S100: process entry condition and determine

As shown in Figure 6, information processor 100 first determines whether to meet for starting control object The condition (S100) of the process of the display position of 212.For starting the display position of control object 212 The condition of the process put can be suitably arranged.Such as, finger locating is in sense side region Situation or from finger locating close to sense side region in through the scheduled time it may is that use Condition in the process of the display position starting control object 212.Additionally, such as, at display unit In the case of showing on 114 by arranging the on-screen keyboard that multiple key-likes become, can be defeated at execution key The process of the display position of fashionable execution control object 212 (such as key).

When starting to perform for selecting the operation of display object 212 on display unit 114 to input During operation, information processor 100 determines the display position met for starting control object 212 The condition processed, and start the process of step S110.On the other hand, when the most not When detecting as operation for the condition starting this process, repeat the process of step S100 until Operation detected.

The display position control of S110: object

When the process of the display position of control object 212 starts, according to finger relative to display surface Approximated position and change display position the mobile object 212 (S110) of object 212.As right As the controlled result in display position of 212, such as it is shown in fig. 7, the position of generating object group 210 That puts changes and the change of each object 212 position in the depth direction.

The control of the display position of object group

First, display control unit 130 on x/y plane in the relative direction of the moving direction of finger Mobile object group 210.Thus, object group 210 is moved for meeting the finger of movement and making Finger can touch desired object 212 with the little movement of finger.This is being performed behaviour by a hands It is particularly effective in the case of inputting, and compared with conventional situation, the finger of the hands held is permissible The number of the object 212 touched can increase.

It is discussed in greater detail the movement of object group 210, as shown in the state (A) of Fig. 8, to object Group 210 arranges reference position o (0,0).Based on this reference position, define from reference position o To distance df of finger and distance dc of the center P from reference position o to object group.Reference position Finger e.g. user for the first time can be placed on the position in object group 210 or pre-set by o Position.Additionally, as will be discussed later, can be according to the district with the low operation burden of user The relation in territory arranges reference position o.

It follows that as in the state (B) of Fig. 8, when user moves up hands in x-axis pros Referring to, object group 210 moves up at x-axis losing side.Hands now can be set the most as shown in Figure 9 The amount of movement df referred to and the amount of movement dc of object group 210.The amount of movement (df) of finger and object group The amount of movement (dc) of 210 is the most linear.When finger moves in the positive direction, object group 210 move in a negative direction.On the contrary, when finger moves in a negative direction, object group 210 exists Pros move up.Additionally, the movement for object group 210 arranges the limit (object amount of movement ultimate value) Allow to prevent that object group 210 has the part beyond framework.Such that make when finger is from benchmark Preset distance or farther distance are moved in position 0, and object group 210 also will not move and exceed object amount of movement Ultimate value.

The amount of movement (df) of finger and object group 210 can also be set the most as shown in Figure 10 Amount of movement (dc).In Fig. 10, dead band (dead zone) is set using reference position o as center. In the interval of the preset distance separated with reference position o (dead band) at finger, the shifting of object group 210 Momentum is less relative to the amount of movement of the finger situation than Fig. 9, say, that the movement of object group 210 It is little that the weight of amount is set.So, in the dead zone, even if when finger moves, object group 210 Only slightly react.By arranging dead band, it is possible to prevent when object group 210 according to finger at benchmark Movement near the o of position and when significantly moving, it is desirable to object 212 exceed the position of (pass) finger Put.By way of parenthesis, in the case of Figure 10 the most as in fig. 9, object amount of movement pole can be set Limit value allows to prevent that object group 210 has the part beyond framework.

What Fig. 9 and Figure 10 was exemplary shows amount of movement (df) and the shifting of object group 210 of finger Relation between momentum (dc), and the disclosure is not limited to such example.Such as, the movement of finger Relation between amount (df) and the amount of movement (dc) of object group 210 needs not to be linear relationship, and can Be arranged to the amount of movement (dc) of object group 210 along with the increase of the amount of movement (df) of finger and Index increases.

