Description

  The present invention relates to a screen display device for displaying a content search screen for searching for content stored in an information storage device.

  In recent years, the storage capacity of information storage devices such as hard disks has increased, and it has become possible to store a large amount of content such as Derebi programs. For this reason, various methods for retrieving content from such storage storage devices are known. Yes. As an example, a rectangular parallelepiped block is stored for each content, and “islands” are formed by sorting and stacking them for each genre, and these “islands” are arranged and displayed in a three-dimensional manner. Has been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

  In the technique described in Patent Document 1, for each genre, one or more three-dimensional “islands” in which five rectangular blocks are stacked in the maximum horizontal direction, five in the vertical direction, and five in the depth direction are stacked. By specifying the genre, one of the “islands” of the specified genre is separated for each row (horizontal cuboid block arrangement) and enlarged on the display screen, and In any one of the rows, for each of the five stacks, the corresponding content is displayed as a thumbnail of the video in the foremost cuboid block, and each cuboid in the foremost side of the stack in the other rows In the block, the title is displayed. The line on which the thumbnail of the moving image is displayed can be changed by specifying the line of the cursor by operating the remote controller.

  Note that in the rectangular parallelepiped block where the thumbnail of the video is displayed in the foremost rectangular parallelepiped block, the rectangular parallelepiped blocks arranged in the depth direction are displayed so as to completely overlap. The rectangular parallelepiped blocks arranged in the depth direction are displayed so as to be stacked in a slightly shifted state in the row direction and the column direction, so that the number of stacked cuboids, and thus the quantity of content can be known. ing.

When a predetermined operation is performed with the remote control in the display state in such a genre, the rectangular parallelepiped blocks in the foremost column in the depth direction of each stack of 5 × 5 rectangular parallelepiped blocks move to the tail of the corresponding stack, The content corresponding to the rectangular parallelepiped block in the front row is displayed as a thumbnail of the moving image. Depending on the operation of the remote control, the rectangular parallelepiped block can be moved in the reverse direction.
JP 2007-89088 A

  In the technique described in Patent Document 1, card-like rectangular parallelepiped blocks are stacked in the depth direction and three-dimensionally arranged to form a rectangular parallelepiped block overlap, and a plurality of such rectangular parallelepiped block overlaps, that is, five rows (horizontal direction). In addition, the content of the rectangular parallelepiped blocks is displayed as a moving image in the frontmost rectangular parallelepiped block, and the rectangular parallelepiped block in the frontmost row of the plurality of rectangular parallelepiped blocks is moved to the end of the same overlap. Thus, by displaying the content with the next rectangular parallelepiped block in the forefront row, the content can be searched so that the cuboid blocks having different contents appear in the front row in sequence for each overlapping of the rectangular parallelepiped blocks. I am doing so.

  By the way, in the technique described in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, the rectangular parallelepiped block in the foremost row of the rectangular parallelepiped blocks is moved to the tail of the same overlap, so that the next rectangular parallelepiped block becomes the rectangular parallelepiped block in the forefront row. As a result, it is possible to recognize the sequential contents as the first rectangular parallelepiped block in order, but the rectangular parallelepiped block that once became the first front row is again the first front row. It will be the content of.

  In this case, in the technique described in Patent Document 1, when the number of rectangular parallelepiped blocks that overlap each other is as small as five, it is considered that there is no separate problem, but the number of blocks of one rectangular parallelepiped is large. In such a case, it is difficult for the user to accurately store the content displayed in each rectangular parallelepiped block. For this reason, the rectangular parallelepiped block once becomes the frontmost row again. However, it is not noticeable, that is, it is impossible to instantly recognize that the content has already been viewed once, and the same operation may be repeated again, and a useless operation is performed.

  In addition, a plurality of rows formed by overlapping the plurality of rectangular parallelepiped blocks are displayed on the display screen at the same time, and there may be no rectangular parallelepiped block of the content desired by the user in the overlapping of the rectangular parallelepiped blocks of one row, For this reason, when such a rectangular parallelepiped block is not found, as described above, even if the rectangular parallelepiped block once becomes the front row again, the same operation may be repeated again without being noticed. Will be big.

  Further, in the technique described in Patent Document 1, since the content is displayed in the rectangular parallelepiped blocks in the foremost column by overlapping the rectangular parallelepiped blocks in one row, it is displayed for each of the rectangular parallelepiped blocks in the foremost column. The content needs to be confirmed, and the user needs to move his / her line of sight to each rectangular parallelepiped block. If there is no desired content in these rectangular parallelepiped blocks, the line of sight must be moved to the operation surface of the remote control to operate the remote control in order to set the next rectangular parallelepiped block in the front row. Until a rectangular parallelepiped block of the content is found, the movement of the line of sight and the operation of the remote control must be performed, which is very time-consuming and time consuming for the user.

  Further, as described above, the remote control requires an operation button for changing the frontmost rectangular parallelepiped block, and when a rectangular parallelepiped block of a desired content is found from a plurality of frontmost rectangular parallelepiped blocks. In order to select the rectangular parallelepiped block of the desired content and display the content, an operation button for focusing this rectangular parallelepiped block with the cursor and an operation button for determining and displaying the content are also required. When the desired content cannot be searched in one row, an operation button for changing to another row is also necessary, and various buttons need to be provided on the remote control as described above. When operating such a remote control, it is necessary to move the line of sight to this remote control and the situation on the display screen Flip to become a necessary operation of the operation button, it will be forced to the user Do not complicated and time-consuming operation.

  Furthermore, in the overlap of a plurality of (5) cuboid blocks in one row where content is displayed in the cuboid block in the foremost column, only this cuboid block in the foremost column is displayed, and the other plurality of cuboid blocks are in the foremost column. It is completely hidden behind the rectangular parallelepiped block. In this way, there seems to be no particular problem when the number of cuboid blocks in the overlap of cuboid blocks is small, but when there are a large number of cuboid blocks, how many cuboid blocks are stacked in this overlap. It is unclear whether the rectangular block currently displayed in the front row is located in this overlap, that is, whether this search is in the early stage, the middle stage, or the end stage It is difficult to instantly understand whether or not the search is performed, and it is difficult to know how far the search operation should be performed, and the search becomes very difficult.

  Furthermore, when the contents of the rectangular parallelepiped blocks in the forefront row of a plurality of rectangular parallelepiped blocks in one row are displayed at the same time, the display area of each content is reduced, which makes it very difficult to see, and for each row. If the number of rectangular parallelepiped blocks is reduced, the number of remote control operations for changing rows increases and the operation becomes complicated.

For example, in the card icon 32 with the card ID 26a “0001” registered in the card information tables 26 and 29 in FIG. 5, the position of this card icon in the virtual three-dimensional space is (x0, y0, z0). The posture is (yaw0, pitch0, roll0) depending on the yaw, pitch, and roll angles. For other card icons 32a and 32b, in the card information tables 26 and 29, arrangement information according to the position and orientation of the card icon in the virtual three-dimensional space is set and registered.

