Description

  The present invention relates to a display control program and an information processing apparatus that execute processing according to an input operation on a display unit.

  Conventionally, various devices equipped with a touch panel as a user interface have been put into practical use. In such a touch panel, an input operation (touch operation) on the display surface by the user is detected, and processing corresponding to the detected coordinates is executed.

An example of such processing is scrolling of displayed content, for example. For example, in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2005-044036 (Patent Document 1), a drag on the target area is detected, and a target image displayed in the target area is displayed based on the detected direction and length of the drag. A control method for scrolling is disclosed.
Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 2005-044036

  In a general touch panel, it is only possible to detect whether or not a touch operation has been performed by a user and the coordinates (position) at which the touch operation has been performed. Therefore, the process that can be instructed only by the touch operation by the user is inevitably limited. For example, in the method disclosed in the above-described Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2005-044036 (Patent Document 1), only a target image can be scrolled mainly by a touch operation.

  As described above, in a user interface that detects coordinates where an input operation is performed, such as a touch panel, there is a problem that a plurality of types of operations cannot be provided, and operability cannot be increased so much. .

  The present invention has been made to solve such a problem, and an object thereof is to provide a display control program and an information processing apparatus capable of selectively instructing a plurality of processes by a simple operation. is there.

  According to one aspect of the present invention, an input capable of detecting coordinates at which an input operation is performed on a display unit (14: reference numeral corresponding to the embodiment; the same applies hereinafter) on which content is displayed. The display control program (26, 58) executed by the computer (100) capable of using the unit (20) is provided. The display control program determines, based on the coordinates detected by the input unit, first determination means (S118, S122) for determining whether or not the input operation is a long press, and that the input operation is not a long press. In this case, when it is determined that the first processing means (S132) for executing the first processing for changing the display on the display unit of the content according to the coordinates related to the subsequent input operation and the input operation is a long press In addition, the computer is caused to function as second processing means (S130) for performing a second process different from the first process in accordance with the coordinates relating to the subsequent input operation.

  In this specification, the content includes elements such as text and images, and can be displayed on the display unit.

Preferably, the second process includes a process of changing the state of the content.
According to this aspect, when the user performs a desired input operation on the display unit on which the content is displayed, it is determined whether or not the input operation is a long press. If it is determined that the button is not long-pressed, the display of the displayed content is changed in accordance with the subsequent input operation by the user. Here, changing the display means that the state of the content element (for example, the selected state of the text) does not change, and only the display on the screen changes. In a typical embodiment, the display is scrolled to display the portion that was not previously displayed on the screen. In another example, the display on the screen may be rotated or enlarged / reduced (without changing the state of the content element). On the other hand, if it is determined that the button is long-pressed, a process (preferably a process for changing the state of the content) different from the process for changing the display of the displayed content is executed in response to a subsequent input operation by the user. Is done.

  As shown in a typical embodiment, when a user performs a series of input operations with a stylus pen or his / her finger, it is determined whether or not a long press is performed based on the behavior of the initial input operation. Is done. Then, depending on the determination result, even if the user subsequently performs a similar operation (typically, a drag operation), the processing executed is different. That is, it is possible to selectively generate instructions for a plurality of processes based on only an input signal from a touch panel that detects a touch operation by the user. Thereby, from the user's point of view, a plurality of processes can be instructed by a simple operation. Furthermore, since the user performs an input operation on the display unit on which the content is displayed, the user can intuitively recognize the operation performed by the user.

  In addition, after the state of the content is changed by the second processing (for example, after a character string included in the content is selected), the display on the display unit is changed according to the change of the state of the content by the subsequent processing. It may be changed (typically, the selected character string is highlighted).

  More preferably, the first processing unit includes a process of scrolling the display on the display unit of the content in accordance with a change in coordinates related to the input operation.

  Preferably, the first determination unit determines whether or not the input operation is a long press based on an elapsed time from a timing when the input unit changes from the non-detection state to the detection state.

  According to this aspect, according to the touch operation by the user, it is determined whether or not various conditions are satisfied based on the time during which the detection state continues instead of the coordinates detected at a certain timing. Therefore, various types of conditions can be set in advance. In other words, a condition for determining which type of instruction is generated can be determined with a relatively high degree of freedom. Therefore, in an environment where various processes are executed based only on an input signal from a touch panel that detects a touch operation by the user, the user can selectively instruct a plurality of processes with a higher degree of freedom. .