The control of the display position of object

Additionally, display control unit 130 arrives the degree of closeness of finger in z direction according to each object 212 Upper mobile object 212.Specifically, as it is shown in fig. 7, (such as, empty in the position closer to finger Quasi-distance) object 212 at place is displayed on more forward side, thus increases the close sound to finger (that is, the pseudo range between finger and object 212 should be reduced), and in the position farther away from finger The object 212 at place is displayed on more on rear side, thus reduces the close response to finger.Thus, In the way of being easily discernible, the object 212 received publicity can be presented to user.Object 212 is at z Displacement Z (index) on direction can be such as defined in equation 1 below.

Z (index)=fz (d (focus_index, index)) ... (equation 1)

Index represents the one number for identifying each object 212, d (focus_index, index) Represent the distance between object 212 and another object 212 just received publicity now.Equation 1 shows The depth function fz gone out can be set such that the object 212 closer to the object 212 received publicity It is displayed on position more forward.

Additionally, object 212 can also change size according to the position relationship with finger.Such as, exist Object 212 size closer to the position of finger increases, and the object of the position further from finger 212 sizes reduce.By so arranging the size of object 212, that can express finger is close Response, and prevent object 212 from falling into outside viewing area, namely it is moved to when object group 210 When the marginal portion of viewing area 200, prevent object 212 beyond beyond framework.

Specifically, size Size (index) of object 212 can be such as such as institute in equation 2 below Limit.Area function fs shown in equation 2 is configured substantially as so that closer to receiving publicity The object 212 of object 212 be shown as bigger size.

Size (index)=fs (d (focus_index, index)) ... (equation 2)

The relation controlled between operation burden of the display position of object group and object

Object group 210 and each object 212 is described according to finger above by reference to Fig. 7-10 The mobile movement carried out.Determine for object however, it is expected that bear according to operation as shown in Figure 3 The reference position o of the movement of group 210 and the amount of movement of finger as shown in figs. 9 and 10 And the relation between the amount of movement of object group 210.As shown in the left figure of Figure 11, information processing apparatus Put the viewing area 200 of 100 to perform the state of operation input according to user and be divided into high burden Region 200A and 200C and low burden region 200B.In this case, display control unit 130 Mobile object group 210 makes the object group 210 can low burden region 200B in viewing area 200 Interior operated, thus can be improved operability.

Specifically, as shown in the right figure of Figure 11, such as, reference position o is arranged on information processing The center of the low burden region 200B in the viewing area 200 of device 100.Then, finger Relation between the amount of movement of amount of movement and object group 210 is provided so that all of object group 210 Object 212 can be touched by finger movement in low burden region 200B.Based on device Shape and when operate device time hands and the layout of finger, consider region maneuverable for user, Can be by so arranging such as reference position o, the amount of movement of finger and the amount of movement of object group 210 Between relation etc. realize with low operation burden device.

By so arranging each parameter, as shown in figure 12, so that finger movement range comparison As the width of group 210 is less, and finger movement range can be contained in the region of low operation burden In.So, it is located relative to the object 212 of reference position o edge on the right when user view operation And when moving up finger to the right, position control is performed as so that object group 210 is to the left Move up so that the object 212 of edge can be touched in low burden region on the right.The opposing party Face, when user view operation is located relative to reference position o at the object 212 of left hand edge to the left When side moves up finger, position control is performed as so that object group 210 is moving up to the right So that the object 212 at left hand edge can be touched in low burden region.

S120: determine to exist and the most or not contacting of finger and display surface

Return to the description to Fig. 6, when carrying out control object group according to the movement of finger in step s 110 210 and during the display position of object 212, based on positional information, execution process portion 140 determines that finger is No touch display surface (S120).Execution process portion 140 performs the object touched with finger The function of 212 associations.To this end, according to positional information, execution process portion 140 determines that user is the most Make finger contact display surface to select the object 212 in object group 210.Repeat step S110 and The process of step S120, until finger touches display surface.

