Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To eliminate an individual difference in vertical and horizontal scrolling, and accept flexible input as intended by an operator. <P>SOLUTION: The position touched by a finger on a display 3 displaying an image is detected by a finger touch detection part 91. The position where the finger touch is removed from the display 3 is detected by a finger touch removal detection part 92. It is determined whether movement of the finger from the touch position detected by the finger touch detection part 91 to the touch removal position detected by the finger touch removal detection part 92 is horizontal movement or vertical movement, by comparison between a horizontal movement distance (x<SB>2</SB>-x<SB>1</SB>) and a vertical movement distance (y<SB>2</SB>-y<SB>1</SB>). For the horizontal movement distance or the vertical movement distance determined longer, the vertical movement distance or the horizontal movement distance determined shorter is stored as a shift correction value δy or δx in a correction value storage part 95. When a movement determination part 94 determines the vertical movement or the horizontal movement, vector synthesis of the shift correction value is carried out in the orthogonal direction, on the basis of the horizontal or vertical movement distance, and used as an output of scrolling. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT

It is also possible to detect the moving speed of the finger and specify the moving position B (x ₂ , y ₂ ) at the position where the moving speed of the finger becomes zero. That is, the finger contact release detecting unit 92 that detects how much the finger has moved from the position A (x ₁ , y ₁ ) recorded by the finger contact detecting unit 91 moves at the position where the finger moving speed becomes zero. It can be specified as a position B (x ₂ , y ₂ ).
Then, the finger contact detecting unit 91 and the finger moving speed detecting unit 93 detect the moving speed of the moving position B (x ₂ , y ₂ ), and the moving speed is detected as zero. It can be set as the movement detection part 90B which detects that it moved to the predetermined position by making a finger | toe contact the display 3 which displayed the image.

Here, the above-described finger contact detection unit 91 and finger contact release detection unit 92 detect that the finger is brought into contact with the display 3 displaying the image in the flick operation according to the embodiment of the present invention and moved to a predetermined position. The movement detection unit 90A is configured. Further, the above-described finger contact detection unit 91 and finger movement speed detection unit 93 detect that the finger has been moved to a predetermined position while bringing the finger into contact with the display 3 displaying the image in the tracing operation according to the embodiment of the present invention. The movement detection unit 90B is configured. The configurations of the movement detection unit 90A and the movement detection unit 90B can be implemented by providing either one when the present invention is implemented, but both can be installed and the user can select the function.
That is, the finger operation in the flick operation can detect the state in which the finger is released by the finger contact release detection unit 92, but in the tracing operation, the state in which the finger is released may not occur, and the movement position B (x ₂ , It is possible to detect when the moving speed of the finger is lost in y ₂ ).

The movement determination unit 94 extends from a position A (x ₁ , y ₁ ) where contact is detected by the finger contact detection unit 91 to a position B (x ₂ , y ₂ ) where contact release is detected by the finger contact release detection unit 92. The horizontal movement distance (x ₂ −x ₁ ) and the vertical movement distance (y) are determined based on whether the finger movement of the horizontal movement distance (x ₂ −x ₁ ) is long or the vertical movement distance (y ₂ −y ₁ ) is long. Judgment is made by comparing the magnitudes of ₂ −y ₁ ).
Alternatively, the movement determination unit 94 detects a contact release from the position A (x ₁ , y ₁ ) detected by the finger contact detection unit 91 using the finger contact release detection unit 92 (x ₂ , y ₂ ). It may be determined by comparing the speed of the horizontal movement speed and the vertical movement speed whether the movement of the finger up to is fast in the horizontal movement direction or in the vertical movement direction. In other words, the movement determination unit 94 may make a determination based on a finger moving distance or a finger moving speed.

That is, the movement determination unit 94 according to the first embodiment detects that the finger position detected by the finger contact detection unit 91 and the finger contact release detection unit 92 has moved, and is recorded by the finger contact detection unit 91. The amount of movement of the finger from the contact position A (x ₁ , y ₁ ) is detected as the contact release position B (x ₂ , y ₂ ) after the movement is detected with the elapse of time. That is, the movement determination unit 94 compares the horizontal movement distance and the vertical movement distance with respect to the side of the display 3 with respect to the finger movement detected by the movement detection unit 91, and the horizontal movement distance. Is large, the horizontal movement is determined, and when the vertical movement distance is large, it is determined that the vertical movement is performed. The movement of the finger is determined based on whether or not the contact state is continuously maintained. The comparison of the movement determination unit 94 according to the first embodiment is to compare which is larger in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction. When the distance between the moving distance and the vertical moving distance is large, the horizontal moving speed and the vertical moving speed are fast and slow, the deviation can be corrected when there is an opening of several times or more, other than horizontal and vertical movement. Can be efficiently detected. In the first embodiment, the fast and slow horizontal moving speed and the vertical moving speed are substantially the same as the horizontal moving distance and the vertical moving distance. Therefore, here, for ease of explanation, the moving distance is the same. I will explain it.

