Description

The present invention relates to an in-vehicle electronic device that employs a touch panel input method.

Regarding an in-vehicle electronic device that employs this type of input method, for example, as shown in FIG. 24 (A), a sheet plate displaying the operation content is attached to a touch panel unit that is detachable from the monitor body, and a seat is attached. A technique has been proposed in which an in-vehicle device is selected and an operation mode of the selected device is specified by touching a predetermined portion of the board (Patent Document 1).

Further, as shown in FIG. 24 (B), by providing a ridge on the front surface of the touch panel so as to surround the operation switch display area, the operation switch display is not obscured by the step of the ridge, and the ridge is not obscured. There is also a proposal of a technique for preventing an erroneous operation switch input by setting the position of the strip as the switch inoperable region of the touch panel so that the switch does not operate even if the strut is pressed (Patent Document 2).

Further, as shown in FIG. 24C, in a touch panel device in which a plurality of transparent electrodes are formed on a touch panel substrate and a plurality of electrostatic touch switches are formed by individually connecting connection electrodes to each of the transparent electrodes, a touch panel is used. Each transparent electrode is formed on the substrate so as to surround the outside of one transparent electrode with another transparent electrode, and each of these outer transparent electrodes has a connection electrode at the outer edge when viewed from the inner transparent electrode. At the same time, the inner transparent electrode is integrally formed with a tongue piece portion that passes between the outer transparent electrodes, and the connection electrode is connected to the tip of the tongue piece portion to be connected to the transparent electrode. There is also a proposal for a technique for making shadows due to connecting electrodes inconspicuous (Patent Document 3).

JP-A-6-110609 (Summary, Fig. 2, Fig. 4, Fig. 6) Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2006-350789 (Summary, FIG. 2) JP 2012-123449 (Summary, FIGS. 2 and 3)

These conventional technologies have a problem that the touch detection area must be complicatedly set on the touch panel in order to realize various functions mounted on the in-vehicle electronic device. Therefore, there is a problem that it is difficult to apply these conventional techniques to compact in-vehicle electronic devices in consideration of design.

Therefore, the present invention provides a technique that enables various inputs in an in-vehicle electronic device that employs a touch panel input method without complicatedly setting a touch detection area, and is applicable to a compact in-vehicle electronic device. The purpose.

The in-vehicle electronic device of the present invention made to achieve the above object includes a display screen having a touch panel on the front surface, and a control device that displays an image on the display screen and performs various arithmetic processes based on the touch operation of the touch panel. It is characterized by having the following configurations.
(1) The touch panel includes a plurality of sensor areas that divide the display screen along a predetermined direction, and the control device inputs the touch status of the plurality of sensor areas and touches such as one touch, long press, and flick. Must be equipped with a touch operation determination means for determining the type of operation.

For example, the sensor area is provided so as to divide the screen in any one of the horizontal direction, the vertical direction, the diagonal direction, and the like. By dividing in a predetermined direction, it is possible to determine the touch operation by distinguishing the user's sensuous and ambiguous touch method such as around the center, left side, right side, upper side, and lower side. When it is divided into squares or the like, a fairly accurate touch is required, but since it is only divided into equal parts in a predetermined direction, a desired operation can be performed even if the touch is ambiguous in position.

Here, the in-vehicle electronic device of the present invention may be configured as follows.
(2) The touch operation determining means is configured as a means for determining the distinction of the touch operation from the touch position, the release position, and the touch time.

It is possible to determine whether or not the flick operation is performed when the touch position and the release position match and when they are different. In addition, it is possible to distinguish between one-touch and long-press by the length of the touch time from touch to release.

Further, the in-vehicle electronic device of the present invention may be configured as follows.
(3) The touch panel includes a sensor area that divides the display screen into three in the vertical or horizontal direction.

Even if the screen is quite small, the user will not find it difficult to use if the touch method is near the center or near the edge. If the division method is equal division, the user's operation becomes easier.

These in-vehicle electronic devices of the present invention may further include the following configurations.
(4) The control device includes a display state switching means for switching between a first display state using the entire display screen and a second display state for displaying an image in units of the sensor area.

The entire screen can be used for the standby screen, etc., and the sensor area unit can be used for the setting screen, etc., so that the screen can be used properly according to the purpose.

