The "reagent / consumables information" button is a button for receiving a display instruction of information on reagents and consumables used in the analyzer 10, and the "pairing display" button is paired with the analyzer 10. It is a button for receiving a display instruction of information about a set reagent. In addition, the "display by reagent & display by position" button receives, for example, an instruction to display the expiration date and the number of remaining tests for each reagent, or an instruction to display reagent information for each reagent storage position in the storage unit of the analysis unit 17. Button. Further, for example, a button for receiving an execution instruction of a process related to calibration in the analyzer 10, a button for receiving an execution instruction of a process related to quality control of the analyzer 10, and the like may be provided. The original screen is not limited to the configuration shown in FIG. 5A, and may be configured to display various menus and buttons in the analyzer 10.

In the analyzer 10 of the present embodiment, for example, when the touch panel 14 is used in a vertically long state, a predetermined first area R1 (for example, an upper area, one end side of the touch panel 14 in the longitudinal direction) on the original screen (display area) is used. When an operation of touching two places at the same time (hereinafter referred to as a two-point tap operation) is performed on the area), the original screen is tilted in the first direction and displayed. Further, when the analyzer 10 performs a two-point tap operation on a predetermined second region R2 (for example, a lower region, a region on the other end side in the longitudinal direction of the touch panel 14) on the original screen, the analyzer 10 displays the original screen on the second region. It is configured to be tilted in the direction of display. Further, the analyzer 10 is configured to display the original screen in a folded state when a two-point tap operation is performed on a predetermined third region R3 (for example, the central region) on the original screen. In the first direction, the upper area of the original screen moves to the back side and the lower area moves to the front side, and in the second direction, the upper area of the original screen moves to the front side and the lower area moves to the front side. It is an inclined direction that moves to the back side.

Therefore, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the two-point tap operation for the first area R1 on the original screen has been accepted via the touch panel 14 (input unit 15) (S12). When the original screen is displayed on the touch panel 14 (display unit 16), the control unit 11 has a touch panel 14 (input unit 15) and a predetermined area (first to third areas R1 to R3). Operations other than the point tap operation can also be accepted, and when other operations are accepted, the process of step S12 is performed while executing various processes according to the accepted operation. When the control unit 11 determines that the two-point tap operation for the first area R1 has been accepted (S12: YES), the touch panel 14 (display unit 16) displays the tilted screen (tilted area) in which the original screen is tilted in the first direction. Is displayed in (S13). Here, the control unit 11 (first display control unit) displays a form of the first tilted screen corresponding to the screen orientation (here, vertically long) and the tilting direction (here, the first direction) from the screen DB 12b in the information being displayed. The information displayed on the original screen is appropriately assigned and displayed on the read-out form of the first tilted screen. As a result, the information to be displayed is displayed on the touch panel 14 on the first tilted screen tilted in the first direction.

FIG. 5B shows an example of the first tilted screen, and the first tilted screen shown in FIG. 5B simulates the original screen shown in FIG. 5A so as to move the upper region to the back side and the lower region to the front side. It is a screen tilted to. For example, when the user is performing a touch operation on the upper area of the original screen while checking the displayed contents, the analyzer 10 is close to the distance where the touch panel 14 can be operated. The displayed contents of the area on the side are difficult to see. Therefore, the user can display a tilted screen in which the upper region is moved to the back side and the lower region is moved to the front side in a pseudo manner by performing a two-point tap operation on the upper region (first region R1). can. As shown in FIG. 5B, on the first tilted screen, the lower region, which was difficult to see on the original screen, is moved upward and displayed at an angle that is easy for the user to see. Further, in the first tilted screen, since the original screen is pseudo-tilted in the first direction, the area on the lower side of the screen moved to the front side is enlarged (stretched) in the vertical direction and displayed. Therefore, the user can easily see the displayed contents of the lower area without changing the height of the line of sight, for example.

