For example, also can will be presented at whole action button 10B on the touch panel 11a as object, the threshold value that whether has surpassed regulation by the continuous compression number to the upper-side area 10H of this action button 10B or underside area 10L is judged.In addition, the threshold value that for example also can whether surpass regulation by the continuous compression number to the upper-side area 10H of same action button 10B or underside area 10L is judged.
In addition, be that example is illustrated with operation display part in the above-described embodiment, but when implementing, be not limited thereto, also can apply the present invention to have the operating means of the touch panel of stationkeeping with the touch panel that can freely adjust the angle of inclination.
In this case, because the stationkeeping of touch panel, thereby can prevent to be difficult to recognize or to be difficult to operate the misoperation of users that causes owing to the demonstration of touch panel, operability improved.
In addition, in the above-described embodiment, 11d controls touch panel 11a or operating key 1c by the operation display control unit, but also can omit operation display control unit 11d by the control function that makes master control part 6 have operation display control unit 11d.
And, the situation that applies the present invention to duplicating machine has been described in the above-described embodiment, but the present invention can be applied to also with touch panel as various image processing systems beyond the duplicating machine of operating means or the various device beyond this image processing system.
Below, with reference to accompanying drawing the 3rd embodiment of the present invention is described.
Figure 12 is the block diagram that the function of the duplicating machine 300 of expression the 3rd embodiment constitutes.
As shown in Figure 12, this duplicating machine 300 comprises: operation display part 21, image reading unit 2, image storage part 3, image processing part 4, Printing Department 5 and master control part 6.Because image reading unit 2, image storage part 3, image processing part 4, Printing Department 5 and master control part 6 are identical with first embodiment, thereby omit detailed explanation.
As shown in the figure, operation display part 21 comprises touch panel 21a, variable-angle supporting device 1b, operating key 21c and operation display control unit 21d, and it plays a role as the man-machine interface that the user is associated with this duplicating machine 300.
The display surface of known touch panel 21a display panel is provided with the transparent planar compression sensor of resistive film mode etc., when the user with touches such as fingers, push when being presented at action button 20B on the display panel by operation display control unit 21d, planar compression sensor will represent that the operation signal of pressing position (touch location) is exported to and operate display control unit 21d.On this touch panel 21a, the layout by operation display control unit 21d with regulation shows a plurality of action button 20B (with reference to Figure 14 A, 14B) that are assigned various functions respectively.
Figure 13 A, Figure 13 B are the synoptic diagram of the angle initialization state of the touch panel 21a that realizes by variable-angle supporting device 1b of expression.
Variable-angle supporting device 1b (angle adjusting part) is the mechanism that can freely change the above-mentioned touch panel 21a of ground, angle of inclination supporting.Variable-angle supporting device 1b is set at " downwards " state shown in " acquiescence " state shown in Figure 13 A and Figure 13 B by support the axle on two sides that are arranged on touch panel 21a free to rotately changeably with the angle of inclination of touch panel 21a." acquiescence " state is to have reduced the angle of inclination of touch panel 21a so that the set condition that the user of standard heights operates the operating surface (display surface) of touch panel 21a easily (angle of inclination is approximately 5 °), on the other hand, " downwards " state is to have increased the angle of inclination of touch panel 21a so that compare the maneuverable set condition of the shorter user of height (angle of inclination is approximately 40 °) with the user of standard heights.
As shown in figure 12, operating key 21c for example is that the clear key C, power knob, beginning copy button etc. of cancellation content of operation are presented at the operating key (hardware button) beyond the action button 20B on the touch panel 21a.The action button 20B that is shown by touch panel 21a is presented on the display panel in the mode of software according to the regulated procedure of operation display control unit 21d, relative therewith, operating key 21c is constituted by physical property ground as hardware button, and it will export to operation display control unit 21d based on the operation signal of user's operation.
Operation display control unit 21d is the control device of under the control of master control part 6 above-mentioned touch panel 21a and operating key 21c being controlled, it comprises MPU (Micro Processing Unit, microprocessor), internal storage, touch panel 21a and the interface circuit etc. that carries out the transmitting-receiving of various signals with operating key 21c and master control part 6.This operation display control unit 21d according to be stored in operation display control program in the internal storage, from the operation signal of touch panel 21a and operating key 21c input, from the steering order of master control part 6 inputs, at the set information (back will describe) in the various zones that touch panel 21a sets, the operation of touch panel 21a is shown that control or user's operational order sends master control part 6 to.
More particularly, operation display control unit 21d is set in kind or the layout (with reference to Figure 14 A) of the action button 20B of touch panel 21a demonstration according to the steering order from master control part 6 inputs.In addition, according to from the operation signal of touch panel 21a input or from the operation signal of operating key 21c input, decision operation which action button 20B or operating key, and export to master control part 6 as user's operational order.
Figure 14 A, Figure 14 B are illustrated in the synoptic diagram that touch panel 21a goes up the action button 20B that shows.
Figure 14 A is illustrated in the example that touch panel 21a goes up the layout of the action button 20B that shows.For little picture, owing to need to show a plurality of action button 20B, thereby the reduced demonstration of action button 20B, it is narrow and small that the interval between the adjacent in addition action button 20B also becomes.Therefore, between adjacent action button 20B, produce maloperation easily, particularly when the angle of inclination of touch panel 21a is improper for the user, produce maloperation between the adjacent in a longitudinal direction easily action button 20B.
Here, as mentioned above, be the signal of pushing coordinate (touch coordinate) that the expression user pushes at touch panel 21a from the operation signal of touch panel 21a input operation display control unit 21d.As shown in Figure 14B, operation display control unit 21d has preestablished the position corresponding buttons identified region 20K (coordinate range) with the various action button 20B that show on touch panel 21a at each action button 20B, and by to this pushbutton recognition zone 20K and which action button 20B that compared decision operation from the represented coordinate of the operation signal of touch panel 21a input.
In addition, operation display control unit 21d will except with the equitant scope of the demonstration of action button 20B (middle section 20M) comprise that also the scope of the adjacent upper of this middle section 20M and adjacent bottom is as pushbutton recognition zone 20K.That is, in the zone after from the 20K of pushbutton recognition zone, removing middle section 20M, with the zone of upside as upper-side area 20H, with the zone of downside as underside area 20L.That is, when in the zone of middle section 20M, upper-side area 20H or underside area 20L, touch being arranged, will export to master control part 6 with the corresponding operation signal of content of operation of distributing to this action button 20B.In the present embodiment, In the view of the user of operating touch panel 21a, upper-side area 20H is positioned at from middle section 20M position far away, and is positioned at from the nearer position of middle section 20M at user's underside area 20L.
