Order transmission processes 1
Fig. 5 is for describing the flow chart that the order transmission of input equipment 11 processes.Below with reference to Fig. 5, input is described The order transmission of equipment 11 processes.
In step S1, acquiring unit 101 obtains operational ton.Specifically, acceleration transducer 31 and angular-rate sensor 32 Detection output and the button information of operation based on button 33 be acquired.
Hold user it is to say, angular-rate sensor 32 exports and in 3 D auto space, operate input equipment 11 In the case of generated movement around Y ' axle with around the angular velocity (ω ψ (t), ω θ (t)) of X ' axle.Similarly, acceleration sensing Device 31 exports to be held user and operates the X " axle of the movement generated in the case of input equipment 11 in 3 D auto space With " the acceleration (Ax (t), Ay (t)) of axle around Y.Acquiring unit 101 obtain the angular velocity (ω ψ (t), ω θ (t)) that detects and Acceleration (Ax (t), Ay (t)).Specifically, angular velocity (ω ψ (t), ω θ (t)) and acceleration (Ax (t), Ay (t)) are through built-in The A/D conversion of the A/D converter in arithmetic element 34, is then fed into.
It follows that in step S2, transmitting element 105 sends order based on the acquisition result in step S1.Specifically, life Make and being modulated in communication unit 35, and be sent to image display 12 via antenna 36 by radio wave.
Noting, order is not necessarily the order of certain format, but can be that image display 12 can be based on it Perform the information of predetermined process.
By repeating the above, predetermined command is sent to image display 12 from input equipment 11.
Display control processes 1
Order is have sent from input equipment 11, the antenna 51 of image display 12 upon process as shown in Figure 5 It is received by its radio wave.Communication unit 52 demodulates the order received via antenna 51, and this order is fed to fortune Calculate unit 53.The acquiring unit 151 of arithmetic element 53 obtains the order sent.Here, arithmetic element 53 is come based on this order Perform display control to process.
Fig. 6 is the flow chart describing the display control process that image display 12 performs.Describe below with reference to Fig. 6 Display control processes.
In step S21, it is determined that unit 154 judges that the state of input equipment 11 is upwards plumbness or level. The state of input equipment 11 will be described with reference to Figure 7.
Fig. 7 is the diagram describing prime.When user sets zoom mode, prime is operated.Prime It is posture in rotary moving, as it is shown in fig. 7, this posture in rotary moving is for vertical axis 11S and the longitudinal direction of input equipment 11 On Zhou11LWei Qi center, input equipment 11 (is used label from the front surface of input equipment 11 level upward The state that 11H represents) rotate to its front end and be in the state (state represented with label 11V) of upwards plumbness, so that The front surface of input equipment 11 is towards user.It is to say, in step S21, it is determined that whether the state of input equipment 11 is with mark Number upwards plumbness that 11V represents.
Can be from the Z shown in Fig. 2, " size of acceleration A z (t) direction of principal axis judges the longitudinal direction of input equipment 11 The angle [alpha] about Y-axis of the axle 11L on direction.When the angle [alpha] about Y-axis is at first threshold set in advance (such as 10 degree) Within time, input equipment 11 is judged as being in upwards plumbness.Such as, between acceleration A z (t) and gravity acceleration g Difference within first threshold time, i.e. when acceleration A z (t) is roughly the same with gravity acceleration g, input equipment 11 can be by It is judged to be in upwards plumbness.
On the other hand, in the case of set point lectotype, user operation tierce.Fig. 8 is to describe tierce Diagram.As it can be seen, tierce is such posture: it is for vertical axis 11S and the longitudinal direction of input equipment 11 Zhou11LWei Qi center, input equipment 11 is in upwards plumbness so that front surface is towards the shape of user from its front end State (state represented with label 11V) rotates to the front surface of input equipment 11 level upward (with label 11H table The state shown).It is to say, tierce is the posture in rotary moving of the contrary posture as prime.
When the angle γ about Z axis of axle 11L is within predetermined threshold value (such as 10 degree), input equipment 11 is judged as It is in level.In other words, the angle [alpha] (=90-between axle 11L and the Y-axis on the longitudinal direction at input equipment 11 Time γ) equal to or more than Second Threshold (such as 80 degree), input equipment 11 is judged as being in level.
Can " size of acceleration A z (t) direction of principal axis judges the longitudinal direction side of input equipment 11 from Z in fig. 2 The angle γ about Z axis of axle 11L upwards.Such as, at Z " in the case of acceleration A z (t) on direction of principal axis almost 0, i.e. At Z " on direction of principal axis almost without the component of gravity acceleration g in the case of, input equipment 11 is judged as being in level.
Hold from the various other kinds of information sent by the process of step S2 in Fig. 5 needless to say can be utilized Row state judges.
In the case of the state of input equipment 11 is judged as being in level, i.e. it is judged as being equal in angle [alpha] Or more than in the case of Second Threshold, in step S22, setup unit 152 set point lectotype.Point lectotype be for input The operational ton of equipment 11 moves the pattern of pointer accordingly.
In step S23, performance element 153 performs pointer operation based on order.It is to say, user is with towards display unit The approximate horizontal state of 54 is held and is grasped with arbitrary speed on input equipment 11, and any direction in three dimensions Making, thereby order based on its operational ton is sent.Display pointer on display unit 54 is moved and shows to be grasped with it The precalculated position that work amount is corresponding.Alternately, the object being in selected state is revised accordingly with its operational ton For another object.
In step S24, it is determined that the state of the input equipment 11 in unit 154 decision-point lectotype is that upwards plumbness is also It it is level.In the case of the state of input equipment 11 is judged as level, processes and return to step S23.The most just Being to say, in the case of the state of input equipment 11 is level, the execution of the pointer operation in step S23 processes and is weighed Multiple.
Judge that input equipment 11 is in upwards in the case of plumbness, i.e. in angle [alpha] in first threshold in step s 24 In the case of within, in step S25, it is determined that unit 154 judges upwards whether plumbness has been essentially continuously M time.Even if to Upper plumbness is detected, be not consecutively detected M (M >=2) secondary in the case of, process also return to step S23, and Process after that is repeated.
In the case of upwards plumbness has been essentially continuously M time, in step S26, setup unit 152 releases some modeling Formula.
In the some lectotype used while input equipment 11 is in substantially horizontal attitude, in upwards plumbness i.e. In the case of making to be detected once, it is also possible to release some lectotype immediately.But, use such configuration, at user error Input equipment 11 is placed in upwards in the case of plumbness by ground, and some lectotype is released from and operability deteriorates.Therefore, only exist Point lectotype is just released in the case of continuous N time detection.
