Description

The present invention relates to an electronic device provided with a display, such as a graph scientific calculator, a display method using the display, and a program.

Conventionally, a graph scientific calculator is a calculator capable of drawing a graph, calculating simultaneous equations, and performing calculations using variables. This kind of graph scientific calculator has a display, from which a multi-line text or a graph of calculation results can be displayed.

Since the graph scientific calculator has a display in this way, it has been considered to be used for programming education in recent years.

Assuming that the graph scientific calculator is used for programming education, it can be used as a device for learning algorithms, for example, as an application of the graph scientific calculator. In the case of this application, the graph scientific calculator may be configured so that the mode can be switched from the calculation mode for executing the calculation to the mode for learning the algorithm (hereinafter referred to as "algorithm mode").

In the algorithm mode, for example, if the avatar is displayed on the display, the avatar is moved according to the movement amount input by the user, or a figure is drawn on the locus, so that the user can learn the algorithm. good.

However, when displaying an avatar on a display in a graph scientific calculator, there are the following problems.

That is, the size of the display of a graph scientific calculator is generally relatively small. Therefore, if the amount of movement for moving the avatar is large, the avatar may go out of the display range of the display.

When the avatar goes out of the display range of the display, the avatar disappears from the display, and the user cannot confirm where the avatar has moved according to the input movement amount. This hinders the realization of efficient learning of the algorithm.

To prevent the avatar from going out of range of the display and disappearing from the display, do not move the avatar, for example, as is done in role-playing games, instead, for example, axes and graphs. It is conceivable to move the background screen such as.

However, in order to move the background screen, you have to save several background screens of the avatar in the memory. Furthermore, when a graph or figure is drawn with an avatar, the drawing data must also be saved in memory. Therefore, a large amount of memory is required.

However, since the capacity of the memory that can be installed in the graph scientific calculator is limited, it is not realistic to move the background screen as described above. In this way, the graph scientific calculator has no choice but to adopt a configuration in which the avatar is moved without moving the background screen from the viewpoint of limiting the memory capacity.

Therefore, a technique that can grasp where the avatar is located even if it goes out of the display range of the display is desired.

The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and is an electronic device and display capable of grasping where the avatar is located even when the avatar goes out of the display range of the display. The purpose is to provide methods and programs.

The electronic device according to the present invention has a receiving means for receiving a programming command for moving the display position of the avatar displayed on the display by a certain movement amount, and a predetermined display of the display position of the avatar after the movement amount is moved. A judgment means for determining whether or not the avatar is within the range, a movement means for moving the display position of the avatar by the amount of movement when it is determined to be within the display range, and a movement means for displaying the moved avatar from the display, and a display range. When it is determined that the avatar is not within the display range, the display means for displaying a first message notifying that the display position of the avatar after the movement amount is not within the display range is provided.

According to the electronic device, the display method, and the program of the present invention, it is possible to grasp where the avatar is located even if it goes out of the display range of the display.

FIG. 1 is a front view showing an external configuration of an electronic device 10 to which the display method according to the embodiment of the present invention is applied.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a case where the electronic device 10 is implemented as a graph scientific calculator. However, the electronic device 10 is not limited to being configured as a graph function calculator, but is configured as a tablet terminal, a personal computer, a smartphone, a mobile phone, a touch panel PDA (personal digital assistants), an electronic book, a portable game machine, or the like. You can also do it.

An electronic device (not shown) such as a tablet terminal that does not have a physical key (button) such as a graph scientific calculator displays a software keyboard similar to the key of the graph scientific calculator, and this software. The process is executed according to the key operation on the keyboard.

The electronic device 10 configured as a graph scientific calculator has a small size that can be sufficiently grasped and operated by the user with one hand because of its portability, and a key input unit 11 and a display 12 are provided on the front surface of the main body.

In the key input unit 11, a numerical / arithmetic symbol key group 111 for inputting numerical values, mathematical formulas, and program instructions, and instructing calculation and program execution, inputting various functions, and setting a memory function. Settings including function function key group 112 for raising, menu screen of various operation modes such as calculation mode and algorithm mode, and mode selection key "MODE" for instructing setting of these operation modes. Key group 113, function key group 114 for activating various functions displayed along the lower end of the display 12 with one key operation, cursor movement operation displayed on the display 12, data item selection operation, etc. A cursor key 115 for performing the above is provided.

Numerical / arithmetic symbol key group 111 includes [0] to [9] (numerical value) keys, [+] [-] [×] [÷] (four arithmetic symbols) keys, [EXE] (execution) keys, and [AC]. ] (Clear) keys etc. are arranged.