In the analyzer 10 displaying the first tilted screen, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the two-point tap operation for the first region R1 (upper region) on the first tilted screen is further accepted via the touch panel 14. (S14). When it is determined that the two-point tap operation for the first region R1 is further accepted (S14: YES), the control unit 11 has a tilt screen (here) with a larger tilt angle than the tilt screen being displayed (here, the first tilt screen). Then, it is determined whether or not there is a second tilt screen) (S15). Here, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the form of the tilted screen having a larger tilt angle than the tilted screen being displayed is stored in the screen DB 12b. The tilt angle of the tilt screen stored in the screen DB 12b increases in the order of the first tilt screen, the second tilt screen, and so on.

When it is determined that there is a tilted screen having a larger tilt angle than the tilted screen being displayed (S15: YES), the control unit 11 further tilts the tilted screen being displayed (here, the first tilted screen) in the first direction. The tilted screen is displayed on the touch panel 14 (S16). Here, in the information being displayed, the control unit 11 corresponds to the screen orientation (here, vertically long) and the tilting direction (here, the first direction), and is next to the tilting screen (here, the first tilting screen) being displayed. The form of the tilted screen (here, the second tilted screen) having a large tilt angle is read out from the screen DB 12b, and the information displayed on the first tilted screen is appropriately assigned and displayed on the read out form of the second tilted screen. As a result, the information to be displayed is displayed on the touch panel 14 on the second tilt screen.

FIG. 6A shows an example of the second tilted screen, and the second tilted screen shown in FIG. 6A moves the first tilted screen shown in FIG. 5B further to the back side of the upper region and further to the front side of the lower region. This is a pseudo-tilted screen. For example, if the display content of the lower area is difficult to see even on the first tilted screen, the user can further move the upper area to the back side by further performing a two-point tap operation on the upper area (first area R1). It is possible to display a tilted screen in which the lower area is further moved to the front side. As shown in FIG. 6A, in the second tilted screen, the area below the first tilted screen is moved upward and enlarged in the vertical direction for display. Therefore, since the display is performed at an angle that is easy for the user to see, the display content of the lower area becomes easier to see.

When it is determined that there is no tilted screen having a tilted angle larger than the tilted screen being displayed (S15: NO), the control unit 11 returns to the process of step S11 and returns to the display on the original screen (S11). Here, since the tilted screen form having a large tilt angle is not stored in the screen DB 12b, the control unit 11 reads the original screen form for the information being displayed from the screen DB 12b and tilts the read original screen form to the read original screen form. The information displayed on the screen is assigned and displayed as appropriate. By the above-mentioned processing, each time a two-point tap operation is performed on the first region R1, a tilt screen in which the tilt angle in the first direction is gradually increased is displayed, and a tilt screen having the maximum tilt angle is being displayed. When a two-point tap operation is performed on the first area R1, the display is returned to the original screen and the information to be displayed is displayed.

When it is determined that the two-point tap operation for the first area R1 is not further accepted (S14: NO), or after the processing of step S16, the control unit 11 scrolls in the vertical direction or the horizontal direction via the touch panel 14. Is determined (S17). The control unit 11 (movement processing unit) can receive a scroll operation via the touch panel 14 while displaying the original screen and the tilted screen, and the received scroll instruction (scroll instruction in the vertical direction or the horizontal direction). Scroll the displayed screen according to (move the display position). When the control unit 11 determines that the scroll operation has been accepted (S17: YES), the control unit 11 displays the scroll process in the direction (vertical direction or left-right direction) corresponding to the accepted scroll operation on the screen (here, the tilted screen). This is performed, and the tilted screen being displayed is moved (S18). FIG. 6B shows an example of a screen in which the first tilted screen shown in FIG. 5B is scrolled upward, and by performing such scroll processing, the user wants to see the portion without changing the height of the line of sight. You can see the displayed contents of. The control unit 11 (magnification processing unit) can accept pinch operations (pinch-in and pinch-out) via the touch panel 14 while displaying the original screen and the tilted screen, and displays according to the received pinch operation. It is configured to perform scaling processing to enlarge or reduce the screen inside.

