Embodiment

< embodiment 1>

< structure >

With reference to Fig. 1, the schematic one-piece construction of the related map display of embodiment 1 is described.The purposes of map display is not particularly limited, but in embodiment below, imagination is mounted in as the on-vehicle navigation apparatus in the vehicle of moving body and describes.

As shown in Figure 1, map display comprises: the input display part 1 of holding concurrently, and this input display part 1 of holding concurrently plays the effect of the input part of accepting the operation input relevant with picture disply that user carries out simultaneously and multiple rendered frame is carried out to the effect of the display part of picture disply; Control part 4, the user's that this control part 4 receives according to the double display part 1 of input operation input is controlled the display action of mapping picture; And first information storage part 2 and the second information storage part 3, this first information storage part 2 and the second information storage part 3 carry out rendered object of action control time institute reference etc. and store to control part 4.

Rendered object is to be presented at the objects such as Road in rendered frame, word, landform, buildings, icon, background colour (can be transparent or semitransparent), attached information.As the background colour (background rendered object) being included in rendered object, be not defined as the object that scribbles same color, can be also the object of having implemented gradual change or carry out Local Coloring in rendered frame.

The double display part 1 of input is particularly for example realized by touch panel (with the display device of touch panel), accept the contact (touch) of user to display surface, and carry out the intention of analysis user according to touch location and action etc. on display surface.The operation of be envisioned for the operation comprising of user view shown map carried out, route searching instruction, built-in audio frequency apparatus etc. being carried out etc.The operation of map is referred to change (rolling), the current location periphery of the position on change, the shown map of such as engineer's scale information retrieval, this information relatively etc.

First information storage part 2 and the second information storage part 3 are stored the rendered object relevant with cartographic information etc.Particularly, to representing that the corresponding road data in position on map datum, this map of landform etc., buildings data (figure, shape), background colour data etc. store.The buildings data here refer to the data of the three-dimensional shape, kind, title etc. that represent buildings self.In addition, be stored in first information storage part 2 and be not limited to the rendered object relevant with cartographic information with the information in the second information storage part 3, can be to storing for other rendered object that is presented at the double display part 1 of input.

First information storage part 2 and the second information storage part 3 are particularly for example by realizations such as hard disk drive, storage card, DVD or Blu-ray Discs.

Each function part that control part 4 possesses map display is controlled, and makes to input double display part 1 and shows map rendered frame etc.As shown in Figure 1, control part 4, by the input message from user is analyzed, generates the required extraction conditions relevant with rendered object of mapping picture thereby form.For example, control part 4 is analyzed input message, if being intended to of user " information of retrieval periphery highway ", forms the condition of extracting the rendered object of Ordinary Rd of current location periphery and the rendered object of the highway of current location periphery.

And control part 4 extracts respectively rendered object based on this extraction conditions from first information storage part 2 and the second information storage part 3, make to input double display part 1 and show in desired mode.Control part 4 is particularly realized by computing machine (CPU) and program thereof.

Fig. 2 carries out to the schematic structure of the especially control part 4 in the structure of the map display shown in Fig. 1 the figure representing in detail.

Control part 4 comprises: to the input analysis portion 401 of analyzing from inputting the input message inputted of display part 1 of holding concurrently; Analysis result based on input analysis portion 401 is controlled and is made to input to first information drafting portion 403, the second information drafting portion 405 and synthetic drafting portion 407 display part 1 of holding concurrently and shows the overall control part 402 of map rendered frame etc.; To being stored in the rendered object i.e. first information drafting portion 403 of the first rendered frame of rendered frame that the first rendered object extracted and drew in the first rendered frame storage unit 404 this first rendered object in first information storage part 2; To being stored in rendered object i.e. the second information drafting portion 405 of the second rendered frame of rendered frame that the second rendered object extracted and drew in the second rendered frame storage unit 406 this second rendered object in the second information storage part 3; The first rendered frame storage unit 404 that the first rendered frame is preserved; The second rendered frame storage unit 406 that the second rendered frame is preserved; Synthetic rendered frame after the first rendered frame and the second rendered frame is synthetic is plotted in the synthetic drafting portion 407 in synthetic rendered frame storage unit 408; And the synthetic rendered frame storage unit 408 that the synthetic rendered frame being generated by synthetic drafting portion 407 is preserved.The synthetic rendered frame that synthetic rendered frame storage unit 408 is preserved is presented at input and holds concurrently in display part 1.

Input analysis portion 401 is analyzed the input message relevant with user view., the condition such as position, action that rendered frame displaying contents and user are touched on display surface is analyzed, and the operation (equipment operating etc.) that meets user view is identified.Here, the operation of user's touch panel comprises the simple touch operation (conventionally touching operation) in the past only icon being touched and has mobile " gesture operation " i.e. " drag operation " described later, " skip operation " etc.

In overall control part 402, determine required rendered object based on this analysis result, make first information drafting portion 403 from first information storage part 2, extract the first rendered object, make the 2nd information drafting portion 405 extract the second rendered object from the 2nd information storage part 3.

First information drafting portion 403 forms the first rendered frame according to the first extracted rendered object, and is plotted in the first rendered frame storage unit 404 (storage part).This drafting is by combining the map datum in the first rendered object extracting, road data and buildings data etc. to realize.

The second information drafting portion 405 forms the second rendered frame according to the second extracted rendered object, and is plotted in the second rendered frame storage unit 406 (storage part).This drafting is by combining the map datum in the second rendered object extracting, road data and buildings data etc. to realize.

In first information drafting portion 403 and the second information drafting portion 405, also can by the current location data of such as vehicle, by route searching move obtain till the information generating in the devices such as the path data of vehicle destination is added respectively the mapping picture (the first rendered frame, the second rendered frame) forming to, and be plotted in corresponding rendered frame storage unit.

In addition, entirety control part 402 synthesizes with the second rendered frame being kept in the second rendered frame storage unit 406 the first rendered frame being kept in the first rendered frame storage unit 404 by synthesizing drafting portion 407, and is plotted in synthetic rendered frame storage unit 408 (storage part).Synthetic rendered frame, after being preserved by synthetic rendered frame storage unit 408, is presented at input and holds concurrently in display part 1.

