[Embodiment]
(Configuration of display input device 1)
FIG. 1A is a schematic diagram inside a vehicle on which the display input device according to the embodiment is mounted, and FIG. 1B is a block diagram of the display input device. In each drawing according to the embodiment, the ratio between parts may differ from the actual ratio.

  For example, the display input device 1 can operate electronic devices such as an audio device, an air conditioner, and a navigation device mounted on the vehicle 6 and input characters. For example, as shown in FIG. 1A, the display input device 1 is disposed between a driver seat and a passenger seat, and is disposed on a center console 60 provided in a vertical direction. The arrangement of the display input device 1 is not limited to this, and may be arranged as a sub monitor such as the meter panel 62, for example.

  The display input device 1 mainly includes a display unit 14 that displays a plurality of images, a touch sensor unit 12 that is provided on the display unit 14 and outputs a detection signal based on an operation performed, and a touch. Based on a determination unit 24 that determines an operation performed based on the detection signal output from the sensor unit 12 and an operation performed by the determination unit 24 to change the arrangement of the images, at least one of the plurality of images. Based on the determination of the display image generation unit 26 that generates a display image to be displayed on the display unit 14 by changing the arrangement of the images and the first operation that is performed by the determination unit 24, the display unit 14 A function list generation unit 28 that generates a function list image assigned to the first image to be displayed, and a second operation that moves the first function image selected from the function list image performed by the determination unit 24. Based on the determination, the function information generating unit 30 that generates the function information 300 that associates the function assigned to the first function image with the second image on which the first function image is overlaid; And a control unit 32 that performs control so that an operation performed on the first image is reflected in the function assigned to the second image.

Configuration of the touch sensor unit 12 When the touch sensor unit 12 touches the detection surface 121 of the cover lens 120 with, for example, a part of the operator's body (for example, a finger) or a dedicated pen, It is a touch sensor which detects the position of. For example, the operator can operate and input the connected electronic device by operating the detection surface 121. As the touch sensor unit 12, for example, a well-known resistive film type, infrared type, SAW type, capacitance type touch panel, or the like can be used.

  For example, the touch sensor unit 12 according to the present embodiment uses, as a detection signal, a change in current that is inversely proportional to the distance between the first electrode 122 and the second electrode 123 and the finger due to the finger approaching the detection surface 121. It is a capacitive touch sensor that outputs.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 1B, the touch sensor unit 12 is schematically configured to include a cover lens 120, a first electrode 122, and a second electrode 123.

  The cover lens 120 is formed in a plate shape using, for example, PET (Polyethylene terephthalate) or glass.

  The first electrode 122 and the second electrode 123 are formed on the cover lens 120 using, for example, ITO (Indium Tin Oxide).

  For example, as shown in FIG. 1B, the first electrode 122 and the second electrode 123 are arranged along the vertical direction and the horizontal direction of the paper surface. In the present embodiment, the horizontal direction in FIG. 1B is the x axis, the vertical direction is the y axis, and the upper left of the touch sensor unit 12 is the origin.

  In the x-axis direction, for example, m second electrodes 123 are arranged at equal intervals. This m is, for example, a positive integer. For example, the second electrode 123 is connected to the touch detection unit 125, and the touch detection unit 125 sequentially connects to the second electrode 123 according to the clock signal and reads the capacitance.

  In the y-axis direction, for example, n first electrodes 122 are arranged at equal intervals. This n is, for example, a positive integer. The first electrode 122 is connected to, for example, the drive unit 124, and the drive unit 124 supplies a voltage in order according to the clock signal generated by the clock signal generation unit 36. For example, as shown in FIG. 1B, this voltage is supplied from the power source of the vehicle 6 or adjusted to a voltage necessary for the operation of the display input device 1.

  For example, the second electrodes 123 arranged in parallel to the y-axis are formed in a layer closer to the detection surface 121 than the first electrodes 122 arranged in parallel to the x-axis. Further, the first electrode 122 is electrically insulated from the second electrode 123, for example.

Here, the coordinates of the x-axis are indicated by x ₁ to x _m from the left to the right, with subscript numbers ( _{1 to m} ) added to x. The coordinates of the y-axis is denoted by the subscript numbers (1 to n) to y, from top to bottom and indicates the _y 1 ~y _n.

