　以下、本発明の実施の形態について、図面を参照して説明する。 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
（実施の形態１）
　図１および図２を参照して、本実施の形態に係る携帯電話機１について説明する。 (Embodiment 1)
A mobile phone 1 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.
　図１は、情報端末として用いられる携帯電話機１の正面図である。携帯電話機１は、スライド式であり、矩形の板状の２つの筐体１０、１１で構成される。 FIG. 1 is a front view of a mobile phone 1 used as an information terminal. The mobile phone 1 is a slide type and includes two casings 10 and 11 each having a rectangular plate shape.
　筐体１０の外面には、表示部１０１が一体に設けられた第２操作部としてのタッチパネル１０２と、音声を出力するスピーカ３３と、が設けられている。筐体１１の外面には、音声を集音するマイクロフォン３４が設けられる。筐体１１の外面と筐体１０の下部とには、第１操作部としてのキー入力部１０４が設けられている。 On the outer surface of the housing 10, a touch panel 102 as a second operation unit integrally provided with a display unit 101 and a speaker 33 that outputs sound are provided. A microphone 34 that collects sound is provided on the outer surface of the housing 11. A key input unit 104 as a first operation unit is provided on the outer surface of the housing 11 and the lower part of the housing 10.
　タッチパネル１０２、スピーカ３３、およびマイクロフォン３４は、外部に露出されており、ユーザは表示部１０１の画面を視認しながら、携帯電話機１を用いて通話を行うことができる。 The touch panel 102, the speaker 33, and the microphone 34 are exposed to the outside, and the user can make a call using the mobile phone 1 while viewing the screen of the display unit 101.
　図２は、携帯電話機１の概略構成を示すブロック図である。携帯電話機１では、主制御部３０、電源回路部３１、表示制御部１０３、音声制御部３５、通信制御部３６、第１記憶部３７、及び情報記録媒体３８がバスによって相互に通信可能に接続されて構成されている。 FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of the mobile phone 1. In the mobile phone 1, the main control unit 30, the power supply circuit unit 31, the display control unit 103, the audio control unit 35, the communication control unit 36, the first storage unit 37, and the information recording medium 38 are connected to be communicable with each other via a bus. Has been configured.
　電源回路部３１は、電力供給源（バッテリ等）を備え、表示部１０１上に表示された操作キーを介した入力に基づいて、携帯電話機１の電源のＯＮ／ＯＦＦ状態を切り替える。電源がＯＮ状態の場合、電源回路部３１は、電力供給源から各部に電力を供給して、携帯電話機１を動作可能にする。 The power supply circuit unit 31 includes a power supply source (battery or the like), and switches the power supply ON / OFF state of the mobile phone 1 based on an input via an operation key displayed on the display unit 101. When the power supply is in the ON state, the power supply circuit unit 31 supplies power to each unit from the power supply source, thereby enabling the mobile phone 1 to operate.
　表示制御部１０３は、主制御部３０の制御に基づいて、各種の機能を実行するアプリケーション等の画面を表示部１０１に表示する。なお、アプリケーション自体も機能のひとつである。 The display control unit 103 displays a screen of an application or the like that executes various functions on the display unit 101 based on the control of the main control unit 30. Note that the application itself is one of the functions.
　また、表示制御部１０３は、タッチパネル１０２が物体の接触を検知すると、その接触があった位置座標を取得して主制御部３０に伝送する。例えば、ユーザの指がタッチパネル１０２に接触したまま任意の方向へなぞると、表示制御部１０３は、なぞった始点と終点の接触位置座標を取得し主制御部３０に伝送する。 Further, when the touch panel 102 detects the contact of the object, the display control unit 103 acquires the position coordinates where the contact has occurred and transmits the position coordinates to the main control unit 30. For example, when the user's finger traces in any direction while touching the touch panel 102, the display control unit 103 acquires the contact position coordinates of the traced start point and end point and transmits them to the main control unit 30.
