  The present invention relates to an input device, an input method, and an input program.

  In recent years, when it is desired to input information during work, information may be input to an information processing apparatus or the like by a method different from a method of operating while visually recognizing a touch panel or a keyboard. For example, a method of performing an interaction between a mobile device and a screen having a plurality of Near Field Communication (NFC) tags is known. This method includes a step of receiving, from the gesture detection module, data generated according to the movement of the mobile device detected by the gesture detection module of the mobile device (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

  There is also known an input processing device that specifies input information corresponding to a combination of tag identification information and reading unit identification information and performs input processing on the input information. In this input processing device, when a user moves a finger on which the input instruction unit is mounted, the information reading unit of the input processing unit causes tag identification information transmitted by the IC tag of the input instruction unit approaching within a predetermined communicable area. Read. The information reading unit sends a set of the read tag identification information and its own reading unit identification information to the processing determination unit. The processing confirmation unit refers to the input information allocation table of the data storage unit and specifies input information corresponding to the combination of the tag identification information and the reading unit identification information (see, for example, Patent Document 2).

Further, there is known an apparatus for inputting information by a finger movement detected by a finger apparatus that detects a user's finger movement. In this apparatus, the information input may be an operation of clicking a selected character key. (For example, see Patent Document 3)
A voice-generating toy having a wireless tag unit equipped with a pressure-sensitive device, and a device that displays a plurality of other selection areas when one selection area is selected (see, for example, Patent Documents 4 to 5). ).

FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating an example of a functional configuration of the input device 1 according to the first embodiment. For example, the input device 1 reads identification information of a wireless tag from a wireless tag such as an NFC tag or a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag, and detects the confirmed information based on an input operation after reading the identification information. The input device 1 is a device that determines and outputs one character input code from a plurality of character input codes associated with a wireless tag based on identification information and confirmation information. The character input code is associated with a character, and is information used when the output unit 5 performs processing corresponding to the character, for example. The input device 1 is a device that a user can wear at least a part of. In addition, determining one character input code from a plurality of character input codes associated with a wireless tag may read a character input code from the wireless tag or read a character from the wireless tag. In addition, a character corresponding to the confirmed character input code may be referred to as a read character.

  As illustrated in FIG. 1, the input device 1 includes a detection unit 3, an output unit 5, and a mounting unit 7. For example, the detection unit 3 reads identification information from the wireless tag 9. In addition, the detection unit 3 detects confirmation information for confirming the character input code read from the wireless tag in combination with the identification information. The identification information is stored in the wireless tag 9 and is detected by wireless transmission / reception when the detection unit 3 approaches within a predetermined distance of the wireless tag 9. For example, the confirmation information is detected by the detection unit 3 after the identification information is read, for example, in a predetermined time, and is combined with the identification information that has already been read to determine the character input code read from the wireless tag. Information. The detection unit 3 may include, for example, a device that reads information stored inside the wireless tag, sensors that detect the movement of the detection unit 3 itself, a control device that controls them, and the like.

For example, the output unit 5 refers to the character determination table 12 and confirms the character input code associated with the identification information and the confirmation information as the character input code read from the wireless tag 9. When the character input code to be read is determined, the output unit 5 performs a predetermined process based on the determined character input code, and performs output. The output may be, for example, display of characters corresponding to the confirmed character input code, or output of corresponding speech. The output may include an output of the confirmed character input code.

The character input code associated with the wireless tag 9 is preferably associated with the identification information of the wireless tag 9 in the output unit 5. As a result, the identification information of the wireless tag 9 becomes information for limiting at least some characters that the user intends to input. Furthermore, the detection unit 3 outputs confirmation information as character input code read from the wireless tag, that is, information for confirming a character that the user intends to input.

  When the identification information is associated with a character input code of, for example, “A line” of 50 sounds, the display provided together with the wireless tag 9 may be “A”. For example, the identification information may be any information indicating 50 consonants (information indicating each “row” of 50 sounds) or any information indicating vowels. The confirmation information may be information indicating a vowel when the identification information is information indicating a consonant. When the identification information is information indicating a vowel, the confirmation information may be information indicating a consonant. Thereby, the combination of identification information and fixed information can be matched with any character input code of 50 sounds. The associated character input code is not limited to a character corresponding to a 50-sound character, and may be a number, a Roman character, a symbol, or the like.

