  2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, for example, in information terminal devices such as so-called smartphones and tablet terminal devices, touch panels that instruct processing on the smartphone or the like according to a position touched by a human finger or a touch pen are widely used. Generally, in a touch panel, a process associated with an operation button is executed by touching the position of, for example, an image of the operation button displayed on a display provided with the touch panel.

  On the other hand, in recent years, for example, the number of operation buttons to be displayed on the display at the same time increases due to, for example, diversification of processing, but the size of the display itself tends to be reduced due to a demand for downsizing. Therefore, in this case, a large number of downsized operation buttons are displayed on the display at a time and used for touch operations.

  However, if a touch operation is performed when a large number of operation buttons are displayed densely, for example, it is recognized that a plurality of unintended operation buttons have been touch-operated, resulting in erroneous processing unintended by the user. There is a problem that it will start.

  Therefore, as a means for solving such problems, for example, a technique disclosed in Patent Document 1 below has been proposed. In this technology, when a large number of operation buttons are crowded and a touch operation is performed on any one of the operation buttons, an enlarged screen including a plurality of operation buttons that may have been operated is displayed again. In addition, there is described a configuration in which a correct operation associated with an operation button in the enlarged screen is executed by touching the operation button again.

  However, in the technique disclosed in Patent Document 1, it is necessary to re-display the screen including the enlarged operation button and to perform another touch operation on the operation button in the re-displayed screen. A desired process cannot be executed by a touch operation. Therefore, in this case, in order to prevent erroneous processing from starting, there is a problem that unnecessary processing or operation such as redisplay of the screen or a new touch operation by the user occurs.

  Therefore, the present application has been made in view of the above problems, and an example of the problem is execution of erroneous processing by an erroneous touch operation while avoiding generation of unnecessary processing such as screen redisplay. It is an object to provide a reaction region control device and a reaction region control method capable of preventing the reaction, and a program for the reaction region control device.

  Next, the form for implementing this application is demonstrated using FIG. FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating a schematic configuration of the reaction region control apparatus according to the embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the reaction region control device S according to the embodiment includes a region setting unit 1 connected to the touch receiving unit 4 and a display connected to the display unit 3 provided with the touch receiving unit 4 on the surface. And a control means 2.

  In this configuration, the display control means 2 is display information displayed on the display means 3, and includes display information including a plurality of reaction area displays for executing processing corresponding to the touch position on the touch receiving means 4. Is displayed on the display means 3.

  Then, when the distance between the displayed reaction areas is less than the threshold distance, the area setting unit 2 corresponds to any of the reaction areas whose distance is less than the threshold distance, and is a distance between the other reaction areas. A corresponding reaction region where is equal to or greater than the threshold distance is set for the touch receiving means 4.

  As described above, according to the operation of the reaction region control apparatus S according to the embodiment, the distance between the reaction regions is the threshold distance in the display information including a plurality of reaction region displays for executing the process corresponding to the touch position. If it is less than that, a corresponding reaction region corresponding to any one of the reaction regions and having a distance from another reaction region equal to or greater than the threshold distance is set for the touch receiving unit 4. Therefore, by causing the corresponding reaction area to be touched instead of the corresponding reaction area, unnecessary processing or operations such as re-displaying display information away from the reaction area or increasing the number of operations by the user are generated. It is possible to prevent an erroneous process from being executed due to an erroneous touch across a plurality of reaction areas.

  Next, specific examples corresponding to the above-described embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. In addition, the Example demonstrated below is an Example at the time of applying embodiment with respect to the display control of the link area | region in the web page in the smart phone which is an example of a portable information terminal device.

  FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating a schematic configuration of the smartphone according to the embodiment, and FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating a link display control process in the smartphone. FIG. 4 is a front view showing a display example of the link area in the smartphone according to the embodiment, and FIG. 5 is a front view showing a display example of the link effective area in the smartphone according to the embodiment. At this time, in FIG. 2, FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, each component in the reaction region control device S for each of the component members of the example corresponding to each component member in the reaction region control device S according to the embodiment shown in FIG. The same member number as the member is used.

  In the following description, the “link area” refers to a display-displayed link area which is originally included in a display web page acquired from the outside via an external interface which will be described later and which will be described later. The “link effective area” refers to a link effective area newly created in the link display control process according to the embodiment (separately from the link area) and displayed on the display.

  As shown in FIG. 2, a smartphone SP according to an example as a reaction region control device S according to the embodiment includes a display 3 including a liquid crystal display as an example of the display unit 3 according to the embodiment, and the embodiment. Touch panel 4 as an example of touch receiving means 4 according to the above, a processing unit 10 including a CPU, a RAM (Random Access Memory) and a ROM (Read Only Memory), and a nonvolatile including an SSD (Solid State Drive) or a hard disk, for example. And an external interface 30 that exchanges data between the smartphone SP and an external network such as the Internet.

