An example of a portable device in which a user of the mold device can be switched will be described. The switching operation is performed by the user specifying menu information or icon information displayed on the display screen.

  FIG. 3 is a block diagram of elements included in the portable device. In addition to the operation instruction 51, the operation unit 17 in FIG. 3 displays the first display area part on the display screen, the first and second display area parts, and the second display. Display instruction information 57 is input to indicate whether to display the area portion. Further, the control unit 27 in FIG. 3 inputs the display instruction information 57, controls the display unit 25 in accordance with the content instructed by the display instruction information 57, and displays the first display area unit on the display screen 11. Alternatively, the first and second display area portions are displayed, or the second display area portion is displayed. Other elements are the same as those in FIG.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a display example of the display screen, where (a) shows a display example in the normal mode, and (b) and (c) show a display example in the forward confirmation mode. Here, the “normal mode” refers to a case where the first display area unit 15 is displayed on the display screen 11 or the second display area unit 13 is displayed on the display screen 11. Means that the first display area 15 and the second display area 13 are displayed on the display screen 11. In FIG. 4A, a first display area 15 (operation display section) is displayed on the display screen 11, and a list of functions provided by the portable device 10 is displayed on the first display area 15; Multiple icons are displayed. In FIG. 4B, the display screen 11 displays a first display area unit 15 (operation display unit) and a second display area unit 13, and the first display area unit 15 displays the screen shown in FIG. Although the area of the display area is smaller than that of the first display area unit 15 a), a list of functions provided by the portable device 10 is displayed and a plurality of icons are displayed. An image 55 captured by the imaging unit 19 is displayed in the second display area unit 13 (camera preview unit). Here, the icon 41 is used for inputting display instruction information. The storage unit 29 stores operation information. The operation information includes icon information for displaying the icon 41. The storage unit 29 stores control information for transitioning the display from the normal mode to the forward confirmation mode and control information for transitioning the display from the forward confirmation mode to the normal mode in association with the icon information. ing. In the example of the forward confirmation mode in FIG. 4B, the display screen 11 is divided into two parts up and down, one of which displays the second display area 13 as a camera preview screen, and the other as the in-operation screen. Is displayed. Note that the camera preview unit simply displays the image as it is, and does not accept input from the operation display unit. All input by the operator is performed on the operation display unit. For example, when “mail” is selected by the user in the state of FIG. 4B, the display screen 11 remains in the forward confirmation mode as shown in FIG. Displays the selected mail creation screen. However, the camera preview is displayed in the second display area 13 without change. Therefore, the user of the portable device 10 confirms the safety of the front by looking at the camera preview part while continuing the operation without changing the area of the operation display part in the forward confirmation mode. Is possible. If the size of the first display area 15 is small and the operation is difficult, selecting the icon 41 (“normal”) in FIG. 4 (c) selects the normal mode as shown in FIG. 5 (a). You can switch to the mail composition screen. When “camera” is selected from the operation display unit in the forward confirmation mode of FIG. 4B, the display screen 11 is switched to the camera preview screen of FIG. FIG. 5B shows that only the second display area unit 13 is displayed on the display screen 11. When “camera” is selected, there is no need to enter the forward confirmation mode, so the icon 41 for transitioning to the forward confirmation mode is not displayed.

  Next, an operation for switching between the forward confirmation mode and the normal mode will be described based on the flowcharts of FIGS. 6 and 7. FIG. 6 is a flowchart of a mode switching operation for transitioning from the normal mode to the forward confirmation mode. FIG. 7 is a flowchart of a mode switching operation for transitioning from the forward confirmation mode to the normal mode.

  Hereinafter, the user of the portable device 10 is referred to as an operator. In FIG. 6, in the normal mode input waiting state (S1), the operator performs an arbitrary key operation (S2). The operation unit 17 is input by the operation instruction 51 by the operator or the display instruction information 57 (the display instruction information 57 is selected by the operator selecting the icon 41 in FIGS. 4A and 5A). Input). The control unit 27 inputs the operation instruction 51 or the display instruction information 57 from the operation unit 17, and determines whether or not it is a forward mode switching request (S3). If the display instruction information 57 has been input, it is determined that an instruction to switch from the normal mode to the forward confirmation mode has been issued, and the process branches to S4. Otherwise, the process branches to S7. In S <b> 4, the control unit 27 activates the imaging unit 19, inputs an image 55 from the imaging unit, and displays an operation screen that has been displayed on the first display area unit 15 until that time and a new second display area. The image 55 to be displayed on the unit 13 is synthesized so as to be displayed as shown in FIGS. 4B and 4C, and the display unit 25 is controlled to display the first display region unit 15 on the display screen 11. The second display area unit 13 is displayed (S5), and a transition is made to the forward confirmation mode (S6). If it is not a request to switch to the forward confirmation mode in S3, the control unit 27 responds to an operation instruction 51 (operation instruction 51 indicates an operation corresponding to a pressed key or button) in S7. The operation information to be retrieved is retrieved from the storage unit 29, the display unit 25 is controlled to display the retrieved operation information on the display screen 11 (S8), and the input mode is awaited in the normal mode (S9).

