Description

  The present invention relates to an electronic device.

  In recent years, in restaurants, pubs, karaoke stores and other stores that provide food and drinks, orders received by customers are input to an order terminal device called a handy terminal, and the entered orders are ordered from the order terminal device to an order management device. Has been proposed (for example, Patent Document 1). In the order terminal device, generally, a touch panel input unit is prepared on the main body side, and a plurality of keys on which a menu or the like can be input by a pressing operation are prepared on the lid side. Each menu is assigned to a plurality of keys that can be input by these pressing operations. The staff hears the order from the customer and presses the menu name key corresponding to the order to register the order menu.

JP 2009-59127 A

  As described above, in an order terminal device used in a restaurant, a plurality of keys that can be input by a pressing operation are prepared on the lid side. In restaurants, since it is desired that a large number of menus can be input with a small number of touches, the key on the lid side is an essential requirement. The assignment keys on the lid side are usually set to 4 to 5 rows horizontally and about 10 to 12 columns vertically, and 3 to 4 menus can be set for each assignment key. ing.

  A method for selecting a plurality of menus set to one assigned key by using function keys is known. For example, it is assumed that four menus of “potage soup”, “minestrone soup”, “onion soup”, and “clam chowder soup” are set in one assignment key. In this case, three function keys 2nd, 3rd, and 4th are prepared. If you press the menu button without pressing the function key, “Pottage soup” is selected. If you press the 2nd function key and then press the menu button, “Minestrone soup” is selected and the 3rd function key is pressed to select the menu. When the button is pressed, “onion soup” is selected, and when the 4th function key is pressed and the menu button is pressed, “clam chowder soup” is selected. However, as described above, in the method of switching with function keys, three function keys of 2nd, 3rd, and 4th are required, which causes a problem that the number of function keys increases.

  In addition, there is known a method of cyclically switching the number of times of pressing, such as a menu on the first line when pressed once and a menu on the second line when the same key is pressed continuously. In such a method, a plurality of function keys are unnecessary, but there is a problem that the number of touches increases. Also, if one more key is accidentally pressed, the key must be repeated from the beginning to return to the original state, resulting in a problem that the number of key operations increases. Such a problem may occur not only in the order input device. For example, an electronic device equipped with a function for selecting and inputting information to be input from a large amount of information, an electronic device having a small number of input parts such as an input button, an electronic device having a small area of an input part such as a touch panel, etc. Similar problems can occur.

  In view of the above-described problems, an object of the present invention is to provide an electronic apparatus that can easily select and input a plurality of input information assigned to one key without providing a plurality of function keys. .

  In view of the above-described problems, an electronic device according to one embodiment of the present invention includes an assignment key to which a plurality of pieces of input information can be assigned to one key, a shift key that can detect a pressing pressure level, and a press on the shift key. And a control unit that determines a shift level according to a pressure level and selects predetermined input information from a plurality of input information assigned to the assignment key.

  In the electronic device according to another aspect of the present invention, the control unit detects that the shift key has been pressed for a predetermined time or more and locks the shift level.

  According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided an electronic device according to an assignment key capable of assigning a plurality of input information to one key, a shift key capable of detecting a pressing pressure level, and a pressing pressure time applied to the shift key. And a control unit that determines a shift level and selects predetermined input information from a plurality of input information assigned to the assignment key.

  In the electronic device according to another aspect of the present invention, the control unit detects that the shift key is pressed with a pressure equal to or higher than a predetermined value, and locks the shift level.

  The electronic device according to another aspect of the present invention further includes a display unit, and the control unit determines the shift level and corresponds to the shift level from a plurality of input information allocated to the allocation key. The input information to be selected is selected and displayed on the display unit.

  In the electronic device according to another aspect of the present invention, the plurality of input information may be information related to menu information or information related to an operation.

  According to the present invention, by providing the shift key capable of detecting the pressing pressure level, it is possible to select and input predetermined input information from a plurality of input information assigned to the assignment key without using a plurality of function keys. In addition, since the operation can be performed with only one shift key, the number of key operations can be reduced, and the operation speed can be improved.

Depending on the pressing pressure of the shift key 135, the shift level of the assignment key 141 can be switched to a plurality of levels. The number and symbol key 136 is a key for inputting numbers and symbols.

  FIG. 6 shows the assignment key 141 of the lid 110. As shown in FIG. 6, for example, a plurality of membrane-type assignment keys 141 are arranged on the lid 110 side. A menu is assigned to the assignment key 141. In the present embodiment, up to four menus can be assigned to one assignment key 141. A plurality of menus assigned to the same assignment key 141 can be switched by the shift key 135 on the main body 111 side.

  Next, the operation of the assignment key 141 will be described. As shown in FIG. 6, up to four menus are assigned to the assignment key 141. Here, for example, the assignment key 141a in FIG. 6 will be described.