  Moreover, the content of the process to be instructed can be switched only by the user continuing without changing the touch position. That is, since the user only needs to hold the touch state, the instruction switching procedure by the user can be further simplified.

  Preferably, the display control program further determines whether or not a detection continuation time, which is a time from the start to the end of coordinate detection according to an input operation, is equal to or less than a predetermined threshold time. The computer is caused to function as a second determination unit and a third processing unit that performs a third process different from the first process and the second process when it is determined that the detection duration time is equal to or less than the threshold time.

  According to this aspect, the user can selectively use a plurality of processes with a simple operation. In a typical embodiment, when the user performs a short touch operation on the display unit, a click command or the like associated with the coordinates of the touch operation is generated.

  More preferably, the threshold time is shorter than the time when the first determination means determines that the input operation is a long press.

  Preferably, the third process includes a process based on specific coordinates included in the coordinates detected within the detection duration time.

  More preferably, the third process includes a process of designating an element of content corresponding to a specific coordinate and changing the state of the content.

  In a typical embodiment, a link or the like embedded in Web content is specified, and by specifying this link or the like, new content is acquired from the linked server, and the state of the displayed content changes.

  Preferably, the second processing means performs the subsequent input operation as the second processing when it is determined that the duration from the start of coordinate detection according to the input operation is equal to or longer than the first threshold time. The element included in the content is changed to a selected state in accordance with the change in the coordinates.

  Preferably, the second processing means performs the subsequent input operation as the second processing when it is determined that the duration from the start of coordinate detection according to the input operation is equal to or longer than the first threshold time. The element included in the content is moved according to the change in the coordinates.

  Preferably, the second processing means performs the subsequent input operation as the second processing when it is determined that the duration from the start of coordinate detection according to the input operation is equal to or longer than the first threshold time. In response to the change in coordinates, the program is sent to a program that executes predetermined processing in accordance with predetermined coordinate data.

  An information processing apparatus (100) according to another aspect of the present invention uses a display unit (14) on which content is displayed and an input unit (20) capable of detecting coordinates at which an input operation is performed on the display unit. Is possible. The information processing apparatus determines, based on the coordinates detected by the input unit, first determination means (108, 106) for determining whether or not the input operation is a long press, and that the input operation is a long press. The first processing means (118) for executing the first processing for changing the display of the content on the display unit according to the coordinates related to the subsequent input operation, and when the input operation is determined not to be a long press And a second processing means (116) for performing a second process different from the first process in accordance with the coordinates relating to the subsequent input operation.

  According to this aspect, when the user performs a desired input operation on the display unit on which the content is displayed, it is determined whether or not the input operation is a long press. If it is determined that the button is not long-pressed, the display of the displayed content is changed in accordance with the subsequent input operation by the user. Here, changing the display means that the state of the content element (for example, the selected state of the text) does not change, and only the display on the screen changes. In a typical embodiment, the display is scrolled to display the portion that was not previously displayed on the screen. In another example, the display on the screen may be rotated or enlarged / reduced (without changing the state of the content element). On the other hand, if it is determined that the button is long-pressed, a process (preferably a process for changing the state of the content) different from the process for changing the display of the displayed content is executed in response to a subsequent input operation by the user. Is done.

  As shown in the exemplary embodiment, whether or not the user performs “long press” based on the behavior of the initial input operation when the user performs a series of input operations with the stylus pen or his / her finger. Is judged. Then, depending on the determination result, even if the user subsequently performs a similar operation (typically, a drag operation), the processing executed is different. That is, it is possible to selectively generate instructions for a plurality of processes based on only an input signal from a touch panel that detects a touch operation by the user. Thereby, from the user's point of view, a plurality of processes can be instructed by a simple operation. Furthermore, since the user performs an input operation on the display unit on which the content is displayed, the user can intuitively recognize the operation performed by the user.

  According to this invention, the user can selectively instruct a plurality of processes by a simple operation.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Note that the same or corresponding parts in the drawings are denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof will not be repeated.

In addition, both the case where the input means and the display means are integrated with the computer device and the case where they are separate are included.

  The input unit (or input means) is a touch panel in the present embodiment, but may be a mouse or a pointer (Wii (registered trademark) controller or the like) capable of instructing coordinates remotely from a monitor. It does not matter even if it is. In the case of a mouse or pointer, the coordinates of “touch on” in the present embodiment may be detected coordinates when a predetermined operation (button operation or the like) is performed, and the determination of “the touch state is continued” It can be determined that the predetermined operation continues (for example, the button operation continues).