Such as, in the case of the sampling interval utilizing 15ms detects the state of input equipment 11, if M=6, then 75ms (=15 × (6-1)) becomes threshold value, and therefore when upwards plumbness continues 75ms or longer time, some lectotype is solved Remove.This judgement can be realized by better simply software algorithm.
Therefore, according to the present invention, it is provided with state angle and two threshold values of state retention time.State angle prevent because of The error detection aspect caused by unexpected Angulation changes during operation is effective.State retention time is preventing because of from unexpected fortune The error detection aspect of the dynamic caused by inertia changed is effective.
Once relieving a lectotype in step S26, in step S27, setup unit 152 just sets zoom mode.The most just It is to say, as it is shown in fig. 7, once prime operation is performed and input equipment 11 has changed to the most vertical from level State, some lectotype is just released from and zoom mode is set.Zoom mode is for the operational ton according to input equipment 11 Amplify and reduce the pattern that picture shows.
Note, judge that input equipment 11 is in upwards in the case of plumbness, in step S22 to S26 in step S21 Process is skipped, and sets zoom mode the most in step s 27.
User is zooming in or out operation second in the case of picture shows.Fig. 9 is the diagram describing second. As it can be seen, second is to move in parallel posture, this moves in parallel posture for parallel be in upwards plumbness Input equipment 11 is moved to the position close to user as represented with label 11N and moves to as with label 11F table by motion The position away from user shown.
Therefore, in step S28, it is determined that unit 154 judges that main part has moved forward or has been moved rearwards by.To reach In the case of dynamic main part 41, i.e. in the case of moving up main part 41 close to the side of user, Y in fig. 2 is " on direction of principal axis Acceleration A y (t) becomes the predetermined value according to just (or negative) operational ton.On the contrary, in the case of being moved rearwards by main part 41, i.e. exist In the case of moving up main part 41 away from the side of user, " acceleration A y (t) on direction of principal axis becomes according to negative Y in fig. 2 The predetermined value of (or just) operational ton.Therefore, in the case of the value in acceleration A y (t) is almost 0, it is possible to determine that main part 41 not by Mobile, if or it moved, then its direction is to the left and to the right.In this case, main part 41 is judged as not existing Moved in backward/forward direction.On the contrary, in the case of being detected according to the predetermined value of plus or minus operational ton, main part 41 are judged as being moved in backward/forward direction.
It is judged as in backward/forward direction in the case of by movement at main part 41, in step S29, output unit 155 zoom in or out picture shows.Positive and negative according to acceleration A y (t) judges to amplify or reduce.Such as, at acceleration Ay (t) be just in the case of, picture shows reduced (or amplify), and for being amplified (or reducing) in the case of bearing. Amplification (or minification) can be according to considering acceleration A y (t), the size or subsequently of angular velocity omega ψ (t) around Y ' axle The size around angular velocity omega ψ (t) of Y ' axle of the imaginary radius R described controls.It is to say, according to the shifting of input equipment 11 Dynamic speed, the movement velocity of zoom mode can be controlled.
User, input equipment 11 is moved to from the position represented with label 11 situation of the position represented with label 11N Under, the image on display unit 54 is reduced, as gone out shown on the display unit represented with label 54N.On the contrary, in input In the case of equipment is moved to, from the position represented with label 11, the position represented with label 11F, the figure on display unit 54 As being exaggerated, as gone out shown on the display unit represented with label 54F.
Second be state move in parallel change, therefore with as the prime of change in rotary moving and the 3rd appearance It is simple that gesture is distinguished mutually.
In the case of the set point lectotype when being in zoom mode, user operation tierce.In step S30, Identifying unit 154 judges that the state of input equipment 11 is upwards plumbness or level again.At input equipment 11 State be judged as upwards plumbness time, process be returned to step S28.It is to say, the state at input equipment 11 is protected In the case of holding as upwards plumbness, the process shown for zooming in or out picture in step S29 is repeated.
Step S28 judge main part 41 the most backward/move forward in the case of, it is determined that unit 154 step S30 judge defeated Entering the state of equipment 11 is upwards plumbness or level.State at input equipment 11 is determined to be the most vertical In the case of state, process and be returned to step S28, and process after that is repeated.It is to say, in zoom mode In the state of input equipment 11 be upwards in the case of plumbness, if main part 41 the most backward/move forward, then do not hold The process that row is actual.
In the state of input equipment 11 in the case of step S30 is judged as level, i.e. in zoom mode In the case of the state of input equipment 11 is level, in step S31, it is determined that unit 154 judges whether level is connected Continue and have detected n times.Even if level is detected, be not consecutively detected N (N >=2) secondary in the case of, process also returns to To step S28, and process after that is repeated.It is to say, zoom mode continues.
In the case of level has been essentially continuously n times, i.e. level maintained continuously the sampling time × (N-1), in the case of time, setup unit 152 releases zoom mode in step S32.Once relieve zoom mode, process Move back to step S22, and setup unit 152 set point lectotype.
Even if if releasing zoom mode in the case of level is detected once in zoom mode the most immediately, that User error input equipment 11 is placed in level in the case of will release zoom mode, therefore make operability dislike Change.Therefore, in the case of N continuous time detection, zoom mode is only just released.
Therefore, once input equipment 11 becomes being in upwards plumbness (once performing prime operation), just sets Reduced mode playback.But, once set at zoom mode, simply enter equipment 11 unchanged in level (as long as not performing Three gesture operation), just maintain and do not release zoom mode.Therefore, it can perform in a stable manner zoom operations, this scaling is grasped Work is to move in parallel posture, moves in parallel posture by this, has the upwards vertical configuration being in all states as shown in Figure 9 etc The input equipment 11 of the front end of state is moved closer to or further from user.Even if it is to say, input sets during operation The state of standby 11 the most significantly tilts to the angle close to level, and zoom mode the most still can be maintained.
Additionally, once input equipment 11 becomes being in level (once performing tierce operation), with regard to set point Lectotype.But, as described in the process in step S21 to S26, once set at a lectotype, simply enter equipment It is unchanged as being in upwards plumbness (as long as being not carried out prime operation), just maintains and do not release the pattern of clicking.Therefore, may be used To perform such operation as depicted in a stable manner: this operation is for any direction in 3 D auto space Mobile be in approximate horizontal state, make its front end input equipment 11 towards the direction of display unit 54 in any direction Upper mobile pointer.Even if it is to say, the state of input equipment 11 the most significantly tilts to close to upwards hanging down during operation The angle of straight state, some lectotype the most still can be maintained.
Noting, the identical routine (routine) processed between neighbouring step in Fig. 6 is tied when being repeated preset times Bundle, or in same step preset predetermined time amount time the most out-of-date end.Additionally, once user performs such as in operation Period discharges button, the stop button of Operation Definition being pressed or is removed etc from photoelectric type touch sensor by finger Operation, just terminate the process in Fig. 6.Therefore, user can set by changing input on predetermined direction in three dimensions The state of standby 11 changes pattern.
