Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable operation on a plurality of displayed selectable options without need to directly touch a display object representing the selectable options.SOLUTION: A display control device detects a touch to a specific area at a time of displaying a first item string, exerts a control to scroll the first item string in response to a touch move in a first direction that is an operation for moving while touching the specific area, and exerts a control to execute a predetermined process different from a process for scrolling the first item string in response to the touch move in a second direction different from the first direction. The specific area includes an area in which the first item string is not displayed and an image picked up by imaging means is displayed or an area in which a reproduced image is displayed. The display control device does not execute the predetermined process from start of scrolling in response to the touch move in the first direction until an operation for cancelling a touch state is carried out even if the direction of the touch move changes to the second direction.

Description

  The present invention relates to a display control device, a control method for the display control device, a program, and a storage medium.

  In recent years, digital devices that include a touch panel in an image display unit and that can be operated intuitively have appeared. In such a digital device, a device that executes a function assigned to a button icon by a touch operation on the button icon placed on a display screen constituted by a touch panel is generally used.

  In addition, a list of multiple options that can be selected by the user is displayed, the touched-on one is selected, the function represented by the selected option is executed, and the device is set to the setting represented by the selected option. It has been done. A plurality of choice areas displayed in a list are touched and dragged as they are to perform scrolling display and switch the choices displayed in the list of choices.

  However, if there are few choices as display objects displayed in a list on the touch panel, it is difficult to select the choices and their layers by directly touching the choices, leading to erroneous operations. On the other hand, in patent document 1, the area | region which responds to the touch of a touch button is made larger than it looks, and if there exists a touch operation in this area | region, the process allocated to the touch button will be performed. Further, a second touch reaction area is provided at a position different from the appearance of the touch button and displayed separately from the icon. When a predetermined touch operation is performed in this area, a process different from that performed when the icon is touched is executed.

JP 2009-211641 A

  As described above, if there are few choices as display objects displayed in a list on the touch panel, it is difficult to touch the choices directly to select an option or its hierarchy. It becomes a factor which causes an erroneous operation. However, if the display of options is enlarged in order to widen the area that responds to touch as in Patent Document 1, there are various inconveniences when images are displayed simultaneously in addition to the options displayed in a list. Arise. For example, the viewing area of the image is hindered, such as narrowing the display area of the image or superimposing options on the image.

In particular, when the touch panel is not large, such as in a small electronic device, the entire display area is not large, so that the number of choices that can be displayed is reduced at the same time as the choice display is enlarged, and the listability is impaired. There is a problem.
In view of the above-described problems, an object of the present invention is to enable operation of displayed options without directly touching a display object representing a plurality of selectable options.

  In the display control apparatus of the present invention, the display means controls the display means to display the first item string, the detection means for detecting a touch on the display means, and the first item string is displayed. When a touch move that is an operation of moving while touching is detected in a first direction, the first item row is scrolled in response to the touch move being performed in the first direction. And controlling to execute a predetermined process different from the process of scrolling the first item row in response to the touch move being performed in a second direction different from the first direction. And the specific area is an area in which the first item sequence is not displayed, and is an area in which an image captured by the imaging means is displayed or a reproduced image. The area displaying The direction of the touch move is changed to the second direction from the start of scrolling according to the touch move in the first direction until the operation for releasing the touched state is performed. Also, the predetermined processing is not executed.

  According to the present invention, since the selection operation can be performed by utilizing the area other than the display object, even if the display object of the displayed option is small, the item string indicating the plurality of options can be reliably operated. it can.

