DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 2 is a block diagram of an electronic device using the operation device of the embodiment, and the electronic device of this embodiment is a video sampling device. The signal processing system 11 includes a CPU 11a, a RAM 11b, a ROM 11c, and a timer 11d. The CPU 11a executes a predetermined program stored in the ROM 11c, and uses the working area including various registers and flags of the RAM 11b. Take control. The timer 11d measures time during the execution of various programs. The input interface (I / F) 12 takes in video data from the connected video device 10, and the output interface 13 outputs the image data to the connected image display device 20 and displays it.
[0027]
The setting operator group 14 is an operator group for performing various settings for the video sampling device, and a specific example of the setting operator group 14 will be described later. The display 15 is composed of a liquid crystal panel or the like, and displays the setting state of the video sampling device, items (parameter types), parameter values, and the like. The storage device 16 stores video data, video data processing procedures, device settings, various parameter settings, or various programs.
[0028]
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a part of the panel surface of the video sampling apparatus. As shown in the figure, on the panel surface, A1 switch 1, A2 switch 2, B switch 3, C1 switch 4, C2 switch 5, C3 switch 6, yes switch 7, which constitute a part of the setting operator group 14, A no switch 8 and the display 15 are provided. The symbols “A1, A2, B, C1, C2, C3” attached to the switches are for distinguishing the switches, and are not actually written on the switches.
[0029]
Each of the A1 switch 1 and the A2 switch 2 is a rotary dial switch connected to a rotary encoder (not shown), and is assigned to each of the A1 switch 1 and the A2 switch 2 by rotating as indicated by arrows in the figure. The parameter value of the selected item changes. For example, the parameter value increases when rotated to the right, and decreases when rotated to the left. That is, the A1 switch 1 and the A2 switch 2 have a switch structure in which parameter values can be changed in order by operation, and correspond to the “first operator” in the claims.
[0030]
The B switch 3 corresponds to a “second operator” in the claims. When the B switch 3 is operated and any one of the A1 switch 1 and the A2 switch 2 is operated, the operated A1 The current parameter value of the item assigned to switch 1 or A2 switch 2 is changed to a predetermined initial value. In addition, when the C1 switch 4, C2 switch 5, and C3 switch 6 described below are operated after the B switch 3 is operated, the current parameter value is changed to a predetermined initial value determined in advance. The
[0031]
The C1 switch 4 and the C2 switch 5 are switches for assigning parameter items set by the A1 switch 1 and the A2 switch 2 to the A1 switch 1 and the A2 switch 2. In this embodiment, the A1 switch 1 and the A2 switch 2 are assigned other related items such as items related to each other with the same effect to be applied to the video. This parameter item is abbreviated in the explanation display section 41 at the top of the display 15. In the example shown in the figure, when the C1 switch 4 is operated, “item (a)” is assigned to the A1 switch 1 and “item (b)” is assigned to the A2 switch 2, and when the C2 switch 5 is operated. “Item (c)” indicates that “item (d)” is assigned to the A2 switch 2 respectively.
[0032]
Each time the C3 switch 6 is operated, the parameter items and parameter values assigned to the A1 switch 1 and the A2 switch 2 are changed to “C1 switch parameter items and parameter values” and “C2 switch It is provided for alternately switching between “parameter item and parameter value”.
[0033]
The yes switch 7 and the no switch 8 are, for example, switches for instructing a response to a confirmation message from the system. After the yes switch 7 and the no switch 8 are simultaneously operated, the A1 switch 1 and the A2 switch 2 are operated. When any one of the switches is operated, the current parameter value of the item assigned to the operated A1 switch 1 or A2 switch 2 is changed to a predetermined initial value. Further, when the C1 switch 4, the C2 switch 5, and the C3 switch 6 are operated after simultaneously operating the yes switch 7 and the no switch 8, the current parameter values of the items designated by these switches are determined in advance. The initial value is changed.
[0034]
As shown in FIG. 1, the display unit 5 includes parameter items (“item (a)”, “item (b)”, etc.) currently set in the A1 switch 1 and the A2 switch 2, and the like. The parameter values (“7”, “15”, etc.) are displayed.