Further, these in-vehicle electronic devices of the present invention may also have the following configurations.
(5) When the control device displays an image in units of the plurality of sensor areas, the control device displays the entire image so that the entire image fits in at least one sensor area, and the sensor area next to the sensor area in which the entire image fits. Is configured to display a partial image so that the display state is biased toward a direction away from the sensor area in which the entire image is accommodated.

For example, when divided into three parts on the left and right, the entire icon image that means the current setting item is displayed on the screen corresponding to the center sensor area so that it fits within the sensor area, and the sensor area on the right side that can be displayed by scrolling left. Can be used to display the icon of another setting item so that it can be seen a little. As a result, for example, when trying to move the icon image of the right sensor area to the center, the right sensor area can be reliably touched and flicked to the left. It can improve the sexuality and give the user a feeling of switching between screens.

Further, these in-vehicle electronic devices of the present invention may also have the following configurations.
(6) The control device selects a setting condition for displaying a selection screen relating to various setting conditions for the in-vehicle electronic device by switching the display content of the image on the display screen based on the determination result of the touch operation determination means. Must have screen display means.

In-vehicle electronic devices are required to be able to be changed to various settings according to the user's preference and usage conditions. On the other hand, there is a desire for users to display it on their favorite standby screen after the setting is completed. Therefore, if the standby screen is normally displayed and the screen is switched to the selection screen related to various setting conditions when a certain touch operation is performed, the in-vehicle electronic device can accurately meet the user's request.

In this case, the following configuration may be further provided.
(7) The control device executes screen scrolling as the setting condition selection screen display means so as to switch the setting item when the touch operation determination means determines that the flick operation is performed, and the touch operation determination means is one-touch. A means for executing screen feed is provided so as to switch the setting conditions for the setting item when it is determined.

This is because various setting conditions for a large number of setting items can be set in advance, and the setting conditions of the setting items desired by the user can be displayed by scrolling the screen and advancing the screen. Since the user's operation for this purpose is one-touch and flick, it is possible to intuitively command screen scrolling and screen feed.

Further, these in-vehicle electronic devices of the present invention may also have the following configurations.
(8) The control device includes a long press handling processing means for changing or confirming a display or setting state when the touch operation determining means determines that the touch operation is long pressed.

When the setting conditions are selected as described above, it is necessary to finally set the setting conditions desired by the user. In addition, it is necessary to switch from the standby screen to the setting screen at the timing desired by the user. In such a case, long press is sensuously suitable for switching these displays and confirming the setting conditions.

According to the present invention, in an in-vehicle electronic device adopting a touch panel input method, it is possible to provide various inputs without setting a complicated touch detection area, and to provide a technique applicable to a compact in-vehicle electronic device. it can.

It can be seen that the front and rear sides of the upper surface 2c and the front and rear sides of the bottom surface 2b of the main body case 2 are composed of R-cut curved surfaces 2c4, 2c5, 2b1, 2b2. Due to the presence of the curved surface 2c4 and the like, the information display device 1 also has a smooth and soft image without being angular. In this embodiment, the back surface 2f is provided with a rectangular recess 21h for attaching the serial number sticker 43, but a flat back surface shape without a recess may be used.

FIG. 10 is a cross-sectional view of DD cut right beside the center in the front-rear direction, and a plan view showing the cutting position and the direction in which the arrow is viewed. From this figure, it can be seen that the side surfaces 2d and 2e have tapered step portions 2d1, 2e1, bulging portions 2d2 and 2e2, and constricted portions 2d3 and 2e3 that give a feeling of volume. The reference numeral 2d5 written on the card slot is a portion in which the type of the SD card is displayed in an engraving format, but this may also be a flat surface as shown in FIGS. 1 to 6.

Next, the positional relationship of the substrates 31 to 34 will be described with reference to FIG. 11 showing a state in which the upper case and the front case are removed.

As shown in the drawing, the first substrate 31 to the third substrate 33 are installed in a horizontal state in which the plate surfaces are oriented in the vertical direction and a distance in the height direction. On the other hand, the display board 34 is installed in a vertical state with the board surface facing the front-rear direction.

Since the GPS module 32a is installed on the upper surface of the first substrate 32 mounted horizontally on the uppermost surface, it is easy to receive radio waves from GPS satellites. On the other hand, since the radar module 31a, which is the heaviest component, is installed on the first substrate 31 at the bottom, the position of the center of gravity of the device can be lowered. Since the SD card slot component 33a and the external input terminal receiving component 33b of the third board 33 face to the right, the user in the driver's seat can insert or remove the SD card or insert or remove the output terminal of the portable music player or the like. It facilitates operations such as.

