Description

This disclosure relates to a waveform measuring device, a display method, and a program.

Conventionally, devices are known that detect touch operations in which a user touches a display screen with a finger and perform various operations in response to the detected touch operations.

For example, Patent Document 1 discloses an information processing device equipped with a touch panel capable of detecting a contact point made by a finger or the like.

JP 2012-130565 A

Some waveform measuring instruments are capable of performing various operations in response to touch operations by the user. However, when a user performs some operation on a waveform or the like using a waveform measuring instrument, there are cases where the user is not able to fully utilize the functions of the waveform measuring instrument.

The present disclosure therefore aims to provide a waveform measuring instrument, a display method, and a program that provide a user interface that allows users to fully utilize the functions.

A waveform measuring device according to some embodiments includes a display unit that displays a plurality of objects, a touch sensor that detects contact of an object with the display unit, and a control unit that controls the display of the display unit. When the touch sensor detects a first contact operation on any one of the plurality of objects, the touch sensor detects a second contact operation on the display unit while the first contact operation is continuing, and the touch sensor detects that the second contact operation has ended while the first contact operation is continuing, the control unit displays a menu screen including a list of functions that can be executed on the object that is the target of the first contact operation near the coordinates where the second contact operation was performed. Such a waveform measuring device can provide a user interface that allows a user to fully utilize the functions.

In one embodiment of the waveform, the control unit may change the display mode of the object that is the target of the first contact operation when the touch sensor detects the first contact operation. This allows the user to easily understand which object has been selected by the first contact operation.

In a waveform according to one embodiment, if the coordinates where the second contact operation was performed did not move between the start and end of the second contact operation, the control unit may display the menu screen in the vicinity of the coordinates where the second contact operation was performed, and if the coordinates where the second contact operation was performed moved, may perform a zoom operation on the screen displayed by the display unit. This allows a zoom operation to be performed if the user intends to perform a zoom operation.

In one embodiment of a waveform, the object may be any of a waveform, a marker, a cursor, and a waveform display area. Thus, the object may be of various types.

A display method according to some embodiments is a display method for a waveform measuring device having a display unit that displays a plurality of objects and a touch sensor that detects contact of an object with the display unit, and includes a step of displaying a menu screen including a list of functions executable on the object that is the target of the first contact operation near the coordinates where the second contact operation was performed when the touch sensor detects a first contact operation on any one of the plurality of objects, detects a second contact operation on the display unit while the first contact operation is continued, and detects that the second contact operation has ended while the first contact operation is continued. Such a display method makes it possible to provide a user interface that allows a user to fully utilize functions.

In some embodiments, a program causes a waveform measuring device having a display unit that displays a plurality of objects and a touch sensor that detects contact of an object with the display unit to execute an operation including a step of displaying a menu screen including a list of functions that can be executed on the object that is the target of the first contact operation near the coordinates where the second contact operation was performed when the touch sensor detects a first contact operation on any one of the plurality of objects, the touch sensor detects a second contact operation on the display unit while the first contact operation is continuing, and the touch sensor detects that the second contact operation has ended while the first contact operation is continuing. Such a program makes it possible to provide a user interface that allows a user to fully utilize functions.

The present disclosure provides a waveform measuring instrument, a display method, and a program that provide a user interface that allows users to fully utilize the functions.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the appearance of a waveform measuring instrument according to a comparative example.

(Comparative Example)
First, a waveform measuring instrument according to a comparative example will be described with reference to Fig. 11, which shows the external appearance of a waveform measuring instrument 1000 according to the comparative example.

As shown in FIG. 11, the waveform measuring instrument 1000 according to the comparative example includes various operation buttons and a display unit that displays waveforms and the like. The display unit functions as a touch panel that can be operated by the user by touching it with his/her finger.

The following describes the general procedure for performing operations on the waveform displayed by the waveform measuring device 1000. As an example, we will explain how to change the color of the waveform.

Let us assume that button 1001 is a "Display" button. To change the color of the waveform, the "Display" function must be invoked, so the user presses button 1001.

When button 1001 is pressed, the waveform measurement instrument 1000 displays "Display Group Setting" on the display. In the example shown in FIG. 11, reference numeral 1002 indicates "Display Group Setting." In "Display Group Setting," "Display Group #1," "Display Group #2," ... "Display Group #n," etc. are displayed as options.

