  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In all the drawings, the same reference numerals are given to the same components, and the description will be omitted as appropriate.

(First embodiment)
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a terminal apparatus 10 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. The terminal device 10 includes a reading unit 102, a detection unit 104, an execution unit 106, a determination unit 108, and a control unit 110.

  The reading unit 102 receives, from a storage unit (not shown), execution processing information in which at least one piece of trajectory information is associated with processing to be executed corresponding to the trajectory information, and type information indicating the type of the user's hand. read out. Here, the type of hand is information indicating a right hand or a left hand. The storage unit may be a storage area on the terminal device 10 or an external storage medium such as an SD card. FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of the type information. The type information may be set in advance, or may be set as the type information when the process is executed once by the execution unit 106 in an unset state at first. When the dominant hand information is not set, the processing for switching the validity / invalidity of the execution unit 106 according to the type of hand described later is not performed.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of execution processing information. The trajectory information in the execution processing information can be, for example, characters, figures, relative coordinate values of contacts in a certain shape, or the like. In the execution process information, the process set corresponding to the trajectory information can be stored for any process other than the process illustrated in FIG.

  The detection unit 104 detects the movement locus of the operation article. The operation article can be, for example, a finger or a touch pen. The detection unit 104 detects the movement trajectory by detecting the proximity or contact of the screen of the operation article.

  When the movement trajectory detected by the detection unit 104 corresponds to any trajectory information in the execution process information, the execution unit 106 recognizes and executes a process to be executed associated with the trajectory information based on the execution process information.

  The determination unit 108 determines whether the type of the hand of the user holding the terminal device 10 is a right hand or a left hand. For example, the determination unit 108 may arrange a sensor on the side surface of the terminal device 10 and determine the type of hand based on information sensed by the sensor.

  The control unit 110 controls validity / invalidity of the execution unit 106 based on the hand type determined by the determination unit 108 and the type information read by the reading unit 102.

  In addition, each component of the terminal device 10 shown to each figure has shown the block of the functional unit instead of the structure of a hardware unit. Each component of the terminal device 10 is centered on an arbitrary computer CPU, memory, a program that implements the components shown in the figure loaded in the memory, a storage medium such as a hard disk for storing the program, and a network connection interface. Realized by any combination of hardware and software. There are various modifications of the implementation method and apparatus.

  The flow of processing in the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. The processing in this embodiment is divided into processing for detecting the movement trajectory of the operation article and executing processing corresponding to the movement trajectory, and processing for switching the execution unit 106 between valid / invalid.

  First, a flow of processing for detecting the movement locus of the operation article and executing processing corresponding to the movement locus will be described.

  FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing a flow of processing for detecting a movement trajectory of the operation article according to the first embodiment of the present invention and executing processing corresponding to the movement trajectory. The detection unit 104 detects the presence or absence of movement of the operation article on the screen of the terminal device 10, and acquires the movement locus (S102). The detection unit 104 transmits the acquired movement trajectory to the execution unit 106.

  The execution unit 106 confirms whether the trajectory information corresponding to the movement trajectory received from the detection unit 104 exists in the trajectory information read by the reading unit 102. If the corresponding trajectory information does not exist (NO in S104), the execution unit 106 ends without executing the subsequent processing. On the other hand, when the corresponding trajectory information exists (YES in S104), the execution unit 106 confirms the control state by the control unit 110 and determines whether the execution unit 106 itself is valid / invalid. If the execution unit 106 is valid (YES in S106), the execution unit 106 recognizes and executes the process to be executed based on the trajectory information received from the detection unit 104 (S108). The execution unit 106 executes a process by calling a program corresponding to the trajectory information stored in a storage area (not shown). On the other hand, when the execution unit 106 is invalid (NO in S106), the execution unit 106 does nothing and ends the process. For example, when there is trajectory information as shown in FIG. 3 and the movement trajectory detected by the detection unit 104 is as shown in FIG. 5, the execution unit 106 executes the process of “address book”. The method for determining which trajectory information the moving trajectory corresponds to can be performed by an arbitrary method such as pattern matching.

  The above is the process of detecting the movement locus of the operation article and executing the process corresponding to the movement locus.

