For example, when a map application is executed as an application program, a map, guidance information, or the like can be displayed on the display screen 11 in response to a user input operation.

A touch panel 11a for detecting a contact operation of a user's finger or the like is superposed on the display screen 11, and the above input operation is accepted by the touch panel 11a. The input operation is also accepted by the push button switch 12. Although one push button switch 12 is shown on the side surface side with respect to the display screen 11, there may be a plurality of push button switches 12.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a functional configuration of the electronic clock 1.
The electronic clock 1 includes a CPU 31 (Central Processing Unit) (display control unit, display control means), a memory 32, a display unit 33, an operation reception unit 34, an oscillation circuit 35, a frequency dividing circuit 36, and a timekeeping circuit. A 37, a communication unit 38, a satellite radio wave reception processing unit 39, and the like are provided. Of these, the display device 2 is composed of the CPU 31, the memory 32, the display unit 33, and the operation reception unit 34.

The CPU 31 is a processor that performs various arithmetic processes and controls the operation of each part of the electronic clock 1. The CPU 31 performs various control operations by reading and executing the program 321 stored in the memory 32. The CPU 31 as a display control unit can switch the display content on the display screen 11 or display the information received by the communication unit 38 based on the operation content received by the operation reception unit 34.

The memory 32 provides a working memory space to the CPU 31 and stores various data. The memory 32 includes, for example, a RAM (Random Access Memory) and a non-volatile memory. The RAM is used for arithmetic processing of the CPU 31, and also stores temporary data. The non-volatile memory is, for example, a flash memory, which stores various data in addition to the program 321. The data stored in the memory 32 includes map data 322 and setting data 323.

The program 321 includes an OS (Operating System) and various application programs.
Of these, the OS is core software that controls each hardware such as the display unit 33, manages the process executed by the CPU 31, manages the storage area in the memory 32, provides a basic interface to the application program, and the like.
An application program is a program that executes processing according to the purpose peculiar to the application program, such as displaying a map, sending / receiving e-mails, and managing schedules and tasks, and displays the result on a display screen. Some application programs are stored in the memory 32 at the time of shipment, and some are acquired (downloaded) by the communication unit 38 and registered in the memory 32 according to a user's instruction. The electronic clock 1 of the present embodiment includes a map application that displays a map, guidance information, and the like in response to a user input operation.

The map data 322 is data that is referred to when the map application is executed. As for the map data 322, necessary area data may be acquired by the communication unit 38 each time according to the operation of the map application.

The setting data 323 includes, for example, settings related to various notifications to be displayed on the display screen 11, identification information of an external device paired with the electronic clock 1 by short-range wireless communication, image data of operation buttons to be displayed on the display screen 11. The initial settings of the display area are included.

The display unit 33 includes a display screen 11 and digitally displays on the display screen 11 under the control of the CPU 31. Here, the display screen 11 can display in a dot matrix format, and is, for example, a liquid crystal display screen or an organic EL (Electro-Luminescent) screen.

The operation reception unit 34 receives an input operation from the outside such as a user and outputs it to the CPU 31 as an input signal. The operation reception unit 34 includes a touch panel 11a provided so as to overlap the display screen 11 of the display unit 33, a push button switch 12, and the like.

The oscillation circuit 35 generates a clock signal having a predetermined oscillation frequency and outputs it to the frequency dividing circuit 36. The frequency dividing circuit 36 divides the clock signal input from the oscillation circuit 35, converts the clock signal into frequencies necessary for the operation of each part of the electronic clock 1, and outputs the frequency. The clock circuit 37 is included in the output destination of the signal divided by the frequency dividing circuit 36.

The timekeeping circuit 37 counts signals of a predetermined frequency input from the frequency dividing circuit 36 to count and hold the current date and time. The date and time format held by the timekeeping circuit 37 is not limited to the date and time represented by the year, month, day, hour, minute, and second, and may be an appropriate format suitable for processing such as the CPU 31. It should be noted that the electronic clock 1 may be able to acquire an accurate date and time from the outside by the communication unit 38 and / or the satellite radio wave reception processing unit 39, and correct the deviation of the date and time counted by the timekeeping circuit 37.

The communication unit 38 executes and controls data transmission / reception (communication) with an external device. Here, the communication unit 38 performs short-range wireless communication with the smartphone to be paired by Bluetooth (registered trademark) or the like.

