Description

  The present invention is used in an information communication system including an operation terminal configured to be tiltable around a fulcrum with respect to a predetermined axis passing through a predetermined fulcrum, and an information processing apparatus capable of communicating with the operation terminal. And a suitable technique.

  Conventionally, an information communication system comprising an operation terminal provided with an operation shaft, which can be tilted or rotated in a tilted state, and an entertainment device to which such an operation terminal is connected. There is. In such information communication systems, for example, objects such as airplanes and automobiles are displayed on the screen, and when the user operates the operation terminal, these objects are moved and displayed on the screen, and flight simulation is performed. There is something that can perform drive simulation. In such an information communication system, the moving speed of the object is determined according to the tilt angle of the operation axis of the operation terminal, and the moving direction of the object is determined according to the tilt direction of the operation axis.

JP 2001-269485 A

  However, when such an operation terminal is operated to display an object at a desired position on the screen, the operation is not always easy for the user.

  For example, it is difficult to intuitively understand the relationship between the moving speed of the object determined according to the tilt angle of the operating axis of the operating terminal and the moving distance from the position where the object is currently displayed to the desired position. Some users.

  Further, even when the user holds the tilted state of the operation shaft of the operation terminal in a predetermined state, the object is moved and displayed at a constant speed toward the tilt direction in the tilted state, and the user stops the movement of the operation terminal. Even though the object is displayed, the object is moved and displayed without being statically displayed. In this case, there is a difference between the operation state on the operation terminal and the display state of the object, and the user may feel uncomfortable.

  In addition, when the object being moved and displayed is displayed statically, the user may return the operation axis from the tilted state to the non-tilted state (hereinafter referred to as a non-tilted state). Until returning to the tilted state, the object is moved and displayed in the tilting direction of the operation axis while decelerating. Then, when the operation axis returns to the non-tilt state and the moving speed of the object becomes “0”, the object is displayed statically.

  Therefore, in this case, it is difficult for the user to grasp in advance in which position the object is statically displayed. For this reason, when the user wants to display an object at a desired position, the user must carefully consider the operation procedure for turning the operating terminal to the tilted state or returning it to the non-tilted state in advance. Even if the operation terminal is operated, the object is not always displayed at a desired position. Therefore, it is not always easy for the user to statically display the object at a desired position.

  Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and a user operates an operation terminal configured to be tiltable around a fulcrum with respect to a predetermined axis passing through a predetermined fulcrum. An object of the present invention is to provide an information communication system capable of easily displaying an object displayed on a desired position at a desired position.

  An information communication system according to the present invention includes an operation unit having an operation axis configured to be tiltable around a fulcrum with respect to a predetermined axis passing through a predetermined fulcrum, and the predetermined axis of the operation axis of the operation unit Detecting means for detecting a tilt angle and a tilt direction with respect to the image, output means for outputting a coordinate value determined by the tilt angle and the tilt direction detected by the detecting means, and transmitting means for transmitting the coordinate value output by the output means An information processing system comprising: an operation terminal including: an information processing apparatus capable of communicating with the operation terminal; wherein the information processing apparatus displays a predetermined object on a display means; and the transmission means Receiving means for receiving the coordinate values transmitted from the storage means, storage means for storing the coordinate values received by the receiving means, first coordinate values received by the receiving means, and the receiving means Before the first coordinate value is received, a variation with the second coordinate value received and stored in the storage unit is calculated, and the display control unit is connected to the display unit based on the variation. And display position determining means for determining a new display position of the displayed predetermined object.

  According to the present invention, the coordinate value determined according to the tilt angle and the tilt direction of the operation axis of the operation unit of the operation terminal with respect to the predetermined axis is transmitted from the operation terminal, and the coordinate value is received by the information processing device. The received coordinate values are stored in the storage means. Then, a variation between the received first coordinate value and the second coordinate value received before the first coordinate value is received and stored in the storage means is calculated, and based on the variation. Thus, a new display position of the predetermined object displayed on the display means is determined.

The main memory 89 is composed of the following, and these are connected via a bus 90. The keyboard 87 is a general term for the above-described operators provided in the controller 20.

  The ROM 82 stores various programs such as an operating system for controlling each unit of the controller 20.

  The CPU 81 reads the operating system stored in the ROM 82 into the main memory 89 when the controller 20 is started up, and controls the operation of each part of the information processing apparatus 1 by executing the read operating system.