Further, since the patch antenna 31c is installed upright on the back side of the first substrate 31 attached to the bottom, it is easy to catch microwaves and the like from the front of the vehicle. Further, since the slide switch component 32b is installed on the left side of the rear end of the uppermost second board 32 and the DC jack receiving component 31b is installed on the right side of the rear end of the lowermost first board 31, the DC jack and the slide switch are installed. It is inconspicuous from the front and can be placed at positions separated from the top, bottom, left, and right on the back. As a result, the power cord of the DC jack is not accidentally unplugged when operating the slide switch.

Since the display board 34 is mounted in the vertical direction unlike the first to third boards, the four boards can be conveniently stored in the compact main body case 2.

According to the information display device 1 of the first embodiment, the main body case 2 is configured with a dice-shaped outer shape having substantially the same width, height, and depth, which gives an interesting design and gives the first to third substrates 31 to 31. By mounting the 33 with the plate surface facing in the vertical direction, electronic components for exerting the original functions of the information display device 1 can be conveniently stored in the dice-shaped main body case. As a result, it is possible to provide an information display device that does not hinder the performance of the original function and is attractive as an interior of the vehicle due to the "lumpy feeling" of the dice shape.

Further, by placing the first substrate 31 to which the relatively heavy radar module 31a is attached below, the weight balance of the entire device is improved, and the forward overturning moment due to the weight of the display unit 10 mounted on the front surface is reduced. It is canceling out. Further, since the GPS module 32a is installed on the uppermost second substrate 32, it is easy to receive radio waves from GPS satellites. In addition, since the patch antenna 31c is installed upright on the back side of the first substrate 31 so as to be substantially parallel to the back surface 2f of the main body case 2, the radar module 31a has a sufficiently high detection capability and is compact. The design is possible.

Further, the slide switch component 32b was installed on the left side of the rear end of the second board 32 on the top, and the DC jack receiving component 31b was installed on the right side of the rear end of the first board 31 on the bottom. The OFF operation is easy to perform, and the power cord does not come off by touching it during the ON / OFF operation.

In addition, by installing the third substrate 33 and demonstrating the function as a music playback device while being an in-vehicle information display device, it is possible to provide not only the fun of the design but also the fun of the function. Then, the push buttons 11 to 13 necessary for exerting the added music playback function are installed in the area of the front half of the upper surface of the main body case 2, and the periphery is surrounded by the ridge frames 2c1 to 2c3, so that the design is good. It does not damage the product, has good operability, and can be operated without touching the switch or power cord on the back.

Further, the built-in speaker 32c is installed on the upper surface of the uppermost second substrate 32, and the sound emitting holes 21s are formed in a square shape on the upper surface 2c of the main body case 2, and the recesses 21t have a sense of unity in design. Do not make the presence of the speaker stand out. Since there is a space 32v between the speaker 32c and the sound emitting hole 21s, which is doubly surrounded by oval tubular walls 21u and 21w, the sound resonates well, and voice information such as warnings and alerts can be sent to the speaker. The sound can convey it to the driver.

The main body case 2 is formed on the upper case 21 in which the upper surface, the side surface and the back surface are integrally formed, the bottom case 22 forming the bottom surface, the upper front edge 2g formed on the upper front portion of the upper case, and the front surface of the bottom case. The front case 23 that fits into the back side of the lower front edge 2h is assembled and configured, and the display board 34 with the liquid crystal display 34a attached is attached to the back side of the front case 23, so that the main body case 2 is sturdy. The structure is easy to assemble, and the display panel can be firmly attached.

Further, since the touch panel 41 is mounted on the front side of the display opening of the front case 23, various settings and the like can be performed by natural operations in addition to the contents of the display display, and the design can be improved by providing a switch or the like. The adverse effect of can be eliminated.

Further, since the front and rear sides of the upper surface and the front and rear sides of the bottom surface of the main body case 2 are composed of curved surfaces 2c4, 2c5, 2b1, 2b2 with rounded edges, it is possible to give a smooth image "massive feeling". If it rolls, the direction in which it is likely to roll is inferred, and it gives the user a sense of security that it will not hurt even if it hits the user.

Even if it is a speed control monitoring device, the main body has a dice shape and has a "lumpy feeling", a "clicking feeling", a "mechanical impression", etc., so it is easy to accept it as an interior of a car without any discomfort.