  Further, for example, the detection unit 3 of the input device 1 is preferably capable of being worn and moved by the mounting unit 7 without being carried by the user. When the output unit 5 is not worn by the user together with the detection unit 3, for example, the output unit 5 may be connected to the detection unit 3 by radio.

  As described above, the input device 1 detects the input information by detecting the identification information of the wireless tag 9 and the confirmation information for confirming one from a plurality of character input codes associated with the wireless tag 9. Information corresponding to the character input code based on the operation can be output. The information to be output can be display, voice, or a confirmed character input code.

Similarly, other wireless tags of the tag board 60 are associated with characters such as “ka line” and “sa line”. At this time, it is preferable that the 50-sound character is associated with one of the wireless tags.

  Each wireless tag in the tag board 60 is embedded with an Integrated Circuit (IC) chip in which a tag ID is recorded. Each of these wireless tags, for example, when receiving a predetermined wireless signal transmitted through the antenna 22 by the tag reading device 32, is activated by using an induction current generated in the built-in antenna coil as an electromotive force. It is good also as a tag. At this time, each wireless tag of the tag board 60 outputs a wireless signal indicating information such as a tag ID stored therein.

That is, in this example, the movement state information indicates the movement direction of the finger gadget 20. As described above, in the finger gadget 20, the motion sensor 24 detects its own movement. The motion sensor 24 outputs a motion signal corresponding to the detected motion to the detection device 34 of the wrist gadget 30. In the detection device 34, for example, when tag information including a tag ID is input from the tag reading device 32, the movement of the finger gadget 20 may be calculated based on a signal from the motion sensor 24. The movement may be calculated by, for example, integrating movements within a predetermined time.

  As shown in FIG. 6, for example, when information indicating the movement direction 64 is detected after the tag ID corresponding to the wireless tag 62 is detected, an input of “yes” is indicated. Similarly, when the movement direction 65 is detected after the tag ID corresponding to the wireless tag 62 is detected, “Yes”, when the movement direction 66 is detected “E”, the movement direction 67 is changed. If it is detected, an input of “O” is shown. This correspondence is preferably stored in the character determination table 109.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an example of the character determination table 109 according to the second embodiment. As shown in FIG. 7, in the character determination table 109, 50 sounds are associated with combinations of tag IDs and movement directions. For example, in the case of tag ID = ID−K1, if the movement direction is not detected, “a” is the corresponding character. In the case of tag ID = ID-K1, “Yes” if the movement direction indicates an upward direction, “Yes” if it is in the right direction, “E” if it is in the downward direction, “O” if it is in the left direction. Is the corresponding character. For example, information registered in the character determination table 109 is, for example, a character input code corresponding to a character.

  Hereinafter, the input method in the input device 120 according to the second embodiment will be further described with reference to a flowchart. FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the operation of the information processing apparatus 100 in the input apparatus 120 according to the second embodiment. As illustrated in FIG. 8, the information processing apparatus 100 acquires a tag ID (S131). That is, the information processing apparatus 100 acquires the tag ID acquired when the finger gadget 20 approaches one of the wireless tags on the tag board 60 by receiving the tag ID via the list gadget 30.

  The information processing apparatus 100 determines whether a fingertip movement has been detected (S132). The fingertip motion is detected as a motion signal indicating the motion of the finger gadget 20, and is output from the wrist gadget 30 as motion information including motion state information indicating the motion. Whether or not a fingertip motion is detected is determined by whether or not motion information is detected.

  When the movement information indicating the fingertip movement is received from the list gadget 30 (S132: YES), the information processing apparatus 100 acquires the fingertip movement as the movement direction indicated by the movement information (S133). The movement direction is indicated by, for example, up, down, left, and right. At this time, the information processing apparatus 100 acquires the fingertip action from the motion information corresponding to the time stamp indicating the time within a predetermined time from the time indicated by the time stamp corresponding to the tag ID. That is, the information processing apparatus 100 determines that the tag information and the motion information are information combined with each other when the motion information is detected after the tag information and with a time difference within a predetermined time. It may be.

  The information processing apparatus 100 refers to the tag ID of the received tag information and the movement direction indicated by the movement state information of the movement information in the character determination table 109, and determines the corresponding character as a character to be read from the wireless tag (S134). ).