Instead of the key function described, it can function as the key described above the key. For example, when the [AC] key is operated (hereinafter referred to as [SHIFT] + [AC] key) after the operation of the [SHIFT] key, it becomes the [OFF] (power off) key. The [SHIFT] + [MENU] keys are the [SET UP] (setup) keys, and the [SHIFT] + [F3] keys are the [V-Window] (view window: instructing the display of the drawing area setting screen) key.

The display 12 includes a dot matrix type liquid crystal display unit. When the electronic device 10 is a tablet terminal, the display 12 is composed of a liquid crystal display unit provided with a touch panel superimposed.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a configuration of an electronic circuit of the electronic device 10.

The electronic circuit of the electronic device 10 includes a CPU 21, a memory 22, and a recording medium reading unit 24, which are computers, in addition to the key input unit 11 and the display 12.

The CPU 21 controls the operation of each part of the circuit according to the avatar display program 22a stored in the memory 22, and executes various processes according to the key input signal from the key input unit 11. The avatar display program 22a may be stored in the memory 22 in advance, or may be read and stored in the memory 22 from an external recording medium 23 such as a memory card via the recording medium reading unit 24. good. The avatar display program 22a cannot be rewritten by the user by operating the key input unit 11.

In addition to such user-rewritable information, key code data key-input by the key input unit 11 is sequentially input to the memory 22 as an area for storing user-rewritable data. A writable data area 22b, which is an area for storing compositional formula data, table data, graph data, and the like, is secured.

The electronic device 10 configured in this way will be described below by the CPU 21 controlling the operation of each part of the circuit according to the instruction described in the avatar display program 22a, and the software and the hardware operating in cooperation with each other. As such, the avatar display function is realized.

That is, the avatar display program 22a is a program for displaying the avatar A from the display 12 in response to a programming instruction in the algorithm mode.

FIG. 3 is a configuration diagram showing a subprogram included in the avatar display program 22a.

As shown in FIG. 3, the avatar display program 22a includes a reception subprogram 22a1, a determination subprogram 22a2, a movement subprogram 22a3, and a display subprogram 22a4.

The setting of the electronic device 10 to the algorithm mode is made by pressing the "MODE" key in the setting key group 113. That is, the electronic device 10 is provided with various operation modes such as a calculation mode and an algorithm mode, and when the "MODE" key is pressed, the calculation mode and the algorithm mode are alternately switched. Further, the electronic device 10 may be provided with other modes, and even when the electronic device 10 is provided with three or more modes, the modes are sequentially switched each time the "MODE" key is pressed. It is possible to deal with this.

When the mode is set to the algorithm mode, the reception subprogram 22a1 receives a programming instruction from the numerical / arithmetic symbol key group 111 to move the display position of the avatar A displayed on the display 12 by a certain movement amount. Is possible.

In response to this, when the user inputs a programming instruction together with the movement amount by operating the numerical / arithmetic symbol key group 111, the reception subprogram 22a1 accepts the input programming instruction together with the movement amount and determines. Output to subprogram 22a2.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of a script of a programming instruction input together with a movement amount from a numerical / arithmetic symbol key group 111. "Move 80" means moving the avatar A in "+80" coordinates in a predetermined direction (eg, along the X-axis) on the display 12. In the present embodiment, in the initial state, the moving direction of the avatar A is set to the positive direction of the X-axis. Hereinafter, for convenience of explanation, the moving direction of the avatar A will be described as a direction along the X axis unless otherwise specified.

The determination subprogram 22a2 moves the movement amount specified by the script as shown in FIG. 4 (in the case of FIG. 4, the avatar A is moved by "+80" coordinates along the X axis). It is determined whether or not the display position of the avatar A is within the display range that can be displayed on the display 12.

The displayable display range is predetermined by coordinate values such as −100 <X <+100 and −20 <Y <+20, depending on the size of the display 12.

For example, as shown in FIG. 5, when the current display position of the avatar A before moving is the coordinate position of "X = 57" on the X axis, the display position is along the X axis according to the script shown in FIG. When the coordinates are moved by "+80", the coordinate position of the avatar A after the movement on the X-axis becomes "57 + 80 = 137", which exceeds the upper limit of the display range on the X-axis, "100".

In such a case, the determination subprogram 22a2 determines that the display position of the avatar A after the movement amount is not within the display range, and outputs the determination result to the display subprogram 22a4.