Further, the information display device 1 of the first embodiment realizes a music playback function by a microcomputer for main control mounted on the back surface of the display board 34. Specifically, by reading music data from the SD card inserted in the SD card slot, playing it back, and outputting it via the FM transmitter 33c, the played music can be played from the speaker of the in-vehicle audio device. This music reproduction is executed by instructing music selection / reproduction such as pause / performance, return, and feed by operating the push buttons 11 to 13 on the upper surface. Even when an external device such as a portable music player is connected to the external input terminal and music is played from the external device, music is transmitted to the in-vehicle audio device via the FM transmitter 33c and comfortably via the in-vehicle speaker. You can also enjoy it.

Next, the control system of the information display device 1 will be described. As shown in FIG. 12, the information display device 1 constitutes a control system centered on a display control microcomputer 50. The microcomputer 50 inputs signals from the radar module 31a, the GPS module 32a, the tact switches 32e to 32g, the SD card slot component 33a, and the electrostatic touch panel 41, executes various arithmetic processes, and executes various arithmetic processes, and includes the built-in speaker 32c, FM transmitter 33c, and A control signal is output to the liquid crystal display 34a. Further, a microwave detection signal from the patch antenna 31c is input to the radar module 31a. The FM transmitter 33c is configured to be capable of transmitting a music reproduction signal input from the external input terminal receiving component 33b in addition to the music reproduction signal input from the microcomputer 50. The music reproduction signal transmitted from the FM transmitter 33c is received by the car stereo 60 and output via the vehicle-mounted speaker 61.

In this embodiment, the vehicle-mounted speaker 61 can be selected as the audio output destination in the speed control information monitoring control in addition to the built-in speaker 32c. This is realized by setting the audio output destination to the FM transmitter 33c in the microcomputer 50. The microcomputer 50 also includes a music playback program that reads and plays music data from the SD card mounted in the SD card slot component 33a. The music reproduced by this music reproduction program can be listened to by the in-vehicle speaker 61 via the FM transmitter 33c. On the other hand, in this embodiment, music reproduction data from a portable music player is input as an external input, and this can be listened to by the in-vehicle speaker 61 via the FM transmitter 33c. In order to realize these controls, the following control programs are installed in the microcomputer 50.

As shown in FIG. 13A, the microcomputer 50 switches the audio output destination to the FM transmitter 33c (S20) when there is a command to switch the audio output destination from the touch panel 41 (S10). The default condition of the audio output destination is the built-in speaker 32c. Next, it is determined whether or not an input is made from the external input terminal (S30). When the input is made from the external input terminal (S30: YES), the audio output destination is forcibly returned to the built-in speaker 32c regardless of the audio output destination switching command in S10 (S40). Then, when the voice notification timing is reached (S50: YES), voice output at a predetermined volume is executed (S60).

Further, as shown in FIG. 13B, when the push buttons 11 to 13 are operated (S110: YES), it is determined whether or not the operation is for music selection (S120). When the operation is for music selection (S120: YES), the music information is read from the SD card installed in the SD slot and displayed on the liquid crystal display (S130). When the playback command is input (S140: YES), the music is played (S150), and it is determined whether or not the alarm timing has been reached (S160). When the alarm timing is reached (S160: YES), the volume is forcibly lowered (S170) and then output to the FM transmitter 33c (S180) regardless of the set volume. When it is not the alarm timing, the set volume is output to the FM transmitter (S160: NO → S180). During MP3 playback, the determination of S160 is always performed (S180 → S60). As a result, the music can be enjoyed through the vehicle-mounted speaker 61, and the notification voice based on the monitoring result of the speed control information is not disturbed.

As a result of performing the above control processing, the priority order is as shown in the upper table of FIG. 13C, and the alarm sound (RD) is always given the highest priority. In addition, the default condition is that the built-in speaker (SP) is set as the alarm sound output destination, but when using MP3, the user can arbitrarily set the FM transmitter (FMT) as the output destination. At this time, as described above, at the alarm timing, the volume of the MP3 playback sound is lowered regardless of the volume setting, so that the alarm sound is not disturbed. Further, since the alarm sound (RD) is fixed to the built-in speaker (SP) when the external input is used, the alarm sound is not mixed with the music and becomes difficult to hear.