　また、表示制御部１０３は、タッチパネル１０２に接触していた物体が離れると、接触時に取得した位置座標を消去する。 In addition, when the object that has been in contact with the touch panel 102 leaves, the display control unit 103 deletes the position coordinates acquired at the time of contact.
　タッチパネル１０２の接触入力が行われた場合に、表示部１０１にデータを表示する時、または通信が行われる時に、表示制御部１０３はタッチパネル１０２の照明を点灯させる。また、タッチパネル１０２からの入力が無く、通信も行われずに、所定時間を経過すると、表示制御部１０３は表示部１０１の照明を消灯し、タッチパネル１０２からの入力操作を無効にし、次に入力操作があるまで携帯電話機１の機能をスリープさせる。 When the touch input of the touch panel 102 is performed, the display control unit 103 turns on the illumination of the touch panel 102 when data is displayed on the display unit 101 or when communication is performed. In addition, when there is no input from the touch panel 102 and no communication is performed and a predetermined time elapses, the display control unit 103 turns off the illumination of the display unit 101, invalidates the input operation from the touch panel 102, and then performs the input operation. The function of the mobile phone 1 is set to sleep until there is.
　音声制御部３５は、主制御部３０の制御に基づいて、マイクロフォン３４で集音された音声からアナログ音声信号を生成し、このアナログ音声信号をデジタル音声信号に変換する。また、音声制御部３５は、主制御部３０の制御に基づいて、このデジタル音声信号をアナログ音声信号に変換し、スピーカ３３が音声として出力する。 The sound control unit 35 generates an analog sound signal from the sound collected by the microphone 34 based on the control of the main control unit 30, and converts the analog sound signal into a digital sound signal. Further, the sound control unit 35 converts the digital sound signal into an analog sound signal based on the control of the main control unit 30, and the speaker 33 outputs the sound as sound.
　通信制御部３６は、主制御部３０の制御に基づいて、基地局からアンテナ３６Ａを介して受信した受信信号をスペクトラム逆拡散処理してデータを復号化する。このデータは、主制御部３０の指示により、音声制御部３５に伝送されてスピーカ３３から出力されたり、表示制御部１０３に伝送されて表示部１０１に表示されたり、または第１記憶部３７に記録されたりする。 Based on the control of the main control unit 30, the communication control unit 36 performs spectrum despreading processing on the received signal received from the base station via the antenna 36A and decodes the data. This data is transmitted to the sound control unit 35 and output from the speaker 33 according to an instruction from the main control unit 30, transmitted to the display control unit 103 and displayed on the display unit 101, or stored in the first storage unit 37. It is recorded.
　また通信制御部３６は、主制御部３０の制御に基づいて、マイクロフォン３４で集音された音声データや、タッチパネル１０２を介して入力されたデータや第１記憶部３７に記録されたデータを取得すると、これらのデータに対してスペクトラム拡散処理を行い、基地局に対してアンテナ３６Ａを介して送信する。 In addition, the communication control unit 36 acquires audio data collected by the microphone 34, data input via the touch panel 102, and data recorded in the first storage unit 37 based on the control of the main control unit 30. Then, a spread spectrum process is performed on these data, and the data is transmitted to the base station via the antenna 36A.
　第１記憶部３７は、主制御部３０や通信制御部３６などのワーク領域となるもので、その機能はＲＡＭ（Ｒａｎｄｏｍ　Ａｃｃｅｓｓ　Ｍｅｍｏｒｙ）などにより実現できる。 The first storage unit 37 serves as a work area for the main control unit 30 and the communication control unit 36, and its function can be realized by a RAM (Random Access Memory) or the like.
　情報記録媒体３８は、プログラムやデータなどを格納するものであり、その機能は、ハードディスク、或いはメモリ（ＲＯＭ：Ｒｅａｄ　Ｏｎｌｙ　Ｍｅｍｏｒｙ）などにより実現できる。情報記録媒体３８は、本実施の形態の各部としてコンピュータを機能させるためのプログラム（各部の処理をコンピュータに実行させるためのプログラム）、及び複数のアプリケーション等を記憶する。 The information recording medium 38 stores programs, data, and the like, and the function can be realized by a hard disk, a memory (ROM: Read Only Memory), or the like. The information recording medium 38 stores a program for causing a computer to function as each unit of the present embodiment (a program for causing a computer to execute processing of each unit), a plurality of applications, and the like.