When it is determined that the scroll operation is not accepted (S17: NO), or after the processing of step S18, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the two-point tap operation for the area other than the first area R1 is accepted (S19). ). When it is determined that the two-point tap operation for the area other than the first area R1 has been accepted (S19: YES), the control unit 11 returns to the process of step S11 and returns to the display of the information on the original screen (S11). Therefore, when a tilted screen tilted in the first direction is displayed and a two-point tap operation is performed on an area other than the first area R1, the control unit 11 returns to the display of the original screen. When it is determined that the two-point tap operation for the area other than the first area R1 is not accepted (S19: NO), the control unit 11 returns to the process of step S14. The control unit 11 can accept operations such as button operation and character input via the touch panel 14 even while the tilt screen is displayed, and is configured to perform processing according to the accepted operation. ..

When the control unit 11 determines in step S12 that the two-point tap operation for the first area R1 of the original screen is not accepted (S12: NO), the second area R2 of the original screen (for example, the lower area R2) via the touch panel 14 ) Is accepted or not (S20). When the control unit 11 determines that the two-point tap operation for the second area R2 has been accepted (S20: YES), the control unit 11 displays the tilted screen in which the original screen is tilted in the second direction on the touch panel 14 (S21). Here, the control unit 11 (second display control unit) displays the form of the first tilted screen corresponding to the screen orientation (here, vertically long) and the tilting direction (here, the second direction) from the screen DB 12b in the information being displayed. The information displayed on the original screen is appropriately assigned and displayed on the read-out form of the first tilted screen. As a result, the information to be displayed is displayed on the touch panel 14 on the first tilted screen tilted in the second direction.

FIG. 7A shows an example of a first tilted screen in the second direction, and the first tilted screen shown in FIG. 7A moves the original screen shown in FIG. 5A from the upper region to the front side and the lower region to the back side. This is a pseudo-tilted screen. For example, when the user is performing a touch operation on the lower area of the original screen while checking the displayed contents, the analyzer 10 is close to the distance where the touch panel 14 can be operated. The display content in the upper area is difficult to see. Therefore, the user can display the tilted screen in which the upper region is moved to the front side and the lower region is moved to the back side by performing a two-point tap operation on the lower region (second region R2). As shown in FIG. 7A, on the first tilted screen in the second direction, the upper region, which was difficult to see on the original screen, moves downward and is displayed at an angle that is easy for the user to see. Further, in the first tilted screen in the second direction, since the screen is pseudo-tilted in the second direction, the area on the upper side of the screen moved to the front side is enlarged (stretched) in the vertical direction and displayed. Therefore, the user can easily see the display contents of the upper area without changing the height of the line of sight, for example.

In the analyzer 10 displaying the first tilted screen in the second direction, whether or not the control unit 11 further accepts the two-point tap operation for the second region R2 (lower region) in the first tilted screen via the touch panel 14. Is determined (S22). When it is determined that the two-point tap operation for the second region R2 is further accepted (S22: YES), the control unit 11 has a tilt angle in the second direction more than the tilt screen being displayed (here, the first tilt screen). It is determined whether or not there is a large tilt screen (here, a second tilt screen) (S23). Here, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the form of the tilted screen having a larger tilt angle in the second direction than the tilted screen being displayed is stored in the screen DB 12b.

When it is determined that there is a tilt screen having a larger tilt angle in the second direction than the tilt screen being displayed (S23: YES), the control unit 11 displays the tilt screen being displayed (here, the first tilt screen). A tilted screen further tilted in two directions is displayed on the touch panel 14 (S24). Here, in the information being displayed, the control unit 11 corresponds to the screen orientation (here, vertically long) and the tilting direction (here, the second direction), and is next to the tilting screen (here, the first tilting screen) being displayed. The form of the tilted screen (here, the second tilted screen) having a large tilt angle is read out from the screen DB 12b, and the information displayed on the first tilted screen is appropriately assigned and displayed on the read out form of the second tilted screen. As a result, the information to be displayed is displayed on the touch panel 14 on the second tilt screen.