The satellite radio wave reception processing unit 39 is a module that receives radio waves transmitted from a positioning satellite, performs calculations, and calculates the current position and the date and time. The satellite radio wave reception processing unit 39 calculates the current position and the date and time based on the command of the CPU 31, and outputs the result to the CPU 31.

Next, the operation of the electronic clock 1 will be described focusing on the display operation of the display screen 11 when the map application is executed.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a display screen 11 when the map application is executed.
When the map application is executed, the map MP in a predetermined distance range centered on the current position is displayed on the display screen 11, and a plurality of operation buttons 41 and 42 (operation signs, operation interfaces) are superimposed on the map MP. Is displayed. That is, the CPU 31 executes various processes according to the map application, so that the display unit 33 performs a display operation for displaying the map MP and the operation buttons 41 and 42 overlapping the map MP. The operation buttons 41 and 42 are signs that are the targets of various input operations related to the operation of the map application. When the touch panel 11a detects a contact operation (input operation) in the area of the operation buttons 41 and 42, the process corresponding to the operation buttons 41 and 42 on which the contact operation is performed is executed. Here, the processing corresponding to the operation buttons 41 and 42 is, for example, calling a function such as enlargement / reduction of the map MP and route guidance. Although two operation buttons 41 and 42 are illustrated in FIG. 3, the number of operation buttons may be one or three or more. Further, the shapes of the operation buttons 41 and 42 are not limited to rectangles, and the sizes may be different from each other. The operation buttons 41 and 42 are usually displayed at predetermined initial positions set in the setting data 323.

In the map application, by calling and executing the route guidance function, the route from the current location to the destination specified by the user and the guidance information including the accompanying information accompanying the route are displayed on the map MP. Can be done. The guidance information is not limited to the route from the current location to the destination specified by the user and the accompanying information accompanying the route, but may be information about the building displayed on the map, a place name, or the like. ..
However, since the size of the display area of the display screen 11 of the electronic clock 1 is limited, a part of the guidance information is hidden by the operation buttons 41 and 42 while the operation buttons 41 and 42 are displayed at the initial positions. Guidance information may be difficult to read.

Therefore, the electronic clock 1 of the present embodiment can automatically adjust the display positions of the operation buttons 41 and 42 to positions that do not overlap with the guidance information. Hereinafter, the operation of adjusting the display positions of the operation buttons 41 and 42 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing a control procedure of the guidance information display process by the CPU 31.
The guidance information display process is executed when the map application is started.
When the guidance information display process is started, the CPU 31 displays the map MP around the current position on the display screen 11 at a predetermined scale (step S101). Here, the CPU 31 acquires the latitude and longitude of the current position from the satellite radio wave reception processing unit 39, and displays the map MP on the display screen 11 based on the data around the current position in the map data 322.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing the contents of the map data 322 referred to in the display of the map MP.
The map data 322 includes image data representing the map MP and latitude / longitude data indicating the latitude and longitude of each point on the map MP. In FIG. 5, for convenience of explanation, numerical values of latitude and longitude indicated by latitude / longitude data are also shown on the image data of the map MP. In the process of step S101, the CPU 31 extracts the data within the predetermined distance range centered on the current position from the image data of the map MP based on the acquired latitude and longitude of the current position and displays it on the display screen 11. Let me. The above distance range is determined according to a preset scale of the map.

The CPU 31 displays the operation buttons 41 and 42 at the initial positions in the display screen 11 (step S102 in FIG. 4). Here, the CPU 31 acquires the image data and the initial position of the operation buttons 41 and 42 from the setting data 323, and displays the operation buttons 41 and 42 on the map MP.

FIG. 6 is a diagram showing initial positions of the operation buttons 41 and 42.
In FIG. 6, the display area corresponding to the initial position of the operation buttons 41 and 42 is shown on the display area coordinates of the display screen 11. Here, the display area coordinates indicate the positions of the pixels arranged in a matrix on the display screen 11 in XY coordinates. Here, the pixel in the lower left corner of FIG. 6 is the origin, the right direction of FIG. 6 is the X direction, and the upward direction is the Y direction. In FIG. 6, the number of pixels in the X direction and the Y direction is 200, and the coordinates of the pixels in the upper right corner are (200, 200). The number of pixels of the display screen 11 in FIG. 6 is an example, and can be appropriately changed according to the specifications of the electronic clock 1.