  In this way, the card icons 32 corresponding to all the contents to be searched are virtually assumed to be arranged in respective positions at respective positions in the virtual three-dimensional space of the card icons. The position and orientation information is registered in the card information tables 26 and 29 as the arrangement information 26h.

  The display state 1 is a view of the arrangement state of each card icon 32 in the virtual three-dimensional space of the card icon as viewed from the direction parallel to the Z axis. One of the card icons is a card of one playing card. It is displayed as if playing cards are scattered on the table. As described above, this can be realized because the card icons have information on different positions and different postures.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram showing the arrangement state (position, posture) of each card icon 32 in the virtual three-dimensional space of the card icon as viewed from the Z-axis direction, and is displayed on the display screen 2 of the screen display device 1. The portion to be processed is a region indicated by a part of the frame 2 ′. The area in the frame 2 'corresponds to the area of the display screen 2, and the frame 2' is displayed on the display screen 2 by moving in parallel to the XY plane of the card icon in the virtual three-dimensional space. The area in the virtual three-dimensional space of the card icon to be changed is changed so that another card icon 32 can be displayed. Further, by moving this frame 2 'parallel to the Z-axis of the virtual three-dimensional space of card icons, the area displayed on the display screen 2 can be enlarged or reduced, and a specific card icon 32 can be enlarged. It can be displayed or reduced to display the arrangement state of the card icon 32 in a larger area.

  In FIG. 5, the related card ID 26 i represents a content related to each content by a card icon 32. By using the related card ID 26i, the card icon 32 of the related content is displayed in association with the content search screen, and the content is automatically displayed in the display state (display state 3) in which the content is displayed on the entire display screen 2. The content can be switched to display. For this reason, in the related card ID 26i, the card ID 26a of the related content is registered, and information indicating the switching point of display of the related content is also registered.

  For example, when viewing the content with the card ID 26a of “0001”, the card ID 26a of “0003” and “0004” is registered as the related content with the related card ID 26i, and “00: 30: 10 = 0003”. ”,“ 00: 39: 10 = 0004 ”, and time information is registered in association with the card ID 26a. This is because the card ID 26a is 30 minutes and 10 seconds after the reproduction of the content with the card ID 26a“ 0001 ”is started. This shows that the content of ID 603a is switched to “0003” and the content of card ID 26a is switched to playback of “0004” after 39 minutes and 10 seconds. This time information determines the playback start time of the content related to the content that has started to be played first, and the content whose playback is switched from the content that has been started to play is related to the content that has started playback. Only the contents registered in the related card ID 26i.

  Therefore, although the card ID 26a is registered as “0006” and “0004” in the related card ID 26i of the content whose card ID 26a is “0003”, as described above, the card ID 26a is reproduced first at “0001”. Even if the content with the card ID 26a of “0003” is started to be played back, the content of the content with the card ID 26a of “0001” is related to the content of the content with the card ID of “0001” regardless of the registered content in the related card ID 26i. As described above, the content with the card ID 26a is switched to the reproduction of the content with “0004” in accordance with the registered content with the card ID 26i.

  Next, an embodiment of a method for displaying a content search screen according to the present invention using the screen display device 1 having the above configuration will be described.

  FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing a specific example of a method for displaying a content search screen on the screen display device according to the present invention. Hereinafter, a description will be given with reference to FIG. In this specific example, the content search mode is set when the power is turned on, but the content search mode may be set by a predetermined operation.

  In FIG. 9, when the screen display device 1 is powered on (step S1-1), the information processing device 18 reads the reproduction program 25 from the hard disk 20 and writes it into the memory 19 (step S1-2), and executes it. Start (step S1-3). As a result, the information processing apparatus 18 reads the card information table 26 from the hard disk 20, creates a card icon 32 (FIG. 6) for each content based on the card information table 26, and arranges each icon 32 in the card information table 26. Based on the information 26h, as described with reference to FIG. 7, the card icon 32 is placed in the specified position in the specified position in the virtual three-dimensional space, and the card icon 32 is initialized (step S1-4). 8 so that the card icon 32 corresponding to the first card ID “0001” in the card information table 26 is located at the center position of the display frame 2 ′. The viewpoint position is set and the viewpoint is initialized (step S1-5).

  Note that the information stored in the remote storage 24 is also read by the reproduction program 25 described above, but since this is the same as the information read from the hard disk 20, the information read from the hard disk 20 will be described below.

  The information processing device 18 processes the image information in the display frame 2 ′ in a state where the position and orientation of each card icon 32 are initially set and the viewpoint is initially set as described above, and supplies the processed information to the information display device 15. The image information is displayed on the display screen 2 (FIGS. 1 and 2) as a content search screen. At this time, with the card icon 32 displayed in the center of the display screen 2 (in the above case, the card icon corresponding to the first card ID “0001”), the moving image file 28 corresponding thereto is read from the hard disk 20. In the other card icons 32 displayed in the image display area 34 (FIG. 6), the display image file 27 corresponding to the card icon 32 is read from the hard disk 20 and pasted and displayed in the image display area 34 (step). S1-6).

  In this case, as shown in FIG. 10A, the card icons 32 are displayed in a state of being distributed and arranged in the virtual three-dimensional space of the card icons. (Distributed display state) It is called 1. Further, as will be described later, other display states can be displayed by touching the touch operation units 3 and 11 of the screen display device 1, one of which is shown in FIG. 10B. In addition, there is a display state in which the card icons 2 are divided into two groups and superimposed, and this is referred to as a display state (overlapping display state) 2. The other is a display state in which the moving image file 28 of the searched content is read from the hard disk 19 and displayed as a moving image. In this case, as shown in FIG. Multiple display is possible, and this is called a display state (multiple display state) 3. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 10 (d), the other one displays the selected card icon and the card icon of the content related to the content of the card icon. Related display state) 4.

  As described above, in this embodiment, four types of display states 1 to 4 can be selected by operating the touch operation units 3 and 11, and depending on the display state displayed on the display screen 2, The reproduction position selection means and the multiplexed information are also displayed on the display screen 2 (step S1-7 in FIG. 9). Note that the menu button, reproduction position selection means, and multiplexed information displayed in step S1-7 are not automatically displayed after a certain period of time.