　主制御部３０は、ＣＰＵ（Ｃｅｎｔｒａｌ　Ｐｒｏｃｅｓｓｉｎｇ　Ｕｎｉｔ）を具備する。主制御部３０は、携帯電話機１の総括的な制御を行うとともに、その他の様々な演算処理や制御処理などを行う。主制御部３０の機能は各種プロセッサ（ＣＰＵ、ＤＳＰ等）、又はＡＳＩＣ（ゲートアレイ等）などのハードウェアや、プログラムにより実現できる。主制御部３０は、情報記録媒体３８に格納されたプログラム（データ）に基づいて本実施の形態の種々の処理を行う。 The main control unit 30 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit). The main control unit 30 performs overall control of the mobile phone 1 and performs various other arithmetic processing and control processing. The function of the main control unit 30 can be realized by hardware such as various processors (CPU, DSP, etc.) or ASIC (gate array, etc.), and programs. The main control unit 30 performs various processes of the present embodiment based on a program (data) stored in the information recording medium 38.
　主制御部３０が、情報記録媒体３８に格納されている任意のアプリケーションを起動した際、主制御部３０は、タッチパネル１０２への接触により表示制御部１０３から伝送される所定の処理操作を行うようアプリケーションを動作させる。 When the main control unit 30 starts an arbitrary application stored in the information recording medium 38, the main control unit 30 performs a predetermined processing operation transmitted from the display control unit 103 by touching the touch panel 102. Run the application.
　図３、４を参照して、携帯電話機１における表示部１０１の画面仕様に切り替えについて説明する。図３は表示部１０１の画面仕様切り替えに係る機能ブロック図である。
　なお、本実施の形態では、携帯電話機１における表示部１０１の画面仕様に切り替えを例にとって説明するが、携帯電話機１に限らず、少なくとも複数の入力デバイスを備える電子機器であれば適用可能である。 Switching to the screen specification of the display unit 101 in the mobile phone 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 3 is a functional block diagram relating to screen specification switching of the display unit 101.
Note that in this embodiment, switching to the screen specification of the display unit 101 in the mobile phone 1 will be described as an example. However, the present invention is not limited to the mobile phone 1 and can be applied to any electronic device including at least a plurality of input devices. .
　キー入力部１０４は、表示部１０１に表示された所定のオブジェクトに対するユーザからの入力動作（ユーザジェスチャ）を受け付けて、その入力動作に係る操作情報を表示制御部１０３に出力する。キー入力部１０４は、第１操作部として機能する。 The key input unit 104 receives an input operation (user gesture) from a user for a predetermined object displayed on the display unit 101, and outputs operation information related to the input operation to the display control unit 103. The key input unit 104 functions as a first operation unit.
　タッチパネル１０２は、内蔵するセンサによって、表示部１０１に表示された所定のオブジェクトに対するユーザからの入力動作（ユーザジェスチャ）を受け付け、その入力動作に係る操作情報を表示制御部１０３に出力する。例えば、タッチパネル１０２上の指の接触を感知し、その検出結果を表示制御部１０３に出力する。タッチパネル１０２は、第２操作部として機能する。 The touch panel 102 receives an input operation (user gesture) from a user for a predetermined object displayed on the display unit 101 by a built-in sensor, and outputs operation information related to the input operation to the display control unit 103. For example, the touch of the finger on the touch panel 102 is sensed, and the detection result is output to the display control unit 103. The touch panel 102 functions as a second operation unit.
