Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system for enlarging and virtualizing a screen for increasing selection elements and intuitively making a selection.SOLUTION: A "device A" for selecting a selection element in an actual screen and a "device B" for selecting the right or left of a virtual screen for which the actual screen is enlarged are provided. The screen including the selection element is selected by the "device B", and the selection element in the screen is selected by the "device A".

Description

The present invention solves this by enlarging and virtualizing the screen in order to increase the number of elements selected by the cursor.

The conventional screen was narrow. Elements that could not fit on the screen were displayed using complicated means.

Reference numeral 123456 in FIG. 1 denotes a selection element, which is an independent element. The shape and size are as shown in the figure. The solid line in FIG. 1 is a screen.
If 123456 is displayed on the screen, 456 cannot be displayed as shown in FIG.
The screen is enlarged and virtualized as shown in FIG. This is a virtual screen with a dotted square enlarged.
Enlarging and virtualizing means to make the screen larger than the conventional size, but not to actually enlarge the screen, but to make it larger as an imaginary screen.
As shown in FIG. 4, the actual screen can be selected to the right or left of the enlarged virtual screen.
If the left is selected, it becomes FIG. 5, and if the right is selected, it becomes FIG. When 123456 is displayed, it becomes FIG. 7 or FIG.
The device that selects 123456 in the actual screen is “device A”, and the device that selects the right or left of the enlarged virtual screen is “device B”. “Device A” can only select 123 in FIG. 7, and can only select 456 in FIG. 8. “Device B” can select only the state of FIG. 7 or the state of FIG.
Here, the device is a mouse, a cross key or the like. Two devices may be prepared, mouse back and mouse B, or a switch button or the like may be prepared for one mouse, and the two functions of mouse A and B may be provided in one device.
For example, “Device A” is a mouse and “Device B” is a right button and a left button. The functions of “Device A” and “Device B” are applied to one mouse, and the normal mouse operation is the role of “Device A”. To. Or, when the mouse is moved left and right while pressing the left and right two clicks, the role of “device B” is given.
9, 10, 11, 12, and 13 are the top-bottom relationships of FIGS. 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8.
A plurality of enlarged virtual screens as shown in FIG. 14 are prepared (one dotted screen is arranged in nine squares), and one actual screen is selected from the nine by “Device B”.
In FIG. 15, the enlarged virtual screen is arranged in a cross and the central screen is removed. In other words, 5 dotted squares are arranged in a cross and one at the center is removed (becomes 4). In other words, four dotted squares are arranged in a cross. In FIG. 15, five dotted squares appear to be arranged in a cross shape, but there is no middle dotted dotted square (there are only four dotted squares).
In this arrangement, if “device B” can be operated only in a cross shape, one screen is assigned to each operation for the right, left, upper, and lower operations. In addition, when the device “B” can be operated only in the cross direction only in the counterclockwise direction, it is selected in the counterclockwise direction around the center.
16 and 17 show the menu positions at the time of FIG. The oval is the menu.

Intuitively select multiple elements quickly.