As shown in FIG. 6, the display area Ra corresponding to the initial position of the operation button 41 has points A1 (155,75) and points A4 (200,120) as opposite vertices, and each side is in the X direction or the Y direction. It is a parallel rectangle. The initial position of the operation button 41 can be represented by a predetermined point in the display area Ra, for example, an intersection of diagonal lines.
Further, the display area Rb corresponding to the initial position of the operation button 42 is a rectangle with points B1 (155, 20) and A4 (200, 65) as opposite vertices, and each side is parallel to the X direction or the Y direction. .. The initial position of the operation button 42 can be represented by a predetermined point in the display area Rb, for example, an intersection of diagonal lines.
The display areas Ra and Rb correspond to the "first display area".

The coordinate data (first data) of the points A1, the point A4, the point B1 and the point B4 are stored in the set data 323 in advance. The CPU 31 acquires the coordinate data of the points A1, A4, B1 and B4 from the setting data 323, displays the operation button 41 in the display area Ra, and displays the operation button 42 in the display area Rb. As a result, the display screen 11 is in the state shown in FIG.

When an input operation is performed on the operation buttons 41 and 42, the CPU 31 reads necessary data out of the map data 322 from the memory 32 in response to the input operation, and obtains a map MP of the area specified by the input operation. It is displayed on the display screen 11 (step S103 in FIG. 4). For example, when the operation button 41 is a button for reducing the map MP, the data in the scale range specified by the input operation for the operation button 41 is acquired from the map data 322 and displayed on the display screen 11.

The CPU 31 determines whether or not the user has instructed to display the guidance information (step S104). Here, as the guidance information, the information of the route guidance from the current location to the destination specified by the user will be described as an example. If it is determined that the guidance information display instruction has not been given (“NO” in step S104), the CPU 31 returns the process to step S103.

When it is determined that the guidance information display instruction has been given (“YES” in step S104), the CPU 31 searches for and identifies the route from the current location to the destination (step S105). The route search method is not particularly limited. Here, the CPU 31 performs a process of specifying a route connecting the current location and the destination with the shortest distance in the road network recognized on the map data 322.

FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of the identified route 51.
Here, it is assumed that the route 51 from the current location point P1 to the destination point P4 via the points P2 and P3 is specified on the map data 322. The points P1 to P4 are represented by latitude and longitude on the map data 322.

The CPU 31 converts the latitude and longitude of the points P1 to P4 of the route 51 into display area coordinates (step S106 in FIG. 4).

FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating a method of converting the latitude and longitude of each point of the route 51 into display area coordinates.
FIG. 8 shows the arrangement position of the route 51 on the display screen 11 when the searched route 51 is displayed and reflected on the map MP displayed on the display screen 11. The CPU 31 converts the latitude and longitude of the points P1 to P4 of the route 51 into display area coordinates based on the arrangement position of the route 51. For example, the latitude and longitude (35.7740, 139.328) of the point P1 are converted into the display area coordinates (100, 100). The same applies to points P2 to P4.

The CPU 31 acquires the display area coordinates indicating the display area of the incidental information 52 on the display screen 11 (step S107 in FIG. 4).
In the route guidance, in addition to the route 51, the accompanying information 52 associated with the route 51 is displayed on the map MP. In FIG. 8, the display schedule position of the accompanying information 52 displayed accompanying the route 51 is also shown. The accompanying information 52 in FIG. 8 is a rectangular sign indicating the current location and two rectangular signs indicating the name of the intersection on the route 51. The guidance information 50 is composed of the linear route 51 and the accompanying information 52 which is a rectangular sign. The accompanying information 52 is not limited to the name indicating the current location and the name of the intersection, and may include the name of the road included in the route 51, the name of a facility or a store in the vicinity of the route 51, and the like. In the following, the combined display area of the route 51 and the display area of the accompanying information 52 will be referred to as the display area Rc of the guidance information 50. The display area Rc corresponds to the "second display area".
The display area coordinates of the incidental information 52 acquired in step S107 can be, for example, the coordinates of the vertices of the display area of the incidental information 52. The coordinate data of the points P1 to P4 of the route 51 and the coordinate data of the pair vertices of the accompanying information 52 correspond to the "second data".

