(Functional configuration of display device)
Next, a functional configuration of the display device 100 will be described. FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing an example of a functional configuration of the display device according to the embodiment of the present invention. 3, the display device 100 according to the present embodiment includes a display screen 300, a storage unit 301, a speed information input unit 302, a display content / switching time determination unit 303, and a display control unit 304. It has a configuration.

  Here, the display screen 300 sequentially switches and displays contents over a plurality of pages including at least one of characters and images for each page. In addition, the display screen 300 scrolls the content over a plurality of pages including at least one of characters and images (that is, a part of the displayed content on the upstream side is erased, and the display content is increased to the upstream side accordingly. It may be displayed continuously by moving and displaying subsequent content downstream). Scrolling is preferably performed from the lower side to the upper side when the text content is written horizontally, and from the left side to the right side when the document content is written vertically. Specifically, the display screen 300 realizes its function by the display 101 shown in FIG.

  The storage unit 301 stores various types of information such as contents and related tables (described later). Further, content list information or the like may be stored in the storage unit 301. Specifically, the storage unit 301 realizes its function by the ROM 202, the RAM 203, the HD 204, and the memory card 205 shown in FIG.

  The speed information input unit 302 receives input of information related to the page turning speed. Specifically, the function of the speed information input unit 302 is realized by the operation button 104 or the sensor 209 shown in FIG. The speed information input unit 302 may include at least one of the contact detection unit 311, the pressure detection unit 312, and the deflection detection unit 313. Details of the speed information input unit 302 will be described later.

  The display content / switching time determination unit 303 extracts the content stored by the storage unit 301 based on the information about the page turning speed input by the speed information input unit 302, and displays the content of the content to be displayed for each page. It is determined using a predetermined table stored in the storage unit 301 (for example, a related table in FIG. 5 or FIG. 7 described later). The content to be displayed may be determined not as each page but as a scrollable continuous content.

  Further, the display content / switching time determination unit 303 may determine the switching time or scrolling speed of each page based on the information about the page turning speed input by the speed information input unit 302. Therefore, based on the information about the page turning speed, the content to be displayed for each page may be determined and the switching time for each page may be determined. Or based on the information regarding page turning speed, while determining the content of the content displayed for every page, you may make it determine scroll speed. Details of determining the contents and the switching time of each page will be described later.

  Specifically, the display content / switching time determination unit 303 realizes its function by the CPU 201 shown in FIG. 2 executing a program stored in the ROM 202, RAM 203, HD 204 or memory card 205.

  The content displayed for each page may have a hierarchical structure. By doing so, the display content / switching time determination unit 303 determines the content of the content to be displayed based on the information about the page turning speed input by the speed information input unit 302 so that only the predetermined level of the content is displayed. Can be determined.

  Further, when the content content to be displayed for each page has a hierarchical structure, each level of the content may be composed of a title and content. By doing so, the display content / switching time determination unit 303 displays all or part of the title and content for each layer based on the information about the page turning speed input by the speed information input unit 302. Or, it is possible to decide whether to display only the title.

  The display control unit 304 controls the display screen 300 to switch and display the content determined by the display content / switching time determination unit 303.

(Contents of speed information input unit 302)
The speed information input unit 302 receives an input of speed information when the operator performs a predetermined operation on the grip units 102 and 103 or the operation button 104. The method for inputting speed information is not particularly limited. The speed information may be input by pressing a predetermined operation button 104, or the display device may include a voice recognition device (not shown) and accept the input of the speed information by the voice uttered by the operator. Good.

  Further, the speed information input unit 302 may include a plurality of contact detection units 311. Then, the speed information input unit 302 can be configured such that when the operator touches a predetermined position of the display device 100, the page turning speed varies depending on the contact position. FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of a detailed external appearance of the grip portions 102 and 103.

  In FIG. 4, on the surfaces of the grips 102 and 103, letters “fast” above and “slow” below are displayed (or printed) together with up and down arrows. A plurality of contact detection units 311 (sensors 209) are embedded in the grip unit 102. Then, when the operator touches a predetermined position on the upper side of the grip portions 102 and 103 as much as possible, the operator detects the position by the contact detection unit 311 embedded on the upper side. Since it is on the upper side, it can be determined that the page turning speed desired by the operator is high. Alternatively, the speed may be set to be faster when the right grip 102 is gripped, and conversely, the speed may be decreased when the left grip 103 is gripped. The information is output to display content / switching time determination unit 303.

  Further, it is also possible to detect the direction in which the finger is moved (slid), not the position where the operator's finger touches, in the grip portion 102, and use it as speed input information. For example, in the gripping units 102 and 103 in FIG. 4, if the operator moves the finger so as to slide from the bottom to the top, the operator recognizes that the speed is increased, and conversely moves the finger so as to slide from the top to the bottom. It may be recognized that the speed is reduced. Furthermore, instead of the direction of movement, the speed of movement (sliding speed) may be detected, and the page turning speed may be different depending on the speed of movement (sliding speed). For example, it may be recognized that the speed is increased when sliding fast, the speed is decreased when sliding slowly, and the switching (or scrolling) is stopped when the sliding is stopped.

