The information processing apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment designates the scroll amount in the display device. As shown in the example of FIG. 1, the indicated position detection module 110, the function activation detection module 115, the activation position, and the like. Storage module 120, movement direction calculation module 125, scheduled scroll direction calculation module 130, movement amount calculation module 135, scheduled scroll amount calculation module 140, designated position transition storage module 145, stop state determination module 150, stop time measurement module 155, scroll A scheduled position display module 160 and a scroll instruction module 165 are provided. The information processing apparatus 100 adjusts the scroll amount in accordance with the movement amount and stop time of the operation from the starting point when the scroll mode according to the present embodiment is enabled.
The information processing apparatus 100 includes a display device. Examples of the display device include a liquid crystal display, a plasma display, and a projector. Hereinafter, a display device as a touch panel that receives an operation for specifying the position of the operator will be described as an example. Scrolling is generally a process of moving a display target up, down, left, and right when there is a display target that requires a display area larger than the display device. The display target (scroll target) includes, for example, a one-dimensional list, a document, a video such as a moving image, and the like. Hereinafter, a one-dimensional list expressed on the touch panel will be described as an example.

  The designated position detection module 110 is connected to the function validation detection module 115, the movement direction calculation module 125, the movement amount calculation module 135, and the designated position transition storage module 145. The designated position detection module 110 passes the designated position 111 to the function validation detection module 115, the movement direction calculation module 125, and the designated position transition storage module 145. The designated position detection module 110 receives an operation on the display device. Specifically, an instruction position when the operator operates the display device is received. Here, the designated position is a position designated by the operator. For example, in a touch panel, the position where the operator touches the touch panel using a finger, a pen, or the like corresponds to this.

The function validation detection module 115 is connected to the indicated position detection module 110 and the validation position storage module 120. The function validation detection module 115 receives the designated position 111 from the designated position detection module 110. The function validation detection module 115 validates the second operation system from the first operation system of the scroll operation when detecting an operation on a predetermined area on the display device. The first operation system of the scroll operation refers to a so-called general (normal) scroll mode. The second operation system of the scroll operation refers to a scroll mode realized by the scroll function according to the present embodiment. In order to allow the general scroll mode and the scroll mode according to the present embodiment to coexist, when an operation on a predetermined area is detected with respect to the display device, the mode shifts to the scroll mode according to the present embodiment. In this case, a general scroll mode is set. The general scroll mode may be any operation system as long as it is a scroll operation system other than the scroll mode according to the present embodiment. As a general scroll mode, for example, when an operation for moving a scroll bar slider in a scroll bar displayed at the right end, the lower end, or the like is performed in a display area (also referred to as a window) in a display device, the operation is performed. There is also an operation system that enables scrolling by moving the display symmetry.
The “operation on a predetermined area” corresponds to, for example, a touch operation on a scroll bar end or a scroll bar slider end displayed on the display device.

  The validation position storage module 120 is connected to the function validation detection module 115, the movement direction calculation module 125, and the movement amount calculation module 135. The validation position storage module 120 passes the validation position 121 to the movement direction calculation module 125 and the movement amount calculation module 135. The validation position storage module 120 stores the designated position as the validation position 121 when the validation operation to the second operation system detected by the function validation detection module 115 is performed. The activation position 121 is a starting point and is necessary for calculating the movement amount.

The movement direction calculation module 125 is connected to the designated position detection module 110, the validation position storage module 120, and the scheduled scroll direction calculation module 130. The movement direction calculation module 125 receives the designated position 111 from the designated position detection module 110 and the validation position 121 from the validation position storage module 120, and passes the movement direction 126 to the scheduled scroll direction calculation module 130. The movement direction calculation module 125 calculates the movement direction 126 based on the validation position 121 (first position) and the current designated position 111 (second position). For example, a direction (angle) from the validation position 121 toward the current designated position 111 is set as the movement direction 126. In addition, from the 1st position to the 2nd position, it may be required that the finger is not separated from the touch panel (a state where contact is detected continues). That is, the second position may be a position (current position) in contact with the first position without releasing the finger.
The scroll direction calculation module 130 is connected to the movement direction calculation module 125 and the scroll position display module 160. The expected scroll direction calculation module 130 receives the movement direction 126 from the movement direction calculation module 125 and passes the expected direction 131 to the expected scroll position display module 160. The scheduled scroll direction calculation module 130 calculates the scroll direction based on the positional relationship between the first position and the second position. Specifically, when the activation position 121 (first position) is in the vertical scroll bar area (specifically, the rightmost area), the movement direction 126 is upward (a one-dimensional list). The planned direction 131 is determined by determining whether it is a backward direction) or a downward direction (a direction in which it is a one-dimensional list). If the activation position 121 (first position) is in the horizontal scroll bar area (specifically, the lower end area), it is determined whether the movement direction 126 is the right direction or the left direction, A direction 131 is determined. Specifically, the scroll direction calculation module 130 may set the direction from the second position (current indication position 111) to the first position (validation position 121) as the scroll direction. Further, the scroll direction calculation module 130 may set the scroll direction to be the direction from the first position (validation position 121) to the second position (current indication position 111).

