(effect of operating means)
First, as operating means in the past and comparative example 1 and comparative example 2 are shown, the effect in each comparative example is described.
First, with Figure 12 and Figure 13, comparative example 1 is described.Figure 12 illustrates that the user of the operating means of comparative example 1 shows the figure of the state of key element from positive visuognosis.The figure of the show state of demonstration key element when Figure 13 is the 1st light source igniting representing the operating means of comparative example 1.As shown in figure 12, the operating means of comparative example 1 arranges the 1st light source 15 in the optical axis mode vertical with the surface of surface elements 8.Therefore, when user shows key element 9 from positive visuognosis, user's sight line is relative with the optical axis of the 1st light source 15, causes the ball of the illuminating part that produces the 1st light source 15 as shown in Figure 13 to present, and exists user to be difficult to the such problem points of reading displayed key element 9.
Then, with Figure 14 and Figure 15, comparative example 2 is described.Figure 14 represents that the user of the operating means of comparative example 2 is presented at the figure of the state of the demonstration key element of top from below visuognosis.Figure 15 represents that the user of the operating means of comparative example 2 is presented at the figure of the state of the demonstration key element of below from top visuognosis.The operating means of comparative example 2 is different from the operating means of comparative example 1, in the optical axis mode parallel with the surface of surface elements 8, the 1st light source 15 is set.Therefore, when user shows key element 9 from positive visuognosis, user's sight line can be not relative with the optical axis of the 1st light source 15, and the ball that can not produce as shown in Figure 13 presents phenomenon.But, as shown in Figure 14 and Figure 15, the 1st light source 15 that is arranged on the situation of the upside of LGP 16, demonstration key element 9 below being arranged at the 1st light source 15 of the demonstration key element 9 above being arranged at is arranged on the downside of LGP 16, the light of launching from the 1st light source 15 is centered by optical axis and have angle of flare, and therefore user's sight line is relative with a part for the light having spread.In this case, present phenomenon although relaxed ball as shown in Figure 13, the illuminating part of the 1st light source 15 still enters user's the visual field, exists user to be difficult to read and shows the such problem points of key element 9.
The effect of the operating means of embodiment 1 is described below.
Figure 16 is the figure that represents the user's of the operating means of embodiment 1 visuognosis order.In addition, word 11a shown in Figure 16 be presented at the situation of upside of pattern 11b and pattern 11b be presented at word 11a upside situation the two.As shown in figure 16, in the operating means of embodiment 1, function selects section 10, function declaration section 11 and function setting section 12 to be set to row according to user's visuognosis order., user, in the time of set-up function, selects the order of section 10, function declaration section 11, function setting section 12 to move sight line according to function.
Function declaration section 11 is arranged on stands with the user of standard heights and roughly consistent height of the height of sighting line of positive apparent time.Therefore, the user of the sight line of the user in the time selecting section 10 to carry out visuognosis to function upward, in the time that function setting section 12 is carried out to visuognosis sight line down.By such formation, user can, from roughly just in the face of the word 11a, the pattern 11b that are presented at function declaration section 11 carry out visuognosis, can confirm with the posture of liking the explanation of function.In addition, the approximate centre of the short transverse of 3 sections is stood with user and the height of the sight line of positive apparent time is roughly consistent, can make the upper and lower approximate equality of moving up and down of sight line.In addition, said standard heights means women's average height (in 20～60 years old women's height, remove the mean value after upper and lower 5%) here, for example, be 160cm left and right in Japan.Therefore, function declaration section 11 from the height of installation surface, for example, can be made as approximately 130～150cm in Japan, and to make to stand with the user of standard heights, the height of the sight line of positive apparent time is roughly consistent.
And, different from the operating means of comparative example 1 and the operating means of comparative example 2, in the operating means of embodiment 1, as shown in Figure 8, the optical axis of the 1st light source 15 is parallel with the surface of surface elements 8, and be configured in the direction vertical with the column direction of section, in this example for left and right directions.
By such formation, user's sight line can be not relative with the optical axis of the 1st light source 15, can prevent from presenting phenomenon as Figure 12 and ball as shown in Figure 13, therefore reduced the reading difficulty that shows key element 9.
In addition, about 3 sections, be minimum figure in the figure describing to comprise these 3 sections and all-round length, width dimensions that this figure is formed as left and right directions is less than the width dimensions of above-below direction, in this example, be formed as longitudinal length, and user's sight line moves up larger compared with left and right directions at upper and lower.,, compared with situation about moving up at right and left, on above-below direction moves time, the illuminating part of the 1st light source 15 more easily enters user's the visual field.Therefore, by in this wise the optical axis of the 1st light source 15 being arranged on to the direction substantially vertical with above-below direction, thereby easily enter the movement of the above-below direction in user's the visual field for the illuminating part of the 1st light source 15, can prevent from presenting phenomenon as Figure 14 and ball as shown in Figure 15, its result, the illuminating part that reduces the 1st light source 15 enters the frequency in user's the visual field, has reduced the reading difficulty that shows key element 9.