The correction value storage unit 95 has a vertical movement distance determined to be smaller than a horizontal movement distance (x ₂ −x ₁ ) or a vertical movement distance (y ₂ −y ₁ ) determined to be large by the movement determination unit 94. The deviation of (y ₂ −y ₁ ) or horizontal movement distance (x ₂ −x ₁ ) from the horizontal movement distance (x ₂ −x ₁ ) or vertical movement distance (y ₂ −y ₁ ) determined to be large. It is stored as a correction value δx or a deviation correction value δy. For example, in the example of FIG. 6, the contact release position B (x ₂ , y ₂ ) after the movement is detected from the contact position A (x ₁ , y ₁ ), and the horizontal movement distance (x ₂ −x ₁ ) and the vertical movement are detected. calculating the distance _{(y 2 -y 1), (} x 2 -x 1)> (y 2 -y 1) a horizontal movement distance since (x ₂ -x ₁₎ correction values of the deviation with respect to .delta.y = ( stored as y ₂ −y ₁ ). That is, the correction value storage unit 95 stores a movement distance in a direction perpendicular to the determined moving direction as a correction value for a deviation with respect to the determined moving direction.
The deviation correction value δy and the deviation correction value δx for the horizontal movement distance and the vertical movement distance are learned so that the horizontal movement distance and the vertical movement distance are divided into 2 to 20 and an appropriate value is selected within the range. It is desirable to let them.

Further, the finger from the position A (x ₁ , y ₁ ) where contact is detected by the finger contact detection unit 91 to the position B (x ₂ , y ₂ ) where contact release is detected by the finger contact release detection unit 92. For example, when the movement is expressed by the initial movement, whether the horizontal movement speed dx ₁ / dt is fast or the vertical movement speed dy ₁ / dt is fast is expressed as the horizontal movement speed dx ₁ / dt and the vertical movement speed dy ₁ / dt. When it is determined by comparing the speeds, it can also be stored by storing a speed deviation correction value Δx or a deviation correction value Δy with respect to the determined horizontal movement speed dx ₁ / dt or vertical movement speed dy ₁ / dt.

When the movement determination unit 94 determines vertical movement or horizontal movement, the scroll determination unit 96 is perpendicular to the horizontal movement distance (x ₂ −x ₁ ) or vertical movement distance (y ₂ −y ₁ ). The shift correction value δx or the shift correction value δy is vector-combined to specify the scroll distance on the display 3. In the first embodiment, when the movement determining unit 94 determines that the vertical movement speed dy ₁ / dt or the horizontal movement speed dx ₁ / dt is fast, the horizontal movement speed dx ₁ / dt or the vertical movement speed dy ₁ / The scroll speed is determined by vector synthesis of the speed deviation correction value Δx or the deviation correction value Δy with respect to the direction dt. Then, both are replaced with the scroll distance of the image, and the one with the larger distance is selected. In this selection, since the horizontal movement speed dx ₁ / dt or the vertical movement speed dy ₁ / dt is intended to increase the scroll distance, the larger value of both is selected. It may be an intermediate value or a minimum value. Of course, only the moving distance may be taken up.

When the movement determination unit 94 determines vertical movement or horizontal movement, the scroll output unit 97 has a horizontal movement speed dx ₁ / dt, a vertical movement speed dy ₁ / dt, or a distance C (vertical movement or horizontal movement). The scroll distance of the image displayed on the display 3 is specified from one or more of x ₂ -y ₁ ), and scrolling is performed. In the present embodiment, the scroll position of the image displayed on the display 3 is specified from the positions A, B, and C of the display 3. The scroll position may be calculated.

Next, the control of the navigation device as the input / output display device according to the first embodiment configured as described above will be described with reference to FIGS.
In FIG. 2, the main menu screen is displayed on the display 3 by executing the main program of the vehicle. By selecting the destination setting 30 menu from the main menu screen, the destination setting screen shown in FIG. 3 is displayed. When the menu of the map search 31 is selected here, the “map search” program is executed.

4 and 5 are flowcharts of the “map search routine” of the navigation device as the input / output display device of the first embodiment. When the vehicle is stopped during execution of the main program of the vehicle, the map is displayed. Called when the search 31 menu is selected.
First, when the map search 31 is selected during execution of the main program of the vehicle, it is subsequently determined in step S1 whether or not the touch switch of the map search 31 of FIG. 3 is turned on, and processing of this routine is entered. At the same time, as shown in FIG. 6, the screen shows that the display 3 is in the map search mode of “location registration” on the map 32 at the current position 33 on the display 3.
6 to 9, the detail key 51 is a key that further enlarges the map, and conversely, the wide area key 55 is a key that indicates a wider area of the map, and the off key 52 is this display. This key is used to end the routine and restore it. The display change key 53 is a key for selecting 2D display and 3D display. The point registration key 54 is a key for registering the selected place.

If it is determined in step S2 that the finger touches the touch switch and touch is detected, the position A (x ₁ , y ₁ ) on the touch switch is read in step S3, and the finger touch switch is detected in step S4. Position A (x ₁ , y ₁ ) is stored in the RAM 12. Position A (x _1, y ₁₎ of the finger in step S5 movement is determined whether or not made, the process proceeds to step S6 to wait for the movement of the finger position A (x _1, y ₁₎ is made. While the finger position A (x ₁ , y ₁ ) is moved, the routines of steps S2 to S5 are performed.