　なお、タッチパネル１０２は、容量性、抵抗性、赤外線、及び弾性表面波技術、並びにその他の近接センサアレイ、又は、タッチパネル１０２と接触点を決定するための複数のタッチセンシティビティ技術を用いて、タッチパネル１０２上の接触及び接触による任意の動き又はその動きの中断を検出することができる。 The touch panel 102 is a touch panel that uses capacitive, resistive, infrared, and surface acoustic wave technologies, and other proximity sensor arrays, or a plurality of touch sensitivity technologies for determining touch points with the touch panel 102. Any contact on 102 and any movement due to contact or interruption of that movement can be detected.
　表示部１０１は、タッチパネル１０２に一体的に備えられており、出力インタフェースとして、視覚的な出力をユーザに表示する。この視覚的な出力は、テキスト、グラフィック、ビデオ、及びこれらの任意の組合せを含むことができる。 The display unit 101 is provided integrally with the touch panel 102 and displays a visual output to the user as an output interface. This visual output can include text, graphics, video, and any combination thereof.
　表示制御部１０３は、第１操作部として機能するキー入力部１０４又は第２操作部として機能するタッチパネル１０２から入力される操作情報に基づき、起動される機能の表示画面を、記憶部１０５に保持された画面仕様に変更して、表示部１０１に表示する。 The display control unit 103 holds a display screen of a function to be activated in the storage unit 105 based on operation information input from the key input unit 104 functioning as the first operation unit or the touch panel 102 functioning as the second operation unit. The screen specifications are changed and displayed on the display unit 101.
　本実施の形態では、表示制御部１０３が表示画面を変更して起動する機能とは、アプリケーションに限らず、タッチパネル１０２と一体に設けられた表示部１０１の表示画面の表示仕様（輝度、コントラスト、配置、配色）自体の変更、メール、ブラウザなどの各種アプリケーションの表示画面の表示仕様などの変更や、表示画面内の各種オブジェクトの表示仕様の変更なども含まれるとする。更には、これらの変更の組み合わせも表示制御部１０３が表示画面を変更して起動する機能に含まれるとする。 In the present embodiment, the function that the display control unit 103 activates by changing the display screen is not limited to the application, but the display specifications (brightness, contrast, and display) of the display unit 101 provided integrally with the touch panel 102. This includes changes in the display and display specifications of various applications such as e-mail and browser, changes in the display specifications of various objects in the display screen, and the like. Furthermore, it is assumed that the combination of these changes is also included in the function that the display control unit 103 starts by changing the display screen.
　記憶部１０５が保持する表示部１０１の複数の画面仕様は、後述するように各種機能を実行するアプリケーション（例えば、メール、ブラウザ、音楽プレイヤー）と、そのアプリケーションを実行した操作情報に基づいた複数の画面の設定情報である。なお、アプリケーション自体も機能のひとつである。 A plurality of screen specifications of the display unit 101 held by the storage unit 105 includes an application (for example, mail, a browser, a music player) that executes various functions and a plurality of operations based on operation information for executing the application, as will be described later. This is screen setting information. Note that the application itself is one of the functions.
　また、記憶部１０５には、上述のように、タッチパネル１０２と一体に設けられた表示部１０１の表示画面の表示仕様（輝度、コントラスト、配置、配色）自体の変更、メール、ブラウザなどの各種アプリケーションの表示画面の表示仕様などの変更や、表示画面内の各種オブジェクトの表示仕様の変更などの各種画面の設定情報も含まれる。 Further, as described above, the storage unit 105 includes various applications such as a change in display specifications (brightness, contrast, arrangement, color scheme) of the display screen of the display unit 101 provided integrally with the touch panel 102, mail, a browser, and the like. Also included are various screen setting information such as changes in the display specifications of the display screen and changes in the display specifications of various objects in the display screen.