Synthesize drafting portion 407 and preserve the first rendered frame and the second rendered frame drafting content separately, and synthesize in the mode of whole or local overlapping demonstration under this state, thereby generate synthetic rendered frame.In the part of the first rendered frame and the overlapping demonstration of the second rendered frame, owing to being positioned at the rendered object of rendered frame of lap upside and having blocked the rendered object of the rendered frame of downside, therefore become the state that only can see the rendered object of upside.But, if rendered frame overlapping degree is each other controlled and eliminated overlapping, can change the state of the rendered object of the rendered frame that can see downside into.In addition, alleged " up and down " refers to normal direction upper and lower of display surface here, the side in face of more close be made as " on ", but be actually, the data of rendered frame are schematically superposeed.

The first rendered frame of synthesized and the second rendered frame can have respectively the first focus, the second focus.

First focus here and the second focus refer to the point of user's special concern in rendered frame, by user with reference to the first rendered frame and the second rendered frame the two time subjectively define the point as comparison other.For example, can be equivalent to the point as the generation object of rendered frame such as the current location of the vehicle in the peripheral map of vehicle, destination locations in the peripheral map of destination.

The first rendered object and the second rendered object can have the relevance of regulation.For example can enumerate the situation of following regulation relevance, that is, the first rendered frame shows the map of the geographic range of regulation, and the second rendered frame shows near the map of the geographic range identical or with the first rendered frame.In addition, also have the relevance on following mobile route, that is, the first rendered frame shows this truck position periphery, and the second rendered frame is shown to the path till destination.In addition, also there is the current travel of same vehicle and this temporal relevance of running history in the past.

The overlapping order of mapping picture can according to user's intention, for example, be determined according to the combination of each rendered object.Now, if show with the upper and lower relation that is similar to real space configuration, more easily hold.For example, the rendered frame that shows overpass is overlapped in the rendered frame that shows Ordinary Rd.In addition, the rendered frame that explicitly goes up map is overlapped in the rendered frame of explicitly playing map.In addition, overlapping order can change at any time.

< elemental motion >

Then, the summary of the action to the related map display of embodiment 1 describes.

Map display involved in the present invention can carry out overlapping demonstration to multiple mapping pictures.And, owing to operating to upgrade the overlapping degree of mapping picture according to user, therefore user can compare the rendered object of the mapping picture of the rendered object of the mapping picture of upside and downside, thereby can easily grasp both relation property.In the time carrying out these actions, the especially overall control part 402 of control part 4 carries out the control of each function part.

The concrete grammar of the predetermined operation that the display position that in the following description, uses sliding method to be used as the mapping picture to overlapping top upgrades.Below sliding method is described, but be referred to as the method for the display position continuous moving that makes rendered frame.

With reference to Fig. 3, the concrete action of map display is described.

First in step ST10, connect the power supply of map display, in display part 1 is held concurrently in input, show initial picture.Initial picture adopts the common display mode of accepting common touch operation.

Then in step ST11, user, in the double shown fixed operation of the enterprising professional etiquette of initial picture of display part 1 of input, is changed slip display mode into.Slip display mode is the pattern that can to inputting the gesture operation that carries out of display part 1 of holding concurrently, the mapping picture of upside be slided by user.The modification of display mode is as undertaken by touching operation, push-botton operation, icon operation, gesture operation, audio frequency input etc.

Entirety control part 402 stores the parameter that the kind of display mode is stored, and by with reference to this parameter, can determine whether the display mode that slides.For example, the threshold value that is greater than or is less than regulation according to the value of parameter determines whether the display mode that slides.This parameter can operate to set by users such as such as icon operation, audio frequency inputs, also can under predefined condition (comprising the show state on vehicle-state, display surface), automatically change.In addition, also can be in the display frame of display part 1 be held concurrently in input display icon etc., whether be slip display mode thereby user can be observed.

Switch to after slip display mode, in step ST12, sliding distance X0 is set as to 0.

Then in step ST13, generate the first rendered frame and the second rendered frame.This generation is described above, carries out in first information drafting portion 403 and the second information drafting portion 405 according to user's input message.The first rendered frame generating is drawn and is kept in the first rendered frame storage unit 404, the second rendered frame is drawn and is kept in the second rendered frame storage unit 406.

Then in step ST14, whether detection has carried out the slide that the display position of the mapping picture above overlapping is upgraded.The gesture operation that input analysis portion 401 is held concurrently on display part 1 in input to user is analyzed, thereby detects slide.

Then in step ST15, upgrade sliding distance X0 based on slide.

Then in step ST16, the rendered object being presented in the first rendered frame and the second rendered frame is upgraded.This renewal is for example the corresponding variation of information changing in variation, the variation of block information etc. and the moment of the movement to escort vehicle and the displaying contents that changes.

Then in step ST17, determine the display position of the mapping picture that overlaps top according to sliding distance X0, and generate synthetic rendered frame according to the first rendered frame and the second rendered frame.Then, in display part 1 is held concurrently in input, draw and show synthetic rendered frame.About details, will set forth in the back.

Then in step ST18, judge by overall control part 402 whether input analysis portion 401 detects the predetermined operation that finishes slip display mode.If this operation detected, enter step ST19, if this operation do not detected, turn back to step ST14.The end of slip display mode for example can be undertaken by touching operation, push-botton operation, icon operation, gesture operation, audio identification etc.

Then in step ST19, change common display mode into, turn back to step ST11.

< plate slip (board slide) >

Then the details of the step ST17, with reference to Fig. 4～Fig. 7, synthetic drafting portion 407 being carried out describes.In this step, generate synthetic rendered frame, the situation that the mode that the state (overlap condition completely) overlapping from the second rendered frame whole the first rendered frame is slided with plate skids off the second rendered frame describes.Here, plate slides and refers to rendered object and the sliding type that slides and move to glide direction in linkage.In addition, by the state overlapping each other from rendered frame, the action that makes the rendered frame of upside move and shift out to display surface is called and skids off, will make whole rendered frame be moved out to state outside display surface to be called completely and to skid off by skidding off.In addition,, if be conceived to and the complete nonoverlapping state of another rendered frame, also will skid off completely and be called complete shift state.