Specifically, the drive unit 124 is, for example, supplies a voltage in the order of the first electrode 122 of the first electrode 122～Y _n of _{y 1.} The touch detection unit 125 is configured to read out the capacitance in the order of the second electrode 123 of x ₁ to the second electrode 123 of x _m , for example.

The touch detection unit 125, for example, on the basis of the read value of the capacitance of each of the second electrode 123 (capacitance value), the coordinate values (capacitance value of x _m, the capacitance value of y _n , T) is generated and output to the sensor controller 34 as a detection signal. The time t indicates, for example, the time when the clock signal is output.

-Configuration of Display Unit 14 The display unit 14 is a known liquid crystal display such as a TFT (Thin Film Transistor) type. For example, the display unit 14 is connected to the display controller 22 of the microcomputer 20 and displays an image on the display screen 140 based on a display signal output from the display controller 22.

The configuration of the microcomputer 20 The microcomputer 20 includes, for example, a CPU that performs operations and processes on acquired data according to a program, a RAM (Random Access Memory) that is a semiconductor memory, a ROM (Read Only Memory), and the like. . For example, a program for operating the CPU is stored in the ROM. For example, the RAM is used as a storage area for temporarily storing calculation results and the like.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 1B, the microcomputer 20 includes a display controller 22, a determination unit 24, a display image generation unit 26, a function list generation unit 28, a function information generation unit 30, and a control unit. 32, a sensor controller 34, and a clock signal generation unit 36.

  For example, the display controller 22 is configured to generate a display signal based on the display image information 260 output from the display image generation unit 26 and display an image based on the display signal on the display unit 14.

  The determination unit 24 calculates, for example, the coordinates at which the finger touches or approaches from the coordinate value based on the detection signal acquired from the touch detection unit 125 of the touch sensor unit 12. As the calculation method of the coordinates, for example, a known method such as a method using a weighted average is used. Then, the determination unit 24 determines operations such as a touch operation, a tap operation, a slide operation, a gesture operation, a long press operation, a drag and drop operation, and a flick operation from the calculated time change of at least one coordinate.

  The touch operation refers to an operation of touching the detection surface 121 with a finger, for example. The tap operation indicates an operation of touching the detection surface 121 in a shorter time than the touch operation, in other words, an operation of hitting the detection surface 121. Further, by repeating the tap operation a plurality of times within a predetermined time, different functions corresponding to the number of times can be executed. For example, one tap operation corresponds to a click performed with a mouse. In addition, for example, two consecutive tap operations (double tap operations) correspond to double clicks performed with a mouse.

  The slide operation indicates, for example, an operation for moving a finger while keeping the finger in contact with the detection surface 121.

  The gesture operation indicates, for example, an operation for executing a function assigned to a shape when the locus of the finger is similar to a predetermined shape. For the determination of the gesture operation, for example, a known method such as a method using pattern matching is used.

  The long press operation is an operation that keeps touching the detection surface 121 corresponding to an image (for example, an icon) displayed on the display screen 140 for a longer time than a predetermined time. This determination of the long press operation is performed, for example, by comparing the threshold value related to the operation time stored in the microcomputer 20 or the memory 38 with the time during which the long press operation continues. For example, when the operation is performed on the icon and the time for which the operation continues exceeds a threshold value, the determination unit 24 determines that the long press operation is performed. In the following, the operation of the icon via the touch sensor unit 12 is omitted unless otherwise specified, such as “via the touch sensor unit 12”, and simply “the touch operation performed on the icon” or the like. Make a statement. For example, the display input device 1 may display an animation or an inverted display of an icon selected by the long press operation or the like.

  The long press operation is used, for example, in an operation for changing the arrangement of icons. This operation is performed by first performing a long press operation on an icon whose arrangement is to be changed, then performing a drag operation to a target position while touching the detection surface 121, and then performing a drop operation. The drag operation is a slide operation to a target position while the icon is selected, and the drop operation is an operation for canceling the selection of the icon at the target position (for example, the contact with the detection surface 121 is released). Operation). In addition, the drag and drop operation is to perform the drag operation and the drop operation continuously.

  The flick operation is an operation of flicking the detection surface 121 with a finger. This flick operation simulates, for example, an operation of turning a page of a book, and the previous and next pages are displayed according to the direction of the flick operation.