The ROM 26a and the RAM 26b are connected to each other via an internal bus (not shown), and are also connected to the bus 44 via the connector 46 when mounted on the game apparatus 100. As a result, the CPU core 42 can access the ROM 26 a and the RAM 26 b of the memory card 26 via the bus 44 and the connector 46.

  The ROM 26a is a program for providing various types of information processing in the game apparatus 100, image data such as a character image, a background image, an item image, and a message image, sound effects, BGM, and sounds such as pseudo-sounding sounds generated with some action. Data and the like are stored in a nonvolatile manner. Further, the backup RAM 26b stores in-game data and result data in a nonvolatile manner. Since the backup RAM 26b is a storage area for storing mid-game data, a rewritable nonvolatile storage device such as a flash ROM is employed.

  The RAM 48 is used as a working memory and / or a buffer memory. That is, in the RAM 48, a program, image data, sound data, and the like necessary for executing processing by the CPU core 42 are read from the ROM 26a of the memory card 26 and temporarily stored. Further, the CPU core 42 temporarily stores object information, image data, and the like in the RAM 48 according to various types of information processing to be executed.

More specifically, the LCD controller 60 includes a register 60a that stores a flag indicating an output destination of game image data. This register 60a is composed of, for example, 1 bit, and stores a data value of “0” or “1” according to an instruction from the CPU core 42. For example, when the data value of the register 60 a is “0”, the LCD controller 60 outputs the game image data stored in the VRAM 62 to the LCD 12 and outputs the game image data stored in the VRAM 64 to the LCD 14. To do. On the other hand, when the data value of the register 60 a is “1”, the LCD controller 60 outputs the display image data stored in the VRAM 62 to the LCD 14 and outputs the game image data stored in the VRAM 64 to the LCD 12. To do.

  The I / F circuit 50 is connected to the touch panel 20, the right speaker 30 a, the left speaker 30 b, the operation switch 18, and the microphone 34.

  The touch panel 20 outputs the detected coordinates to the CPU core 42 via the I / F circuit 50. The right speaker 30a and the left speaker 30b output sounds such as BGM, sound effects, and pseudo-damping sounds generated based on the sound data read from the RAM 48. Further, when the operation switch 18 is operated by the user, a corresponding operation signal (operation data) is input to the CPU core 42 via the I / F circuit 50. Furthermore, the voice (voice signal) input from the microphone 34 is converted into digital data (voice data) by the I / F circuit 50 and input to the CPU core 42.

  The clock IC 68 is a circuit component that performs timing processing, and the measured time is input to the CPU core 42. Note that the clock IC 68 can continue the timing process regardless of the power state of the game apparatus 100.

  The wireless communication unit 66 is a unit for performing data communication mainly with other game devices.

The toolbar 210 includes a “return” icon 210A, a “forward” icon 210B, an “update” icon 210C, a “search” icon 210D, a “favorite” icon 210E, a “home” icon 210F, It includes a “rate change” icon 210G and a “submenu” icon 210H.

  The icon 210A is used to display the contents of past access destinations in order according to the access history by the browser software. On the other hand, the icon 210B is used to display the content of the nearest access destination in order according to the access history by the browser software.

  The icon 210C is used to re-acquire the currently displayed content from the server and update the display content. The icon 210D is used for transmitting a keyword to a search server that provides a predetermined search engine and executing a search. The keyword transmitted to the search server is selected according to a drag operation by the user in a drag document mode to be described later. The icon 210E is used to register the currently displayed content as “favorite”. The icon 210F is used to move to an access destination registered in advance as a home page.

  The icon 210G is used to change the magnification of the enlarged image 208 displayed on the LCD 14. That is, when the icon 210G is selected, the size of the enlarged image 208 on the LCD 12 is changed, and accordingly, the range of the content (image) displayed on the LCD 14 is enlarged or reduced.

<Input mode>
In the display control process according to the present embodiment, one of a plurality of input modes is determined according to the touch operation by the user.

FIG. 5 is a transition diagram showing a state transition between input modes according to the embodiment of the present invention.
Referring to FIG. 5, in the display control process according to the present embodiment, (i) drag start mode (state ST1), based on the history of coordinates (temporal change) detected according to the touch operation by the user, Mode transition is performed between (ii) drag document mode (state ST2) and (iii) drag scroll mode (state ST3).