[0035]
FIG. 3 is a flowchart of a main routine of the control program in the embodiment, and FIG. 4 is a flowchart of panel processing. The operation of the embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. When the processing of the main routine of FIG. 3 is started by turning on the power, the contents of the RAM 12 are cleared and initial settings are made by the initialization processing in step S1. Next, the panel process of FIG. 4 is performed in step S2, other processes are performed in step S3, and the process returns to step S2. In this other process, various processes according to the operation mode are performed. For example, in the mode in which playback is being executed, processing for reading out video data and adding the set effect processing to the image display device 20 from the output interface 13 is performed. Also, various types of processing for video data and processing such as video capture are performed.
[0036]
In the panel processing of FIG. 4, it is determined whether or not there is a panel input (switch operation) in step S11. If there is no panel input, the process returns to the main routine as it is. Perform appropriate processing. Note that the presence / absence of the panel input is determined not only by an operation event of the switch but also by, for example, a state in which the panel is continuously pressed as an input. If the A1 switch 1 is operated in step S12, it is determined in step S13 whether the B switch 3 is operated. The B switch 3 can detect when it is operated strongly and when it is operated weakly. When the B switch 3 is operated strongly as will be described later, the operation of the B switch 3 is temporarily held. The state in which this operation is temporarily held is also determined as the state “the operation of the B switch 3 is present”. If the B switch 3 is operated in step S13, the parameter value of the setting item (type) assigned to the A1 switch 1 is set to a predetermined value (predetermined initial value) in step S14, and the process returns to the main routine.
[0037]
If the B switch 3 is not operated in step S13, it is determined in step S15 whether the yes switch 7 and the no switch 8 are being operated simultaneously. If the parameter value of the setting item assigned to 1 is set to a predetermined value and the simultaneous operation is not in progress, the parameter value of the setting item assigned to the A1 switch 1 is set to the dial movement amount (A1 switch rotation amount) in step S16. Change accordingly and return to the main routine.
[0038]
If the A1 switch 1 has not been operated in step S12, it is determined in step S17 whether the A2 switch 2 has been operated. If the A2 switch 2 is operated, it is determined in step S18 whether the B switch 3 is operated. If the B switch 3 is operated, the parameter value of the setting item assigned to the A2 switch 2 is set to a predetermined value in step S19, and the process returns to the main routine.
[0039]
If it is determined in step S18 that the B switch 3 is not operated, it is determined in step S20 whether the yes switch 7 and the no switch 8 are simultaneously operated. If the parameter value of the setting item assigned to 2 is set to a predetermined value and the simultaneous operation is not in progress, the parameter value of the setting item assigned to the A2 switch 2 is set to the dial movement amount (A2 switch rotation amount) in step S21. Change accordingly and return to the main routine. If the A2 switch 2 is not operated, the process proceeds to step S22.
[0040]
In step S22, it is determined whether or not the B switch 3 is strongly operated. If it is strongly operated, the operation of the B switch 3 is temporarily held in step S23 and the process returns to the main routine. Note that the temporarily held state of the operation of the B switch 3 is determined as “the operation of the B switch is performed” in the subsequent panel processing as described above. If the B switch 3 is not operated strongly in step S22, it is determined in step S24 whether the C1 switch 4 is operated. If it is operated in C1, the B switch 3 is determined in step S25. To do. If the B switch 3 is operated, in step S26, the C1 switch item group is assigned to the A1 switch 1 and the A2 switch 2, the parameter value of the setting item is set to a predetermined value, and the process returns to the main routine.
[0041]
If the B switch 3 is not operated in step S25, it is determined in step S27 whether the yes switch 7 and the no switch 8 are simultaneously operated. The item group of the C1 switch 4 is assigned to the 1 and A2 switches 2, the parameter value of the setting item is set to a predetermined value, and if not simultaneously operated, the item to be assigned to the A1 switch 1 and the A2 switch 2 in step S28 Is changed to the item group of the C1 switch 4 ("item (a)" and "item (b)"), and the process returns to the main routine.
[0042]
If the C1 switch 4 has not been operated in step S24, it is determined in step S29 whether the C2 switch 5 has been operated. If the C2 switch 5 is operated, it is determined in step S30 whether the B switch 3 is operated. If the B switch 3 is operated, in step S31, the C2 switch item group is assigned to the A1 switch 1 and the A2 switch 2, the parameter value of the setting item is set to a predetermined value, and the process returns to the main routine.
