Description

  The present invention displays a selection screen such as a menu screen or an operation screen having a plurality of operation buttons on the display screen, and moves the cursor by operating a pointing device to perform various operations on the selection screen. The present invention relates to a device display method.

  In recent years, in personal computers and various information display devices, keyboard input and various operation instructions are often performed with a mouse. These display a menu screen or an operation screen having a plurality of operation buttons on the display device, and move the cursor to the operation button desired or desired to perform a determination operation. A mouse is generally used as means for moving the cursor. This mouse is provided with a trackball mechanism on the bottom surface of the mouse body gripped by the user. By moving the mouse body on the operation table surface, the ball of the trackball mechanism is rotated and moved in the direction and direction. The corresponding action is converted into the amount and direction of movement of the cursor. However, since this mouse moves the mouse body directly, an operation table surface is absolutely necessary. In particular, when the cursor is moved for a long distance, an operation of moving the mouse body from point A to point B, pulling up the mouse body, returning it to point A, and moving it again to point B, a so-called “rowing operation” is performed. Must be repeated.

  There is a trackball as a device that compensates for such drawbacks of the mouse. The trackball has a structure in which the mouse is inverted to expose the ball on the upper surface. According to this trackball, the trackball main body can be fixedly provided, and the cursor placed on the upper surface of the trackball main body can be easily moved with the fingertip on the rotation display screen in an arbitrary direction. Therefore, the operation similar to that of the mouse can be realized without the operation table surface.

  In addition, a touch pad that detects the amount of movement of the position touched by the fingertip and converts it to the amount of movement of the cursor is also known as a pointing device that does not require an operation table surface.

JP 2004-272630 A

  As described above, since the trackball does not require an operation table surface, it is effective when the information device is operated under an installation condition where there is no work space, or when the operation unit is directly provided in the device. However, because the movement of the mouse body and the movement of the cursor are not linked to each other as in mouse operations, when moving to a certain point on the screen, the operation should be started assuming the rotation distance of the ball in advance. I can't. In other words, the trackball has a problem that the correspondence between the rotation of the ball and the movement distance is difficult because the trackball body is fixed and the coordinate instruction is performed by rotating the ball. In particular, when the cursor movement distance is short, it is possible to operate with the same feeling as a mouse. However, when the movement distance becomes long, the cursor is first moved appropriately, and fine adjustment is performed when the goal point enters the field of view.

  In particular, in the case of a trackball, the operator can perform a large linear operation in the left-right direction with the wrist as an axis, whereas in the vertical direction, the operation of the ball is limited to the range of bending and stretching of the finger. For example, it has operation characteristics that make it difficult to move linearly in the Y-axis direction or the X-axis direction.

  In addition, a pointing device such as a touchpad attached to a remote control device that operates with only a specific fingertip while grasping with a hand has an operation characteristic that restricts vertical operation compared to horizontal operation. Yes.

  On the other hand, on various content search screens, a list of many operation buttons, icons, and other selections is displayed on the display screen, and a specific selection branch is enlarged to check the contents, or a bird's-eye view displaying the entire view And screen scrolling is required.

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a display method for an information display device that enables enlargement / reduction display in a list display while making use of the operation characteristics of a pointing device of a trackball or a remote control device. .

In order to achieve the object, in the display method of the information display device according to the present invention, a display device that displays a list of a plurality of selection branches, a control device that controls the arrangement of the selection branches of the display device, and the control device A remote control device having a trackball for instructing a coordinate signal, and the options are displayed on the display device in a matrix arrangement of N rows and M columns arranged sequentially from top to bottom and in the left-right direction, and the track The number of lines to be displayed in accordance with the change in the magnification by continuously changing the magnification based on the coordinate signal in the Y-axis direction of the ball, scrolling the screen in the left-right direction based on the coordinate signal in the X-axis direction of the trackball in response to an increase or decrease, based on the options displayed at a predetermined position, and displays rearranged in forward display position of the selection by the number of lines after increasing or decreasing, the choice was the reference, After rearranging the display position due to the increase / decrease in the number of lines, the display screen is scrolled and displayed so as to be positioned on the predetermined line that was displayed before the increase / decrease in the number of lines, and the display screen When the option located at the end disappears from the display screen, the option is rearranged and displayed in a matrix arrangement with a reduced number of rows .
In addition, as the magnification is increased, the number of lines decreases when the lower end of the frame of the display screen enters the display area of the option located one above the option from the display area of the option positioned at the lower end of the display screen. The options are rearranged and displayed in a matrix arrangement.