The CPU 31 determines whether or not the display areas Ra and Rb of the operation buttons 41 and 42 overlap with the display area Rc of the guidance information 50 (step S108 in FIG. 4). That is, the CPU 31 operates the route 51 and / or the incidental information 52 based on the positions of the points P1 to P4 converted into the display area coordinates in step S106 and the display area of the incidental information 52 specified in step S107. It is determined whether or not it overlaps with at least a part of the display area Ra and / or the display area Rb of the operation button 42 of the button 41. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 8, the section of the route 51 from the point P2 to the point P3 overlaps a part of the display area Ra of the operation button 41. Further, the section of the route 51 from the point P3 to the point P4 overlaps a part of the display area Rb of the operation button 42. Further, the accompanying information 52 indicating the “R intersection” overlaps with a part of the display area Ra of the operation button 41.

When it is determined that the operation buttons 41 and 42 overlap with the route 51 (“YES” in step S108 in FIG. 4), the CPU 31 displays the display areas Ra and Rb of the operation buttons 41 and 42 as guidance information. Change so that it does not overlap with 50 (step S109).

FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of the changed positions of the display areas Ra and Rb of the operation buttons 41 and 42.
In FIG. 9, the display area Ra after the position change is a rectangle having the points Am1 (155,165) and the points Am4 (200,200) as opposite vertices, and the display area Rb after the position change is the point Bm1. It is a rectangle having (155,120) and a point Bm4 (200,155) as vertices. As described above, in the example of FIG. 9, the display areas Ra and Rb of the operation buttons 41 and 42 are moved in the + Y direction so that the operation buttons 41 and 42 do not overlap with the route 51 and the accompanying information 52. The CPU 31 stores the coordinate data of the changed points Am1, point Am4, point Bm1 and point Bm4 in the setting data 323.

When the process of step S109 is completed, or when it is determined in the process of step S108 that the operation buttons 41 and 42 do not overlap with the route 51 (“NO” in step S108), the CPU 31 displays the display screen 11. The operation buttons 41 and 42 and the guidance information 50 are displayed on the map MP of the above (step S110).

FIG. 10 is a diagram showing a display screen 11 on which the guidance information 50 and the operation buttons 41 and 42 after the position change are displayed.
As shown in FIG. 10, the display screen 11 reflects and displays the guidance information 50 including the route 51 and the accompanying information 52 on the map MP, and operates at the position changed in step S109 (FIG. 9). Buttons 41 and 42 are displayed. As a result, the operation buttons 41 and 42 are displayed at positions that do not overlap with the route 51 and the accompanying information 52.
When the process of step S110 is completed, the CPU 31 ends the guidance information display process. Of the above, steps S105 to S110 correspond to the "display step".

(Modification example)
Next, a modified example of the above embodiment will be described.
In the above embodiment, when the operation buttons 41 and 42 and the guidance information 50 overlap, the display position of the operation buttons 41 and 42 is changed, but instead, the position of the guidance information 50 may be changed.

FIG. 11 is a diagram showing an example of a display mode of guidance information according to this modified example.
In this modification, when it is determined that the operation buttons 41 and 42 and the guidance information 50 overlap as shown in FIG. 8, the display position of the guidance information 50 is shifted to the left side of FIG. , 42 and the guidance information 50 are adjusted so as not to overlap. In addition, the display position of the map MP is also changed as the guidance information 50 moves. FIG. 11 shows a state in which the guidance information 50 and the map MP are displayed at the positions changed in this way. Due to the movement of the guidance information 50 and the map MP, the guidance information 50 and the operation buttons 41 and 42 do not overlap.
Instead of the above, the guidance information 50 and the operation buttons 41 and 42 may not overlap by adjusting the display positions of both the operation buttons 41 and 42 and the guidance information 50.

