 操作判別部13は、操作情報取得部12から通知された押下状態と押下位置の座標から、操作(例えば、タッチ操作、フリック操作など)を判別し、フリック操作の場合は、フリック操作が行われた範囲の平均座標を算出し、算出結果を含む操作履歴情報を操作履歴記憶部14に送出する。 The operation determination unit 13 determines an operation (for example, a touch operation or a flick operation) from the pressed state and the coordinates of the pressed position notified from the operation information acquisition unit 12. In the case of a flick operation, the flick operation is performed. The average coordinates of the calculated range are calculated, and the operation history information including the calculation result is sent to the operation history storage unit 14.
 操作履歴記憶部14は、フリック操作が行われた領域の平均座標の履歴が記述されている操作履歴情報が記憶されている。操作履歴記憶部14は、表示制御部15から操作履歴情報取得要求を受けると、表示制御部15に対して操作履歴情報を送出する。 The operation history storage unit 14 stores operation history information in which an average coordinate history of a region where a flick operation is performed is described. When receiving an operation history information acquisition request from the display control unit 15, the operation history storage unit 14 sends operation history information to the display control unit 15.
 表示制御部15はアイコン表示やリスト表示を行う際に、アイコンやリスト項目の表示項目と表示項目に関連づいた利用頻度情報を利用頻度検出部16より取得する。また、操作履歴記憶部14から操作履歴情報を取得し、過去にフリック操作が行われた座標の平均座標を算出する。そして、フリック操作が行われた座標の平均座標と表示項目の利用頻度情報を用いて表示項目の表示位置を決定し、タッチパネルディスプレイ11に表示要求を行う。 The display control unit 15 acquires the display frequency of the icons and list items and the usage frequency information related to the display items from the usage frequency detection unit 16 when performing icon display or list display. In addition, operation history information is acquired from the operation history storage unit 14, and average coordinates of coordinates in which flick operations have been performed in the past are calculated. Then, the display position of the display item is determined using the average coordinates of the coordinates where the flick operation is performed and the usage frequency information of the display item, and a display request is made to the touch panel display 11.
 利用頻度検出部16は、表示項目と表示項目の選択回数のリストが記述されている利用頻度情報が記憶されている。利用頻度検出部16は、表示制御部15から表示項目取得要求を受けると、表示制御部15に対して利用頻度情報を送出する。 The usage frequency detection unit 16 stores usage frequency information in which a list of display items and the number of selections of display items is described. When receiving the display item acquisition request from the display control unit 15, the usage frequency detection unit 16 sends usage frequency information to the display control unit 15.
 図2は、本発明の実施の形態における、操作履歴記憶部14に記憶されている操作履歴情報を示す図である。操作履歴記憶部14には、フリック操作が行われた日時と、フリック操作が行われた領域の平均座標とが、一つのレコードとして記憶されている。 FIG. 2 is a diagram showing operation history information stored in the operation history storage unit 14 in the embodiment of the present invention. The operation history storage unit 14 stores the date and time when the flick operation was performed and the average coordinates of the area where the flick operation was performed as one record.
 なお、ここでは、日時の情報によって過去の操作の順番が分かるようにしているが、これに限定されるものではなく、操作履歴情報の登録要求が行われる毎にインクリメントされる番号等を記憶することによって、過去の操作の順番が分かるようにしてもよい。 Here, the order of past operations is made known by the date and time information, but the present invention is not limited to this, and a number incremented each time an operation history information registration request is made is stored. Thus, the order of past operations may be known.
 図3は、本発明の実施の形態における、利用頻度検出部16に記憶されている表示項目情報を示す図である。利用頻度検出部16には、表示項目と、表示項目の選択回数とが、一つのレコードとして記憶されている。 FIG. 3 is a diagram showing display item information stored in the usage frequency detector 16 in the embodiment of the present invention. The usage frequency detection unit 16 stores the display item and the number of selections of the display item as one record.
 なお、ここでは、選択回数を利用頻度を示す指標に用いているが、これに限定されるものではなく、過去に選択された日時、ユーザが設定した優先度等を、利用頻度を示す指標として用いてもよい。 Here, the number of selections is used as an index indicating the usage frequency, but is not limited to this. The date and time selected in the past, the priority set by the user, and the like are used as the index indicating the usage frequency. It may be used.
 図4は、本発明の実施の形態における、フリック操作が行われた領域の平均座標を記憶するときの処理手順を示すフローチャートである。 FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure for storing the average coordinates of the area where the flick operation is performed in the embodiment of the present invention.
 操作情報取得部12は、ユーザの指がタッチパネルに触れると、タッチパネルディスプレイ11からの信号を受け取り、タッチパネルの押下検出を行い、押下位置の座標を算出し、操作判別部13に押下位置の座標を通知する(ステップS41)。 When the user's finger touches the touch panel, the operation information acquisition unit 12 receives a signal from the touch panel display 11, detects the press of the touch panel, calculates the coordinates of the pressed position, and gives the operation determination unit 13 the coordinates of the pressed position. Notification is made (step S41).
 次に、操作情報取得部12は、ユーザの指がタッチパネルから離れると、タッチパネルディスプレイからの信号を受け取り、タッチパネルの解放検出を行い、解放位置の座標を算出し、操作判別部13に解放位置の座標を通知する(ステップS42)。 Next, when the user's finger leaves the touch panel, the operation information acquisition unit 12 receives a signal from the touch panel display, detects the release of the touch panel, calculates the coordinates of the release position, and sends the coordinates of the release position to the operation determination unit 13. The coordinates are notified (step S42).
