<First Embodiment>
The touch input system according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described below. This touch input system (hereinafter referred to as an input system) 1 accepts a touch operation performed with a finger.

[Configuration of input system 1]
FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating an example of a hardware configuration of an input system 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the input system 1 includes a main body unit 2 and an operation input unit 3. The main body 2 includes a central processing unit (CPU) 21, a read only memory (ROM) 22, a random access memory (RAM) 23, a speaker 24, a display device 25, and an interface 26.

  The CPU 21 is connected to each component via a bus to perform control signal and data transfer processing, and also executes various programs for realizing the operation of the entire input system 1, arithmetic processing, and the like.

  The ROM 22 stores programs and data necessary for the operation of the entire input system 1. This program is stored in a recording medium such as a DVD-ROM, read out to the RAM 23, and started to be executed by the CPU 21, thereby realizing the input system 1 of the present embodiment.

  The RAM 23 temporarily stores data and programs.

  The speaker 24 outputs sound corresponding to sound data such as sound effects generated by the CPU 21.

  The display device 25 can be a flat panel display such as a liquid crystal display or EL (Electro-Luminescence).

  The operation input unit 3 connected to the interface 26 includes a sensor that detects a touch operation performed by the user at the time of inputting information, and the sensor output is transmitted to the CPU 21 via the interface 26 and processed. In this embodiment, the interface 26 and the operation input unit 3 are wirelessly connected, but a wired configuration may be employed. In this embodiment, the user operates the main body unit 2 by moving a label such as a corresponding cursor on the display screen of the display device 25 by placing a finger on the operation input unit 3. This operation is possible. If so, any method may be adopted as the configuration of the operation input unit 3.

  The operation input unit 3 includes, for example, a touch panel. The sensor provided in the operation input unit 3 is, for example, a pressure sensor that detects contact with the operation input unit 3 by the user. Moreover, the sensor of this embodiment is a multi-touch sensor, for example, and it is not necessary to provide hardware structures, such as a button separately, like a trackpad.

  It is conceivable to employ an icon, a pointer, a cursor, etc. as the above-mentioned indication.

  2A and 2B are diagrams illustrating an example of the appearance of the operation input unit 3, where FIG. 2A is a top view of the operation input unit 3, and FIG. 2B is a side view of the operation input unit 3. The operation input unit 3 illustrated in FIG. 2A includes an operation surface 31 on which the above-described sensor is mounted and an outer frame 32. When a finger touches the operation surface 31, the sensor touches the operation surface 31. Is detected.

  For example, the menu button 33 plays a role of switching to an input operation using a software keyboard or an input operation using a sign such as a cursor. The input operation may be switched by a preset touch operation (for example, touch with five fingers).

  As shown in FIG. 2B, the operation input unit 3 is provided with an inclination so that the front is low and the depth is high when viewed from the user, and is configured to be easily operated.

[Outline of touch operation]
Next, an outline of the touch operation realized by the input system 1 will be described with reference to FIG. 3, FIG. 4, and FIG. FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of how to use the touch operation via the operation input unit 3, where (a) is a touch operation with only the thumbs of both hands 110 and 120, and (b) is an index finger of the right hand 110. And the index finger and thumb of the left hand 120 are shown. FIG. 4 is a timing chart illustrating an example of the first touch operation, the second touch operation, and the operation image. FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of the operation mode.

  For example, as shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, when the user touches the operation input unit 3 with one or two fingers of both hands 110 and 120, the sensor of the operation input unit 3 Detects a user's touch operation. For example, in the example of FIGS. 4A to 4E, after the user touches with two fingers of the right hand (forefinger and thumb), touch with one finger (thumb) of the left hand (second touch operation) ) And a pinch-out operation (first touch operation) that spreads the two fingers of the right hand, and an operation mode of screen enlargement operation (FIG. 4 (c)) corresponding to the pinch-out operation has been established. That is, an example in which the display screen of the display device 25 is enlarged is shown. In this case, according to the operation images of FIGS. 4D and 4E, the CPU 21 positions each of the signs A1 and A2 when each finger touches the operation input unit 3 (d1 → d3, d2 → d4). Corresponding to the position in the display area 251 of the display device 25.