  The processing unit 10 includes an event trigger control unit 11, a display control unit 2 as an example of the display control unit 2 according to the embodiment, a threshold distance calculation unit 12, a link effective area determination unit 13, and a new link effective area. The creation unit 14 and the highlight display creation unit 15 are configured. At this time, the event trigger control unit 11, the display control unit 2, the threshold distance calculation unit 12, the link effective region determination unit 13, the new link effective region creation unit 14, and the highlight display creation unit 15 that constitute the processing unit 10 10 may be realized by using a so-called hardware logic circuit in the CPU 10, or for example, a corresponding software recorded in the recording unit 20 is read and executed by a CPU (not shown) in the processing unit 10. This may be realized. Further, as indicated by a broken line in FIG. 2, the threshold distance calculation unit 12, the link effective region determination unit 13, and the new link effective region creation unit 14 constitute an example of the region setting unit 1 according to the embodiment.

  On the other hand, display data 21, a threshold distance 22, and a link effective area coordinate 23, which will be described later, are recorded in the recording unit 20.

  In this configuration, the display control unit 2 receives, as display data 21, data for displaying a web page including a plurality of link areas on the display 3 via the external interface 30. Then, the display control unit 2 displays a desired web page (a web page including the plurality of link areas) on the display 3 using the received display data 21. The display data 21 received at this time is temporarily recorded in the recording unit 20. Further, the processing as the display control unit 2 is performed by, for example, the same method or method as the conventional one.

  On the other hand, the event trigger control unit 11 starts the link display control process based on data or a signal serving as a trigger for starting the link display control process according to the embodiment. In the case of the link display control process according to the embodiment, the trigger is, for example, a read request when a new web page read request operation is performed using, for example, the touch panel 4 or the currently displayed web. This enlargement display request corresponds to an operation for enlarging and displaying a page using the touch panel 4, for example.

  And the threshold distance calculation part 12 which concerns on an Example is based on the said display data 21 memorize | stored temporarily, The distance between the link area | regions in the web page displayed on the display 3 using the said display data 21 A threshold distance according to the embodiment is calculated. The “distance” between the link areas in this case is, for example, the distance between the closest positions among the positions on the outer edge of each adjacent link area (the same applies in the following description). The threshold distance according to the embodiment is the distance between the adjacent link effective areas displayed on the display 3 by the link display control process according to the embodiment. This is a threshold distance for displaying the link effective area as far as it is not operated. In the link display control processing according to the embodiment, the adjacent link effective area is displayed on the display 3 at a distance greater than the threshold distance, thereby preventing the erroneous operation of the link effective area itself. The threshold distance calculation unit 12 displays such a threshold distance by, for example, the resolution of the display 3 or the number of link areas simultaneously displayed on the display 3 (each of the web pages enlarged or reduced by the user's operation). The number of link areas displayed in the case is included. The same applies hereinafter).

  Next, the link effective area determination unit 13 determines whether each of the link areas included in the web page received via the external interface 30 (the (default) link area before generating the link effective area according to the embodiment). In the state displayed on the display 3, it is determined whether or not the threshold distance calculated by the threshold distance calculation unit 12 is more than the threshold distance.

  Accordingly, the new link effective area creation unit 14 newly creates a link effective area according to the embodiment corresponding to the link area determined not to be more than the threshold distance by the determination by the link effective area determination unit 13, The link effective area coordinates 23 indicating the coordinates on the display 3 of the new link effective area are recorded in the recording unit 20.

  Then, the highlight creation unit 15 sets the link valid region created by the new link valid region creation unit 14 with reference to the link valid region coordinates 23 and replaces the original link region or together with the link region. And displayed on the display 3. At this time, the highlight creation unit 15 highlights the link effective area so that it can be distinguished from the original link area. This highlighting mode will be described later with reference to FIG.

  In parallel with these processes, the recording unit 20 records the display data 21 and the link effective area coordinates 23 and also records data indicating the threshold distance calculated by the threshold distance calculation unit 12. The recording unit 20 outputs these data to the processing unit 10 in response to a request from the processing unit 10.

  Next, the link display control process according to the embodiment will be specifically described with reference to FIGS. The link display control process is mainly executed with the processing unit 10 as the center.