  Further, the CPU 81 detects an operation on the keyboard 87 operated by the user, and transmits an operation signal corresponding to the operation to the information processing apparatus 1 via the interface 89. For the analog operation units 31 and 32, the CPU 81 determines the tilt angle and the tilt direction of the operation shafts 31a and 32a of the analog operation units 31 and 32 with respect to the axis b for a predetermined unit time (hereinafter referred to as detection time). ) To obtain the coordinate values corresponding to them. Here, for convenience of explanation, only the coordinate value corresponding to the analog operation unit 31 will be described. However, the coordinate value corresponding to the analog operation unit 32 is substantially the same as the coordinate value corresponding to the analog operation unit 31. The coordinate values corresponding to the analog operation unit 31 obtained here are, for example, as shown in FIG. 4, Xc-Yc coordinates in which the horizontal direction of the operation axis 31a is the Xc axis and the vertical direction of the operation axis 31a is the Yc axis. It is the above value. As shown in FIG. 4, the value yc in the Yc (vertical) direction on the Xc-Yc coordinate is expressed by 256 levels of values from “0” to “255”, and the value xc in the Xc (horizontal) direction is “ It is expressed by 256 levels of values from “0” to “255”. In such coordinates, the coordinate value when the operation shaft 31a is not tilted is defined as the origin a (127, 127), and the CPU 81 determines the value xc in the Xc direction according to the horizontal tilt of the operation shaft 31a. The value yc in the Yc direction is determined according to the vertical inclination of the operation shaft 31a. When the operation shaft 31a is tilted to the maximum and the tilt angle of the operation shaft 31a with respect to the axis b is maximum, the values of the coordinate values (xc, yc) are, for example, (0, 127), (255, 127), ( 127, 0), (127, 255), etc.

  Then, the CPU 81 transmits an operation signal corresponding to the coordinate value (xc, yc) obtained every predetermined unit time to the information processing apparatus 1.

  As illustrated in FIG. 5, the information processing apparatus 1 includes a main bus 61 and a sub bus 62, and these buses 61 and 62 are connected to or disconnected from each other via a bus interface 63.

  The main bus 61 includes a main CPU 64, a main memory 65 including a RAM, a main DMAC (Direct Memory Access Controller) 66, and an image processing device (GPU (Graphic Processing Unit)) 68 including a frame memory 67. Is connected. The GPU 68 is connected with a CRTC (CRT Controller) 69 which is a control means for generating a video signal.

  When the main CPU 64 executes the above-described movement display program, the following movement display function is realized. The main CPU 64 performs the following movement display processing on the operation signal corresponding to the coordinate value (xc, yc) corresponding to the analog operation unit 31 transmitted from the controller 20 every predetermined unit time every time the operation signal is transmitted. I do. The main CPU 64 determines whether or not the coordinate value (xc, yc) corresponding to the operation signal is (127, 127). If the determination result is negative, the main CPU 64 sets the coordinate value corresponding to the operation signal this time. Coordinate values are stored in the main memory 65. Also, the coordinate value corresponding to the operation signal transmitted immediately before the operation signal is transmitted is stored in the main memory 65 as the previous coordinate value. Then, a variation between the current coordinate value and the previous coordinate value is calculated, and the screen coordinate value (xs, ys) of the pointer P is updated based on the calculated variation. Thereby, the display position of the pointer P on the screen 11 is determined. Then, a rendering command for rendering the pointer P at the display position corresponding to the updated screen coordinate value (xs, ys) is issued to the GPU 68. In accordance with this drawing command, the GPU 68 is drawn in the frame memory 67 and the image is displayed on the screen 11 of the monitor device 10 via the CRTC 69. As a result, the pointer P is displayed at the determined display position on the screen 11. When the determination result is affirmative, the main CPU 64 returns the current coordinate value and the previous coordinate value to the initial values, and ends the process without updating the screen coordinate value. Note that (127, 127) are set as initial values for the previous coordinate value and the current coordinate value, respectively, and stored in the main memory 65 in advance.