The operation unit 104 is an operation unit including operation members such as various switches, buttons, and a touch panel that receive various operations from the user. The controller wheel 111 is a rotatable operation member included in the operation unit 104. A power switch 102 switches between power on and power off. The recording medium 108 is a recording medium such as a memory card or a hard disk. The recording medium slot 109 is a slot for storing the recording medium 108. The recording medium 108 stored in the recording medium slot 109 can communicate with the digital camera 120. A lid 110 is a lid of the recording medium slot 109.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration example of the digital camera 120 according to the present embodiment.
In FIG. 2, the taking lens 203 includes a focus lens. The shutter 204 has an aperture function. The imaging unit 205 includes a CCD, a CMOS element, or the like that converts an optical image into an electrical signal. The A / D converter 206 is for converting an analog signal into a digital signal, and is used for converting the analog signal output from the imaging unit 205 into a digital signal. The barrier 202 covers the imaging unit including the imaging lens 203 of the digital camera 120, thereby preventing the imaging system including the imaging lens 203, the shutter 204, and the imaging unit 205 from becoming dirty or damaged.

  The image processing unit 207 performs resizing processing and color conversion processing such as predetermined pixel interpolation and reduction on the data from the A / D converter 206 or the data from the memory control unit 208. The image processing unit 207 performs predetermined calculation processing using the captured image data, and the system control unit 223 performs exposure control and distance measurement control based on the obtained calculation result. Thereby, AF (autofocus) processing, AE (automatic exposure) processing, and EF (flash pre-emission) processing of the TTL (through-the-lens) method are performed. The image processing unit 207 further performs predetermined calculation processing using the captured image data, and also performs TTL AWB (auto white balance) processing based on the obtained calculation result.

  Output data from the A / D converter 206 is directly written into the memory 210 via the image processing unit 207 and the memory control unit 208 or via the memory control unit 208. The memory 210 stores image data obtained by the imaging unit 205 and converted into digital data by the A / D converter 206 and image data to be displayed on the image display unit 201. The memory 210 has a storage capacity sufficient to store a predetermined number of still images, a moving image and audio for a predetermined time.

  The memory 210 also serves as an image display memory (video memory). The D / A converter 209 converts the image display data stored in the memory 210 into an analog signal and supplies the analog signal to the image display unit 201. Thus, the display image data written in the memory 210 is displayed by the image display unit 201 via the D / A converter 209. The image display unit 201 performs display according to an analog signal from the D / A converter 209 on a display such as an LCD.

The nonvolatile memory 218 is an electrically erasable / recordable memory, and for example, an EEPROM or the like is used. The nonvolatile memory 218 stores constants, programs, and the like for the operation of the system control unit 223. Here, the program is a program for executing various flowcharts described later in the present embodiment.
The system control unit 223 controls the entire digital camera 120. By executing the program recorded in the non-volatile memory 218 described above, each process of the present embodiment to be described later is realized.

  A RAM is used as the system memory 219, and constants and variables for operation of the system control unit 223, a program read from the nonvolatile memory 218, and the like are expanded. The system control unit 223 also performs display control by controlling the memory 210, the D / A converter 209, the image display unit 201, and the like. The mode switch 214, the first shutter switch 212, the second shutter switch 213, and the operation unit 211 are operation means for inputting various operation instructions to the system control unit 223.

  The mode switch 214 switches the operation mode of the system control unit 223 to any one of a still image recording mode, a moving image recording mode, a reproduction mode, and the like. The first shutter switch 212 is turned on when the shutter button 103 provided in the digital camera 120 is being operated, so-called half-press (shooting preparation instruction), and generates a first shutter switch signal SW1. In response to the first shutter switch signal SW1, operations such as AF (autofocus) processing, AE (automatic exposure) processing, AWB (auto white balance) processing, and EF (flash pre-emission) processing are started.

  The second shutter switch 213 is turned on when the operation of the shutter button 103 is completed, so-called full press (shooting instruction), and a second shutter switch signal SW2 is generated. In response to the second shutter switch signal SW2, the system control unit 223 starts a series of shooting processing operations from reading a signal from the imaging unit 205 to writing image data on the recording medium 221.

  Each operation member of the operation unit 211 is appropriately assigned a function for each scene by selecting and operating various function icons displayed on the image display unit 201, and functions as various function buttons. Examples of the function buttons include an end button, a return button, an image advance button, a jump button, a narrowing button, and an attribute change button. For example, when a menu button is pressed, various settable menu screens are displayed on the image display unit 201. The user can make various settings intuitively using the menu screen displayed on the image display unit 201, the four-way button, and the SET button.