Noting, controlled pattern is not limited to a lectotype and zoom mode.Can also control for roll display figure The rolling mode of picture, for changing the channel of channel and redirect/return pattern, for increasing/reduce the increase/reduction of audio volume Pattern and other patterns.Additionally, the posture of input equipment 11 is not limited to the situation shown in Fig. 7 to Fig. 9.
Figure 10 A and Figure 10 B is the diagram for describing other postures.As shown in figs. 10 a and 10b, such as, for protecting Hold the operation (Figure 10 A) upwards moved in parallel while being in upwards plumbness in left right or in vertical direction On the operation (Figure 10 B) that moves in parallel can be second.
Figure 11 is the diagram for further describing other postures.As it can be seen, once by input equipment 11 along direction C from As represent with label 11 basis level 90-degree rotation so that its front end upward, input equipment 11 just becomes It is in the upwards plumbness represented with label 11C.Its state is the state shown in Fig. 7.
Additionally, once by input equipment 11 along direction D from level 90-degree rotation so that its front end is downward, input sets Standby 11 just become being in the state downward vertically represented with label 11D.
Additionally, once input equipment 11 A in the counterclockwise direction is just become from level 90-degree rotation, input equipment 11 It is in the state that have rotated 90 degree in the counterclockwise direction represented with label 11A.Once by input equipment 11 B along clockwise direction From level 90-degree rotation, input equipment 11 just becomes being in and has been rotated in a clockwise direction 90 degree with what label 11B represented State.Once from level, input equipment 11 B along clockwise direction being revolved turnback, input equipment 11 just becomes being in With label 11E represent towards rearward state.These postures can be such as prime or tierce.
Utilize such posture, it is possible to achieve the function similar with above-mentioned situation.By combination as the first to the 3rd appearance These postures of gesture, user can perform operation intuitively.
2. the second embodiment
Order transmission processes 2
Figure 12 is the flow chart describing another order transmission process that input equipment 11 performs.According to the present embodiment, also exist Input equipment 11 side performs the management of pattern.
It is to say, acquiring unit 101 obtains operational ton in step S101.Input equipment 11 is held and in three-dimensional user In the case of operating in free space, acceleration transducer 31 and angular-rate sensor 32 detection operate corresponding with it Operational ton.Here, acceleration transducer 31 acceleration (Ay (t), Az (t)) of Y " axle and the Z " axle detected and by angle speed Degree sensor 32 detect the angular velocity around Y ' axle and Z ' axle (ω ψ (t),) be acquired.Alternately, X " adding of axle Speed Ax (t) can be obtained further.Additionally, in the case of the button of input equipment 11 is operated, its operation signal is also It is acquired.
In step S102, computing unit 102 calculates the angle of input equipment.Can be based on Y " acceleration A y (t) of axle and " acceleration A z (t) of axle calculates the luffing angle α about Y-axis of input equipment 11 to Z according to following formula.
α=arctan (Az (t)/Ay (t)) (1)
Identifying unit 103 judges that present mode is in a lectotype or zoom mode in step s 103.With In the case of setting zoom mode or some lectotype in step S105 of rear description and S109, this pattern is stored, and therefore sentences Surely can perform according to such storage.
In the case of present mode is a lectotype, it is determined that unit 103 judges the angle of input equipment 11 in step S104 Whether degree falls into the mode conversion angular range from a lectotype to zoom mode.Such as it is shown in fig. 7, at input equipment 11 In the case of upwards plumbness, i.e. in the case of the angle [alpha] about Y-axis of input equipment 11 is within 10 degree, set Unit 104 sets zoom mode in step S105.Present mode now is stored as zoom mode.Based on this storage, above-mentioned Judgement in step S103 is performed.
Subsequently, processing and return to step S101, the operational ton of operation based on user is obtained again, and input equipment The angle of 11 is calculated in step s 102.In this case, set zoom mode, therefore, it is determined that unit 103 is in step S108 judges whether the angle of input equipment 11 falls into the mode conversion angular range from zoom mode a to lectotype.Such as, As shown in Figure 8, in the case of the angle about Z axis of input equipment 11 is within 10 degree, i.e. in the case of level, The angle determining input equipment 11 is in the mode conversion angular range from zoom mode a to lectotype.
Angle at input equipment 11 is not in the feelings of the mode conversion angular range from zoom mode a to lectotype Under condition, computing unit 102 calculates amount of zoom in step s 110.It is to say, based on the input being in upwards plumbness Amount of movement in the Z-direction of equipment 11, calculates the amount of zoom of the most such as amount of zoom shown in Fig. 9 etc.In step S111, Transmitting element 105 sends the order being shown in the amount of zoom calculated in step S110.Additionally, if desired with operated button The order of relevant button information is also sent.Specifically, this order is modulated by communication unit 35, and passes through nothing via antenna 36 Line electric wave is sent to image display 12.
Now noting, the operation that user is carrying out is zoom operations rather than for moving the operation of pointer.Therefore, Can send and illustrate that pointer amount of movement is that the order of 0 is to forbid that pointer moves.
As will be described with reference to Figure 13 subsequently, upon receipt of order, image display 12 is carried out corresponding thereto The process answered.Therefore, as it is shown in figure 9, be at input equipment 11 and upwards perform shifting in the Z-axis direction while plumbness Dynamic operation, i.e. performs second, and therefore the image of display unit 54 can be exaggerated/reduce (scaling).
User by pattern in the case of zoom mode is switched to a lectotype, as shown in Figure 8, tierce is performed And input equipment 11 changes to level from upwards plumbness.In this case, determine in step S103 and work as front mould Under the state that formula is zoom mode, the angle of input equipment 11 is judged as being in from zoom mode to clicking in step S108 The mode conversion angular range of pattern.Therefore, setup unit 104 is in step S109 set point lectotype.Now, the most currently Pattern is that the information of a lectotype is stored.Here, the judgement in above-mentioned steps S103 is stored based on this and is performed.
Subsequently, processing and return to step S101, the operational ton of operation based on user is obtained again, and in step S102, the angle of input equipment 11 is calculated.In this case, some lectotype is set, therefore, it is determined that unit 103 is in step S104 judges whether the angle of input equipment 11 falls into the mode conversion angular range from a lectotype to zoom mode.The most such as Shown in Fig. 7, in the case of the angle about Y-axis of input equipment 11 is more than 10 degree, it is determined that go out this angle and do not fall within from point Lectotype is to the mode conversion angular range of zoom mode.In this case, the process of step S105 is not carried out.Namely Saying, some lectotype is maintained constant.