Furthermore , a display device that displays a list of a plurality of selection branches, a control device that controls the arrangement of the selection branches of the display device, and a remote operation device that indicates coordinate signals to the control device, the gripping the remote operation device A remote control device equipped with a pointing device operated with a fingertip in the state where the options are displayed on the display device in a matrix arrangement of N rows and M columns arranged sequentially from top to bottom and left and right, The magnification is continuously changed based on the coordinate signal in the Y-axis direction of the pointing device, the screen in the left-right direction is scrolled based on the coordinate signal in the X-axis direction of the pointing device, and displayed in accordance with the change in magnification. in response to increase or decrease the number of lines, based on the options displayed at a predetermined position, the display position of the choices sorted in forward the number of rows after increased or decreased Display the display screen by scrolling the display screen so that the reference option is positioned at a predetermined line displayed before the increase / decrease in the number of lines after the rearrangement of the display position due to the increase / decrease in the number of lines, If the option located at the edge of the display screen becomes invisible from the display screen due to the enlargement of the magnification, the options are rearranged and displayed in a matrix arrangement with a reduced number of rows .

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the favorable operativity suitable for the operation characteristic of the pointing device of a trackball or a remote control apparatus can be provided for operation of the expansion / contraction display in a list display.

  The information display device according to the present invention will be specifically described below with reference to FIGS. In the following description, a television receiver will be described as an example of one embodiment of the information display device, but the present invention can also be applied to a personal computer or a game. Here, FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a television receiver. FIG. 2 is an apparatus block diagram of the television receiver. FIG. 3 is a content search flowchart. FIG. 4 is a content search screen diagram. FIG. 5 is a content browsing flowchart. 6 and 7 are arrangement diagrams of the content browsing screen.

  First, the outline of the television receiver according to this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 1, the television receiver according to this embodiment includes a receiver main body 100 having a display unit 101 and a remote controller 50 for inputting various operations of the receiver main body 100. The receiver main body 100 may be an integrated ultra-general television receiver in which the display unit 101, the storage unit 102 (illustrated in FIG. 2) and the like are housed in one housing, or the display unit 101 may be connected to another device. A separate display portion type housing structure may be used. Here, the description is made with an integrated television receiver. The remote controller 50 is a remote operation type operation instruction device that performs operation of a cursor displayed on the display unit 101 with the trackball 51. In this embodiment, an example in which channel selection and various operations can be remotely controlled using an infrared signal will be described, but the present invention is not limited to this, and a wireless device is provided or an operation is performed via a cord. A structure for instructing a signal to the receiver main body may be used. In this embodiment, the case where the cursor is operated with a trackball will be described. However, the cursor may be attached to a remote controller or the like and operated with a pointing device operated with a fingertip while being held by a hand.

  In this television receiver, contents such as television broadcasting can be viewed by a tuner 103 (shown in FIG. 2) built in the receiver main body 100, and a control unit 111 built in the receiver main body 100 is instructed from the remote controller 50. Based on the operation, a plurality of operation buttons and icons to which a specific function is assigned or a selection branch 40 such as a photographic image or a moving image is displayed on the display screen 101a of the display unit 101. The cursor is moved by a coordinate position signal composed of an X coordinate and a Y coordinate specified by the trackball 51, and the cursor is selected by aligning the cursor. A specific function is assigned to the selected selection branch 40. If so, that particular function can be performed.

  One of the major features of this television receiver is that a list of a plurality of options 40 is displayed on the display screen 101a based on the operation of the remote controller 40 utilizing the characteristics of the trackball 51, and a magnification instruction for this list display is given. Is selected, and the arrangement of the selection branch 40 in accordance with the magnification instruction is automatically performed. That is, in this embodiment, the Y-axis direction of the trackball 50 is defined as a magnification, and the movement in the X-axis direction is defined as screen scroll in the Y-axis direction.

