Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve all of problems of decrease in visibility of information, bad operability, and limitation of an object to be operated.SOLUTION: An information display unit includes an information extraction part (133) which extracts information including data of the same kind with data displayed in a touched primary thumbnail from a plurality of pieces of acquired information, and a thumbnail creation part (14) regards, as one piece of secondary information, a plurality of pieces of information that the information extraction part (133) extracts and creates a thumbnail of the secondary information as a secondary thumbnail.

Description

  The present invention relates to an information display device that displays a plurality of information as a list, and more particularly, to an information display device that displays a list of information thumbnails.

  In an information display device that displays a plurality of information as a list, information that is not required to be browsed can be normally hidden according to the conditions set by the viewing user for the purpose of improving the browsing property of the information. For example, in an application that displays a large number of information in various orders and numbers, such as posting to a social networking service (hereinafter referred to as SNS), a specific post is not displayed for the purpose of improving the viewability of the displayed information. A display function is provided. Specifically, Facebook, which is one of the SNSs, provides a function of hiding a specific user's posts from the list. This function can display a menu and hide posts by a specific user by menu operation. That is, a single condition of a specific user and the entire list of postings are targeted, and postings that match the conditions are hidden.

  In the above method, in order to hide the posting of the specific user from the list, the menu is displayed and the displayed menu is operated, so that there is a problem that the operation is troublesome and the operability is poor. In order to solve this problem, in Patent Document 1, the number of images displayed on the screen is reduced by performing a pinch-in operation on both ends of a plurality of images displayed side by side on the screen. Means are provided. By this means, it is possible to display information collectively with a simple operation without reducing visibility. The method disclosed in Patent Document 1 is to display an image that matches a selected condition with a single condition of a selected image as a target by an operation on the screen.

JP 2011-003977 A (released on 2011-06-06)

  However, with the function of hiding a specific user's post provided in Facebook, a post that has been hidden by a simple operation can be displayed after the post of the specific user is hidden from the list. Since this is not possible, there is a problem that visibility is lowered. In addition, in order to execute an operation for hiding a post, it is necessary to display a menu and determine the operation with the menu, so there is a problem that the operability is poor.

  Moreover, in patent document 1, the image in a screen is object and there exists a subject that the image which is not displayed on a screen is excluded from operation with respect to all the images contained in a list.

  Therefore, the functions provided by Facebook have the problem of “decrease in information visibility” and “poor operability”, and Patent Document 1 has the problem of “restricted operation target”. In the technology, there arises a problem that these three problems cannot be solved simultaneously.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and its purpose is to simultaneously solve the respective problems of reduced visibility of information, poor operability, and limited operations. An object of the present invention is to provide an information display device that can be used.

  In order to solve the above problem, an information display device according to an aspect of the present invention provides a plurality of information for specifying acquired information in an information display device that displays a list of thumbnails of each of a plurality of acquired information on a touch panel. Among the types of data, at least one type of data is displayed on the touch panel so as to be touch-operable, and a thumbnail creation unit that creates a thumbnail of the information as a primary thumbnail, and a primary thumbnail created by the thumbnail creation unit The touch operation receiving unit that receives the touch operation of the data displayed on the screen, the data specifying unit that specifies the type of data that the touch operation receiving unit has received the touch operation, and the same type of data specified by the data specifying unit An information extraction unit that extracts information including types of data from a plurality of acquired information. Nail creation unit sets a plurality of information the information extraction portion is extracted as one of the secondary information, is characterized in that to create thumbnails of the secondary information as the secondary thumbnail.

  According to one aspect of the present invention, it is possible to simultaneously solve the problems of reduced visibility of information, poor operability, and limited operations.

Embodiment 1
An embodiment of the present invention will be described as follows. In the present embodiment, a case of SNS (social networking service) posting data (hereinafter referred to as SNS posting data) will be described as an example of information displayed by the information display device as a list. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of an information display apparatus 101 according to the present embodiment.

<Overview of information display device>
As shown in FIG. 1, the information display device 101 includes a touch panel 11, a touch panel determination unit 12, a control unit 13, a thumbnail creation unit 14, a display control unit 15, a communication unit 16, a post data processing unit 17, and a first storage unit. 18 and the 2nd memory | storage part 19 are provided, and the SNS contribution data are acquired from the SNS server 102 via the said communication part 16. FIG.