  When a touch operation is performed in the touch operation units 3 and 11 of the screen display device 1 (“Yes” in step S1-8 in FIG. 9), and this touch operation is for ending the display of the content search screen (FIG. 9 (“Yes” in step S1-9), the operation by the reproduction program 25 is finished, and the display of the content search screen is finished (step S1-12 in FIG. 9), but this touch operation is performed on the content search screen. When it is for selection or operation (“No” in step S1-9 in FIG. 9), processing according to the instruction by this touch operation is executed (step S1-10 in FIG. 9), FIG. As will be described later, if the process in step S1-10 is a process of setting the card viewpoint position / angle movement / change target to a value corresponding to the changed state, the movement / change is performed. In order to display the movement to the mark as a moving image, the position and orientation of the card icon 32 are changed to a divided stationary state in the middle of moving to the movement / change target by dividing the moving image by time (in FIG. 9). Step S1-11). After that, drawing is performed again in steps S1-6 and S1-7, and if there is no input operation (“No” in step S1-8 in FIG. 9), the previous display is performed again in step S1-11. The position and posture of the card icon 32 are changed to the stationary state at the next time after the stationary state (step S1-11 in FIG. 9). In this way, by repeating the series of steps S1-11, S1-6, S1-7, and S1-8 at a high speed, the state of change to the final movement / update target can be displayed as a moving image. .

  Here, the change of the display state performed according to the touch operation by the touch operation units 3 and 11 in step S1-10 will be described.

  FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing a specific example of step S1-10 in FIG.

  In this figure, when a touch operation other than a content search screen display end instruction is performed by the touch operation units 3 and 11 of the screen display device 1 (steps S1-8 and 1-9 in FIG. 9), the touch operation is performed. The instruction input from the accompanying input device 16 is determined. If this instruction input is an instruction to change the display state (“Yes” in step 2-1 in FIG. 11), a value corresponding to the display state in which the card icon 32, the position and orientation of the viewpoint are designated is set. It is set (step 2-2 in FIG. 11), and the process proceeds to step S1-10 in FIG. 9 (step 2-11 in FIG. 11). In step S1-11 in FIG. 9, the card icon 32 and the position and orientation of the viewpoint are set to the set values, and the content search screen in the designated display state is displayed on the display screen 2 (step in FIG. 9). S1-6).

  If the instruction input from the input device 16 does not instruct to change the display state (“No” in step 2-1 in FIG. 11), it indicates an operation in the display state 1 (FIG. 11). In step 2-3, “Yes” in step 2-3), the card icon 32 in this display state 1 based on this command, and the target value of the position and orientation of the viewpoint are set (step 2-4 in FIG. 11), and FIG. In step S1-11, the card icon 32 and the position and orientation of the viewpoint are set to this target value.

  If the instruction input from the input device 16 does not instruct to change the display state (“No” in step 2-1 in FIG. 11), it indicates an operation in the display state 2 (FIG. 11). In step 2-5, “Yes”), the card icon 32 in this display state 1 and the target value of the viewpoint position and orientation based on this command are set (step 2-6 in FIG. 11), and FIG. In step S1-11, the card icon 32 and the position and orientation of the viewpoint are set to this target value.

  If the instruction input from the input device 16 does not instruct to change the display state (“No” in step 2-1 in FIG. 11), it indicates an operation in the display state 3 (FIG. 11). In step 2-7, "Yes" in step 2-7), the card icon 32 in this display state 1 and the target value of the position and orientation of the viewpoint based on this command are set (step 2-8 in FIG. 11), and FIG. In step S1-11, the card icon 32 and the position and orientation of the viewpoint are set to this target value.

  If the instruction input from the input device 16 does not instruct to change the display state (“No” in step 2-1 in FIG. 11), it indicates an operation in the display state 4 (FIG. 11). In step 2-9, “Yes”), the card icon 32 in this display state 1 and the target value of the viewpoint position and orientation based on this command are set (step 2-10 in FIG. 11). In step S1-11, the card icon 32 and the position and orientation of the viewpoint are set to this target value.

  FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing a specific example of step S2-4 in FIG. This will be described using the display of the content search screen in the display state 1 shown in FIG. 13 on the display screen 2 of the screen display device 1 shown in FIG. The same is true. In addition, here, the storage information in the hard disk 20 in FIG. 4 is used, but the same applies when the storage information in the remote storage 24 is used.

FIG. 13 is a diagram showing a specific example of the search operation procedure in the display state 1, in which 32 ₁ , 32 ₂ , and 32 ₃ are card icons, and 3R is a touch operation unit, which corresponds to the previous drawing. The same reference numerals are given to the portions, and overlapping description is omitted.

In the display state 1, as shown in FIG. 13A, a content search screen in which card icons 32 ₁ , 32 ₂ , 32 ₃ ,... Are distributed on the display screen 2 of the screen display device 1 is displayed. One of them, here, a card icon 32 ₁ is displayed in the center of the display screen 2. The one card icon 32 ₁ is in a state in which the content search screen is zoomed in (enlarged) so as to be displayed largely in the center of the display screen 2, and accordingly, a card icon near the card icon 321 is displayed. 32 ₂ and 32 ₃ are displayed partially protruding from the display screen 2.

The information processing apparatus 18 normally displays a display image such as a thumbnail of the corresponding content in the image display area 34 (FIG. 6) of the card icon 32, but executes a moving image processing process to be described later. Only the card icon 32 ₁ displayed at the center of the display screen 2 displays the moving image file 28 (FIG. 4) of the corresponding content read from the hard disk 20 (FIG. 4) as a moving image. Thereby, in one card icon 32 ₁ in the center part of the display screen 2, this moving image is enlarged and displayed, and the contents can be easily confirmed.

Such processing is displayed at the center of the display screen 2 by the moving image processing process when the information processing apparatus 18 (FIG. 4) displays the display in the display state 1 in steps S1-4 and S1-5 in FIG. The moving image file 28 of the content corresponding to the card icon 32 ₁ is read, and the content search screen in the display state 1 is displayed on the display screen 2 in step S1-6, and this moving image file is displayed as an image of the card icon 32 ₁ . This is displayed as a moving image in the area 34.

Next, in order to search for content, as shown in FIG. 13 (b), the touch operation unit 3R on the right side of the screen display device 1 may be touched with a fingertip (other than the fingertip, but in the following, touched with the fingertip. , And the fingertip is slid down (or slid) as indicated by an arrow while touching the touch operation unit 13R, as shown in FIG. 13C. A command corresponding to this operation is input from 16, and in response to this command, the information processing apparatus 18 ends the display of the moving image on the card icon 32 ₁ (“Yes” in step S 3-1), and the card icon 32 _1. terminate the moving image processing process for (step S3-2), for the next card icon 32 ₂ to be displayed in the center of the display screen 2, the moving image file 28 corresponding running video processing process To start only write (step S3-3). Then, as described above, according to the slide of the fingertip touching the touch operation unit 3R, the target position of the viewpoint is set so that zoom-out (reduction display) occurs on the display screen 2, and the set value is sequentially changed. (Step S3-6).