In step S106, computing unit 102 calculates the amount of movement of pointer.It is to say, obtain based in step S101 Operational ton calculate the amount of movement of pointer.Such as, calculate and refer to by acceleration (Ax (t), Ay (t)) being multiplied by pre-determined factor The amount of movement of pin.
In step S107, transmitting element 105 sends the order of the amount of movement being shown in the pointer calculated in step S106. Additionally, the order of the button information relevant with operated button is sent.Specifically, this order is modulated by communication unit 35, and It is sent to image display 12 by radio wave via antenna 36.Now, the operation that user performs is that pointer moves behaviour Make or object moves operation rather than the operation for zoomed image.Therefore, it can to send illustrate amount of zoom be 0 order with Forbid scaling.
As it has been described above, upon receipt of order, image display 12 is carried out process corresponding thereto.Therefore, use Family carries out operating while being in level at input equipment 11 mobile defeated on any direction in 3 D auto space Entering equipment 11, thereby pointer can move in the desirable direction.
After the process of step S107, process and return to step S101, and process after that is repeated.
Noting, pattern sets and can be performed in that side of image display 12.In this case, in step S105 With in S109, sent for setting zoom mode and each signal put in lectotype.
Therefore, by changing the state of input equipment 11, user can be between the function of zoom mode and some lectotype Switch over.
Display control processes 2
Figure 13 is for describing, the display of image display 12 execution corresponding with the order transmission process in Figure 12 The flow chart that control processes.
In step S151, acquiring unit 151 obtains order.It is to say, step S107 in fig. 12 and S111 send out The order sent is received by communication unit 52 via antenna 51, demodulated, is supplied to arithmetic element 53, and is acquired.
In step S152, it is determined that unit 103 performs the process corresponding with the order obtained in step S151.Specifically, Based on the pointer amount of movement sent in step S107 of Figure 12, pointer is moved and is shown on display unit 54.Additionally, base In the amount of zoom sent in step S111, image is scaled on display unit 54.
Figure 14 A and Figure 14 B is the diagram illustrating display example when being in a lectotype.Note, at Figure 14 A and figure In 14B, 201 is the label that each object shares, and 201A to 201C is the label indicating the object being identified wherein.
Figure 14 A is illustrated based on input equipment 11 and includes hand shaking (hand trembling) in 3 D auto space Mobile operation, the state of the pointer 211 moved in a non-linear manner.Additionally, once the confirming button of input equipment 11 (does not shows Go out) operated, the object 201A of that object positioned as multiple object 201 pointers 211 is just chosen, and frame 202 are displayed on its periphery.
Note, determine and can substitute for the operation of confirming button and be command by.For example, it is possible at pointer 211 on object 201 Stop preset amount or select this object 201 in the case of the longer time.Furthermore, it is possible to stop on object 201 at pointer 211 Only preset amount or longer time and angular velocity are more than preset amount and select this right less than in the case of preset value As 201.Alternately, can select to be somebody's turn to do in the case of the peripheral operation (posture) of object 201 at execution pointer 211 Object 201.
In Figure 14 B, first, object 201A is selected by sightless virtual mouse.Then, user is in level side to the right Move up/operate input equipment 11.Therefore, selected objects becomes object 201B, and this object 201B is located at direction of operating Among object in (horizontal direction the most to the right), in position closest to object 201A object (in this case, Position is slightly below horizontal direction).After this, user moves up in surface/operates input equipment 11 further.Therefore, Selected objects becomes object 201C, this object 201C be located among the object on direction of operating (i.e. directly over to), Closest to the object (in this case, position from surface to the most to the left) of object 201B on position.Note, in place Put immediate to liking the immediate object in position in the predetermined angular range centered by the direction of operating of user.Cause This, according to the present embodiment, along with the most mobile operation of input equipment 11, selected objects sequentially moves.
The diagram of display example when Figure 15 A and 15B is to be shown in zoom mode.In Figure 15 A, object 201A is selected Select.In this condition, pattern becomes zoom mode from cursor mode, and once performs scaling behaviour in upwards plumbness Making, as shown in fig. 15b, at this time point, selected object 201A is scaled.In the display example of Figure 15 B, in Figure 15 A Object 201A by with amplify view shown.
The diagram of display example when Figure 16 A and 16B is to be shown in another zoom mode.As from Figure 15 A to Figure 16 B Relatively it can be noted that in the display example of zoom mode in Figure 16 A and 16B, the pointer 211 in Figure 15 A and 15B is deleted Remove.
3. the 3rd embodiment
Order transmission processes 3
Figure 17 is the flow chart describing another order transmission process that input equipment 11 performs.In Figure 17, step S201 arrives Process in S215 is substantially similar to the process in Figure 12 in step S101 to S111.But, in the situation of the embodiment of Figure 17 Under, in the case of the angular velocity of input equipment 11 is relatively big, limit pointer amount of movement and amount of zoom.
It is to say, in fig. 12, it is " angle in step S104 that the calculating of the pointer amount of movement in step S106 processes Fall into the mode conversion angular range from a lectotype to zoom mode?" determination processing after perform.On the contrary, at Figure 17 In, the process in step S206 corresponding with step S106 in Figure 12 be in fig. 17 with the step S104 phase in Figure 12 The previous stage of corresponding step S207 performs.
In fig. 17, determining present mode in step S203 corresponding with step S103 in Figure 12 is a lectotype In the case of, in step S204, performed determination processing by identifying unit 103.That is, it is determined that obtain in step s 201 The size of angular velocity whether equal to threshold value or bigger.
The absolute value of the angle detected by angular-rate sensor 32 such as can serve as the size of angular velocity.Specifically, The luffing angle θ and deflection angle rotated rotating around the pitching rotary shaft parallel with X ' axle and Y ' axle and deflection rotary shaft can be used Absolute value | ω θ (t) | or | ω ψ (t) | of the angular velocity of degree ψ.Angular velocity is seat based on input equipment 11 in this case The value that the relative coordinate of parameter is fastened.
Alternately, can be by the absolute value of angular velocity in roll (for example, it is possible to from being detected by acceleration transducer 31 Acceleration A x (t), Ay (t) resultant vector time diffusion obtain) be used as angular velocity size.Further, it is also possible to use from The gravity that the angular velocity detected by angular-rate sensor 32 and the accelerometer detected by acceleration transducer 31 calculate is sat Luffing angle θ in mark system (absolute coordinate system) and the absolute value of the angular velocity of deflection angle ψ.
In the case of the size (absolute value) of angular velocity is less than predetermined threshold value, step S206 is passed through computing unit 102 perform the process for calculating pointer amount of movement.In step S207 by identifying unit 103 determine angle do not fall within from Point lectotype, in the case of the mode conversion angular range of zoom mode, in step S209, will calculate in step S206 Pointer amount of movement be sent to image display 12.It is to say, process in this case is analogous in Figure 12 The process of situation.