  In the link display control process according to the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the event trigger control unit 11 of the processing unit 10 relates to the embodiment when there is a request for reading the new web page or the enlargement display request. The link display control process is started. Then, the display control unit 2 of the processing unit 10 performs a process of updating the screen displayed on the display 3 in response to the reading request or the enlarged display request (step S1). The update process by the display control unit 2 at this time is performed using, for example, the display data 21 received through the external interface 30 and recorded in the recording unit 20. Moreover, as an example of the screen related to the update process in step S1, for example, as shown in FIG. 4, the “SP site” is displayed on the display 3 of the smartphone SP (the touch panel 4 is provided on the surface). What is displayed as a web page. In the web page illustrated in FIG. 4, it is assumed that eight link areas R1 to R8 are displayed so as to touch each boundary. At this time, for example, when the position of the touch panel 4 corresponding to the link region R3 is touched by the user, the display control unit 2 of the processing unit 10 displays the “economic” web page to which the link region R3 to be touched is linked. The display 3 is controlled so that the display changes. In the following description, when the link areas R1 to R8 are commonly described, they are simply referred to as “link areas R” as appropriate. Further, when a web page as illustrated in FIG. 4 is displayed, since each link region R1 to link region R8 is arranged so as to touch each boundary, [Problem to be Solved by the Invention] The problem described in the column will occur.

  Therefore, the threshold distance calculation unit 12 of the processing unit 10 calculates the threshold distance according to the embodiment by the above-described method based on the display data 21, and temporarily records it in the recording unit 20 (step S2).

  Next, the link effective area determination unit 13 and the new link effective area creation unit 14 of the processing unit 10 perform the process of step S4 and the process of step S5 described later on the link area in the web page currently displayed on the display 3. The process is executed for all of R1 to R8 (step S3 and step S3R). That is, the link effective area determination unit 13 determines whether each link area R1 to link area R8 currently displayed on the display 3 is more than the above threshold distance from the other link areas R in the state displayed on the display 3. Is determined respectively (step S4). For the link area R that is displayed at a distance greater than or equal to the threshold distance from the other link areas R in the determination in step S4 (step S4; YES), the process proceeds to step S6 described later.

  On the other hand, in the determination of step S4, for the link area R that is not displayed apart from the other link areas R by the threshold distance (step S4; NO), the new link effective area creation unit 14 creates a new link area R corresponding to the link area R. A valid link area is created, and the coordinates on the display 3 of the new link valid area are recorded in the recording unit 20 as the valid link area coordinates 23 (step S5). In the case illustrated in FIG. 4, since all the link areas R are in contact with each other, all the link areas R are the targets of the above step S5. In addition, in a state where the new link effective area created by the process in step S5 is displayed on the display 3, the link effective areas are separated from each other by at least the threshold distance.

  When the determination in step S4 and the processing in step S5 are executed for all the link regions R displayed on the display 3 by the processing in step S1 (step S3R), the highlight display creating unit 15 in the processing unit 10 and The display control unit 2 sets the new link effective area created by the new link effective area creation unit 14 while referring to the link effective area coordinates 23 recorded in the recording unit 20, and sets the new link effective area to the original link area. Instead, it is displayed on the display 3 together with the link area (step S6). At this time, the highlight creation unit 15 highlights the link effective area by performing display color, specific hatching processing, or the like so as to be distinguishable from the original link area. Further, the highlight creation unit 15 sets the link effective area from the original link area by changing the HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) source constituting the web page according to the embodiment, for example.

  Thereafter, the processing unit 10 ends the link display control process according to the embodiment, and proceeds to another process as the processing unit 10. For the link area R that is displayed at a distance greater than or equal to the threshold distance from the other link areas R in the determination in step S4 (see step S4; YES), the display of the link area R is continued as it is. (Step S6).

  Next, the link area R and / or the link effective area displayed on the display 3 as a result of the process of step S6 will be specifically described with reference to FIG. 5 on the premise of the web page illustrated in FIG.

  Regarding the display mode of the link area R and the link effective area in the link display control processing according to the embodiment, the distance between one link area R and another link area R or link effective area adjacent to the link area R is determined in the embodiment. It is more than the threshold distance which concerns.

  That is, as a display mode of the link area R and the link effective area, for example, as illustrated in FIG. 5A, the link effective area MR1 to the link effective area respectively corresponding to the original link area R1 to the link area R8. MR8 (hatched in FIG. 5) is displayed on the display 3 so as to be at least the threshold distance d away. In the example shown in FIG. 5A, since the original link areas R1 to R8 are also displayed together, the corresponding link effective areas MR1 to MR8 corresponding to the original link areas R1 to R8 are respectively displayed. The link areas R1 to R8 are highlighted in an identifiable manner. In the case illustrated in FIG. 5A, for example, when the position of the touch panel 4 corresponding to the link effective region MR3 is touched, the display control unit 2 of the processing unit 10 is associated with the original link region R3. Control is performed so that the display of the display 3 transitions to the “economic” web page. Furthermore, even if a position corresponding to each of the link areas R1 to R8 other than the position of the touch panel 4 corresponding to each of the link effective areas MR1 to MR8 is touched, no processing corresponding to the touch operation is executed. It will be. In the following description, when the link effective areas MR1 to MR8 are commonly described, they are simply referred to as “link effective areas MR” as appropriate.