  When the fingertip movement is not detected in S132 (S132: NO), the information processing apparatus 100 determines whether it is timed out (S135). If not timed out (S135: NO), after waiting for a certain time (S136), the processing from S132 is performed. repeat. Note that the timeout refers to a state in which the elapsed time from the time when the process of S131 is performed is equal to or longer than a predetermined standby time. In the case of timeout (S135: YES), the information processing apparatus 100 acquires the character indicated by the tag ID acquired in S131 by using the character determination table 109 and determines it as a character to be read from the wireless tag (S137). In this example, the character indicated by the tag ID is, for example, the first character of each “line” of 50 sounds, but is not limited thereto.

  The information processing apparatus 100 displays the character determined in S134 or S137 on, for example, a display unit (not shown), reads out the corresponding data from the audio data 111, and outputs it to the earphone 117, for example, via the audio output apparatus 115 ( S138). The information processing apparatus 100 may output a character input code corresponding to the confirmed character. It is not always necessary to perform both display and audio output.

  As described above in detail, according to the input device 120 according to the present embodiment, the finger gadget 20 of the gadget 10 obtains a tag ID from one wireless tag among a plurality of wireless tags arranged on the tag board 60, for example. read. The read tag ID is received by the information processing apparatus 100 via the list gadget 30 together with a time stamp indicating the reading time. The finger gadget 20 detects its own movement and outputs a movement signal to the wrist gadget 30. For example, after the tag information is output from the tag reading device 32, the wrist gadget 30 calculates motion state information indicating the motion of the finger gadget 20 from the motion signal input from the finger gadget 20 and outputs the motion state information to the information processing device 100. . In the present embodiment, the movement state information is a movement direction indicating the movement (slide) direction of the finger gadget 20.

  The information processing apparatus 100 refers to the received tag ID and the movement direction indicating the fingertip movement in the character determination table 109 when the fingertip movement is detected before the timeout, and determines the corresponding character. The information processing apparatus 100 performs output according to the confirmed character. The output corresponding to the confirmed character may be performed by voice through the earphone 117, for example. Further, a character input code corresponding to the confirmed character may be output.

  In the above processing, the switch 26 may be pressed before reading the tag information from the wireless tag to notify the information processing apparatus 100 of the determination of the wireless tag for reading the tag ID. At this time, the switch 26 outputs a switch state signal indicating switch state information indicating that the switch is pressed (contacted). The list gadget 30 outputs switch information including switch state information and a time stamp indicating the received time to the information processing apparatus 100. At this time, the switch state information is an example of determination information indicating that an operation indicating determination of a wireless tag for reading the tag ID has been received. At this time, when the information processing apparatus 100 receives the switch state information, the information processing apparatus 100 starts reading the identification information of the wireless tag.

  As described above, according to the input device 120 according to the second embodiment, it is read from the wireless tag by the tag ID detected by the gadget 10 and the movement of the finger gadget 20 detected after the tag ID. The character (character input code) is confirmed. In other words, the character to be read from the wireless tag can be determined by reading the wireless tag and detecting the movement direction of a finger or a hand.

  At this time, for example, the tag board 60 can be affixed on the user's clothes. Therefore, there is no need to carry the wireless tag. The gadget 10 is worn on a user's finger or the like. Therefore, it is not necessary to hold the device in the hand and perform the input while visually recognizing, so to speak, it is possible to input characters in a hands-free or eyes-free manner. Therefore, the input device 120 is useful for efficiently performing character input during work such as, for example, a collection work or a delivery work in the distribution field or a scene where a medicine or a medical device is worked in the medical field.

  In the information processing apparatus 100, a sound corresponding to the character whose input is confirmed is output. Therefore, the user can confirm by voice whether or not the input has been performed correctly. At this time, the voice corresponding to the character determined as input can be output via the earphone 117. For this reason, the user can confirm whether or not the input has been performed correctly, for example, even in a noisy work environment. Thus, the input device 120 can improve the operability of character input by a wearable device.

  The effects as described above are the same as the effects of the input device 1 according to the first embodiment. In addition, the input device 120 can achieve the following effects. That is, the operation of the finger gadget 20 detected in the present embodiment is the same as the so-called flick input operation depending on the touch position and the slide direction of the finger. For this reason, for example, a user who always uses a multi-function mobile phone can input characters with a familiar operation. In the second embodiment, characters are input by the wearable input device 120 and the tag board 60, and the sound of the confirmed characters is output by the earphone 117. Therefore, in a field environment where there is a lot of noise where you have to rely on speech to check the character input, the recognition rate will decrease, which will increase the stress on the worker, and correct input will not be possible. It is possible to avoid it reliably.

  In the input device 120 according to the present embodiment, the switch 26 is not necessarily required.