  In the drag start mode (state ST1), a command having one degree of freedom associated with coordinates is mainly generated. More specifically, a click command is generated, and a link embedded in the content is selected by the click command. By selecting this link, new content is acquired from the linked server. As the coordinates associated with this click command, the coordinates when changing from the non-detection state to the detection state, or the coordinates when changing from the detection state to the non-detection state are adopted.

  In this embodiment, as a typical example of “a command for executing a process associated with a specific coordinate”, an “ON / OFF command associated with a coordinate where detection has started” is “1 degree of freedom”. The case of using “command” (specifically, click command) is illustrated. However, instead of such a “one-degree-of-freedom command”, a command having a predetermined parameter may be output. For example, when a pressure-sensitive touch panel is used, a value such as a detected pressure (touch strength) may be associated with specific coordinates and used for processing.

  In the drag document mode (state ST2), a command (hereinafter also collectively referred to as “drag command”) for changing the state (or attribute) of the content is generated in response to the touch operation. This “drag command” causes a text or an image included in the content to be selected or an object included in the content is moved.

  This drag command is interpreted as an instruction corresponding to an object existing at a specified coordinate by browser software itself or various applications (so-called plug-ins) such as JavaScript (registered trademark) executed on the browser software. .

  For example, when the coordinates specified as the drag command correspond to the position where the text in the content exists, the drag command is interpreted as a text selection command. Alternatively, in a content provided with a map image via JavaScript (registered trademark) or the like, the direction, scale, viewpoint angle, etc. of the displayed map image are changed according to the drag command. In this way, the browser software changes only the state of the included content without directly changing the display according to the coordinates included in the “drag command” (however, indirect by changing the state of the content The display may change automatically).

  In the drag scroll mode (state ST3), a command for changing the display of content is generated in response to a touch operation. This command is typically a command for scrolling displayed content (scroll command). In response to the instruction to change the display of the content, the area of the content displayed as an image moves. Instead of or in addition to the scroll command, a command for enlarging / reducing the content or a command for rotating the content may be used.

  In other words, the browser software in the present embodiment changes the state of the element of the content (for example, changes the value of the parameter for the element having the parameter or changes the value of the parameter for the element having the parameter) The content display processing for displaying the content on the display screen is executed according to the state of the content element. In the drag start mode (state ST1) and the drag document mode (state ST2), the coordinate values acquired in response to the touch operation are used in the state change process. Therefore, in these modes, the state of the content changes according to the touch operation. In these modes, the display on the screen may change in the content display process due to the change in the state of the content.

  On the other hand, in the drag scroll mode (state ST3), the coordinate value acquired in response to the touch operation is used in the content display process. Accordingly, in this mode, the content state does not change, and only the display on the screen changes.

  As shown in FIG. 5, in the display control process according to the present embodiment, state transition occurs between the three modes described above.

  In the drag start mode (state ST1), when the user's touch operation (history of detected coordinates) is determined to be “long press” and not determined to be “short press”, the drag document Transition to mode (state ST2). In the drag document mode (state ST2), in response to a change in coordinates caused by a user's touch operation, processing that changes the state of the content, such as text selection or object movement, is different from scrolling of the displayed content. Etc. are executed. In addition, when various applications such as JavaScript (registered trademark) are executed on the browser software, in the drag document mode, coordinates detected in response to a user's touch operation are stored in various applications such as JavaScript (registered trademark). Sent, and the various applications operate using the sent coordinates. This drag document mode (state ST2) transitions to the drag start mode (state ST1) when the user finishes one touch operation, that is, on the condition that the coordinates are in a non-detection state.

  In the drag start mode (state ST1), when the user's touch operation is not determined to be “long press” and is not determined to be “short press”, the drag scroll mode (state ST3) Transition to. In the drag scroll mode (state ST3), the displayed content is scrolled in response to a change in coordinates caused by a user's touch operation. At this time, the state of the content does not change, and only the display on the screen changes. This drag scroll mode (state ST3) transits to the drag start mode (state ST1) when the user finishes one touch operation, that is, on the condition that the coordinates are in a non-detection state.

  In contrast, in the drag start mode (state ST1), when it is determined that the touch operation by the user is “short press”, a click command associated with the detected coordinates is given. After this click command is given, the drag start mode (state ST1) is restored in a reset state.

  In the following description, the condition for determining whether or not “long press” is referred to as “first condition”, and the condition for determining whether or not “short press” is referred to as “second condition”. Called.