FIG. 7B shows an example of a second tilted screen in the second direction, and the second tilted screen shown in FIG. 7B is the first tilted screen shown in FIG. 7A, with the upper region further toward the front and the lower region further toward the back. It is a screen that is tilted in a pseudo manner so that it can be moved to the side. For example, when the display content of the upper area is difficult to see even on the first tilted screen, the user further lowers the upper area to the front side by further performing a two-point tap operation on the lower area (second area R2). It is possible to display a tilted screen in which the area is further moved to the back side. As shown in FIG. 7B, in the second tilted screen, the area above the first tilted screen is moved downward and enlarged in the vertical direction for display. Therefore, since the display is performed at an angle that is easy for the user to see, the display content of the upper area becomes easier to see.

When it is determined that there is no tilt screen having a tilt angle larger in the second direction than the tilt screen being displayed (S23: NO), the control unit 11 returns to the process of step S11 and returns to the display of information on the original screen. (S11). By the above-mentioned processing, each time the two-point tap operation for the second area R2 is performed, the tilt screen in which the tilt angle in the second direction is gradually increased is displayed, and the tilt screen having the maximum tilt angle is being displayed. When a two-point tap operation is performed on the second area R2, the display returns to the original screen and the information to be displayed is displayed.

When it is determined that the two-point tap operation for the second area R2 is not further accepted (S22: NO), or after the processing of step S24, the control unit 11 scrolls in the vertical direction or the horizontal direction via the touch panel 14. Is determined (S25). When the control unit 11 determines that the scroll operation has been accepted (S25: YES), the control unit 11 displays the scroll process in the direction (vertical direction or left-right direction) corresponding to the accepted scroll operation (here, to the second direction). (Stilted screen), and the tilted screen being displayed is moved (S26). FIG. 8A shows an example of a screen in which the first tilted screen shown in FIG. 7A is scrolled downward, and by performing such scroll processing, the user wants to see the portion without changing the height of the line of sight. You can see the displayed contents of. Even in the tilted screen in the second direction, the control unit 11 can accept the pinch operation via the touch panel 14, and the tilted screen being displayed is enlarged or reduced according to the received pinch operation. Perform processing. FIG. 8B shows an example of a screen in which the upper area of the second tilted screen shown in FIG. 7B is enlarged, and by performing such an enlargement process, the user can surely see the displayed content of the desired portion. can.

When it is determined that the scroll operation is not accepted (S25: NO), or after the processing of step S26, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the two-point tap operation for the area other than the second area R2 is accepted (S27). ). When it is determined that the two-point tap operation for the area other than the second area R2 has been accepted (S27: YES), the control unit 11 returns to the process of step S11 and returns to the display of the information on the original screen (S11). Therefore, when a tilted screen tilted in the second direction is displayed and a two-point tap operation is performed on an area other than the second area R2, the control unit 11 returns to the display of the original screen. When it is determined that the two-point tap operation for the area other than the second area R2 is not accepted (S27: NO), the control unit 11 returns to the process of step S22. Also here, the control unit 11 can accept operations such as button operation and character input via the touch panel 14 on the tilted screen being displayed, and is configured to perform processing according to the accepted operation. Has been done.

When the control unit 11 determines in step S20 that the two-point tap operation for the second area R2 of the original screen is not accepted (S20: NO), the third area R3 of the original screen (for example, the central area) via the touch panel 14 ), It is determined whether or not the two-point tap operation is accepted (S28). When the control unit 11 determines that the two-point tap operation for the third area R3 has been accepted (S28: YES), the control unit 11 displays the folded screen in the folded state of the original screen on the touch panel 14 (S29). Here, the control unit 11 (third display control unit) reads the form of the folding screen corresponding to the screen orientation (here, vertically long) from the screen DB 12b in the information being displayed, and the read folding screen form is used as the original screen. The information displayed in is assigned and displayed as appropriate. As a result, the information to be displayed is displayed on the touch panel 14 on the folding screen.