According to this embodiment, various settings can be executed with a natural operation feeling by using the touch panel 41 on the front surface, and music playback that is highly likely to be frequently operated by incorporating the MP3 playback function. Push buttons 11 to 13 for use are provided as dedicated buttons in the area of the front half of the upper surface of the main body case 2, so that operability is good.

Next, various setting inputs using the electrostatic touch panel 41 will be described. As shown in FIG. 14, the electrostatic touch panel 41 has a configuration in which the left side sensor area 71, the center sensor area 72, and the right side sensor area 73 are divided into three equal parts. As shown in FIG. 14B, for example, the wiring can be composed of independent wirings 71a to 73a from the sensor areas 71 to 73 and common loop wirings 74 arranged so as to surround the entire sensor area. .. With this configuration, when any sensor area is touched with a finger, a change in capacitance occurs, and it is possible to detect which sensor area is touched.

The input method using the electrostatic touch panel 41 in which the sensor area is divided into three will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. 15 to 20. This process is performed by the microcomputer 50 executing the pre-installed program.

As shown in FIG. 15, in the touch operation determination routine, when a change in capacitance occurs in any of the three sensor areas 71 to 73 of the touch panel 41 (S210), whether or not the change in capacitance is due to the first touch. (S220). When it is determined to be the first touch (S220: YES), the sensor area whose capacitance has changed due to the touch of the finger is specified as the touch position A and stored in the memory together with the detection time (S225). .. When it is determined that it is not the first touch (S220: NO), it is determined whether or not it is released (S230), and if it is "YES", the sensor area whose capacitance has changed due to the release of the finger is released. The position B is specified and stored in the memory together with the detection time (S235).

Next, it is determined whether or not both the touch position A and the release position B are stored in the memory (S240). When both are stored (S240: YES), it is determined whether or not the touch position A and the release position B match (S250). If it is determined that they match (S250: YES), it is determined whether or not the press and hold is performed (S260). Whether or not it is a long press can be determined from, for example, a predetermined long press determination time and a difference between the release position detection time and the touch position detection time. If it is determined that the press is long-pressed (S260: YES), the information specifying "touch position A and long-press" is stored in a memo as "touch panel operation information" (S270). On the other hand, when it is determined that the press is not long-pressed (S260: NO), the information specifying "touch position A and one-touch" is stored in a memo as the touch panel operation information (S275).

On the other hand, if the touch position A and the release position B are different (S250: NO), it is determined whether or not the release position B is in the area on the left side of the touch position A (S280). If "YES" is determined, "left flick" is stored in the memory as "touch operation information" (S290), and if "NO" is determined, "right flick" is stored as "touch operation information". Store in memory (S295).

The microcomputer 50 executes the following processing based on the touch operation information. This process is also executed according to the pre-installed program, and as shown in FIG. 16A, it is determined whether or not the current display state is the "standby screen" (S310), and if it is not the standby screen, this routine is used. Go through and proceed to S410.

If it is the standby screen (S310: YES), it is determined whether or not the touch operation information is the central one-touch (S320). If it is determined that the center is one-touch (S320: YES), the standby screen is switched to the next standby screen (S330). As shown in FIG. 16B, this standby screen can be switched from "radar scope" → "clock" → "speed" → "eco-driving" → "positioning information" → "OFF" → "radar scope" → ...・ ・ It is executed as a process of switching to rotary. In addition, "eco-driving" calculates and displays the comprehensive evaluation result of four items of sudden acceleration, sudden deceleration, idling time, and deviation from economic speed from GPS speed data, and points are displayed. This is the standby screen.

On the other hand, if it is determined that it is not the central one-touch (S320: NO), it is determined whether or not it is a long press (S340). If it is determined that the press is long-pressed (S340: YES), it is determined whether the touch position when the long-press is pressed is left / center / right (S350). When the center is pressed and held (S350: center), the display of the "standby screen" is stopped and the display is switched to the "setting mode icon screen" (S360). As shown in the center of FIG. 17C, the icon indicating the setting mode is displayed in the center of the screen. At this time, about 1/3 of the icon on the right side of the screen is the icon of the ity map service.

If the long press is on the left (S350: left), the volume bar is superimposed and the volume down process is executed (S370). For example, a process of updating the volume setting value by calculating the volume down amount from the current volume setting value by the long press time is executed. In this embodiment, when the command is lower than the volume setting value "zero", the silent mode is set. An example of a screen display during volume down processing when the standby screen is a clock is shown on the left side of FIG. 17 (C). As shown in the figure, the manner mode is set at VOL0.