The display subprogram 22a4 notifies that the display position of the avatar A after the movement amount is not within the display range, as shown in FIG. 6, according to the determination result output from the determination subprogram 22a2. Is generated and displayed on the display 12. In this case, in order to reliably notify the user to that effect, the message B may be highlighted from the display 12 or may be displayed together with a sound.

The message B further executes the process according to the programming instruction as it is without changing the movement amount (B1) or changes the movement amount in order to present the user with two options as the subsequent processing. Therefore, a display prompting the user to return to editing (B2) is also displayed.

In response to this, when the user specifies "B1", the display subprogram 22a4 further hides the avatar A from the display 12, and the coordinate position of the avatar A after the movement amount is within the display range. A letter, symbol, or number indicating that there is no character, a symbol, or a number is displayed on the display 12. 7, 8 and 9 are diagrams showing an example thereof, respectively.

In FIG. 7, an arrow C indicating the positive direction side on the X axis is displayed to indicate that the avatar A is located on the positive direction side (that is, the right side in the figure) on the X axis beyond the display range. This is an example. As a result, the user can recognize that the position of the avatar A exceeds the upper limit of the display range on the X-axis. It is even more effective if the arrow C is displayed in a large size, blinks, or is displayed in bold characters.

FIG. 8 is a modification of FIG. 7, and is an example in which the character information D such as “outside the avatar display range ⇒” is displayed instead of the arrow C. With this character information D, the user can recognize that the position of the avatar A exceeds the upper limit of the display range on the X axis. In addition to such character information D, an arrow C as shown in FIG. 7 may be further displayed.

FIG. 9 is also a modification of FIG. 7, and is an example in which the numerical information E of “coordinate position X = + 137 (> + 100)” is displayed instead of the arrow C. With this numerical information E, the user can recognize that the position of the avatar A is "coordinate position X = +137" and exceeds the upper limit of the display range on the X axis. On the other hand, for example, if "coordinate position X = -137", the numerical information E in this case is "coordinate position X = -137 (<-100)", which is below the lower limit of the display range on the X axis. You can recognize that. Further, in addition to such numerical information E, arrow C as shown in FIG. 7 and / or character information D as shown in FIG. 8 may be displayed.

The arrow C in FIG. 7 and the arrow in the character information D in FIG. 8 are left-pointing arrows when the position of the avatar A exceeds the display range and falls below the lower limit of the display range on the X-axis. Further, when the movement in the Y-axis direction is specified by the script and the display position of the avatar A after the movement exceeds the display range in the Y-axis direction, that is, the avatar A is located above or below the display range. If it should, it is indicated by an up or down arrow.

On the other hand, when the user specifies "B2" in response to the message B as shown in FIG. 6, the reception subprogram 22a1 redisplays the currently input script from the display 12 as shown in FIG. 10 (a). Display it. However, in order to encourage the change of the movement amount, for example, "Move 80" may be highlighted by displaying it in white. This prompts the user to edit the value of "Move 80". Correspondingly, for example, as shown in FIG. 10B, it is assumed that the user inputs "20" instead of "80".

In response to this, the reception subprogram 22a1 accepts the edited programming instruction together with the movement amount “20” and outputs the edited programming instruction to the determination subprogram 22a2.

In response to this, the determination subprogram 22a2 determines whether or not the display position after moving the coordinate position of the avatar A by "+20" along the X axis is within the display range that can be displayed on the display 12. judge. In this case, the coordinate position of the avatar A after movement on the X-axis is "57 + 20 = 77", which does not exceed the upper limit of the display range on the X-axis, "100". The coordinate position "77" of the avatar A after the movement is output to the movement subprogram 22a3.

The movement subprogram 22a3 moves the coordinate position of the avatar A from “X = + 57” to “X = + 77”, and displays the moved avatar A from the display 12 as shown in FIG.

Next, the operation of the electronic device 10 to which the display method according to the embodiment of the present invention configured as described above is applied will be described.

Here, for example, as shown in FIG. 5, the user performs programming for moving the avatar A from the coordinate position where the current display position of the avatar A, that is, before the movement, is "X = 57" on the X axis. The operation of the electronic device 10 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. 12, taking the case of learning as an example.

When learning programming by the electronic device 10, it is first necessary to set the mode of the electronic device 10 to the algorithm mode. This is set by the user pressing the "MODE" key in the setting key group 113 to switch to the algorithm mode (S1).

When the mode is set to the algorithm mode, the reception subprogram 22a1 can receive a programming instruction for moving the display position of the avatar A on the display 12 from the numerical / arithmetic symbol key group 111 together with the movement amount. Becomes (S2).