  On the other hand, as another example in which the original link areas R and the corresponding link effective areas MR are displayed on the display 3 at the same time, for example, the case shown in FIG. Even in the case illustrated in FIG. 5B, the link effective areas MR that react to a touch on the position of the corresponding touch panel 4 are displayed apart from each other by a threshold distance d or more. , Each corresponding original link region R is highlighted in an identifiable manner.

  5A and 5B, the original link areas R and the corresponding link effective areas MR are displayed on the display 3 at the same time. In addition to this, for example, as shown in FIG. 5C, it is also possible to display only the new link effective areas MR instead of displaying the original link areas R. . In this case, for example, as shown in FIG. 5C, the same title as each corresponding original link area R is displayed together with each link effective area MR so that the correspondence relationship with each original link area R can be recognized. It is desirable to be configured to display.

  Further, in the case illustrated in FIGS. 5A to 5C, corresponding link effective areas MR are displayed at positions on the display 3 inside the original link areas R. However, other than this, for example, as shown in FIG. 6, each link effective area MR with a leader line indicating the correspondence with each original link area R can be displayed. In this case, each link effective area MR corresponding to them is displayed at a position on the display 3 outside the original link area R. Further, in this case, the correspondence relationship between the link area R and the link effective area MR may be displayed using, for example, an instruction line or an arrow in addition to the leader line illustrated in FIG.

  Furthermore, although illustration is omitted, it corresponds to only a part of characters that proofread the title of each original link region R and whose distance between adjacent link regions R is greater than or equal to the threshold distance d. The area to be used may be configured as a new link effective area MR. In this case, for example, an area corresponding to the character “d” in the title of the link area R1 is created as a new link effective area MR1, and further corresponds to the character “done” in the title of the link area R3 adjacent to the link area R1. The area to be performed (the area corresponding to the character “d”) is created as a new link effective area MR3. These “d” and “done” characters are highlighted with respect to other characters, for example, by changing the font size or the display color.

  As described above, according to the link display control process according to the embodiment, the distance between the link areas R in the web page including a plurality of display of the link areas R for executing the process corresponding to the touch position is the threshold distance. If it is less than the limit, a link effective area MR corresponding to any one of the link areas R and having a distance from another link area R equal to or greater than a threshold distance is set for the touch panel 4. Therefore, unnecessary operations or operations such as re-displaying a web page away from the link region R and increasing the number of operations by the user by performing a touch operation on the link effective region MR instead of the corresponding link region R. It is possible to prevent an erroneous process from being executed due to an erroneous touch straddling a plurality of link regions R, while avoiding the occurrence of the above.

  Further, since the link effective area MR is displayed so as to be distinguishable from the link area R to which the link effective area MR corresponds, the position to be touched is displayed more clearly, so that erroneous processing due to erroneous touch is executed. Can be further prevented.

  Further, as illustrated in FIG. 5, when a link effective area MR corresponding to the link area R and narrower than the link area R is displayed at a position on the display 3 in the link area R, an erroneous touch is performed. Execution of erroneous processing can be prevented more reliably.

  Furthermore, as illustrated in FIG. 6, the display of the link effective area MR can be recognized at the position of the display 3 outside the display of the link area R corresponding to the link effective area MR and the relationship with the link area R can be recognized. In this case, the relationship between the link effective area MR and the original link area R can be clearly recognized by the user.

  In addition, since the distance of the link area R compared with the threshold distance is the distance between the nearest points in the link areas R, even when the distance between the link areas R is short, the link area R is erroneously straddled across the link areas R. Execution of erroneous processing by touch can be effectively prevented.

  Furthermore, since the threshold distance is set based on the resolution of the display 3 or the number of link regions R displayed on the display 3 at the same time, it is more effective to execute an erroneous process due to an erroneous touch across a plurality of link regions R. Can be prevented.

  Furthermore, since the display data 21 to be displayed is a web page, it is possible to effectively prevent execution of an erroneous process in selecting a link in the web page.

  In addition, a program corresponding to the flowchart shown in FIG. 3 is recorded on a recording medium such as a flexible disk or a hard disk, or is acquired via a network such as the Internet, and is read out to a general-purpose microcomputer or the like. It is possible to cause the microcomputer or the like to function as the processing unit 10 according to the embodiment.
