It is divided into those related to the layer and those related to the restricted layer L2 that can be operated only by a specific user. FIG. 3 shows an electrical configuration of the information processing apparatus 1 and the pen-type controller 2.
[0013]
In the pen-type controller 2, the memory 20 is a memory that stores a unique identification data ID. The pen-type operating element 2 has a battery (not shown). The transmission unit 21 receives the supply of power from the battery and transmits the identification data ID recorded in the memory 20 via the antenna 2a (see FIG. 1). As the battery of the pen-type controller 2, a rechargeable battery may be provided. Further, the information processing apparatus 1 may be provided with a charging unit that charges the battery.
[0014]
Here, the transmission unit 21 of the pen-type controller 2 transmits the identification data ID to the information processing apparatus 1 by the short-range wireless communication method. Therefore, the information processing apparatus 1 can receive the identification data ID only when the pen-type controller 2 exists in the vicinity (for example, within a range of several meters). Short-range wireless communication methods include, for example, a microwave method and an electromagnetic induction method, and modulation methods include a spread spectrum method (direct sequence method), a frequency hopping method, etc. There is.
[0015]
In the information processing apparatus 1, the receiving unit 15 receives data via an antenna. An input / output unit 16 is further provided in the information processing apparatus 1, and the input / output unit 16 connects the information processing apparatus 1 to the Internet under the control of the CPU 10 or uses a personal computer (PC) for data communication. ) Etc. A ROM (recording unit) 12 is a memory for recording various programs, identification data ID of the pen-type controller 2, and the like. Although only one information processing system is mentioned in the present embodiment, a similar system may exist simultaneously. In each system, the information processing apparatus 1 and the pen-type controller 2 make a pair, and unique identification data is stored in both. The RAM 11 functions as a buffer memory that temporarily stores image data and the like displayed on the liquid crystal display panel 3a under the control of the CPU 10, and temporarily stores various data. The flash memory (storage means) 13 is a rewritable nonvolatile memory.
[0016]
The flash memory 13 stores data for providing a user interface. In the present embodiment, the user interface is provided to the user by the liquid crystal display panel 3a and the touch panel 3b. Specifically, the CPU 10 displays on the liquid crystal display panel 3a an interface screen that prompts the user to input an instruction, and receives the instruction input given by the user based on the position on the touch panel 3b pressed by any operator. A user interface is provided in the form of judging.
[0017]
In the present embodiment, the interface screen includes images of a plurality of operation buttons representing various processes provided to the user. As already described, the services provided to the user in this embodiment include those belonging to the public layer L1 and those belonging to the restriction layer L2. In the flash memory 13, layout data, additional data, and other interface screen data are recorded.
[0018]
Here, the layout data includes image definition data representing the shape and size of the button image selected to activate various operations on the interface screen, and position data specifying the position of the image of such an operation button. Including. This layout data can be classified into those belonging to the public layer L1 and those belonging to the restriction layer L2. The layout data belonging to the public layer L1 includes image definition data and position data of each operation button belonging to the public layer L1, and the layout data belonging to the restriction layer L2 is an image definition of each operation button belonging to the restriction layer L2. Includes data and location data. The additional data is data that specifies a process to be executed in response to the pressing operation when an area on the touch panel 3b is pressed by the pen-type controller. This additional data corresponds to each operation button, and is stored in the flash memory 13 in association with the layout data corresponding to each operation button.
[0019]
The additional data corresponding to each operation button is stored in the flash memory 13 in a state associated with the layout data corresponding to each operation button.
The CPU (determination unit, layer setting unit, information processing unit, storage unit) 10 reads and executes a program recorded in the ROM 12 when the power button is operated and the information processing apparatus 1 is turned on. The entire information processing apparatus 1 is controlled.
[0020]
As described above, the CPU 10 has a function of controlling provision of a user interface. Specifically, in the present embodiment, the CPU 10 converts the image data (bitmap data) of the operation button group belonging to the public layer L1 into the image in the RAM 11 according to the layout data belonging to the public layer L1 stored in the flash memory 13. The image data of the operation button group belonging to the restriction layer L2 is mapped to the image storage area in accordance with the layout data belonging to the restriction layer L2 and mapped to the storage area. The liquid crystal drive unit 14 displays the image data of the interface screen recorded in the RAM 11 in this way on the liquid crystal display panel 3a.