FIG. 9 shows an example of a folding screen. In the folding screen shown in FIG. 9, the lower area (a part of the display area) is displayed on the front side of the original screen shown in FIG. 5A, and the other areas are on the front side. It is a folded screen so that the top area (a part of the folded area) is displayed in a state of protruding from the front. In this way, by displaying the portion that is not displayed on the front surface in a state of protruding from the front surface, the user can know that there is an area that is hidden on the front surface and is not displayed. In the folding screen, which area is displayed on the front side, which area is projected to the back side, and the like are set in advance, and are stored in the screen DB 12b as a form of the folding screen. For example, when the user touches the central area of the original screen while checking the displayed contents, the displayed contents of the upper area and the lower area are difficult to see on the large touch panel 14. ing. Therefore, the user performs a two-point tap operation on the central area (third area R3), so that a preset area (lower area in the example shown in FIG. 9) is displayed in the center of the screen. The folding screen can be displayed. As shown in FIG. 9, on the folding screen, the lower area, which was difficult to see on the original screen, moves to the center, so that the user can display the contents of the lower area without changing the height of the line of sight. Is displayed for easy viewing.

Even during the display of the folding screen, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the scroll operation in the vertical direction or the horizontal direction is accepted via the touch panel 14 (S30). When the control unit 11 determines that the scroll operation has been accepted (S30: YES), the control unit 11 performs scroll processing in the direction (vertical direction or left-right direction) corresponding to the accepted scroll operation on the displayed folding screen, and is displaying the scroll operation. The folding screen is moved (S31). As a result, even on the folded screen, the scrolling process allows the user to reliably see the displayed content of the desired portion without changing the height of the line of sight. Further, also on the folding screen, the control unit 11 can accept the pinch operation via the touch panel 14, and performs the scaling process to enlarge or reduce the folding screen being displayed according to the received pinch operation. It is configured.

When it is determined that the scroll operation is not accepted (S30: NO), or after the processing of step S31, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the two-point tap operation for all the regions including the third region R3 is accepted ( S32). When it is determined that the two-point tap operation for the entire area has been accepted (S32: YES), the control unit 11 returns to the process of step S11 and returns to the display of the information on the original screen (S11). Therefore, when the two-point tap operation is performed while the folding screen is displayed, the control unit 11 returns to the display of the original screen. When it is determined that the two-point tap operation for the entire area is not accepted (S32: NO), the control unit 11 returns to the process of step S30. Also here, the control unit 11 can accept operations such as button operation and character input via the touch panel 14 on the displayed folding screen, and is configured to perform processing according to the accepted operation. Has been done.

When the control unit 11 determines in step S28 that the two-point tap operation for the third area R3 of the original screen is not accepted (S28: NO), for example, the control unit 11 gives an instruction to end the display process by the analyzer 10 via the touch panel 14. It is determined whether or not the acceptance has been made (S33). When it is determined that the end instruction has not been accepted (S33: NO), the control unit 11 returns to the process of step S12, and when it is determined that the end instruction has been accepted (S33: YES), the process ends. By the above-described processing, in the present embodiment, when performing a touch operation while displaying various information on the large touch panel 14, it is possible to easily display the contents displayed in the hard-to-see area. Therefore, the user visually recognizes the display content of the hard-to-see area (upper area or lower area) without moving the direction of the line of sight or the height (position) of the line of sight up and down with respect to the large touch panel 14. It becomes possible. Therefore, it is possible to improve the visibility and operability of the touch panel 14 of the analyzer 10.