If it is determined in step S5 that the finger position A (x ₁ , y ₁ ) has been moved, the position B (x ₂ , y ₂ ) on the touch switch is read in step S6, and the finger touch switch on the touch switch in step S7. The position B (x ₂ , y ₂ ) is stored in the RAM 12. In step S8 to calculate the movement velocity of the finger moving from the position of the finger _{A (x 1, y 1)} . In addition, although the differential value is employ | adopted in this Embodiment 1, speed can be represented by the time when moving, such as the moving distance per unit time, or predetermined distances 10, 20, and 30 mm.
Step S9 determines that the movement of the finger has stopped at the movement position B (x ₂ , y ₂ ). In particular, in the tracing operation, there is a possibility that the finger will not be released, and the movement position B ( x ₂ , y ₂ ) detects when the finger movement speed is lost. Further, in the flick operation, a method of detecting a state where the finger is released by the finger contact release detection unit 92 in step S9 may be used. Note that step S9 may be performed next to step S5, and the movement position B (x ₂ , y ₂ ) may be determined when the movement speed of the finger is lost.

In step S10, the movement distance (y ₂ -y ₁ ) of the vertical movement distance (Y axis) and the movement distance (x ₂ -x ₁ ) of the horizontal movement distance (X axis) are calculated. In step S11, the movement distance (y ₂ -y ₁ ) of the vertical movement distance (Y-axis) is less than the threshold Ty that is not within the range for performing the shift correction δx, and the movement distance of the vertical movement distance (Y-axis) When it is determined that (x ₂ −x ₁ ) is less than the threshold value Tx that is not within the range in which the shift correction δy is performed, the process enters step S12. If at least one of the Y-axis movement distance (y ₂ -y ₁ ) and the X-axis movement distance (x ₂ -x ₁ ) is larger than the correction range in step S11, whether or not it is an avoidance requirement in step S12 Determine whether.
In step S11, the movement distance (y ₂ -y ₁ ) of the vertical movement distance (Y axis) is less than the threshold value Ty within the range in which the shift correction δx is performed, and the movement distance (x of the vertical movement distance (Y axis) _When it is determined that ₂₋ x ₁ ) is less than the threshold value Tx within the range in which the deviation correction δy is performed, the larger one of the moving distance and the moving speed of the image moving distance is selected in step S13 and output in step S14. To do.

As the avoidance requirement, when the movement of the movement detectors 90A and 90B coincides with any one of the predetermined road, railroad, and river (bridge) shown on the map, the scrolling in a direction other than the predetermined direction is enabled. Enter the process. In addition, this avoidance requirement enables scrolling in a direction other than a predetermined direction when a registered place or a specific icon exists in the vicinity of the position where the finger is brought into contact with the movement detection units 90A and 90B. Note that this avoidance requirement may be arbitrarily selected and is not limited to the above example.
When the avoidance requirement is applied in step S12, the movement distance of the Y-axis movement distance (y ₂ -y ₁ ), the X-axis movement distance (x ₂ -x ₁ ), and the horizontal movement speed (dx ₁ / The larger one of the moving speeds of dt) and the vertical moving speed (dy ₁ / dt) is selected, and it is output in step S14. Of course, the selection in step S12 may be an average of both, or a larger or smaller numerical value may be selected.

When the avoidance requirement is not applied in step S12, the Y-axis movement distance (y ₂ −y ₁ ) and the X-axis movement distance (x ₂ −x ₁ ) are compared in step S15.
In step S15, when the movement distance of the finger is larger on the horizontal movement distance (X-axis) side than on the vertical movement distance (Y-axis) side, in step S16, the X-axis reference map corresponds to the deviation correction value δy. The Y-axis movement distance (y ₂ −y ₁ ) is stored, and the average value of the Y-axis movement distance (y ₂ −y ₁ ) written in the map of the deviation correction value δy in step S17 is calculated. The average value may be an arithmetic average such as an arithmetic average or a geometric average, but when the number of stored data is large, it exhibits a normal distribution, so it is preferable to obtain an average from a probability distribution. is there. Next, in step S18, the average deviation correction value δy is vector-synthesized with respect to the movement distance (x ₂ −x ₁ ) of the X axis, and this is calculated as the scroll distance of the image in step S19. To do.

When the movement distance of the finger is not larger on the horizontal movement distance (X-axis) side than the vertical movement distance (Y-axis) side in step S15, it corresponds to the correction value δx of the deviation on the Y-axis reference map in step S20. Then, the X-axis movement distance (x ₂ −x ₁ ) is stored, and the average value of the X-axis movement distance (x ₂ −x ₁ ) written in the map of the deviation correction value δx in step S21 is calculated. This average value can be obtained as described above. Next, in step S22, the shift correction value δx is vector-combined with the movement distance (y ₂ −y ₁ ) of the vertical movement distance (Y-axis), and this is calculated as the image scroll distance in step S19. ,Output.