  The touch panel 11 includes a flat display panel such as a liquid crystal panel or an organic EL panel in which a display unit for displaying the SNS posting data and a touch sensor for receiving a user operation are integrated. The touch panel 11 sends operation information indicating the received user operation position and operation method to the touch panel determination unit 12.

  The touch panel determination unit 12 receives operation information from the touch panel 11, determines an operation method received by the touch panel 11, and determines coordinates where an operation on the touch panel 11 has occurred. Here, the coordinates at which an operation has occurred are defined with the upper left display screen of the touch panel 11 as the origin (0, 0), the horizontal direction as the X coordinate, and the vertical direction as the Y coordinate.

  The touch panel determination unit 12 sends information regarding the obtained operation method and coordinates to the control unit 13. Here, examples of the operation method include taps, double taps, flicks, pinch-ins, and pinch-outs that are generally performed on touch panels. That is, the touch panel determination unit 12 determines which of these operations is the operation received by the touch panel 11 and obtains the coordinates of the operation position. For example, when the touch panel determination unit 12 detects pinch-in as the operation method, the coordinate with the smaller Y coordinate is the pinch-in coordinate (1), and the coordinate with the larger Y coordinate is the pinch-in coordinate (2). In this case, the touch panel determination unit 12 sends to the control unit 13 that the operation method is pinch-in and that the Y coordinate is two pinch-in coordinates (1) and (2).

  The control unit 13 controls the entire operation of the information display apparatus 101. Details of the control unit 13 will be described later.

  The information display apparatus 101 configured as described above acquires SNS post data from the SNS server 102 via the communication unit 16. Here, the SNS server 102 is an SNS server provided by a social networking service such as Facebook, mixi, or Twitter, and defines WebAPI. That is, the SNS server 102 sends the SNS posting data to the communication unit 16 in response to the Web API requested by the communication unit 16.

  The communication unit 16 is a communication unit for acquiring SNS post data from the SNS server 102 according to an instruction from the post data processing unit 17. Specifically, using the Web API defined by the SNS server 102, SNS post data (hereinafter referred to as post data) designated by http communication or https communication is acquired from the SNS server 102, and post data processing is performed. Send to part 17.

  The posted data is converted into a desired format by the posted data processing unit 17 and stored in the first storage unit (storage unit) 18. That is, the posting data processing unit 17 shapes and arranges the posting data acquired via the communication unit 16 according to the instruction of the control unit 13 so that the posting data can be stored in the first storage unit 18. To store. Here, aligning means sorting the posted data according to a certain rule. In the present embodiment, it is defined that sorting the posted data in order of newest time posted to the SNS server 102 is arranged.

  Post data stored in the first storage unit 18 is read from the post data processing unit 17, the control unit 13, and the thumbnail creation unit 14 as necessary. For example, as shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, each post data is stored in the first storage unit 18 in a list with information included in each post data. The details of the information stored in the first storage unit 18 will be described later.

  In response to an instruction from the control unit 13, the thumbnail creation unit 14 creates a thumbnail (primary thumbnail) of the post data stored in the first storage unit 18 and sends the thumbnail to the display control unit 15 and the first storage unit 18. . On this thumbnail, screen components (graphic data) are displayed so that touch information can be displayed for preset information among the information listed for each post data.

  The display control unit 15 displays thumbnails to be displayed on the display screen of the touch panel 11 using the thumbnails created by the thumbnail creation unit 14 and graphic data such as background images stored in the second storage unit 19. This is means for appropriately arranging the position and the screen components constituting each thumbnail. For example, as shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, screen components that can identify each SNS posting data are displayed on the display screen of the touch panel 11 as thumbnails. Details of the thumbnail screen components will be described later.

  The information display device having the above-described configuration not only displays a list of thumbnails of the acquired post data on the display screen of the touch panel 11, but also allows the thumbnails of the post data to be easily bundled and displayed on the basis desired by the user. It is said. In the present embodiment, bundling thumbnails of posted data is realized by the touch operation receiving unit 131, the data specifying unit 132, the information extracting unit 133, the thumbnail creating unit 14, and the display control unit 15 included in the control unit 13. doing.