If the long press is on the right (S350: left), the volume bar is superimposed and the volume up process is executed (S375). For example, a process of updating the volume setting value by calculating the volume increase amount from the current volume setting value is executed according to the long press time. If the current mode is the manner mode, the manner mode is first canceled. On the right side of FIG. 17C, a screen display example during volume up processing when the standby screen is a clock is shown. As shown in the figure, it stops when the volume is increased to the maximum value VOL7.

If "NO" is determined in S310, the routine shown in FIG. 17A is executed, and it is determined whether or not the current display state is the "setting mode icon screen" (S410). If the setting start screen is displayed (S410: YES), it is determined whether or not the touch operation is a central one-touch (S420). If "YES" is determined, the screen proceeds to the setting item screen (S430). As a result, it becomes possible to set conditions for various setting items. On the other hand, when it is not the center one touch (S420: NO), it is determined whether or not it is a left flick (S440). If "YES" is determined, the screen is scrolled to the left (S450). In this embodiment, the ity map service screen is displayed in the center by scrolling left of this screen. It should be noted that this routine is exited without doing anything for touch operations other than center one touch and left scroll. FIG. 17B shows a state in which the center one-touch of the setting mode icon advances to the setting item screen, and FIG. 17C shows a state in which the screen is scrolled from the setting mode icon to the ity map icon by a left flick operation. Illustrate.

When both S310 and S410 are determined to be "NO", the routine shown in FIG. 18A is executed, and it is determined whether or not the current display state is the "setting item screen" (S510). If it is a setting item screen (S510: YES), it is determined whether or not the touch operation is a central one-touch (S520). If "YES" is determined, the center display is switched to the next setting condition screen of the current setting item (S530). On the other hand, when it is determined that scrolling is left instead of one-touch in the center (S520: NO, S540: YES), the screen is scrolled left to display the next setting item screen (S550). On the contrary, when it is determined that the flick is right (S520: NO, S540: NO, S560: YES), the screen is scrolled to the right to display the previous setting item screen (S570). This setting item screen is switched to rotary, and if you scroll further left from the last setting item screen, it switches to the first setting item screen, and if you scroll right from the first setting item screen, it switches to the last setting item screen. FIG. 18B illustrates a state in which the setting item screen is switched by flicking left and right, and a state in which the setting condition screen is reached with one touch in the center.

When all of S310, S410, and S510 are determined to be "NO", the routine shown in FIG. 19A is executed, and it is determined whether or not the current display state is the "setting condition screen" (S610). If it is a setting condition screen (S610: YES), it is determined whether or not the touch operation is a central one-touch (S620). If "YES" is determined, the setting conditions on the current setting item screen are sequentially forwarded (S630). On the other hand, when it is determined that the center is pressed and held instead of the center one touch (S620: NO, S640: YES), the content corresponding to the current screen display is set as the setting condition for the setting item (S650). If it is determined that the flick is left (S620: NO, S640: NO, S660: YES), neither the center one-touch nor the center long press is performed, the screen is scrolled left to display the next setting item screen. (S670). On the contrary, when it is determined that the flick is right (S620: NO, S640: NO, S660: NO, S680: YES), the screen is scrolled to the right to display the previous setting item screen (S690). The switching of this setting item screen is rotary feed. FIG. 19B illustrates how the setting condition screen advances to the next setting condition screen with one touch in the center, the condition is set by pressing and holding the center, and the setting item is switched by flicking left and right. ..

When all of S310, S410, S510, and S610 are determined to be "NO", the routine shown in FIG. 20A is executed, and it is determined whether or not the current display state is the "ity map icon screen" (S710). ). If the ity map icon screen is displayed (S710: YES), it is determined whether or not the touch operation is a central one-touch (S720). If "YES" is determined, a two-dimensional bar code indicating the current position is displayed based on the GPS positioning information as shown in FIG. 20 (B) (S730). By reading and transmitting this two-dimensional bar code with the bar code reading function of the mobile phone, the user can receive a service of displaying a map and information of the surrounding area on the mobile phone. If you touch it again, it will return to the icon screen.

As shown in FIG. 21A, the information display device 1 of this embodiment can set various conditions for various items. This condition setting work can be executed in the flow shown in FIG. 21 (B), and at that time, the arithmetic processing described with reference to FIGS. 15 to 20 is executed. The setting conditions marked with a star in each setting item in FIG. 21 (A) are initial values. By displaying the setting initialization icon and pressing and holding it, you can return to the initial setting state with these ★. Further, the information display device 1 of the present embodiment can reproduce MP3 data as described above, and can display the music player screen as a standby screen as shown in FIG. 21 (C). There is.