The input / output display device according to the first embodiment includes a movement detection unit 90A, 90B including steps S1 to S9 for detecting that the finger is brought into contact with the display 3 displaying an image and moving to a predetermined position. Regarding the movement of the finger detected by either of the detection units 90A and 90B, the horizontal movement distance (x ₂ −x ₁ ) and the vertical movement distance (y ₂ −y ₁₎ ) And the horizontal movement distance (x ₂ −x ₁ ) or the vertical movement distance (y) in which the movement determination unit 94 has determined that the movement of the finger is large. against ₂ -y _1), small and the determined vertical travel distance (y ₂ -y ₁₎ or horizontal movement distance (x ₂ -x _1), as large as the determined horizontal movement distance (x ₂ -x ₁₎ or vertical Moving distance (y ₂ -y ₁₎ of the deviation of the correction value .delta.y, the steps S16 and S17, the correction value storing unit 95 consisting of steps S20 and S21 of storing as .delta.x, vertical movement or horizontal movement by the movement judgment unit 94 When it is determined, the scroll distance is specified by vector-combining the correction values δy and δx for the deviation from the horizontal movement distance (x ₂ -x ₁ ) or vertical movement distance (y ₂ -y ₁ ) in the perpendicular direction. When the scroll determination unit 96 and the movement determination unit 94, which comprise step S18 or step S22, determine that the vertical movement or the horizontal movement, the scroll for specifying the scroll distance from the respective distances of the vertical movement or the horizontal movement. An output unit 97 is provided.

  The movement detection units 90A and 90B are configured to detect that the finger is brought into contact with the display 3 that displays the image, and the finger contact detection unit 91 including steps S2 to S4 is detected. A movement detection unit 90A for detecting that the finger is brought into contact with the display 3 displaying the image formed by the finger contact release detection unit 92 including steps S5 to S7 and detecting that the movement has been made to a predetermined position; A finger contact detecting unit 91 comprising steps S2 to S4 for detecting that the finger is brought into contact with the display 3 displaying the image, and a finger comprising step S9 for detecting that the movement of the finger on the display 3 is stopped. That the finger is brought into contact with the display 3 displaying the image formed by the moving speed detector 93 and moved to a predetermined position. It is a movement detection unit 90B to be out.

In the input / output display device according to the present embodiment, for example, in the case of a flick operation, the finger contact detection unit 91 detects the position where the finger is brought into contact with the display 3 displaying the image, and the finger contact is disconnected from the display 3. Whether the finger movement from the position where the finger contact detection unit 92 detects contact and the position where the finger contact detection unit 91 detects contact to the position where the finger contact cancellation detection unit 92 detects contact release is horizontal movement. , it is determined whether the vertical movement by the size comparison of the horizontal movement distance (x ₂ -x ₁₎ and the vertical movement distance (y ₂ -y _1), as large as the determined horizontal movement distance (x ₂ -x ₁₎ or to the vertical movement distance (y ₂ -y _1), small and the determined vertical travel distance (y ₂ -y ₁₎ or horizontal movement distance (x ₂ -x ₁₎ the deviation of the correction value .delta.y, as δx The data is stored in the correction value storage unit 95, and then the movement determination unit 94 is stored. When the vertical movement or the horizontal movement is determined at, the vector composition of the correction values δy and δx for the deviation in the perpendicular direction from the horizontal movement distance (x ₂ −x ₁ ) or the vertical movement distance (y ₂ −y ₁ ). Thus, the scroll determination unit 96 specifies whether or not the input is scroll.

  Therefore, it is possible to eliminate the wrinkle of the operator's scroll, accurately determine the horizontal or vertical scroll input that the operator intends to input, and perform scrolling without any mistake that the operator does not intend. In particular, it is suitable for determining the scroll position based on the scroll instruction distance. Further, by increasing the reliability of horizontal and vertical scroll detection, for example, a rotation instruction for a displayed image can be accurately detected. If the rotation is fine, it is possible to easily instruct scrolling by both horizontal and vertical scrolling.

Further, it includes a finger contact detection unit 91 comprising steps S2 to S4 for detecting that the finger is brought into contact with the display 3 displaying the image, and step S9 for detecting that the movement of the finger on the display 3 is stopped. A finger can be brought into contact with the display 3 that displays an image having a configuration with the finger movement speed detection unit 93, and the movement detection unit 90B that detects that the finger has moved to a predetermined position can be adapted to a tracing operation.
That is, in the case of implementing the present invention, if the movement detectors 90A and 90B are used as means for detecting that the finger is brought into contact with the display 3 displaying the image and moved to a predetermined position, the flick operation is performed. Can be used for any of the operations.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 6, when there is a movement from the position A detected by the finger contact detection unit 91 to the position B detected by the finger contact release detection unit 92 in the flick operation, the deviation correction value δy The horizontal movement input can be obtained by adding the vectors. Further, as shown in FIG. 6, when there is a movement from the position A detected by the finger contact detection unit 91 to the position B detected by the finger contact release detection unit 92, even if the movement is not horizontal, As shown in FIG. 7, the individual difference of the scroll control can be corrected by adding the vector of the deviation correction value δy. Of course, the same applies to the vertical direction.