On the contrary, determine the size of angular velocity equal to threshold value or bigger in the case of, in step S205, computing unit Limits value is set as amount of movement by 102.Specifically, such as 0 is set to amount of movement.Alternately, come with the sensitivity weakened Set amount of movement.Even if it is to say, the operational ton of input equipment 11 is relatively big, also perform to be set so that pointer does not moves, or Even if person it to move amount of movement the least.In step S209, the amount of movement with so limits value of setting is sent.
It is to say, in the case of angular velocity is more than predetermined threshold value, send the amount of movement with the limits value being set. In the case of user, on the longitudinal direction as shown in Fig. 7 or 8, rotating input device 11 is to carry out pattern change, this is to rotate The size operating therefore angular velocity becomes bigger.This operation is that pattern changes operation rather than for moving the operation of pointer, because of This wishes that pointer does not move, if or it move, its amount of movement is less.It is to say, the bigger meaning of the size of angular velocity Angle change (state change) input equipment 11 is fast.During the pattern of this means is in change.Therefore, changed in pattern In the case of change, by limiting before changing, the process of pattern is improved operability.
Therefore, available following advantage.Such as in Figure 15 A, it is assumed that pointer 211 is positioned on object 201A.At this Under kind of state, user by pattern in the case of a lectotype is switched to zoom mode, as it is shown in fig. 7, input equipment 11 exists Rotate on longitudinal direction.But, the movement of pointer 211 is restricted to not because this operation is moved.It is to say, pointer 211 not from Even if object 201A removes or it moves it apart from the least.
Additionally, in the state shown in Figure 16 A, even if pattern to be switched to user the feelings of zoom mode from a lectotype Under condition, pointer 211 is also restrained because of its movement operated.Therefore, which suppress and be such as in selection shape by what frame 202 showed Object 201 in state is moved to the generation of the event of another object etc.
Similarly, in fig. 12, the calculating of amount of zoom is processed by step S110 be in step S108 " angle fall into from Zoom mode is to the mode conversion angular range of some lectotype?" determination processing after perform.On the contrary, in fig. 17, with figure Process in step S212 that step S110 in 12 is corresponding is in fig. 17 corresponding with step S108 in Figure 12 The previous step of step S213 performs.
In fig. 17, determining present mode in step S203 corresponding with step S103 in Figure 12 is zoom mode In the case of, in step S210, performed determination processing by identifying unit 103.That is, it is determined that obtain in step s 201 The size of angular velocity whether equal to or more than threshold value.
In the size of angular velocity less than in the case of predetermined threshold value, in step S212 by computing unit perform for Calculate the process of amount of zoom.In step S213, determined angle by identifying unit 103 do not fall within from zoom mode to a modeling In the case of the mode conversion angular range of formula, in step S215, the amount of zoom calculated in step S212 is sent to figure As display device 12.It is to say, the process of situation that process in this case is analogous in Figure 12.
On the contrary, step S210 determine the size of angular velocity equal to or more than threshold value in the case of, in step S211, meter Calculate unit 102 and limits value is set as amount of zoom.Specifically, such as 0 is set to amount of zoom.Alternately, with the spirit weakened Sensitivity sets amount of zoom.Even if it is to say, perform to be set so that the operational ton of input equipment is relatively big, the most there is not contracting Put, or less if there is scaling then amount of zoom.In step S215, the amount of zoom with so limits value of setting is sent out Send.
It is to say, in the size of angular velocity more than in the case of predetermined threshold value, send and there is the limits value that is set Amount of zoom.User is changing pattern, the feelings therefore rotated on the longitudinal direction as shown in Fig. 7 or 8 at input equipment 11 Under condition, this is that the size of rotation process therefore angular velocity becomes bigger.This operation is that pattern changes operation rather than scaling behaviour Make, it is desirable to it is not there is not any scaling or less if there is scaling then its amount.Therefore, situation about being changed in pattern Under (i.e. in the case of being in during change), by limiting before changing, the process of pattern is improved operability.
Other process is similar to the situation in Figure 12, therefore omits repetition thereof.Additionally, with in Figure 17 Processing the corresponding process performed in that side of image display 12 and be similar to the situation shown in Figure 13, it is right therefore to omit Its description.
Note, by slow rotating input device 11 in a longitudinal direction, i.e. by carrying out rotating so that angular velocity Size is not more than threshold value, and the state of input equipment 11 is changed without change pattern.
4. the 4th embodiment
Order transmission processes 4
Figure 18 is the flow chart describing the another order transmission process that input equipment 11 performs.In Figure 18, step S301 arrives Process in S316 is substantially similar to the process in Figure 17 in step S201 to S215.
But, according to the embodiment shown in Figure 18, in step S305 corresponding with step S204 in Figure 17 and S210 Whether whether threshold is equaled to or less than equal to or more than predetermined threshold value and imaginary radius R with the size judging angular velocity in S311 Value.Therefore, the step before the present mode determination processing in step S304 (it is corresponding with step S203 in Figure 17) S303, performs the process for calculating imaginary radius R by computing unit 102.
Such as, imaginary radius R is calculated as follows.Input equipment 11 is obtained by being multiplied with radius of turn by angular velocity Speed.It is to say, the movement of input equipment 11 is the shoulder with user, elbow or wrist in the case of user operation input equipment 11 Combination in rotary moving centered by Deng.Its radius of turn becomes changing from for each combined time period in rotary moving The center of rotation become is to the distance of input equipment 11.
Angular velocity omega θ (t) around X ' axle has the component motion in Y direction, and around angular velocity omega ψ (t) of Y ' axle There is the component motion in X-direction.Therefore, if the speed in the X-direction of input equipment 11 and Y direction is (Vx (t), Vy (t)), then represent radius of turn (Rx (t), Ry (t)) with following formula.
(Rx (t), Ry (t))=(Vx (t), Vy (t))/(ω ψ (t), ω θ (t)) ... (2)
(Vx (t), the Vy (t)) and (ω ψ (t), ω θ (t)) on formula (2) right side is the dimension (dimension) of speed.Even if The speed represented on formula (2) right side and being each differentiated of angular velocity, and become acceleration (or angular velocity) dimension or The dimension of the time rate of change of person's acceleration (or angular velocity), dependency also will not be loss.Similarly, though speed and angular velocity Each dimension being integrated and become displacement, dependency also will not be loss.
Therefore, by make formula (2) right side shown in speed and angular velocity as displacement, acceleration (or angular velocity) and The dimension of the time rate of change of acceleration (or angular velocity), obtains following formula (3) and arrives (5).