In the above description, the case where the touch panel 14 is used in the vertically long state has been described, but the same processing can be performed even when the touch panel 14 is used in the horizontally long state. Specifically, when the touch panel 14 is used in a horizontally long state, the control unit 11 displays the original screen as shown in FIG. 10A on the touch panel 14 in step S11. At this time, the control unit 11 reads the horizontally long original screen form corresponding to the information to be displayed from the screen DB 12b, and assigns and displays the information read from the various information DB 12a to the read original screen form. The horizontally long original screen shown in FIG. 10A also has a menu bar 20, and the menu bar 20 is provided with a home button 21, a setting button 22, and the like.

In the analyzer 10 of the present embodiment, when the touch panel 14 is used in a horizontally long state, a two-point tap operation is performed on a predetermined first region R1 (for example, the left region) on the original screen. , The original screen is configured to be tilted in the first direction for display. The first direction here is an inclination direction in which the left region of the original screen moves to the back side and the right region moves to the front side in a pseudo manner. Further, the analyzer 10 is configured to display the original screen tilted in the second direction when a two-point tap operation is performed on a predetermined second region R2 (for example, the right region) on the original screen. ing. The second direction here is an inclination direction in which the left region of the original screen moves toward the front side and the right region moves toward the back side. Further, the analyzer 10 is configured to display the original screen in a folded state when a two-point tap operation is performed on a predetermined third region R3 (for example, the central region) on the original screen.

Therefore, when the touch panel 14 is used in the horizontally long state, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the two-point tap operation for the left region (first region R1) on the original screen has been accepted (S12), and accepts the touch panel 14. When it is determined that the original screen is tilted in the first direction (S12: YES), the tilted screen in which the original screen is tilted in the first direction is displayed on the touch panel 14 (S13). Here, the control unit 11 reads out from the screen DB 12b the form of the first tilted screen corresponding to the screen orientation (horizontally long in this case) and the tilting direction (first direction in this case) in the displayed information, and the first tilting read out. The information displayed on the original screen is appropriately assigned and displayed on the screen form. As a result, as shown in FIG. 10B, the information to be displayed is displayed on the touch panel 14 on the first tilt screen that is pseudo-tilted in the first direction.

For example, when the user touches the area on the left side of the original screen while checking the display content, the display content on the right side of the large touch panel 14 is difficult to see. Therefore, the user can display a tilted screen in which the left region is moved to the back side and the right region is moved to the front side by performing a two-point tap operation on the left region (first region R1). can. As shown in FIG. 10B, on the first tilted screen, the area on the right side, which was difficult to see on the original screen, moves to the left side and is displayed at an angle that is easy for the user to see. Further, in the first tilted screen shown in FIG. 10B, since the horizontally long original screen is pseudo-tilted in the first direction, the area on the right side of the screen moved to the front side is enlarged (stretched) in the left-right direction. )Is displayed. Therefore, the display content of the area on the right side can be displayed in an easy-to-see manner without the user moving the line-of-sight direction significantly to the left or right.

Further, in step S20, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the two-point tap operation for the right portion region (second region R2) on the original screen has been accepted (S20), and if it is determined that the two-point tap operation has been accepted (S20: YES). ), The tilted screen in which the original screen is tilted in the second direction is displayed on the touch panel 14 (S21). Here, the control unit 11 reads out from the screen DB 12b the form of the first tilted screen corresponding to the screen orientation (horizontally long in this case) and the tilting direction (second direction in this case) in the displayed information, and the first tilting read out. The information displayed on the original screen is appropriately assigned and displayed on the screen form. As a result, as shown in FIG. 11A, the information to be displayed is displayed on the touch panel 14 on the first tilt screen that is pseudo-tilted in the second direction.

For example, when the user touches the area on the right side of the original screen while checking the display content, the display content on the left side of the large touch panel 14 is difficult to see. Therefore, the user can display a tilted screen in which the left region is moved to the front side and the right region is moved to the back side by performing a two-point tap operation on the right region (second region R2). can. As shown in FIG. 11A, on the first tilted screen, the area on the left side, which was difficult to see on the original screen, moves to the right side and is enlarged and displayed in the left-right direction. Therefore, the display content of the left area can be displayed in an easy-to-see manner without the user moving the line-of-sight direction significantly to the left or right.