In addition, in this instructions, the second mapping picture is made as upside by unification, the first mapping picture is made as to downside and describes, but also can conversely.

First,, in the step ST411 of Fig. 4, the first rendered frame being kept in the first rendered frame storage unit 404 is plotted in synthetic rendered frame storage unit 408.

Then in step ST412, determine the lap position of the second rendered frame with respect to the first rendered frame according to the sliding distance X0 upgrading by slide.Fig. 5 and Fig. 6 have schematically shown the synthetic method that is presented at the display position of the rendered object in the rendered frame rendered frame when different.

In the time that sliding distance X0 is 0, the first rendered frame and the second rendered frame are completely overlapping, the position of the second rendered object in the first rendered object is blocked completely.In the situation that having set focus, preferably the first focus of the first rendered frame is arranged on to position overlapping and consistent in display surface with the second focus of the second rendered frame.; have the peripheral map of vehicle in the case of shown in the first rendered frame and the second rendered frame; preferably make the current location of vehicle in each rendered frame in consistent position (now, the first focus and the position of the second focus on display surface are common).

In the time that sliding distance X0 is updated to beyond 0, according to based on user for example touching the position of display surface in gesture operation, the sliding distance X0 of action determines the lap position of the second rendered frame and the first rendered frame.

The gesture operation that upgrades the user of sliding distance X0 comprises drag operation, shutter operation, skip operation.

Drag operation makes the finger that touches display surface keep the state touching the gesture operation moving to prescribed direction to realize by user, and rendered frame can be followed this gesture operation and be moved.If user carries out drag operation, the second rendered frame is offset to the moving direction of finger with respect to the lap position of the first rendered frame, and side-play amount is the displacement (the sliding distance X0 in Fig. 5 and Fig. 6) of finger.In the case of carrying out to right-hand drag operation, be overlapping starting position by the left end from the first rendered frame to the right-hand location positioning that leaves sliding distance X0.In addition, the pattern that generates synthetic rendered frame by drag operation is called to the pattern of dragging.

Before next gesture operation, rest on the position after slip because dragging the second rendered frame that the drag operation of pattern slides.On the other hand, also can be after user carries out drag operation and after finger leaves display surface, the second rendered frame is got back to the lap position before drag operation.The slide of this situation is called to shutter operation and differentiates with drag operation, and the pattern that generates synthetic rendered frame by shutter operation is called to shutter mode.

User can select which pattern that icon etc. is set in the pattern that drags and shutter mode to carry out slide in advance, also can be detected to distinguish to radical, the variation of finger pressure etc. of the finger that touches display surface by input analysis portion 401.

The finger that skip operation touches display surface by utilization is beaten and is flown the such action of playing card (action that attack is such) and realize.If user carries out skip operation, make the second rendered frame be offset the distance corresponding with skip operation with respect to the lap position of the first rendered frame to the direction of skip operation.In the situation that carrying out to right-hand drag operation, be overlapping starting position by the left end since the first rendered frame to the right-hand location positioning that leaves sliding distance X0.Here, sliding distance X0 (with reference to Fig. 5, Fig. 6) is different from the amount pattern of dragging, that together increase with the time, and therefore, the second rendered frame, to right-hand slip, finally skids off completely.The rendered frame that makes to overlap top as this operation is called to skip operation to operated the operation that specified direction moves, moves along with the inertia of regulation afterwards by the touch specifying, and the pattern of carrying out this operation is called to skipped mode.

In skipped mode, for example utilize condition, combination below to judge skip operation.(a) after touch panel is touched, the situation that finger moves rapidly to a direction on display surface with speed more than fixing speed, (b) pressing after touch panel, reduce pressing force, the situation that finger moves rapidly to a direction on display surface with speed more than predetermined fixing speed, (c) after touch panel is touched, finger moves rapidly to a direction on display surface with speed more than predetermined fixing speed, then finger leave slightly touch panel situation (but, in this situation, need to identify the touch panel of three-dimensional position).

In addition, the skip operation of condition (a) comes to differentiate with drag operation by the translational speed of finger.In addition, (a)～speed of being set as fixing speed in (c) can be according to each condition and difference.

Then in step ST413, according to lap position definite in step ST412, particularly, according to overlapping starting position, by the second rendered frame and the first rendered frame is overlapping draws (cover data).For example, in the case of skidding off to the right side of display surface, overlapping and draw in the left end of the second rendered frame mode consistent with overlapping starting position.

Be not presented in display surface with the region (P2 of Fig. 5 and Fig. 6) of overlapping the second rendered frame of the first rendered frame., by the first rendered object of the sliding distance X0 width of underlapped second rendered frame of the first rendered frame, be presented in display surface with second rendered object (P1 Fig. 5 and Fig. 6) of the part (part right-hand member beyond X0 width) of the width D 1 from the second rendered frame left end of the second rendered frame.

By carrying out successively the generation of synthetic rendered frame as described above, thereby can carry out skidding off of the employing plate slip shown in Fig. 7.In Fig. 7, second rendered frame of having drawn rendered object a, rendered object b, rendered object c, the second background rendered object is superimposed upon in first rendered frame of having drawn rendered object A, rendered object B, rendered object C, the first background rendered object.Suppose the first focus of the first rendered frame to be made as rendered object A, the second focus of the second rendered frame is made as to rendered object a.The first background rendered object and the second background rendered object are for example to paint milky rectangular object with the measure-alike size of rendered frame.On the second background rendered object of the second rendered frame, draw and have rendered object a, rendered object b, rendered object c.

In Fig. 7, (1a), (2a), (3a) be schematic diagram when direction is observed the first rendered frame of downside and the second rendered frame of upside from the side, (1b), (2b), (3b) be the schematic diagram while observing the first rendered frame and the second rendered frame from end face direction.

User is with the finger touch input display part 1 of holding concurrently, and the state that keeps touching makes finger to the right-hand movement (drag operation) in figure.So the overlapping starting position of the second rendered frame of upside is upgraded (1a → 2a → 3a, or 1b → 2b → 3b) successively, the second rendered frame entirety moves to the right and shows in the mode of sliding along with plate., rendered object a, b, c move to the right in the mode of following plate.

