  FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the display 3 on which the home screen 101 is displayed.

  In the mobile phone 1, various screens are displayed on the display 3, and various touch operations are performed by the user on the screen. For example, the home screen 101 is displayed on the display 3 as an initial screen. As shown in FIG. 3, the home screen 101 includes an activation icon 101a for activating various applications. The startup icon 101a includes, for example, a phone icon 101b, a mail icon 101c, a phone book icon 101d, a browser icon 101e, and the like.

  In addition to the home screen 101, a notification bar 102 and an operation key group 103 are displayed on the display 3. The notification bar 102 is displayed above the home screen 101 displayed on the display 3. The notification bar 102 includes a current time, a remaining amount meter indicating the remaining battery level, an intensity meter indicating the intensity of the radio wave, and the like.

The setting key 103a is a key mainly for causing the display 3 to display a setting screen for performing various settings. The home key 103 b is a key for mainly shifting the display 3 on the display 3 from another screen to the home screen 101. The back key 103c is a key for returning the executed process to the process one step before.

  When using various applications, the user performs a tap operation on the activation icon 101a corresponding to the application to be used. The application is activated and an execution screen based on the application is displayed. Note that the notification bar 102 continues to be displayed on the display 3 even if the execution screen of the executed application is displayed or the execution screen changes as the application progresses.

  Now, the operation on the display 3 by the user is usually performed with a finger in many cases, but in a cold season, the operation may be performed with a finger wearing a glove. However, when selectable objects are densely arranged on the screen displayed on the display 3 and a fine operation is required for the selection of the object, the user performs the selection operation as desired while wearing the glove. Is difficult.

  For example, when a phone book application is activated by a tap operation on the phone book icon 101d, and an operation for registering contact information is performed on the initial screen of the phone book application, for example, as shown in FIG. The information registration screen 104 is displayed on the display 3. The information registration screen 104 includes a cancel button 104b, a save button 104c, a keyboard 104d, and the like in addition to an edit box 104a for inputting contact information. Here, on the information registration screen 104, a plurality of editing boxes 104a are arranged in a relatively dense state. Selection of the edit box 104a to be input is performed by a touch operation on the edit box 104a. As described above, when the touch operation is performed while wearing a glove, the desired edit box 104a can be touched well. It is easy to touch the position outside the edit box 104a and the adjacent edit box 104a. After the touch operation is performed, in the selected edit box 104a, a display such that a cursor is displayed, for example, can be identified. If the user knows that the selection has failed by not displaying the identification in the desired edit box 104a, the user must repeat the touch operation until the desired edit box 104a is correctly selected. Note that the keys of the keyboard 104d are also arranged in a relatively dense state, and it is difficult to accurately touch a desired key while wearing the glove. However, in the touch operation on the keyboard 104d, as shown in FIG. 4B, when the key is touched during the touch operation, the touched key is displayed by the enlarged display of the touched key. The key is notified. For this reason, since the user can touch a desired key by moving his / her finger, unlike the edit box 104a, the touch operation is rarely repeated by an erroneous touch operation.

  Further, for example, when a web browser application is activated by a tap operation on the browser icon 101e, a web screen 105 as shown in FIG. On the web screen 105, a hyperlink may be set to a specific character string or photo in the displayed document. An image 105a such as a character string or a photo (hereinafter referred to as “link image 105a”) to which a hyperlink is set may be arranged in a relatively dense state in the document. In such a web screen 105, when a touch operation is performed while wearing a glove, it is likely that the desired link image 105a cannot be successfully touched as in the case of the edit box 104a described above. When a touch operation is performed on another link image 105a, the screen is shifted to an incorrect link destination screen, so that it is necessary to return the screen and perform the touch operation again. It becomes a troublesome situation.

  Therefore, in the mobile phone 1 of the present embodiment, a screen (information registration screen 104, web screen 105) including a plurality of objects to be selected such as a plurality of edit boxes 104a and a plurality of link images 105a is displayed on the display 3. When displayed, the control unit 11 executes a control process for easily selecting a desired object even when the glove is worn, that is, a glove corresponding control process.

<Example 1>
In the present embodiment, the glove correspondence control process is applied to the phone book application.