Configuration of display image generation unit 26 The display image generation unit 26 changes the arrangement of at least one of the plurality of images based on, for example, determination of an operation for changing the arrangement of the images performed by the determination unit 24. The display image to be displayed on the display unit 14 is generated. For example, the display image generation unit 26 generates display image information 260 that is information of a display image to be displayed on the display unit 14 and outputs the display image information 260 to the display controller 22. The display image information 260 includes, for example, background image information displayed on the entire display screen 140. This background image can be changed, for example, by combining several operations.

Configuration of Function List Generation Unit 28 The function list generation unit 28 displays the first image displayed on the display unit 14 based on the determination of the first operation performed by the determination unit 24 to select an image, for example. The assigned function list image is generated. The first operation for selecting this image is, for example, a long press operation. When the operator performs a long press operation on an icon assigned with a plurality of functions, the function list generation unit 28, for example, functions assigned to the icon based on the connected device information 380 stored in the memory 38. Function list information 280 that is list information is generated and output to the display controller 22. The display controller 22 generates a display signal based on the function list information 280 and causes the display unit 14 to display a display image including the function list.

  Here, as a modification of the function list generation unit 28, the functions included in the function list may be functions common to all icons. That is, when changing the arrangement of the icons, the display input device 1 may be configured to display the same function list regardless of which icon is pressed.

The configuration of the function information generation unit 30 The function information generation unit 30 is based on the determination of the second operation for moving the first function image selected from the function list image performed by the determination unit 24, for example. The function information 300 that associates the function assigned to the first function image with the second image on which the one function image is superimposed is generated. The second operation for moving the first functional image is, for example, a drag and drop operation. For example, the operator selects the first function image assigned to the selected first image and superimposes it on the second image, so that the function assigned to the first function image is assigned to the second image. Can be assigned.

  In addition, the function list generation unit 28 generates a function list image based on the second image, and the function information generation unit 30 selects the function assigned to the first function image of the selected first image, and the selection The function information 300 that associates the function assigned to the second function image of the second image thus generated is generated.

  The determination unit 24 determines a region where the first operation of the first image is performed, and the function information generation unit 30 further generates function information 300 that associates the region of the first image. Has been.

  That is, for example, the determination unit 24 determines a region where the first operation of the first image is performed, and associates this region with the function assigned to the second functional image of the second image. Information 300 is generated. For example, the function information generation unit 30 has a function of raising the value to the first area in an image in which an upward arrow image is arranged in the first area and a downward arrow image is arranged in the second area. The function information 300 in which the function of lowering the value in the second area is associated can be generated.

-Configuration of the control unit 32 The control unit 32 is configured to control, for example, the operation performed on the first image to be reflected in the function assigned to the second image based on the function information 300. Yes. Moreover, the control part 32 controls each part of the microcomputer 20, for example.

-Structure of sensor controller 34 The sensor controller 34 controls the touch sensor part 12, for example. Specifically, it is configured to control the voltage to be supplied, control the supply time, control the readout timing of the capacitance, and the like.

Configuration of Clock Signal Generation Unit 36 The clock signal generation unit 36 generates, for example, a clock signal necessary for the operation of the display input device 1 and supplies the clock signal to each unit.

Configuration of memory 38 The memory 38 is, for example, a semiconductor memory. The memory 38 stores connected device information 380. The connected device information 380 is information on an electronic device to which the display input device 1 is connected. The information on the electronic device is, for example, information on an image to be displayed on the display screen 140, information on a function assigned to the image, and the like. The memory 38 may be configured using a memory such as a ROM of the microcomputer 20, for example. When the function list displayed by the long press operation is common without depending on the electronic device, common information regarding the function list is stored.

-Configuration of Communication Unit 40 The communication unit 40 is configured to be able to communicate with a connected electronic device, for example. The connected device information 380 is stored in the memory 38 via the communication unit 40, for example. The communication unit 40 is connected to the electronic device by, for example, wired or wireless.

  Hereinafter, the operation of the display input device 1 according to the present embodiment will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

  2A (a) to 2A (c) and FIGS. 2B (d) to 2B (f) are schematic diagrams for explaining the operation of the display input device according to the present embodiment. An operation in which the operator arranges icons at arbitrary positions will be described. A display image 140a illustrated in FIG. 2A and the like indicates an image displayed on the display unit 14 presented via the touch sensor unit 12.