Under (1a) and state (1b), the first rendered frame and the second rendered frame are completely overlapping, and rendered object A, B, C are blocked by the second background rendered object.In addition, in the time that the second rendered frame with respect to the first rendered frame is less picture, as long as be equivalent to overlapping the second rendered frame on the big or small region of the second rendered frame in the first rendered frame.

Under (2a) and state (2b), rendered object a and rendered object b are presented on the display surface of the double display part 1 of input, and the rendered object c of the rightmost side, beyond display surface, is not shown.On the other hand, rendered object A is shown, not shown but rendered object B, C are blocked by the second background rendered object.In the situation that being set with focus, the first focus is that rendered object A and the second focus are that rendered object a shows comparatively approachingly, therefore easily grasps the relation property (also with reference to Fig. 6) of two rendered objects.In addition, now, the relative position relation of the second rendered frame of upside and the first rendered frame of downside changes in time.

Under (3a) and state (3b), the second rendered frame of upside further moves right, and rendered object b also exceeds the display surface of the double display part 1 of input, shown.On the other hand, rendered object A and rendered object B are shown, not shown but rendered object C is blocked by the second background rendered object.In addition, now, the relative position relation of the second rendered frame of upside and the first rendered frame of downside can change at any time.

Then, with reference to Fig. 8～Figure 10, the generation of the synthetic rendered frame slipping into that has used plate sliding type is described.In this situation, in original state, mapping picture is completely not overlapping (shift state completely) each other, and the second rendered frame starts mobile from display surface, overlapping with the first rendered frame gradually, finally reaches complete overlap condition.

First,, in step ST431, the first rendered frame being kept in the first rendered frame storage unit 404 is plotted in synthetic rendered frame storage unit 408.

Then in step ST432, determine the lap position of the second rendered frame and the first rendered frame according to the sliding distance X0 upgrading by slide.Fig. 9 and Figure 10 have schematically shown when the synthetic method that is presented at the display position of the rendered object in the rendered frame rendered frame when different.

In the time that sliding distance X0 is 0, determine lap position, make the second rendered frame completely outside display surface.

Beyond sliding distance X0 is updated to 0 time, determine lap position according to the sliding distance X0 based on user's gesture operation.

In the situation that being set with focus, be preferably the lap position of determining the second rendered frame and the first rendered frame by more newly arriving of sliding distance X0, make the first focus in the first rendered frame mutually close with the second focus in the second rendered frame.

Then in step ST433, according to lap position, particularly, come overlapping and draw the second rendered frame according to overlapping starting position.For example, in the situation that slipping into from display surface left side, overlapping and draw in the right-hand member of the second rendered frame mode consistent with overlapping starting position.

Not overlapping with the first rendered frame part (P1 in Fig. 9 and Figure 10) is not presented in display surface.Under this state, the first rendered object of the width D 1 of underlapped second rendered frame of the first rendered frame, be presented on display surface with second rendered object (P2 of Fig. 9, Figure 10) of sliding distance X0 from the second rendered frame right-hand member the part of the second rendered frame.

Then with reference to Figure 11～Figure 13, right-hand the slipping into that adopts plate sliding type described.In this situation, the second rendered frame is from the export-oriented right-hand movement of display surface, overlapping with the first rendered frame.

First,, in step ST441, the first rendered frame being kept in the first rendered frame storage unit 404 is plotted in synthetic rendered frame storage unit 408.

Then in step ST442, determine the lap position of the second rendered frame and the first rendered frame according to the sliding distance X0 upgrading by slide.Figure 12 and Figure 13 have schematically shown when the synthetic method that is presented at the display position of the rendered object in the rendered frame rendered frame when different.

In the time that sliding distance X0 is 0, determine that lap position is the second rendered frame position outside display surface completely.Here be outside the display surface with the situation opposition side (right side) shown in Fig. 9, Figure 10.

Beyond sliding distance X0 is updated to 0 time, determine the lap position of the second rendered frame and the first rendered frame according to the sliding distance X0 based on the related user's gesture operation of this renewal.

Then in step ST443, according to lap position, particularly, be plotted in the first rendered frame overlapping the second rendered frame according to overlapping starting position.For example, in the case of from the right side of display surface is slipped into, overlapping and draw in the left end of the second rendered frame mode consistent with overlapping starting position.

Not overlapping with the first rendered frame part (P2 in Figure 12, Figure 13) is not presented in display surface.Under this state, the first rendered object of the width D 1 of underlapped second rendered frame of the first rendered frame, be presented on display surface with second rendered object (P1 in Figure 12, Figure 13) of sliding distance X0 from the second rendered frame left end the part of the second rendered frame.Here, the left and right of Fig. 9, Figure 10 is put in order exchange show.

The action of above plate being slided is illustrated, but can consider to carry out various variations for the mode of motion of the mapping picture of direction, the slip of sliding etc.

< curtain slip >

Then, with reference to Figure 14～Figure 16, the generation (the step ST17 of Fig. 3) of the synthetic rendered frame that has used curtain slip is described.Here, curtain slip refers to fixes the display position of rendered object, makes viewing area change continuously the sliding type of (increase or reduce) simultaneously.Especially the second rendered frame of upside is described to the right-hand situation about skidding off of display surface from complete overlap condition.

In addition, which kind of sliding type generating synthetic rendered frame with can distinguish by the mode of user's gesture operation, also can preset according to the combination of shown map.

First,, in step ST421, the first rendered frame being kept in the first rendered frame storage unit 404 is plotted in synthetic rendered frame storage unit 408.

Then in step ST422, determine the lap position of the second rendered frame with respect to the first rendered frame according to the sliding distance X0 upgrading by slide.

In the time that sliding distance X0 is 0, the first rendered frame and the second rendered frame are completely overlapping, determine lap position, make the second rendered object block the first rendered object completely.In the situation that having set focus, be preferably definite lap position, make the first focus of the first rendered frame and the second focus of the second rendered frame overlapping and consistent in display surface.That is, the in the situation that of vehicle-surroundings map being shown in the first rendered frame and the second rendered frame, be preferably definite lap position, make the current location of vehicle in each rendered frame consistent.