In addition, pushbutton recognition zone 20K is being had under the situation of touch operation, operation display control unit 21d distinguishes its pressing position is in which zone that is among middle section 20M, upper-side area 20H or the underside area 20L, and will distinguish that the result is stored in the interior internal storage of operation display control unit 21d.
In addition, the set information of pushbutton recognition zone 20K and upper-side area 20H, middle section 20M, underside area 20L is stored in the internal storage of operating in the display control unit 21d in advance.
In addition, operation display control unit 21d comprises the operation instrumentation 21ds of portion, the auxiliary judging part 21dt that shows.
The operation instrumentation 21ds of portion carries out instrumentation to the touch operation of the some action button 20B among a plurality of action button 20B with the multiplicity of the operation of this operation of cancellation.
For example, if cancelled this operation by clear key C later at the pushbutton recognition zone 20K1 that has touched the action button 20B1 (first action button) that content of operation is shown as " waiting doubly ", then multiplicity is 1 time by instrumentation, in addition, in the touch of the pushbutton recognition zone 20K1 that after this couple action button 20B1 is arranged and cancelled by clear key C under the situation of this operation, multiplicity is 2 times by instrumentation.
Figure 15 A, Figure 15 B are the synoptic diagram that expression shows the touch panel 21a of assistant images 27.
Multiplicity at the operation instrumentation 21ds of portion instrumentation has reached under the situation of the multiplicity of stipulating, the auxiliary information that shows judging part 21dt with reference to the pressing position in the internal storage that is kept at operation display control unit 21d.And, when the pressing position for the action button 20B that is repeated to have carried out touch operation all belonged to upper-side area 20H or underside area 20L, the action button 20B of the action button 20B identical operations content that the top of expression and this action button 20B or bottom is adjacent was presented in the assistant images 27.
Be that example describes specifically with Figure 15 A, Figure 15 B.Multiplicity at action button 20B1 has reached under the situation of the multiplicity of stipulating, show the assistant images 27 of representing action button 20B3 (the 3rd action button) and action button 20B4 (the 4th action button) simultaneously according to following each condition, described action button 20B3 represents " to wait doubly " with action button 20B1 identical operations content.
Shown in Figure 15 A, when the pressing position for action button 20B1 all belongs to upper-side area 20H1, the auxiliary judging part 21dt that shows will represent that the action button 20B4a with the action button 20B2a identical operations content " amplification " adjacent with the top of action button 20B1 is presented among the assistant images 27a in 8 action button 20B2 (second action button) adjacent with action button 21B1.
In addition, shown in Figure 15 B, when the pressing position for action button 20B1 all belongs to underside area 20L, the action button 20B4b (" dwindling ") that has amplified the action button 20B2b adjacent with the bottom of action button 20B1 is presented among the assistant images 27b.
Here, action button 20B3,20B4 (20B4a, 20B4b) are bigger than action button 20B1,20B2, and transversely arranged demonstration.And, at the elimination button CB of the right lower quadrant display suppression assistant images 27 of assistant images 27.
Do not meeting under the situation of above-mentioned arbitrary condition, promptly under the situation that upper-side area 20H and underside area 20L are touched at random, do not showing assistant images 27.
Below, explain the action of the major part of this duplicating machine 300 according to process flow diagram shown in Figure 16.This process flow diagram is the process flow diagram that forms according to the processing that extracts part related to the present invention (major part) the various processing carried out of operation display control program from operation display control unit 21d (more precisely operating the MPU of display control unit 21d).
Below, illustrate for the touch operation of action button 20B1 (" waiting doubly ") and cancellation operation thereof to be repeated the situation of carrying out.
At first, the operation instrumentation 21ds of portion will operate touch operation and the cancellation thereof of action button 21B1, promptly the pressing operation to clear key C is that a unit comes instrumentation multiplicity (step S21).
Then, the auxiliary judging part 21dt that shows judges (step S22) to the multiplicity of instrumentation and the multiplicity that is stored in the regulation in the internal storage in advance (being 3 times) be whether consistent in the 3rd embodiment.
If the touch operation of action button 20B1 and the operation of cancellation touch operation have been reached 3 times, then the user wishes that the action button of operating may be action button 20B2a (" amplification ") adjacent with the top of action button 20B1 or the action button 20B2b (" dwindle ") adjacent with the bottom.
Its reason is as follows: at first, suppose that the user uses under the inappropriate state in the angle of inclination of touch panel 21a, in addition in this case, when the user wishes that the action button 20B that operates is action button 20B2a (" amplification ") adjacent with top among the action button 20B2 or the action button 20B2b (" dwindle ") adjacent with the bottom, touch operation button 20B1 possibly.
Under the situation that is judged as "No" of this step S22, auxiliary demonstration judging part 21dt is back to step S21 and continues multiplicity is carried out instrumentation.
On the other hand, under the situation that is judged as "Yes" of step S22, promptly be touched 3 times and this touch operation has been cancelled under 3 times the situation at action button 20B1, the auxiliary judging part 21dt that shows judges whether the pressing position to action button 20B1 is upper-side area 20H1 or underside area 20L1 (step S23).
Under the situation that is judged as "No" of step S23, operation display control unit 21d is back to step S21 and proceeds instrumentation again.That is, under the situation that middle section 20M1 is touched, can assert that for the time being the user can be according to wish touch operation button 20B1, thereby the necessity of assisted user descends.
Under the situation that is judged as "Yes" of step S23, auxiliary demonstration judging part 21dt judges that 3 times pressing position to the touch recognition zone 20K1 of action button 20B1 is which zone (step S24) that belongs among upper-side area 20H1 and the underside area 20L1.
Here, only belong at 3 times pressing positions under the situation of upper-side area 20H1, being likely that the shorter user of height has operated touch panel 21a under " acquiescence " state (angle of inclination that the user of standard heights uses), is action button 20B2a and this user wishes to operate.This is because the operation under this condition is compared with the operation under other conditions, and the user exists touch unconsciously to be partial to the position of the below of action button 20B2a, to be the tendency of the upper-side area 20H1 of action button 20B1.