  When the trackball 51 employed in this embodiment is installed on a table, the wrist is placed on one of the placement surfaces 52 of the trackball 51 and the trackball 51 is operated with a fingertip. At this time, as shown in FIG. 1 (a), the movement of the trackball 51 in the front-rear direction (Y-axis direction) is operated by moving the finger in the front-rear direction, so the operation range is limited and is difficult to operate. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 5B, the left-right direction (X-axis direction) of the trackball 51 is a rotation operation centered on the wrist, so that the operation is easy. The operability of the trackball 51 is the same when the remote controller 50 is held with one hand and operated with the thumb.

  On the other hand, the display screen 101a generally has a horizontally long shape in which the dimension in the horizontal direction (X-axis direction) is larger than that in the vertical direction (Y-axis direction). I can say that. In addition, when scrolling the screen by displaying a list of a plurality of selection branches 40, the screen scroll in the horizontal direction (X-axis direction) is more suitable for the movement of the human eye than the movement in the vertical direction (Y-axis direction). You can also.

  Therefore, in this embodiment, the movement of the trackball 51 in the Y-axis direction is accepted as a magnification, and continuous enlargement or reduction is performed according to the amount of movement in the Y-axis direction. Further, the movement in the X-axis direction is accepted as a screen scroll and is continuously moved in accordance with the movement amount in the X-axis direction.

  As described above, in this embodiment, in accordance with the operation characteristics of the trackball 51, an instruction for the magnification of the display screen 101a is received in the Y coordinate, and an instruction for screen scrolling in the horizontal direction (X axis direction) is received in the X coordinate. Operability can be improved.

  Another major feature of this television receiver is that the arrangement is automatically changed in accordance with the enlargement / reduction ratio. That is, in this embodiment, in principle, the selection branches 40 are arranged in a matrix of N rows and M columns. In FIG. 1, a case where the total number of selection branches 40 is 24 is described. In this example, displaying a list of 4 rows and 6 columns on one display screen 101a is a list display of the minimum magnification, and conversely, at least one selection branch 40 is displayed in the full width of the display screen 101a. Is defined as the maximum magnification. The minimum magnification and the maximum magnification may be larger or smaller, but the arrangement is not changed.

  In order to realize this arrangement, in this embodiment, the selection branches 40 are arranged in the order of columns from top to bottom and rows from left to right. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 1, the selection branches 40 are sequentially arranged from the top to the bottom of the left side row m1 and from the top to the bottom of the next left side row m2. In the array change, the definition is made so that the number N of rows increases or decreases with the magnification change, starting from the n1 row.

  Then, when the magnification is enlarged and “option 4” of n4m1 becomes invisible from the display screen 101a, that is, when the lower end of the display screen 101a enters the region of n3, the control unit 111 changes “selection branch 4” of n4m4. The position is moved to the position of n1m2, and the subsequent selection branches 40 are rearranged according to the arrow P. In the case of reduction, the reverse control is performed.

  As described above, in this embodiment, the “option 4” is arranged by rearranging the “selection branch 4” of the selection branch n4m4 that has become invisible from the display screen 101a with the enlargement. Never forget to see. These options 40 are virtually arranged on the right side of the display screen by rearrangement. These options 40 can be listed by moving the trackball in the X-axis direction.

  In the example of FIG. 1, the case where “selected branch 1” is visible on the display screen 101a has been described. For example, when there are more selected branches 40 and the screen is scrolled, a predetermined line (center of the screen) is displayed. The screen is scrolled so that the selection branch 40 at the top of the screen is positioned in a predetermined line (center of the screen) that has been newly rearranged. As a result, the selection branch 40 that disappears from the display screen 101a due to the enlargement is placed on the right side of the predetermined line, thereby reducing forgetting to see.

  Hereinafter, further details will be described with reference to FIGS.