Beyond sliding distance X0 is updated to 0 time, determine the lap position of the second rendered frame and the first rendered frame according to the sliding distance X0 of the gesture operation based on user.

Dragging in pattern, user is touched to display surface and mobile distance (the sliding distance X0 in Figure 15) is set overlapping starting position as skew.

In shutter mode, set similarly overlapping starting position, but for the situation of shutter mode, when user touches the EO of display surface, make lap position post-equalization.

In skipped mode, using the amount (the sliding distance X0 in Figure 15 increased along with the time) increasing in time as skew, set the overlapping starting position of the second rendered frame.

Then in step ST423, according to lap position, particularly, be plotted in the first rendered frame overlapping the second rendered frame according to overlapping starting position.In the situation that the second rendered frame skids off to display surface right side, come overlapping and draw in the removed left end of the second rendered frame mode consistent with overlapping starting position., from the picture left end of the second rendered frame, be offset the position, consistent with overlapping starting position of sliding distance X0.

In the second rendered frame, the part (P1 of Figure 15) of removing from the first rendered frame is not presented on display surface.Under this state, the first rendered object of the sliding distance X0 width of underlapped second rendered frame of the first rendered frame, being D1 part with the width from the second rendered frame right-hand member of the second rendered frame, the second rendered object (P2 of Figure 15) is presented on display surface.

By carrying out successively the generation of synthetic rendered frame as described above, thereby can carry out the action shown in Figure 16 (adopting skidding off of curtain sliding type).In Figure 16, second rendered frame of having drawn rendered object a, rendered object b, rendered object c, the second background rendered object is superimposed upon in first rendered frame of having drawn rendered object A, rendered object B, rendered object C, the first background rendered object.Suppose the first focus of the first rendered frame to be made as rendered object B, the second focus of the second rendered frame is made as to rendered object b.The first background rendered object and the second background rendered object are for example to paint milky rectangular object with the measure-alike size of rendered frame.On the second background rendered object of the second rendered frame, draw and have rendered object a, rendered object b, rendered object c.

In Figure 16, (1a), (2a), (3a) be schematic diagram when direction is observed the first rendered frame of downside and the second rendered frame of upside from the side, (1b), (2b), (3b) be the schematic diagram while observing the first rendered frame and the second rendered frame from end face direction.

User holds concurrently in display part 1 to the right-hand drag operation that carries out of Figure 16 in input.So, the overlapping starting position of the second rendered frame of upside is upgraded (1a → 2a → 3a successively, or 1b → 2b → 3b), the second rendered frame maintains the display position of rendered object, slides and shows (curtain slip) continuously simultaneously in the mode of pull-out curtain.

Under (1a) and state (1b), the first rendered frame and the second rendered frame are in complete overlap condition, and rendered object A, rendered object B, rendered object C are blocked by the second background rendered object respectively.In addition, when the second rendered frame is than the first rendered frame hour, need only overlapping the second rendered frame on the big or small region that is equivalent to the second rendered frame in the first rendered frame.

Under (2a) and state (2b), rendered object b and rendered object c are presented on the display surface of the double display part 1 of input, and the rendered object a of the leftmost side is shown.On the other hand, rendered object A is shown, not shown but rendered object B, C are blocked by the second background rendered object.In addition, now, the relative position relation of the second rendered frame of upside and the first rendered frame of downside remains unchanged., the first focus is consistent all the time on display surface with the second focus.

Under (3a) and state (3b), the second rendered frame of upside is till right-handly further removed, and rendered object b is also removed from the display surface of inputting the display part 1 of holding concurrently, thereby shown.On the other hand, rendered object A and rendered object B are shown, not shown but rendered object C is blocked by the second background rendered object.In the situation that being set with focus, being on the removed position of rendered object b, to show that the first focus is rendered object B at the second focus, thereby easily grasping the relation property (also with reference to Figure 15) of two rendered objects.In addition, now, the relative position relation of the second rendered frame of upside and the first rendered frame of downside remains unchanged.

In addition, suppose that the second background rendered object is that monochromatic milky is illustrated, but in Figure 16, as near rendered object a near milky, rendered object c for applied gradual change pink in the situation that, (1a), the rendering context look of (2a), (3a) is close to peach color.

In curtain as implied above slides, in the case of not changing the display position of the second rendered object, pass through second rendered frame of sliding, thereby change the visible range of the first rendered frame of downside.Here be illustrated to the right-hand example skidding off of display surface utilizing curtain to slide, but glide direction is not limited to up and down single direction like that, as long as slide radially centered by user's touch location.In addition, also can consider to make the second rendered frame flicker or various variations such as demonstration of being fade-in fade-out in the time sliding.

In addition,, in the sliding method shown in above, no matter user can carry out slide to showing the operations such as which region, place of the second rendered frame touches, but also can limit the indication range of the second rendered frame of accepting slide.For example, can only the near zone on the border in the first rendered frame in the indication range of the second rendered frame be made as to the region of accepting slide.

In addition, also can utilize icon etc. to show the region of accepting slide.In this situation, drag operation, skip operation and simple touch operate related common transition of operation and can and deposit and be accepted, thereby can provide usability to install preferably.

In addition, in above-mentioned example, the second background rendered object is made as and the milky rectangular object of rendered frame formed objects.But the shape of background rendered object is not limited to rectangle, can be also trapezoidal, oval or object with holes.In addition, the color of background rendered object is not limited to light color, as long as gradual change or drawn figure, just can provide design good demonstration.

In addition, in above-mentioned example, supposing that the first rendered object and the second rendered object are stored in respectively in first information storage part 2, the second information storage part 3 is illustrated, but also can generate this two rendered objects or one of them rendered object by software processing by overall control part 402.For example, this truck position mark etc. can utilize program to generate by overall control part 402.In addition, also can utilize software processing to generate two background rendered objects or one of them background rendered object by overall control part 402.

In addition, in above-mentioned example, illustrated by the rendered object of rectangle to be that background rendered object is presented on the method in rendered frame, but the generation method of background rendered object is not limited to the method.For example, generate while being equivalent to the function of background colour of background rendered object when rendered frame itself has, overall control part 402 can be set by software processing the background colour of the first rendered frame storage unit and the second rendered frame storage unit.