[0021]
When the user selects an operation button displayed in the area of the touch panel 3b with the pen-type controller in order to activate the information processing, the CPU 10 determines which operation button has been selected, and performs predetermined processing. Execute.
[0022]
More specifically, when any operation button is selected in the area of the touch panel 3b when the same identification data ID as that stored in the ROM 12 is received, the CPU 10 discloses the selected operation button. Regardless of whether it belongs to the layer L1 or the restricted layer L2, the additional data corresponding to the pressed operation button is read from the flash memory 13 and the process designated by this additional data is executed. On the other hand, when the identification data ID is not received, the CPU 10 responds only to the pressing operation of the operation button belonging to the public layer L1, and executes processing corresponding to the pressed operation button. That is, in such a case, even if the operation button belonging to the restriction layer L2 is pressed, the CPU 10 does not execute processing corresponding to the operation button.
[0023]
(1.2) Operation of the embodiment
When the power button of the information processing apparatus 1 is operated and the power is turned on, the CPU 10 executes a main routine stored in the ROM 12. The CPU 10 is given interrupt pulses at regular time intervals. Whenever this interrupt pulse is given, the CPU 10 interrupts the process currently being executed and executes the layer setting flag setting process routine stored in the ROM 12 as an interrupt process. FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing this layer setting flag setting processing routine.
[0024]
First, an interrupt processing routine executed by the CPU 10 will be described. When the CPU 10 starts execution of the interrupt processing routine by receiving the interrupt pulse, the CPU 10 instructs the reception unit 15 to start reception (step S10). Next, the CPU 10 determines whether or not an identification data ID (hereinafter, the received identification data ID is referred to as “identification data IDa”) is received based on the reception result of the reception unit 15 (step S11). If the determination result in step S11 is “YES”, the CPU 10 determines whether or not the received identification data IDa matches the identification data ID recorded in the ROM 12 (step S12). If the determination result in step S12 is “YES”, the CPU 10 sets “1” as the layer setting flag F in a predetermined area of the RAM 11 (step S14), and ends this routine.
[0025]
On the other hand, if the determination result in step S11 is “NO” or the determination result in step S12 is “NO”, the CPU 10 sets “0” as the layer setting flag F in a predetermined area of the RAM 11. (Step S13), this routine is finished.
[0026]
The CPU 10 executes the above processing every time an interrupt pulse is given. As a result, while receiving the identification data IDa that matches the identification data ID recorded in the ROM 12, the CPU 10 repeats the process of steps S11 → S12 → S14 and maintains the layer setting flag F at “1”. On the other hand, when the identification data IDa is not received, the process of steps S11 → S12 → S13 is repeated to maintain the layer setting flag F at “0”.
[0027]
Next, the main routine of the information processing apparatus 1 will be described with reference to FIG.
When starting the main routine, the CPU 10 first performs an initialization process (step S1). In step 1, the CPU 10 sets “0” as the layer setting flag F in a predetermined area of the RAM 11. When this is completed, the display process of the interface screen 30 shown in FIG. 5 is performed (step S2). In this display process, the CPU 10 maps the image data (bitmap data) of the operation button group to the image storage area in the RAM 11 according to the layout data belonging to the public layer L1 and the restriction layer L2. As a result, the interface screen 30 illustrated in FIG. 5 is displayed on the liquid crystal display panel 3a. The interface screen displayed on the liquid crystal display panel 3a is a composite screen of the interface screen belonging to the public layer L1 and the interface screen belonging to the restriction layer L2, and this screen includes the operation button group B1 belonging to the public layer L1 and the restriction screen. An operation button group B2 belonging to the layer L2 is assigned.
[0028]
When step S2 ends, the CPU 10 determines whether a selection operation has been performed on the touch panel 3b (step S3). When this determination result is “NO”, the CPU 10 repeats the same determination. When the touch panel 3b is pressed, the determination result in step S3 is “YES”, and the process of the CPU 10 proceeds to step S4. In step S4, the CPU 10 determines whether the layer setting flag F stored in the RAM 11 is “1” or “0”.