  The movement amount calculation module 135 is connected to the designated position detection module 110, the validation position storage module 120, and the scheduled scroll amount calculation module 140. The movement amount calculation module 135 receives the designated position 111 from the designated position detection module 110 and the validation position 121 from the validation position storage module 120, and passes the movement amount 136 to the scheduled scroll amount calculation module 140. The movement amount calculation module 135 calculates a movement amount 136 based on the validation position 121 (first position) and the current designated position 111 (second position). For example, the distance from the activation position 121 to the current designated position 111 is set as the movement amount 136. The distance here may be a linear distance, a path distance (actual movement distance required from the activation position 121 to the current designated position 111), or only in the X-axis or Y-axis direction. It may be a distance. In addition, from the 1st position to the 2nd position, it may be required that the finger is not separated from the touch panel (a state where contact is detected continues). That is, the second position may be a position (current position) in contact with the first position without releasing the finger.

The scroll amount calculation module 140 is connected to the movement amount calculation module 135, the stop time measurement module 155, and the scheduled scroll position display module 160. The scheduled scroll amount calculation module 140 receives the movement amount 136 from the movement amount calculation module 135 and the stop time 156 from the stop time measurement module 155, and passes the planned amount 141 to the scheduled scroll position display module 160. The scheduled scroll amount calculation module 140 is an operation performed after the operation from the first position where the operation for the activation is performed (validation position 121) and the first operation where the operation on the display device is performed. The scroll amount (scheduled amount 141) is calculated based on the distance to the position 2 (currently indicated position 111). Note that the scroll amount calculated here is the scheduled scroll amount at that time point before the scroll execution operation is performed. The scroll amount at the time when the scroll execution operation is performed is the determined scroll amount. Here, the scroll amount refers to the amount of movement of the portion displayed on the display device in the display target. For example, the scroll amount may be calculated by multiplying a predetermined scroll unit amount and the movement amount 136. Further, the scroll amount corresponding to the movement amount 136 may be calculated by making the total amount of the display target correspond to the length of the scroll bar. More specifically, the scroll amount per unit length is calculated by dividing the total amount of the display target by the length of the scroll bar, and the scroll amount is obtained by multiplying the movement amount 136 by the scroll amount per unit length. May be calculated.
Then, the scroll amount calculation module 140 decreases the amount of change in the scroll amount according to the time (stop time 156) during which the scroll is stopped at the second position. In accordance with the stop time 156, the change in the scheduled scroll amount with respect to the movement amount is reduced. The amount of change here corresponds to the unit amount described above. In other words, compared to before the stop, even if the indicated position 111 is changed after the stop, the amount of change is reduced. Therefore, it is switched to a fine instruction. Further, it stops seamlessly from the previous operation by stopping the designated position 111 (in the case of a touch panel, the touching finger is not moved).
Further, when the calculated scroll amount is equal to or greater than the scroll limit value, the scroll amount calculation module 140 may set the scroll amount as the limit value. This realizes the function of moving to the end of the scroll area. The scroll limit value refers to the end of the display target. For example, if the scroll amount is a value that indicates the upper area above the first area if scrolling upward, the scroll amount is lower than the last area if scrolling downward. This is when the value indicates an area. And when it becomes more than a limit value, let the predetermined amount 141 be the value of the limit value. In the above-described example, the scheduled amount 141 is a value indicating the head area if scrolling upward, and a value indicating the tail area if scrolling downward.

The designated position transition storage module 145 is connected to the designated position detection module 110 and the stop state determination module 150. The designated position transition storage module 145 receives the designated position 111 from the designated position detection module 110 and passes the designated position transition 146 to the stop state determination module 150. The designated position transition storage module 145 stores the designated position 111 detected by the designated position detection module 110 in time series. For example, you may memorize | store with the time when the indication position detection module 110 detected the indication position 111. FIG.
The stop state determination module 150 is connected to the indicated position transition storage module 145 and the stop time measurement module 155. The stop state determination module 150 receives the designated position transition 146 from the designated position transition storage module 145 and passes the designated position transition 146 to the stop time measurement module 155. The stop state determination module 150 determines the stop state from the transition of the change in the designated position 111. When the stop state is determined, the designated position transition 146 is passed to the stop time measurement module 155. The determination of whether or not the vehicle is in the stopped state is determined as the stopped state, for example, when the movement of the designated position 111 is included within a predetermined range.
The stop time measurement module 155 is connected to the scheduled scroll amount calculation module 140 and the stop state determination module 150. The stop time measurement module 155 receives the designated position transition 146 from the stop state determination module 150, and passes the stop time 156 to the scheduled scroll amount calculation module 140. The stop time measurement module 155 measures the time during which the stop has occurred at the position from the designated position transition 146.