  Further, when the main CPU 64 executes the movement display program, the selection instruction operation is assigned to the operation of the operation button 22d, the selection cancellation instruction operation is assigned to the operation of the operation button 22b, and the operation of the operation button 22c is assigned. Assign a menu display instruction operation. Specifically, for example, when the operation position 22d is pressed when the display position of the pointer P overlaps a predetermined item (for example, the item IT1 in FIG. 6), the controller 20 responds to the pressing operation. Based on the transmitted operation signal, the main CPU 64 determines that the item IT1 has been selected by the user, and performs processing according to the determination result. When the operation button 22b is subsequently pressed, the main CPU 64 determines that the item IT1 has been canceled by the user and performs processing according to the determination result. When the operation button 22 c is pressed, the main CPU 64 displays a menu image stored in advance in the main memory 65 on the screen 11.

  When the display position of the pointer P overlaps the display position of the scroll button SC1 or the scroll button SC2, the content image is displayed in the area AR of the browser image G in response to each pressing operation of the direction key 21a or 21b of the pointer P. When scrolling in the middle or upper direction and overlapping the display position of the scroll button SC3 or the scroll button SC4, the content image is displayed in the area AR of the browser image G in the left side of the figure in response to each pressing operation of the direction key 21c or 21d. Or scroll to the right.

  In addition, when the main CPU 64 executes a predetermined game program stored in the ROM 70, the predetermined CPU (hereinafter referred to as an operation target object) for the predetermined object (hereinafter, referred to as an operation target object) corresponds to the tilt direction of the operation shafts 31 a and 32 a. The movement direction of the operation target object is determined, and the movement speed is determined according to the tilt angle of the operation axes 31a and 32a. Specifically, for example, the coordinate value (xc, yc) corresponding to the operation signal corresponding to the analog operation unit 31 transmitted from the controller 20 every predetermined unit time is set as the end point, and the origin a (127, 127) is set as the end point. The operation target object is moved and displayed on the screen 11 according to the vector as the starting point. The function for moving and displaying the operation target object in this manner is hereinafter referred to as a conventional movement display function.

The display list is polygon definition information for drawing a polygon, and the polygon definition information includes drawing area setting information and polygon information. The drawing area setting information includes offset coordinates in the frame buffer address of the drawing area and coordinates of a drawing clipping area for canceling drawing when there are polygon coordinates outside the drawing area.

<Functional configuration>
Next, a functional configuration of the information processing apparatus 1 will be described. FIG. 7 is a functional block diagram schematically illustrating a functional configuration of the information processing apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment. In this embodiment, the main CPU 64 executes various programs such as a browser and a moving display program stored in the ROM 70, and each part of the information processing apparatus 1 such as the GPU 68 performs various processes in accordance with the control command of the main CPU 64 during the execution of this process. By performing the above, the functions of the following means K1 to K5 are realized.

  The display control means K5 displays the pointer P on the screen 11 of the monitor device 10. The receiving unit K1 receives an operation signal corresponding to a coordinate value according to the tilt state of the analog operation unit 31 transmitted from the controller 20 at each detection time. The storage unit K2 stores coordinate values corresponding to the operation signal received by the reception unit K1. The determination unit K3 determines whether the coordinate value corresponding to the operation signal received by the reception unit K1 is a predetermined coordinate value (127, 127). When the determination result of the determination unit K3 is negative, the display position determination unit K4 displays the first coordinate value corresponding to the operation signal received by the reception unit K1 and the operation signal corresponding to the coordinate value received by the reception unit K1. The coordinate value corresponding to the operation signal received immediately prior to receiving and the variation with the second coordinate value stored in the storage means K2 is calculated. Then, a new display position of the pointer P on the screen 11 is determined using the calculated variation and the screen coordinate value corresponding to the pointer P. When the determination result of the determination unit K3 is positive, the display position determination unit K4 determines the current display position of the pointer P as a new display position without changing the display position of the pointer P on the screen 11. The display control means K5 displays the pointer P at the new display position determined by the display position determination means K5.

(2) Operation Next, the operation according to the present embodiment will be described.

  Note that the information processing apparatus 1 is powered on (not shown), and a program such as an operation system stored in the ROM 70 is read and executed by the main CPU 64 into the main memory 65, and an instruction is input by each user. Various programs read from the ROM 70 or the optical disk 72 to the main memory 65 are executed by the main CPU 64, and various functions described in the above-described configuration section are realized.

  The controller 20 is supplied with power from the information processing apparatus 1 connected via the connection cable 13, and a program such as an operation system stored in the ROM 82 is read by the CPU 81 into the main memory 89 and executed. Various functions described in the configuration column are realized.