Therefore, shown in Figure 15 A, only be at 3 times pressing positions under the situation of upper-side area 20H1, the action button 20B3 that auxiliary demonstration judging part 21dt will amplify action button 20B1 is presented at touch panel 21a with the transversely arranged assistant images 27a of action button 20B4a that has amplified action button 20B2a and goes up (step S25).
On the contrary, only belong at 3 times pressing positions under the situation of underside area 20L1, the user who is likely standard heights has operated touch panel 21a under " downwards " state (angle of inclination that the user that height is lower uses), be action button 20B2b and this user wishes to operate.This is because the operation under this condition is compared with the operation under other conditions, and the user exists touch unconsciously to be partial to the position of the top of action button 20B2b, to be the tendency of the underside area 20L1 of action button 20B1.
Therefore, shown in Figure 15 B, only be at 3 times pressing positions under the situation of underside area 20L1, the action button 20B3 that auxiliary demonstration judging part 21dt will amplify action button 20B1 is presented on the touch panel 21a with the transversely arranged assistant images 27b of action button 20B4b that has amplified action button 20B2b.
And under the situation that upper-side area 20H and underside area 20L are touched randomly, operation display control unit 21d does not show assistant images 27, and is back to step S21 and continues multiplicity is carried out instrumentation.This is owing to can't assert which type of user is at the action button 20B that operates and wish to operate according to pressing position.
In step S25, S26, show assistant images 27, then operate display control unit 21d and judge whether the user has selected action button 20B3 or the 20B4 (step S27) that shows on assistant images 27.
And, in user's touch operation under the situation of action button 20B3 that shows on the assistant images 27 or 20B4, carry out the processing (step S28) of action button 20B3 or 20B4, continue again then multiplicity is carried out instrumentation.
On the other hand, under the situation of supressing cancel button CB, cancellation assistant images 27 (step S29), and be back to step S21 and continue again multiplicity is carried out instrumentation.
Top is not existed the action button 20B of action button 20B, for example content of operation is shown as under the touch operation and situation that cancellation operation is repeated to carry out thereof of action button 20B of " amplification " shown in Figure 14 A, even when 3 times pressing positions belong to upper-side area 20H, the auxiliary judging part 21dt that shows or not assistant images 27 yet.This is owing to consider to think that the user wishes that the action button 20B that operates does not exist according to pressing position.
There is not the action button 20B of action button 20B for the bottom, also identical when 3 times pressing positions belong to underside area 20L.
As mentioned above, according to the 3rd embodiment, operation display control unit 21d is auxiliary by the touch operation of action button 20B1 (" waiting doubly ") and the multiplicity of the operation of cancelling this touch operation are learnt that the user need operate.And, according to pressing position, assert that the user wishes which among action button 20B2a (" amplification ") adjacent with the top of action button 20B1 or the action button 20B2b (" dwindling ") adjacent with the bottom action button 20B that operates be to action button 20B1.And alternative ground will be represented to be presented at clearly on the assistant images 27 with action button 20B1 and the action button 20B2a of identification or action button 20B3, the 20B4 (20B4a, 20B4b) of action button 20B2b identical operations content.
Thus, the user can easily select action button 20B3,20B4 once more.Like this, even the angle of inclination of touch panel 21a is also improper for user's height, also can avoid maloperation.
In addition, under the inappropriate situation in the angle of inclination of touch panel 21a, be easy to generate maloperation between the adjacent in a longitudinal direction action button 20B, therefore transversely arranged display operation button 20B3,20B4 in assistant images 27.In addition, compare with action button 20B1,20B2, action button 20B3,20B4 are shown greatlyyer.
Thus, can not produce new maloperation again in the selecting once more on assistant images 27.
Therefore, even under the angle initialization of the best, do not use touch panel 21a and produced maloperation thus, because can reasonably assert the user wishes the action button 20B that operates and it is presented on the touch panel 21a, thereby can make the user select to wish the action button of operating basically reliably, therefore can avoid maloperation.
Figure 17 A, Figure 17 B, Figure 17 C, Figure 17 D are the figure of the setting example of expression pushbutton recognition zone 20K etc.
Shown in Figure 17 A, Figure 17 B, Figure 17 C, Figure 17 D, can be suitably the setting of pushbutton recognition zone 20K etc. be changed.Shown in Figure 17 A, Figure 17 B, middle section 20M is narrowed down on above-below direction, and with the zone of the scope of this constriction as upper-side area 20H and underside area 20L and amplify respectively.Its reason is: in the present embodiment, belong at pressing position under the situation of middle section 20M, roughly be estimated as the user and can come touch operation button 20B according to wish, but for example for the configuration of the action button 20B situation than complicated more or its big or small reducedization shown in Figure 14 A, can be assumed to the user can't come touch operation button 20B according to wish.
In addition, can shown in Figure 17 C, like that middle section 20M be set yet and upper-side area 20H and underside area 20L only are set.This is owing to the narrow and small situation in interval that also exists between the adjacent action button 20B.Equally, shown in Figure 17 D, pushbutton recognition zone 20K needn't comprise necessarily that the adjacent upper of middle section 20M and adjacent bottom set.
In addition, variable-angle supporting device 1b need not be set.This is owing in the short and small touch panel in interval between reducedization of action button, action button, even the angle of inclination is suitable for the user, also be easy to generate maloperation, therefore can use the maloperation that the present invention avoids this touch panel.
Below, with reference to accompanying drawing the 4th embodiment of the present invention is described.
Figure 18 is the block diagram that the function of the duplicating machine 300A of expression second embodiment constitutes.
As shown in figure 18, this duplicating machine 300A comprises operation display part 31, image reading unit 2, image storage part 3, image processing part 4, Printing Department 5 and master control part 6.
In addition, for constituting the aspect identical, omission explanation with duplicating machine 300.
Operation display part 31 comprises touch panel 21a, variable-angle supporting device 1b, operating key 21c, operation display control unit 31d and angle measuring device 31e.
Angle measuring device 31e is for there being contact switch, when touch panel 21a changes into " acquiescence " state or " downwards " state, by the axle that is had by variable-angle supporting device 1b the switching of contact switch is arranged, the set condition of touch panel (" default conditions ", " state downwards ") is transmitted to operation display control unit 31d.