  The controller wheel 111 is a rotatable operation member included in the operation unit 211, and is used when a selection item is designated together with a direction button. When the controller wheel 111 is rotated, an electrical pulse signal is generated according to the operation amount, and the system control unit 223 controls each part of the digital camera 120 based on the pulse signal. From this pulse signal, it is possible to determine the angle at which the controller wheel 111 is rotated, how many rotations, and the like. The controller wheel 111 may be any operation member that can detect a rotation operation. For example, it may be a dial operation member that generates a pulse signal by rotating the controller wheel 111 itself according to a user's rotation operation. Further, an operation member made of a touch sensor may detect the rotation operation of the user's finger on the controller wheel 111 without rotating the controller wheel 111 itself (so-called touch wheel).

  The power control unit 216 includes a battery detection circuit, a DC-DC converter, a switch circuit that switches a block to be energized, and the like, and detects whether or not a battery is attached, the type of battery, and the remaining battery level. Further, the power control unit 216 controls the DC-DC converter based on the detection result and an instruction from the system control unit 223, and supplies a necessary voltage to each unit including the recording medium 108 for a necessary period.

  Reference numeral 217 denotes a power supply unit, which includes a primary battery such as an alkaline battery or a lithium battery, a secondary battery such as a NiCd battery, a NiMH battery, or a Li battery, an AC adapter, or the like. Reference numeral 220 denotes an interface (I / F) with a recording medium 221 such as a memory card or a hard disk. The recording medium 221 is a recording medium such as a memory card, and includes a semiconductor memory or a magnetic disk. As one of the operation units 211, a touch panel capable of detecting contact with the image display unit 201 is provided.

The system control unit 223 can detect the following operations on the touch panel.
Touching the touch panel with a finger or a pen (hereinafter referred to as touchdown). The touch panel is touched with a finger or a pen (hereinafter referred to as touch-on). The touch panel is moved while being touched with a finger or a pen (hereinafter referred to as a move). The finger or pen that was touching the touch panel is released (hereinafter referred to as touch-up). A state where nothing is touched on the touch panel (hereinafter referred to as touch-off). These operations and the coordinates of the position where the finger or pen touches the touch panel are notified to the system control unit 223 through the internal bus 222, and the system control unit 223 performs any operation on the touch panel based on the notified information. Determine if it was done.

  Regarding the move, the moving direction of the finger or pen moving on the touch panel can also be determined for each vertical component / horizontal component on the touch panel based on the change in position coordinates. Further, it is assumed that a stroke is drawn when touch-up is performed on the touch panel through a certain move from touch-down. The operation of drawing a stroke quickly is called a flick. A flick is an operation of quickly moving a certain distance while touching a finger on the touch panel and then releasing it, in other words, an operation of quickly tracing a finger on the touch panel. If it is detected that the moving is performed at a predetermined speed or more over a predetermined distance, and a touch-up is detected as it is, it can be determined that a flick has been performed. In addition, when it is detected that a move has been performed at a predetermined distance or more and less than a predetermined speed, it is determined that a move operation (drag operation) has been performed.

Next, a specific operation example of the digital camera 120 according to the present embodiment will be described.
FIG. 5 shows a display example of a shooting standby screen displayed on the image display unit 201 during shooting standby. On the shooting standby screen, GUI operation members such as button icons to which a function for performing shooting settings and the like are assigned are displayed over the image 501. An image 501 is an imaging unit 205.
3 is a through image (live view image) in which images taken in step S1 are sequentially displayed in real time. In this example, the shooting standby screen is displayed. However, in the case of the playback mode instead, the image 501 is a playback image that is read from the recording medium and played back. The button icon 502 is one of a plurality of displayed button icons. When touched down, the button icon 502 is changed to the Func mode, and a display screen as shown in FIG. 6 is obtained.