Further, in step S28, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the two-point tap operation for the central region (third region R3) on the original screen has been accepted (S28), and when it is determined that the two-point tap operation has been accepted (S28: YES). , The folded screen in the folded state of the original screen is displayed on the touch panel 14 (S29). Here, the control unit 11 reads the form of the folding screen corresponding to the screen orientation (here, horizontally long) from the screen DB 12b in the displayed information, and displays the information displayed on the original screen on the read folding screen form. Assign and display as appropriate. As a result, as shown in FIG. 11B, the information to be displayed is displayed on the touch panel 14 on the folding screen.

For example, when the user touches the central area of the original screen while checking the displayed contents, the displayed contents of the left area and the right area become difficult to see on the large touch panel 14. There is. Therefore, the user performs a two-point tap operation on the central area (third area R3) so that the preset area (the area on the right side in the example shown in FIG. 11B) is displayed in the center of the screen. The screen can be displayed. As shown in FIG. 11B, on the folded screen, the area on the right side, which was difficult to see on the original screen, moves to the center, so that the user can easily see the displayed contents of the area on the right side without moving the line-of-sight direction to the left or right. Can be displayed.

In addition, even in the horizontally long tilted screen, a form of the tilted screen at a plurality of tilt angles is prepared for each of the first direction and the second direction, and the first region R1 (left region) or the second region is prepared. Each time a two-point tap operation is performed on R2 (right region), a tilt screen in which the tilt angle in the first direction or the second direction is gradually increased is displayed. Further, when a two-point tap operation is performed on the first region R1 or the second region R2 while the tilt screen having the maximum tilt angle is displayed, the display is returned to the original screen and the information to be displayed is displayed. Further, scrolling and pinching operations are also possible on the horizontally long original screen, tilted screen, and folding screen, and when the scrolling operation is performed, the control unit 11 scrolls the displayed screen and the pinch operation is performed. If this is done, scaling processing is performed to enlarge or reduce the displayed screen. Further, even on the horizontally long tilted screen and the folded screen, operations such as button operation and character input can be performed via the touch panel 14, and the control unit 11 performs processing according to the received operation.

As described above, even when the touch panel 14 is used in a horizontally long state, when the user touch-operates the large touch panel 14, the contents displayed in the hard-to-see area can be displayed in an easy-to-see manner. It becomes. Therefore, the user can visually recognize the display contents of the hard-to-see area (left area or right area) without moving the direction of the line of sight to the left or right with respect to the large touch panel 14. Therefore, even when the touch panel 14 is used in a horizontally long state, it is possible to improve the visibility and operability of the touch panel 14 of the analyzer 10.

In the present embodiment, it is possible to change the display mode so that the display content of the area that is difficult for the user to see while operating the large touch panel 14 can be easily seen. Therefore, the user can easily see the content displayed in the hard-to-see area without moving the line-of-sight direction or the line-of-sight height with respect to the large touch panel 14 in the vertical direction or the horizontal direction. Improvement of efficiency can be expected. When using a large monitor or touch panel, the angle of the screen may be physically tilted to make it easier for the user to see. However, in such a case, since it is necessary to secure a space for changing the angle of the screen, the installation location is restricted and it may not be possible to tilt to the optimum angle. In addition, when used by multiple people, it is troublesome to adjust the screen orientation to the optimum state for each user, and in the case of a large monitor or touch panel, adjusting the orientation itself may be dangerous. .. Further, when the screen is physically tilted, there arises a problem that it becomes difficult to operate the touch panel with respect to the region tilted in the direction away from the user. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the burden on the user is increased by making the display state of the screen pseudo-tilted or folded instead of physically tilting the orientation of the screen. A touch panel with good visibility and operability can be realized by simple operation. In the present embodiment, since the physical distance between the user and the touch panel 14 does not change, the operation of the touch panel 14 does not become difficult, and the operability can be improved.