[0029]
As already described, the layer setting flag setting process routine is repeatedly executed as an interrupt process for the main routine. Whether the layer setting flag F is “1” or “0” at the time of determination in step S4 depends on the execution result of the layer setting processing routine immediately before that.
[0030]
When the layer setting flag F is “0” at the time of the determination in step S4, the CPU 10 determines which position on the interface screen 30 corresponding to the public layer L1 the pressing position notified from the touch panel 3b corresponds to. Then, various processes are executed according to the determination result (step S5).
[0031]
Specifically, it is as follows.
For example, when the “scheduler” button b 1 (see FIG. 6) is pressed, the CPU 10 changes the color information in the image data of the “scheduler” button b 1 in the image storage area of the RAM 11. As a result, the “scheduler” button b1 is reversed on the interface screen 30 displayed on the liquid crystal display panel 3a. Further, the CPU 10 reads additional data corresponding to the “scheduler” button b 1 from the flash memory 13. This additional data includes information for designating an application program for “scheduler”. The CPU 10 executes an application program specified by the additional data. In this execution process, the CPU 10 reads the user's schedule information from the flash memory 13 to generate a schedule image, and writes the schedule image in an area corresponding to the work area 30A in FIG. As a result, a schedule image is displayed in the work area 30A of the liquid crystal display panel 3a. Further, when the CPU 10 executes an application program in response to pressing of an operation button, whether the operation button belongs to the public layer L1 or the restriction layer L2, in other words, a service provided to the user is disclosed. Information indicating whether it belongs to the layer L1 or the restricted layer L2 is written in a predetermined storage area in the RAM 11. In this example, since the “scheduler” button b1 is pressed, information representing the public layer L2 is stored in the RAM 11.
[0032]
Some application programs executed by the CPU 10 accept input of characters and images from the user. The operation in this case is as follows. When the user presses the position in the work area 30 </ b> A with the pen-type operator 2 and moves the pressed position, a series of pressed position information representing the movement locus is sent from the touch panel 3 b to the CPU 10. Each time one piece of pressed position information is supplied from the touch panel 3b, the CPU 10 writes dot image data representing the pressed position in an area corresponding to the work area 30A in FIG. As a result, the movement locus of the pressing position by the pen type operator 2 is displayed in the work area 30A of the liquid crystal display panel 3a. Moreover, CPU10 recognizes the information input by the user, for example, a character based on a series of press position information received from the touch panel 3b, and performs the process. A user may input an image in addition to characters. Whether the input information is recognized as a character or an image depends on the processing content of the application program executed by the CPU 10.
[0033]
When the operation button group B2 is pressed, the CPU 10 causes the liquid crystal drive unit 14 to display a message such as “no operation” or no processing. Therefore, even if the pressed position notified from the touch panel 3b corresponds to, for example, the “Internet” button b8 (see FIG. 6), the CPU 10 does not perform Internet connection processing.
[0034]
On the other hand, when the layer setting flag F is “1” at the time of determination in step S4, the pressed position notified from the touch panel 3b is the work area A2 of the restriction layer L2, the operation button group B2, or the operation button group B1 of the public layer L1. It is determined which position corresponds to, and processing corresponding to the determination result is performed (step S6).
[0035]
Specifically, it is as follows.
For example, when the pressed position is the “scheduler” button b1 (see FIG. 6) belonging to the public layer L1, the CPU 10 performs exactly the same processing as when the layer setting flag F is “0”.
[0036]
When the “Internet” button b8 (see FIG. 6) belonging to the restriction layer L2 is pressed, the CPU 10 reads additional data corresponding to the “Internet” button b8 from the flash memory 13, and is designated by the additional data. Application program, that is, an application program for Internet connection is executed. At this time, the CPU 10 writes information representing the restriction layer L2 in a predetermined storage area in the RAM 11.
[0037]
When the processing of step S5 or step S6 described above is completed, the CPU 10 returns the processing to step S3, thereby repeating the processing of steps S3, S4, S5 or S3, S4, S6 until the power is turned off.