 次に、操作判別部13は、操作情報取得部12から通知された押下位置と解放位置の座標からフリック操作か否かを判別する(ステップS43、S44)。 Next, the operation determination unit 13 determines whether or not the flick operation is performed based on the coordinates of the pressed position and the release position notified from the operation information acquisition unit 12 (steps S43 and S44).
 フリック操作でない場合は、操作座標を記憶する必要はないため、何もせずに処理を終了する。 If it is not a flick operation, there is no need to memorize the operation coordinates, so the process is terminated without doing anything.
 フリック操作である場合は、操作判別部13はフリック操作の平均座標を算出し、操作履歴記憶部14に送出する(ステップS45)。そして、操作履歴記憶部14は、操作判別部13から受け取ったフリック操作の平均座標を時刻情報と共に記憶する(ステップS46)。 If the operation is a flick operation, the operation determination unit 13 calculates the average coordinates of the flick operation and sends it to the operation history storage unit 14 (step S45). Then, the operation history storage unit 14 stores the average coordinates of the flick operation received from the operation determination unit 13 together with time information (step S46).
 図5は、本発明の実施の形態における、フリック操作の操作履歴情報の平均座標付近に利用頻度の高い表示項目を表示するときの処理手順を示すフローチャートである。 FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure when displaying frequently used display items near the average coordinates of the operation history information of the flick operation in the embodiment of the present invention.
 表示制御部15は、操作履歴記憶部14から、操作履歴情報を取得する(ステップS51)。 The display control unit 15 acquires operation history information from the operation history storage unit 14 (step S51).
 次に、表示制御部15は、取得した操作履歴情報の平均座標を算出する(ステップS52)。 Next, the display control unit 15 calculates the average coordinates of the acquired operation history information (step S52).
 次に、表示制御部15は、利用頻度検出部16から各表示項目の利用頻度を示す情報を含む表示項目情報を取得する(ステップS53)。 Next, the display control unit 15 acquires display item information including information indicating the usage frequency of each display item from the usage frequency detection unit 16 (step S53).
 次に、表示制御部15は、表示項目情報を参照し、利用頻度の高い表示項目が操作履歴情報の平均座標に近い位置に表示されるように、表示項目の表示位置を決定し、表示項目を表示する(ステップS54、S55)。 Next, the display control unit 15 refers to the display item information, determines the display position of the display item so that the frequently used display item is displayed at a position close to the average coordinates of the operation history information, and displays the display item. Is displayed (steps S54 and S55).
 例として、操作履歴記憶部14に図2に示す操作履歴情報が、利用頻度検出部16に図3に示す表示項目が記憶されているときに、表示項目をリスト形式で表示する場合の表示位置の決定方法を、図6を参照しながら説明する。 As an example, when the operation history information shown in FIG. 2 is stored in the operation history storage unit 14 and the display items shown in FIG. 3 are stored in the usage frequency detection unit 16, the display position when the display items are displayed in a list format. The determination method will be described with reference to FIG.
 図6(a)は、リスト形式で表示項目を表示する場合のレイアウトを示す図である。図2の操作履歴情報の平均座標が点60の位置に求められたとする。点60に一番目に近い表示項目表示位置は表示位置65であるため、図3より選択回数が一番目に多い表示項目である「メール」が表示位置65に表示されるように決定される。次に、点60に二番目に近い表示項目表示位置は表示位置66であるため、図3より選択回数が二番目に多い表示項目である「電話」が表示位置66に表示されるように決定される。残りの表示項目についても同様に表示位置を決定すると、最終的に図6(b)のように決定できる。 FIG. 6A is a diagram showing a layout when display items are displayed in a list format. Assume that the average coordinates of the operation history information in FIG. Since the display item display position closest to the point 60 is the display position 65, it is determined that “mail”, which is the display item with the largest number of selections, is displayed at the display position 65 from FIG. 3. Next, since the display item display position that is second closest to the point 60 is the display position 66, the display item “phone”, which is the second most frequently selected item from FIG. 3, is determined to be displayed at the display position 66. Is done. If the display positions of the remaining display items are similarly determined, the final display items can be finally determined as shown in FIG.
 以上のように本実施の形態によれば、ユーザが片手で操作している可能性の高いフリック操作のような、タッチパネルディスプレイ上の座標に依存しない操作が行われた領域の近くに、利用頻度の高い表示項目を表示させることにより、ユーザにとって利用頻度の高い表示項目をユーザが片手で操作しているときに選択しやすい位置に配置することができる。 As described above, according to the present embodiment, the frequency of use is close to a region where an operation that does not depend on coordinates on the touch panel display, such as a flick operation that is likely to be performed by the user with one hand, is performed. By displaying a display item having a high level, it is possible to arrange a display item that is frequently used by the user at a position that can be easily selected when the user is operating with one hand.
 なお、本実施の形態では、表示項目の表示例としてリスト状に配置される場合を示したが、アイコンがグリッド状に配置される形式であっても構わない。また、本実施の形態では、ユーザが選択しやすい位置に表示項目を配置したが、位置だけではなく表示項目の大きさをユーザが選択しやすいように変更するものであっても構わない。 In the present embodiment, the case where the display items are arranged in a list form is shown as an example of display items. However, the icons may be arranged in a grid form. In the present embodiment, the display item is arranged at a position that is easy for the user to select. However, not only the position but also the size of the display item may be changed so that the user can easily select it.