For example, when the user touches the "Display Group #1" area with his/her finger, a list of waveforms included in "Display Group #1" is displayed in window 1003.

The user touches with his/her finger the waveform for which he/she wishes to change the color from the list of waveforms displayed in window 1003. This causes a pop-up window to appear in which the color of the selected waveform can be changed.

The user operates the pop-up window to change the color of the waveform displayed by the waveform measuring instrument 1000 to the desired color.

Thus, when performing some operation on the displayed waveform in waveform measurement instrument 1000 according to the comparative example, the user executes the following steps (1) to (3).
(1) Press a button to initiate the operation you want to perform.
(2) Select the waveform to be operated on.
(3) Perform any desired manipulations on the waveform, such as changing its color.

By performing the operations described above, the user can change the color of the waveform in the waveform measuring instrument 1000 according to the comparative example.

However, to perform such an operation, the user must first be aware that the waveform measuring instrument 1000 has a function for changing the color of the waveform. The user must also be aware that in order to change the color of the waveform, it is necessary to press button 1001 to call up the "Display" function.

In other words, if a user does not know that there is a function to change the color of a waveform, they will not think about changing the color of the waveform. Even if a user knows that there is a function to change the color of a waveform, if they do not know that they can change the color of the waveform by pressing the "Display" function, they will not be able to change the color of the waveform easily.

As such, when using an operating procedure such as that of the waveform measuring instrument 1000 in the comparative example, the user may not be able to fully utilize the functions provided by the waveform measuring instrument 1000.

We've taken the example of changing the color of a waveform, but the same applies when trying to perform other functions.

(Waveform measuring instrument of the present disclosure)
1 is a diagram showing a schematic configuration of a waveform measuring instrument 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The configuration and functions of the waveform measuring instrument 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

The waveform measuring device 10 includes a memory unit 11, an input unit 12, a display unit 13, a touch sensor 14, and a control unit 15.

The memory unit 11 is, for example, but not limited to, a semiconductor memory, a magnetic memory, or an optical memory. The memory unit 11 may function, for example, as a main memory device, an auxiliary memory device, or a cache memory. The memory unit 11 stores any information used in the operation of the waveform measuring instrument 10. For example, the memory unit 11 may store system programs, application programs, various data, etc.

The input unit 12 includes one or more input interfaces that acquire input information based on a user's operation. For example, the input unit 12 may include a button, a rotary knob, etc.

The display unit 13 includes one or more output interfaces that display information. The display unit 13 may include, for example, an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) or an organic EL (Electro Luminescent) display.

The display unit 13 can display multiple objects. The objects displayed by the display unit 13 include, but are not limited to, a waveform, a marker, a cursor, a waveform display area, and the like.

The touch sensor 14 is a sensor that detects that an object has come into contact with the display unit 13. An object that comes into contact with the display unit 13 is, for example, a user's finger, but is not limited to this. The touch sensor 14 may be any sensor that can detect the contact of an object with the display unit 13, and may be, for example, a capacitive sensor, a resistive film sensor, or the like.

When detecting that an object has come into contact with the display unit 13, the touch sensor 14 can detect at which coordinates of the display unit 13 the object has come into contact. The touch sensor 14 outputs the detected information to the control unit 15.

The touch sensor 14 may be integrated with the display unit 13 and function as a touch panel.

The control unit 15 includes at least one processor, at least one dedicated circuit, or a combination of these. The processor is a general-purpose processor such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit) or a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), or a dedicated processor specialized for a specific process. The dedicated circuit is, for example, an FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) or an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit).

The control unit 15 reads the programs, data, etc. stored in the memory unit 11 and executes various functions.

The control unit 15 can control the display of the display unit 13.

With reference to Figures 2A to 2C, an example of the procedure when a user performs operations on the waveform displayed by the waveform measurement instrument 10 will be described.

Figure 2A shows the display unit 13 of the waveform measurement instrument 10 displaying two objects, waveform 101 and waveform 102. In Figure 2A, the user is touching waveform 102 with his or her index finger.

Hereinafter, the operation of the user touching the display unit 13 will also be referred to as a "contact operation." A contact operation is generally an operation called a "tap" or "touch."

When the touch sensor 14 detects a touch operation on the display unit 13, it outputs information on the coordinates where the touch operation occurred to the control unit 15. The control unit 15 determines that the user has performed a touch operation on the waveform 102 based on the coordinate information acquired from the touch sensor 14.