(Rx (t), Ry (t))=(x (t), y (t))/(ψ (t), θ (t)) ... (3)
(Rx (t), Ry (t))=(Ax (t), Ay (t))/(Δ ω ψ (t), Δ ω θ (t)) ... (4)
(Rx (t), Ry (t))=(Δ Ax (t), Δ Ay (t))/(Δ (Δ ω ψ (t)), Δ (Δ ω θ (t))) ... (5)
Among above-mentioned formula, if such as paying close attention to formula (5), it can be seen that if the change of acceleration (Ax (t), Ay (t)) Rate (Δ Ax (t), Δ Ay (t)) and angular velocity (Δ ω ψ (t), Δ ω θ (t)) rate of change (Δ (Δ ω ψ (t)), Δ (Δ ω θ (t))) it is known that radius of turn (Rx (t), Ry (t)) so can be drawn.According to the present embodiment, obtain radius based on formula (5) (Rx (t), Ry (t)).
Computing unit 102 obtains acceleration (Ax (t), (Ay as the detected value obtained from acceleration transducer 31 (t)), and calculate rate of change (Δ Ax (t), Δ Ay (t)).Additionally, computing unit image pick up equipment 102 obtains as from angle speed The angular velocity of the second dervative of the detected value that degree sensor 32 obtains, and calculate this angular velocity (Δ ω ψ (t), Δ ω θ (t)) Rate of change (Δ (Δ ω ψ (t)), Δ (Δ ω θ (t))).Computing unit 102 according to formula (5) calculate radius of turn (Rx (t), Ry(t))。
In step S305 and S311, angular velocity size equal to or more than predetermined threshold value and imaginary radius R equal to or In the case of threshold value, its operation is judged as operation during mode conversion.It is mode conversion once determine its operation Operation, be carried out the process in step S306 corresponding with step S205 in Figure 17 and S211 and S312.It is to say, In step S306, set limits value for pointer amount of movement, and set limits value for amount of zoom in step S312.
Subsequently, in step S310 corresponding with step S209 in Figure 17 and S215 and S316, send and have through setting Each of the pointer amount of movement of fixed limits value or amount of zoom.Here other operate situation about being similar in Figure 17, therefore Omit description of them.
In the case of moving pointer or zooming in and out, user operates input equipment 11 by relatively stretching one's arm. On the contrary, all pattern change operations as shown in FIG. 7 and 8 perform by rotating wrist.Therefore, the feelings when pattern changes Moving pointer as the imaginary radius R ratio from input equipment 11 to the distance of fulcrum in rotary moving and zooming in and out under condition In the case of shorter.Therefore, by being based not only on the size of angular velocity and size based on imaginary radius R performs to sentence Fixed, it is to change for pattern or can be more accurate for the judgement clicked operation.
Receive the display control that the image display 12 from the order of input equipment 11 transmission such as performs Figure 13 Processing, this point is also similar to that the situation of embodiment shown in Figure 17.
5. the 5th embodiment
Order transmission processes 5
Figure 19 is the flow chart describing the another order transmission process that input equipment 11 performs.In the present embodiment, as In the case of shown in display example in Figure 16 A and 16B like that, in the case of change is in the object in selection state, For changing the operation of object and being compartmentalized for changing the operation of pattern.
In step S401 to S404, perform similarly to the process of step S201 to S204 in Figure 17.
It is to say, acquiring unit 101 obtains operational ton in step S401.Hold and in 3 D auto space user In the case of operation input equipment 11, acceleration transducer 31 and angular-rate sensor 32 detection operate corresponding operation with it Amount.The acceleration (Ay (t), Az (t)) of Y " axle and the Z " axle detected by acceleration transducer 31 and by angular-rate sensor 32 detect around Y ' axle and around Z ' axle angular velocity (ω ψ (t),) be acquired at this moment.Alternately, X " adding of axle Speed (Ax (t)) can be acquired.Additionally, in the case of the button of input equipment 11 is here operated, operation signal is also Can be acquired.
In step S402, computing unit 102 calculates the angle of input equipment.Based on Y " acceleration A y (t) of axle and Z " axle Acceleration A z (t), the luffing angle α about Y-axis of input equipment 11 can be calculated from above-mentioned formula (1).
In step S403, it is determined that unit 103 judges that present mode is a lectotype or zoom mode.Describe subsequently In the case of setting zoom mode in step S409, this pattern is stored, therefore, it is determined that can make according to this storage.? In the case of not setting zoom mode, institute's judge is a lectotype.
Step S403 determine in the case of present mode is a lectotype, by identifying unit 103 in step S404 Middle execution determination processing.That is, it is determined that whether the size in the angular velocity of step S401 acquisition equals to or more than threshold value.
In the case of the size of angular velocity is less than predetermined threshold value, setup unit 104 is variable by object in step S406 Flag is set as changing.On the contrary, in the case of the size of angular velocity equals to or more than predetermined threshold value, setup unit 104 exists Variable for object flag is set as immutable by step S405.It is to say, set flag to limit mould before changing The process of formula.
After process in step S405 and S406, in step S407, computing unit 102 calculates the amount of movement of pointer. It is to say, the amount of movement of pointer is based in step S401 what the operational ton obtained calculated.Such as, by by acceleration (Ax (t), Ay (t)) is multiplied by pre-determined factor, calculates pointer amount of movement.
Then, in step S408, it is determined that unit 103 judges whether the angle of input equipment 11 falls into from a lectotype to contracting The mode conversion angular range of mode playback.Such as it is shown in fig. 7, in the angle [alpha] about Y-axis of input equipment 11 within 10 degree In the case of, i.e. in the case of upwards plumbness, setup unit 104 sets zoom mode in step S409.To the effect that Present mode now is that the information of zoom mode is stored.Judgement in above-mentioned steps S403 performs based on this storage.
Subsequently, processing and return to step S401, the operational ton of operation based on user is obtained again, and in step S402, the angle of input equipment 11 is re-computed.In this case, zoom mode is set, and therefore processes from step S403 proceeds to step S411.Computing unit 102 calculates based on the operational ton obtained in step S401 in step S411 Amount of zoom.Such as, with pointer amount of movement similarly, by acceleration (Ax (t), Ay (t)) is multiplied by pre-determined factor to calculate contracting High-volume.
In step S412, transmitting element 105 is sent in the amount of zoom calculated in step S411.
Upon receipt of amount of zoom, image display 12 is based on this amount of zoom as shown in Figure 16 A and Figure 16 B Zoomed image like that.Process is performed as shown in the flow chart in Figure 13.
In step S408, the angle at input equipment 11 is judged as not falling within the pattern from a lectotype to zoom mode In the case of translation-angle scope, in step S410, transmitting element 105 sends pointer amount of movement and the variable flag of object.Note, Pointer amount of movement calculates in step S 407, and the variable flag of object sets in step S405 and S406.