In addition, in the case of the operating means of embodiment 1 be for example loaded in highly low equipment, freely the user such as equipment of moving can freely change the equipment of relativeness of the position of the position of function declaration section 11 and the sight line of the positive apparent time of user in, user selects section 10, function declaration section 11 and function setting section 12 all to carry out visuognosis and change standing place, posture in order not omit to function, take make to face be configured in central section, in this example as function declaration section 11.Therefore, even if not being arranged on, function declaration section 11 stands with the user of standard heights and roughly consistent height of the height of the sight line of positive apparent time, user with visuognosis function select when section 10 upward, when visuognosis function setting section 12 mode down change sight line towards, the optical axis of the 1st light source 15 is arranged on to the direction substantially vertical with above-below direction, thereby similarly can prevents from presenting phenomenon as Figure 14 and ball as shown in Figure 15 for the movement of above-below direction with above-mentioned.
In addition, similarly, user changes standing place, posture and is configured in central section to make to face the situation that each section is set to horizontal row.Therefore, user during with the section on visuognosis right side to the right, when the section in visuognosis left side mode left change sight line towards, the optical axis of the 1st light source 15 is arranged on to the direction substantially vertical with left and right directions, similarly can prevents from presenting phenomenon as Figure 14 and ball as shown in Figure 15 for the movement of left and right directions with above-mentioned thus.In addition, be arranged on and stand with the user of standard heights and the height of the sight line of positive apparent time roughly consistent height at each section, user can be with the each section of posture visuognosis of liking.
In addition, in the operating means of embodiment 1, the 1st light source 15 of whole demonstration key elements 9 is configured in to left and right directions, but also can only a part be shown to the 1st light source 15 of key element 9 is configured in left and right directions.In the case of the 1st light source 15 of whole demonstration key elements 9 is configured in left and right directions, can further reduce the frequency that ball presents phenomenon.
(variation)
In the operating means of embodiment 1, in step 1002, the step 1102 of Figure 11 etc. of the step 902 of Fig. 9, Figure 10, control module (not shown) selects the 1st light source 15 in whole icon 10b of section 10 to light by being arranged on function, but is not limited to this situation.
Figure 17 and Figure 18 are the figure that represents the variation of the show state of the function selection section of the operating means of embodiment 1.For example as shown in figure 17, the function that cannot set at the operating state of with good grounds freezing-cooling storeroom, also the 1st light source 15 that is arranged on the icon 10b corresponding with the function that cannot set can be turned off the light.By such formation, can allow user which is identified is the function that cannot set.
In addition, as shown in figure 17, in the time that the 1st light source 15 that is arranged on the icon 10b corresponding with the function that cannot set is turned off the light, can worry to be identified as the 1st light source 15 faults by user by mistake, therefore also can as illustrated in fig. 18 the 1st light source 15 that is arranged on the icon 10b corresponding with the function that cannot set more secretly be lighted.By such formation, can make user distinguish the icon 10b corresponding with the function that can set and carry out visuognosis with the corresponding icon 10b of the function that cannot set.
In the operating means of embodiment 1, as shown in Figure 2, in function setting section 12, icon 12a is presented at the downside of word 12b, but is not limited to this situation.
Figure 19 is the figure that represents the variation of the function setting section of the operating means of embodiment 1.For example as shown in figure 19, icon 12a also may be displayed on the upside of word 12b.In addition, in this case, even if display text 12b when user touches icon 12a causes word 12b to be hidden owing to touching the hand of icon 12a, the situation that user can not recognition function be set.On the other hand, as shown in Figure 2, icon 12a is presented in the situation of downside of word 12b, can not be hidden by word 12b due to hand user's situation that recognition function has been set more reliably.
In the operating means of embodiment 1, as illustrated in fig. 11, use icon 10a as the icon of the setting for abort function or releasing, but be not limited to this situation.
Figure 20 is the figure representing for the function setting of operating means of the mode of discontinuing the operation 1 or the variation of the icon of releasing.Example as shown in figure 20, also can be appended for it is special icon 12c.The display unit 13 with input block 18 is set at icon 12c.In icon 12c, record the symbol (word) of " returning ", " cancellation " etc.By such formation, easily identification is for the setting of abort function or the icon of releasing for user, and the operability of operating means 7 is further enhanced.In addition, also can use the icon beyond icon 10a as the icon of the setting for abort function or releasing.
In the operating means of embodiment 1, as shown in Fig. 3～Fig. 5, be provided with the 1st layer of 8a and the 2nd layer of 8b on the surface with radioparent member 8c, but be not limited to this situation, for example also can beyond thering is the surface of radioparent member 8c, layer be set.In addition, also can other layer, other member be set in the face side of the 1st layer of 8a.In addition, also can be as follows: the 1st layer of 8a and the 2nd layer of 8b are arranged on to the member different from having radioparent member 8c, and this different member is arranged on face side or the rear side of surface elements 8.In this case, also can be by integrated members different from this surface elements 8.