In the state shown in FIG. 2A, the user is not touching the display unit 13 with anything other than the index finger. Hereinafter, a touch operation by the user in this state where other parts of the display unit 13 are not being touched will be referred to as a "first touch operation."

Figure 2B shows a state in which the user continues to touch the waveform 102 with his/her index finger and then touches the display unit 13 with his/her middle finger. Such an operation in which the user touches another part of the display unit 13 while the first touch operation is being continued is hereinafter referred to as a "second touch operation."

When the touch sensor 14 detects a second contact operation on the display unit 13 while the first contact operation is continuing, the touch sensor 14 outputs information on the coordinates where the second contact operation occurred to the control unit 15.

Figure 2C shows the state when, after the state shown in Figure 2B, the user removes his/her middle finger from the display unit 13 while continuing to touch the waveform 102 with his/her index finger. Note that the user's hand is not shown in Figure 2C.

When the touch sensor 14 detects that the second contact operation has ended while the first contact operation is continuing, the touch sensor 14 outputs information indicating that the second contact operation has ended to the control unit 15. The end of the second contact operation means that the object that was in contact with the display unit 13 during the second contact operation has been removed from the display unit 13.

When the control unit 15 acquires information from the touch sensor 14 that the second contact operation has ended while the first contact operation is continuing, the control unit 15 displays the menu screen 103 in the vicinity of the coordinates where the second contact operation was performed, as shown in FIG. 2C. In the example shown in FIG. 2C, the menu screen 103 is displayed so that the area where the user's middle finger was touching the display unit 13 is the upper left corner of the menu screen 103.

The menu screen 103 includes a list of functions that can be executed on the object that is the target of the first touch operation. In FIG. 2C, the target of the first touch operation is the waveform 102, so the menu screen 103 includes a list of functions that can be executed on the waveform 102.

The list of functions that the menu screen 103 contains depends on the object that is the target of the first touch operation.

In this way, when the user performs an operation on an object displayed by the waveform measurement instrument 10, the user first selects the object with a first touch operation, then performs a second touch operation, and then ends the second touch operation. Then, a menu screen is displayed that includes a list of functions that can be executed on the object.

In this way, after selecting an object, a menu screen containing a list of functions that can be performed on the object is displayed, allowing the user to easily perform the desired operation on the object.

For example, if a user wishes to change the color of the waveform, in the waveform measuring device 1000 according to the comparative example, the user will not be able to change the color of the waveform unless he or she knows that the color of the waveform can be changed by pressing the "Display" button. In contrast, in the waveform measuring device 10 according to one embodiment, a function for changing the color is displayed on the menu screen that is displayed when the second contact operation is completed, so that the user can easily change the color of the waveform.

In addition, in the waveform measuring instrument 10 according to one embodiment, when the second touch operation is finished, a menu screen including a list of functions that can be executed on the object is displayed. At this time, functions that the user was not aware of may be displayed on the menu screen. This may trigger the user to use a convenient function that the user was not aware of.

Figure 3 shows an example of a menu screen when the target of the first touch operation is a waveform.

Figure 3 shows the display unit 13 of the waveform measurement instrument 10 displaying a waveform 201 as an object. In Figure 3, a first touch operation is being performed at coordinate 202 on the waveform 201. Also, a second touch operation is being performed at coordinate 203.

When the second touch operation is completed, a menu screen 204 is displayed near the coordinates 203.

In the example shown in FIG. 3, the menu screen 204 displays "Input" and "Color" as functions that can be executed on the waveform 201.

The user can switch the display of the waveform 201 on and off by operating the portion marked "Input." The user can also change the color of the waveform 201 by operating the portion marked "Color."

Figure 4 shows an example of a menu screen when the target of the first touch operation is a marker.

Figure 4 shows the display unit 13 of the waveform measurement instrument 10 displaying a waveform 301 and markers 302 to 305 as objects. In Figure 4, a first touch operation is being performed at coordinate 306 on marker 304. Also, a second touch operation is being performed at coordinate 307.

When the second touch operation is completed, a menu screen 308 is displayed near coordinates 307.

In the example shown in FIG. 4, the menu screen 308 displays "Trace" and "Position" as functions that can be executed for the marker 304.

The user can switch which waveform the marker is placed on by manipulating the portion marked "Trace." The user can also change the X-axis position of the marker 304 by manipulating the portion marked "Position."