In addition,, if on the basis of hardware configuration or software processing, the background colour of inputting and generate the first rendered frame and the second rendered frame by synthetic drafting portion 407 is set, and can process to set background colour separately by software by overall control part 402.

In addition, the rendered object in this instructions also comprises above-mentioned such demonstration thing being finally presented in the double display part 1 of input of processing by software.

< icon shows >

If the second rendered frame reaches the complete shift state of previous definition with respect to the first rendered frame, in whole display frame, show the first rendered frame.Under this state, on whole, show the first rendered frame thereby user cannot directly judge that the second rendered frame skids off completely, or the second rendered frame in the state of the overlapping demonstration of whole the first rendered frame.

For this reason, in the situation that the second rendered frame skids off completely, making user identify current display frame by show state icon in the first rendered frame is the first rendered frame.

In Status icons, except representing to have or not and skid off, also can represent in the lump whether current display mode is the out of Memory such as sliding-modes.

In addition, also can in the first rendered frame, show for making the second rendered frame from skidding off the recovery icon of recovering state to the operation of virgin state.

Figure 17 shows overlapping demonstration and the display frame of the second rendered frame of the POI map of the identical geographic range of the first rendered frame in the first rendered frame of display plane map.User's second rendered frame of can sliding as required, thus in sliding scale, remove POI map, instead display plane map.

Now, suppose that user carries out skip operation, the second rendered frame is skidded off to the right-hand of display frame.So, as shown in figure 17, show the demonstration information of icon as the first rendered frame of recovering.User sees recovery icon, thereby grasps the current state skidding off that is in of the second rendered frame.By further pressing recovery icon, thereby can make the second rendered frame turn back to because of the position of skip operation before skidding off.

In addition, Figure 17 for convenience of explanation and different diagram of color of hypothesis the first background rendered object and the second background rendered object, but is not limited to this.

Figure 18, Figure 19 show the process flow diagram of above-mentioned action.Figure 18 represents the process flow diagram of map display for the action of incoming event.

In Figure 18, (step ST700) judged in the end that overall control part 402 is processed.For example, in the situation that having been inputted regulation instruction or installation's power source by user and closing, be judged to be processing and finish.

If be "No" in step ST700, input analysis portion 401 and judge in the double display part 1 of input whether have incoming event (step ST701).Here, incoming event refers to the gesture operation that the user such as selection of drag operation, skip operation or picture carries out the touch panel of the display part 1 of holding concurrently as input.

If there is no incoming event, turn back to step ST700, and the end of processing is judged.If there is incoming event, input analysis portion 401 and judge whether this incoming event is the incoming event (step ST702) for the second rendered frame.Judge it is the incoming event for which rendered frame according to the touch location on touch panel, in the time that user touches the display position of the second rendered frame, being judged to be is the incoming event for the second rendered frame.Equally, in the time that user touches the display position of the first rendered frame, being judged to be is the incoming event for the first rendered frame, but the recovery icon showing in the first rendered frame is while being touched, and being judged to be is exceptionally the incoming event for the second rendered frame.

If for the incoming event (being "Yes" in step ST702) of the second rendered frame, the second rendered frame is carried out to corresponding processing (step ST703).Afterwards, the first rendered frame is carried out to the processing (step ST704) corresponding with incoming event for the second rendered frame.For example, the incoming event that makes the second rendered frame slip in existence, change the processing of engineer's scale etc. according to the variation of the first rendered frame display area.

If for the incoming event (being "No" in step ST702) of the first rendered frame, the first rendered frame is carried out to the processing corresponding with incoming event (step ST705).Afterwards, the second rendered frame is carried out to the processing (step ST706) corresponding with incoming event for the first rendered frame.For example, in the case of the map displaying ratio chi that has changed the first rendered frame, change in linkage therewith the processing of the map displaying ratio chi of the second rendered frame etc.

In above-mentioned example, according to the event for a rendered frame, another image displaying contents also produces interlock, but this depends on predetermined sequence of operation, and another image displaying contents might not be according to changing for the event of a rendered frame., step ST704 and step ST706 nonessential.

Figure 19 is the process flow diagram that represents the details of the processing (the step ST703 of Figure 18) corresponding with incoming event for the second rendered frame.In Figure 19, first, input analysis portion 401 is analyzed incoming event, judges the kind (step ST720) of gesture.

If judge in step ST720, whether incoming event is to select operation, judge in the first rendered frame and show and recover icon (step ST721).In addition, select operation to refer to the action that touch panel is once touched.

If recovery icon is show state (being "Yes" in step ST721), be judged as the second rendered frame to have skidded off, user has selected recovery icon.So synthetic drafting portion 407 makes the second rendered frame overlapping and be plotted in the first rendered frame, thereby makes the second rendered frame return to (step ST723) on display surface.

If do not show and recover icon (step ST721 is "No"), to selecting the predetermined processing of action executing (step ST722).For example, in the situation that the second rendered frame has shown POI map, show the actions such as the related information in selected place.

If judge in step ST720, incoming event is drag operation, synthetic drafting portion 407 according to drawing direction, drag length and generate the synthetic rendered frame making after the second rendered frame is slided, and upgrade and show in display part 1 is held concurrently in input.(step ST724).

If judge in step ST720, incoming event is skip operation, synthesize drafting portion 407 and generate the synthetic rendered frame making after the second rendered frame slide guage set a distance according to redirect direction, and upgrade demonstration (step ST725) in display part 1 is held concurrently in input.Repeating step ST725, until the second rendered frame skids off completely, if be judged as completely and skid off in step ST726, shows and recovers icon (step ST727) in the first rendered frame end.Here, first information drafting portion 403 obtains rendered object from first information storage part 2, and rendered object based on getting is plotted to the first new rendered frame in the first rendered frame storage unit 404.Then, synthesize drafting portion 407 and utilize the first new rendered frame to synthesize drafting, thereby in the first rendered frame, show recovery icon.

In addition, in step ST727, the display position that recovers icon is not limited to picture end, may be displayed on the optional position on picture.But, if by recover icon be presented at the second rendered frame skid off the corresponding picture end of direction, user can learn according to the position of recovering icon the direction that skids off of the second rendered frame.; thereby fly out skid off completely in the situation that to picture is right-hand in the second rendered frame; show and recover icon at the right-hand member of the first rendered frame, thereby fly out skid off completely in the situation that to picture left in the second rendered frame, show and recover icon at the left end of the first rendered frame.