(Third embodiment)
Hereinafter, an input method according to the third embodiment will be described. In the third embodiment, the same configurations and operations as those in the first or second embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description is omitted. The hardware configuration of the input device 120 according to the third embodiment is the same as that of the input device 120 according to the second embodiment. Similarly, the tag board 60 can be used. In the third embodiment, the memory 105 includes a character determination table 165 described later.

  In the third embodiment, the confirmation information is information indicating a toggle operation. The toggle operation is defined as, for example, an operation for returning the original position even if the finger is stroked downward and moved up again. The toggle motion is detected by the wrist gadget 30 based on a signal indicating the motion detected by the finger gadget 20, and is output as motion information. That is, in the present embodiment, the motion information includes motion state information indicating a toggle operation and a time stamp corresponding to the detected time.

  FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating an example of an input method according to the third embodiment. As shown in FIG. 9, the gadget 10 reads the tag ID of the wireless tag 62 and outputs it to the information processing apparatus 100 when the finger 52 is brought close to the wireless tag 62 of the tag board 60, for example. After the tag ID is read, as shown in the toggle status 150, it is determined which character of “A” indicated by the wireless tag 62 is to be read from the wireless tag 62 according to the number of toggle operations. The In the example of FIG. 9, in the character determination table 165 of the information processing apparatus 100, after the tag ID of the wireless tag 62 corresponding to the character “A line” has been read, ”And“ U ”in the second time.

  That is, after touching the wireless tag 62 indicating “A”, if the toggle operation is performed once, “I” is recognized, and if it is twice, “U” is recognized. While the repeated toggle operation is being performed, “A” to “O” are repeatedly selected. For example, a character is fixed when a predetermined time interval is left.

  In this example, the finger gadget 20 outputs a signal indicating the tag ID, and further outputs a motion signal indicating the movement of the finger gadget 20. The list gadget 30 sends the tag information including the tag ID read based on the signal indicating the tag ID from the finger gadget 20 and the movement information when the movement information indicating the toggle operation is detected to the information processing apparatus 100. Output. At this time, after receiving the tag information, the detection device 34 may output the motion information indicating the toggle operation to the information processing device 100 when the motion signal received from the motion sensor 24 indicates the toggle operation. Good.

  FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating an example of the character determination table 165 based on the tag ID and the toggle operation according to the third embodiment. As shown in FIG. 10, in the character determination table 165, the tag ID is associated with a character included in the same line of 50 sounds, and the number of toggles is associated with which vowel corresponds to the character. Yes. In the example of the character determination table 165, the number of toggles corresponding to the vowel “a” is a multiple of 5. For example, even if one round is taken from “a” to “o”, the next is again from “a” in order. Selectable.

  FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing the operation of the information processing apparatus 100 in the input apparatus 120 according to the third embodiment. As illustrated in FIG. 11, the information processing apparatus 100 acquires a tag ID (S171). As described above, the information processing apparatus 100 acquires the tag ID from the tag information output from the list gadget 30.

  The information processing apparatus 100 resets the toggle counter (S172). For example, the information processing apparatus 100 resets a variable for counting the number of toggles to “0”. The information processing apparatus 100 temporarily sets a character corresponding to the tag ID acquired in S171 (S173).

  The information processing apparatus 100 determines whether a toggle operation is detected (S174). For example, the information processing apparatus 100 determines whether or not motion information is output from the list gadget 30 or, if it is output, whether or not toggle information is included in the motion information. At this time, it is preferable to confirm that the tag information and the toggle information are combined from the time stamp of the tag information and the time stamp of the motion information. If toggle information is included, the information processing apparatus 100 determines that a toggle operation has been detected (S175), and advances the toggle counter (S175).

  The information processing apparatus 100 refers to the character determination table 165, for example, and temporarily sets a character according to the acquired tag ID and the number of toggles indicated by the toggle counter (S176). The information processing apparatus 100 reads out the voice data of the currently set character from the voice data 111 and outputs it through the voice output device 115 (S177). Further, the information processing apparatus 100 proceeds to S179 described later, waits for a predetermined time, and further repeats the process when a toggle operation is detected (S174: YES).

  When the toggle operation is not detected (S174: NO), the information processing apparatus 100 determines whether time-out has occurred (S178). When the time-out has not occurred (S178: NO), the information processing apparatus 100 waits for a predetermined time (S179), and returns to S174 to perform the process.

  If the time-out has occurred (S178: YES), the information processing apparatus 100 determines the currently temporarily set character (S180) and ends the process.