It is to say, as it is shown in fig. 7, in the angle [alpha] about Y-axis of input equipment 11 more than in the case of 10 degree, from point Lectotype is not designated to the pattern change of zoom mode.Therefore, some lectotype is maintained constant.
Upon receipt of the variable flag of pointer amount of movement and object, it is based on received pointer amount of movement and object can Become flag and change the object being in selection state.Here, process is performed as shown in the flow chart in Figure 13.
As shown above, according to the present embodiment, in the case of pattern change is operated by user, this information quilt It is set as flag.Therefore, based on the user operation in addition to changing operation except pattern, prevent from utilizing what frame 202 showed to be in choosing The object 201 selected in state becomes another object.
Display control processes 3
Figure 20 is the flow chart describing the another display control process that image display 12 performs.With the order in Figure 19 Transmission processes the process performed accordingly here.
Acquiring unit 151 obtains the signal sent from input equipment 11 in step S451.This signal is such as in Figure 19 Step S410 and S412 are sent, and is included the variable flag of pointer amount of movement, object, amount of zoom etc..
In step S452, identifying unit 154 judges whether the pointer amount of movement obtained in step S451 is 0.Move at pointer In the case of momentum is not 0, the current pattern set is judged as a lectotype.It is to say, pattern is to move based on pointer Amount determine.Furthermore, it is possible to sent flag to illustrate pattern by input equipment 11, and pattern can be based on this flag It is determined.But, perform mode decision based on amount of movement and achieve from input equipment 11 to image display 12 transmission relatively Little packet size, and the big energy of input equipment 11 can be saved.
In the case of pointer amount of movement is not 0, i.e. in the case of the current pattern set is a lectotype, it is determined that single Unit 154 judges that in step S453 object is the most changeable.Can be variable according to the object obtained in step S451 Flag performs this judgement.
The variable flag of object illustrate changeable in the case of, in step S454, performance element 153 is according to pointer amount of movement Change and be in the object in selected state.It is to say, the object being in selected state is by till heretofore Object changes another object to the position corresponding with pointer amount of movement.
Step S453 determines to as if unmodifiable in the case of, be not carried out for the process changing object, Process returns to step S451, and process after that is repeated.
Step S452 determine in the case of pointer amount of movement is 0, it is determined that unit 154 judges scaling in step S455 Whether amount is 0.In the case of amount of zoom is not 0, the current pattern set is judged as zoom mode.It is to say, based on Amount of zoom performs mode decision.
In the case of amount of zoom is not 0, i.e. in the case of the current pattern set is zoom mode, performance element 153 perform the scaling to the object being in selected state based on amount of zoom in step S456.
Step S455 determine in the case of amount of zoom is 0, selected to being in for performing in step S456 The process of the scaling of the object of state is not carried out, and processes and returns to step S451, and process after that is repeated.

Display control processes 4
Figure 26 and 27 is the flow chart describing the another display control process that image display 12 performs.According to this enforcement Example, is shown for identifying the identification information of the pattern of current setting.According to the present embodiment, input equipment 11 performs the most such as The process of the process shown in Fig. 5 etc, and send order based on user operation.
In step S501, identifying unit 154 judges that the state of input equipment 11 is upwards plumbness or level. Here judgement is analogous to the process of step S21 in Fig. 6 as above, the situation in S24 and S30.
Being judged as being in upwards in the case of plumbness in the state of input equipment 11, setup unit 152 is in step S502 sets zoom mode.It is the prime being performed all gesture operation as shown in Figure 7 etc by user that pattern sets Operation performs.At present, pattern is zoom mode, and therefore output unit 155 only shows zoom mode figure in step S503 Mark.
Figure 28 A and Figure 28 B is the diagram illustrating icon display example.In step S503, the display picture of display unit 54 Such as being controlled as going out as depicted in fig. 28 a.In this diagram, zoom mode is shown as identifying set cover half The icon 301 of the identification information of formula is displayed on the upper right corner of the picture on display unit 54.
If the current pattern set is unknown, then user is unknown to the operation species performed, and this is inconvenient.Cause This, by showing the icon about the pattern set at that time, user can easily and accurately know the pattern of current setting, And desired pattern can be set rapidly.
In step S504, performance element 153 performs zoom mode.It is to say, it is based on second as shown in Figure 9 Operational ton, the display image on display unit 54 scales as shown by label 54N and 54F in Fig. 9.
In step S505, it is determined that unit 154 judges that whether the state of input equipment 11 is upwards plumbness.Namely Say, when setting zoom mode, it is possible to determine that whether the state of input equipment 11 is not changed and is still and upwards hangs down Straight state.
Figure 29 A to Figure 29 E is the diagram of the change of the state illustrating input equipment.The most as shown in figure 29 a, set in input Standby 11 are in upwards in the case of plumbness, process and return to step S503.It is to say, be in upwards at input equipment 11 In the case of plumbness, the process in step S503 to S505 is repeated.
In zoom mode, input equipment 11 is used substantially in upwards plumbness, if but input equipment 11 The angle [alpha] about Y-axis more than 10 degree, then input equipment 11 is judged as being not at upwards plumbness in step S505 In.It is operable to transform to a lectotype from zoom mode it is to say, determine tierce.
Determining in the case of input equipment 11 is not in upwards in plumbness, it is determined that unit 154 determinating mode Whether candidate's icon is shown.In the case of mode candidate icon is not shown, in step S507, output unit 155 is thin Ground display mode candidate icon.
Such as, if input equipment 11 ramps up to the angle about Y-axis from upwards plumbness as shown in figure 29 a Go above 10 degree, as shown in fig. 29b as, then input equipment 11 is judged as being not at upwards plumbness.
Now, such as shown in 28B schemes, around the icon as the zoom mode of present mode, ratio zoom mode figure Mark 301 shows mode candidate icon 302 to 305, as the identification information for markers lightlyer.It is to say, it is permissible Candidate's icon 302 to 305 of the pattern transformed to from present mode shown thus can be from working as front mould during mode conversion Formula identifies.Icon 302 represents some lectotype, and icon 303 represents that rotary mode, icon 304 represent handwriting input mode, and schemes Mark 305 expression rolling mode.
Step S506 determines mode candidate icon shown in the case of, it is not necessary to perform further display, because of Process in this step S507 is skipped.
After process in step s 507, and in step S506, determine what mode candidate icon had been shown In the case of, output unit 155 changes zoom mode icon and some lectotype according to the inclination of input equipment in step S508 The display of icon deep or light.
It is to say, user by pattern in the case of zoom mode changes to a lectotype, such as such as Figure 29 B to 29D Shown in, the state of input equipment 11 is gradually changed to the state close to level.With this operation, zoom mode icon It is changed with the shading display clicking mode icon.