In the present embodiment, the operation for switching from the display of the original screen to the display of the tilted screen or the folding screen is not limited to the two-point tap operation on the touch panel 14, and various operations that can be operated on the touch panel 14 are used. Can be done. For example, a long-press operation in which the touch operation is continued for a predetermined time or longer, a multi-tap operation (multi-touch operation) in which three or more points are touched at the same time, a tap operation a predetermined number of times, or the like may be used. It may be provided in (input unit 15). Further, the switching from the original screen to the tilted screen may be performed stepwise, or may be performed continuously. In this case, for example, while the two-point tap operation is continuously performed on the first area R1 of the original screen shown in FIG. 5A (that is, when the two-point tap operation is long-pressed), the two-point tap operation is continuously performed. The tilt angle may be increased to display the tilt screen at the tilt angle when the two-point tap operation is completed. With such a configuration, the user can display a tilted screen on which each information is displayed in a state that is easy for the user to see, and visibility and operability are improved.

The configuration of this embodiment can be applied to any display screen. FIG. 12 is a schematic view showing another screen example. FIG. 12A shows a screen example of a two-screen display in which two different pieces of information are displayed at the same time. Even in such a two-screen display screen, the first area R1 (upper area) or the second area R2 (lower part) is shown. The tilted screen can be displayed by performing the two-point tap operation on the area), and the folding screen can be displayed by performing the second tap operation on the third area R3 (center area). For example, in the original screen of the two-screen display shown in FIG. 12A, when a two-point tap operation is performed on the first area R1 (upper area), as shown in FIG. 12B, the area on the upper side of the screen is on the back side and the area on the lower side is on the back side. It is possible to display a tilted screen in which the area is moved to the front side in a pseudo manner. On the two-screen display screen, two types of information stored in the various information DB 12a can be displayed on the upper screen 30 and the lower screen 31, respectively. For example, a screen for displaying reagent information about a reagent installed in the analyzer 10, a screen for displaying reception information about a sample to be analyzed by the analyzer 10, a screen for displaying information about an error generated in the analyzer 10, and a screen for the analyzer 10. It is possible to combine two of a display screen of information on settable parameters, a result screen of analysis processing by the analysis unit 17, and the like, and display each of them on the upper screen 30 and the lower screen 31. The display screen is not limited to the two-screen display, and the same processing can be performed even if the display screen is in a state where three or more pieces of information are displayed.

In the present embodiment, on the vertically long original screen as shown in FIG. 5A, a tilted screen is displayed so that the upper region moves to the back side when a two-point tap operation is performed on the upper region, and FIG. 10A shows. In the horizontally long original screen as shown, a tilted screen was displayed in which the left region moves to the back side when a two-point tap operation is performed on the left region. In addition to this, even if the original screen is vertically long, a tilted screen may be displayed so that the left area moves to the back side when a two-point tap operation is performed on the left area. Even if it is the original screen, a tilted screen may be displayed so that the upper area moves to the back side when a two-point tap operation is performed on the upper area.

In the present embodiment, whether the touch panel 14 is used in a vertically long state or in a horizontally long state may be determined by, for example, an acceleration sensor (not shown) provided on the touch panel 14. Further, the usage state of the touch panel 14 may be determined based on the state of the mounting arm provided on the outer surface of the housing, or the input of the usage state may be received from the user via the input unit 15. By performing the above-described processing based on the usage state (portrait or landscape) of the touch panel 14 determined in this way, it is possible to appropriately display the tilted screen and the folded screen for portrait or landscape.

The embodiments disclosed this time should be considered as exemplary in all respects and not restrictive. The scope of the present disclosure is expressed by the scope of claims, not the above-mentioned meaning, and is intended to include all modifications within the meaning and scope equivalent to the scope of claims.