  As described above, in the input method according to the third embodiment, the character (character input code) to be read from the wireless tag is determined by the tag ID detected by the gadget 10 and the toggle operation of the finger gadget 20. In the present embodiment, the confirmation information is the number of toggle operations detected by the finger gadget 20. The input device 120 determines characters to be read from the wireless tag based on the tag ID and the number of toggle operations.

  According to the input method according to the third embodiment, in addition to the effects exhibited by the input device 1 according to the first embodiment, the following effects can be achieved. That is, in the input method according to the third embodiment, the toggle operation may be performed in any state after the finger gadget 20 is brought close to the wireless tag when reading the tag ID. That is, it does not necessarily have to be performed near the tag board 60. For example, when the tag board 60 is attached to the arm portion of the user's clothes, it is not necessary to keep the finger gadget 20 close to the tag board 60 during the toggle operation. Therefore, discomfort caused by maintaining an unnatural posture can be avoided.

  In the present embodiment also, an operation of determining a wireless tag to be read using the switch 26 can be added. When the switch 26 is not used, the switch 26 may not be included.

(Fourth embodiment)
The input method according to the fourth embodiment will be described below. In the fourth embodiment, the same configurations and operations as those in the first to third embodiments are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description is omitted. The hardware configuration of the input device 120 according to the fourth embodiment is the same as that of the input device 120 according to the second and third embodiments. In the fourth embodiment, a tag board 220 is used instead of the tag board 60. In the fourth embodiment, the memory 105 includes a character determination table 230 described later.

  In the fourth embodiment, the confirmation information is a tag ID read from a wireless tag different from the wireless tag read first. FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating an example of the configuration of the tag board 220 according to the fourth embodiment. As shown in FIG. 12, the tag board 220 is provided with the same tag arrangement as the tag board 60 in the center. Furthermore, twelve wireless tags are arranged outside. Each wireless tag stores a tag ID. In the tag board 220, all the characters of the 50 sounds are associated with any one of the wireless tags, and different wireless tags are arranged on the top, bottom, left, and right for each of the wireless tags associated with the characters. Yes.

  FIG. 13 is a diagram for explaining an input method according to the fourth embodiment. In the example of FIG. 13, four wireless tags 222 to 228 are arranged on the top, bottom, left, and right of the wireless tag 62. In this embodiment, a method of inputting characters according to a combination of two wireless tags adjacent to each other is employed. At this time, it is preferable to move the finger gadget 20 and read the tag IDs of the two wireless tags. However, it is preferable to use the switch 26 so that an unintended wireless tag is not read while the finger gadget 20 is moving. The switch 26 is preferably pressed (contacted) before reading the wireless tag to be read first. When the switch 26 is pressed, the switch 26 outputs a switch state signal indicating that the switch 26 is pressed (contacted) to the wrist gadget 30.

  In the example of FIG. 13, when “I” is input, the switch 26 of the finger gadget 20 is pressed. Subsequently, the finger gadget 20 is brought close to the wireless tag 62 and the tag ID of the wireless tag 62 is read. Further, the finger gadget 20 is brought close to the wireless tag 222, and the tag ID of the wireless tag 222 is read. The list gadget 30 outputs switch information and two pieces of tag information to the information processing apparatus 100. Based on the switch information and the two pieces of tag information, the information processing apparatus 100 refers to the character determination table 230 and determines the character to be read from the wireless tag.

  FIG. 14 is a diagram illustrating an example of the character determination table 230 according to the fourth embodiment. As shown in FIG. 14, in the character determination table 230, a character is associated with a combination of a tag ID_A of the first wireless tag read first and a tag ID_B of the second wireless tag read next. The tag ID of the first wireless tag may be referred to as a first tag ID. Similarly, the tag ID of the second wireless tag may be referred to as a second tag ID.

  For example, “A” corresponds to the case where the first tag ID is ID-K1 and the second tag ID is not read before timeout. For example, “I” corresponds to the case where the first tag ID is ID-K1 and the second tag ID is ID-L1. The same applies to other characters.

