 the acquisition unit acquires at least one of biological information items measured within a period corresponding to a period during which the operation screen is displayed, and   the registration control unit registers only biological information items resulting from changes by a predetermined level or larger from a most recently registered biological information item, among the at least one biological information items, in association with the information on the operation screen.   
     
     
         11 . The image processing apparatus according to  claim 9 , wherein
 the biological information items are measured the plurality of time points being at predetermined time intervals.   
     
     
         12 . The image processing apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the acquisition unit acquires the biological information measured by a wearable device worn by the user from the wearable device through communication with the wearable device.   
     
     
         13 . The image processing apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the acquisition unit acquires the biological information measured by a wearable device worn by the user, thereafter transferred to a server and stored in the server from the server through communication with the server.   
     
     
         14 . The image processing apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the registration control unit transmits operation screen history information containing the information on the operation screen and the biological information of the user in association with each other to a server for storage of the operation screen history information.   
     
     
         15 . The image processing apparatus according to  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a determination unit configured to determine the operation screen to be an improvement needed screen when the state of the user within a period during which the operation screen is displayed is determined not to be in a normal condition on a basis of the biological information of the user.