In response to this, when the user inputs a programming instruction together with the movement amount by operating the numerical / arithmetic symbol key group 111, the input information is received by the reception subprogram 22a1 and further to the determination subprogram 22a2. It is output (S3).

In step S3, for example, when a script as shown in FIG. 4 is input, in the determination subprogram 22a2, whether or not the display position of the moved avatar A is within the display range that can be displayed on the display 12. It is determined (S4).

When the displayable display range is predetermined by coordinate values such as -100 <X <+100 and -20 <Y <+20, the coordinate position is set along the X axis according to the script shown in FIG. When it is moved by "+80", the coordinate position of the avatar A after the movement becomes "57 + 80 = 137", which exceeds "100" which is the upper limit coordinate of the display range on the X axis.

In such a case, the determination subprogram 22a2 determines that the display position of the avatar A after the movement amount is not within the display range (S4: No), and the determination result is output to the display subprogram 22a4.

In the display subprogram 22a4, as shown in FIG. 6, the message B notifying that the display position of the avatar A after the movement amount is not within the display range according to the determination result output from the determination subprogram 22a2. Is generated and displayed from the display 12 (S5). In this case, the message B may be highlighted from the display 12 or displayed with a sound in order to reliably notify the user to that effect.

In the message B, a display prompting the user to specify whether to execute the process according to the programming instruction as it is without changing the movement amount (B1) or to return to editing to change the movement amount (B2) is also displayed. (S6).

Accordingly, when "B1" is specified by the user (S6: B1), the display subprogram 22a4 hides the avatar A from the display 12, and is exemplified in FIGS. 7, 8, and 9. The coordinate position of the avatar A after the movement amount is not within the display range, and the symbol (arrow C) indicating the direction in which the avatar A should be located, the character information D, or the numerical information E is shown. At least one of the above is displayed from the display 12 (S7).

On the other hand, when "B2" is specified by the user in step S6 (S6: B2), the currently input script is redisplayed from the display 12 by the reception subprogram 22a1 as shown in FIG. 10A. Is done (S8). However, in order to prompt the change of the movement amount, "Move 80" is displayed in white and is highlighted. This prompts the user to edit the value of "Move 80".

In response to this, the processing after the user inputs a new movement amount is the same as the processing after step S3 described above. For example, as shown in FIG. 10B, if the user inputs "20" instead of "80", the input information including this movement amount is received by the reception subprogram 22a1 and further, the determination sub. It is output to the program 22a2 (S3).

In response to this, in the determination subprogram 22a2, whether or not the display position after moving the coordinate position of the avatar A by "+20" along the X axis is within the display range that can be displayed on the display 12. It is determined (S4). In this case, the position of the avatar A after movement is "57 + 20 = 77", which does not exceed the upper limit of the display range "100" on the X-axis, and is therefore determined to be within the display range (S4: Yes). , The position "77" of the avatar A after the movement is output to the movement subprogram 22a3.

In response to this, in the movement subprogram 22a3, the coordinate position of the avatar A is moved from "X = + 57" to "X = + 77", and as shown in FIG. 11, the moved avatar A is displayed on the display 12. It is displayed from (S9).

As described above, in the electronic device 10 to which the display method according to the embodiment of the present invention is applied, a script specifying the movement amount of the avatar A is input in order to learn the algorithm by the above-mentioned action. However, if the amount of movement is too large to go out of the display range of the display 12, the user can be aware of this because a notification to that effect is given as in message B.

Then, when the process of moving the avatar A with the movement amount is executed, the avatar A is not displayed from the display 12, but the avatar A is caused by at least one of the symbol C, the character information D, and the numerical information E. You can know where it is located. Further, in that case, the user can also re-edit the movement amount, so that the user can display the moved avatar A from the display 12, for example, by inputting a smaller value. Will be.

As a result, the user can check how the avatar A moves according to the input movement amount even if the avatar A is not displayed from the display 12, so that the learning effect of programming can be enhanced. Become.

As described above, in the electronic device 10 to which the display method according to the embodiment of the present invention is applied, even if the avatar A goes out of the display range of the display 12, the avatar A is located where. Since it is possible to grasp whether or not it is present, it can be used for efficient learning of the algorithm.

The present invention is not limited to each of the above-described embodiments, and can be variously modified at the implementation stage without departing from the gist thereof. Further, each of the above-described embodiments includes inventions at various stages, and various inventions can be extracted by an appropriate combination of the plurality of disclosed constituent requirements.