  5 and 6 are flowcharts showing contact information registration processing for registering contact information included in the phone book application. FIGS. 7A and 7B are diagrams showing the information registration screen 104 in a state where the input edit box 104a1 and the selection edit box 104a2 are selected by a tap operation, respectively. FIGS. 8A, 8B, and 8C show an information registration screen 104 in a state where the selection area 106 is overlaid, and a state in which the first edit box 104a is selected by a slide operation in the selection area 106, respectively. FIG. 10 is a diagram showing the information registration screen 104 and the information registration screen 104 in a state in which the display contents of the selection edit box 104a2 are changed by a tap operation in the selection area 106. FIG. 9 is a diagram showing a state in which the edit boxes 104a are sequentially selected by repeating the slide operation in the selection area 106. FIG.

  When an operation for registering contact information is further performed after the application of the telephone book is activated, the control unit 11 executes a contact information registration process. The processes of steps S110 to S112 and steps S115 to S122 of the contact information registration process shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 correspond to the above-described glove correspondence control process.

  The control unit 11 displays the information registration screen 104 on the display 3 (S101). The information registration screen 104 is as described with reference to FIG.

  The control unit 11 monitors whether or not a touch operation on the display 3 has been performed (S102). When the touch operation is performed (S102: YES), the control unit 11 determines whether the touch operation is a tap operation on the edit box 104a, whether the touch operation is on the save button 104c, and a cancel button. It is determined whether or not the tap operation is performed on 104b (S103, S104, S105).

  The edit box 104a includes an input edit box 104a1 in which information is input by typing characters or the like using the keyboard 104d, and a selection edit box 104a2 in which information is input by selection from a plurality of candidates prepared in advance. Including.

  When the tap operation is performed on the edit box 104a (S103: YES), the control unit 11 determines whether the target of the tap operation is the input edit box 104a1 or the selection edit box 104a2. (S106). When the tap operation is performed on the input edit box 104a1 (S106: input), the control unit 11 sets the input edit box 104a1 as the input edit box 104a (S107). Then, as shown in FIG. 7A, the control unit 11 displays a cursor in the edit box 104a1 for input and illuminates the input edit box 104a1 with a predetermined color. Highlight display is performed (S108). On the other hand, when the tap operation is performed on the selection edit box 104a2 (S106: for selection), the control unit 11 switches the display content of the selection edit box 104a2 (S109). For example, as shown in FIG. 7B, when the selection edit box 104a2 is for inputting the type of phone, every time a tap operation is performed on the selection edit box 104a2, “ Display contents are sequentially switched among “mobile”, “home”, and “company”.

  In this way, if a tap operation on the edit box 104a is detected, the processing from step S106 to step S109 is performed, and the edit box 104a is based on the tap operation on the edit box 104a regardless of whether or not a glove is worn. Is selected.

  When the touch operation detected in step S102 is neither a tap operation on the edit box 104a, a tap operation on the save button 104c, or a tap operation on the cancel button 104b (S103: NO → S104: NO → S105: NO), for example In the case of a tap operation to a position other than the edit box 104 a, the save button 104 c and the cancel button 104 b, or a flick operation or a slide operation to an arbitrary position on the information registration screen 104, the control unit 11 displays a selection area 106 on the display 3. Whether or not is displayed is determined (S110).

  If the selection area 106 is not displayed (S110: NO), the control unit 11 determines whether or not the touch operation detected in step S102 is a touch operation while wearing a glove (S111).

  When the glove touches the touch panel 4, the amount of change in capacitance is smaller than when the finger touches the touch panel 4 directly. Since the amount of change in capacitance is maximized when a finger or glove touches the touch panel 4, for example, the control unit 11 detects the maximum value of the amount of change in capacitance during the touch operation, and the maximum When the value is smaller than the predetermined first threshold, it is a touch operation with a glove, and when the maximum value is greater than or equal to the first threshold, it is determined that the touch operation is with a finger. In the case of a touch operation with a glove, the contact area with respect to the touch panel 4 is larger than that with a finger. Thus, for example, in the course of the touch operation, the control unit 11 detects the maximum value of the contact area, and when the maximum value is larger than a predetermined second threshold, the control operation is a glove touch operation, and the maximum value is the second threshold. In the following cases, it may be determined that the touch operation is performed with a finger. Alternatively, the control unit 11 is a touch operation with a glove when the maximum value of the amount of change in capacitance is smaller than the first threshold and the maximum value of the contact area is larger than the second threshold, and otherwise May be determined to be a touch operation with a finger.