  FIGS. 6A and 6B show display examples in the Func mode. The func mode is a mode for performing various settings of the digital camera 120, and is a mode for selecting an item desired by the user from a plurality of selection items and setting a function related to the item. An item column 601 in FIG. 6 is an item column in which a plurality of icons representing various setting items are arranged.

  The user scrolls the item column 601 vertically by a move operation (drag operation) with a finger or a pen, and moves the item whose setting is to be changed to the center focus position 603, so that a desired item can be selected from the items arranged in the item column 601. It is possible to select items. A desired item can also be selected by touching down a desired icon from icons arranged in the item column 601 and touching up at the same icon position without performing a move operation. In this case, the icon of the selected item is automatically scrolled and moved to the center focus position 603 after touch-up. The selected item is displayed at the center focus position 603 in a display form that is more emphasized than the other items. The item column 601 can be scrolled in a state where the item column 601 is selected from the item column 601 and the item column 602. FIG. 6A shows a state where the item string 601 is selected. Compared to the item column 602, the selected item column 601 is highlighted.

  The item column 602 is an item column in which a plurality of icons representing candidate setting values in the item selected in the item column 601 are arranged. The user scrolls the item column 602 vertically by a move operation, and moves the icon of the setting value to be set to the center focus position 603, thereby setting the setting value candidate from the setting value candidates arranged in the item column 602 to a desired setting value. It is possible. A desired item can also be selected by touching down a desired icon from the icons arranged in the item column 602 and touching up at the same icon position without moving. In this case, the icon of the selected item is automatically scrolled and moved to the center focus position 603 after touch-up.

  The item column 602 can be scrolled with the item column 602 selected from the item column 601 and the item column 602. FIG. 6B shows a state where the item column 602 is selected. Compared to the item column 601, the selected item column 602 is highlighted.

  For example, in the examples of FIGS. 6A and 6B, since an icon representing ISO sensitivity is selected as an item whose setting is to be changed in the item column 601, the item column 602 can be set with respect to ISO sensitivity. Icons representing various setting value candidates are arranged. In FIG. 6B, the AUTO icon is selected from the setting value candidate icons that can be set for the ISO sensitivity arranged in the item column 602. If it is determined in this state, ISO auto is set, and the ISO sensitivity at the time of shooting is set to be automatically determined by the digital camera 120. A touch button 604 is a touch button for confirming with the setting value selected in the item column 602 or a touch button for instructing to return to the shooting standby screen after exiting the Func mode, and is displayed superimposed on the image 501. Is done.

  The item column 601 and the item column 602 have a hierarchical relationship, and the item column 601 is a selection candidate column in a higher hierarchy than the item column 602. Hereinafter, the item column 601 is referred to as the first column, and the item column 602 is referred to as the second column. In addition, the currently selected item column in the first column and the second column is referred to as a selected column. Further, for each of the first and second columns, an item displayed and selected at the center focus position 603 is referred to as a Func mode selection item.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the procedure of Func mode processing in the present embodiment. This process is realized by the system control unit 223 expanding and executing the program recorded in the nonvolatile memory 218 in the system memory 219.
When the button icon 502 is touched down on the shooting standby screen as shown in FIG. 5, the Func mode process of FIG. 3 is started. When the Func mode process is started, first, in S301, a Func mode screen in which the first column described in FIG. 6A is selected is displayed.

In S302, it is determined whether or not the screen is touched on. If the screen is touched on, the process proceeds to S303. If it is not touched on, the process proceeds to S309.
In S309, when the Func mode end condition is satisfied, such as when no operation is performed after the start of the Func mode and a time-out occurs after a predetermined time, or the Func mode is instructed by operating the touch button 604 or the like, The process proceeds to S310 and the Func mode is terminated. If the Func mode end condition is not satisfied, the process returns to S302 to detect whether the touch-on is performed again.