Figure 20 (a) shows and overlappingly in the first rendered frame of plane map that shows road shows the display frame obtaining with the second rendered frame of the relief map of the identical geographic range of the first rendered frame.Figure 20 (b), (c) show that user touches the second rendered frame and to the right-hand state that carries out slide.The second rendered frame is skidded off with plate sliding type, and in the region of having removed the second rendered frame the rendered object of display plane map.Figure 20 (d) shows the state that the second rendered frame skids off completely, and shows recovery icon at the right-hand member of the first rendered frame.

< labeling (thread) shows >

Cannot grasp the second rendered frame for fear of user and whether skid off such problem, can make the regulation end of the second rendered frame overlapping with the first rendered frame all the time.For convenience of explanation, sometimes the regulation end of the second rendered frame and the overlapping state of the first rendered frame are called to complete shift state below.

Figure 21 shows and overlappingly in the first rendered frame of display plane map shows the display frame obtaining with the second rendered frame of the POI map of the identical geographic range of the first rendered frame.User's second rendered frame of can sliding as required, thus in sliding scale, remove POI map, instead display plane map.

Now, suppose that user carries out skip operation, make the right-hand slip of the second rendered frame to display frame.So the moment of not enough Rack finishes sliding action in the viewing area of the second rendered frame, as shown in figure 22, using the regulation end of the second rendered frame, show as labeling apart from the region of left end Rack.Even if user touches labeling and to the right-hand drag operation that carries out, the second rendered frame can be again to right-hand slip yet.

User see labeling show can grasp the second rendered frame in being slid to right-hand state of picture.In addition, user is by touch labeling on touch panel, and carries out drag operation or skip operation to picture left, thereby can make the second rendered frame slip into., this labeling is for making the second rendered frame return to the application drawing picture in the first rendered frame.

Figure 22 shows and carries out labeling process flow diagram for the corresponding processing of incoming event (the step ST703 of Figure 18) of the second rendered frame while showing.

In Figure 22, first, input analysis portion 401 judges the kind (step ST730) of gesture for incoming event.If judge, incoming event is for selecting operation, to selecting operation to carry out predetermined action (step ST731).For example, the in the situation that of having shown POI map in the second rendered frame, show the actions such as the related information in selected place.

If judge in step ST730, incoming event is skip operation, synthesizes drafting portion 407 and generates the synthetic rendered frame making after the second rendered frame slide guage set a distance according to redirect direction, and upgrade and show in display part 1 is held concurrently in input.(step ST733).Afterwards, whether the display width that entirety control part 402 judges the second rendered frame is below setting (step ST734), and synthetic drafting portion 407 continues the slip of the second rendered frame, until the display width of the second rendered frame reaches below setting,, until become labeling demonstration.

If judge in step ST730, incoming event is drag operation, synthetic drafting portion 407 according to drawing direction, drag length and generate the synthetic rendered frame making after the second rendered frame is slided, and upgrade and show in display part 1 is held concurrently in input.(step ST732).The second rendered frame is being carried out to labeling demonstration, and in the situation of existence for the drag gesture of labeling, according to drag operation, the second rendered frame is being slipped into.

In the above-described embodiments, the rendered frame slipping into is second rendered frame, but by the map display of more than three overlapping demonstrations of rendered frame, also can make multiple rendered frame skid off.For example, making, the 3rd rendered frame is overlapping to be presented in the second rendered frame, and in the situation that the second rendered frame and the 3rd rendered frame all skid off completely (shift state completely), can show two icons, have the second rendered frame and the 3rd rendered frame to inform.When this icon is, while recovering icon, can make the second rendered frame and the 3rd rendered frame slide into individually in the first rendered frame, therefore can carry out overlapped information according to object, thereby can realize the user interface that usability is extremely good.

In addition, also display icon not, and on the labeling of existence that represents the second rendered frame, show the labeling of the existence that represents the 3rd rendered frame.In this situation, can make the width of the labeling of the second rendered frame show greatlyr than the labeling of the 3rd rendered frame.By above-mentioned such stepped multiple labelings of overlapping demonstration, thereby all labelings all can independently operate.These are to be applicable to different map group of such as age etc. by the display packing of the situation of more much higher relevance each other the overlapping demonstration of map.

Other > of <

As preventing that user from cannot grasp other method of the problem whether the second rendered frame skid off completely, also can make the second rendered frame moment through the stipulated time after skidding off completely automatically recover.

In addition, the exercises for improving map display usability have also been considered.The amplification of first, second rendered frame is dwindled and also can on touch panel, be carried out 2 touches by user and realize., for example touch picture with two positions such as thumb and forefinger, and keeping carrying out reduction operation by dwindling the interval of 2 under the state touching, carry out amplifieroperation by the interval that expands at 2.

As shown in figure 23, when the first rendered frame is till the overall path profile of destination from this truck position periphery, when the second rendered frame is this truck position Zhou Biantu, by the viewing area by finger touch the second rendered frame and drag to right-hand under touch condition, can make the second rendered frame slide, thereby show the map of destination.In addition, also can carry out 2 touches to the second rendered frame, and by dwindling the gesture at this interval of 2, dwindle the size of the second rendered frame, thus the viewing area of amplification the first rendered frame.

Figure 24 shows than the little figure of the first rendered frame by the second rendered frame in Figure 23.If make as described above the rendered frame of upside show littlely, user easily identify which for the rendered frame of upside, i.e. the slide rendered frame of object.

In addition,, in the situation that the double display part 1 of input is three-dimensional touch panel, also can carry out by noncontact gesture the control of rendered frame.For example, if can make finger near touch panel, rendered frame is amplified, if away from touch panel, rendered frame is dwindled.Or, if also can make finger with the distance of touch panel below setting, the second rendered frame starts to slide, if finger contact to touch panel, the second rendered frame skids off.

In addition, also can utilize the gesture of regulation to realize the operation that the displaying contents of the displaying contents of the first rendered frame and the second rendered frame is exchanged, the animation of atlas page turning.