  Next, processing for switching between valid / invalid of the execution unit 106 will be described. The process of switching the validity / invalidity of the execution unit 106 is executed in parallel with the process of detecting the movement locus of the operation article and executing the processing corresponding to the movement locus.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing a flow of processing for switching between valid / invalid of the execution unit 106 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. The determination unit 108 acquires the type of the hand of the user who has the terminal device 10 (S202). For example, the determination unit 108 may arrange a sensor on the side surface of the terminal device 10 and determine the type of hand based on information sensed by the sensor. An example of a technique for determination by a sensor is shown in FIG. In this example, in view of the state in which the user is generally holding the terminal device 10, as shown in FIG. 7A, when there is a lot of information sensed by the sensor on the right side, the determination unit 108 is the terminal with the user's left hand. It can be determined that the device 10 is held. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 7B, when there is a lot of information detected by the sensor on the left side, the determination unit 108 can determine that the user has the terminal device 10 with the right hand. The hand type may be determined using any other known technique. The determination unit 108 transmits the acquired hand type to the control unit 110.

  The control unit 110 switches the execution unit 106 between valid / invalid based on the type information read by the reading unit 102 and the hand type received from the determination unit 108. For example, when the user's dominant hand is set in the type information, the control unit 110 checks whether the type information read by the reading unit 102 matches the type of hand received from the determination unit 108. When the type information matches the type of the hand (YES in S204), the control unit 110 can recognize that the user is currently holding the terminal device 10 with a dominant hand. When the user has the terminal device 10 with a dominant hand, it is considered that the possibility that the user operates the terminal device 10 with an operation article is low. Therefore, when the detection unit 104 detects a movement locus in this state, there is a high possibility that the terminal device 10 is erroneously operated. Therefore, the control unit 110 invalidates the execution unit 106 (S206). On the other hand, when the type information and the type of the hand do not match (NO in S204), the control unit 110 can recognize that the user currently has the terminal device 10 with a hand opposite to the dominant hand. When the user holds the terminal device 10 with a hand opposite to the dominant hand, it is considered that the user may operate the terminal device 10 with an operation article. Therefore, the control unit 110 validates the execution unit 106 (S208).

  If the hand opposite to the user's dominant hand is set in the type information, the control unit 110 executes if the type information read by the reading unit 102 and the type of hand received from the determination unit 108 do not match. The unit 106 is invalidated. Similarly, the control unit 110 validates the execution unit 106 when the type information read by the reading unit 102 matches the type of hand received from the determination unit 108.

  The above is the process for switching the validity / invalidity of the execution unit 106.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the execution unit 106 is switched between valid / invalid according to the type of the hand of the user having the terminal device 10. With this configuration, when the user holds the terminal device 10 with a dominant hand and the possibility of operating the terminal device 10 is low, execution of processing due to an operation unintended by the user, such as when the user accidentally touches the screen, is prevented. be able to.

(Second Embodiment)
This embodiment is the same as the first embodiment except for the following points.

  FIG. 8 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the terminal device 10 according to the second embodiment of the present invention. In the present embodiment, after executing the process, the execution unit 106 transmits information indicating the association between the type of the hand determined by the determination unit 108 and the executed process to the storage unit (not shown) as type information.

  The flow of processing in this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing the flow of processing according to the second embodiment of the present invention. When there is corresponding trajectory information in S104 (YES in S104), the control unit 110 executes the control process shown in FIG. 6 (S302). In S204 of the control process in the present embodiment, first, the control unit 110 selects type information corresponding to the process that the execution unit 106 is to execute from all the type information read by the reading unit 102. Then, the control unit 110 switches between valid / invalid of the execution unit 106 as in the first embodiment, using the selected type information. FIG. 10 shows an example of type information read by the reading unit 102 in this embodiment. Here, for example, when there are a plurality of type information for the same process and different hand types are stored, such as “mail” in FIG. 10, the control unit 110 stores the hand of all type information related to the process. The type of the hand with the larger number may be adopted after confirming the type. Moreover, the control part 110 may employ | adopt the classification of the hand of the newest classification information regarding the said process. Further, the control unit 110 adopts the type of the latest type information related to the process until the process is executed a specified number of times, and after executing the specified number of times, in all the type information related to the process, You may employ | adopt the classification of the hand with the larger number.

  Further, after executing the process, the execution unit 106 acquires and associates the executed process with the hand type determined by the determination unit 108, and transmits it to the storage unit (not shown) as new type information (S304).

  As described above, also in this embodiment, the same effect as that of the first embodiment can be obtained. In the present embodiment, when the execution unit 106 executes a process, the process executed by the execution unit 106 and the hand type determined by the determination unit 108 are associated with each other and transmitted to the storage unit as new type information. . With this configuration, dominant hand information can be determined for each process, and it is possible to perform control according to the user's habit for each process, as compared to a configuration that uses constant dominant hand information.

(Third embodiment)
This embodiment is the same as the first embodiment except for the following points.

  FIG. 11 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the terminal device 10 according to the third embodiment of the present invention. The terminal device 10 further includes a display unit 112. The display unit 112 displays a lock screen for preventing malfunction of the terminal device 10. Even when the display unit 112 is displaying the lock screen, the control unit 110 switches between enabling / disabling of the execution unit 106 as in the first embodiment.