  The processes of S1 to S9 described above are control steps performed under the control of the control unit 27.

  Next, the operation of transition from the forward confirmation mode to the normal mode will be described with reference to FIG. The operator performs an arbitrary key operation (S11) in an input waiting state (S10) in the forward confirmation mode as shown in FIGS. 4B and 4C, for example. The operation unit 17 is input by an operation instruction 51 by the operator or display instruction information 57 (the display instruction information 57 is selected by the operator selecting the icon 41 in FIGS. 4B and 4C). Input). The control unit 27 inputs the operation instruction 51 or the display instruction information 57 from the operation unit 17 and determines whether or not it is a normal mode switching request (S12). If the display instruction information 57 is input, it is determined that an instruction to switch from the forward confirmation mode to the normal mode is given, and the process branches to S13. Otherwise, the process branches to S16. If it is a normal mode switching request, the control unit 27 controls the imaging unit 19 to stop the camera function in S13. Further, the camera preview part of the second display area part 13 is erased from the display screen 11, and the display part 25 is controlled to display the first display area part 15 on the entire display screen 11 (S14). Transition to the normal mode (S15). For example, the display screen changes from FIG. 4 (b) to FIG. 4 (a) or from FIG. 4 (c) to FIG. 5 (a). If it is not a request for switching to the normal mode, the control unit 27 in S16, operation information corresponding to an operation instruction 51 (the operation instruction 51 indicates an operation corresponding to a pressed key or button). The storage unit 29 is retrieved and retrieved, and the display unit 25 is controlled to display the retrieved operation information on the first display region unit 15 of the display screen 11 (S16), and is displayed on the first display region unit 15. The contents are updated (S17), and the state is returned to the input waiting state in the forward confirmation mode (S18). For example, the display content changes from the display screen of FIG. 4B to the display screen of FIG.

  The processes of S10 to S18 described above are control steps performed under the control of the control unit 27.

  As described above, in the forward confirmation mode, while confirming the camera image captured by the imaging unit 19 displayed at the same time while performing various operations such as mail creation and menu selection, the forward direction is confirmed with a minimum movement of the line of sight. Therefore, the operation can be safely continued even while walking.

  In addition to using icon information as means for inputting the display instruction information 57, a method using menu information is conceivable. FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an example in which display instruction information is displayed as menu information and is selected by the operator. (A) is an example of menu information in the normal mode, and (b) is menu information in the forward confirmation mode. An example of In the example of FIG. 8, the menu 43 includes a “forward confirmation mode” for instructing a transition from the normal mode to the forward confirmation mode and a “normal mode” for instructing a transition from the forward confirmation mode to the normal mode. Provided. The menu 43 is displayed in correspondence with the function icon. The operation when the “forward confirmation mode” is selected from the menu 43 by the operator is the same as in FIG. The operation when the “normal mode” is selected from the menu 43 by the operator is the same as in FIG. In addition, the effect is the same as the case where the display instruction information is input by the icon 41.

  In addition, inputting display instruction information using the icon 41 or the menu 43 has the following effects.

  This is effective when there is no space for providing a dedicated key on the operation unit 17 of the portable device 10.

  In addition, since the forward confirmation mode and the normal mode can be switched to each other, the size of the first display area is smaller than the size of the first display area in the normal mode in the forward confirmation mode. The operator may find it difficult to operate, but the mode can be switched from the forward confirmation mode to the normal mode. When safety confirmation is not necessary, for example, when the user sits and operates while not walking, there is an effect that the operator can easily perform the operation by his / her own judgment. On the other hand, when the user starts walking while sitting down and performing an operation, it is necessary to confirm the safety in the front, so that the normal mode can be easily switched to the forward confirmation mode. At this time, for example, even if the mode is switched during the creation of an email, the content of the email that has been created so far remains on the display screen after switching, so email creation can be continued. There is an effect that the operator can switch the mode while maintaining the operation contents up to that time even during the operation.

Embodiment 3 FIG.
In this embodiment, an example of a portable device including a display instruction button unit for inputting display instruction information will be described. In addition, the element which comprises the portable apparatus 10 shall be the same as that of FIG.

  FIG. 9 and FIG. 10 are diagrams showing an example of a portable device provided with a display instruction button part, and FIG. 9A is a front view of the front side when the surface that is inside when folded is opened. ) Is a side view. The portable device 10 in FIG. 9 includes a display switching (instruction) button 31 on the operation surface of the operation unit 17. When the operator presses the display switching button 31, the mode is switched to the forward confirmation mode when in the normal mode, and the mode is switched to the normal mode when in the forward confirmation mode. Although there is a portable device provided with a shutter button at a position where the display switching button 31 is provided, the shutter button 33 is provided on a side surface of the portable device 10 as shown in FIG. It shall be.