  Specifically, the touch operation accepting unit 131 of the control unit 13 accepts a touch operation of a screen component (data) indicating information to the extent that the posted data displayed on the thumbnail displayed on the touch panel 11 can be specified. The data specifying unit 132 specifies the type of data for which the touch operation receiving unit 131 has received a touch operation. The information extraction unit 133 acquires post data including the same type of data as the type of data specified by the data specification unit 132 and extracts it from a plurality of post data stored in the first storage unit 18. The thumbnail creation unit 14 uses a plurality of pieces of post data extracted by the information extraction unit 133 as one piece of information as secondary information (bundled post data), and creates a thumbnail (secondary thumbnail) of the secondary information. In this secondary thumbnail, for example, as shown in FIG. 6B, a symbol M indicating that the posted data is bundled is displayed. Details of how to bundle the SNS post data will be described later. Here, a thumbnail displaying a symbol M indicating that the posting data is bundled is distinguished as a secondary thumbnail, and a thumbnail not displaying the symbol M indicating that the posting data is bundled is distinguished as a primary thumbnail. For convenience of explanation, when either thumbnail is acceptable, it is simply referred to as “thumbnail”.

  Further, the control unit 13 determines a policy for bundling SNS posting data from the two pinch-in coordinates (1) and (2) sent from the touch panel determination unit 12, and the determined bundling policy is the first storage unit. 18 is stored.

<Storage method of SNS post data>
The posted data processing unit 17 converts the posted data into the format shown in FIG. 2A and stores it in the first storage unit 18. Specifically, one piece of post data includes the coordinates and size of the display position of the post data, the SNS type, the coordinates and size of the display position of the SNS type, the name of the user who posted the information (hereinafter referred to as the user name), the user The coordinates and size of the display position of the name, the posted article, the coordinates and size of the display position of the posted article, the posting time (hereinafter referred to as posting time), and the coordinates and size of the display position of the posting time.

  The coordinates and size of the display position of the SNS posting data, the type of SNS, the user name, the posting article, and the posting time store the X coordinate, the Y coordinate, the width, and the height with the upper left when the screen is displayed on the touch panel 11 being stored. . Posting time is expressed as 4 digits for the year, 2 digits for the month, 2 digits for the day, 2 digits for the hour, 2 digits for the minute, 2 digits for the second, and the year, month, day, hour, minute, Store as seconds. The SNS posting data is arranged and stored by the posting data processing unit 17 in the order of posting time.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, as information for bundling post data, two items of “bundled post type” and “bundled post number” are newly added to the format shown in FIG. Add Here, in the case of bundling posts, the “type of posted bundling” stores any of “SNS type”, “user name”, “posted article”, and “posting time”, and which type Indicates whether you are bundling posts. For a post that is not bundled, the numerical value 1 is stored in the “type of post that is bundled”. A numerical value 0 is stored in the “bundled post type” in the target post that is bundled. The “number of posted posts bundled” stores the number of posts to be bundled.

  A specific example of the stored contents of the new item of the posted data is shown in FIG. Here, the post number 0 is bundled by the user name because the “type of post bundled” is “user name”. Also, since the “number of posted posts” is a numerical value 2 and a numerical value 3, the postings “number” 2 and 3 are bundled.

  The post with the number 1 is not bundled because the “type of post bundled” is the numerical value 1. Posts with numbers 2 and 3 indicate that they are bundled because the “bundled post type” is a numerical value 0. The post of number 4 is bundled by the posted article because the “type of posted bundle” is “posted article”. In addition, since the “number of postings bundled” is the numerical value 5, the postings of “number” 5 are bundled. The post with the number 5 indicates that it is bundled because the “type of post bundled” is 0.

<SNS post data thumbnail display screen>
A list of thumbnails of SNS posting data on the display screen of the touch panel 11 is as shown in FIG. This display screen is a screen configured by the display control unit 15. The area 21 of the display screen is an area that can be scrolled, and the area 22 is an area that cannot be scrolled. In the area 21, the SNS post data stored in the first storage unit 18 are displayed in order of numbers from the top. An update button is arranged in the area 22, and when the update button is operated (such as a touch operation by the user), the screen displayed in the area 21 is updated. For example, when the new SNS post data is acquired, the newly acquired SNS post data is displayed in the area 21 by operating the update button.