In S303, the point touched on when the screen is touched on is determined, and it is determined whether or not the touched point is within a specific area wider than the area displaying the item string (first determination). processing). Specifically, if the touched-down area is a part other than the item column 601 (first column), the item column 602 (second column), and the touch button 604, it is determined as a Func mode scrollable region and the process proceeds to S304. . If it is not a scrollable area, the process proceeds to S311.
In S311, it is determined whether or not any of the touch buttons 604 is touched on. If touched on, the process corresponding to the touched button is activated, and the process proceeds to S312. , Return to S303.

In S304, a move amount determination is performed to determine whether or not the distance moved while the touch is on is greater than or equal to a predetermined amount. As a result of this determination, if the moved distance is greater than or equal to the predetermined amount, the process proceeds to S313 if it is scrolled. If it is not determined that the scroll is less than the predetermined amount, the process proceeds to S305. This is a determination of whether or not a move has been performed.
In S305, it is determined whether or not touch-off has occurred (that is, whether or not touch-up has been performed). If touch-off has occurred, the process proceeds to S306, and if not touch-off, the process returns to S304.

  In S306, it is determined whether or not the touched-up position is the position of the icon displayed in either the item column 601 or the item column 602. If it is not on any item row, the process returns to S302. If it is touched up with an icon on any item row, the process proceeds to S307. In S307, the selected column is scrolled, and the icon at the touched-up position is moved to the center focus position 603.

  In step S308, the function indicated by the icon moved to the center focus position 603 is executed. If the icon moved to the center focus position 603 is in the first column, the icon displayed in the second column is included in the lower hierarchy of the icon moved to the center focus position 603 in the first column. This is the process of switching to icon county. If the icon moved to the center focus position 603 is in the second column, the setting is changed to the setting value represented by the icon.

In S313, it is determined whether the moved axis is up and down (Y-axis direction (first direction)) or left and right (X-axis direction) (move direction determination process). Here, looking at the amount of change in the touch position due to the move, if the amount of change in the X component is greater than the amount of change in the Y component, lateral movement in the left-right direction will be performed. It is determined that the vertical movement is. If it is determined that the vertical movement is vertical, the process proceeds to S314 and the item is selected. If it is determined that the horizontal movement is left or right, the process proceeds to S320, and a hierarchy selection process is performed (item string control process). Details of the hierarchy selection processing in S320 will be described later with reference to FIG. If a hierarchy selection process is performed, it will progress to S312 and will be in an item selection state.
In S314, it is determined whether or not the selected column is the first column (second determination process). If it is the first row, the process proceeds to S315. If it is not the first row, the second row is assumed, and the flow proceeds to S317.

  In S315, the first row is scrolled by an amount corresponding to the movement amount of the move (item control process). Thereafter, the process proceeds to S316. In S316, it is determined whether or not touch-off is performed. If touch-off is performed, the process proceeds to S319. If the touch-off is not performed, the process proceeds to S315 again, and the vertical scroll by the move in the first row is continued.

  In S317, the second row is scrolled by an amount corresponding to the movement amount of the move. Thereafter, the process proceeds to S318. In S318, it is determined whether or not touch-off is performed. If touch-off is performed, the process proceeds to S319. If the touch-off is not performed, the process proceeds to S317 again, and the vertical scroll by the move in the second row is continued.

  In S319, the function indicated by the icon moved to the center focus position 603 as a result of scrolling by the touch operation is executed. If the icon moved to the center focus position 603 is in the first column, the icon displayed in the second column is changed to the icon group included in the lower hierarchy of the icon moved to the center focus position 603 in the first column. It is a process of switching. If the icon moved to the center focus position 603 is in the second column, the setting is changed to the setting value represented by the icon.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing details of the hierarchy selection process in S320 of FIG. This process is realized by the system control unit 223 expanding and executing the program recorded in the nonvolatile memory 218 in the system memory 219.
First, in S401, it is determined whether the selected column is the first column. If it is the first column, the process proceeds to S402, and if it is not the first column, the second column is assumed, and the process proceeds to S407. In the present embodiment, the hierarchy is arranged in the first and second rows from the left, so when the direction of the move operation is right, the hierarchy is changed from the first row to the second row, and in the left case, the second row Change the hierarchy from the first to the first column. If the hierarchy is reversed, the direction of the move operation is reversed.