  First, when the user operates the operation button 22a of the controller 20 to instruct display of content stored in the medium 72, for example, the CPU 81 of the controller 20 sends an operation signal corresponding to the operation via the interface 88. To the information processing apparatus 1. The main CPU 64 receives the operation signal transmitted from the controller 20 via the IOP 78, and in response to this operation signal, reads the browser from the ROM 70 to the main memory 65 and executes it. Then, the main CPU 64 reads the instructed content from the medium 72 and temporarily stores it in the main memory 65. Then, the main CPU 64 issues a browser image drawing command including an image representing the content (content image) to the graphic system 50. The graphic system 50 draws a browser image including a content image in the frame memory 67 in accordance with a drawing command from the main CPU 64. Next, the CRTC 69 generates a video signal based on the image drawn in the frame memory 67 and supplies it to the monitor device 10 connected to the information processing device 1. As a result, the browser image G including the pointer P as shown in FIG. 6 is displayed on the screen 11 of the monitor device 10.

  Here, it is assumed that the size of the screen 11 is represented by 400 × 300 (pixels), and the screen coordinate value (xs, ys) of the pointer P is (0, 0) in units of pixels constituting the screen 11. To (400, 300). Since the pointer P as shown in FIG. 6 is an image composed of a plurality of pixels, a plurality of screen coordinate values are assigned. However, for convenience of explanation, one pointer corresponding to the tip of the arrow of the pointer P is used. Only the screen coordinate value will be described. Other screen coordinate values are processed in substantially the same manner as the screen coordinate values in the following description.

  In the initial state, the screen coordinate value of the pointer P is (200, 150). At this time, the pointer P is displayed at the display position D1 in FIG. As described above, in the initial state, the previous coordinate value and the current coordinate value stored in the main memory 65 are (127, 127), respectively. The operation shaft 31a of the analog operation unit 31 is assumed to be in a non-tilted state.

  On the other hand, the CPU 81 of the controller 20 detects an operation on the keyboard 87 at every detection time, outputs an operation signal corresponding to the detected operation, and transmits this to the information processing apparatus 1 via the interface 88. For the operation shaft 31 a of the analog operation unit 31, an operation signal corresponding to the coordinate value on the Xc-Yc coordinate determined by the tilt direction and the tilt angle is output and transmitted to the information processing apparatus 1 via the interface 88. . Here, when the operation shaft 31a of the analog operation unit 31 is tilted by the user, the CPU 81 sequentially outputs operation signals corresponding to the coordinate values C1 to C9, and sequentially transmits them to the information processing apparatus 1. Shall. Specifically, for example, when the user tilts the operation shaft 31a in the diagonally downward left direction from the non-tilt state, an operation signal corresponding to the coordinate value C1 (67, 113) is output, and then the operation shaft 31a is moved downward. When tilted in the direction, an operation signal corresponding to the coordinate value C2 (67, 74) is output, and when the operation shaft 31a is tilted downward, the coordinate value C3 (67, 74) is maintained. Then, when the operation shaft 31a is tilted to the left obliquely upward, the operation signal corresponding to the coordinate value C4 (0, 127) is output, and then the operation shaft 31a. Is returned to the non-tilted state, an operation signal corresponding to the coordinate value C5 (127, 127) is output, and then the coordinate value C6 (194, 147) is obtained when the operation shaft 31a is tilted to the upper right. Operation signal corresponding to It shall be output.

  Further, the main CPU 64 of the information processing apparatus 1 starts executing the moving display program stored in the ROM 70 according to the browser. Then, the main CPU 64 of the information processing apparatus 1 receives the operation signal IOP78 according to the coordinate value (xc, yc) of the analog operation unit 31 transmitted from the controller 20 for each detection time according to the movement program. Each time an operation signal is transmitted, the following movement display process is performed. FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the flow of the movement display process.