  In this embodiment, the signs A1 and A2 are displayed in response to the first touch operation. However, when the second touch operation is executed, all the signs A1 and A2 are erased collectively. It may be.

  In the input system 1, the CPU 21 determines an operation mode of a series of touch operations including the first touch operation and the second touch operation by referring to an operation mode pattern shown in FIG. 5, for example. This pattern is recorded in the ROM 22 and is read from the ROM 22 when the tap operation of the input system 1 is executed.

  As shown in an example in FIG. 5, the operation mode is associated with each operation content of the first touch operation and the second touch operation in advance. Here, the first touch operation and the second touch operation are performed with different fingers, and the second touch operation is performed when the first touch operation is performed.

  In FIG. 5, for example, when the first touch operation is “single touch” performed with one finger and the second touch operation is “single tap”, the operation mode is set as “click operation”. When the first touch operation is “single touch” and the second touch operation is “double tap”, the operation mode is set as “double click operation”. The tap operation may be performed with one or a plurality of fingers.

  Further, in FIG. 5, when the first touch operation is a multi-touch “pinch-out operation or pinch-in operation” performed with two fingers, and the second touch operation is “single touch”, the operation mode is “ “Enlargement / reduction operation of screen” is set (see FIG. 4 for enlargement operation). When the first touch operation is “single touch” and the second touch operation is “slide” that moves a finger (regardless of the number), the operation mode is set as “drag operation”. In the case where the first touch operation is “single touch” and the second touch operation is “flip” which is released after touching the finger, the operation mode is set as “flip operation”.

  The correspondence relationship between the first touch operation and the second touch operation is not limited to that illustrated in FIG. Various settings can be considered for the correspondence. For example, as an example of the operation mode of “screen enlargement / reduction operation”, the correspondence relationship between the first touch operation (single touch) and the second touch operation (pinch-out operation or pinch-in operation performed with two fingers) is shown. It may be set.

  In the case where the operation mode is “drag operation”, the single touch used in the first touch operation after the first touch operation (single touch) and the second touch operation (single touch or multi-touch) is used. You may set the correspondence which drags with a finger.

  Furthermore, as a case where the operation mode is “flip operation”, the single touch used in the first touch operation after the first touch operation (single touch) and the second touch operation (single touch or multi-touch) is used. A correspondence relationship for flipping with a finger may be set.

  6A and 6B are diagrams illustrating an example of basic touch operation, where FIG. 6A is a touch operation performed with a finger on the operation input unit 3, and FIG. 6B is a slide operation that moves two fingers in an arbitrary direction. , (C) illustrates a sliding operation for moving three fingers leftward, and (d) illustrates a rotating operation for moving two fingers clockwise.

  6A to 6D exemplify a case where the first touch operation is performed with the finger of the right hand 110 and the second touch operation is performed with the thumb of the left hand 120.

  Here, since a sensor is mounted on the operation surface of the operation input unit 3, when a finger is touched on the operation surface of the operation input unit 3, the sensor detects the touch operation.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an example of a functional configuration of the main body 2 of the input system 1 realized on the hardware configuration illustrated in FIG. 1.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the main body 2 of the input system 1 includes a storage unit 101, a display control unit 102, a display unit 103, an operation mode determination unit 104, and an input operation execution unit 105.

  The storage unit 101 includes the ROM 22 and the RAM 23 in FIG. 1, and stores data such as operation mode patterns (see FIG. 5).

  The display control unit 102 functions by the CPU 21. The display control unit 102 causes the display unit 103 to display a label (cursor or the like) as a selection target based on a first touch operation detected first based on a signal from the sensor 31 of the operation input unit 3.