Thereby, in step S1-11 in FIG. 9, along with the change of the target value, the frame 2 ′ shown in FIG. 6, and accordingly, the viewpoint moves in the direction away from the XY plane in the Z-axis direction in FIG. Is performed by the information processing device 18, and the display screen 2 is zoomed out so that the scale ratio is reduced so that the area displayed on the display screen 2 spreads around the card icon 32 _1. . When the reading of the moving image file 28 by the moving image processing process for the card icon 32 ₂ is completed (step S3-4), the moving image processing process is instructed to reproduce the moving image, and the moving image is displayed in the image display area 34 of the card icon 32 ₂ Is displayed.

Next, as shown in FIG. 13D, when the fingertip is released from the touch operation unit 3 </ b> R, a command corresponding to this is input from the input unit 16, and the scale rate is small on the display screen 2 by the information processing device 18. in became zoom out state, the process of step S1-11 in FIG. 9, as in the above-mentioned card icon 32 ₂ is positioned at the center of the display screen 2, the content search screen scrolling scale of the same reduction as above To do. During this time, the process of step S3-1,3-4,3-5 is performed, video is continuously displayed in the image display area 34 of the card icon 32 _2. The target position of the viewpoint for such scrolling is also set in the process of the previous step S3-6, and the process of step S1-11 in FIG. 9 is performed so that the viewpoint moves to this target position. It is.

Then, when the card icon 32 ₂ has reached the center position of the display screen 2, and in this case as well, when the fingertip does not touch the touch operation unit 3R, as shown in FIG. search screen scrolling finished, the card icon 32 ₂ above is arranged at the center of the display screen 2, also this time, FIG. 13 (a), the zoom back to the original scale of the in (b) (enlarged display) is performed, the card icon 32 ₂ is enlarged and displayed. The viewpoint position in this case is also set as the target position in step S3-6, and the process of step S1-11 in FIG. 9 is performed so that the designation moves to this target value. In this case, the viewpoint is moved in parallel to the Z-axis of the virtual three-dimensional space shown in FIG. 7 and in the opposite direction to the zoom-out shown in FIG.

When the state shown in FIG. 13C is changed to the state shown in FIG. 13E, the card icon 32 ₂ arranged at the center of the display screen ₂ is touched as shown in FIG. 13B. It may be enlarged and displayed (the reduction rate is smaller) than before the operation is started, and may return to the original size before the start of the touch operation after a predetermined time has elapsed.

In this way, the next card icon 32 ₂ can be set to the state displayed at the center of the display screen 2, but in order to display the next card icon 32 ₃ in the same manner, FIG. The operation from b) may be performed.

  As described above, in the display state 1, the other card icons 32 are sequentially displayed in the center of the display screen 2 by scrolling, so that necessary contents can be searched. In this case, since one card icon 32 displayed in the central portion of the display screen 2 is enlarged, the contents displayed on the card icon 32 can be easily confirmed, and the card icon 32 is moved. The operation to be performed can be performed only by operating the touch operation unit 3R provided on the side of the display screen 2. Therefore, the operation can be performed while viewing the content search screen, and the operation becomes very easy.

  Further, in the scroll of the display state 1, when moving the content, the content is moved from the enlarged display through the reduced display whose reduction rate is reduced, so that it is arranged around the card icon displayed in the center before the movement. At the time of the enlarged display, a display screen such as a thumbnail of the cart icon that has not been displayed is displayed. Therefore, the content searcher can recognize content other than the predetermined card icon to be moved next by scrolling, and can perform content search even during scrolling, thereby shortening the search time.

  Furthermore, since the content searcher continuously moves by scrolling through the reduced display, the content searcher can change the position of the card icon displayed in the central part before moving or the card icon displayed in the central part after moving. , Content other than the card icon displayed in the center before and after scrolling can be recognized, and the content can be searched for using the relative position information with the predetermined card icon, making it easy to search become. Further, by storing the unique posture of the card icon separately from the relative position information, it is possible to search for content using the posture as a clue, and the search becomes easy.

  Note that the order of the card icons displayed in the center of the display screen 2 is determined in advance. For example, the order of the card IDs 26a registered in the card information tables 26 and 29 (FIG. 5) may be used. However, the order may be determined based on other information. The direction of scrolling is determined by the positional relationship between the card icon 32 currently displayed in the center of the display screen 2 and the card icon 32 displayed next in the center.

  FIG. 14 is a diagram showing the flow of operations when switching from display state 1 to another display state, 3L is a touch operation unit, 37a to 37e are selection buttons, 38a and 38b are card groups, The parts corresponding to are assigned the same reference numerals, and redundant explanations are omitted.

  In the display state of the content search screen in the display state 1 shown in FIG. 14A, when the touch operation unit 3L on the left side of the display screen 2 is touched with a fingertip as shown in FIG. A plurality of (in this case, five) selection buttons 37a to 37e are displayed along the touch operation unit 3L on the left side. Here, the selection button 37a is a button for selecting the display state 2, the selection button 37b is a button for selecting and determining the card icon 32 displayed in the center of the display screen 2, and so on.

  When the selection button 37b is used to select and determine the card icon 32 displayed at the center of the display screen 2, the moving image files 28 and 31 (FIG. 4) of the content corresponding to the card icon 32 are used to display the moving image on the entire display screen 2. An image is displayed, and at the same time, as shown in FIG. 10C, an image in the display state 3 in which the additional information 36 is displayed is displayed.

  As shown in FIG. 14B, when the touch operation unit 3L is touched with the fingertip and the selection buttons 37a to 37e are displayed, the selection button 37 closest to the touch position on the touch operation unit 3L of the fingertip is displayed. In this case, the selection button 37b is selected and displayed as focused by the cursor as shown by a thick frame.

  Here, in order to display the display state 2, if the finger is slid to the side of the selection button 37a while touching the touch operation unit 3L, the selection button 37a is displayed as shown in FIG. 14C. When an operation such as a double tap is performed on the touched position, an instruction accompanying the operation is input from the input unit 16 (FIG. 4) (step S2-1 in FIG. 11), and the information processing device 18 (FIG. 4). Recognizes this and performs processing for display state 2 (step S2-2 in FIG. 11).

  As a result, the selection button 37a is selected and determined, and as shown in FIG. 14D, all the card icons 32 are divided into two groups and stacked to form two card groups 38a and 38b. The display is switched to the content search screen display in display state 2 indicating the state.