　表示制御部１０３は、表示部１０１の画面仕様を表示部１０１に表示する際には、図４に示す判別基準を参照して、記憶部１０５に保持されている表示部１０１の複数の画面仕様を用いて、表示部１０１の画面仕様を切り替える。図４は画面仕様切り替えの判別基準を示す図である。なお、図４に示す機能Ｘ，Ｙは同一の機能であっても良いし、異なる機能であっても良い。 When the display control unit 103 displays the screen specifications of the display unit 101 on the display unit 101, the display control unit 103 refers to the discrimination criteria shown in FIG. 4 and stores a plurality of screen specifications of the display unit 101 held in the storage unit 105. Is used to switch the screen specifications of the display unit 101. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing criteria for switching screen specifications. Note that the functions X and Y shown in FIG. 4 may be the same function or different functions.
　また、表示制御部１０３は、表示部１０１の画面仕様を表示部１０１に表示する際には、内蔵するタイマ等により、タッチパネル１０２での機能起動時のタッチパネル入力操作の速度を参照することができる。また、表示制御部１０３は、表示部１０１の画面仕様を表示部１０１に表示する際には、タッチパネル１０２からの操作情報により、タッチパネル１０２の入力操作の操作方向、タッチパネル１０２の入力操作の操作回数を参照することができる。 Further, when displaying the screen specifications of the display unit 101 on the display unit 101, the display control unit 103 can refer to the speed of the touch panel input operation when the function is activated on the touch panel 102 by using a built-in timer or the like. . Further, when displaying the screen specifications of the display unit 101 on the display unit 101, the display control unit 103 uses the operation information from the touch panel 102 to determine the input operation direction of the touch panel 102 and the number of input operations of the touch panel 102. Can be referred to.
　同様に、表示制御部１０３は、キー入力部１０４からの操作情報により、表示部１０１の画面仕様を表示部１０１に表示する際には、機能起動時のキー入力操作の速度キー入力操作の操作方向、及びキー入力操作の操作回数などを参照することができる。 Similarly, when displaying the screen specification of the display unit 101 on the display unit 101 based on the operation information from the key input unit 104, the display control unit 103 operates the speed key input operation of the key input operation at the time of function activation. The direction and the number of key input operations can be referred to.
　起動する機能の切り替え基準１は、機能起動時の入力デバイスの種別であり、起動する機能の分類は画面レイアウトである。このとき起動され得る機能Ｘには、小さいオブジェクトを用いたレイアウトを画面仕様に用い、機能Ｙには大きいオブジェクトを用いたレイアウトを画面仕様に用いる。例えば、ある機能（機能Ｘ，Ｙが同一の場合）をタッチパネル操作で起動した場合に、大きいオブジェクトを用いたレイアウトを画面仕様に用いれば、機能起動後も、起動時と同じ入力デバイス（タッチパネル１０２）で操作がしやすい画面仕様になる。つまり、起動時の入力デバイスと同一の入力デバイスで、起動後も機能を実行することができる。 Activating function switching criterion 1 is the type of input device at the time of function activation, and the classification of the function to be activated is a screen layout. For the function X that can be activated at this time, a layout using a small object is used for the screen specification, and for the function Y, a layout using a large object is used for the screen specification. For example, when a certain function (when functions X and Y are the same) is activated by touch panel operation, if a layout using a large object is used for the screen specifications, the same input device (touch panel 102) as that at the time of activation is used even after the function is activated. ) Makes the screen specifications easy to operate. That is, the function can be executed even after the start-up with the same input device as the start-up input device.
　起動する機能の切り替え基準２は、機能起動時の入力デバイスの操作速度（１）であり、起動する機能の分類はフォントサイズである。このとき起動され得る機能Ｘには、小さいフォントを用いた画面仕様を用い、機能Ｙには大きいフォントを用いた画面仕様を用いる。例えば、ある機能（機能Ｘ，Ｙが同一の場合）を遅いタッチパネル操作で起動した場合には、大きいフォントを用いた画面仕様を用いれば、高齢者など通常のフォントサイズでは見えにくいユーザでも、起動後の入力デバイスの操作をし易くなる。 Activating function switching criterion 2 is the operation speed (1) of the input device at the time of function activation, and the function classification to be activated is font size. A screen specification using a small font is used for the function X that can be activated at this time, and a screen specification using a large font is used for the function Y. For example, when a certain function (when functions X and Y are the same) is activated by a slow touch panel operation, even a user who is difficult to see with a normal font size, such as the elderly, can be activated if a screen specification using a large font is used. It becomes easy to operate the input device later.