  First, when the main CPU 64 receives an operation signal corresponding to the coordinate value C1 from the controller 20 (step S1), the main CPU 64 determines whether or not the coordinate value corresponding to the operation signal is (127, 127) (step S2). If the determination result is negative, the main CPU 64 rewrites the previous coordinate value stored in the main memory 65 with the value of the current coordinate value stored in the main memory 65, and then stores it in the main memory 65. The stored current coordinate value is rewritten to the value of the coordinate value corresponding to the operation signal received in step S1 (step S3). Here, since the current coordinate value is (127, 127) and the value of the coordinate value corresponding to the operation signal received in step S1 is (67, 113), the determination result in step S2 is positive. The previous coordinate value is rewritten to (127, 127), and the current coordinate value is rewritten to (67, 113). Next, a variation between the previous coordinate value and the current coordinate value is calculated (step S4). Specifically, by subtracting the xc component of the previous coordinate value from the xc component of the current coordinate value and subtracting the yc component of the previous coordinate value from the yc component of the current coordinate value, a variation (hereinafter referred to as xh) of each xc component is obtained. And a variation of the yc component (hereinafter referred to as yh). Here, (−60, −14) is calculated as the variation (xh, yh). Next, the calculated variation is added to the screen coordinate value of the pointer P stored in the main memory 65, and the screen coordinate value is updated (step S5). For example, since the screen coordinate value of the pointer P is (200, 150), the variation (−60, −14) is added to this, and the screen coordinate value is updated to (140, 136).

  Next, the main CPU 64 instructs the GPU 68 to draw the pointer P at the display position corresponding to the screen coordinate value calculated in step S5 (step S6). In accordance with this drawing command, the GPU 68 draws the browser image including the pointer P in the frame memory 67, and the CRTC generates a video signal based on the drawn image and supplies it to the screen 11 of the monitor device 10. As a result, for example, the pointer P is displayed at the display position D2 shown in FIG. That is, the pointer P is moved from the display position D1 to the display position D2.

  FIG. 10 shows the coordinate values supplied in step S1 (supply coordinate values), the current coordinate value and the previous coordinate value rewritten in step S3, the variation calculated in step S4, and the update in step S5. The relationship between the screen coordinate value of the pointer P before being updated and the screen coordinate value (new screen coordinate value) of the pointer P after being updated and the display position of the pointer P drawn in step S6 is schematically shown. FIG. The result obtained by the above-described processing of steps S1 to S6 is shown in the first line of FIG.

  Next, when an operation signal corresponding to the coordinate value C2 is transmitted from the controller 20, the main CPU 64 performs the processing from step S1 onward based on the new operation signal. After receiving the operation signal corresponding to the coordinate value C2 transmitted from the controller 20 in step S1, the main CPU 64 proceeds to the process of step S2. Here, since the coordinate value C2 is (67, 74), the determination result of step S2 is negative, and the main CPU 64 performs the process of step S3. Here, since the current coordinate value is (67, 113) and the coordinate value corresponding to the operation signal received in step S1 is (67, 74), the previous coordinate value is rewritten to (67, 113). The current coordinate value is rewritten to (67, 74). Next, the process proceeds to step S4, and (0, -39) is calculated as a variation between the previous coordinate value and the current coordinate value. Then, the process proceeds to step S5, and the screen coordinate value is updated. Here, for example, since the screen coordinate value of the pointer P is (140, 136), the variation (0, -39) is added to this, and the screen coordinate value is updated to (140, 97). The Thereafter, when the main CPU 64 performs the process of step S6 in the same manner as described above, as a result, the pointer P is displayed at the display position D3 shown in FIG. That is, the pointer P is moved from the display position D2 to the display position D3. The result obtained by the processing of the current steps S1 to S6 is shown in the second line of FIG.

  Next, when an operation signal corresponding to the coordinate value C3 is transmitted from the controller 20, based on the new operation signal, the main CPU 64 performs the processing after step S1. After receiving the operation signal corresponding to the coordinate value C3 transmitted from the controller 20 in step S1, the main CPU 64 proceeds to the process in step S2. Here, since the coordinate value C3 is (67, 74), the determination result of step S2 is negative, and the main CPU 64 performs the process of step S3. Here, since the current coordinate value is (67, 74) and the coordinate value corresponding to the operation signal received in step S1 is (67, 74), the previous coordinate value is rewritten to (67, 74). The current coordinate value is rewritten to (67, 74). Next, the process proceeds to step S4, and (0, 0) is calculated as a variation between the previous coordinate value and the current coordinate value. Then, the process proceeds to step S5, and the screen coordinate value is updated. Here, since the screen coordinate value of the pointer P is (140, 97), when the variation (0, 0) is added thereto, the screen coordinate value is updated to (140, 97). Thereafter, when the main CPU 64 performs the process of step S6 in the same manner as described above, as a result, the pointer P is displayed at the display position D3 shown in FIG. That is, the pointer P is kept displayed at the display position D3. The results obtained by the current processing of steps S1 to S6 are shown in the third line of FIG.