For example, as shown in FIG. 8, when there is a movement from the position A where the contact is detected by the finger contact detection unit 91 to the position B detected by the finger contact release detection unit 92, it is suddenly near the position B. Even if it has changed, the individual difference of the scroll control can be corrected by adding the vector of the deviation correction value δy. Further, in this embodiment, the deviation correction value δy is calculated as an average value in steps S17 and S21. However, any correction value δy, δx with high probability is required by learning, You can also choose.
The example shown in FIG. 9 is an example. Since the correction values δy and δx with high probability are obtained by learning, even in the case of the position B, correction is performed by adding the vector of the correction values δy of deviation. be able to.

In addition, the information used as the vertical movement distance (y ₂ −y ₁ ) and the horizontal movement distance (x ₂ −x ₁ ) in the above embodiment can be implemented as speed information.
That is, the input / output display device according to the first embodiment includes a finger contact detection unit 91 including steps S2 to S4 for detecting that a finger is brought into contact with the display 3 displaying an image in the flick operation, and the display 3. The finger contact release detecting unit 92 comprising steps S5 to S7 for detecting that the finger contact has been cut off, and the finger contact release detecting unit 92 releasing the contact from the position A where the finger contact detecting unit 91 detected the contact. A movement determination unit 94 comprising step S8 for determining whether the finger movement to the detected position B is horizontal movement or vertical movement by comparing the magnitudes of the horizontal movement speed dx ₁ / dt and the vertical movement speed dy ₁ / dt; It was determined to fast in movement determining unit 94 horizontally traveling speed dx ₁ / dt) or to the vertical movement speed dy ₁ / dt, small and the determined vertical movement speed d ₁ / dt or the horizontal moving speed dx ₁ / dt, as large as the determined horizontal movement velocity dx ₁ / dt of the displacement or relative vertical movement velocity dy ₁ / dt correction value [Delta] y, step S16 and step S17 of storing as [Delta] x, When the correction value storage unit 95 including step S20 and step S21 and the movement determination unit 94 determine vertical movement or horizontal movement, the horizontal movement speed dx ₁ / dt or the vertical movement speed dy ₁ / dt is perpendicular to the magnitude. When the shift determination unit 96, which includes step S18 or step S22 for specifying the scroll distance by vector-combining the correction values Δy and Δx for the deviation in the direction, and the movement determination unit 94 determine vertical movement or horizontal movement, A scroll output unit 97 for specifying a scroll distance from the speed of each of the movement or the horizontal movement It can be grasped as an invention of a configuration provided.

A finger contact detection unit 91 comprising steps S2 to S4 for detecting that the finger is brought into contact with the display 3 displaying the image in the flick operation, and steps S5 to S5 for detecting that the finger contact is cut off from the display 3. In the tracing operation, the finger contact release detecting unit 92 composed of step S7 detects that the finger is brought into contact with the display 3 displaying the image, and the finger contact detecting unit 91 composed of steps S2 to S4 and the display 3 It is replaced with the finger movement speed detection unit 93 consisting of step S28 for detecting that the finger contact movement is stopped, and the movement determination unit 94 is the finger finger movement speed from the position A where the finger contact detection unit 91 detects the contact. movement of the finger in the detection unit 93 to the position B of detecting the stop of the finger, the horizontal movement velocity or horizontal movement or vertical movement dx ₁ intended to determine by comparing the size of dt and vertical movement speed dy ₁ / dt, it will be processed in step S8.

Similar to the input / output display device of the first embodiment, in the case of a flick operation, the finger contact detection unit 91 detects the position where the finger is brought into contact with the display 3 that displays the image, and the finger touches from the display 3. The finger contact release detection unit 92 detects the cut position, and the finger movement from the position where the finger contact detection unit 91 detects contact to the position where the finger contact release detection unit 92 detects contact release is horizontal movement. Or the vertical movement speed is determined by comparing the horizontal movement speed dx ₁ / dt and the vertical movement speed dy ₁ / dt, and the horizontal movement speed dx ₁ / dt or the vertical movement speed dy ₁ / dt determined to be fast. On the other hand, the vertical movement speed dy ₁ / dt or the horizontal movement speed dx ₁ / dt determined to be small is stored in the correction value storage unit 95 as deviation correction values Δy and Δx, and then the movement determination unit 94 Move vertically with or If it is determined that the movement is horizontal, whether or not it is an input for scrolling by vector-synthesizing correction values Δy and Δx for deviation in the direction perpendicular to the magnitude of the horizontal movement speed dx ₁ / dt or the vertical movement speed dy ₁ / dt Is specified by the scroll determination unit 96.
Therefore, it is possible to eliminate the individual difference of the scroll in the vertical direction or the horizontal direction and to make the input freely according to the intention of the operator.