In addition, also can make the translucent demonstration of the second rendered frame in slip.

< variation >

The above-mentioned input integrated structure of display part that display part 1 has adopted the input part of the input message of accepting user, shown with the mapping picture of action control to the input message based on accepted and control part 4 of holding concurrently, but also can possess respectively the structure that realizes these functions.In addition, shown information is not limited to the information in mapping picture, can show the various information corresponding with user's request.

In addition, if utilize as in the present embodiment touch panel to realize the double display part 1 of input, and change the overlapping of rendered frame by gesture operation, can easily operate.In existing map display, the handle icon being presented in touch panel is touched, or carry out screen operation by mechanical switch, dial-up operation, might not be the user interface that usability is good.But, by as the present invention, the gesture operation that the mobile terminal that adopts smart mobile phone etc. to have touch panel uses, thus can realize the user interface that usability is good.

Thus, such for being for example mounted in map display in vehicle, the screen operation of the map display using under limited environment of running time is effective.And, by the display effect of the rendered frame in the glide direction to rendered frame, slip, degree of freedom is set, thereby can in screen operation, increases amusement key element.

In addition, the double display part 1 of input is not limited to common touch panel, can be the touch panel that utilizes electrostatic capacitance detection type, thereby can detect the close and three-dimensional touch panel contacting of finger.

Above-mentioned first information storage part 2 and the second information storage part 3 can be the storage mediums beyond shown in Fig. 1, the situation that also can comprise first information storage part 2 and the second information storage part 3 in a storage medium.In addition, can be also by with the situation that is arranged on outside storage medium and communicates to obtain cartographic information etc.

In addition, the sliding method of present embodiment, for illustrating, in above-mentioned slip display mode, can upgrade mapping picture by the method beyond sliding method.

In addition, the size of the rendered frame of upside and the rendered frame of downside can be inconsistent.In addition, the size of rendered frame is without taking whole display surface.

In addition, the cartographic information showing in the first rendered frame and the second rendered frame can exchange.

In addition, be illustrated recover the situation that icon makes the second rendered frame slide into the configuration before skip operation by selection, but also one end of the second rendered frame can be presented to the end of display frame, by being touched this one end by user and carrying out drag operation, thereby can make the second rendered frame slide into optional position.

< effect >

The map display of present embodiment is the map display that the multiple pictures that comprise the first rendered frame and the second rendered frame can be shown at least part of overlapping mode.The first rendered frame at least shows first rendered object, the second rendered frame at least shows second rendered object, the at least one party of the first rendered object and the second rendered object comprises the rendered object relevant with cartographic information, and the size of the first rendered frame and the second rendered frame is identical or different.Map display comprises: input part, and what this input part was accepted user shows relevant operation input with rendered frame; And control part 4, the user's that this control part 4 receives according to input part operation input is controlled the overlapping degree of first, second rendered frame, and make a wherein side of first, second rendered object block the opposing party and output to display part at the lap of first, second rendered frame, the display frame of display part is corresponding to whole the first rendered frame, and in complete shift state in the situation that, in display frame, show for making the second rendered frame return to the application drawing picture in the first rendered frame with respect to the first rendered frame in the second rendered frame.In the second rendered frame with respect to the first rendered frame in complete shift state, skid off in the situation that, user can look like to define without skidding off by this application drawing, and can make the second rendered frame skidding off recover, be therefore the map display that usability is good.

In addition, control part 4 slides with respect to the opposing party by a side who makes first, second rendered frame, thereby the overlapping degree of first, second rendered frame is changed continuously.For example in the case of using map identical geographic range but that show different information as first, second rendered frame, change continuously by the overlapping degree that makes these maps, make user easily grasp the relevance of two maps.

In addition, this slip comprises: the curtain that plate that the rendered object in rendered frame and the slip of rendered frame are moved to glide direction in linkage slides and the position of the rendered object that display part is shown does not change slides.No matter adopt which kind of sliding method, can change continuously by the overlapping degree that makes map, make user easily grasp the relevance of two maps.

In addition, by input part and display part being integrally formed as to the input of the display device with the touch panel display part 1 of holding concurrently, thereby improved the convenience of user's input operation.

In addition,, owing to similarly being the recovery icon as the first rendered object for the application drawing that the second rendered frame is returned in the first rendered frame, therefore, user can recover icon by selection returns in the first rendered frame the second rendered frame.

In addition, the situation that the regulation end that the second rendered frame comprises the second rendered frame only with respect to the complete shift state of the first rendered frame and the first rendered frame are overlapping, owing to similarly being the end of this regulation for the application drawing that the second rendered frame is returned in the first rendered frame, therefore user can define without skidding off by the end of this regulation, and can make the second rendered frame skidding off recover.

The map-indication method of present embodiment is the map-indication method that the multiple rendered frame that comprise the first rendered frame and the second rendered frame can be shown at least part of overlapping mode.The first rendered frame at least shows first rendered object, the second rendered frame at least shows second rendered object, the at least one party of the first rendered object and the second rendered object comprises the rendered object relevant with cartographic information, and the size of the first rendered frame and the second rendered frame is identical or different.Map-indication method comprises: that (a) accepts user shows with rendered frame the step that relevant operation is inputted; (b) multiple rendered frame are carried out to the step of rendered frame demonstration; (c) in step (b) before, input, control the overlapping degree of first, second rendered frame and make a wherein side of first, second rendered object block the opposing party's step at the lap of first, second rendered frame according to the user's who receives in step (a) operation, step (b) is that the second rendered frame, shows for making the second rendered frame return to the step of the application drawing picture in the first rendered frame in complete shift state in the situation that with respect to the first rendered frame in display frame in step (c).In the second rendered frame with respect to the first rendered frame in complete shift state, skid off completely in the situation that, user can look like to judge whether the second rendered frame skids off completely by this application drawing, and can in the situation that skidding off completely, make the second rendered frame recover, be therefore the map-indication method that usability is good.

Although describe the present invention in detail, above-mentioned explanation is all to illustrate for example aspect all, and the present invention is not limited thereto.The countless variation not illustrating for example may be interpreted as in not departing from the scope of the present invention and can be susceptible to.