  When the touch operation is performed while wearing the glove (S111: YES), the control unit 11 displays the selection area 106 on the display 3 so as to avoid the edit box 104a of the information registration screen 104 (S112).

  The selection area 106 is an image having an area sufficiently larger than the edit box 104a so that a sliding operation can be easily performed in the area while wearing the glove. The selection area 106 is, for example, an image having a vertically long rectangular shape as shown in FIG.

  If there is a process assigned to the touch operation detected in step S102 (S113: YES), the control unit 11 executes the assigned process (S114). And the control part 11 returns a process to step S102, and monitors a new touch operation.

  After the selection area 106 is displayed, it is determined in step S110 that the selection area 106 is being displayed. When the selection area 106 is being displayed (S110: YES), the control unit 11 determines whether or not the touch operation detected in step S102 is a slide operation in the selection area 106 (S115).

  When the detected touch operation is a slide operation in the selection area 106 (S115: YES), the control unit 11 is the first slide operation in the selection area 106 (S116). : YES), the top edit box 104a located at the top of the information registration screen 104 is set as the edit box 104a to be input (S117). Then, as shown in FIG. 8B, the control unit 11 displays a cursor in the top editing box 104a and highlights the top editing box 104a (S118).

  On the other hand, if the slide operation is not the first slide operation in the selection area 106 (S116: NO), the control unit 11 sets the next edit box 104a as the edit box 104a to be input (S119), A cursor is displayed in the edit box 104a and highlighted in the edit box 104a (S118). When the edit box 104a set as an input target is the edit box 104a for selection, highlight display is performed but cursor display is not performed.

  Thus, as shown in FIG. 9, every time a slide operation is performed in the selection area 106, the edit box 104a to be input is switched from top to bottom and from left to right. Here, when all the edit boxes 104a cannot be arranged in the arrangement area of the edit box 104a, if the edit box 104a existing below the edit box 104a currently displayed on the display 3 is set as an input target, The portion of the arrangement area on the registration screen 104 scrolls, and an edit box 104a set as an input target appears. A cursor is displayed in the edit box 104a that appears, and a highlight is displayed in the edit box 104a.

  When the last edit box 104a is set as an input target and a slide operation is performed within the selection area 106, the first edit box 104a is set as the input target as the next edit box 104a. Such a configuration may be adopted. Further, the switching order is not limited to the order from top to bottom and from left to right, but may be another order. For example, the order of the edit box 104a into which contact information with a high input frequency is input may be ranked higher. Further, when there is an edit box 104a that requires input and an edit box 104a that does not require input, the edit box 104a that requires input may be ranked higher.

  When the touch operation detected in step S102 is not a slide operation in the selection area 106 (S115: NO), the control unit 11 determines whether or not the touch operation is a tap operation in the selection area 106. Determine (S120). When the touch operation is a tap operation in the selection area 106 (S120: YES), the control unit 11 determines that the edit box 104a currently set as the input target is the edit box 104a2 for selection ( (S121: YES), the display contents of the selection edit box 104a2 are switched as in step S109 (S122). As shown in FIG. 8C, when the selection edit box 104a2 is for inputting the type of the phone, every time a tap operation is performed in the selection area 106, "mobile", "home" The display contents are sequentially switched between “Company” and “Company”.

  When the touch operation detected in step S102 is neither a slide operation nor a tap operation in the selection area 106 (S115: NO → S120: NO), the control unit 11 has a process assigned to the touch operation. (S113: YES), the process is executed (S114). For example, when an input edit box 104a1 is displayed with a cursor and highlighted and is waiting for an input to the input edit box 104a1, a tap operation is performed on any character key on the keyboard 104d. If it does, in step S114, the process which inputs the character corresponding to the character key with which the tap operation was performed will be performed by the control part 11, and the input character will be displayed on the edit box 104a1 for the input.