  Hereinafter, the input method in the input device 120 according to the fourth embodiment will be further described with reference to a flowchart. FIG. 15 is a flowchart illustrating the operation of the information processing apparatus 100 in the input device 120 according to the fourth embodiment. As illustrated in FIG. 15, if the information processing apparatus 100 does not detect switch information indicating that the switch 26 is pressed (contacted) (S241: NO), the information processing apparatus 100 waits for a predetermined time (S242), returns to S241, and repeats the processing. When the information processing apparatus 100 detects switch information indicating that the switch 26 is pressed (S241: YES), the information processing apparatus 100 acquires the first tag ID from the tag information of the first wireless tag (S243). That is, the information processing apparatus 100 receives the tag ID acquired when the finger gadget 20 approaches one of the wireless tags associated with the characters on the tag board 220 via the list gadget 30, and Acquired as a tag ID.

  Subsequently, the information processing apparatus 100 determines whether or not the tag ID of the next wireless tag is detected (S244). When the next tag information is detected (S244: YES), the information processing apparatus 100 acquires the next tag ID. For example, when the first wireless tag is the wireless tag 62 on the tag board 220, the information processing apparatus 100 acquires the second tag ID from the wireless tag adjacent to the wireless tag 62. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 acquires the tag ID of the wireless tag 222 illustrated in FIG. 13 as the second tag ID (S245).

  The information processing apparatus 100 refers to the received first tag ID and second tag ID in the character determination table 230 illustrated in FIG. 14 and determines the corresponding character as a character to be read from the wireless tag ( S246).

  If the tag ID of the next wireless tag is not detected in S244 (S244: NO), the information processing apparatus 100 determines whether it is timed out (S247). If it is not time-out (S247: NO), the information processing apparatus 100 waits for a certain time (S248), and then repeats the processing from S244. Note that the timeout refers to a state in which the elapsed time from the time when the process of S243 is performed is equal to or longer than a predetermined standby time. In the case of timeout (S247: YES), the information processing apparatus 100 acquires the character indicated by the first tag ID acquired in S243 by using the character determination table 230 and determines it as a character to be read from the wireless tag (S249).

  The information processing apparatus 100 displays the character confirmed in S246 or S249 on, for example, a display unit (not shown), reads the corresponding data from the audio data 111, and outputs the data to the earphone 117 via the audio output device 115, for example. (S250). The information processing apparatus 100 may output a character input code corresponding to the confirmed character.

  As described above, in the input method according to the fourth embodiment, the switch information, the first tag ID of the first wireless tag, and the second tag ID of the second wireless tag detected by the gadget 10 Thus, the character to be read from the wireless tag is determined. In the present embodiment, the confirmation information is the second tag ID of the second wireless tag. In the present embodiment, the character to be read is determined according to the result of reading two consecutive wireless tag IDs. At this time, the second wireless tag is arranged around the first wireless tag. Therefore, it can be said that reading the second tag ID from the second wireless tag detects the movement of the finger gadget 20. In addition, by pressing the switch 26 when reading the first wireless tag, erroneous recognition of the first wireless tag is prevented. As described above, the input device 120 determines and outputs characters to be read from the wireless tag.

  According to the input method according to the fourth embodiment, in addition to the effects exhibited by the input device 1 according to the first embodiment, the following effects can be achieved. In other words, since the tag ID of the second wireless tag is used as the confirmation information, there is no concern that the processing result will change due to individual differences in operation, for example. Further, by using the switch 26, it is possible to prevent erroneously detecting the tag ID read when not intended.

(Modification of the fourth embodiment)
Hereinafter, a modification of the input method according to the fourth embodiment will be described. This modification is a modification of the method of using the switch 26 in the fourth embodiment. In the present modification, the same configurations and operations as those in the first to fourth embodiments are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description is omitted. The hardware configuration of the input device 120 according to the present modification is the same as that of the input device 120 according to the second to fourth embodiments.

  FIG. 16 is a diagram for explaining an input method according to this modification. In the present modification, using the tag board 220 and the character determination table 230 is the same as the input method according to the fourth embodiment. As shown in the input state 240 of FIG. 16, in the present modification, after the depression (contact) of the switch 26 is detected as in the fourth embodiment, the first detected wireless tag is the first tag. Wireless tag. In addition, when pressing (contact) of the switch 26 is not detected, the wireless tag detected most recently is set as the second wireless tag. During this time, it is preferable that the switch 26 is kept pressed.

  In the example of FIG. 16, the wireless tag that is read only when the switch 26 is pressed is the wireless tag 62. Subsequently, the finger gadget 20 sequentially reads the wireless tag 224, the wireless tag 226, and the wireless tag 228. After reading the wireless tag 228, it is detected that the contact of the switch 26 is released. In this case, when the contact of the switch 26 is released, the wireless tag 228 that has been read most recently becomes the second wireless tag. Therefore, in the example of the input situation 240. “O” is acquired as a character to be read.