  Similarly, when the selection button 37b is selected and determined, an image in the display state 3 as shown in FIG. 10C is displayed. Note that the content search screens in the display states 1 and 2 shown in FIGS. 10A and 10B are displayed in a state where the display screen 2 is horizontally long. When the screen display device 1 is changed so that the display screen 2 becomes vertically long in the display state of the screen, the display is automatically switched to the content search screen in the display state 4 as shown in FIG. When there is such a display state switching instruction, the information processing apparatus 18 (FIG. 4) performs the process of step S2-2 in FIG. 11 and displays the content search screen in the instructed display state on the display screen 2. Let

  In some cases, the user may become accustomed to the operation on the screen shown in FIG. 14 and unconsciously remember the display positions of the selection buttons 37a to 37e. In such a case, it may seem troublesome to select and decide the desired selection button 37 by the method shown in FIG. For this reason, in this embodiment, in the state shown in FIG. 15A, for example, by performing a touch operation such as double-tapping or strongly pressing near the selection button 37a in the touch operation unit 3L, FIG. As shown in b), the display can be immediately switched to the content search screen in the display state 2. Thereby, the trouble of operation can be saved.

Here, the moving image processing process will be described.
FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing a specific example of the moving image processing process.

  The information processing device 18 (FIG. 4) is set with a main process for the screen display device 1 to execute an operation. When the power is turned on, the processing shown in FIG. 9 is executed. When the reproduction program 25 (FIG. 4) is read from the hard disk 20 (FIG. 4) by executing this processing, a moving image processing process is generated from the main process in FIG. 16 (step S3-1). By executing this moving image processing process, the moving image file 28 (FIG. 4) of the content designated from the main process is read from the hard disk 20 (FIG. 4) and recorded in the memory 19 (FIG. 4) (step S3). -2). When this reading is completed, the process waits until there is a reproduction instruction from the main process (step S3-3).

  The above operation is a processing operation performed during the processing of steps S1-3 to S-5 in FIG. 9 after the power is turned on, and the processing operation from step S3-3 on the next card icon 32 in FIG. It is.

  Next, when there is a playback instruction from the main process, the video information of the first frame and the audio information in that period are played from this memory 19 for the moving image file 28 read from the hard disk 20 and recorded in the memory 19. (Step S3-4), the data is stored in an area corresponding to the image display area 34 (FIG. 6) of the card icon 32 of the designated content on the memory 19 (Step S3-5). The processing operations in steps S3-4 and S3-5 are repeated until an end instruction is issued from the main process (step S3-6). As a result, the content is displayed as a moving image in the image display area 34 of the card icon 32 of the designated content, and this is during the repeated processing operation of steps S1-6 to S1-11 in FIG. It is done.

  FIG. 17 is a flowchart showing a specific example of step S2-6 in FIG. This will be described using the display of the content search screen in the display state 2 shown in FIGS. 18 and 19 on the display screen 2 of the screen display device 1 shown in FIG. 1, but the screen display device 1 shown in FIGS. Even so, it is the same.

  Here, FIG. 18 and FIG. 19 are diagrams showing specific examples of the search operation procedure in the display state 2, respectively, 38c is a card group, 39a to 39e are selection buttons, and FIG. The same reference numerals are given to the portions corresponding to the outgoing drawings, and the overlapping description is omitted.

In the display state 2, as shown in FIG. 18A, a content search screen in which two card groups 38 a and 38 b loaded with icon cards 32 are arranged is displayed on the display screen 2 of the screen display device 1. The display positions of the card groups 38a and 38b are set so that one card group, in this case, the top card icon 32 ₁ of the card group 38a is displayed in the center of the display screen 2. ing. In the card icon 32 ₁ at the top of the card group 38a, the corresponding content is displayed as a moving image in the image display area 34 (FIG. 6) by the above moving image processing process (step of FIG. 17). S4-1, S4-2). In these card groups 38a and 38b, the card icons 32 are all shifted and loaded so that at least their edges can be seen, and the amount of card icons 32 and the search amount in these card groups 38a and 38b are at a glance. As you can see.

Here, as shown in FIG. 18B, when the touch operation unit 3R on the right side of the screen display device 1 is touched with a fingertip, a command corresponding thereto is input from the input unit 16 (FIG. 4), and the information processing device 18, since this command is a command by touching the touch operation unit 3 </ b> R, it is determined that there is a command for “card icon switching operation” (step S <b> 4-3 in FIG. 17), and the main process ends with the video processing process Is performed (step S4-4 in FIG. 17). Thereby, the display of the moving image in the image display area 34 of the card icon 32 ₁ of the card group 38a ends (this is the operation in step S3-7 in FIG. 16).

Then, as shown in FIG. 16, the main process generates a moving image processing process, and the top card icon 32 ₂ of the other card group 38b is set as the next card icon, and the content corresponding to this card icon 32 ₂ is displayed. video file 28 is processed in step S3-2,3-3 of Figure 16 to be stored in the memory 19 is read from the hard disk 20 is performed (Sutebbu S4-5 in FIG. 17), furthermore, the card icon 32 ₂ The value of the target position as the movement destination is set (step S4-6 in FIG. 17).

Here, the target position is on the card group 38a, and as shown in FIG. 18C, when the fingertip is touched to the touch operation unit 3R and is slid downward, the step in FIG. 9 is performed. S1-11, S1-6~S1-9, by repeating the processing of S1-10, the card icon 32 ₂ is moved from the card group 38b toward the card group 38a. At the same time, the steps of FIG. 16 S3-4, the processing of S3-5 is repeatedly carried out, the moving image file 28 is continuously displayed as a moving image on the image display area 34 of the card icon 32 _2.

Then, as shown in FIG. 18D, the card icon 32 ₂ is slightly shifted from the card icon 32 ₁ in the card group 38a and overlapped, and the moving image continues to be displayed in the image display area 34. Thereby, in the card group 38a, the amount of the card icon 32 can be known at a glance. This state continues until the next operation is performed (step S1-8 in FIG. 9).

  When the reproduction of the moving image is completed, the processing of the information processing device 18 (FIG. 4) proceeds to step S1-10 via step S1-9 in FIG. 9, and step S4-1 in FIG. , S4-2 is performed, and the moving image is reproduced again and displayed in the image display area 34.

  Further, when the next card icon 32 of the card group 38b is moved to the card group 38a in the state of FIG. 18D, the operation from FIG. 14B may be repeated.

  By changing the operation direction of the fingertip on the touch operation unit 3R to the opposite direction, the moving direction of the card icon 32 can be changed from the card group 38a to the card group 38b. In this case, the display of the moving image in the image display area 34 of the moving card icon 32 ends, and instead, the image display area of the card icon 32 that is the top of the card icons 32 remaining in the card group 38a. At 34, a moving image is displayed.

  In this way, in the display state 2, since only the two card groups 38a and 38b are displayed, these card groups 38a and 38b can be displayed in a large size, and the frontmost card in one card group 38a. The content displayed by the icon 32 can be displayed in a large size, and the content can be easily confirmed. The card group 38b that is not displayed as a moving image with the card icon 32 in the front row may be displayed so that a part thereof protrudes from the display screen 2, and the card groups 38a and 38b can be enlarged and displayed. Thus, the content of the card icon 32 in the front row of the card group 38a can be displayed in an enlarged manner. Even in this case, the edge of the card group 38b is displayed so that the edge of the card group 38b can be seen. Therefore, the amount of card icons and the search amount of the card group 38b can be grasped at a glance.