　起動する機能の切り替え基準３は、機能起動時の入力デバイスの操作速度（２）であり、起動する機能の分類はメニュー体系である。このとき起動され得る機能Ｘには、通常メニューを用いたレイアウトを画面仕様に用い、機能Ｙには簡易メニューを用いたレイアウトを画面仕様に用いる。例えば、ある機能（機能Ｘ，Ｙが同一の場合）を遅いタッチパネル操作で起動した場合には、簡易メニューを用いたレイアウトを画面仕様に用いれば、初心者にも使いやすいユーザインターフェースを提供することができる。 Activating function switching criterion 3 is the operation speed (2) of the input device at the time of function activation, and the function classification to be activated is a menu system. For the function X that can be activated at this time, the layout using the normal menu is used for the screen specification, and for the function Y, the layout using the simple menu is used for the screen specification. For example, when a certain function (when functions X and Y are the same) is activated by a slow touch panel operation, a user interface that is easy to use even for beginners can be provided by using a layout using a simple menu for screen specifications. it can.
　起動する機能の切り替え基準４は、機能起動時の入力デバイスの操作速度（３）であり、起動する機能の分類は配色である。このとき起動され得る機能Ｘには、配色に制約のない画面仕様に用い、機能Ｙにはコントラストの高い配色の画面仕様に用いる。例えば、ある機能（機能Ｘ，Ｙが同一の場合）を遅いタッチパネル操作で起動した場合には、コントラストの高い配色を画面仕様に用いれば、高齢者など通常のコントラストの画面が見にくいユーザでも、起動後の入力デバイスの操作をし易くなる。 Activating function switching criterion 4 is the operation speed (3) of the input device at the time of function activation, and the classification of the function to be activated is a color scheme. The function X that can be activated at this time is used for screen specifications with no restrictions on the color scheme, and the function Y is used for screen specifications with a high contrast color scheme. For example, when a certain function (when functions X and Y are the same) is activated by a slow touch panel operation, using a high-contrast color scheme for screen specifications, even for users who are difficult to see normal contrast screens such as the elderly It becomes easy to operate the input device later.
　起動する機能の切り替え基準５は、機能起動時の入力デバイスの操作速度（４）であり、起動する機能の分類は輝度である。このとき起動され得る機能Ｘには、通常の輝度による画面仕様に用い、機能Ｙには、通常の輝度よりも高い輝度による画面仕様に用いる。 The function switching criterion 5 to be activated is the operation speed (4) of the input device at the time of function activation, and the classification of the function to be activated is luminance. The function X that can be activated at this time is used for screen specifications with normal luminance, and the function Y is used for screen specifications with higher luminance than normal luminance.
　起動する機能の切り替え基準６は、機能起動時の入力デバイスの操作回数であり、起動する機能の分類は機能である。例えば、機能起動時の入力デバイスの操作回数が、1回のタッチパネル１０２のタッチ操作であれば、機能Ｘを実行し、機能起動時の入力デバイスの操作回数が、２回のタッチパネル１０２のタッチ操作であれば、機能Ｙを実行する。 Activating function switching criterion 6 is the number of operations of the input device at the time of function activation, and the function classification to be activated is a function. For example, if the number of operations of the input device at the time of function activation is one touch operation on the touch panel 102, the function X is executed, and the number of operations of the input device at the time of function activation is two touch operations on the touch panel 102. If so, the function Y is executed.