The movement determination unit 94 of the input / output display device according to the first embodiment detects a position detected by the finger contact release detection unit 92 from a position detected by the finger contact detection unit 91 only for an operation within a predetermined width of the display 3. Whether the movement of the finger up to the horizontal movement or the vertical movement is to be determined by comparing the horizontal movement distance (x ₂ −x ₁ ) and the vertical movement distance (y ₂ −y ₁ ). Determine whether the operation within a predetermined width of the vertical intermediate position and the horizontal intermediate position of the display 3, or the operation within a predetermined width inside the four sides of the display 3, or other operations are horizontal movement or vertical movement Therefore, it is possible to determine horizontal movement or vertical movement according to the characteristics of the person.

Specifically, the movement determination unit 94 uses the finger contact release detection unit 92 from the position detected by the finger contact detection unit 91 only for an operation within a predetermined width at the center of the display 3 or inside the four sides of the display 3. Since it is determined by comparing the horizontal movement distance (x ₂ −x ₁ ) and the vertical movement distance (y ₂ −y ₁ ) whether the movement of the finger to the detected position is horizontal movement or vertical movement. Since the setting is made only for the operation within a predetermined width in the center of the display 3 or the four sides of the display 3 that can be easily stored by a person, the input content can be quickly distinguished and the person can scroll. It is possible to perform horizontal or vertical operation without intentional mistakes depending on the consciousness.

The distance deviation correction values δy and δx and the speed deviation correction values Δy and Δx in the correction value storage unit 95 of the input / output display device according to the first embodiment are distances that match the user's characteristics as initial settings. Correction values δy and δx and velocity deviation correction values Δy and Δx are set. Therefore, distance deviation correction values δy and δx and velocity deviation correction values Δy and Δx are set at initial setting. Is stored in the correction value storage unit 95, and the subsequent determination is performed by reading the distance deviation correction values δy and δx and the speed deviation correction values Δy and Δx, thereby enabling high-speed processing.
In addition, since the comparison of the movement determination unit 94 has an opening of a magnification larger than a predetermined value, a thing having a large opening is interpreted as an error, and correction values δy and δx of distance deviation and correction of speed deviation are taken. By treating the values as Δy and Δx, detection other than movement in the horizontal and vertical directions can be performed efficiently. That is, an effective result can be obtained when the comparison of the present embodiment is processed with a magnification. Each Thus, when it is determined that the vertical movement (y ₂ -y ₁₎ or horizontal movement (x ₂ -x _1), vertical movement (y ₂ -y ₁₎ or horizontal movement (x ₂ -x ₁₎ The speed deviation correction values Δy and Δx or the distance deviation correction values δy and δx are corrected from one or more of the speeds or distances to identify the scroll distance.

FIG. 10 illustrates a case where the input / output display device according to the second embodiment is used in a navigation device. Particularly, in the second embodiment, only differences from the first embodiment will be described.
The input / output display device of the second embodiment does not have the correction value storage unit 95 of the first embodiment. The input / output display device according to the second embodiment has a moving direction discrimination area unit 98 instead of the correction value storage unit 95.
This movement direction discrimination area 98 has a vertical area 3e having a predetermined width for horizontal movement or vertical movement in the center of the display 3, an area for specifying the horizontal area 3f, an upper side area 3a, a lower side area 3d, It is a setting part for the right side area 3c and the left side area 3b, and is set as an initial setting requirement.

Next, the control of the navigation device as the input / output display device of the second embodiment configured as described above will be described. The routine in FIG. 11 is performed as an initial setting routine at the time of initial setting.
First, in initialization, as shown in FIG. 12 in step S01, the four sides of the display 3 prepared, that is, the upper side area 3a, the lower side area 3d, the right side area 3c, and the left side area 3b are displayed. Independently select the upper side area 3a and the right side area 3c or the left side area 3b, or select the lower side area 3d and the right side area 3c or the left side area 3b, and horizontal and vertical horizontal in a cross shape at the center The area 3f and the vertical area 3e are lit and displayed. As a result, the area to be set is displayed. Next, a desired area is selected from the area areas (upper side area 3a, lower side area 3d, right side area 3c, left side area 3b, vertical area 3e, horizontal area 3f) that are turned on in step S02. 3d, right side area 3c, left side area 3b, vertical area 3e, horizontal area 3f) and area selection key 35 are touched to perform area selection. At this time, the selected area blinks.

Unless the area selection completion key 36 is operated, the display of the area selected in step S03 is displayed in a transmissive color such as pale yellow, pale orange, and pale green, for example, from step S01 to step S03. The determination in step S04 and step S06 is negative, and the area selection routine in step S08 is repeatedly executed.
Next, in order to determine the area width in step S04, when the area width enlargement input key 37 for increasing the width is pressed with the set blinking area display continuously turned on, every time the pressing is performed in step S05. When the width reduction input key 38, which is widened by 0.5 mm on one side and the width is narrowed in step S06, is pressed, in step S07, the width is narrowed by 0.5 mm for each press, and the area is set in step S08. Until the completion key 36 is pressed, the routine from step S01 to step S08 is repeatedly executed. By pressing the area setting completion key 36, a desired area and its width are determined from the area areas (upper side area 3a, lower side area 3d, right side area 3c, left side area 3b, vertical area 3e, horizontal area 3f). End the initialization routine.