  Further, by touching the touch operation unit 3R on the right side of the display screen 2 with a fingertip, the card icons 32 can be moved one by one from the one card group to the other card group. Since the card icon 32 of the content to be searched can be found, the operation can be performed while viewing the display screen 2, and the operation becomes easy. In other words, the search is performed by moving the card icon 32 one by one, and the area where the card icon is displayed is within the area where one card group is displayed. Content search can be performed. For this reason, the time to move the line of sight can be omitted, and the search time can be shortened.

  Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 18 (c), when an operation method of sliding the touch operation unit 3R is adopted, the card icon can be operated to handle a playing card in a pseudo manner. It becomes easy to do. This is because the slide operation is an operation in a plane parallel to the display screen, and the moving direction of the card icon is also a movement in a plane parallel to the display screen.

  When the left touch operation unit 3L of the screen display device 1 is touched with a fingertip in the state shown in FIG. 19A similar to FIG. 18A, the left side of the display screen 2 is shown in FIG. 19B. A plurality of (in this case, five) selection buttons 39a to 39e are displayed along the touch operation unit 3L. Here, for example, the selection button 39a is a selection button for selecting the display state 1, and the selection button 39b is a button for selecting and determining the card icon 32 of the card group 38a displayed in the center of the display screen 2. Further, for example, the selection button 39c is a selection button for switching the card group.

  When the touch operation unit 3L is touched with the fingertip and the selection buttons 39a to 39e are displayed, the selection button 39 closest to the touch position of the fingertip on the touch operation unit 3L, in this case, the selection button 39b is displayed. In the selected state, as shown by a thick frame, it is displayed by being focused by the cursor.

  Here, in order to switch the card group in the display state 2, when the fingertip is slid to the side of the selection button 39c while touching the touch operation unit 3L, the selection button 39c is displayed as shown in FIG. When the focus position is strongly pressed, or an operation such as double-tapping or re-touching is performed, an instruction of “card group rearrangement operation” is input from the input unit 16 (FIG. 4). As a result, the information processing apparatus 18 (FIG. 4) determines that this instruction is a “card group switching operation” (step S4-7 in FIG. 17).

Thereby, as shown in FIG. 16, the information processing apparatus 18 generates a moving image processing process in the main process, and displays the card icon 32 ₃ that is the uppermost position (hereinafter referred to as the front row) of the rearranged card group. The process of steps S3-2 and 3-3 in FIG. 16 in which the moving image file 28 of the corresponding content is read from the hard disk 20 and stored in the memory 19 is performed (step S4-9 in FIG. 17), and the card icon 32 _{2 is} further processed. Each time, the target position and orientation values to be moved are set (step S4-10 in FIG. 17).

Here, the target position and posture are the positions and postures of the respective card icons 32 when all the card icons 32 are stacked to form the same card group, and the processing in step S1-11 in FIG. Thus, as shown in FIG. 19D, all the card icons 32 are collected and stacked into one card group 38c. In this case, in the card icon 32 ₃ in the front row of the card group 38c, the content corresponding to the image display area 34 is displayed as a moving image by the moving image file 28 stored in the memory 19. In this card group 38c, the card icons 32 are all shifted and loaded so that at least the edges thereof can be seen, so that the amount of card icons 32 and the search amount in this card group 38c can be understood at a glance. ing.

  When shifting from the display state shown in FIG. 19C to the display state shown in FIG. 19D, the card icons 32 in the card group 38b are automatically and quickly moved to the card group 38a one by one. Alternatively, all the card icons 32 of the card groups 38a and 38b are once scattered as shown in FIG. 8, and then in a predetermined order (for example, FIG. The card IDs 26a set in the card information tables 26 and 29 shown in FIG.

  When the card icon switching operation shown in FIG. 18 is performed in the state shown in FIG. 19D, the card icons 32 are sequentially moved one by one to form another card group. In this case, when the card icon 32 is moved one by one in the card group 38c, the processing of steps S4-3 to S4-6 in FIG. 17 is performed each time and appears next in the card group 38c. The moving image is displayed with the card icon 32.

  In this way, the card group can be recreated, and the content search can be easily performed again.

  FIG. 20 is a flowchart showing a specific example of step S2-8 in FIG. This will be described using the display of the content search screen in the display state 3 shown in FIGS. 21 to 23 on the display screen 2 of the screen display device 1 shown in FIG. 1, but the screen display device 1 shown in FIGS. Even so, it is the same.

  Here, FIGS. 21 to 23 are diagrams showing specific examples of the search operation procedure in the display state 3, where 3D is a touch operation unit, 40 is a reproduction position selection means, 41 is a time scale, and 42 is a time slider. , 43a to 43e are selection buttons, 44a and 44b are card ID icons, and parts corresponding to those in the previous drawings are given the same reference numerals and redundant description is omitted.

  When the selection determination operation of the selection button 37b is performed in the display state of the content search screen in the display state 1 shown in FIG. 14B, an instruction accompanying this operation is input from the input unit 16 (FIG. 4) (in FIG. 11). In step S2-1), the information processing apparatus 18 (FIG. 4) recognizes this and performs processing for the display state 3 (step S2-2 in FIG. 11). Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 21A, instead of the display state 1 or the display state 2, the content (moving image) corresponding to the card icon 32 displayed at the center of the display screen 2 at this time is displayed on the display screen. 2 is switched to the display state 3 displayed on the whole. Similarly, when the selection button 39b is selected and operated in the display state of the content search screen in the display state 2 shown in FIG. 19B, instead of the display state 2 as shown in FIG. The content (moving image) corresponding to the card icon 32 of the card group 38a displayed at the center of the display screen 2 at this time is switched to the display state 3 where the entire display screen 2 is displayed.

  Then, in this display state 3, when the touch operation unit 3D on the lower side of the display screen is touched with a fingertip (step S5-1 in FIG. 20), a horizontally long time is displayed on the lower side of the display screen 2 as shown in FIG. A reproduction position selection means 40 comprising a scale 41 and a time slider 42 on the time scale 41 is displayed. The time slider 42 is displayed in a portion close to the touch position of the fingertip on the touch operation unit 3D on the time scale 41 (step S5-2 in FIG. 20), and the touch operation unit 3D is touched, so that the content of the content is displayed. The playback display position is switched to the position when the time on the time scale 41 indicated by the position of the time slider 42 has elapsed since the start of the content. Accordingly, when the fingertip is moved in the left-right direction while touching the touch operation unit 3D from the state shown in FIG. 21B to the state shown in FIG. 21C (step S5-3 in FIG. 20), the fingertip Following this, the time slider 42 moves to the left and right, the content playback position moves at a high speed, and the display content changes rapidly (step S5-4 in FIG. 20).