　起動する機能の切り替え基準７は、機能起動時の入力デバイスの操作方向（１）であり、起動する機能の分類は機能である。例えば、機能起動時の入力デバイスの操作方向が上方向であれば、機能Ｘを実行し、機能起動時の入力デバイスの操作方向が下方向であれば、機能Ｙを実行する。なお、機能Ｘ，Ｙには、起動時の入力デバイスの操作方向からユーザが類推しやすい機能をあらかじめ割り当てる。例えば、機能起動時の入力デバイスの操作方向が上方向ならば、起動する機能Ｘとしてアップロードする機能を割り当て、機能起動時の入力デバイスの操作方向が下方向ならば、起動する機能Ｙとしてダウロードする機能を割り当てる。 Activating function switching criterion 7 is the operation direction (1) of the input device at the time of function activation, and the function classification to be activated is a function. For example, if the operation direction of the input device at the time of function activation is upward, the function X is executed. If the operation direction of the input device at the time of function activation is downward, the function Y is executed. It should be noted that the functions X and Y are assigned in advance functions that are easy for the user to infer from the operation direction of the input device at the time of activation. For example, if the operation direction of the input device at the time of function activation is upward, an upload function is assigned as function X to be activated. If the operation direction of the input device at the time of function activation is downward, it is downloaded as function Y to be activated. Assign functions.
　起動する機能の切り替え基準８は、機能起動時の入力デバイスの操作方向（２）であり、起動する機能の分類は画面レイアウトである。例えば、機能起動時の入力デバイスの操作方向が上下方向であれば、機能Ｘを実行して縦長の画面レイアウトを画面仕様に用い、機能起動時の入力デバイスの操作方向が左右方向であれば、機能Ｙを実行して横長の画面レイアウトを用いる。このようにすれば、起動時の入力デバイスの操作方向と、起動後の画面レイアウトの方向が一致するので、起動後のタッチパネル操作がし易くなる。 Activating function switching criterion 8 is the operation direction (2) of the input device at the time of function activation, and the function classification to be activated is a screen layout. For example, if the operation direction of the input device at the time of function activation is the vertical direction, the function X is executed to use the vertically long screen layout for the screen specifications, and if the operation direction of the input device at the time of function activation is the left-right direction, Function Y is executed to use a horizontally long screen layout. In this way, the operation direction of the input device at the time of activation coincides with the direction of the screen layout after activation, so that the touch panel operation after activation becomes easy.

In the normal application selection screen, the application buttons F1 to F3 that are objects are displayed smaller than the display screen shown in FIG. 6B, and the characters that are objects in the application buttons F1 to F3 are also displayed in FIG. 6B. The display screen is smaller than the display screen shown in FIG.
　図６（ａ）～（ｃ）を参照して説明したように、本実施の形態に係る携帯電話機１は、機能を実行するための入力デバイス（本図では、タッチパネル１０２）の操作速度に応じて、画面仕様を適切に切り替えることができる。そのため、本実施の形態に係る携帯電話機１は、ユーザの操作速度の習熟度やユーザの年齢に適した画面仕様に切り替えることができる。 As described with reference to FIGS. 6A to 6C, the mobile phone 1 according to the present embodiment corresponds to the operation speed of the input device (in this figure, the touch panel 102) for executing the function. The screen specifications can be switched appropriately. Therefore, the mobile phone 1 according to the present embodiment can be switched to a screen specification suitable for the user's operating speed proficiency and the user's age.
　なお、特に、高齢者向けの表示画面（図６（ｂ）参照）に切り替える場合には、表示画面内のオブジェクトの大きさを変更する以外に、たとえば、表示画面内のオブジェクトの配色を、通常の表示画面（図６（ｃ）参照）よりもコントラストのある配色に変更しても良い。また、表示画面内のオブジェクトの輝度を、通常の表示画面（図６（ｃ）参照）よりも高い輝度に変更しても良い。 In particular, when switching to a display screen for elderly people (see FIG. 6B), in addition to changing the size of the object on the display screen, for example, the color scheme of the object on the display screen is usually changed. The display screen (see FIG. 6C) may be changed to a color scheme having a contrast. Further, the brightness of the object in the display screen may be changed to a brightness higher than that of the normal display screen (see FIG. 6C).