Next, the control of the map search routine of the navigation device as the input / output display device of the second embodiment configured as described above will be described.
FIGS. 13 and 14 are flowcharts of a “map search routine” of the navigation device as the input / output display device according to the second embodiment. When the vehicle is stopped during execution of the main program of the vehicle, the map is displayed. Called when the search 31 menu is selected.
First, when the map search 31 is selected during execution of the main program of the vehicle, it is subsequently determined in step S21 whether the touch switch of the map search 31 of FIG. 3 is turned on, and the processing of this routine is entered. At the same time, as shown in FIG. 15, the screen indicates that the display 3 is in the map search mode of “location registration” on the map 32 at the current position 33 on the display 3.

If it is determined in step S22 that the finger touches the touch switch and touch is determined, the position A (x ₁ , y ₁ ) on the touch switch is read in step S23, and the finger touch switch is detected in step S24. Position A (x ₁ , y ₁ ) is stored in the RAM 12. Position A (x _1, y ₁₎ of the finger in the step S25 movement is determined whether or not made, the process proceeds to step S26 waiting for the movement of the finger position A (x _1, y ₁₎ is made. While the finger position A (x ₁ , y ₁ ) is moved, the routine processing from step S22 to step S25 is performed.

If it is determined in step S25 that the finger position A (x ₁ , y ₁ ) has been moved, in step S26 the position B (x ₂ , y ₂ ) on the touch switch is read, and in step S27 the finger position on the touch switch is read. The position B (x ₂ , y ₂ ) is stored in the RAM 12. In step S28 to calculate the movement velocity of the finger moving from the position of the finger _{A (x 1, y 1)} . In addition, although the differential value is employ | adopted in this Embodiment 2, speed can be represented by the movement distance per unit time or the time in the case of moving predetermined distance 10-30 mm.
Next, in step S29, it is determined whether or not the movement of the finger is stopped at the movement position B (x ₂ , y ₂ ). In particular, in the tracing operation, there is a possibility that the state where the finger is released does not occur, and the time when the moving speed of the finger is lost at the moving position B (x ₂ , y ₂ ) is detected.

In step S30, the movement distance (y ₂ -y ₁ ) of the vertical movement distance (Y axis) and the movement distance (x ₂ -x ₁ ) of the horizontal movement distance (X axis) are calculated. Next, when the movement of the movement detectors 90A and 90B coincides with any one of the predetermined road, railway, and river indicated on the map as an avoidance requirement in step S31, scrolling in a direction other than the predetermined direction is enabled, and step S36 is performed. Enter the process. In addition, this avoidance requirement enables scrolling in a direction other than a predetermined direction when a registered place or a specific icon exists in the vicinity of the position where the finger is brought into contact with the movement detection units 90A and 90B. This avoidance requirement may be arbitrarily selected.

When the avoidance requirement is not satisfied in step S31, the movement of the vertical movement distance (Y axis) determines whether the movement distance (x ₂ -x ₁ ) of the horizontal movement distance (X axis) is within the horizontal area 3f in step S32. Judging by the distance (y ₂ -y ₁ ), if the moving distance (x ₂ -x ₁ ) of the horizontal moving distance (X-axis) is within the range of the horizontal area 3f, the horizontal moving distance (x _2- x ₁ ) and the horizontal movement speed dx ₁ / dt calculated in step S28 having the larger image movement distance are selected. In step S34, whether the moving distance (x ₂ −x ₁ ) of the horizontal moving distance (X axis) is within the range of the vertical area 3f is determined as the moving distance (y ₂ −y ₁ ) of the vertical moving distance (Y axis). If the movement distance (y ₂ −y ₁ ) of the vertical movement distance (Y axis) is within the range of the vertical area 3e, the vertical movement distance (y ₂ −y ₁ ) and the calculation in step S28 are performed. The larger one of the vertical movement speeds dy ₁ / dt and the image movement distance is selected.

In step S36, it is determined that the movement distance (y ₂ -y ₁ ) of the vertical movement distance (Y axis) is not within the range of the vertical area 3e, and the movement distance (x ₂ -x ₁ ) of the horizontal movement distance (X axis). ) Is not within the range of the horizontal area 3f, the vertical movement distance (y ₂ −y ₁ ), the horizontal movement distance (x ₂ −x ₁ ) and the horizontal movement speed dx ₁ / calculated in step S28 are determined in step S37. The larger one of the image moving distances of dt and vertical moving speed dy ₁ / dt is selected.
In step S38, the selection in step S33, step S35, or step S37 is calculated as the scroll distance of the image and output.

The movement of the finger detected by the movement determination unit 94, that is, the movement detection unit 90A is a movement. A movement determination unit 94 that determines that the movement is horizontal when it is within the horizontal direction area of the direction determination area unit 98, and that determines vertical movement when it is within the vertical direction area of the movement direction determination area unit 98. Step S33 that specifies the scroll position from the movement distance of the vertical component of the finger when determined as vertical movement by the unit 94, and specifies the scroll position from the movement distance of the horizontal component of the finger when determined as horizontal movement. A scroll output unit 97 comprising S35, step S37, and step S38 is provided.