  The display unit 103 is configured by the display device 25 in FIG. 1 and is provided to make the sign visible to the user.

  When the second touch operation following the first touch operation is detected in the state where the first touch operation described above is detected, the operation mode determination unit 104 performs the first touch operation and the second touch operation. The operation mode of a series of touch operations including the touch operations is determined. Examples of the operation mode include click operation, double click operation, screen enlargement / reduction operation, drag operation, flip operation, scroll operation, swipe operation, and screen rotation operation. The process for determining the operation mode will be described in detail later.

  The input operation execution unit 105 performs an input operation according to the operation mode determined by the operation mode determination unit 104. Note that both the operation mode determination unit 104 and the input operation execution unit 105 function by the CPU 21.

[Operation of input system 1]
Hereinafter, the operation of the input system 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 1, 4, 5, 8 and 9. FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing an outline of an overall operation example of the input system 1.

  In FIG. 8, first, the CPU 21 displays, for example, a cursor as an indication on the display area 251 of the display device 25 based on the first touch operation via the operation input unit 3 (step S101). In the example of FIG. 4, the CPU 21 displays the cursors A1 and A2 at positions on the display area 251 associated with the positions d1 and d2 of the two fingers touched by the first touch operation. In this case, the CPU 21 receives a signal from the sensor 31 of the operation input unit 3 via the interface 26, and each position of two fingers (a contact point of two fingers touching the operation input unit 3) based on this signal. (D1 → d3, d2 → d4) is determined. The signal from the sensor 31 includes position information indicating the position of the contact point in the touch operation based on the operation input unit 3, and the CPU 21 detects the contact point detected based on the signal from the sensor 31. Corresponding to the movement, the positions A1 and A2 on the display area of the corresponding display device 25 are respectively specified.

  Here, in step S <b> 101, the CPU 21 functions as the display control unit 102.

  Next, the CPU 21 detects the second touch operation following the first touch operation based on the signal from the sensor 31 in a state where the first touch operation is detected in step S101 (YES in step S102). ) Determines the operation mode of a series of touch operations including the first touch operation and the second touch operation (step S103). In this case, when the CPU 21 detects the second touch operation, the CPU 21 refers to, for example, the operation mode pattern shown in FIG. 5 and changes the operation mode of the series of touch operations including the first touch operation and the second touch operation. judge. In other words, the CPU 21 determines the operation mode when detecting the second touch operation.

  For example, in the example of FIG. 4, the CPU 21 performs a first touch operation (pinch-out operation after touching with two fingers) and a second touch operation (single touch) based on a signal from the sensor 31. Identify. Then, the CPU 21 determines the “screen enlargement operation” with reference to the operation mode pattern (FIG. 5) from the correspondence between the two touch operations.

  In steps S102 and S103, the CPU 21 functions as the operation mode determination unit 104.

  Note that the time point at which the operation mode is determined may be after a predetermined time has elapsed since the second touch operation was detected.

  In FIG. 8, when the second touch operation is not detected (No in step S102), the CPU 21 performs a cursor display process (step S101) based on the first touch operation.

  Further, the CPU 21 performs an input operation corresponding to the operation mode (step S104). In the example of FIG. 4, since the CPU 21 determines that the operation mode is a screen enlargement operation, the CPU 21 performs the screen enlargement operation according to the pinch-in operation.

  Here, in step S <b> 104, the CPU 21 functions as the input operation execution unit 105.

  Next, the input process executed by the input system 1 will be described more specifically with reference to FIG. FIG. 9 is a flowchart for explaining in detail the input processing of this embodiment.

  9, S201, S202, S204, and S206 to S208 correspond to the operation mode determination unit 104, S203 and S205 correspond to the display control unit 102, and S209 corresponds to the input operation execution unit 105, respectively.

  FIG. 9 illustrates an example in which STEP1 and STEP2 are described as processing of separate groups, S201 to S203 and S204 to S209.