  Next, when an operation signal corresponding to the coordinate value C4 is transmitted from the controller 20, based on this new operation signal, the main CPU 64 performs the processing after step S1. After receiving the operation signal corresponding to the coordinate value C4 transmitted from the controller 20 in step S1, the main CPU 64 proceeds to the process in step S2. Here, since the coordinate value C4 is (0, 127), the determination result of step S2 is negative, and the main CPU 64 performs the process of step S3. Here, since the current coordinate value is (67, 74) and the coordinate value corresponding to the operation signal received in step S1 is (0, 127), the previous coordinate value is rewritten to (67, 74). The current coordinate value is rewritten to (0, 127). Next, the process proceeds to step S4, and (−67, 53) is calculated as a variation between the previous coordinate value and the current coordinate value. Then, the process proceeds to step S5, and the screen coordinate value is updated. Here, since the screen coordinate value of the pointer P is (140, 97), the variation (−67, 53) is added to this, and the screen coordinate value is updated to (73, 150). Thereafter, when the main CPU 64 performs the process of step S6 in the same manner as described above, as a result, the pointer P is displayed at the display position D4 shown in FIG. That is, the pointer P is moved and displayed from the display position D3 to the display position D4. The results obtained by the current processing of steps S1 to S6 are shown in the fourth line of FIG.

  Next, when an operation signal corresponding to the coordinate value C5 is transmitted from the controller 20, based on this new operation signal, the main CPU 64 performs the processing after step S1. After receiving the operation signal corresponding to the coordinate value C4 transmitted from the controller 20 in step S1, the main CPU 64 proceeds to the process in step S2. Here, since the coordinate value C5 is (127, 127), the determination result of step S2 is affirmative, and the main CPU 64 performs the process of step S7. In step S7, the current coordinate value stored in the main memory 65 is rewritten to the value of the coordinate value corresponding to the operation signal received in step S1. Here, since the value of the coordinate value corresponding to the operation signal received in step S1 is (127, 127), the current coordinate value is rewritten to (127, 127). Then, the main CPU 64 ends the movement display process. At this time, since the main CPU 64 does not calculate the variation between the current coordinate value and the previous coordinate value and does not update the screen coordinate value, the screen coordinate value remains (73, 150). Since no drawing command is issued to the GPU 68, the state where the pointer P is displayed at the display position D4 shown in FIG. 9 is maintained. The results obtained by the current processing of steps S1, S2, and S7 are shown in the fifth line of FIG.

  Next, when an operation signal corresponding to the coordinate value C6 is transmitted from the controller 20, the main CPU 64 performs the processing after step S1 based on the new operation signal. After receiving the operation signal corresponding to the coordinate value C6 transmitted from the controller 20 in step S1, the main CPU 64 proceeds to the process in step S2. Here, since the coordinate value C6 is (194, 147), the determination result of step S2 is negative, and the main CPU 64 performs the process of step S3. Here, since the current coordinate value is (127, 127) and the value of the coordinate value corresponding to the operation signal received in step S1 is (194, 147), the previous coordinate value is rewritten to (127, 127). The current coordinate value is rewritten to (194, 147). Next, the process proceeds to step S4, and (67, 20) is calculated as a variation between the previous coordinate value and the current coordinate value. Then, the process proceeds to step S5, and the screen coordinate value is updated. Here, since the screen coordinate value of the pointer P is (73, 150), the variation (67, 20) is added to this, and the screen coordinate value is updated to (140, 170). Thereafter, when the main CPU 64 performs the process of step S6 in the same manner as described above, as a result, the pointer P is displayed at the display position D5 shown in FIG. That is, the pointer P is moved and displayed from the display position D4 to the display position D5. The results obtained by the current processing of steps S1 to S6 are shown in the sixth line of FIG.

  As described above, every time the main CPU 64 receives an operation signal corresponding to the coordinate value (xc, yc) from the controller 20, the main CPU 64 performs the processes of steps S1 to S7.

  For example, when the operation button 22d is pressed when the pointer P is at the display position D5, when the main CPU 64 receives an operation signal corresponding to the pressing operation from the controller 20, the item IT1 in FIG. 9 is selected. Is determined, and processing according to the determination result is performed. For example, if the item IT1 is associated with a URL (Uniform Resource Locator) indicating the storage location of other content by a hyperlink, the main CPU 64 accesses the URL via the communication unit 79 to acquire the content. Perform processing such as.