  FIG. 7 shows the display of the assignment key 141a. FIG. 8 shows a display of the shift level of the numeric keypad unit 122. As shown in FIG. 7, the assignment key 141a includes “potage soup” on the first line, “minestrone soup” on the second line, “onion soup” on the third line, and “clam chowder soup” on the fourth line. The menu is set. Here, if the shift level is the first line, “potage soup” is input when the assignment key 141a is pressed. If the shift level is the second line, “minestrone soup” is input when the assignment key 141a is pressed. If the shift level is the third line, “onion soup” is input when the assignment key 141a is pressed. If the shift level is on the fourth line, “clam chowder soup” is input when the assignment key 141a is pressed. In the present embodiment, the shift level transitions by detecting the pressing pressure of the shift key 135. Further, the set shift level is displayed on the numeric keypad 122 as shown in FIG.

  When the user is not touching the shift key 135, the shift level is in the first line. When the shift level is in the first row, the shift level is not displayed as shown in FIG. Here, when the user directly presses the assignment key 141a, the “potage soup” set in the first line is input.

  Next, when the user lightly touches the shift key 135, the shift level becomes the second line, and as shown in FIG. 8B, the character 151 of “2” meaning 2nd is displayed on the numeric keypad 122 in the transparent mode. Is displayed. At this timing, when the user presses the assignment key 141a, the “minestrone soup” set in the second line is input.

  When the user depresses the shift key 135 more strongly, the shift level becomes the third line, and as shown in FIG. 8C, the character 152 of “3” meaning 3rd is displayed in the transparent mode on the numeric keypad 122. The Here, when the assignment key 141a is pressed, “onion soup” on the third line is input.

  When the user depresses the shift key 135 more strongly, the shift level becomes the fourth line, and as shown in FIG. 8D, a character 153 of “4” meaning 4th is displayed in the transparent mode on the numeric keypad 122. The Here, when the user presses the assignment key 141a, “clam chowder soup” on the fourth line is input.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, when the pressure of the user pressing the shift key 135 is increased, the shift level is increased from 1st → 2nd → 3rd → 4th. Conversely, when the shift key 135 is released, the shift level is lowered from 4th → 3rd → 2nd → 1st. When a key other than the shift key is input, the shift mode is canceled and the first level is restored.

  Note that the shift level of the shift key 135 does not increase in order, and when the shift key 135 is pressed with a strong press, it is determined that the shift state is in accordance with the press level. Further, when the shift key 135 is touched for a certain time or longer, the shift mode is locked at the shift level when the finger is released. In this case, it is canceled by pressing the shift key 135 again. The current shift level can be determined at a glance by the user by the characters 151 to 153 of the numeric keypad 122. Further, as shown in FIG. 8E, the “2nd” character 155 indicating the current shift level may be displayed in the information display area 121 on the upper side of the display unit 105.

  In addition to the menu, the assignment key 141 can be assigned a function key for classification (menu group) and operation, and these can be selected by a shift operation in the same manner as the menu. For example, when a menu group is selected, a menu list of the group is displayed on the main body in a selectable manner.

(Step S219) The CPU 101 determines whether or not the shift key 135 is pressed for a predetermined time t3 or more. When determining that the pressing time of the shift key 135 is equal to or longer than the predetermined time t3 (step S219: Yes), the CPU 101 proceeds to the process of step S220. On the other hand, when determining that the pressing time of the shift key 135 is not equal to or longer than the predetermined time t3 (step S219: No), the CPU 101 returns to the process of step S210.
(Step S <b> 220) The CPU 101 clears the timer for measuring the time when the shift key 135 is pressed. Thereafter, the process returns to step S210.

  (Step S221) The CPU 101 determines whether or not the pressing pressure of the shift key 135 is equal to or higher than a predetermined pressure. If it is determined that the pressing pressure of the shift key 135 is equal to or greater than the predetermined value (step S221: Yes), the CPU 101 proceeds to the process of step S222. On the other hand, if it is determined that the pressing pressure of the shift key 135 is not equal to or greater than the predetermined value (step S221: No), the CPU 101 proceeds to the process of step S223.

(Step S222) The CPU 101 turns on the shift lock flag. Thereafter, the process returns to step S202.
(Step S223) The CPU 101 sets the shift level to the first line. Thereafter, the process returns to step S202.

  As described above, in the second embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of menus assigned to the assignment key 141 can be selected in accordance with the pressing time of the shift key 135. In the second embodiment of the present invention, the shift level is locked when the shift key 135 is pressed with a pressure equal to or higher than a predetermined value. Therefore, a plurality of shift levels can be set with one shift key 135. Further, when the shift state is entered by an erroneous operation, it is released simply by releasing the shift key 135, so that an operation error is unlikely to occur.

  In the first and second embodiments described above, the pressing strength of the shift key 135 on the main body 111 side is detected. However, the shift level can be changed depending on the pressing strength of the key on the lid 110 side. It is.