In the operating means of embodiment 1, for each demonstration key element 9, LGP 16 is set, but each LGP 16 also can be integrated.By such formation, do not need to install singly LGP 16, it is easier that assembling operation becomes.For example, whole LGPs 16 both can one turn to parts, also can carry out integrated for each mode of each section or demonstration key element 9.Figure 21 is the figure of the LGP that represents the operating means of embodiment 1 example while being integrated.For example,, in the case of being arranged at the LGP 16 of word 11a is integrated, as long as be made as such as shown in figure 21 shape.In addition, the 1st light source 15 is configured in the region A in the outside of the left and right directions that is arranged at LGP 16 in this example.In addition, containment wall 17 is configured in the slot part or the B of hole portion that be arranged in parallel with the left and right directions of LGP 16 in this example.
In the operating means of embodiment 1, as shown in FIG. 4 and 5, input block 18 is made up of the electrode of touch sensor of the electrostatic capacitive that is assembled in display unit 13, but be not limited to this situation, for example also can be as follows: input block 18 is made up of the switch of button etc., and this switch is arranged near or other housing that can communicate with operating means 7 etc. of the direction up and down of display unit 13.As the operating means of embodiment 1, being formed by the electrode of touch sensor of electrostatic capacitive that is assembled in display unit 13 at input block 18, different from switch, there is no movable part, therefore can improve durability.In addition, different from switch, the groove that does not have moisture etc. to invade, therefore can improve water proofing property.In addition, static can not be accumulated in the groove of the intrusions such as moisture yet, and user can be not nervous in the time of operation.
Embodiment 2.
The operating means of embodiment 2 is with respect to the operating means of embodiment 1 and the configuration difference of the 1st light source.
The following describes the operating means of embodiment 2.
First, the structure of the operating means of embodiment 2 is described.In addition the explanation repeating with the operating means of embodiment 1, is suitably simplified or omits.
Figure 22 is the overlapping figure that is painted with the 1st light source in the figure of state of whole demonstration key elements that the operating means that shows embodiment 2 is shown.As shown in figure 22, in surface elements 8, function selection section 10, function declaration section 11 and function setting section 12, the 1 light sources 15 being set longitudinal row is to LGP 16 utilizing emitted lights from above-below direction from the direction parallel with this column direction, this example.
Be arranged at and be arranged in than the more demonstration key element 9, the downside that the 1st light source 15 that is icon 10a, icon 10b and word 11a at this example is configured in LGP 16 of upside of the approximate centre of the short transverse of function declaration section 11.In addition, be arranged at and be arranged in than the more demonstration key element 9, the upside that the 1st light source 15 that is pattern 11b, icon 12a and word 12b at this example is configured in LGP 16 of downside of the approximate centre of the short transverse of function declaration section 11.In addition, the horizontal row of each section arrange in the situation that, be arranged at be positioned at than the approximate centre of the transverse direction of function declaration section 11 more the 1st light source 15 of the demonstration key element 9 on right side be configured in the left side of LGP 16.In addition, be arranged at be positioned at than the approximate centre of the transverse direction of function declaration section 11 more the 1st light source 15 of demonstration key element 9 in left side be configured in the right side of LGP 16.
The effect of the operating means of embodiment 2 then, is described.
Function declaration section 11 is arranged to that the height of short transverse approximate centre and the user of standard heights stand and the height of the sight line of positive apparent time is roughly consistent.Therefore,, in this example, upward, the sight line of user when visuognosis pattern 11b, icon 12a and word 12b down for the sight line of user when visuognosis icon 10a, icon 10b and word 11a.
Figure 23 represents that the user of the operating means of embodiment 2 is presented at the figure of the state of the demonstration key element of top from below visuognosis.Figure 24 represents that the user of the operating means of embodiment 2 is presented at the figure of the state of the demonstration key element of below from top visuognosis.Different from the operating means of comparative example 1 and the operating means of comparative example 2, in the operating means of embodiment 2, as shown in figure 22, in the demonstration key element 9 of the 1st light source 15 above being presented at, be configured in the downside of LGP 16, and in the demonstration key element 9 below being presented at, be configured in the upside of LGP 16, therefore as shown in Figure 23 and Figure 24, even if user's sight line moves between section, in this example upward, change down, the illuminating part of the 1st light source 15 also can not enter user's the visual field and produce and present phenomenon as Figure 14 and ball as shown in Figure 15, reduce the reading difficulty that shows key element 9.
In addition, in the operating means of embodiment 2, by function declaration section 11 be set to the approximate centre of short transverse, the height of sighting line of positive apparent time is roughly consistent with showing that the height in region between the region of pattern 11b and the user of standard heights stand for the region that shows word 11a.But user's height has deviation, not that the user of standard heights stands and the height of sighting line of positive apparent time is consistent with the height of the part region between the region that shows word 11a and the region that shows pattern 11b.Therefore, need to consider showing the region of word 11a and showing the space etc. that is provided for the height deviation that absorbs user between the region of pattern 11b.