　さらに、大きいオブジェクトの表示変更、コントラストの高い配色での表示変更、および輝度の高い表示への変更を同時に組みわせて、高齢者向けの表示画面（図６（ｂ）参照）として表示しても良い。 Furthermore, a display change screen for an elderly person (see FIG. 6B) may be displayed by combining a display change of a large object, a display change with a color scheme with high contrast, and a change to a display with high brightness at the same time. good.
　なお、入力操作の速度に応じて、画面仕様を切り替える例を説明したが、入力速度以外にも、機能実行時の入力デバイス（タッチパネル１０２）の入力操作回数（シングルタップ又はダブルタップ）、機能実行時の入力デバイスの入力操作方向（上下方向、左右方向）に応じて、画面仕様を切り替えても良い。 In addition, although the example which switches a screen specification according to the speed of input operation was demonstrated, the input operation frequency (single tap or double tap) of the input device (touch panel 102) at the time of function execution other than input speed, function execution The screen specification may be switched according to the input operation direction (vertical direction, horizontal direction) of the input device at the time.
　また、機能実行時の入力デバイスの入力操作方向に応じて、画面仕様を切り替える場合には、この入力操作方向からユーザが類推しやすい機能を容易に想起できるように、あらかじめ割り当てても良い。例えば、機能起動時の入力デバイスの操作方向が上方向ならば、起動する機能Ｘとしてアップロードする機能を割り当て、機能起動時の入力デバイスの操作方向が下方向ならば、起動する機能Ｙとしてダウンロードする機能を割り当てる。また、機能実行時の入力デバイスの入力操作方向に応じて、画面仕様を切り替える場合には、この入力操作方向からユーザが表示画面の長手方向を容易に想起できるように、表示画面の表示方向に切り替えても良い。例えば、機能実行時のタッチパネルの入力操作が上下方向の場合には、表示制御部１０３により表示画面が縦長方向に切り替えられ、機能実行時のタッチパネルの入力操作が左右方向の場合には、表示制御部１０３により表示画面が横長方向に切り替えられる。 Also, when the screen specifications are switched according to the input operation direction of the input device at the time of executing the function, it may be assigned in advance so that the user can easily recall the function that can be easily guessed from this input operation direction. For example, if the operation direction of the input device at the time of function activation is upward, an upload function is assigned as function X to be activated, and if the operation direction of the input device at the time of function activation is downward, it is downloaded as function Y to be activated. Assign functions. In addition, when switching screen specifications according to the input operation direction of the input device during function execution, the display screen display direction is set so that the user can easily recall the longitudinal direction of the display screen from this input operation direction. You may switch. For example, when the input operation of the touch panel at the time of executing the function is in the vertical direction, the display control unit 103 switches the display screen in the vertical direction, and when the input operation of the touch panel at the time of executing the function is in the horizontal direction, the display control is performed. The display screen is switched in the landscape direction by the unit 103.
　図７を参照して、本実施の形態に係る表示部１０１の表示画面の切り替え制御のフロー図を示す。
　タッチパネル１０２又はキー入力部１０４は、ユーザからの入力動作（ユーザジェスチャ）を受け付け（ステップＳＴ７０１）、その入力動作に係る操作情報を表示制御部１０３に出力する（ステップＳＴ７０３）。
　表示制御部１０３は、操作情報に基づき、判別基準及び機能起動時の入力操作を参照して、表示部１０１の画面仕様を決定する（ステップＳＴ７０５）。そして、表示制御部１０３は、決定した表示部１０１の画面仕様を表示部１０１に出力する（ステップＳＴ７０７）。 Referring to FIG. 7, a flowchart of display screen switching control of display unit 101 according to the present embodiment is shown.
Touch panel 102 or key input unit 104 receives an input operation (user gesture) from the user (step ST701), and outputs operation information related to the input operation to display control unit 103 (step ST703).
Based on the operation information, display control section 103 refers to the discrimination criterion and the input operation at the time of function activation, and determines the screen specifications of display section 101 (step ST705). Then, display control section 103 outputs the determined screen specification of display section 101 to display section 101 (step ST707).