The operation of the waveform measuring device 10 will be explained with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

Step S101: The control unit 15 constantly determines whether the touch sensor 14 has detected a first contact operation on an object displayed by the display unit 13. If the first contact operation has not been detected (No in step S101), the control unit 15 repeats the process of step S101. If the first contact operation has been detected (Yes in step S101), the control unit 15 proceeds to step S102.

When a first contact operation is detected in step S101, the control unit 15 may change the display mode of the object that is the target of the first contact, and then proceed to step S102. By the control unit 15 changing the display mode of the object that is the target of the first contact, the user can easily understand which object is selected. In order to highlight the object that is the target of the first contact, the control unit 15 may change the color of the object, darken the display of the object, or change the background color of the object.

Step S102: When the control unit 15 detects the first contact operation, it determines whether the touch sensor 14 has detected the end of the first contact operation. If the first contact operation has ended (Yes in step S102), the control unit 15 ends the process and returns to step S101. If the first contact operation has not ended (No in step S102), the control unit 15 proceeds to step S103.

Step S103: The control unit 15 determines whether the touch sensor 14 has detected a second contact operation on the display unit 13 while the first contact operation is continuing. If the second contact operation is not detected (No in step S103), the control unit 15 returns to step S102. If the second contact operation is detected (Yes in step S103), the control unit 15 proceeds to step S104.

Step S104: The control unit 15 determines whether or not the coordinates where the second contact operation is being performed have moved, based on the information on the coordinates of the second contact operation acquired from the touch sensor 14. If the coordinates where the second contact operation is being performed have moved (Yes in step S104), the control unit 15 proceeds to step S105. If the coordinates where the second contact operation is being performed have not moved (No in step S104), the control unit 15 proceeds to step S106.

Step S105: The control unit 15 determines that the operation performed by the user on the display unit 13 is a zoom operation, and executes a zoom operation on the screen displayed on the display unit 13. When the zoom operation ends, the control unit 15 ends the process and returns to step S101.

Step S106: The control unit 15 determines whether the touch sensor 14 has detected that the second contact operation on the display unit 13 has ended while the first contact operation is continuing. If the second contact operation has not ended (No in step S106), the control unit 15 returns to step S104. If the second contact operation has ended (Yes in step S106), the control unit 15 proceeds to step S107.

Step S107: The control unit 15 displays a menu screen including a list of functions that can be executed on the object that is the target of the first contact operation, near the coordinates where the second contact operation was performed. When the user's processing on the menu screen is completed, the control unit 15 ends the processing and returns to step S101.

(Example of menu screen)
Several examples of the menu screen that is displayed when the second touch operation is completed will be described with reference to FIGS.

Figure 6 is an example of a display screen displayed on the display unit 13. In the example of the display screen shown in Figure 6, the display unit 13 displays a waveform display area 401, a waveform display area 402, a waveform 403, a waveform 404, a cursor 405, and a cursor 406 as objects.

The waveform display area 401 is a rectangular area that displays a waveform with the horizontal axis being time. The waveform display area 402 is a rectangular area that displays a waveform with the horizontal axis being frequency.

Waveform 403 is a waveform with the horizontal axis representing time. Waveform 404 is a waveform obtained by performing FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) analysis on waveform 403.

Cursors 405 and 406 are cursors for measuring values on the X-axis (time axis) in the waveform display area 401.

Figure 7 shows an example of a menu screen that is displayed when the user touches the waveform display area 401 in the first touch operation and the second touch operation ends.

Even if the user touches within the waveform display area 401, if the user touches the waveform 403, cursor 405, cursor 406, etc., the waveform 403, cursor 405, cursor 406, etc. are given priority. In other words, if the user touches the waveform 403, cursor 405, cursor 406, etc., a menu screen related to the waveform 403, cursor 405, cursor 406, etc. is displayed.

The menu screen shown in FIG. 7 includes a list of functions that can be performed on the waveform display area 401.

"Number of display divisions" is a function that sets how many areas the waveform display area 401 is divided into. In the example shown in Figure 6, the waveform display area 401 is displayed as one area.

"Grid" is a function that switches whether or not to display a grid in the waveform display area 401.

"Brightness" is a function that sets the brightness of the waveform display area 401.

"Trace Label" is a function that switches whether or not trace labels are displayed.

"Display group setting" is a function that sets the waveform group to be displayed in the waveform display area 401.

Figure 8 shows an example of a menu screen that is displayed when the second touch operation ends if the user touches the waveform 403 during the first touch operation.