  In the input / output display device according to the present embodiment, first, an area area (an upper side area 3a, a lower side area 3d, a right side area 3c, a left side area 3b, a vertical area 3e, The horizontal area 3f) is specified as the moving direction discriminating area 98. In the case of a flick operation, the finger contact detection unit 91 detects the position where the finger is brought into contact with the display 3 displaying the image, and the finger contact release detection unit 92 detects the position where the finger contact is cut off from the display 3. Then, the movement of the finger from the position where the contact is detected by the finger contact detection unit 91 to the position where the contact release is detected by the finger contact release detection unit 92 is the area area (upper side area 3a, lower side) of the movement direction determination area unit 98. Area 3d, right side area 3c, left side area 3b, vertical area 3e, horizontal area 3f), the movement determining unit 94 determines horizontal movement or vertical movement depending on the position, and each of the vertical movement or horizontal movement is determined. The scroll output unit 97 performs scrolling from one or more of these speeds or distances.

  Similarly, in the case of the tracing operation, the finger contact detection unit 91 detects the position where the finger is brought into contact with the display 3 displaying the image, and the finger movement speed detection unit 93 detects the position where the finger movement is stopped from the display 3. The movement of the finger from the position detected by the movement detection unit 90B and detected by the finger contact detection unit 91 to the position where the movement detection unit 90B detected the movement stop is an area of the movement direction determination area unit 98. When within the area (upper side area 3a, lower side area 3d, right side area 3c, left side area 3b, vertical area 3e, horizontal area 3f), the movement determining unit 94 determines horizontal movement or vertical movement depending on the position, and the vertical The scroll output unit 97 performs scrolling from one or more magnitudes of the speed or distance of each movement or horizontal movement.

  Therefore, in the area area (the upper side area 3a, the lower side area 3d, the right side area 3c, the left side area 3b, the vertical area 3e, the horizontal area 3f) having a predetermined width specified for the horizontal movement or vertical movement of the movement direction determination area part 98 When the operator performs an operation, it can be determined that the scroll input is in the horizontal direction or the vertical direction only by detecting the point, so that the scroll instruction is accurately determined, and the scroll without any mistake can be performed. In particular, scroll determination is simplified and high-speed scroll processing is possible.

  The moving direction discrimination area unit 98 of the present embodiment is a predetermined area area (upper side area 3a, lower side area 3d, right side area 3c, left side area 3b, vertical area 3e) in the center of the display 3 or inside the four sides of the display 3. Only for the operations in the horizontal area 3f), it is determined whether the movement of the finger from the position detected by the finger contact detection unit 91 to the position detected by the finger contact release detection unit 92 is horizontal movement or vertical movement. Since the setting is made only for the operation within a predetermined width in the center of the display 3 or the four sides of the display 3 where human memory is easy, the input content can be distinguished quickly and Depending on the consciousness of scrolling, it is possible to perform horizontal or vertical operation without intentional mistakes.

The moving direction discrimination area 98 displays a predetermined area area (upper side area 3a, lower side area 3d, right side area 3c, left side area 3b, vertical area 3e, horizontal area 3f) in a light transparent color. Therefore, it is possible to perform a horizontal or vertical operation without intentional error by improving the human scroll awareness.
Then, the movement of the finger from the position at which contact is detected by the finger contact detection unit 91 according to the second embodiment to the position at which contact release is detected by the finger contact release detection unit 92 is the area area of the movement direction determination area unit 98 ( The upper side area 3a, the lower side area 3d, the right side area 3c, the left side area 3b, the vertical area 3e, and the horizontal area 3f), the movement determining unit 94 determines horizontal movement or vertical movement depending on the position, and the vertical movement or The scroll output unit 97 performs scrolling from one or more of the speeds or distances of the horizontal movements. However, when implementing the present invention, a single output can be determined by the velocity and / or distance of each of the vertical and / or horizontal movements.

  In the case of carrying out the present invention, in an input / output display device capable of displaying a specific position on a map or a photo, the position on the map or the photo is enlarged, reduced, or scrolled to enlarge or reduce a specific place. It is used for a device capable of display output and display input such as a portable information device including a mobile phone to be displayed, an electronic book, and the like, and since the input is not required to be accurate, its handling is easy.

Further, when carrying out the present invention, a finger contact detection unit 91 that detects that a finger is brought into contact with the display 3 that displays an image, and a finger contact release detection unit that detects that the finger is disconnected from the display 3 92 can be treated as a contact distance or a moving speed. According to the empirical rules of the inventors, no matter which one is selected, there is substantially no difference between the two, so that the moving speed and the moving distance can be technically interpreted as synonyms. In the above embodiment, the finger contact release detection unit 92 detects when the contact is lost. In the flick, the finger contact release detection unit 92 detects the position where the finger contact movement is stopped. It becomes the position which refused.
Therefore, when the present invention is implemented, the movement detection unit 90A and the movement detection unit 90A are not affected by these means, and detect that the finger 3 is in contact with the display 3 displaying the image and moved to a predetermined position. Any of the detection units 90B may be used. As a result, it is only necessary that the operator's intention can be detected.