  As shown in FIG. 2A (a), when the operator activates a function for changing the arrangement of icons, the display input device 1 includes, as an example, an icon group 141 including icons 141a to 141d, and an icon 142a. And an icon group 142 including the icons 142d. Note that the operation of activating a function for changing the arrangement of icons is performed, for example, by selecting and determining an icon included in the display image 140a displayed after the display input device 1 is activated. This selection decision is, for example, performing a double tap operation on the corresponding icon. Further, the icons included in the icon group 141 and the icon group 142 are switches that operate an electronic device to be operated, for example. Further, as an example, the icon group 141 and the icon group 142 include icons having the same assigned functions but different designs.

  Specifically, after the function for changing the arrangement of the icons is activated, the display image generation unit 26 acquires the connected device information 380 stored in the memory 38, and displays the display image based on the connected device information 380. Information 260 is generated. The generated display image information 260 includes information of the icon group 141 and the icon group 142, is output to the display unit 14 via the display controller 22, and is displayed as the display image 140a.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 2A (b), the operator selects an icon whose arrangement is to be changed from the icon group 141 and the icon group 142, performs a drag-and-drop operation, and arranges the icon at a desired position on the display screen 140. To do. In FIG. 2A (b), as an example, a state in which the icon 141a, the icon 141d, the icon 142b, and the icon 142c are arranged at a favorite position is shown.

  Specifically, the determination unit 24 determines an operation performed based on the detection signal read from the touch detection unit 125. For example, when the determination unit 24 determines that a long press operation has been performed on the icon 141d illustrated in FIG. 2A (a) and a drag operation has been performed, the display image generation unit 26 determines that the icon 141d is associated with the movement of the finger. Display image information 260 is generated and is output to the display unit 14 via the display controller 22.

The first function list 143 includes function icons 143a to 143q to which various functions are assigned.

  Specifically, when the determination unit 24 determines that a long press operation has been performed on the icon 142c, the function list generation unit 28 generates function list information 280 of the icon 142c based on the determination result, and displays the display controller 22 on the display controller 22. To the display unit 14.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 2B (d), the operator selects, for example, a target function icon 143b (first function image) from the first function list 143 by a slide operation and a long press operation. A drag-and-drop operation is performed on the function icon 143b, and the function icon 143b is overlaid on the icon 141a (second image) to which the function is to be assigned.

  Specifically, the determination unit 24 determines a slide operation and a long press operation based on the detection signal, and further determines a drag and drop operation.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 2B (e), when the icon 141a has a plurality of functions, a second function list 144 is displayed around the icon 141a. In the second function list 144, function icons 144a to 144g to which various functions are assigned are displayed. The operator performs a slide operation, stops the finger on the target function icon 144e (second function image), and cancels the contact after the animation indicating that it is selected is displayed. By this operation, the display input device 1 can associate the function assigned to the icon 142c with the function assigned to the icon 141a.

  Specifically, when the determination unit 24 determines that the function icon 143b is superimposed on the icon 141a, the function list generation unit 28 generates function list information 280 of the icon 141a based on the determination result, and the display controller 22 Is output to the display unit 14. The display unit 14 displays a second function list 144 based on the function list information 280. Subsequently, when the determination unit 24 determines that the function icon 144e of the second function list 144 has been selected, the function information generation unit 30 assigns the function assigned to the icon 142c based on the determination result (assigned to the function icon 143b).

The switch arrangement screen 140c is, for example, a screen before or after the parts list screen 140b, and the operator switches the screen by a flick operation. When the first screen of the parts list screen 140b is displayed, the screen is switched to the switch arrangement screen 140c by a left flick operation.

  Here, the icon 145a illustrated in FIG. 3A (b) is an icon indicating, for example, from which outlet the adjusted air whose temperature has been adjusted is sent. The icon 145b is, for example, an icon that indicates the amount of adjustment air sent. The icon 145c is an icon indicating the temperature of the adjusted wind, for example. The icon 145d is an icon for increasing or decreasing the temperature of the adjusted air, for example. The icon 145e is, for example, an icon for controlling the amount of adjustment air sent. At this stage, the icons are not associated with each other.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 3A (c), when the operator performs a long press operation on the upper region 146 of the icon 145d in order to associate the upper region 146 of the icon 145d with the icon 145c, the first function A list 143 is displayed. The top, bottom, left, and right are directions with respect to the paper surface of FIG. 3A (c). When a function is to be assigned to the lower area 147 of the icon 145d, a long press operation is performed on the lower area 147 of the icon 145d.