  One thumbnail shown in FIG. 3A displays various data (screen components) for specifying the SNS posting data, as shown in FIG. 3B. Here, an example is shown in which one post is composed of four screen component parts of “SNS type”, “user name”, “posted article”, and “posting time”. That is, the code | symbol 23 has displayed the user name. In addition, an image defined by the user may be displayed. The code | symbol 24 has shown the kind of SNS. You may display the graphic prescribed | regulated by SNS. Reference numeral 25 indicates a posted article. Reference numeral 26 indicates a posting time.

  These screen components displayed on one thumbnail are displayed so as to be selectable by a touch operation. Specifically, when the user touches the screen component, the touch panel determination unit 12 can determine that the screen component has been selected.

<Process to determine how to bundle SNS post data>
In the present embodiment, a description will be given assuming that a pinch-in operation is used as a method of bundling SNS posting data displayed in a list on the display screen of the touch panel 11. Here, when pinch-in is detected as an operation method by the touch panel determination unit 12, the pinch-in coordinate (1), which is the coordinate with the smaller Y coordinate, indicates which screen on the thumbnail (post) shown in (b) of FIG. The “bundling method” is determined depending on whether the component is included.

  With reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the SNS post data bundling determination process will be described below. Here, as a parameter for determining how to bundle, the thumbnail including the pinch-in coordinates (1) is the post number “A”, the thumbnail including the pinch-in coordinates (2) is the post number “B”, and “how to bind”. Define as a variable.

  First, “how to bundle”, A and B are set to 0 (S1). Here, the initial value of each parameter is set by setting 0 to each parameter. If the “bundling method” is the initial value 0, the bundling method is not defined.

  Next, a post number including the pinch-in coordinates (1) is determined and stored in A (S2). Here, it is determined which post contains the pinch-in coordinates (1). A post number is determined from the pinch-in coordinates (1) and the coordinates and size of each post data shown in FIG. The determined number is one of the “numbers” shown in FIG.

  Subsequently, the post number including the pinch-in coordinates (2) is determined and stored in B (S3). Here, it is determined which post contains the pinch-in coordinates (2). Similarly to S2, the number of the posting is determined from the pinch-in coordinates (2) and the coordinates and size of each posting data shown in FIG. The determined number is one of the “numbers” shown in FIG.

  Next, it is determined whether or not the “bundled post type” of A is 1 (S4). Here, it is determined whether or not the post with the number stored in A, that is, the post including the pinch-in coordinate (1) is already bundled. Specifically, it is possible to determine whether or not the post has already been bundled by confirming the presence / absence of “bundled post number” shown in FIG. In S4, in the case of NO, that is, when the pinch-in coordinate (1) is included in a post that has already been bundled, the processing is terminated. On the other hand, if YES in S4, that is, if the post that has already been bundled does not include the pinch-in coordinates (1), the process proceeds to S5 to determine whether A = B or B = 0.

  Here, in S5, in the case of YES, that is, when it is determined that A = B, since A = B is the same, the posts stored in A and B are not targeted for bundling, and the process is terminated. If it is determined that B = 0, the pinch-in coordinates (2) are not included in the post data, and thus the process ends. On the other hand, if NO in S5, that is, if A = B and B = 0, the process proceeds to S6 to execute a bundling determination process. The bundling method determination process of S6 is realized by the processes from S11 to S22 shown in FIG. Here, the post number included in the pinch-in coordinates (1) will be described as X.

  First, the coordinate range of the “SNS type” of number X is set (S11). The coordinates and size of the SNS type of the post corresponding to the number X are acquired from the first storage unit 18, and the coordinate range of the SNS type is set.

  Next, it is determined whether the pinch-in coordinate (1) is included in the “SNS type” (S12). Here, it is determined whether the pinch-in coordinate (1) is included in the “SNS type” using the coordinates and size acquired in S11. If YES in S12, the bundling method is determined as “SNS type” (S13), and the process ends. On the other hand, if NO in S12, the process proceeds to S14, where the coordinate range of the “user name” of number X is set.

  Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the pinch-in coordinate (1) is included in the “user name” (S15). Here, the coordinates and size acquired in S14 are used to determine whether or not the pinch-in coordinates (1) are included in the “user name”. If YES in S15, the bundling method is determined as “user name” (S16), and the process is terminated. On the other hand, in S15, in the case of NO, the process proceeds to S17, and the coordinate range of “post time” of number X is set.

  Next, it is determined whether or not the pinch-in coordinate (1) is included in the “posting time” (S18). Here, it is determined whether the pinch-in coordinate (1) is included in the “posting time” using the coordinates and size acquired in S17. If YES in S18, the bundling method is determined as “posting time” (S19), and the process ends. On the other hand, in S18, in the case of NO, the process proceeds to S20, and the coordinate range of the “posted article” with the number X is set.

  Next, it is determined whether the pinch-in coordinate (1) is included in the “posted article” (S21). Here, it is determined whether the pinch-in coordinate (1) is included in the “posted article” using the coordinates and size acquired in S20. If YES in S21, the bundling method is determined as “posted article” (S22), and the process ends. If NO in S21, the process ends.

  As a result of the above processing, “bundling method”, which is one of the parameters for determining how to bundle, is “0”, “SNS type”, “user name”, “posting time”, “posted article” which means “not applicable”. It will be either. If the “bundling method” is 0, the bundling process is not performed in the following examples.

<Processing when “Bundled Posting Type” is “SNS Type”>
Processing for bundling SNS posting data by “SNS type” will be described below.

(How to bundle by pinch-in operation (1))
FIG. 6 shows transition of the display screen when the bundling method is “SNS type” and the posted data is bundled by a pinch-in operation. 6A shows an example of a display screen before bundling post data, and FIG. 6B shows an example of a display screen after bundling post data. In FIG. 6, reference numerals 31 and 32 indicate positions where the user's finger is touching the touch panel 11 during the pinch-in operation. Here, since the Y coordinate of the reference numeral 31 is smaller than that of the reference numeral 32, the pinch-in coordinate (1) is determined from the touch position of the reference numeral 31, and the pinch-in coordinate (2) is determined from the touch position of the reference numeral 32. FIG. 6A shows that the pinch-in coordinate (1) is included in the “SNS type”, and the pinch-in coordinate (2) is included in the fourth posting data from the top.

  FIG. 6B shows a result (a list including secondary thumbnails) of performing a pinch-in operation using the pinch-in coordinates (1) and (2) shown in FIG. Here, in the secondary thumbnail, in order to indicate that it is bundled with “SNS type”, an M graphic indicated by reference numeral 33 is displayed near “SNS type” (F).

(How to bundle by pinch-in operation (2))
In FIG. 6, the process of bundling posts displayed on the display screen as a target has been described, but the present invention may perform a process of bundling posts that are not displayed on the display screen. FIG. 7 shows the transition of the display screen when the bundling method is “SNS type” and the posted data is bundled by a pinch-in operation. Here, the difference from the case of FIG. 6 is that, as shown in FIG. 7B, postings of the portion 44 not displayed on the display screen are also bundled. Here, reference numerals 41 and 42 indicate positions where the user's finger is touching the touch panel 11 during the pinch-in operation. Here, since the code 41 has a smaller Y coordinate than the code 42, the pinch-in coordinate (1) is determined from the touch position of the code 41, and the pinch-in coordinate (2) is determined by the touch position of the code 42. . FIG. 7A shows that the pinch-in coordinate (1) is included in the “SNS type” and the pinch-in coordinate (2) is included in the fourth post data from the top.

  FIG. 7C shows the result of the pinch-in operation performed using the pinch-in coordinates (1) and (2) shown in FIG. Here, in order to show that it was bundled with “SNS type”, the M graphic indicated by reference numeral 43 is displayed near “SNS type”. As shown in FIG. 7C, the bundled posts also include posts of the portion 44 that is not displayed on the display screen, as shown in FIG. 7B. Specifically, in this example, since the posts whose “SNS type” is “F” are bundled, the first example illustrated in the portion 44 not displayed on the display screen of FIG. The third post data is also bundled. As a result, in FIG. 7C, the tenth posted data having a different “SNS type” displayed at the bottom is displayed fifth in FIG. 7B.