  In FIG. 2, the remote controller 50 determines a rotation detection unit 55 configured by an X-axis detection sensor unit 53 and a Y-axis detection sensor unit 54 that detect the rotation of the trackball 51, and a press on the trackball 51. An operation switch 56 and an operation button 57 are provided. In addition, an infrared communication unit 58 for transmitting and receiving an infrared signal from the infrared transmission window, a storage unit 59 for storing an operation program, an operation history, and the like, and a control unit 60 for comprehensively controlling the operation control of the remote controller 50. And a vibration drive unit 61 that applies vibration to the remote controller 50 receiver main body 100 based on an instruction from the control unit 60.

  On the other hand, the receiver main body 100 that operates based on an operation instruction of the remote controller 50 includes a display unit 101 for displaying a menu screen and a list for operation, an audio output unit 105 such as a speaker, and an antenna 106. , A network communication unit 108 for acquiring content from the Internet 107 via a communication line, an infrared communication unit 109 for transmitting and receiving an infrared signal from the remote controller 50, various programs, This is a very general device including a storage unit 110 that stores content and the like, and a control unit 111 that comprehensively controls each device of the receiver body 100.

  In this embodiment, bidirectional communication is performed between the infrared communication unit 58 and the infrared communication unit 109, so that a signal is received from the receiver body 100 and the user is transmitted via the vibration drive unit 61. Can let you know. However, two-way communication is necessary when the force feedback is performed, but one-way communication from the remote controller 50 to the receiver main body 100 is sufficient when the force feedback is not performed. In this embodiment, infrared communication is employed, but wireless communication using radio waves may be employed instead.

  Next, the content search operation will be described with reference to the operation flow diagram of FIG. 3 and the screen diagram of FIG. In FIG. 3, when the control unit 111 of the receiver main body 100 according to this embodiment receives an operation of a menu button that is one operation switch of the operation button 57 of the remote controller 50 (step 300), the contents shown in FIG. The search menu screen 200 is displayed on the display screen 101a (step 302).

  In this menu screen 200, a plurality of folders are arranged in a column, and a plurality of contents belonging to the folder selected in the folder area 201 are displayed on the list display screen 210. In the folder area 201, one folder is always selected. FIG. 4 shows a state in which the folder C is selected in the folder area.

  When the control unit 111 monitors the operation signal of the trackball 51 and receives a movement signal of the Y coordinate (step 306), the cursor 203 selects the folder displayed in the column in the folder area 201 based on the Y coordinate instruction. (Step 414). Here, when the cursor 203 further accepts a movement instruction at the upper end or the lower end, the operation is performed to scroll the screen. Then, the control unit 111 displays the contents belonging to the folder selected in the folder area 201 on the list display screen 210, and when the selection in the folder area 201 is changed, the display of the contents is switched according to this selection.

  On the other hand, when the control unit 111 receives the movement signal of the X coordinate (step 308), the control unit 111 scrolls the content list arranged on the list display screen 210 in the designated direction (step 316).

  Then, when the control unit 111 receives an operation of the determination key from the remote controller 50 (step 310), the folder area 201 is hidden, and the enlargement / reduction operation flow of the list display screen 210 is enabled (step 312).

  Next, an enlargement / reduction operation flow of the list display screen 210 will be specifically described with reference to FIGS. First, the characteristics of the list display screen 210 will be described with reference to FIG. Here, FIG. 6A shows an arrangement in a state where the display is shifted from the minimum magnification to an enlarged display, and FIG. 6B shows an arrangement in a state further enlarged and reduced by one line.

  In FIG. 5, the control unit 111 displays an initial screen shown in FIG. 6A of the list display screen 210 when an instruction to display the list display screen 210 is issued from the operation step of FIG. 3.

  In FIG. 6, this list display screen 210 includes a content display area 211, and the content display area 211 can display the maximum display number Q1 obtained in N rows and M columns, that is, N rows × M columns. For example, in the example of FIG. 6, the total number Q2 of contents is 24, and the total number Q2 of contents is displayed in a matrix of 4 rows and 6 columns (same as the maximum display number Q1). The state in which the matrix of 4 rows and 6 columns is displayed on the display screen 101a is the minimum magnification. The control unit 111 calculates the number of rows and the number of columns from the content number Q2 of the content selected in the folder area 201 and displays the initial screen.