  Further, the speed information input unit 302 may include a pressure detection unit 312. The pressure detector 312 is provided at a predetermined position of the grips 102 and 103, for example, and detects the pressure when the operator grips the grips 102 and 103. The detected pressure amount or pressure change amount is output to the display content / switching time determination unit 303 as speed information. That is, it is possible to accept an input of speed information that is slow when the operator gently grasps the grip portions 102 and 103 and fast when the operator grasps the grip portions 102 and 103 strongly. Further, when the grip is stopped, it may be determined that the input is turned off.

  Further, the speed information input unit 302 may include a deflection detection unit 313. The pressure detection 312 detects, for example, a deflection when the operator grips the grips 102 and 103 and deflects the display device 100 itself. Then, the detected deflection amount or deflection change amount is output to the display content / switching time determination unit 303 as speed information. That is, it is possible to accept an input of speed information that is slow when the operator lightly deflects the display device 100 and fast when the operator grasps it strongly. Further, when the bending is stopped, it may be determined that the input is turned off.

(Relationship between turning speed and switching (scrolling) speed)
Next, the relationship between the turning speed and the content display / switching speed or scroll speed will be described. 5 and 7 are explanatory diagrams illustrating an example of a relationship table stored in the storage unit 301 between the turning speed and the content display and switching or scrolling speed. FIGS. 6A to 6C are explanatory diagrams illustrating examples of display contents displayed on the display screen 300.

  5 and FIG. 7 will be described on the assumption that the turning speed can be input in six stages from “1 (slow)” to “6 (fast)”. The turning speed is not limited to six stages, and more stages may be input, and fewer stages may be input.

  In addition, here, description will be made on the assumption that the content is composed of three layers (the highest “tier 1”, the next “tier 2”, and the lowest “tier 3”). The hierarchies are not limited to three hierarchies, but may be higher or lower. In addition, characters and images may be set as different hierarchies.

  Furthermore, here, the switching speed or the scrolling speed will be described as having two stages of “fast” and “slow”. The speed is not limited to two stages, and may be switched to more stages. Further, the speed is not switched and may be one step.

  In the relation table of FIG. 5, when the turning speed is “1”, the displayed content is the hierarchy 1 + 2 + 3, that is, all the contents as shown in FIG. The switching speed or scrolling speed is a “slow” stage. When the turning speed is “2”, which is the next level after “1”, the displayed content is the same as that of “1” (hierarchy 1 + 2 + 3), and only the speed is different (“fast”). Become. Thus, the difference between the speed “1” and the speed “2” is expressed.

  When the turning speed is “3” or “4”, the displayed content is only the hierarchy 1 + 2 as shown in FIG. That is, the level 3 is not displayed, and the levels 1 and 2 are displayed correspondingly. As for the switching speed or the scrolling speed, the turning speed “3” is “slow” and the turning speed “4” is “fast”.

  When the turning speed is “5” or “6”, the displayed content is only level 1, as shown in FIG. 6-3. That is, the hierarchy 2 and the hierarchy 3 are not displayed, and the hierarchy 1 is displayed correspondingly. As for the switching speed or the scroll speed, the turning speed “5” is “slow” and the turning speed “6” is “fast”.

  In this way, the content display can be changed each time the turning speed changes in two stages, and the difference in appearance can be expressed by switching the switching speed or the scroll speed in the same content display.

  On the other hand, in the relation table of FIG. 7, the content display is changed without changing the switching speed or the scroll speed every time the turning speed changes by one step. That is, when the turning speed is “1” to “3”, the content display is changed to “hierarchy 1 + 2 + 3”, “hierarchy 1 + 2”, and “hierarchy 1”, respectively. The switching speed or scrolling speed at that time remains “slow” and is not changed. When the turning speed is “4”, the content display is returned to “hierarchy 1 + 2 + 3” again, and the switching speed or scroll speed is changed from “slow” to “fast”. Similarly, when the turning speed is “5”, “hierarchy 1 + 2” is changed, and when the turning speed is “6”, “hierarchy 1” is changed.

  In either of the relationship table in FIG. 5 or the relationship table in FIG. 7, when the turning speed is increased by setting the time until the content is displayed to the end as the turning speed increases, The content can be configured to turn quickly or scroll.

(Processing procedure)
Next, a predetermined procedure of the display content / switching time determination unit 303 will be described. FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure of the display content / switching time determination unit 303. In the flowchart of FIG. 8, first, it is determined whether or not there is an instruction to display content from the operator (step S801). The content display instruction can be performed by, for example, displaying a list of contents stored in the storage unit 301 on the display screen 300 and allowing the operator to select a desired content from the list.

  In step S801, after waiting for a display instruction, if there is a display instruction (step S801: Yes), the corresponding content is extracted from the storage unit 301 (step S802). Then, the first page of the extracted content is displayed on the display screen 300 (step S803). In this state, page switching and scrolling are not performed while the first page is displayed. The first page displayed on the display screen 300 is not limited to the first page, and the last page displayed last time or a previously registered page may be displayed.