  When the input of the contact information into the edit box 104a to be input is completed and the save button 104c is tapped (S104: YES), the control unit 11 stores the input contact information in the contact information of the storage unit 12. The information is stored in the database 12a (S123), and the information registration screen 104 is deleted from the display 3 (S124). Further, when a tap operation is performed on the cancel button 104b to cancel registration of contact information (S105: YES), the control unit 11 deletes the information registration screen 104 from the display 3 (S124). Thus, when the control unit 11 deletes the information registration screen 104 from the display 3 (S124), the contact information registration process is terminated.

<Example 2>
In the present embodiment, the globe correspondence control process is applied to the web browser application.

  FIG. 10 and FIG. 11 are flowcharts showing browsing processing for displaying the web screen 105 included in the application of the web browser. FIGS. 12A, 12B, and 12C respectively show a web screen 105 in a state where a tap operation is performed on the link image 105a, and a link destination web screen 105 displayed based on the tap operation on the link image 105a. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing the web screen 105 in a state where a head link image 105a is selected by a slide operation in a selection area 106. FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating a state in which the link images 105a are sequentially selected by repeating the slide operation in the selection area 106. FIG.

  When the web browser application is activated, the control unit 11 executes a browsing process. The processes of steps S206 to S208 and steps S211 to S218 of the browsing process shown in FIGS. 10 and 11 correspond to the above-described globe correspondence control process.

  The control unit 11 displays the web screen 105 on the display 3 (S201). The web screen 105 is as described with reference to FIG.

  When a touch operation is performed on the display 3 (S202: YES), the control unit 11 determines whether or not the touch operation is a tap operation on the link image 105a and whether or not the touch operation is performed on the close button 105b. Is determined (S203, S204).

  When the tap operation is performed on the link image 105a as illustrated in FIG. 12A (S203: YES), the control unit 11 performs the link image on which the tap operation is performed as illustrated in FIG. The linked web screen 105 indicated by 105a is displayed on the display 3 (S205). And the control part 11 returns a process to step S202, and monitors tap operation in the display 3 on which the new web screen 105 was displayed.

  As described above, if a tap operation on the link image 105a is detected, the process of step S205 is performed, and the linked web screen 105 is displayed based on the tap operation on the link image 105a regardless of whether or not the glove is worn. 3 is displayed.

  When the touch operation detected in step S202 is neither a tap operation on the link image 105a nor a tap operation on the close button 105b (S203: NO → S204: NO), the control unit 11 displays the selection area 106 on the display 3. It is determined whether it is displayed (S206).

  If the selection area 106 is not displayed (S206: NO), the control unit 11 determines whether or not the touch operation detected in step S202 is a touch operation while wearing a glove (S207). When the touch operation is performed while wearing the glove (S207: YES), the control unit 11 displays the selection area 106 on the display 3 so as to avoid the link image 105a of the web screen 105 (S208). The selection area 106 has a larger area than the link image 105a.

  If there is a process assigned to the touch operation detected in step S202 (S209: YES), the control unit 11 executes the assigned process (S210). For example, when an upward or downward flick operation is performed on an arbitrary position on the web screen 105, the control unit 11 scrolls the web screen 105 upward or downward. And the control part 11 returns a process to step S202, and monitors a new touch operation.

  After the selection area 106 is displayed, it is determined in step S206 that the selection area 106 is being displayed. When the selection area 106 is being displayed (S206: YES), the control unit 11 determines whether or not the touch operation detected in step S202 is a slide operation in the selection area 106 (S211).

  When the detected touch operation is a slide operation in the selection area 106 (S211: YES), the control unit 11 is the first slide operation in the selection area 106 (S212). : YES), the top link image 105a located at the top of the web screen 105 is set as the link image 105a to be operated (S213). Then, as shown in FIG. 12C, the control unit 11 performs highlight display on the head link image 105a (S214).

  On the other hand, if the slide operation is not the first slide operation in the selection area 106 (S211: NO), the control unit 11 sets the next link image 105a as the operation target link image 105a (S215), The link image 105a is highlighted (S214).

  Thus, as shown in FIG. 13, each time a slide operation is performed in the selection area 106, the link image 105a to be operated is switched from the top to the bottom. Here, when the entire web screen 105 cannot be displayed on the display 3 at once, if the link image 105a existing below the link image 105a currently displayed on the display 3 is set as an operation target, the web screen 105 is displayed. Scroll and the link image 105a set as the operation target appears. The highlighted link image 105a is highlighted.