[0043]
If the B switch 3 is not operated in step S30, it is determined in step S32 whether the yes switch 7 and the no switch 8 are being operated simultaneously. The item group of the C2 switch 5 is assigned to the 1 and A2 switches 2, the parameter value of the setting item is set to a predetermined value, and if not being operated simultaneously, the item to be assigned to the A1 switch 1 and the A2 switch 2 in step S33 Is changed to the item group (“item (c)” and “item (d)”) of the C2 switch 5, and the process returns to the main routine.
[0044]
If the C2 switch 5 is not operated in step S29, the other switch is operated. In step S34, the process instructed is executed, and the process returns to the main routine. For example, in step S34, when the C3 switch 6 is operated, if the item group of the C1 switch is currently assigned to the A1 switch 1 and the A2 switch 2, it is changed and assigned to the item group of the C2 switch. If the C2 switch item group is assigned, it is changed and assigned to the C1 switch item group.
[0045]
Through the above processing, when the A1 switch 1 or the A2 switch 2 is operated alone, the parameter value of the item assigned to the switch can be set (changed) according to the operation amount. If the A1 switch 1, the A2 switch 2, the C1 switch 4, the C2 switch 5, or the C3 switch 6 is operated while lightly pressing the B switch 3, the following occurs. In the case of the A1 switch 1, the parameter value of the item assigned to the A1 switch 1 is changed to a predetermined initial value. In the case of the A2 switch 2, the parameter value of the item assigned to the A2 switch 2 is changed to a predetermined initial value. In the case of the C1 switch 4, the C1 switch item group is assigned to the A1 switch 1 and the A2 switch 2, and the parameter value of this item is changed to a predetermined initial value. In the case of the C2 switch 5, the item group of the C2 switch is assigned to the A1 switch 1 and the A2 switch 2, and the parameter value of this item is changed to a predetermined initial value. In the case of the C3 switch 6, the item group currently assigned to the A1 switch 1 and the A2 switch 2 is assigned to another item group, and the parameter value of the item is changed to a predetermined initial value.
[0046]
Further, when the B switch 3 is operated while the A1 switch 1, the A2 switch 2, the C1 switch 4, the C2 switch 5, or the C3 switch 6 is operated, the same processing as described above is performed. That is, this corresponds to a case where the second operator is operated while the first operator is operating, and even if the parameter value is being set by the A1 switch 1 or the A2 switch 2, it is immediately changed to a predetermined initial value. be able to.
[0047]
Further, if the B switch 3 is operated strongly, the operation of the B switch 3 is temporarily held. In this state, the A1 switch 1, the A2 switch 2, the C1 switch 4, the C2 switch 5, or the C3 switch 6 is operated. In this case, similar results can be obtained. If the operation of the B switch 3 is temporarily held in this way, it is only necessary to operate the B switch 3 and then operate other switches, so that the operation becomes easier than the simultaneous operation.
[0048]
Further, the same result can be obtained by simultaneously operating the yes switch 7 and the no switch 8 instead of the above operation of the B switch 3. As described above, when a switch that performs simultaneous operation is used as the second operation element, it is necessary to operate with consciousness, so that an operation error is unlikely to occur.
[0049]
In the embodiment, the example in which the dial type A1 switch 1 and the A2 switch 2 are used as the first operator and the parameter value is set by the rotary encoder has been described. However, as the first operator, an increment switch and a decrement switch are used. Etc. may be used.
[0050]
Further, the predetermined initial value may be a value determined by the user, such as a value determined by the manufacturer, 0 or a specific value, a value set exclusively by the user, or a value used in the past.
[0051]
In the embodiment, the B switch 3 and the two second operators, the yes switch 7 and the no switch 8, are provided at positions where the A1 switch 1 and the A2 switch 2 as the first operator are sandwiched. So it is easy to use.
[0052]
In addition, since the B switch 3 of the embodiment, that is, the second operation element is a push button type, it is easy to perform simultaneous operation with other switches, but the second operation element may be a slide type or a rotation type.
[0053]
Further, in the embodiment, there are a plurality of A1 switches 1 and A2 switches 2 that are first operators, and a C1 switch, C2 switch, or C3 switch that is a third operator, and parameters for the plurality of first operators are set. Since the setting items can be specified simultaneously, related items can be handled systematically.
[0054]
In the above embodiment, the video sampling apparatus has been described as an example, but any electric device may be used.
[0061]