  If an operation that takes a certain time is not performed (step S5-8 in FIG. 20), the display of the time scale 41 and the time slider 42 is automatically ended (step S5-9 in FIG. 20).

  In FIG. 22A in the display state similar to FIG. 21A, when the touch operation unit 3R on the right side of the display screen 2 is touched with a fingertip, the right side of the display screen 2 is displayed as shown in FIG. A plurality of (in this case, five) selection buttons 43a to 43e are displayed along the touch operation unit 3R. Here, the selection button 43a is a selection button for selecting the display state 1, the selection button 43b is a button for displaying the reproduction position selection means 40, and the selection button 43c is a button for selecting multiple information display. . The other selection buttons are buttons for selecting other appropriate functions. These selection buttons 43a to 43e are also displayed by being focused by the cursor as shown by a thick frame, as shown by a thick button, as in the selection button 43b, when the vicinity thereof is the touch position of the fingertip on the touch operation unit 3R.

  Accordingly, in the state shown in FIG. 22B, the fingertip is slid while touching the touch operation unit 3R, and the touch position on the touch operation unit 3R is moved to the vicinity of the selection button 3c as shown in FIG. 22C. When the selection button 43c is focused and selected, and when a determination operation such as pressing strongly with a fingertip or double tapping is performed in such a state, an instruction from the input unit 16 (FIG. 4) by the operation is performed. When the information processing apparatus 18 (FIG. 4) determines this by inputting (Step S5-5 in FIG. 20), the card ID of the content related to the content displayed on the display screen 2 and its reproduction time Is obtained from the related card ID 26i (FIG. 5) in the card information table 26 (step S5-6 in FIG. 20), and as shown in FIG. Card ID icon 44a indicating these card ID with the acquired reproduction position selection means 40 to the second lower portion, and 44b, as multiple information displays. These card IDs 44a and 44b are displayed at positions corresponding to the acquired time on the time scale 41 of the reproduction position selection means 40 (step S5-7 in FIG. 20).

  Thereafter, even if there is no operation, such multiplexed information continues to be displayed, but when a state where it has not been operated for a certain period of time has elapsed (S5-8 in step FIG. 20), as shown in FIG. The display of the multiple information 40 and the card ID icons 44a and 44b ends (step S5-9 in FIG. 20).

  However, even if the multiplex information is not displayed in this way, the display state 3 for displaying the multiplex information is not canceled, and the display state shown in FIG. 22 (e) is shown in FIG. 23 (a). As described above, when the touch operation unit 3D on the lower side of the display screen 2 is touched with the fingertip, the reproduction position selection means 40 and the card ID icons 44a and 44b are displayed again, and the display state returns to that shown in FIG. .

  Then, as shown in FIG. 23B, when the touch position of the fingertip on the touch operation unit 3D is matched with one of the display positions of the card ID icon, for example, the display position of the card ID icon 44a, the instruction information by this Is input from the input unit 16 (FIG. 4), the information processing device 18 (FIG. 4) recognizes this (step S5-10 in FIG. 20), and determines the card ID of the card ID icon 44a at this playback position. A target position obtained from the related card ID 26i (FIG. 5) in the card information table 26 (step S5-11 in FIG. 20) and displaying the card icon 32 of this card ID at the target location on the display screen 2. And a posture value are set (step S5-12). As a result, the processing in step S1-11 in FIG. 9 is performed by the information processing apparatus 18, and as a result, the card icon 32 is displayed at the target location on the display screen 2 as shown in FIG. (Step S1-6 in FIG. 9). In the image display area 32 of the card icon 32, the moving image file 28 of the corresponding content is displayed as a moving image, or the display image file 27 is displayed as a still image such as a thumbnail.

  The same applies when the touch position of the fingertip is near the card ID icon 44b. In FIG. 23B, the card icon 32 is displayed in the upper right corner of the display screen 2, but the present invention is not limited to this.

  In the display state shown in FIG. 23B, when the touch position of the fingertip is moved toward the card ID icon 44b, the display of the card icon 32 on the card ID icon 44 is terminated. When the touch position is near the card ID icon 44b, the card icon 32 for the card ID icon 44b is displayed at the same target position.

  When the fingertip is moved away from the touch operation unit 3D in the display state shown in FIG. 23B, as shown in FIG. 23C, the multiple information display of the reproduction position selection means 40 and the card ID icons 44a and 44b is displayed. The card icon 32 continues to be displayed as it is, and when no touch operation has passed for a certain period of time, the card icon 32 is also displayed as shown in FIG. Also in this case, the display state 3 of the multiplexed information is not released, and the operation in the display state shown in FIG.

  For other contents, when setting the display state 3 of the same multiplexed information, the display state 1 or 2 is displayed by performing the touch operation of FIGS. 22B and 22C. The card icon 32 may be appropriately selected and the same operation may be performed.

  FIG. 24 is a flowchart showing a specific example of step S2-10 in FIG. This will be described with reference to the display of the content search screen in the display state 4 shown in FIGS. 25 and 26 on the display screen 2 of the screen display device 1 shown in FIG. 1, but the screen display device 1 shown in FIGS. Even so, it is the same.

  FIGS. 25 and 26 are diagrams showing specific examples of the search operation in the display state 4, respectively. 3D is a touch operation unit, 40 is a reproduction position selection means, 41 is a time scale, 42 is a time slider, Reference numerals 43a to 43e denote selection buttons, and 44a and 44b denote card ID icons. Parts corresponding to those in the previous drawings are given the same reference numerals, and redundant description is omitted.

  In the state where the content search screen of the display state 1 or 2 shown in FIG. 14 (a) or FIG. 18 (a) is displayed, the screen display device 1 that has been held so that the display screen 2 is horizontally long so far, When the display screen 2 is changed to be vertically long, an instruction for this is input from the input unit 16 (FIG. 4), and the information processing unit 18 (FIG. 4) recognizes this (step S2- in FIG. 11). 1) Processing for displaying in display state 4 is performed (step S2-2 in FIG. 11).

This process, as shown in FIG. 25, FIG. 10 (a), the time display state 1 or 2 (b), the selected card icon 32 ₁ which has been displayed in the center of the display screen 2 card icon 32 _X And the selected card icon 32 _X and the card icons (hereinafter referred to as related card icons) 32 _{X 1} , 32 _{X 2} , 32 _{X 3} , 32 _{X 4} , 32 _{X 5,.} As an example, when one display state is shown, at least one of the selected card icon 32 _X and the related card icon (here, the card icon 32 _X1 ) is arranged in the vertical direction so as not to overlap and hide each other. Although displayed, at least one other than these (here, the related card icons 32 _{X2 to} 32 _X5 ) are displayed so as to overlap each other. Here, the related card icon 32 that is not hidden by overlapping is referred to as a related card icon 32 _X1, and other related icons that overlap each other are related card icons 32 _{X2 to} 32 _X5 . That is, in the display state 4, there are three sets of a set of the selected card icon 32 _X, a set of at least one related card icon 32 _X1, and a set of other related card icons 32 _{X2 to} 32 _X5 . The images are arranged in the vertical direction so that they do not overlap each other.