  In FIG. 9, first, the CPU 21 detects a finger that makes contact first based on a signal from the sensor 31 (step S201), and classifies the detected finger as STEP1 (first touch operation group) (step S202). ). In this case, when a plurality of fingers are detected, all touch operations performed with the plurality of fingers are classified as a first touch operation group.

  Next, the CPU 21 displays an indication on the display device 25 based on the finger touch operation classified as STEP 1 (step S203). This display example is as indicated by the signs A1 and A2 shown in FIG.

  When the CPU 21 detects a finger that makes contact based on a signal from the sensor 31 after displaying the above-described sign, the CPU 21 classifies the detected finger as STEP 2 (second touch operation group) (step S204). . That is, the CPU 21 determines the touch operation by dividing it into either the first touch operation or the second touch operation based on the time difference when the touch operation is detected. The CPU 21 can determine the time difference of the touch operation from the reception time of the detection signal from the sensor 31. In this case, a time difference for classifying the first touch operation and the second touch operation is determined in advance.

  Here, in step S204, if the detected touch operation with the finger is an operation for displaying the indication, the CPU 21 displays the indication on the display device 25 based on the touch operation classified in STEP2. (Step S205). In addition, when the display of the indication of STEP2 is unnecessary, processing like S205 is not necessary.

  As a result of detecting the contact of the finger in step S203, the CPU 21 determines that the user has an intention of “decision” operation that may confirm the content of the touch operation (step S206), and is classified into STEP1 and STEP2. The type of the “decision” action by the action of the finger is determined (step S207). When step S207 is executed, a corresponding operation mode is extracted from the operation mode pattern illustrated in FIG.

  Next, the CPU 21 assigns the “decision” operation to the indication of STEP 1 (step S208), and performs the change processing of the indication of STEP 1 (step S209). Here, in step S208, for example, if a “decision” operation indicating an enlargement operation of the screen is assigned, the CPU 21 moves the indication of STEP1 according to the movement of the finger of STEP1 performed for the enlargement operation. (See the signs A1 and A2 in FIG. 4E).

  As described above, according to the input system 1 of the present embodiment, when the user performs the first touch operation and the second touch operation, those operations that have been determined to be different operations by the time difference of the touch. An operation mode corresponding to a series of touch operations is determined, and an input operation corresponding to the operation mode is performed. Here, in order to determine the operation mode, the user must perform the first touch operation and the second touch operation. In other words, the user must perform the second touch operation with a finger different from the finger of the first touch operation. This is equivalent to the user performing an instruction for the input operation every time the second touch operation is performed, and thus the correct input operation is performed.

  The input operation unit 3 is configured separately from the display device 25. That is, according to the input system 1, a multi-touch operation can be performed using a touch sensor that does not have a display function.

  Here, the operation input unit 3 does not include operation units such as operation keys and operation buttons. In this respect, according to the input system 1, the manufacturing cost is reduced. In addition, the user can freely move and operate the finger without using the operation keys, operation buttons, or the like of the operation input unit 3, so that the degree of freedom with respect to the movement of the finger of one hand or both hands is increased. That is, it also has an aspect that the operation becomes more intuitive.

  Next, a modification of the input system 1 of the present embodiment will be described.

(Modification 1)
The case where the input operation is performed in response to the touch operation of the fingers of both hands has been described above with reference to FIG. Apart from this, the touch operation may be performed with one hand instead of both hands.

  FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating a usage mode when the user performs a touch operation with one hand. In the example illustrated in FIG. 10, the first touch operation is performed with the index finger of the right hand, and the second touch operation is performed with the thumb of the right hand. This can be implemented by causing the CPU 21 to perform the processing of steps S101 to S104 in the flowchart of FIG. 8 and the processing of steps S201 to S209 of the flowchart of FIG.

  By performing such a touch operation, it is possible to perform a series of touch operations with one hand.