As described above, the display device 2 according to the present embodiment includes the display unit 33 and the CPU 31, and the CPU 31 includes the map MP, the operation buttons 41 and 42 that overlap the map MP and are the targets of the input operation. Is performed by the display unit 33, and when the guidance information 50 is displayed on the map MP, the display operation is performed so that the operation buttons 41 and 42 are displayed at positions avoiding the guidance information 50. (Display control unit). As a result, the operation buttons 41 and 42 can be displayed so as not to overlap with the guidance information 50 including the route 51 and the accompanying information 52 on the map MP. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the guidance information 50 from being hidden by the operation buttons 41 and 42 and becoming difficult to see, and it is possible to display the necessary operation buttons 41 and 42 on the map MP. Therefore, the visibility of the guidance information 50 and the operability of the operation buttons 41 and 42 can be compatible with each other. In addition, the visibility of the map MP and the guidance information 50 can be improved.

Further, the CPU 31 acquires the coordinate data indicating the display areas Ra and Rb of the operation buttons 41 and 42 on the display unit 33 and the coordinate data indicating the display area Rc of the guidance information 50 on the display unit 33, and the acquired data. When it is determined that the display areas Ra and Rb and the display area Rc overlap at least partially based on the above, the operation buttons 41 and 42 and the guidance information 50 are prevented so that the display areas Ra and Rb and the display area Rc do not overlap. Adjust the display position of at least one of (display control unit). Thereby, it is possible to determine whether or not the display areas Ra and Rb of the operation buttons 41 and 42 overlap with the display area Rc of the guidance information 50 by a simple process for processing the coordinate data. Therefore, the processing load of the CPU 31 can be suppressed to the minimum necessary.

Further, the guidance information 50 includes a route 51 displayed in a linear shape. According to this, it is possible to display the entire linear route 51 in a state where it does not overlap with the operation buttons 41 and 42, so that the user can easily see the route 51.

Further, when the operation buttons 41 and 42 displayed at the predetermined initial positions and the guidance information 50 to be displayed overlap, the CPU 31 operates so that the operation buttons 41 and 42 and the guidance information 50 do not overlap. The display position of the buttons 41 and 42 is changed from the initial position (display control unit). As a result, the operation buttons 41 and 42 can be displayed at a position that does not overlap with the guidance information 50 while displaying the guidance information 50 at a position that is easy to see.

Further, in the above modification, when the operation buttons 41 and 42 displayed at a predetermined initial position and the guidance information 50 to be displayed overlap with each other, the CPU 31 causes the operation buttons 41 and 42 and the guidance information 50 to overlap. The display position of the guidance information 50 is adjusted so as not to overlap (display control unit). As a result, the guidance information 50 can be displayed at a position that does not overlap with the operation buttons 41 and 42 while displaying the operation buttons 41 and 42 at a position that is easy to operate (for example, an initial position).

Further, the electronic clock 1 according to the present embodiment includes the above-mentioned display device 2. As a result, in the electronic clock 1 in which the display area of the display screen 11 is limited, the visibility of the guidance information 50 and the operability of the operation buttons 41 and 42 can be compatible with each other. In addition, the visibility of the map MP and the guidance information 50 can be improved.

Further, the display method in the display device 2 according to the present embodiment is a display in which the display unit 33 performs a display operation for displaying the map MP and the operation buttons 41 and 42 that overlap the map MP and are the targets of the input operation. In the display step including the step, when the guidance information 50 is displayed on the map MP, the display operation is performed so that the operation buttons 41 and 42 are displayed at positions avoiding the guidance information 50. As a result, it is possible to prevent the guidance information 50 from being hidden by the operation buttons 41 and 42 and becoming difficult to see, and it is possible to display the necessary operation buttons 41 and 42 on the map MP. Therefore, the visibility of the guidance information 50 and the operability of the operation buttons 41 and 42 can be compatible with each other. In addition, the visibility of the map MP and the guidance information 50 can be improved.

Further, in the program 321 according to the present embodiment, the CPU 31 as a computer provided in the display device 2 provided with the display unit 33 is overlapped with the map MP and the operation buttons 41 and 42 which are the targets of the input operation. The display control means functions as a display control means for causing the display unit 33 to perform a display operation for displaying, and the display control means operates a button 41 at a position avoiding the guidance information 50 when displaying the guidance information 50 on the map MP. , 42 is displayed so that the display operation is performed. By operating the display device 2 by such a program, it is possible to prevent the guidance information 50 from being hidden by the operation buttons 41 and 42 and becoming difficult to see, and the necessary operation buttons 41 and 42 are displayed on the map MP. Can be made to. Therefore, the visibility of the guidance information 50 and the operability of the operation buttons 41 and 42 can be compatible with each other.