S130: for the determination of possible contact position correction

It follows that when execution process portion 140 determines that finger has touched display surface, at execution Reason portion 140 touches translational speed during display surface based on positional information acquisition finger, and determines Whether translational speed is more than predetermined speed (S130).Information processor 100 according to the present embodiment By identifying that user wants the object 212 operated more accurately to improve operability.In this situation Under, when the translational speed height of finger, being difficult to make finger contact exactly for a user to operate Object 212, and add the possibility occurrence of faulty operation.

Thus, in step s 130, it is thus achieved that the translational speed of finger, determine obtained finger Translational speed is higher than predetermined speed and thereby determines whether to be necessary that correction is by making finger connect Touch the object 212 selected by display surface.Specifically, when the translational speed of finger is higher than predetermined speed Time, information processor 100 determines the strong probability that there is faulty operation, and determining will be by correction institute The object 212 that the object 212 selected operates, and change the display position of object 212.

By way of parenthesis, it is being perpendicular to the aobvious of display unit 114 between display surface and finger when can obtain On the direction of presentation surface close to distance time, finger can be obtained by connecing in-plant time diffusion Translational speed.Additionally, be perpendicular to display unit when not obtaining between display surface and finger On the direction of the display surface of 114 close to distance time, execution process portion 140 can be examined by measurement Measure the finger of predetermined proximity state to touch time of being spent of display surface and obtain the shifting of this finger Dynamic speed.Specifically, execution process portion 140 can be by will be from display surface to detecting close to shape Distance d of the position of state obtains the shifting of finger divided by the time that finger touch display surface is spent Dynamic speed.

S140: perform the process corresponding with selected object

Assume as shown in figure 13, such as, move to finger inclined position above display surface Display surface, touch display surface and touch special object 212.Now, when the shifting of finger Dynamic speed is equal to or less than predetermined speed, it is believed that (such as, user is confirming object 212 to be operated Object 212 (b)) position when make finger contact.So, in this case, execution process portion The function (S140) that 140 objects 212 (b) performing to touch with finger associate.

S150: contact position correction process

On the other hand, when the translational speed of finger is more than predetermined speed, user may not confirm Contact finger in the case of the position of object 212 to be operated, and finger may contact fault Object 212.Thus, execution process portion 140 makes to arrange storage part 150 calibration object group 210 Display position makes the object 212 received publicity before finger touches display surface be chosen (S150)。

The history of the object 212 received publicity is stored in memorizer (not shown).Perform process Portion 140 is determined by query history will selected object 212.Such as, just at finger with in advance Constant speed degree or more speed move the object received publicity before can be configured so that will by correction quilt The object 212 selected.

Wanting selected object 212 after being determined by correction, execution process portion 140 makes display control unit 130 move object group 210 makes discussed object 212 be positioned at the position that finger touches.Such as Assuming in the example depicted in fig. 13, object 212 (a) wants selected object after being confirmed as correction. Now, when object 212 (b) display is in the position that finger touches, it is right that display control unit 130 moves As group 210, and it is corrected so that object 212 (a) is positioned at the position that finger touches.So, quilt Think that the object 212 to be selected by user is arranged on the selection state that can be visually detected In, thus user can perform operation input and not have any incongruity.Then, execution process portion 140 perform and the function (S140) wanting selected object 212 (a) to associate after correction.

It is described above the object that the information processor 100 according to the present embodiment carries out to show Position control processes.The display position control of such object processes the shifting according to the finger in proximity state The dynamic display position changing object group 210 and the object 212 of formation object group 210 so that Yong Huke Easily to predict possible phenomenon before operation object 212.Additionally, above-mentioned process display object 212 make object 212 near finger in proximity state.Such that make performing behaviour with a hands When making, it is also possible to be readily selected the object 212 to be operated.

Additionally, by changing object 212 at depth direction according to the position of the finger in proximity state On position, the object 212 that the most visually identification receives publicity.Additionally, by based on connect The relation of the position of the finger in nearly state arranges the ultimate value of the amount of movement of object group 210 and changes Become the size of object 212, be possible to prevent object group 210 to extend beyond viewing area 200.Thus can To prevent the decline of birds-eye view characteristic.