  Hereinafter, an input method in the input device 120 according to the modification of the fourth embodiment will be further described with reference to a flowchart. FIG. 17 is a flowchart illustrating the operation of the information processing apparatus 100 according to the modification of the fourth embodiment. As illustrated in FIG. 17, when the information processing apparatus 100 does not detect switch information indicating that the switch 26 is pressed (S251: NO), the information processing apparatus 100 waits for a predetermined time (S253) and returns to S251 to repeat the process. When the information processing apparatus 100 detects switch information indicating pressing (contact) of the switch 26 (S251: YES), the information processing apparatus 100 acquires the first tag ID from the tag information of the first wireless tag (S253). That is, the information processing apparatus 100 receives the tag ID acquired when the finger gadget 20 approaches one of the wireless tags associated with the characters on the tag board 220 via the list gadget 30, and Acquired as a tag ID. The information processing apparatus 100 refers to the character determination table 230 and acquires a character corresponding to the case where only the first tag ID is read (S254). The information processing apparatus 100 displays the acquired characters on, for example, a display unit (not shown), reads corresponding data from the audio data 111, and outputs the data to the earphone 117, for example, via the audio output device 115 (S255). ).

  Next, the information processing apparatus 100 determines whether or not the tag ID of the next wireless tag is detected (S256). If the tag ID of the next wireless tag is not acquired in S256 (S256: NO), the information processing apparatus 100 proceeds with the process to S259.

  When the tag ID of the next wireless tag is acquired (S256: YES), the information processing apparatus 100 includes the first tag ID and the tag ID of the next wireless tag (sometimes referred to as the next tag ID). The combination is referred to in the character determination table 230, and the corresponding character is acquired (S257).

  For example, when the first wireless tag is the wireless tag 62 on the tag board 220, the information processing apparatus 100 receives the tag ID of the wireless tag 222 shown in FIG. 13 as the next wireless tag. In this modification, it is assumed that switch information indicating that the switch 26 is being pressed is continuously received during this period. The information processing apparatus 100 acquires the detected tag ID.

  The information processing apparatus 100 refers to the combination of the received first tag ID and the next tag ID in the character determination table 230 illustrated in FIG. 14 and acquires the corresponding character as a character to be read from the wireless tag. (S257).

  The information processing apparatus 100 displays the characters acquired in S257 on, for example, a display unit (not shown), reads corresponding data from the audio data 111, and outputs the data to the earphone 117, for example, via the audio output apparatus 115 (S258). .

  The information processing apparatus 100 determines whether the switch is in the release state (S259). If the switch is not in the release state (S259: NO), the information processing apparatus 100 waits for a certain time (S261), returns to S256, and repeats the process. When the switch is in the released state (S259: YES), the information processing apparatus 100 determines the latest acquired character (S260). At this time, the information processing apparatus 100 may output a character input code corresponding to the confirmed character.

  As described above, in the input method according to the modification of the fourth embodiment, the wireless tag is based on the switch information, the tag ID of the first wireless tag, and the tag ID of the next wireless tag detected by the gadget 10. The character read from is confirmed. The input device 120 determines a character to be read from the wireless tag based on the two tag IDs read while the switch detects contact. That is, the character can be confirmed at the moment when the contact of the switch 26 is released. In the present modification, the confirmation information is information indicating the next tag ID and contact release of the switch 26.

  According to the input method according to the modification of the fourth embodiment, the following effects can be obtained in addition to the effects exhibited by the input device 120 according to the fourth embodiment. That is, while the switch is in a contact state, the reading process can be continued until a desired character is confirmed, so that more accurate input can be performed. In addition, by presenting the reading result in the middle of the voice at this time, when the acquired character is not the character to be input, the user can immediately correct it.

(Fifth embodiment)
The input method according to the fifth embodiment will be described below. In the fifth embodiment, the same reference numerals are given to the same configurations and operations as those in the first to fourth embodiments and the modifications thereof, and the duplicate description will be omitted. The hardware configuration of the input device 120 according to the fifth embodiment is the same as that of the input device 120 according to the second to fourth embodiments. In the fifth embodiment, a tag board 60 and finger tags 282 to 288 are used. Finger tags 282 to 288 are wireless tags attached to the fingers. In the fifth embodiment, the character determination table 230 may be used as in the fourth embodiment and its modifications. In the fifth embodiment, the confirmation information is any tag ID of the finger tag. The tag ID of the finger tag may be referred to as a finger tag ID.