[0038]
As described above, the CPU 10 performs processing corresponding to all the operation button groups B1 and B2 when the layer setting flag F is “1” in response to the selection operation of the area in the touch panel 3b by the pen-type controller 2. On the other hand, when the layer setting flag F is “0”, only the processing corresponding to the operation button group B1 is performed. Note that the number and type of operation button groups B1 and B2 arranged in the layers L1 and L2 may be arbitrarily set by the operator.
[0039]
If it is determined in step S5 or S6 that the “power off” button b3 (see FIG. 6) has been operated based on the selected position, the CPU 10 stores information stored in a predetermined storage area in the RAM 11 at that time. Refer to Based on this information, the CPU 10 determines whether the service being provided belongs to the public layer L1 or the restricted layer L2. Here, when the service being provided belongs to the restriction layer L2, the CPU 10 automatically saves the data being displayed in the work area 30A in the interface screen 30 in the flash memory 13, and shuts off the power after the saving process is completed. . On the other hand, when the service being provided belongs to the restriction layer L2, the CPU 10 shuts off the power without performing this automatic saving. That is, data belonging to the restriction layer L2 is saved even when the operator does not perform a save operation, whereas data belonging to the public layer L1 is not saved unless an explicit save operation is performed. Note that the operator may arbitrarily set whether to automatically save data belonging to each layer L1 or L2.
[0040]
As described above, according to the information processing apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment, while the pen-type controller 2 that transmits the identification data IDa that matches the identification data ID recorded in the ROM 12 exists nearby (that is, the layer) While the setting flag F is “1”), a service belonging to the public layer L1 and a service belonging to the restriction layer L2 are provided to the user.
[0041]
Here, if the pen-type controller 2 that transmits the identification data IDa that matches the identification data ID recorded in the ROM 12 does not exist nearby, only the process corresponding to the position on the public layer L1 can be specified. Therefore, the information processing apparatus 1 can restrict the operation of a third party, and it is not necessary for a specific operator to learn information (password, command, specific operation, etc.) for releasing the restriction, and the restriction is released. Since it is not necessary to perform an operation or the like, a process desired by a specific operator can be performed immediately. In the information processing apparatus 1, if the pen-type controller 2 that transmits predetermined identification data ID is nearby, the operator can operate the operation button group B2, and the data is automatically saved. Therefore, if there is an operator with the pen-type controller 2 nearby, the operation button group B2 can be operated using another pen-type controller. Therefore, for example, an operator holding this information processing apparatus 1 can pass the information processing apparatus 1 in front of a person holding another pen-type controller and directly input an address or the like.
[0042]
Further, by providing a removable member (such as a cap) for blocking the transmission of the identification data ID from the pen-type controller 2 to the outside, a switch for stopping the transmission of the identification data ID, etc., the same pen type It is also possible to prevent the operation button group B2 from being easily operated even with the operation element 2.
[0043]
As is clear from the above description, if the system according to the present embodiment is used, it is possible to simply and reliably restrict access to operations on restricted layers for each user. In other words, whether or not the operation on the layer of the interface screen in this system can be accessed depends on whether or not the user is authenticated via the pen-type controller 2.
[0044]

[0047]
Further, as shown in FIG. 8, data indicating the correspondence between each layer Lk (k = 1, 2,... N) and each identification data IDi (i = 1 to m) is stored in the information processing apparatus 1 in advance. Thus, based on this data, the layer Lk to which the interface screen that can be operated for each operator can be switched according to the received identification data IDa. Specifically, when the identification data IDi that matches any of the identification data IDs stored in the ROM 12 is received, the layer setting flag F is set to “1” and at the same time, the stored layers Lk and the identification data The layer Lk to which the interface screen that can be operated by referring to the data indicating the correspondence relationship with IDi belongs is switched. On the other hand, when no identification data IDi is received, the layer setting flag F is set to [0], and any operation button cannot be operated without referring to the data indicating the correspondence. In this way, when the information processing apparatus 1 is shared and used by a plurality of persons, it is possible to easily limit the operation content for each operator.