Operation display control unit 31d comprises operation instrumentation 31ds of portion and the auxiliary judging part 31dt that shows.The operation instrumentation 31ds of portion is identical with the formation of the operation instrumentation 21ds of portion that duplicating machine 300 is had.
Multiplicity at the operation instrumentation 31ds of portion instrumentation has reached under the situation of the multiplicity of stipulating, the auxiliary angle of inclination that shows judging part 31dt according to touch panel 21a, with expression with and the action button 20B that is repeated to carry out the adjacent action button 20B identical operations content in the top of action button 20B of touch operation or bottom be presented on the assistant images 27a.
Specifically, shown in Figure 15 A, when the angle of inclination of touch panel 21a is the threshold value of regulation when above, on assistant images 27a, show the action button 20B3 that represents with action button 20B1 identical operations content, and show the action button 20B4a that represents with the action button 20B2a identical operations content adjacent with the top of this action button 20B1.
In addition, shown in Figure 15 B, when the angle of inclination of touch panel 21a does not reach the threshold value of regulation, on assistant images 27b, show the action button 20B3 that represents with action button 20B1 identical operations content, and show the action button 20B4b that represents with the action button 20B2b identical operations content adjacent with the bottom of this action button 20B1.
Here, action button 20B3,20B4 (20B4a, 20B4b) compare by transversely arranged demonstration significantly with action button 20B1,20B2.And, at the cancel button CB of the right lower quadrant display suppression assistant images 27 of assistant images 27.
In this duplicating machine 300A, threshold value for example is set to 20 ° at angle of inclination.As mentioned above, touch panel 21a angle of inclination for " default conditions " time is 5 °, does not therefore reach threshold value, and the angle of inclination is 40 ° for " state downwards " time, is more than the threshold value therefore.
Then, explain the action of the major part of this duplicating machine 300A according to process flow diagram shown in Figure 19.Below, illustrate the touch operation of the action button 20B1 shown in Figure 14 A (" waiting doubly ") and cancellation operation thereof are repeated the situation of carrying out.
At first, the operation instrumentation 31ds of portion will come instrumentation multiplicity (step S31) as a unit to touch operation and the cancellation operation thereof of action button 20B1.
Then, the auxiliary judging part 31dt that shows judges the multiplicity of instrumentation and the multiplicity that is stored in the regulation in the internal storage in advance (being 3 times) whether consistent (step S32) in the 4th embodiment.
Under the situation that is judged as "No" of this step S32, auxiliary demonstration judging part 31dt is back to step S31 and continues multiplicity is carried out instrumentation.
Under the situation that is judged as "Yes" of step S32, the auxiliary judging part 31dt that shows judges whether the angle of inclination of touch panel 21a does not reach threshold value (whether being " default conditions ") (step S33).
Under the situation that is judged as "Yes" of step S33, promptly do not reach under the situation of threshold value (" default conditions ") at the angle of inclination of touch panel, shown in Figure 15 A, auxiliary show judging part 31dt will represent with the action button 20B4a of the action button 20B3 of action button 20B1 identical operations content and expression and action button 20B2a identical operations content transversely arranged assistant images 27a be presented on the touch panel 21a (step S34).
This is owing to do not reach under the situation of threshold value (" acquiescence " state) at the angle of inclination of touch panel 21a, compares the shorter user of height with the user's of standard heights operation and the probability of maloperation takes place uprises.And, in this case, since the shorter user of height exist the below that unconsciously touches deflection action button 20B2a the position, be the tendency of the upside among the identified region 20K1 of action button 20B1, so action button 20B2a is likely that the user wishes the button of operating.
On the other hand, under the situation that is judged as "No" of step S33, be under the situation of (" state downwards ") more than the threshold value promptly at the angle of inclination of touch panel 21a, shown in Figure 15 B, the auxiliary assistant images 27b that shows that judging part 31dt will represent and the action button 20B4b of the action button 20B3 of action button 20B1 identical operations content and expression and action button 20B2b identical operations content is transversely arranged is presented at touch panel 21a and goes up (step S35).
This is owing to be under the situation of (" downwards " state) more than the threshold value at touch panel 21a, the user shorter with height compares, the probability that maloperation takes place the user of standard heights uprises, since the user of standard heights exist the top that unconsciously touches deflection action button 20B2b the position, be the tendency of the downside among the identified region 20K1 of action button 20B1, so action button 20B2b is likely that the user wishes the button of operating.
And operation display control unit 31d judges whether the user has selected the selector button (step S36) that shows on assistant images 27a or 27b.The user to assistant images on shown action button 20B carried out under the situation of touch operation, carry out the processing (step S37) of this action button 20B, be back to step S31 then and continue again multiplicity is carried out instrumentation.
On the other hand, cancellation assistant images 27 (step S38) is back to step S31 and continues again multiplicity is carried out instrumentation under the situation of supressing clear key C.
In addition, under the situation that certain action button 20B has been repeated touch operation and cancellation operation thereof, when the upside at this action button 20B does not have display operation button 20B, even the auxiliary judging part 31dt that shows or not assistant images 27 yet when not reaching threshold value at the angle of inclination.In addition, when the downside at this action button 20B does not have display operation button 20B, even be that threshold value does not show assistant images 27 when above yet at the angle of inclination.
In addition, top is not existed the action button 20B of action button 20B, for example content of operation is shown as under the touch operation and situation that cancellation operation is repeated to carry out thereof of action button 20B of " amplification " as shown in figure 14, the auxiliary judging part 31dt that shows or not assistant images 27 during for " default conditions " at the angle of inclination of touch panel 21a.This is owing to consider to think that the user wishes that the action button 20B that operates does not exist according to the angle of inclination.
There is not the action button 20B of action button 20B for the bottom, also identical when being " state downwards ".
As mentioned above, according to the 4th embodiment, operation display control unit 31d is auxiliary by the touch operation of action button 20B1 (" waiting doubly ") and the multiplicity of the operation of cancelling this touch operation are learnt that the user need operate.And, by the angle of inclination of touch panel 21a, assert that the user wishes which among action button 20B2a (" amplification ") adjacent with the top of action button 20B1 or the action button 20B2b (" dwindling ") adjacent with the bottom action button 20B that operates be.And alternative ground will be represented to be presented at clearly on the assistant images 27 with action button 20B1 and the action button 20B2a of identification or action button 20B3, the 20B4 (20B4a, 20B4b) of action button 20B2b identical operations content.