  FIG. 18 is a diagram for explaining an input method according to the fifth embodiment. As shown in FIG. 18, in the fifth embodiment, the finger gadget 20 is provided on the first finger 51 of the hand 50. The finger tags 282 to 288 are attached to the second finger 52 to the fifth finger 55, respectively. At this time, first, the finger gadget 20 is brought close to one of the wireless tags on the tag board 60, whereby the first tag ID of the first wireless tag is read. In the example of FIG. 18, for example, the tag ID of the wireless tag 62 is read. Next, the second tag ID of the second wireless tag is read by bringing one of the second finger 52 to the fifth finger 55 close to the finger gadget 20. The information processing apparatus 100 refers to the read first tag ID and second tag ID in the character determination table 230 and determines the character.

FIG. 19 is a flowchart illustrating the operation of the information processing apparatus 100 in the input apparatus 120 according to the fifth embodiment. As illustrated in FIG. 19, the information processing apparatus 100 first acquires the first tag ID from the tag information of the first wireless tag (S301). That is, the information processing apparatus 100 receives and acquires the tag ID acquired when the finger gadget 20 approaches one of the wireless tags of the tag board 60 via the list gadget 30.

  Subsequently, the information processing apparatus 100 determines whether any finger tag ID of the finger tags 282 to 288 has been detected (S302). For example, when any finger tag is detected (S302: YES), the information processing device 100 acquires the tag ID of the detected finger tag (S303). The information processing apparatus 100 refers to the acquired first tag ID and finger tag ID in the character determination table 230 and determines a character corresponding to the combination (S304).

  When the finger tag ID is not detected in S302 (S302: NO), the information processing apparatus 100 determines whether it is timed out (S305). When it is not time-out (S305: NO), the information processing apparatus 100 waits for a certain time (S306), and then repeats the processing from S302. In the case of timeout (S305: YES), the information processing apparatus 100 acquires the character indicated by the first tag ID acquired in S301 by using the character determination table 230 and determines it as a character to be read from the wireless tag (S307).

  The information processing apparatus 100 displays the characters determined in S304 or S307 on, for example, a display unit (not shown), reads out the corresponding data from the audio data 111, and outputs it to the earphone 117, for example, via the audio output device 115 ( S308). The information processing apparatus 100 may output a character input code corresponding to the confirmed character.

  As described above, in the input method according to the fifth embodiment, characters read from the wireless tag based on the first tag ID of the first wireless tag and the finger tag ID of the finger tag detected by the gadget 10. Is confirmed. At this time, the finger gadget 20 is attached to the first finger for ease of operation. In the fifth embodiment, for example, a character is determined by touching the first wireless tag with the finger gadget 20 and reading a finger tag attached to each finger of the hand wearing the finger gadget 20. is there. For example, if the finger tag 222 is read so as to match the second finger and the finger gadget 20 after the wireless tag 62 indicating “A” is touched with the finger gadget 20, the information processing apparatus 100 determines that “Yes”. Is determined to have been selected.

  According to the input method according to the fifth embodiment, in addition to the effects exhibited by the input device 1 according to the first embodiment, the following effects can be achieved. In other words, since the finger tag ID is used as the confirmation information, there is no concern that the processing result will change due to individual differences in operation. In addition, there is a high possibility that an erroneous detection such as an unintended finger tag ID being read in the middle of an operation can be reduced.

  The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and various configurations or embodiments can be adopted without departing from the gist of the present invention. The processing procedure shown in the flowchart is not limited to the example shown. In the case where the same effect is obtained, the processing order can be changed and executed. Configuration examples of the input device 120, the tag board 60, the finger tags 282 to 288, and the like are not limited to the above.

  The finger gadget 20 and the wrist gadget 30 may be connected via wireless communication or may be integrally formed. When reading the tag ID with the finger gadget 20, the finger gadget 20 is brought close to the wireless tag. For example, the tag ID may be read by bringing the finger with the finger gadget 20 into contact with the wireless tag. When reading the finger tag, for example, the finger tag ID may be read by bringing the finger wearing the finger gadget 20 into contact with the finger to which the finger tag to be read is attached.

  The time stamp included in the tag information may be used for the detection device 34 to check the detection order of tag IDs and output the information to the information processing device 100 in the detection order. The arrangement and configuration of the tag board 60 and the tag board 220 are not limited to the above examples.