  Returning to FIG. 5, the control unit 111 receives a coordinate signal from the trackball 51 of the remote controller 50. If the X coordinate signal, the control unit 111 scrolls the screen horizontally in the designated direction (step 352). The display screen 101a is controlled as a direction (vertical direction) enlargement / reduction signal (step 354). However, when the magnification exceeds a predetermined value, that is, when the number of lines displayed on the display screen 101a changes, the content arrangement is changed (step 356).

  That is, in FIG. 6, as shown in FIG. 6A, when an enlargement instruction is given, the control unit 111 enlarges the display content according to the instruction speed. Since the relationship between the display content and the display screen 101a is a relative change, it can be considered that enlargement is the same as making the frame 101b of the display screen 101a smaller. In this embodiment, since the enlargement / reduction is set with the upper left as a base point, the control unit 111 is instructed to enlarge, and the lower end of the frame 101b is changed from the region n4 of 4 rows to the region n3 of 3 rows. When entering, that is, when the number of displayed lines is reduced by one line, (b) as shown in the figure, “content 4” is moved from the position of n4m1 to the position of n1m2, so that the matrix arrangement is displayed from 4 lines to 3 lines. Change the display to. Here, as the number of rows decreases, the number of columns increases. This can be dealt with by scrolling the screen. In reduced display, an operation opposite to the affirmative operation is performed to increase the number of rows.

  FIG. 7 shows a change in the display content of the list display screen 210 with a change in the number of rows. As shown in (a), when the number of lines changes, the position where each content is displayed is changed in order in accordance with the change. (B) The figure has shown the arrangement | sequence of the state reduced 1 line from the state of (a) figure. Further, (c) shows an arrangement when there are two lines, and (d) shows a list display screen 210 in a state where it becomes one line. Here, (a) the state of the figure is the minimum magnification, and (d) the figure is the maximum display magnification. The enlargement / reduction ratio may be further reduced from (a) or may be further enlarged from (d), but the arrangement is not changed.

  Returning to FIG. 5, as described above, in step 356, when the lower end of the frame 101b is increased or decreased from the current row area (step 356), the selection branch (content) at the upper part of the predetermined column is stored (step 358). Here, in the example of FIG. 6, the option (content 1) in the upper part of the m1 column is stored. Then, based on the increase / decrease in the number of rows, the control unit 111 rearranges the table (step 360), and scrolls the screen so that the option (content) of the predetermined row becomes the predetermined row (step 362).

  Here, step 356 and step 360 may be operated without being performed, but by providing this step, the visibility of the screen can be improved. For example, by setting the predetermined row to be stored as the center of the display screen 101a, the content arranged in the uppermost part of the center is always present at the center even if the arrangement changes due to the change in the number of rows. Even if there is a lot of content in 211, the target one is always in the center, so it is possible to reduce lost children and confusion associated with the change in arrangement.

  When the arrangement is changed, the control unit 111 monitors increase / decrease in the number of rows based on the changed number of rows (step 366). Further, the control unit 111 monitors the maximum magnification and the minimum magnification. That is, when the number n of rows is 1 (step 366), the enlargement is limited with no further enlargement (step 370). On the other hand, when the number of contents to be displayed is the same as or exceeds the total number of contents (step 368), the reduction is restricted with no further reduction (step 372).

  In the embodiment, the X coordinate is defined as screen scrolling. However, the X coordinate may be defined as cursor movement within the content display area 211. For example, in the content display area 211, one content is always in a selected state (cursor), and when the X coordinate changes, the cursor may move in the order of arrangement. In this case, the contents of the cursor are stored in step 358, and in step 362, if the center line or the center line is not reached, the screen is scrolled so as to be positioned on the left line from the center. In this method, when a specific function is added to the content, the content selected by the cursor can be executed by operating the enter key, so that the preview list display screen 210 is displayed. It can be applied to versatile content search.