  Next, it is determined whether or not the input of the page turning speed is turned on (step S804). Here, the state in which the first page is displayed is maintained until it is turned on, and when it is turned on (step S804: Yes), the input page turning speed is confirmed (step S805). Then, based on the confirmed page turning speed, the content display content is determined using the relationship table of FIG. 5 or FIG. 7 (step S806). Here, the switching speed or scrolling speed is also determined. Based on this determination, a page turning process (scroll process) is executed (step S807).

  It is determined whether or not the page turning speed has been changed during the page turning process (scroll process) (step S808). Here, when the page turning speed is changed (step S808: Yes), the process returns to step S805, the changed page turning speed is recognized (step S805), and the processes after step S805 are repeated. If the page turning speed has not been changed in step S808 (step S808: No), it is next determined whether or not the input of the page turning speed has been turned off (step S809).

  In step S809, when the input of the page turning speed is OFF (step S809: Yes), the page turning process is interrupted (step S810). Therefore, the display on the display screen 300 is stopped in a state where the contents displayed at the time of the interruption are displayed. Then, the process returns to step S804 and waits for the input of the page turning speed to be turned ON again.

  If the input of the page turning speed is not OFF in step S809 (step S809: No), it is next determined whether or not the last page of the content has been displayed (step S811). If the last page has not been reached (step S811: No), the process proceeds to step S807 to continue the page turning process. On the other hand, when the last page is reached and the last page is displayed (step S811: Yes), the series of processing ends. At this time, the process may return to step S803 to display the first page, display a predetermined menu screen, and wait for input of another content display instruction.

(Example)
Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described. As contents displayed on the display screen 300, a manual having the following specifications is used. The total number of pages for one manual is about 1130 pages. FIG. 9 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of information related to display control according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIGS. 10-1 to 10-6 are descriptions showing contents of content according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 11 and FIG. 12 are explanatory views showing the display contents of the content at a predetermined turning speed according to one embodiment of the present invention.

  Also, the standard time of page turning (scrolling) is 5 seconds to 10 seconds. The assumed amount of screen feed is 20 to 10 screens per second, and the screen at the current display position is calculated from the assumed amount of screen feed. The screen to be actually transferred is changed to a scroll format.

  When the page speed changes during display, the level of information of each chapter and section is changed, so that the amount of description changes because the interval between chapter numbers and section numbers increases or decreases. This is very difficult to see because the screen changes rapidly when the frames are simply switched. Therefore, importance is placed not only on the frames to be displayed but also on the continuity with the preceding and following frames.

  As for the display of the figure, the figure of the neighborhood in the display position is displayed at random, but if there is a page that is frequently accessed, the figure of the neighborhood (the figure that is frequently accessed or the figure that is highly likely) is displayed. You may make it display preferentially. Also, frequently used terms may be displayed. Further, for example, a slider bar indicating the current display position in the entire manual may be displayed.

  Here, assuming that a manual of about 1130 pages is turned in 5 seconds, there are 10 screens per second, 50 screens in total (50 screens may be generated individually, and the display contents are not generated but 50 screens are generated. If the screen is scrolled and the screen is viewed every 0.1 seconds, it may be 50 screens), which corresponds to about 20 manual pages per screen. Then, the contents of the previous and subsequent screens are relatively compared. In this way, recognition assistance using an afterimage is performed by displaying a part of the front and back together.

  In FIG. 1-P. Since it is in charge of 20 pages of 20, the scope of responsibility is Chapter 1 and 2.1 of Chapter 2. In Display 1 (Level 1), the title of Chapter 1 and the title of Chapter 2 are displayed. To do. Further, although not in the scope of the first frame, the title of Chapter 3 following Chapter 2 is also displayed in order to assist authentication using afterimages. In the display 2 (hierarchy 2), the contents of 1.1 to 1.2 of the first chapter and the contents of 2.1 to 2.2 of the second chapter are displayed. FIG. 11 is the first screen when the total page manipulation time is 5 seconds, and shows the display content of the first frame.

  The second frame is P.I. 21-P. Because it is in charge of 20 pages of 40, the scope of responsibility is 2.1 to 2.6 in Chapter 2 and 3.1 to 3.2 in Chapter 3, and in display 1 (hierarchy 1) Display the title of Chapter 2 and the title of Chapter 3. Further, although not in the area in charge of the second frame, the title of the first chapter is also displayed in order to assist authentication using an afterimage. In the display 2 (hierarchy 2), the contents of 2.1 to 2.6 of Chapter 2 and the contents of 3.1 to 3.2 of Chapter 3 are displayed. Furthermore, although not in the area in charge of the second frame, 3.2 to 3.3 in Chapter 3 is also displayed in order to assist authentication using an afterimage.

  The third and subsequent frames are the same as the first frame and the second frame. In this way, display contents up to the 50th frame are determined.