  When the last link image 105a is set as an operation target and a slide operation is performed in the selection area 106, the first link image 105a is set as the operation target as the next link image 105a. Such a configuration may be adopted. Further, the switching order is not limited to the order from top to bottom, but may be another order. For example, the web screen 105 that is highly relevant to the currently displayed web screen 105 may be ordered so that the rank of the link image 105a to be linked is higher.

  When the touch operation detected in step S202 is not a slide operation in the selection area 106 (S211: NO), the control unit 11 determines whether or not the touch operation is a tap operation in the selection area 106. Determination is made (S216). When the touch operation is a tap operation in the selection area 106 (S216: YES), the control unit 11 determines that any one of the link images 105a is set as an operation target (S217: YES), step S205 and Similarly, the linked web screen 105 indicated by the link image 105a is displayed on the display 3 (S218). And the control part 11 returns a process to step S202, and monitors tap operation with respect to the display 3 on which the new web screen 105 was displayed.

  When the touch operation detected in step S202 is neither a slide operation nor a tap operation in the selection area 106 (S211: NO → S216: NO), the control unit 11 has a process assigned to the touch operation. (S209: YES), the process is executed (S210).

  When browsing of the web screen 105 is finished and a tap operation is performed on the close button 105b (S204: YES), the control unit 11 deletes the web screen 105 from the display 3 (S219), and the browsing process is finished.

<Effects of this embodiment>
According to the present embodiment, when a screen (information registration screen 104, web screen 105) including a plurality of objects to be selected (edit box 104a, link image 105a) is displayed on the display 3, a touch operation is performed. Is a touch operation while wearing a glove. When it is determined that the touch operation is performed while wearing a glove, a selection area 106 having a larger area than the object is displayed on the display 3, and the object is selected by a slide operation in the selection area 106. Done. Therefore, the user can easily select a desired object even while wearing a glove, and can prevent erroneous operation.

  When a plurality of objects to be selected are objects that are in the middle of a touch operation and are not notified of being touched when the object is touched, the user can select a touch position based on the notification. Therefore, if an erroneous operation occurs due to wearing a glove, the touch operation must be repeated. According to the present embodiment, since the glove correspondence control process is performed on a screen including such an object, it is possible to prevent a situation in which a touch operation is repeated unnecessarily due to an erroneous operation.

  Furthermore, according to the present embodiment, since the selection area 106 is displayed on the display 3 so as to avoid the object to be selected, the display of the object is not hindered.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, since the touch operation for selecting an object in the selection area 106 is a slide operation, that is, a touch operation involving movement of the touch position, the user can It is intuitive and easy to understand that the operations are selected sequentially.

  Furthermore, according to the present embodiment, a screen including a plurality of objects to be selected (information registration screen 104, web screen 105), that is, a screen that requires an operation by the selection area 106 is actually displayed. Since the determination regarding the presence or absence of the touch operation by wearing the glove is performed based on the touch operation on the display 3, the selection region 106 can be displayed with high accuracy.

  Furthermore, according to the present embodiment, when the touch operation is accurately performed on the object to be selected, the determination regarding the presence or absence of the touch operation by wearing the glove is not performed, and the touch operation is performed by wearing the glove. Even if there is, the selection area 106 is not displayed. In this way, by preventing the selection area 106 from being displayed when it is deemed unnecessary, it is possible to prevent the display of the screen displayed on the display 3 from being hindered by the display of the selection area 106 as much as possible.

  Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments and the like, and various modifications can be made to the embodiments of the present invention in addition to the above. is there.

<Example of change>
In the above-described embodiment, the determination regarding the presence or absence of the touch operation by wearing the glove is performed based on the touch operation on the display 3 on which the screen including the objects to be selected is actually displayed. However, when a screen other than the screen is displayed on the display 3 before the screen including a plurality of objects to be selected is displayed, the determination on the presence or absence of a touch operation by wearing a glove is performed. The globe determination process may be executed by the control unit 11. And when the screen containing the object used as the some selection object is displayed on the display 3, the selection area | region 106 may be displayed using the result of a globe determination process.