  In the present embodiment, the content of the process is the same as that of the first embodiment except that the process is executed with the screen locked, and thus the description thereof is omitted.

  As described above, also in this embodiment, the same effect as that of the first embodiment can be obtained. In the present embodiment, even if the display unit 112 displays a lock screen for preventing malfunction, the user determines the type of hand holding the terminal device 10 and switches between enabling / disabling of the execution unit 106. . With this configuration, if the user wants to execute some processing while the screen is locked, the desired processing can be executed without performing the release operation, and usability can be improved.

  Moreover, even if each structure shown in this embodiment is applied in 2nd Embodiment, the same effect can be acquired.

(Fourth embodiment)
This embodiment is the same as the third embodiment except for the following points.

  FIG. 12 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the terminal device 10 according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention. In the present embodiment, when the screen is in the locked state, the control unit 110 further changes the region in which the detection unit 104 detects the movement locus according to the validity / invalidity of the execution unit 106.

  The flow of processing in the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing a flow of processing according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention. The control unit 110 acquires information about the screen state from the display unit 112 and determines whether the screen is locked. When the screen is not locked (NO in S402), the control unit 110 ends the process without executing the process performed during the lock. On the other hand, when the screen is locked (YES in S402), the control unit 110 determines whether the execution unit 106 is valid or invalid. When the execution unit 106 is invalid (NO in S404), the coordinate value of the region used for the unlocking operation is received from the display unit 112, and the region where the detection unit 104 can detect the movement locus is Only the area used for the unlocking operation is controlled (S406). On the other hand, when the execution unit 106 is valid (YES in S404), control is performed so that the movement trajectory can be detected in a wider area than when the execution unit 106 is invalid, such as the entire screen (S408).

  FIG. 14 is a diagram illustrating an example of an area in which the detection unit 104 can detect a movement locus when the execution unit 106 is invalid. The state in which the execution unit 106 is invalid is a state in which the user is unlikely to perform any operation with the operation article as described in the previous embodiment. Therefore, when the execution unit 106 is invalid, the control unit 110 limits the region in which the detection unit 104 detects the movement locus. In FIG. 14, the control unit 110 can detect only the area used for the unlocking operation. Note that the lock screen and the unlock icon in FIG. 14 are merely examples, and can have any display and shape.

  On the other hand, FIG. 15 is a diagram illustrating an example of an area in which the detection unit 104 can detect a movement locus when the execution unit 106 is valid. The state in which the execution unit 106 is valid is a state in which the user is highly likely to perform some operation with the operation article as described in the previous embodiment. Therefore, when the execution unit 106 is valid, the control unit 110 prepares a wider area in which the detection unit 104 can detect the movement trajectory than when the execution unit 106 is invalid. In FIG. 15, the control unit 110 can detect the entire screen area. Note that the region in which the detection unit 104 can detect the movement trajectory does not necessarily need to be the entire screen. For example, an area of an arbitrary size may be prepared above the area used for the unlocking operation and set as a detectable area.

  As described above, also in this embodiment, the same effect as that of the third embodiment can be obtained. In the present embodiment, when the screen is in a locked state, the control unit 110 is configured to further change the region in which the detection unit 104 detects the movement locus in accordance with the validity / invalidity of the execution unit 106. With this configuration, in the lock screen display state, for example, when the user holds the terminal device 10 with a dominant hand and accidentally touches the screen, the execution unit 106 can be prevented from operating due to an operation not intended by the user.

(Fifth embodiment)
This embodiment is the same as the first embodiment except for the following points.

  FIG. 16 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the terminal apparatus 10 according to the fifth embodiment of the present invention. In the present embodiment, the terminal device 10 further includes a posture determination unit 114.

  A storage unit (not shown) stores posture information (hereinafter referred to as posture information) for switching the execution unit 106 between valid / invalid. 17 and 18 are diagrams illustrating examples of posture information. As the posture information, one piece of information may be set in advance in the terminal device 10 as shown in FIG. 17, or may be set in advance for each process as shown in FIG. Alternatively, the posture when the processing is once executed by the execution unit 106 may be set as posture information in an unset state at first. When the posture information is not set, the processing for switching the validity / invalidity of the execution unit 106 according to posture information described later is not performed.

  The posture determination unit 114 determines the posture in which the terminal device 10 is held. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 19, the posture determination unit 114 determines that the posture of the terminal device 10 is in a vertically long state (FIG. 19 a) or a horizontally long state (FIG. 19 b). In the present embodiment, for the sake of convenience of explanation, the terminal device 10 has only “vertically long” and “landscape”. it can.