Thus, the user can easily select action button 20B3,20B4 once more.Like this, even the angle of inclination of touch panel 21a is also improper for user's height, also can avoid maloperation.
In addition, under the inappropriate situation in the angle of inclination of touch panel 21a, be easy to generate maloperation between the adjacent in a longitudinal direction action button 20B, thus in assistant images 27 transversely arranged display operation button 20B3,20B4.And, comparing with action button 20B1,20B2, action button 20B3,20B4 are shown greatlyyer.
Thus, can not produce new maloperation again in the selecting once more on assistant images 27.
Therefore, even under only angle initialization, do not use touch panel 21a and produced maloperation thus, because can reasonably assert the user wishes the action button 20B that operates and it is presented on the touch panel 21a, thereby can make the user select to wish the action button of operating basically reliably, therefore can avoid maloperation.
In addition, in this duplicating machine 300A, make the two-stage of the angle of inclination of touch panel 21a, but also can use multistage or stepless mode for " default conditions " and " state downwards ".In this case, need to use be used to judge touch panel the angle of inclination whether as the angular transducer more than the threshold value etc.
The different shape of Shuo Ming sequence of movement or each component parts or combination etc. are examples in the above-described embodiment, can be in the scope that does not break away from purport of the present invention wait according to designing requirement and carry out various changes.
For example, in the above-described embodiment, touch panel 21a is the resistive film mode, also can replace this mode and uses the surface acoustic wave mode.
In addition, the cancellation operation to the operation of action button 20B is not limited to clear key C.For example, comprise that in operating key 21c cancel key, abort key, return key also are fine, also can be used as the action button on the touch panel 21a and be shown as " (operation) remove " " termination " and " return " " cancellation ".In addition, these can be mixed the instrumentation multiplicity.
And, the also displaying contents of environment that can be placed according to image processing system or touch panel and suitably change the multiplicity of regulation.
And, in the above-described embodiment, on the part on the touch panel 21a, show assistant images 27, but also can in whole display frame, show assistant images 27.
The situation that applies the present invention to duplicating machine 300,300A has been described in the above-described embodiment, but the present invention can be applied to also with touch panel as the various image processing systems of operation display device or the various device beyond this image processing system.
In addition, in the above-described embodiment, control touch panel 21a or operating key 21c by operation display control unit 21d, 31d, but also can omit operation display control unit 21d, 31d by the control function that makes master control part 6 have operation display control unit 21d, 31d.
Below, with reference to accompanying drawing the 5th embodiment of the present invention is described.
Figure 20 is the block diagram that the function of the duplicating machine 400 of expression the 5th embodiment constitutes.
As shown in Figure 20, this duplicating machine 400 comprises: operation display part 41, image reading unit 2, image storage part 3, image processing part 4, Printing Department 5 and master control part 6.Image reading unit 2, image storage part 3, image processing part 4, Printing Department 5 and master control part 6 are identical with first embodiment, thereby omit detailed explanation.
As shown in the figure, operation display part 41 comprises touch panel 42, variable-angle supporting device 1b, operating key 46 and operation display control unit 47, and it plays a role as the man-machine interface that the user is associated with this duplicating machine 400.
Touch panel 42 comprises touch test section 43 and the display surface board 44 that one constitutes.
Touch test section 43 employing analog resistance film methods are used as the detection mode to the coordinate of pressing position (touch location), and it will represent that (Vx Vy) exports to operation display control unit 47 for the X coordinate of pressing position, the analog voltage signal of Y coordinate.
Figure 21 is the cross section structure figure that touches test section 43.As shown in Figure 21, touch test section 43 by lower glass substrate 43a with have between the upper membrane 43b of light transmission across spacer 43c and carry out superimposedly constituting, on each opposite face of lower glass substrate 43a and upper membrane 43b, be formed with the transparent electrode layer 43d, the 43e that constitute by ITO etc.
In the touch test section 43 of said structure, when the user has pushed upper membrane 43b, contact with the transparent electrode layer 43d of lower glass substrate 43a one side at the transparent electrode layer 43e of the upper membrane 43b of pressing position place one side.
As shown in figure 21, with the left and right directions of upper membrane 43b as X-axis, the situation of above-below direction as Y-axis with lower glass substrate 43a under, (omit diagram) and apply the voltage of regulation between the electrode that forms at the two ends, the left and right sides of upper membrane 43b, the electrode by forming on lower glass substrate 43a (electrode in the two ends: omit diagram) the up and down current potential that generates becomes the analog voltage signal Vx of the X coordinate of expression pressing position.In addition, (omit diagram) and apply the voltage of regulation between the electrode that forms at the two ends up and down of lower glass substrate 43a, the current potential that generates by the electrode (can be an electrode in the two ends, the left and right sides) that forms on upper membrane 43b becomes the analog voltage signal Vy of the Y coordinate of expression pressing position.
In addition, in Figure 21, omitted the diagram of voltage generating unit, the voltage that applies between the electrode that described voltage generating unit generates between the electrode that forms to the two ends, the left and right sides at upper membrane 43b or forms to the two ends up and down at lower glass substrate 43a.
Display surface board 44 for example is a liquid crystal panel, shows and the corresponding image of importing from operation display control unit 47 of drive signal (sweep signal or data-signal).The back will illustrate this image.
Figure 22 A, Figure 22 B are the synoptic diagram of the angle initialization state of the touch panel 42 realized by variable-angle supporting device 1b of expression.
Variable-angle supporting device 1b (angle adjusting part) is the mechanism of supporting according to the mode at the angle of inclination that can change above-mentioned touch panel 42.Variable-angle supporting device 1b is set at " downwards " state shown in " acquiescence " state shown in Figure 22 A and Figure 22 B by support the axle on two sides that are arranged on touch panel 42 free to rotately changeably with the angle of inclination of touch panel 42." acquiescence " state is to have reduced the angle of inclination of touch panel 42 so that the set condition that the user of standard heights operates the operating surface (display surface) of touch panel 42 easily.On the other hand, " downwards " state is meant the angle of inclination that increased touch panel 42 so that compare the maneuverable set condition of the shorter user of height with the user of standard heights.