  The portable device 10 of FIG. 10 includes a display switching (instruction) button 31 on the side surface as shown in FIG. For example, the display switching button 31 may be a push type, a slide type, or a dial type. When the operator operates the display switching button 31, the mode is switched to the forward confirmation mode when in the normal mode, and the mode is switched to the normal mode when in the forward confirmation mode. Although there is a portable device provided with a shutter button at a position where the display switching button 31 is provided, the shutter button 33 is provided on the operation surface of the portable device 10 as shown in FIG. It is assumed that

  When the operator operates each display switching button 31 shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the operation unit 17 inputs display instruction information 57, and the control unit 27 receives the display instruction information 57. FIG. The operation | movement according to the flowchart described in 7 is performed.

  By providing a display switching (instruction) button, it is possible to switch between the forward confirmation mode and the normal mode. In the forward confirmation mode, the size of the first display area is smaller than the size of the first display area in the normal mode. The mode is switched to the mode, and when switched, it is effective even in the mode in which the previous operation was switched, so if you do not need to check safety ahead, for example, if you are sitting and operating while not walking Has the effect of making it easier for the operator to perform the operation at his own discretion. On the other hand, when the user starts walking while sitting and operating, it is necessary to confirm the safety in the front, so that the normal mode can be easily switched to the forward confirmation mode. At this time, for example, even if the mode is switched during the creation of the email, the content of the email that has been created so far remains on the display screen after switching, so that email creation can be continued. There is an effect that the operator can switch the mode while maintaining the operation contents up to that time even during the operation.

  Further, the portable device 10 is provided with physical means for inputting display instruction information as shown in FIG. 9 and FIG. 10, and is provided with an icon 41 and a menu 43 as in the second embodiment to display information. You may make it input. By providing the two means, there is an effect that the display instruction information can be input using means easy for the operator to operate.

Embodiment 4 FIG.
In the first to third embodiments, when the first display area and the second display area are displayed on the display screen, the display screen 11 is divided into upper and lower parts as shown in FIG. Is the second display area portion 13 and the lower side is the first display area portion 15. However, the upper side may be the first display area unit 15 and the lower side may be the second display area unit 13.

  Further, the display screen 11 may be divided into left and right. FIG. 11A is a diagram illustrating an example in which the display screen 11 is divided into right and left, and the left side of the paper is the first display area unit 15 and the right side of the paper is the second display area unit 13. The left and right sides may be reversed, and the left side of the page may be the second display area unit 13 and the right side of the page may be the first display area unit 15.

  Further, the operator may arbitrarily select to divide the display screen 11 into one of top and bottom and left and right.

  Further, when displaying the first display area 15 and the second display area 13 on the display screen 11, the size of the first display area 15 and the size of the second display area 13 are: Even if the size is the same as shown in FIG. 1A, the size of the first display area 15 is larger than the size of the second display area 13 as shown in FIG. 11B. Also good. Conversely, the size of the second display area 13 may be larger than the size of the first display area 15.

  Also, the size of the first display area part and the size of the second display area part may be changed to an arbitrary size by the operator. In FIG. 12A, the display screen 11 is divided into upper and lower parts, and the boundary between the first display area unit 15 and the second display area unit 13 is set to either the x direction or the y direction. The operator changes the size of the first display area unit 15 and the size of the second display area unit 13 to an arbitrary size.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 12B, even when the display screen 11 is divided into left and right, the size of the first display area and the size of the second display area can be set arbitrarily by the operator. Make it changeable.

There is a method of changing by providing a button and operating the button.

  Further, the operator may arbitrarily change the direction of information or images displayed on the first display area unit 15 and the second display area unit 13, respectively. For example, the display direction is changed by rotating the image representing the person displayed in the second display area unit 13 in FIG. 8B by 90 degrees to the right (or left). At the same time, the display direction is changed by rotating the operation information such as the contents of the mail being created and the icon displayed in the first display area unit 15 right (or left) 90 degrees. The direction of the information displayed in the first and second display area units is the other display area when the direction of the information displayed in one of the first and second display area units is changed. The direction of information displayed on the section is also changed accordingly.

  As described above, when the operator can arbitrarily select to divide the display screen 11 vertically or horizontally, the direction of the division can be controlled according to how the operator holds the portable device. Since the user can select freely, it is easy to confirm the information displayed on the display screen, and there is an effect of improving the operation efficiency.

  In addition, if the operator can change the sizes of the first and second display area parts, for example, when composing an e-mail or browsing the web, the first display area part is enlarged and checked at a glance. A large amount of information that can be displayed can be displayed. As a result, there is an effect of improving the usability of the operator's portable device.

  In addition, for example, when walking on a road that frequently passes, the size of the second display area is made smaller than the size of the first display area, and when walking on a road that passes for the first time, Since it is necessary to carefully check, the size of the second display area can be made larger than the size of the first display area so that an operator can easily find an obstacle in the forward direction. As described above, since the specification of the display screen can be changed in accordance with the situation in which the operator uses the portable device, there is an effect of improving the usability of the operator's portable device.