In S402, it is determined whether or not the moving distance to the right side (X axis) is a predetermined distance or more. If the distance is equal to or longer than the predetermined distance, it is assumed that there is a sufficient rightward move operation, and the process proceeds to S403. If the distance is equal to or shorter than the predetermined distance, the move operation is not performed and the process returns to S401.
In S403, the selected column is moved to the second column on the assumption that the hierarchy changing operation has been performed. Thereafter, the process proceeds to S404.
In S407, it is determined whether or not the moving distance to the left side (X axis) is a predetermined distance or more. If the distance is equal to or longer than the predetermined distance, it is assumed that there has been a sufficient leftward move operation, and the process proceeds to S408. If the distance is equal to or shorter than the predetermined distance, the move operation is not performed and the process returns to S401. In S408, the selected column is moved to the first column on the assumption that the hierarchy changing operation has been performed. Thereafter, the process proceeds to S404.

In S404, it is determined whether or not the absolute movement distance in the Y-axis direction is equal to or greater than a predetermined distance. If it is determined that the absolute movement distance in the Y-axis direction is equal to or greater than the predetermined distance, the hierarchy selection process is terminated, and the process proceeds to S312 in FIG. Here, since the hierarchy selection is performed in accordance with the move in the left-right direction, it is determined that the operation of the hierarchy selection is considered to be finished when the absolute movement distance in the vertical direction, that is, the Y-axis direction is equal to or greater than a predetermined distance. Yes. The item selection state does not change to the hierarchy selection state until the touch-off state is entered once. This is because the user selects the item more frequently than the hierarchy selection operation, so that the user can easily enter the operation with the higher operation frequency. If it is determined in S404 that the absolute movement distance in the Y-axis direction is equal to or less than the predetermined distance, the process proceeds to S405.

In S405, it is determined whether or not touch-off has been performed. If touch-off has been performed, it is determined that the hierarchy selection has been completed and the process proceeds to S406. If it is not touched off, the hierarchy selection is still made and the process returns to S401 to continue the hierarchy selection state.
In S406, the function indicated by the icon moved to the center focus position 603 as a result of scrolling by the touch operation is executed. This process is the same as the process of S319 in FIG. Thereafter, the process proceeds to S309 in FIG.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, in the display control device for a digital camera equipped with a touch panel, even if the displayed operation member is small, an area other than the appearance is used. As a result, a plurality of item strings can be reliably operated, and the size of the operation member may be the minimum necessary, so that it does not interfere with image browsing.

  In addition, the item selection (horizontal scroll) after the item selection (vertical scroll) with touch-on is prohibited unless it is touched up once, so that the operation target is frequently switched when an oblique move occurs, resulting in an erroneous operation. Can be prevented. Furthermore, by permitting item selection after item column selection with touch-on, natural operations can be performed by increasing the number of frequently used item selection situations.

  In the above-described embodiment, the control of the system control unit may be performed by one piece of hardware, or the entire apparatus may be controlled by a plurality of pieces of hardware sharing the processing. Although the present invention has been described in detail based on the preferred embodiments thereof, the present invention is not limited to these specific embodiments, and various forms without departing from the gist of the present invention are also included in the present invention. included. Furthermore, each embodiment mentioned above shows only one embodiment of this invention, and it is also possible to combine each embodiment suitably.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the case where the present invention is applied to a digital camera has been described as an example, but this is not limited to this example. That is, the present invention can be applied to a personal computer, a PDA, a mobile phone terminal, a portable image viewer, a display for selecting and confirming a print image provided in a printer, a digital photo frame, and the like. That is, any display control apparatus that can browse images using a touch panel is applicable.