As shown in FIG. 22A, this music player screen becomes a standby screen only when a micro SD card is inserted in the SD card slot. A subfolder can be provided in the micro SD card, and as shown in FIG. 22B, the standby screen shows the song name, artist name, album name, folder name, playback mode (repeat mode), and operating state (playback mode). The icon) is displayed, and the playback time is also displayed. As shown in FIGS. 22 (C) and 22 (D), the operating state is play, stop, fast forward the song, fast rewind the song, and the song by pressing the push buttons 11 to 13 on the upper surface of the main body. Contents such as to the head are set.

As described above, in the information display device 1 of the present embodiment, the electrostatic touch panel 41 is divided into three parts in the left-right direction, particularly, the sensor area is formed by dividing the electrostatic touch panel 41 into three equal parts. It is possible to determine the touch operation by distinguishing the target and ambiguous touch method. In addition, since the sensor area is divided into three equal parts, it is possible to accurately and easily determine whether or not the flick operation is performed when the touch position and the release position match and when the release position is different, without requiring the user to perform a precise operation. It can be determined. In addition, the length of the touch time from touch to release makes it possible to clearly distinguish between one-touch and long-press.

For example, even if the external shape is small within 100 mm square and the screen is composed of several inches, the user can touch it in the middle or near the edge because it is divided into three equal parts: left, center, and right. Does not feel difficult to use.

On the other hand, the standby screen uses the entire screen, and the setting screen is divided into sensor area units, so that the screen is used properly according to the purpose. Then, on the setting screen, the icon image is displayed so that it fits in the central sensor area, and the icon of the next setting item and the icon of the previous setting item are shifted outward so that only about 1/3 can be seen, so the next setting In the operation of scrolling to the item, the user naturally touches near the right end, so that it is easy to unknowingly execute a reliable flick operation. As a result, it is possible to give the user a feeling that the screen is switched between crisp and crisp.

In addition, since screen scrolling is performed by flicking and screen feed for switching setting conditions within the same setting item is performed with one touch, the operation feeling and the screen switching method match. In addition, operations based on the user's clear intention, such as switching the display from the standby screen to the setting screen and confirming the setting conditions on the setting screen, require a long press, which also gives the user a sense and operation content. It matches well.

Then, in the device of the embodiment, since the music playback function is provided, the playback operation that will be frequently operated is not touched to the music player standby screen, but is in the front half area of the upper surface of the main body case. Since the dedicated push buttons 11 to 13 provided are used, it is easy to operate, and by displaying the music information on the music player display on the standby screen, the user can easily select the favorite song.

According to this embodiment, in an in-vehicle electronic device adopting a touch panel input method, it is possible to provide various inputs without setting a complicated touch detection area, and to provide a technology applicable to a compact in-vehicle electronic device. Can be done.

Next, a manufacturing example of the main body case 2 will be described as a second embodiment. As shown in FIG. 23, W = 56 mm, H = 54 mm, D = 53 mm, and the bulge on the side surface is 0.5 mm. In addition, the side surface is painted in a metallic style, and the other side is painted matte. Further, the SD card insertion slot on the right side and the upper part of the external input terminal insertion slot are engraved with protrusions, and the constricted portion is engraved with recesses to finish it in a sheet metal style. Further, a symbol indicating the function of the push button, a device type, and the like are printed on the upper surface. The main body case is a synthetic resin injection molded product.

According to this manufacturing example, the "matte coating" gives a high-class feeling to the "lumpy feeling", and the "metal-like coating" gives a "crisp impression" that the contents are firmly protected, as well as the "metal-like coating". A "mechanical impression" is formed by "protruding a part of the applied side surface in front view". In addition, the sculpture on the right side gives the image of sheet metal along with metal-like painting, further enhancing the mechanical impression.

According to the first embodiment and the manufacturing example thereof (the second embodiment), when the information is installed in a vehicle such as on a dashboard, the information can be visually recognized by the driver and the original function is hindered. It is possible to provide an information display device that is attractive as an interior of a vehicle.

And, although it is a small body of about 50 mm square, various settings and the like can be easily realized by touch operation from the touch panel.