Figure 30 A to Figure 30 D is the diagram being shown in the change example that the icon in the case of change pattern shows.Such as figure Shown in 29B to 29D, once the state of input equipment 11 the most gradually changes to the state close to level, quilt as shown in fig. 30 a The icon 301 for zoom mode shown denselyer the most as shown in figure 30b as shown by the lightest.Point lectotype Icon 302 then shown by the denseest.Once the state of input equipment 11 is the most altered arrives the state close to level, as Shown in Figure 30 B by the lightest the zoom mode icon 301 shown as being shown by lighter as shown in Figure 30 C. On the contrary, being shown by richer by the denseest the mode icon 302 that clicks shown as shown in figure 30b.
So, gradually thicken according to color, it is known which operation now performed is just to change to which pattern.When Shown candidate pattern icon be not desired by user time, user can stop operation.Therefore, user can be quickly the most accurate Pattern desired by really setting.
After process in step S508, it is determined that in step S509, unit 154 judges whether level is examined continuously N times are surveyed.N is equal to the basic number of times of the two or more numeral as predetermined threshold value.Even if level is detected, in inspection In the case of survey number of times is not up to n times, processes and return to step S505, and process after that is repeated.It is to say, Process in zoom mode is maintained.
Even if if releasing zoom mode the most immediately in the case of a level only being detected, then wrong user In the case of being placed in level by input equipment 11, zoom mode is released from by mistake, and therefore operability deteriorates.Therefore, only exist In the case of being essentially continuously n times, just release zoom mode.It is to say, it is similar with the situation in step S31 in Fig. 6 Ground, the time that detected state is maintained is measured.
Determine in the case of level has been essentially continuously n times in step S509, be i.e. maintained in level In the case of predetermined time amount, setup unit 152 releases zoom mode in step S510.In step S511, setup unit 152 sets Fixed point lectotype.Even if in the case of input equipment 11 is judged as being in level in step S501, step S511 In some lectotype setting process be also carried out.
Point lectotype is set, and therefore output unit 155 only shows the icon for a lectotype in step S512.The most just To say, such as input equipment 11 from upwards plumbness as shown in figure 29 a change to as shown in Figure 29 E horizontal In the case of state, only click mode icon 302 and be shown, as shown in fig. 30d.Scaling mould in addition to clicking mode icon 302 Formula icon 301, rotary mode icon 303, handwriting input mode icon 304 and rolling mode icon 305 are the most deleted.Therefore, User knows the pattern of final setting.
Performance element 153 performs some lectotype in step S513.It is to say, based on the input sent from input equipment 11 The operational ton of equipment 11, processes the display image being performed to point on display unit 54.
Then, in step S514, it is determined that unit 154 judges whether input equipment 11 is in level.It is to say, sentence Whether the state determining input equipment 11 maintains in the state that a lectotype is set.
Such as, as shown in Figure 29 E, in the case of input equipment 11 is in level, processes and return to step S512. It is to say, in a lectotype, the process in step S512 to S514 is repeated.
Figure 31 is the diagram of the display example illustrating icon.Figure 31 is shown in and finally sets a lectotype from zoom mode In the case of on display unit 54 state of icon 302 of display.
Can be by changing color rather than only by changing the deep or light pattern identifying current setting and conversion process pattern. Therefore, by the icon of the set pattern of display, user need not remember the state corresponding with each pattern, or uses product hands Volume verifies the state of each pattern, so operability is improved.Additionally, before pattern is switched completely, display transformation mistake Journey pattern allows users to the pattern confirming converting, and thereby desired pattern can quickly and accurately be set.
For some lectotype, input equipment 11 is used substantially in level, but when the pass of input equipment 11 When the angle [alpha] of Y-axis is less than 80 degree (angle γ about Z axis is more than 10 degree), in step S514, judge input equipment 11 not It is in level.It is made it is to say, determine prime with from clicking mode conversion to zoom mode.
Determining in the case of input equipment 11 is not in level, it is determined that unit 154 is in step S515 Whether determinating mode candidate's icon is shown.In the case of mode candidate icon is not shown, output unit 155 is in step S516 shows mode candidate icon thinly.
Step S515 determines mode candidate icon shown in the case of, it is not necessary to perform further display, because of Process in this step S516 is skipped.
After process in step S516, step S515 determines the situation that mode candidate icon has been shown Under, in step S517, output unit 155 changes according to the inclination of input equipment and clicks mode icon and zoom mode icon Deep or light.
It is to say, user by pattern in the case of a lectotype changes to zoom mode, such as such as Fig. 7 and figure Shown in 29E to 29A, prime operation is performed and gradually changes close to upwards hanging down with the state by input equipment 11 The state of straight state.With this operation, the shading display clicking mode icon and zoom mode icon is changed, although this not by It is shown in diagram.It is to say, the icon as the some lectotype of conversion raw mode is shown by the most thin out, and contrary Icon as the zoom mode of conversion purpose pattern is shown with gradually thickening.
Along with color gradually thickens, user is it can be seen that the current operation performed is just to change to which pattern.When being shown When the icon of the candidate pattern shown is not the pattern desired by user, user can stop operation.Therefore, user can the most also Set desired pattern exactly.
After process in step S517, it is determined that in step S518, unit 154 judges upwards whether plumbness is connected Continue and have detected M time.M is equal to the basic number of times of the two or more numeral as predetermined threshold value.Even if upwards plumbness is detected Arrive, in the case of detection number of times is not up to M time, processes and still return to step S514, and process after that is repeated. It is to say, the process in some lectotype is maintained.
Even if if the most upwards releasing a some lectotype in the case of plumbness the most immediately only detecting, then with Family is put lectotype in the case of being placed in by input equipment 11 mistakenly upwards in plumbness and is released from, and therefore operability deteriorates. Therefore, only in the case of being essentially continuously M time, just release some lectotype.It is to say, with in step S25 in Fig. 6 Similarly, the time that detected state is maintained is measured for situation.
Determine in the case of upwards plumbness has been essentially continuously M time in step S518, i.e. in upwards plumbness In the case of being maintained predetermined time amount, setup unit 152 releases some lectotypes in step S519.Process then returnes to Step S502, and in step S502, setup unit 152 sets zoom mode.Hereafter, similar with process described above Process and repeated.
Noting, with the process in Fig. 6 similarly, the identical routine processed in neighbouring step in Figure 26 with Figure 27 is weighed Terminate when having answered preset times, or the most out-of-date end of predetermined time amount preset in same step.Additionally, when in operation Period user discharge pressed button, operation identified stop button, finger is removed from photoelectric type touch sensor Time, the process in Figure 26 and 27 terminates.
Icon output example 1