(Modification 2)
Although the use mode of the two operation input units has not been mentioned above, two operation input units may be used. Hereinafter, the functions of the operation input units 3A and 3B will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 11 is a diagram for explaining a correspondence relationship between the operation area 311 of the operation input unit 3A and the display areas 241 and 242 of the display device 25. FIG. 12 is a diagram for explaining a correspondence relationship between the operation area 321 of the operation input unit 3B and the display areas 243 and 244 of the display device 25.

  In the example of FIG. 11, the operation area (operation surface) 311 of the operation input unit 3 </ b> A includes a first display area 241 and a second display area 242 (collectively, “right display” in the entire display area of the display device 25. Also referred to as “region”. This association is performed, for example, according to a mapping table for converting the coordinate data of each area. The first display area 241 is in common with a part of a second display area 244 described later.

  In the input system 1, the total area of the first display area 241 and the second display area 242 is the center of the display area (in the figure, the boundary line between the first display area 241 and the second display area 242 is shown). Is set so as to be larger than the area equally divided into two.

  In the example of FIG. 12, the operation area (operation surface) 321 of the operation input unit 3 </ b> B includes a first display area 243 and a second display area 244 (collectively “left display” in the entire display area of the display device 25. Also referred to as “region”. This association is performed, for example, according to a mapping table for converting the coordinate data of each area. The first display area 243 is common to a part of the second display area 242 described above.

  In this input system 1, the total area of the first display area 243 and the second display area 244 is the center of the display area (in the figure, the boundary line between the first display area 243 and the second display area 244 is shown). Is set so as to be larger than the area equally divided into two.

  According to the input system of this modified example, since the two operation input units 3A and 3B for performing an operation on a predetermined display area are provided, an operation for performing a touch operation on the corresponding display area is performed. An input part is used. In this case, the display areas 241 to 244 of the display device 25 associated with the operation input units 3A and 3B in advance are used as selection screen areas for performing the selection operation of the signs in the order of the first touch. Is set. In this respect, the user can perform the selection operation with either the left or right hand. For example, it is possible to deal with ambidextrous users.

  For example, when the operation input unit 3A is first touched, the CPU 21 sets the first display areas 241 and 242 as selection screen areas.

(Modification 3)
In the input system of the modification 3, the two input operation units 3A and 3B of the modification 2 may be combined and used.

  FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating a usage example in which two input operation units 3A and 3B are combined. In the example of FIG. 12, the input operation units 3 </ b> A and 3 </ b> B are combined, and the operation area of each input operation unit 3 </ b> A and 3 </ b> B is associated with the display area 245 of the display device 25.

  In the input system of this modification, each operation area of the input operation units 3A and 3B is associated with the display area so as to have a one-to-one correspondence.

(Modification 4)
In the input system of the modification example 4, in order to set a keyboard screen in a predetermined area on the display screen 300 and perform a touch operation on the keyboard screen, each keyboard screen area and the operation input unit 3 or The operation areas of the operation input units 3A and 3B are associated with each other.

  For example, FIG. 13 illustrates a usage mode of the input system in which a touch operation can be performed on a keyboard screen displayed on the display device. In FIG. 13, two keyboard screens are arranged in the display screen 300, and each keyboard screen is configured to be able to select data in the keyboard screen, for example, by touching the operation input unit 3 with a finger.

  In the example of the operation input units 3A and 3B, the operation input units 3A and 3B can be selected by touching the operation input units 3A and 3B with a finger. Thus, the user can perform a touch operation via the operation input unit.

  The input system can be used in various situations. For example, FIG. 14 illustrates a mode in which the user uses the operation input unit 3 while sitting on the sofa. Further, for example, FIG. 15 illustrates another usage mode of the operation input unit 3.

[Other changes]
In the above, the case where the two signs A1 and A2 corresponding to the two-finger touch operation are displayed has been described with reference to FIG. 4, but the present invention is not limited to this. Even in the case of an input system using a single sign corresponding to a single-finger touch operation or three or more signs corresponding to a touch operation of three or more fingers, the same operations and effects are exhibited. .