  In this manner, the user moves and displays the pointer P on the screen 11 based on the variation of the coordinate value according to the tilt direction and tilt angle of the operation shaft 31 a of the analog operation unit 31, so that the user can display the analog operation unit 31. The pointer P can be easily moved to a desired display position by operation.

  Further, when the operation shaft 31a of the analog operation unit 31 returns from the tilted state to the non-tilted state within the detection time like the operation corresponding to the coordinate value C5 (127, 127), the operation shaft 31a is tilted. Since the change of the coordinate value until the state returns from the state to the non-tilt state is not taken into consideration, the pointer P can be stopped at the predetermined display position without changing the display position of the pointer P. Then, the user tilts the operation shaft 31a of the analog operation unit 31 again to easily move the display position of the pointer P from the display position to a desired display position regardless of the position on the screen 11. be able to.

  Further, for example, even when the operation shaft 31a is tilted to the maximum extent as in the operation corresponding to the coordinate value C4 (0, 127) described above, the operation shaft 31a is once returned to the non-tilt state and tilted again. The pointer P can be easily moved to a desired display position.

  Further, when the predetermined tilt state of the operation shaft 31a is maintained as in the operation corresponding to the coordinate value C3 (67, 74), the pointer P is set to the predetermined position without changing the display position of the pointer P. Can be displayed statically at the position.

  Therefore, the operability for the user can be improved by the above configuration.

  In addition, when the value of the screen coordinate value (xs, ys) calculated in step S5 is out of the range of the Xs-Ys coordinate, it is desirable to perform a clamp process for correcting it so that it is within the range. For example, when the value of xs becomes smaller than “0”, the value is corrected to “0”, and when the value becomes larger than “200”, the value is corrected to “200”. Similarly, when the value of ys becomes a value smaller than “0”, the value is corrected to “0”, and when the value becomes larger than “300”, the value is changed to “300”. To correct.

  In addition, when the variation (xh, yh) calculated in step S4 is (0, 0), the display position of the pointer P is not changed, so that the processing of step S5 and step S6 is not performed. Also good.

[Modification]
<Modification 1>
In the above-described embodiment, in step S5, the screen coordinate value (xs, ys) is updated by adding the variation (xh, yh) calculated in step S4 to the screen coordinate value (xs, ys). Configured to do. However, the variation (xh, yh) calculated in step S4 may be calculated using a predetermined formula, and the screen coordinate value (xs, ys) may be updated based on the calculation result. good. For example, the variation is calculated using the following formulas (1) and (2), and the calculation result (xe, ye) is obtained.

xe = xh ² × 0.05 (1)
ye = yh ² × 0.05 (2)
The screen coordinate value (xs, ys) is updated by rounding off the value of the calculation result (xe, ye) and adding it to the screen coordinate value (xs, ys).

  For example, as in the first embodiment described above, when the screen coordinate value of the pointer P is (200, 150), an operation signal corresponding to the coordinate value C1 is transmitted, and the variation (xh, yh) is (− 60, -14) is calculated, in step S5, the main CPU 64 calculates the variation using the above-described equations (1) and (2), and calculates the calculation results (-180, -9.8). obtain. When the calculation result is rounded to obtain (−180, −10), this value is added to the screen coordinate value (200, 150) of the pointer P, and the screen coordinate value is updated to (20, 140). To do.

  With such a configuration, as the variation between the current coordinate value and the previous coordinate value is larger than a predetermined value (in this case, “20”), the calculation result is gradually increased as compared with the variation. As the variation becomes smaller than the predetermined value, the calculation result gradually decreases as compared with the variation. By updating the screen coordinate value of the pointer P using such a calculation result, the change in the display position of the pointer P can be accelerated or decelerated. Therefore, for example, the user can accelerate or decelerate the movement of the display position of the pointer P by changing the tilting state and the rotating state of the analog operation unit 31 to be large or small. The movement of the position can be adjusted.

  In the above formulas (1) and (2), the coefficient “0.05” is used for xh and yh, but not limited to this coefficient, various coefficients may be used. Moreover, although the same coefficient was used for xh and yh, different coefficients may be used, or completely different equations may be used.

  Moreover, you may comprise so that the user himself / herself can set the coefficient in Formula (1), (2). For example, on the setting screen as shown in FIG. 11, the controller 20 is operated so that the user can set the coefficient to a desired value by sliding the slider SL. With such a configuration, user operability and convenience can be improved.