  The related card icon is acquired based on the related card ID 26i in the card information table 26 (FIG. 5). The order of the related card icons may be, for example, the order of the card IDs 26a registered in the card information table 26, the order of the reproduction times registered in the related card ID 26i, or any other order. It is good.

Steps in FIG. 11 S2-2, as a card selected icon 32 _X and related card icon 32 _X1 to 32 _X5 is such sequences, those that determine the value of the position and attitude of each of the card icon 32 is there. The card icon 32 is set in such a position and orientation by the processing in step S1-11 in FIG.

Note that the content corresponding to the image display area 34 (FIG. 6) is displayed as a moving image on the uppermost non-hidden related card icon (here, card icon _X1 ) in one set (card group).

In addition, as in the case of the display state 2, the related card icons 32 that overlap each other (the set on the card icon 32 _{X2 to} 32 _X5 side in FIG. 25) are shifted one by one and the other set of card icons is set. By moving to (a set on the card icon 32 _X1 side in FIG. 25), the whole can be displayed. In the related card icon displayed as a whole as described above, the content corresponding to the image display area is displayed as a moving image.

  Hereinafter, the display state 4 will be described by taking the first and second embodiments shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 as an example, but the same applies to the third embodiment shown in FIG. In this case, the three sets of the card icons are displayed in the vertical direction on the display screen 14 (FIG. 3) of the television receiver 13.

  FIG. 26 is a diagram showing an operation procedure in the display state 4, that is, an operation procedure for moving the related card icons so as to be seen one by one in order.

In the display state shown in FIG. 26 (a), along with selected card icon 32 _X, related card icon 32 _X1, 32 _X2, 32 _X2 stacking mass (card group) 45a is formed, further, the card group It is assumed that a card group 45b in which related card icons 32 _X4 and 32 _X5 are stacked is formed side by side with 45a. In this display state, the content corresponding to the image display area 34 of the related card icon 32 _{X1 in} the front row in the card group 45a adjacent to the selected card icon 32 _X is displayed as a moving image. In these card groups 45a and 45b, the card icons 32 are all shifted and loaded so that at least their edges can be seen. The amount of card icons 32 and the search amount in the card groups 45a and 45b are at a glance. As you can see.

In this display state, as shown in FIG. 26 (b), the touch operation unit 3U on the upper side of the display area 2 is touched with a fingertip, and as shown in FIG. 26 (c), the direction in which the fingertip is touched in the touched state. When the user slides along the touch operation unit 3U, an instruction corresponding thereto is input from the input unit 16 (FIG. 4), and the information processing unit 18 recognizes this and determines that the card icon 32 is switched (FIG. 4). 24, step S6-3), the card icon 32 _X1 to be moved so as to be shifted in the card group 45a enters and hides under the card group 45b, and at the same time, the next card icon 32 _X2 in the card group 45a is displayed. As shown, the target position and orientation values of each card icon are set (step S6-4 in FIG. 24). Also, for the card icon 32 _X2 that appears next, the moving image file 28 (FIG. 4) of the corresponding content is read, as in the other display states. As a result, the information processing apparatus 18 performs the process of step S1-11 in FIG. 9 so that the card icon 32 _X1 is dived under the card group 45b (in the last row) as shown in FIG. At the same time, in the card group 45a, the next card icon 32 _X2 appears on the surface. At this time, no moving image is displayed in the image display area 34 of the moving card icon 32 _X1 .

Then, when the card icon 32 _X1 finishes sinking into the last row of the card group 45b, the card icon 32 _{X2 which} is the front row in the card group 45a is in a state where the image display area 34 appears completely on the surface, as shown in FIG. As shown in (d), when the fingertip is released from the touch operation unit 3U, the instruction is input from the input device 16, and the corresponding content previously read into the image display area 34 by the processing operation of the information processing device 18 is performed. Is displayed as a video. In this case, the card icon 32 _X1 inserted in the last row of the card group 45b is inserted with a slight shift from the card icon 32 stacked thereon so that at least the edges thereof can be seen. Thus, the amount of the card icon 32 and the search amount in the card group 45a can be understood at a glance.

Thus, by repeating the operation of FIG. 26 (b) ~ (d) , so that the content in the selected card icon 32 _X next to a new card icons 32 one after another in the card group 45a is displayed as a moving picture . Further, when the sliding direction of the fingertip on the touch operation unit 3U is opposite to that in the case of FIG. 26C, the card icon 32 moves from below the card group 45b onto the card group 45a. Becomes the card icon 32 in the front row of the card group 45a, a moving image is displayed in the image display area 34. In this case, when the next card icon 32 comes on the card icon 32 in the front row of the card group 45a, the display of the moving image in the image display area is finished, and the newly placed card icon 32 is displayed. Content corresponding to the image display area is displayed as a moving image.

  When the content is reproduced and displayed as a moving image, when the reproduction of the content ends (step S6-1 in FIG. 24), reproduction is instructed by the moving image processing process as in the previous display states (FIG. 24). In step S6-2), the display of the moving image continues.

In this manner, in the display state 4, since those only two card group 45a of the associated card icon 32 and select the card icon 32 _X, and the 45b is displayed on the display screen, increasing the card icon 32 each It is possible to display the content of the card icon 32 displayed in the front row of the card group 45a so that the content can be easily viewed and confirmed, and the content can be confirmed instantaneously. become. In particular, as shown in FIG. 26, by displaying a card group 45b in which the content is not displayed with the card icon 32 in the front row partially protruding from the display screen 2, the card icon 32 can be displayed in a large amount. Content is easier to see.

  In addition, it is possible to search for contents with a card icon related to one selected card icon by a simple operation. Moreover, the display state 4 can be easily and reliably realized by a simple operation of changing the orientation of the screen display device 1 in the display states 1 and 2.

  Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 26 (c), when an operation method of sliding the touch operation unit 3U is adopted, the card icon can be operated to handle a playing card in a pseudo manner. It becomes easy to do. This is because the slide operation is an operation in a plane parallel to the display screen, and the moving direction of the card icon is also a movement in a plane parallel to the display screen.

  As described above, it is possible to search for contents in the form of operating a card, and the search method can be selected by appropriately selecting one of different methods such as display states 1, 2, 3, and 4. Therefore, it is possible to search for contents in a display state according to the user's preference. Moreover, since the content is displayed only on one of the card icons displayed at the same time, the content can be grasped without being confused by other information. Thus, the desired content can be searched quickly and reliably.