  The processing flow in this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 20 is a flowchart showing the flow of processing according to the fifth embodiment of the present invention. The posture determination unit 114 acquires the posture information of the terminal device 10 (S502). The posture determination unit 114 can determine the posture of the terminal device 10 using a sensor such as a gyroscope, for example. The posture determination unit 114 transmits the information of the posture determined together with the type information to the control unit 110.

  The control unit 110 switches the validity / invalidity of the execution unit 106 based on the posture information read from the storage unit (not shown) and the posture received from the posture determination unit 114 along with the confirmation of the type information. For example, when the posture information is information that validates the execution unit 106, the control unit 110 checks whether the posture information read from the storage unit (not shown) matches the posture received from the posture determination unit 114. If the posture information read from the storage unit and the posture received from the posture determination unit 114 do not match (NO in S504), the user performs an intentional action to activate the execution unit 106. It can be determined that there is a low possibility of performing some processing by operating the operation article. Therefore, the control unit 110 disables the execution unit 106. On the other hand, when the posture information read from the storage unit matches the posture received from the posture determination unit 114 (YES in S504), it is determined that the user may intentionally operate the operation article and execute some processing. Therefore, the control unit 110 enables the execution unit 106 together with the confirmation result of the dominant hand information in S204. Note that the order in which the dominant hand information and the posture information are confirmed may be arbitrary.

  When the posture information is information that invalidates the execution unit 106, the control unit 110 invalidates the execution unit 106 when the posture information read from the storage unit matches the posture received from the posture determination unit 114. To. Similarly, the control unit 110 enables the execution unit 106 when the posture information read from the storage unit and the posture received from the posture determination unit 114 do not match.

  As described above, also in this embodiment, the same effect as that of the first embodiment can be obtained. In the present embodiment, a configuration is adopted in which the validity / invalidity of the execution unit 106 is determined in consideration of the attitude of the terminal device 10 when the execution unit 106 executes the process. With this configuration, the conditions for enabling the execution unit 106 can be made stricter than the configuration in which the validity / invalidity is determined only by the hand type. Therefore, it is possible to more accurately prevent the execution of the processing by the operation not intended by the user.

  In this embodiment, like the dominant hand information in the first embodiment and the second embodiment, after the execution unit 106 executes a process, the process and the posture determined by the posture determination unit 114 are associated with each other. It is good also as a structure fed back to the memory | storage part which is not shown in figure as attitude | position information. With this configuration, it becomes possible to perform finer control according to the habit of the user for each process.

(Sixth embodiment)
In the present embodiment, the validity / invalidity of the execution unit 106 is controlled only by the posture information.

  FIG. 21 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration of the terminal device 10 according to the sixth embodiment. In the present embodiment, the reading unit 102 reads only posture information as information for switching between valid / invalid of the execution unit 106 from a storage unit (not shown).

  The flow of processing in this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 22 is a flowchart showing the flow of processing according to the sixth embodiment of the present invention. The posture determination unit 114 acquires the posture information of the terminal device 10 (S602). The posture determination unit 114 can determine the posture of the terminal device 10 using a sensor such as a gyroscope, for example. The posture determination unit 114 transmits information on the determined posture to the control unit 110.

  The control unit 110 switches the execution unit 106 between valid / invalid based on the posture information read by the reading unit 102 and the posture determined by the posture determination unit 114. For example, when the posture information is information that validates the execution unit 106, the control unit 110 checks whether the posture information read from the storage unit (not shown) matches the posture received from the posture determination unit 114. When the posture information read from the storage unit and the posture received from the posture determination unit 114 do not match (NO in S604), the user takes an action that is contrary to the opportunity to activate the predetermined execution unit 106. It can be determined that the possibility of intentionally operating the operation article and executing some processing is low. Therefore, the control unit 110 invalidates the execution unit 106 (S606). On the other hand, when the posture information read from the storage unit matches the posture received from the posture determination unit 114 (YES in S604), it is determined that the user may intentionally operate the operation article and execute some processing. Therefore, the control unit 110 enables the execution unit 106 (S608).

  When the posture information is information that invalidates the execution unit 106, the control unit 110 invalidates the execution unit 106 when the posture information read from the storage unit matches the posture received from the posture determination unit 114. To. Similarly, the control unit 110 enables the execution unit 106 when the posture information read from the storage unit and the posture received from the posture determination unit 114 do not match.

  As described above, even with the configuration of the present embodiment, it is possible to prevent execution of processing due to an operation not intended by the user.

In addition, according to embodiment mentioned above, the following invention is disclosed.