  Further, not the variation calculated in step S4 but the coordinate value (xc, yc) corresponding to the operation signal received in step S1 may be calculated using a predetermined formula. good. Then, the obtained calculation result is stored as the current coordinate value or the previous coordinate value, a variation between the stored current coordinate value and the previous coordinate value is calculated, and the calculated variation is added to the screen coordinate value of the pointer P. You may comprise. For example, the coordinate value (xc, yc) is multiplied by a coefficient based on the ratio between the size of the Xc-Xc coordinate and the size of the Xs-Ys coordinate, and the size of the Xc-Xc coordinate is adjusted to the size of the Xs-Ys coordinate. You may do it.

<Modification 2>
In the above-described embodiments and modifications, the coordinate value (xc, yc) and the screen coordinate value (xs, ys) are configured not to use decimal numbers or negative numbers. However, the present invention is not limited to this. A configuration using a negative number may be used.

  In the above-described embodiment, the size of the browser image G is the same as the size of the Xs-Ys coordinate. However, the size of the browser image G may be different from the size of the screen coordinate. The pointer P may be moved and displayed at an arbitrary position on the screen 11, or the pointer P may be moved and displayed only in a predetermined area of the screen 11.

<Modification 3>
In the embodiment described above, the screen coordinate value (xs, ys) of the pointer P is updated each time the process of step S6 is executed. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the screen coordinate values (xs, ys) may be stored for a predetermined number of executions of the process of step S6. That is, for example, each screen coordinate value calculated corresponding to the coordinate values C1 to C6 in the above-described embodiment may be stored in the main memory 65 together. For example, when the user gives an instruction to return the pointer P at the display position D5 to the display position D2, the screen coordinate value (xs, ys) corresponding to the display position is read from the main memory 65 and used. The pointer P may be displayed on the screen 11 and the display position of the pointer P may be retroactive.

<Modification 4>
The object to be moved and displayed on the screen 11 according to the operation in the analog operation unit 31 is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and may be expressed in various shapes, patterns, and colors.

  Further, different objects may be moved and displayed by operations with the analog operation units 31 and 32, respectively. That is, another operation target object different from the pointer P described above may be displayed on the screen 11 together with the pointer P, and the other operation target object may be moved and displayed by an operation in the analog operation unit 32.

  Further, the above-described movement display function is assigned to one of the analog operation units 31 and 32, the above-described conventional movement display function is assigned to the other, and different movement displays are performed depending on the operations in the analog operation units 31 and 32. You may comprise so that a function may be implement | achieved.

<Modification 5>

You may do it. For example, a controller such as a mouse can be obtained by tilting or rotating the operation shaft 31a of the analog operation unit 31 while the operation button 22a is pressed, or by releasing the pressing of the operation button 22a in the tilted or rotated state. It may be configured such that a drag operation, a drop operation, and the like performed in FIG.

<Modification 6>
In the above-described embodiment, the information processing apparatus 1 is configured to store the current coordinate value and the previous coordinate value based on the operation signal corresponding to the coordinate value received from the controller 20. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the CPU 81 of the controller 20 obtains a coordinate value for each detection time in the same manner as in the above-described embodiment. Then, the coordinate value obtained last is stored in the main memory 89 as the current coordinate value, and the coordinate value obtained immediately before the last is stored in the main memory 89 as the previous coordinate value. Then, the current coordinate value and the previous coordinate value stored in the main memory 89 may be transmitted to the information processing apparatus 1.

Then, an operation signal corresponding to the calculated variation may be transmitted to the information processing apparatus 1. If the determination result in step S2 is affirmative, the variation may be set to “0” and an operation signal corresponding to the variation may be transmitted to the information processing apparatus 1. In this case, Alternatively, the operation signal may not be transmitted to the information processing apparatus 1.

However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when the CPU 81 of the controller 20 detects that the tilt state of the operation shaft 31a of the analog operation unit 31 has changed, the CPU 81 obtains a coordinate value corresponding to the tilt state. The operation signal corresponding to the coordinate value may be transmitted to the information processing apparatus 1.

<Modification 8>

However, the process of step S2 is performed after the processes of steps S1 and S3, and the determination result in step S2 is negative. If so, the process after step S4 described above may be performed, and if the determination result in step S2 is affirmative, the moving display process may be terminated.