  The storage unit 12 is provided with a globe detection flag used for globe determination processing.

  FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing a glove determination process according to this modification. The globe determination process is executed each time another screen is displayed on the display 3, for example.

  When a touch operation is performed on the display 3 on which another screen is displayed (S301), the control unit 11 determines whether the touch operation is a touch operation while wearing a glove (S302). ). When the detected touch operation is a touch operation while wearing a glove (S302: YES), the control unit 11 sets the glove detection flag if the glove detection flag is in a reset state (S303: YES). (S304) If the globe detection flag is in the set state (S303: NO), the set state is maintained. On the other hand, when the detected touch operation is not a touch operation while wearing a glove (S302: NO), the control unit 11 resets the glove detection flag if the glove detection flag is set (S305: YES). If the globe detection flag is in the reset state (S305: NO), the reset state is maintained.

  FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing contact information registration processing according to the present modification. In the contact information registration process of the present modification example, in contrast to the contact information registration process of the above embodiment shown in FIG. 5, the processes of step S131 and step S132 are added between the process of step S101 and the process of step S102. Has been.

  In the present modification example, when the information registration screen 104 is displayed (S101), the control unit 11 next determines whether or not the globe detection flag is set (S131). That is, it is determined whether or not the touch operation with the glove is already performed on the screen before the information registration screen 104 is displayed. When the glove detection flag is set (S131: YES), there is a high possibility that the touch operation with the glove worn is performed also on the information registration screen 104. Therefore, the control part 11 displays the selection area | region 106 on the display 3 similarly to the process of step S112 (S132).

  Note that the configuration of this modification may be applied to the browsing process instead of the contact information registration process. In this case, the processes of step S131 and step S132 shown in FIG. 15 are added between the process of step S201 and the process of step S202 of the browsing process shown in FIG.

  As described above, according to the present modification example, when there is a high possibility that the touch operation with the glove being worn is performed, when a screen including a plurality of objects to be selected is displayed, the touch operation is waited for. Therefore, since the selection area 106 is displayed, the user can quickly use the selection area 106 when wearing a glove.

<Other changes>
In the above embodiment, an object is selected based on a slide operation within the selection area 106. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and an object may be selected based on a flick operation, which is a touch operation that involves movement of the same touch position as the slide operation.

  Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the globe-compatible control process is applied to the phone book application and the web browser application. However, the globe correspondence control process may be applied to another application that uses a screen including a plurality of objects to be selected as an execution screen.

  Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, based on the touch operation that is being displayed in the selection area 106, a determination is made regarding whether or not the touch operation is performed with a glove, and it is determined that the touch operation is not a touch operation while wearing the glove. In this case, the control unit 11 may execute a series of processes such that the selected area 106 is deleted. In this way, when the user removes the globe and performs a touch operation, the selection area 106 disappears from the display 3, so that the screen portion hidden in the selection area 106 can be displayed on the display 3.

  Furthermore, instead of the selection area 106 of the above-described embodiment, a selection area 116 illustrated in FIG. 16A may be displayed on the display 3 based on the determination relating to the presence or absence of a touch operation with a glove. The selection area 116 includes a plurality of bars 116a arranged in a line in the vertical direction. In this case, as shown in FIG. 16B, each bar 116a is lit in order from the top in accordance with the downward sliding operation. In this way, the user can recognize that the slide operation has been accepted by lighting each bar 116a.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the selection target moves to the next object by one slide operation. However, the configuration may be such that the number of moving objects changes, such as two ahead and three ahead, according to the length of the slide operation. In this case, if the selection area 116 is used, the user can easily understand the degree of the slide operation.

  Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the present invention is applied to a smartphone-type mobile phone. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the present invention may be applied to other types of mobile phones such as a straight type, a folding type, and a sliding type.

  Furthermore, the present invention is not limited to a mobile phone, and can be applied to various mobile terminal devices such as a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) and a tablet PC (Tablet PC). Furthermore, the present invention can be applied to a digital camera, a digital video camera, a portable music player, and a portable game machine. That is, the present invention is applicable to various portable electronic devices that are operated on a display.

  In addition, the embodiment of the present invention can be variously modified as appropriate within the scope of the technical idea shown in the claims.