(Processing when bundling is “SNS type”)
Here, the bundling process based on the “SNS type” determined in S13 of the flowchart shown in FIG. 5 will be described.

  First, the counter variable i is set to A (S31), the “SNS type” of A is stored, set to Z (S32), and the flag variable is set to 0 (S33). That is, A is set to the counter variable i, “SNS type” of the posting data A stored in the first storage unit 18 shown in FIG. 1 is stored in Z, and 0 which is an initial value is set to the flag variable. . This flag variable indicates whether an object to be bundled has been found.

  Next, the counter variable i is incremented (S34). That is, the counter variable indicating the post number to be examined is incremented by one.

  Then, it is determined whether post data i exists (S35). That is, it is determined whether there is a post to be inspected. If NO in S35, that is, if there is no post to be examined, the process proceeds to S41. On the other hand, if YES in S35, that is, if there is a post to be examined, the process proceeds to S36.

  In S <b> 36, it is determined whether the “bundled post type” of the post data i is 1. That is, it is determined whether or not the post data is already bundled. If YES in S36, that is, if a post that has already been bundled is found, the process proceeds to S41 in order to end the bundling operation. On the other hand, if NO in S36, that is, if a post that has already been bundled is not found, the process proceeds to S37.

  In S <b> 37, it is determined whether “SNS type” and Z of the posted data i are the same. That is, it is determined whether the “SNS type” of A, which is the original post to be bundled, matches the “SNS type” of the post (i-th) post to be examined. If NO in S37, that is, if the “SNS type” of posted data i is not the same as Z, the process proceeds to S34 to increment the counter variable i. On the other hand, if YES in S38, that is, if the “SNS type” and Z of the posted data i are the same, the process proceeds to S38.

  In S38, 0 is set in the “bundled post type” of the post data i, and the process proceeds to S39. That is, since the current post (i-th) to be inspected is a target to be bundled, 0 is set in the “bundled post type” of the post data i.

  Next, in S39, i is added to the “number of posted posts” of the posted data A. That is, i is added to “number of posts bundled” of the post data A, and the post number bundled by the post data A is stored.

  Then, the flag variable is set to 1 (S40), the process proceeds to S34, and the counter variable i is incremented. In other words, 1 is set in the flag variable, it is stored whether a target to be bundled is found, the process proceeds to S34, and the counter variable i is incremented.

  If NO in S35, if there is no posting data, and if YES in S36, if the “bundled posting type” of the posting data i is 1, whether or not the flag variable is 1 in S41. Determine whether. That is, S41 is performed when there are no more posts to be inspected, and determines whether or not posts to be bundled are found.

  Here, if NO in S41, that is, if the flag variable is not 1, the process ends. If YES in S41, that is, if the flag variable is 1, in S42, “posted bundled posting data A”. "Type of SNS" is set to "type of SNS", and the process ends. That is, in S42, the fact that it is bundled with the “SNS type” is stored in the “bundled post type” of the post data A, and the process ends.

<A case where “bundled post types” is “user name” will be described. >
Processing for bundling SNS posting data by “user name” will be described below.

(How to bundle by pinch-in operation)
FIG. 9 shows the transition of the display screen when the bundling method is “user name” and post data is bundled by a pinch-in operation. FIG. 9A shows an example of a display screen before bundling post data, and FIG. 9B shows an example of a display screen after bundling post data. In FIG. 9, reference numerals 51 and 52 indicate positions where the user's finger is touching the touch panel 11 during the pinch-in operation. Here, since the Y coordinate of the code 51 is smaller than that of the code 52, the pinch-in coordinate (1) is determined from the touch position of the code 51, and the pinch-in coordinate (2) is determined from the touch position of the code 52. FIG. 9A shows that the pinch-in coordinate (1) is included in the “user name” and the pinch-in coordinate (2) is included in the fifth post data from the top.

  FIG. 9B shows the result of the pinch-in operation performed using the pinch-in coordinates (1) and (2) shown in FIG. Here, in order to show that the user name is bundled, an M graphic indicated by reference numeral 53 is displayed near the “user name”.