  As an example, the function icon 143b is assigned a function of changing a value by performing an upward flick operation.

  As an example, the function icon 143c is assigned a function of changing a value by performing a one-touch down operation. This one-touch down operation is, for example, an operation detected at the moment of touching the detection surface 121. This moment is, for example, a time that is about the interval between clock signals.

  As an example, the function icon 143d is assigned a function of changing a value by performing a one-touch up operation. This one-touch up operation is, for example, an operation detected at the moment away from the detection surface 121.

  As an example, the function icon 143e is assigned a function of changing a value by operating in the right direction while tracing the detection surface 121.

  As an example, the function icon 143f is assigned a function of changing a value by performing a flick operation in the right direction.

  As an example, the function icon 143h is assigned a function of changing a value by performing a pinch-in operation. This pinch-in operation indicates, for example, an operation in which two fingers are opened and contacted with the detection surface 121 and then closed.

  As an example, the function icon 143i is assigned a function of changing the value by operating downward while tracing the detection surface 121.

  As an example, the function icon 143j is assigned a function of changing a value by performing a downward flick operation.

  As an example, the function icon 143k is assigned a function of changing a value by performing a gesture operation of drawing a circle with a finger clockwise.

  As an example, the function icon 143l is assigned a function of changing a value by performing a gesture operation for drawing a circle with a finger counterclockwise.

  As an example, the function icon 143m is assigned a function of changing a value by operating leftward while tracing the detection surface 121.

  As an example, the function icon 143n is assigned a function of changing a value by performing a flick operation in the left direction.

  As an example, the function icon 143o is assigned a function of changing a value by performing a tap operation.

  As an example, the function icon 143p is assigned a function of changing a value by performing a long press operation.

  As an example, the function icon 143q is assigned a function of changing a value by performing a double tap operation.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 3B (d), the operator selects a target function icon 143c from the first function list 143 by a slide operation and a long press operation, and drags and drops it on the selected function icon 143c. Operate and superimpose on icon 145c.

  Next, as illustrated in FIG. 3B (e), when the function icon 143c is superimposed on the icon 145c, a second function list 144 is displayed around the icon 145c. In the second function list 144, function icons 144a to 144g to which various functions are assigned are displayed.

  Here, as an example, the function icon 144a is assigned a function that turns on the associated function when an operation is performed.

  As an example, the function icon 144b is assigned a function in which an associated function is turned off when an operation is performed.

  As an example, the function icon 144c is assigned a function in which an associated function is switched between an on state and an off state each time an operation is performed.

  As an example, the function icon 144d is assigned a function whose value is increased according to an associated function.

  As an example, the function icon 144e is assigned a function in which a value corresponding to the associated function is lowered when an operation is performed.

  As an example, the function icon 144f is assigned a function of increasing the value according to the associated function when the operation is performed and returning to the lowest value when the value reaches the highest value.

  As an example, the function icon 144g is assigned a function of returning to the maximum value and decreasing the value when the value corresponding to the function associated with the function icon 144g is lowered.

  For example, when the operator performs the “one-touch down operation” assigned to the function icon 143c on the upper region 146 of the icon 145d, the operator assigns the function so that the number displayed on the icon 145c increases. A slide operation is performed to stop the finger on the target function icon 144d, and after the animation indicating that it is selected is displayed, the contact is released. By this operation, the display input device 1 can associate the function assigned to the icon 145d with the function assigned to the icon 145c.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 3B (f), when the operator performs a “one-touch down operation” on the upper region 146 of the icon 145d, the control unit 32 increases the number displayed on the icon 145c. Then, operation information for increasing the temperature of the adjustment wind is output via the communication unit 40.

  As an example, when the operator selects the function icon 143p from the first function list 143 and selects the function icon 144f from the second function list 144, a long press operation is performed on the upper area 146 of the icon 145d. Then, the control unit 32 causes the communication unit 40 to output operation information for increasing the number displayed on the icon 145c and increasing the temperature of the adjusted wind.