Operating key 46 for example is that the clear key, power knob, beginning copy button etc. of cancellation content of operation are presented at the operating key (hardware button) beyond the action button 30B on the touch panel 42 (display surface board 44).The action button 30B that is shown by touch panel 42 shows on touch panel 42 in the mode of software according to the regulated procedure in the internal storage that is stored in the operation display control unit 47, relative therewith, operating key 46 is constituted by physical property ground as hardware button.And, will export to operation display control unit 47 based on the operation signal of user's operation.
Operation display control unit 47 is control device of controlling above-mentioned touch panel 42 and operating key 46 under the control of master control part 6, it comprises: MPU (Micro Processing Unit, microprocessor), internal storage and the interface circuit etc. that carries out the transmitting-receiving of various signals with touch panel 42, operating key 46, master control part 6.
This operation display control unit 47 according to be stored in operation display control program in the described internal storage, from the analog voltage signal that touches test section 43 inputs, from the operation signal of operating key 46 inputs, from the set information (back will describe) in the steering order of master control part 6 inputs and the various zones described internal storage, set, will show control based on the operation of touch panel 42 or send master control part 6 to from the signal of user's operation indication.
Figure 23 is illustrated in the synoptic diagram that touch panel 42 (display surface board 44) is gone up the action button 30B that shows.
Operation display control unit 47 is set in kind or the layout of the action button 30B of touch panel 42 demonstrations according to the steering order from master control part 6 inputs.
Figure 23 has represented an example of the layout of the action button 30B of demonstration on touch panel 42, and the number of action button 30B is more, and the interval between the adjacent thus action button 30B becomes narrow and small.And, because action button 30B's is big or small less, therefore maloperation takes place between adjacent action button easily, particularly when the angle of inclination of touch panel 42 is improper for the user, is easy to generate maloperation between the adjacent in a longitudinal direction action button 30B.
And this operation display control unit 47 has coordinate detection unit 47a, button scope judging part 47b, the direction identification 47c of portion and detected value correction unit 47d.
Coordinate detection unit 47a carries out digital conversion to expression from the X coordinate that touches test section 43 inputs, the analog voltage signal (Vx, Vy) of Y coordinate, obtains the magnitude of voltage of expression X coordinate and the magnitude of voltage of expression Y coordinate.And, according to the corresponding relation of the corresponding relation of X coordinate in the internal storage that is stored in advance in the operation display control unit 47 and magnitude of voltage and Y coordinate and magnitude of voltage detect the X coordinate of pressing position and Y coordinate (below, be expressed as and push coordinate (X 0, Y 0)).The initial point O of this coordinate system (0,0) is set at the lower left of touch panel 42.
Figure 24 is the enlarged drawing of the part among Figure 23, is expression action button 30B (30B1～30B3) and the concept map of the relation of identified region 30K and coordinate system.
As shown in figure 24, operation display control unit 47 has preestablished the identified region 30K that the various action button 30B that show are set on display surface board 44.
In addition, operation display control unit 47 will except with the equitant scope of the demonstration of action button 30B (show corresponding region 30M) also comprise the scope of the adjacent upper of this demonstration corresponding region 30M and adjacent bottom as identified region 30K.And, in from identified region 30K, removing the zone that shows beyond the 30M of corresponding region, with the zone of upside as upper-side area 30H, and with the zone of downside as underside area 30L, thereby can distinguish respectively and discern.That is, when in the zone that is showing corresponding region 30M, upper-side area 30H or underside area 30L touch being arranged, will export to master control part 6 with the corresponding operation signal of content of operation of distributing to this action button 30B.In the present embodiment, In the view of the user of operating touch panel 42, upper-side area 30H is positioned at from demonstration corresponding region 30M position far away, and is positioned at from showing the nearer position of corresponding region 30M at user's underside area 30L.
And operation display control unit 47 will be set at calibration object zone Q at the zone between the identified region 30K adjacent on the Y direction (non-identified region).This calibration object zone Q is corrected when correction mode described later is set carrying out, so that push coordinate (X in should the zone 0, Y 0) become in the scope that is in demonstration corresponding region 30M.
Above-mentioned set information is stored in the internal storage of operating in the display control unit 47 in advance.
Under the consistent situation of the coordinate of button scope judging part 47b in the scope of coordinate (touch location detection value) and identified region 30K is pushed in judgement, be judged as operation to this action button 30B.
That is, push coordinate (X when detecting 0, Y 0) (calibration coordinate (X perhaps described later 1, Y 1)) time, judge in the scope of the identified region 30K whether it belongs to some action button 30B.Under the situation that belongs to some identified region 30K, this action button 30B that has been identified as user's touch operation, and according to the content of operation of distributing to this action button, to display surface board 44 output drive signals, perhaps to the master control part 6 outputs operation signal relevant with this content of operation.
For example, as shown in figure 24, when detect push E push coordinate (X 0, Y 0)=(38,45) time, because the scope of the coordinate of the identified region 30K2 of action button 30B2 is as follows, be that the X coordinate is 30～45 scope, the Y coordinate is 40～54 scope, therefore judge that to push the interior coordinate of E and the scope of identified region 30K consistent, and be judged as pair operation of action button 30B2.At this moment, operation display control unit 47 " waits doubly " relevant operation signal to master control part 6 outputs with the content of operation of action button 30B2.
On the other hand, the scope of the coordinate that does not belong to some identified region 30K with interior situation under, do not export operation signal based on the content of operation of distributing to action button 30B.
When existing for the pressing position of action button 30B to tendency that fixed-direction departs from, the direction identification 47c of portion regards as the touch location offset direction with this direction.
Specifically, judge whether the compression number of upper-side area 30H or underside area 30L has been surpassed the regulation ratio that is stored in advance in the internal storage with respect to the ratio to whole compression number of action button 30B in specified time limit.And, pushing of upper-side area 30H surpassed under the situation of described regulation ratio, general+Y direction is regarded as the touch location offset direction, on the other hand, surpassed in the compression number to underside area 30L under the situation of described regulation ratio, general-Y direction is regarded as the touch location offset direction.
In the 5th embodiment, do not consider that the touch location of directions X departs from.