The expected scroll position display module 160 is connected to the expected scroll direction calculation module 130, the expected scroll amount calculation module 140, and the scroll instruction module 165. The scheduled scroll position display module 160 receives the scheduled direction 131 from the scheduled scroll direction calculation module 130 and the scheduled amount 141 from the scheduled scroll amount calculation module 140. The scheduled scroll position display module 160 displays information on the scroll destination when scrolling is performed based on the scroll amount and the scroll direction before the scroll instruction module 165 executes the scroll. That is, the planned scroll position display module 160 visualizes the planned scroll position. When the display target is a one-dimensional list, for example, a list number may be displayed as in a planned movement destination display item 850 shown in FIG. 8 described later. When the display target is a document, The number of pages may be displayed. In addition, a reduced image (thumbnail) of the display content at the scroll destination may be displayed.
Further, the scheduled scroll position display module 160 performs a display indicating that the scroll direction is extended from the first position to the second position and the direction from the second position back to the first position. You may do it. Items such as a so-called elastic band or bow are displayed. That is, the elastic band is pulled or the bow string is pulled according to the amount of movement. For example, an item such as a scroll movement amount display item 830 shown in FIG. 8 to be described later or an item like a scroll movement amount display item 930 shown in FIG. 9 is displayed.
The scroll instruction module 165 is connected to the scheduled scroll position display module 160. When the scroll instruction module 165 detects a scroll execution operation, the scroll instruction module 165 executes scrolling based on the scroll amount (scheduled amount 141) and the scroll direction (scheduled direction 131). The “scroll execution operation” corresponds to, for example, releasing the finger from the second position (no contact with the second position). Of course, after the scrolling is executed, the contents of the scroll destination area are displayed on the display device, and the information about the scroll destination displayed by the scheduled scroll position display module 160 from the first position to the first position. The item in the form indicating that it has been extended to position 2 is deleted.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing an example of processing according to this embodiment. It is determined from the designated position 111 whether or not to activate the function. In the case of validation, in order to calculate the movement amount later, the designated position 111 at this time is stored. The function here is the above-described second operation system (scroll mode according to the present embodiment).
In step S <b> 202, the designated position detection module 110 detects the designated position 111.
In step S204, the function activation detection module 115 determines whether or not the function activation condition is satisfied. If satisfied, the process proceeds to step S206, and otherwise waits until it is satisfied. For example, as described above, the function enabling condition corresponds to the case where the designated position 111 is the position of the scroll bar or the end of the scroll bar slider.
In step S206, the validation position storage module 120 stores the designated position 111. The designated position 111 here is the designated position 111 when the function enabling condition is satisfied. The indicated position 111 stored here is the start position for specifying the scroll amount.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing an example of processing according to this embodiment. This is processing after the function is activated in the flowchart shown in the example of FIG.
In step S <b> 302, the designated position detection module 110 detects the designated position 111. The designated position 111 here is, for example, the designated position 111 when the finger is moved from the designated position 111 of the start position (the designated position 111 stored in step S206) without releasing the finger from the touch panel.
In step S304, the designated position transition storage module 145 stores the designated position 111. A plurality of designated positions 111 may be stored.
In step S306, the stop state determination module 150 determines whether or not the past several designated positions are within the error range, and if it is within the error range, step S399 (stop time measurement process, in the example of FIG. 4). The flow proceeds to step S302. “Past several times” refers to a predetermined number of times (may be a predetermined period) in the past direction from the current time point. The error range refers to a range in which a movement that can be determined that the finger touching the touch panel is stopped, even if the value of the designated position 111 is changed, can be determined to be stopped.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing an example of processing according to this embodiment. This is a process after the measurement of the stop time is started in the flowchart shown in the example of FIG. The stop time is measured from the transition of the indicated position. This value is reflected in the change rate (change amount) of the scheduled scroll amount with respect to the movement amount.
In step S <b> 402, the designated position detection module 110 detects the designated position 111.
In step S404, the stop time measuring module 155 determines whether or not the past several times of the designated position is within the error range. If it is within the error range, the process returns to step S402. Otherwise, the process returns to step S406. move on. The same processing as in step S306 is performed. However, when the stop is released, for example, when the movement is larger than the error range, or when the finger is separated from the touch panel, a process of calculating the stop time is performed.
In step S406, the stop time measurement module 155 calculates the stop time. Specifically, it is the difference between the time determined as No in step S404 and the time determined as Yes in step S306.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing an example of processing according to the present embodiment. This is processing after the function is activated in the flowchart shown in the example of FIG. Therefore, processing is performed in parallel with the flowcharts shown in the examples of FIGS. The scheduled scroll position is calculated from the designated position immediately after the function is activated (the designated position 111 stored in step S206), the current designated position 111, and the stop time 156, and presented to the operator. When the scroll execution condition is satisfied, the scheduled position is fixed and the scroll is executed.
In step S <b> 502, the designated position detection module 110 detects the designated position 111.
In step S504, the movement amount calculation module 135 calculates the movement amount 136.
In step S506, the movement direction calculation module 125 calculates the movement direction 126. Then, the scheduled scroll direction calculation module 130 calculates the planned direction 131 from the movement direction 126.
In step S <b> 508, the scroll amount calculation module 140 acquires the stop time 156. The scheduled scroll amount calculation module 140 calculates the scheduled amount 141 from the movement amount 136 and the stop time 156.
In step S <b> 510, the planned scroll position display module 160 calculates the planned scroll position from the planned amount 141 and the planned direction 131.
In step S512, the planned scroll position display module 160 visualizes the planned scroll position.
In step S514, the scroll instruction module 165 determines whether or not the conditions for scroll execution are satisfied. If satisfied, the process proceeds to step S516. Otherwise, the process returns to step S502.
In step S516, the scroll instruction module 165 executes scrolling.