The menu screen shown in FIG. 8 contains a list of functions that can be performed on the waveform 403.

"Input" is a function that switches whether or not waveform 403 is displayed.

"Color" is a function that sets the color of the waveform 403.

"Sample rate" is a function that sets the sampling frequency when measuring waveform 403.

"Measure Item" is a function that performs various calculations on the waveform 403. When the user touches "Measure Item", a pop-up window is displayed with a list of calculations that can be performed on the waveform 403. Examples of calculations that can be performed on the waveform 403 include calculating the maximum value, the minimum value, and the average value.

"Auto Scale" is a function that displays the entire waveform 403 in the waveform display area 401.

Figure 9 shows an example of a menu screen that is displayed when the second touch operation ends when the user touches the waveform 404 in the first touch operation.

The menu screen shown in FIG. 9 includes a list of functions that can be performed on waveform 404, which is an FFT waveform.

"Mode" is a function that switches whether or not the waveform 404 is displayed.

"Type" is a function that switches the type when performing FFT.

"Sub Type" is a function that switches the subtype when performing FFT.

"Source" is a function that switches the waveform on which the FFT is performed.

"Center" is a function that sets the coordinates of the center of the waveform display area 402.

"Trace" is a function that sets the waveform that is the target of cursor 405.

"Position" is a function that sets the position of the cursor 405.

"Cursor jump" is a function that sets where the cursor 405 should jump to. For example, when a zoomed waveform is selected, the cursor 405 jumps to the zoomed waveform.

"How to read cursor value" is a function that sets which data the cursor 405 will read the value from. The waveform 403 displayed by the display unit 13 does not show all the data, but rather the compressed data. "How to read cursor value" allows you to select whether to read from the data before compression or from the data after compression.

"Brightness" is a function that sets the brightness of the cursor 405.

According to the waveform measuring device 10 according to the embodiment described above, a user interface that allows the user to fully utilize the functions of the waveform measuring device 10 can be provided. More specifically, when the touch sensor 14 detects a first contact operation on any one of a plurality of objects, the touch sensor 14 detects a second contact operation on the display unit 13 while the first contact operation is being continued, and the touch sensor 14 detects that the second contact operation has ended while the first contact operation is being continued, the control unit 15 of the waveform measuring device 10 displays a menu screen including a list of functions that can be executed on the object that is the target of the first contact operation near the coordinates where the second contact operation was performed. In this way, the waveform measuring device 10 according to the embodiment displays a menu screen including a list of functions that can be executed on the object that is the target of the first contact operation after the user performs a first contact operation on an object such as a waveform. Therefore, the user can easily perform an operation on the object on which he or she wishes to perform some operation. In addition, since the menu screen includes a list of functions that can be executed on the object that is the target of the first contact operation, it may be an opportunity for the user to use a convenient function that the user did not know existed.

As another example of displaying the menu screen, for example, a method of displaying the menu screen by pressing and holding an object is conceivable. However, the following drawbacks are conceivable in the case of pressing and holding an object.
(1) It takes time for the device to recognize that it is being pressed and held.
(2) A normal tap operation may be mistaken for a long press.
(3) There is no freedom in where the menu screen is displayed.
In contrast, the waveform measurement instrument 10 according to one embodiment overcomes the drawbacks of long presses as follows.
(1) Both the first contact operation and the second contact operation can be recognized in a short time.
(2) If the second contact operation is not performed, the menu screen is not displayed, making it difficult to make a mistaken recognition.
(3) The second contact operation can be performed at any position, so that the menu screen can be displayed at a desired position.

It is obvious to those skilled in the art that the present disclosure can be realized in other specific forms than the above-described embodiments without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics thereof. Therefore, the above description is illustrative and not limiting. The scope of the disclosure is defined by the appended claims, not by the above description. Any modifications that are within the scope of the equivalents of all modifications are included therein.

For example, the arrangement and number of each component described above are not limited to the above description and the illustrations in the drawings. The arrangement and number of each component may be configured arbitrarily as long as the function can be realized.

For example, in the above-described embodiment, the functions executed by the control unit 15 may be executed by several blocks. For example, the control unit 15 may be configured to be divided into an analysis unit that analyzes what operation was performed on the display unit 13 based on the coordinates of the contact operation detected by the touch sensor 14, a display control unit that controls the display of the display unit 13, and a control unit that executes other functions.