Assert at the direction of passage identification 47c of portion under the situation of touch location offset direction that operation display control unit 47 is set and the corresponding correction mode of this direction.Correction mode is set to correction mode I under the situation of touch location offset direction for-Y direction, be set to correction mode II under the situation for+Y direction.
Detected value correction unit 47d makes the detected coordinate (X that pushes in the Q of calibration object zone according to correction mode I, II 0, Y 0) add and make the correction value alpha in its scope that becomes the demonstration corresponding region 30M that is in top or bottom and obtain calibration coordinate (X 1, Y 1).
Specifically, when being set at correction mode I, for the detected coordinate (X that pushes in the Q of calibration object zone 0, Y 0), make Y coordinate (Y 0) add correction value alpha and make calibration coordinate (X 1, Y 1)=(X 0, Y 0+ α), so that push coordinate (X 0, Y 0) become this push coordinate+coordinate in the scope of the demonstration corresponding region 30M of Y direction (reverse direction of a touch location offset direction) side.
In addition, when being set at correction mode II, push coordinate (X for calibration object zone Q 0, Y 0), make Y coordinate (Y 0) add correction value alpha and make calibration coordinate (X 1, Y 1)=(X 0, Y 0+ α), so that push coordinate (X 0, Y 0) become this push coordinate-coordinate in the scope of the demonstration corresponding region 30M of Y direction (reverse direction of a touch location offset direction) side.
Here, as get off and set: add as corrected value, deduct the Y coordinate (Y that pushes coordinate from each Y coordinate that shows the central authorities of corresponding region 30M 0) after the value α that obtains, make the Y coordinate (Y after the correction 1) become the central authorities that show corresponding region 30M.
And, judge calibration coordinate (X after the correction by button scope judging part 47b 1, Y 1) whether consistent with the coordinate in the scope of certain identified region 30K.
Below, explain the action of the major part of this duplicating machine 400 according to process flow diagram shown in Figure 25.This process flow diagram is the process flow diagram that forms according to the processing that extracts part related to the present invention (major part) the various processing carried out of operation display control program from operation display control unit 47 (more precisely operating the MPU of display control unit 47).
Below, the situation that above-mentioned correction mode is not set as yet is described.
At first, having on the touch panel 42 under the situation of pushing, operation display control unit 47 detects by coordinate detection unit 47a pushes coordinate (X 0, Y 0) (step S41).For example, when in the underside area 30L2 of action button 30B2, pushing F 1The time (with reference to Figure 24), push coordinate and detect (35,41) as this.
Then, operation display control unit 47 judges whether to have set correction mode (step S42).Under the situation that correction mode is not set, step S42 is judged as "No", enters step S43.
In step S43, judge by button scope judging part 47b and to push coordinate (X 0, Y 0) whether be in the scope of identified region 30K of certain action button 30B.For example, for pushing F 1Situation under, judge and to push coordinate (X 0, Y 0)=(35,41), and be judged as pair operation of action button 30B2 with interior coordinate (30～45,40～54) unanimity of the scope of identified region 30K2.
Under the situation that is judged as "No" of step S43, enter step S49.
Under the situation that is judged as "Yes" of step S43, operation display control unit 47 judges whether to have set correction mode (step S44) once more.Having judged whether to set correction mode once more is because under the situation of having set correction mode, does not need to be used for setting the processing of correction mode again.
Under the situation of having set correction mode, carry out processing (step S48) based on the content of operation of the action button 30B that in step S43, is judged as operation.
On the other hand, do not setting under the situation of correction mode, step S44 is judged as "No", enters step S45 and judges whether to set the processing of correction mode.
As mentioned above, in step S45, the direction of passage identification 47c of portion judges in the specified time limit T whether the whole compression number of identified region 30K and ratio to the compression number of upper-side area 30H and underside area 30L to have been surpassed the regulation ratio that is stored in advance in the internal storage.
In the 5th embodiment, each interior regulation ratio of T specified time limit is set to 40%.
For example, suppose in specified time limit T, pushing F 1In whole compression number of 19 times before, being 2 times to the compression number of upper-side area 30H, is 9 times to the compression number that shows the corresponding region, is 8 times to the compression number of underside area 30L.At this moment, when having carried out pushing F 1The time, the compression number of underside area 30L is become 9 times, all compression number become 20 times, so the ratio of underside area 30L becomes 9/20 (45%), are judged as to have surpassed the regulation ratio.
Like this, when being judged as in step S45 when pushing of underside area 30L surpassed the regulation ratio, the 47c general-Y of direction identification portion direction is regarded as the touch location offset direction, and is set at correction mode I (step S46) by operation display control unit 47.
On the other hand, pushing of upper-side area 30H surpassed under the situation of regulation ratio, general+Y direction is regarded as the touch location offset direction, and is set at correction mode II (step S47).
In addition, in that pushing all of upper-side area 30H or underside area 30L do not surpassed under the situation of regulation ratio, do not set correction mode.
And, in step S45, judge pushing to upper-side area 30H or underside area 30L all above after the regulation ratio, after perhaps in step S46, S47, having set correction mode, (for example carry out based on the processing of the content of operation of the action button 30B that in step S43, is judged as operation, if be action button 30B2, then be " waiting doubly ") (step S48).
After this, judge whether to have passed through official hour and become dormant state (step S49).Under the situation that is judged as "No" of step S49,, then be back to step S41 in case occurred pushing next time at the appointed time.On the other hand, under the situation that is judged as "Yes" of step S49, if set correction mode then it is removed and end process.
Then, illustrate and passed through above-mentioned processing, in step S46, be set at correction mode I, and the situation after the processing of step S49 is back to the processing of step S41.
At first, in step S41, having under the situation of pushing on the touch panel 42, detecting and push coordinate (X 0, Y 0), for example for pushing F 2Situation under detect and push coordinate (41,57) (with reference to Figure 24).
And in step S42, owing to set correction mode, so it is judged as "Yes", enters step S50.
In step S50, judge the detected coordinate (X that pushes 0, Y 0) whether be in the Q of calibration object zone.For example, for pushing F 2Situation under, push coordinate (X 0, Y 0)=(41,57) be in the scope of calibration object zone Q, therefore enter step S51.