6 to 10 are explanatory diagrams illustrating processing examples according to the present embodiment. In this example, a touch panel is adopted as a display device of the information processing apparatus 100, and an example of a one-dimensional list is shown as a display target.
FIG. 6 shows an example in which a one-dimensional list is displayed in the file list display area 610 in the display device 600. In this example, scrolling is required to display before “ListItem 4993” or after “ListItem 5000”. In addition, a scroll bar slider 620 is displayed to indicate the position of the currently displayed portion (“ListItem 4994” to “ListItem 4999”) in the entire one-dimensional list. Here, in the case of a general scroll mode, the user touches the inside of the file list display area 610 with a finger and drags in the direction in which the user wants to scroll. For example, if the user wants to display “ListItem 4993” or earlier, it can be dragged downward, and if it wants to display “ListItem 5000” or later, it can be dragged upward. For example, when “ListItem2000” is to be displayed, a plurality of drag operations are required.

FIG. 7 shows an example of the function enabling operation. For example, as an operation for enabling the function, an operation in which the finger 710 touches the scroll end region 790 at the right end of the display device 600 is shown. An operation in which the finger 710 touches the end of the scroll bar slider 620 may be an operation for enabling the function. The position of the finger 710 at the time when the function activation operation is performed is the activation position 121 stored by the activation position storage module 120.
Thereafter, an operation of moving the finger 710 without releasing it from the display device 600 is performed. For example, it may be determined that the vehicle is stopped in the range of the movement width 720 or so.

FIG. 8 shows an example of an operation specifying the scroll amount and the scroll direction after the function is activated. For example, it is assumed that the scroll direction is the upward direction and the vicinity of “ListItem 2000” is to be displayed. Further, the position of the finger 710 when the function enabling operation is performed is set as a start position 810. It is assumed that the operator moves the finger 710 from the start position 810 in the movement direction 840 and stops at the stop position 820. This is an instruction to scroll upward (in the direction from the stop position 820 to the start position 810), and the amount of movement is an amount that only moves from the current display position to “ListItem 2000”. . These are determined by the scheduled amount 141 and the scheduled direction 131 calculated by the scheduled scroll amount calculation module 140 and the scheduled scroll direction calculation module 130. Then, the scheduled scroll position display module 160 displays the scheduled movement destination display item 850a, the planned movement destination display item 850b, and the planned movement destination display item 850c from the information, and scrolls to “ListItem2000” with the current movement amount. Indicates that it is scheduled to Further, when the stop time becomes longer, the change amount of the scroll amount when moving from the stop position (the change amount of the scroll amount with respect to the movement distance of the finger 710) becomes smaller than the change amount before the stop. This is the amount by which the scroll amount calculation module 140 decreases the change amount according to the stop time 156. Therefore, the operator can specify a large scroll amount before stopping, and can perform an operation to finely adjust the scroll amount after stopping.