Under the situation that is judged as "Yes" of step S50, make the detected coordinate (X that pushes 0, Y 0) the Y coordinate add correction value alpha and it proofreaied and correct and be calibration coordinate (X 1, Y 1) (step S51).For example, under the situation that is set at correction mode I, if push F 2Push coordinate (X 0, Y 0)=(41,57), then correction value alpha for deducting the value 9 that obtains behind the Y coordinate 57 of pushing coordinate from Y coordinate 66 in the central authorities of the demonstration corresponding region 30M1 of+Y direction (reverse direction of touch location offset direction) demonstration.That is, make Y coordinate (Y 0) add corrected value 9 and it proofreaied and correct to be (X 0, Y 0+ α)=(41,66).
Push coordinate (X having proofreaied and correct by step S51 0, Y 0) afterwards, judge the calibration coordinate (X after proofreading and correct 1, Y 1) whether be in the scope of identified region 30K (step S43).As mentioned above, because according to making calibration coordinate (X 1, Y 1) belong to the mode that shows corresponding region 30M and set, therefore under the situation that is correction mode I, be judged as among the identified region 30K that is in top, if be correction mode II, then be judged as in the scope of the identified region 30K that is in the bottom.For example, if under the situation that is set at correction mode I, carry out push F 2, then be judged as in the scope that is in demonstration corresponding region 30M1 (identified region 30K1), and be judged as pair operation of action button 30B1.
And, when in step S43, being judged as "Yes", enter step S44.And, in step S44, be judged as "Yes", enter step S48.Like this, in step S48, carry out processing based on the content of operation of the action button 30B adjacent with top or bottom.For example, if under correction mode I, carry out push F 2, then carry out the operational processes " amplification " of action button 30B1.
Then, in step S49, when pushing next time in official hour, having occurred, under the state of having set correction mode, be back to step S41,, then remove correction mode and end process if do not push.
Under the situation that is judged as "No" of step S50, judging the detected coordinate (X that pushes 0, Y 0) whether be in the scope of certain identified region 30K after (step S43), under the situation that is judged as "Yes" of step S43, enter step S44, owing to set correction mode, therefore the judgement of step S44 also is a "Yes", carries out the processing (step S48) based on the content of operation of action button 30B2.
After in step S43, being judged as "No", and in step S48, carried out entering step S49 after the processing based on content of operation.
As mentioned above, according to the 5th embodiment, at first the 47c of direction identification portion assert with respect to the touch location offset direction that shows corresponding region 30M according to the touch location that the upper-side area 30H among the identified region 30K and underside area 30L are touched.And, make Y coordinate and correction value alpha addition so that in the Q of calibration object zone the detected coordinate (X that pushes 0, Y 0) become the coordinate in the scope of identified region 30K of action button 30B of an opposite side of touch location offset direction.
Thus, though user's touch location produced depart from and between mistakenly to the crack between the identified region 30K of adjacent action button 30B zone (calibration object zone Q) carried out under the situation of touch operation, also can be by the calibration coordinate (X after proofreading and correct 1, Y 1) and to thinking that the user wishes that the action button 30B that operates operates.
Promptly, even under the situation that the angle of inclination is improper for the user, touch location departs from (for example sawed-off user is the situation of having carried out operation under " acquiescence " state at touch panel 42) of touch panel 42, also can be by coordinate being proofreaied and correct the touch operation of assisted user, thus can operate image processing system freely and suitably.
In addition, in the above description, the situation of correction mode I has been described as an example, but has also carried out same processing under the situation of correction mode II.That is, pushing of upper-side area 30H surpassed under the situation of regulation ratio, in detecting calibration object zone Q, pushing coordinate (X 0, Y 0) time, make this push coordinate (X 0, Y 0) and the correction value alpha addition, so that push coordinate (X from this 0, Y 0) become the coordinate in the scope of immediate demonstration corresponding region 30M on-Y direction.
Thus, particularly can when touch panel 42 is " default conditions ", assist the higher user of height, prevent maloperation.
In addition, the different shape of Shuo Ming action processing sequence or each component parts or combination etc. are examples in the above-described embodiment, can be in the scope that does not break away from purport of the present invention wait according to designing requirement and carry out various changes.
For example, in the above-described embodiment, the resistive film mode has been described, but also can have replaced this resistive film mode and use the surface acoustic wave mode as touching test section 43.
In addition, in the above-described embodiment, the positive subject area Q of high-ranking officers is as the zone between the identified region 30K, but also can be amplified to the upper-side area 30H of adjacent action button 30B, part or all of underside area 30L.Promptly, under the situation that is correction mode I, can be amplified to part or all of upper-side area 30H (for example the upper-side area 30H2 of the action button 30B2 among Figure 24,30B3,30H3) of the action button 30B adjacent with the bottom, and under the situation that is correction mode II, can be amplified to underside area 30L (part or all of the underside area 30L1 of the action button 30B1 among Figure 24～30B3～30L3) for example of the action button 30B adjacent with top.Thus, even touch the upper-side area 30H of the adjacent action button 30B in the top of the action button 30B that operates with user view or the underside area 30L of the action button 30B adjacent, also can avoid maloperation with the bottom.
Equally, top or bottom can not existed the top of identified region 30K of action button 30B (for example action button 30B1 among Figure 23,24) of adjacent action button 30B or the zone of bottom to join among the Q of calibration object zone.
In addition, in the above-described embodiment, obtain correction value alpha according to the Y coordinate of the central authorities that show corresponding region 30M, but as long as calibration coordinate (X 1, Y 1) become in the scope that shows corresponding region 30M, also can decide by other method, perhaps also can use set value.And, need not fall into exactly in the scope that shows corresponding region 30M, the scope of identified region 30K is interior to get final product so long as be in.
In addition, variable-angle supporting device 1b need not be set.In the short and small touch panel in interval between reducedization of action button, action button, even also be easy to generate maloperation under the suitable situation at the angle of inclination for the user, therefore can use the present invention avoids such maloperation to touch panel.
In addition, in the above-described embodiment, the situation that applies the present invention to duplicating machine 400 has been described, but the present invention can be applied to also with touch panel as various image processing systems beyond the duplicating machine of operation display device or the various device beyond this image processing system.
In addition, in the above-described embodiment, control touch panel 42 or action button 46, but also can omit operation display control unit 47 by the control function that makes master control part 6 have operation display control unit 47 by operation display control unit 47.