<Input operation example>
An example of the input operation in each mode described above will be described with reference to FIGS. First, referring to FIG. 6, consider a case where the user starts a touch operation on the LCD 14 with the stylus pen 24 (or his / her finger). If the user has not performed any touch operation, the drag start mode (state ST1) is set.

  The touch panel 20 (FIG. 3) detects the designated coordinates by the user's touch operation. Then, immediately after the start of coordinate detection by the touch panel 20, the first condition is determined based on the history of detected coordinates (temporal change).

  This first condition typically includes measuring a time during which coordinates detected by the touch panel 20 (input unit) are maintained within a predetermined range, and including the time being a predetermined time or more. This is because the detected coordinates are determined to be “long press” when the state where the detected coordinates are maintained within a predetermined range from the coordinates at which the touch operation is started continues beyond a predetermined threshold time. means. Note that the logic for determining “long press” may be only that the duration from the start of detection of the touch operation is a predetermined time or more. Furthermore, you may employ | adopt other arbitrary aspects.

  That is, when the user maintains a touch operation at an arbitrary position on the LCD 14 for a while, it is determined that the first condition is satisfied, and a transition is made from the drag start mode (state ST1) to the drag document mode (state ST2).

  FIG. 7 shows a display example in the drag document mode. Referring to FIG. 7, when transitioning to the drag document mode, a cursor 220 is displayed at a position where a touch operation is performed. That is, the display mode of the position corresponding to the coordinates detected by the touch operation is changed. Thereby, the user can grasp at a glance that it is the drag document mode.

  Further, after the transition to the drag document mode, when the user performs a drag operation, text in a range corresponding to the drag operation is selected.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a state where text is selected in the drag document mode. Referring to FIG. 8, for example, when the user performs a drag operation from the left side to the right side in the state illustrated in FIG. 7, the text “Nintendo Entertainment” present on the dragged locus is selected. Note that the currently selected text 230 is highlighted.

  Furthermore, when the user stops the touch operation after selecting the text as shown in FIG. 8, the drag document mode returns to the drag start mode. Even after returning to this mode, the selected state of the text is maintained unless any special operation is performed. When any text is selected, when the user selects the “search” icon 210D, the selected text is transmitted as a keyword to a predetermined search server. Then, the search result by the search server is displayed as new content (not shown).

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the first condition is not satisfied, the drag start mode (state ST1) is maintained. Here, when the user performs a drag operation, a transition is made from the drag start mode (state ST1) to the drag scroll mode (state ST2). Then, the displayed content is scrolled according to the drag operation.

  FIG. 9 is a diagram showing a state in which displayed content is scrolled in the drag scroll mode. Referring to FIG. 9, when a user performs a drag operation from the lower side of the paper toward the upper side of the paper with touching LCD 14, the content displayed for a length corresponding to the dragged distance is scrolled. . That is, it can be seen that the LCD 14 shown in FIG. 9 displays an image of the content on the lower side compared to the image displayed on the LCD 14 shown in FIG. Note that the position of the content partial area 206 displayed on the LCD 12 also changes in accordance with the change in the area displayed on the LCD 14.

  On the other hand, along with the determination of the first condition, the second condition is also determined based on the detected coordinate history (temporal change).

  This second condition includes an element for determining the duration of the touch operation by the user. More specifically, typically, it includes whether the time (detection duration) from the start to the end of coordinate detection by the touch panel 20 is equal to or shorter than a predetermined threshold time. This means that the time until the touch panel 20 returns to the non-detection state after the touch operation changes from the non-detection state to the detection state is equal to or less than the predetermined threshold time. That is, when the user performs a short touch operation at an arbitrary position on the LCD 14, the second condition is satisfied.

  Note that the threshold time used for the determination of the first condition and the threshold time used for the determination of the second condition can be set independently. In general, the threshold times are set to different values.

  FIG. 10 shows a state where the user performs a short touch operation. That is, after the user performs a touch operation on the LCD 14 with the stylus pen 24 (or his / her finger) as shown in FIG. 6, the stylus pen 24 is separated from the LCD 14 in a short time. Show. When it is determined that the second condition is satisfied by such a user operation, a command for executing a process associated with a specific coordinate, typically a click command, is generated by the touch operation. Then, in response to this click command, a process is executed in which new content is acquired from the linked server placed at the coordinates detected by the touch operation.

<Control structure>
FIG. 11 is a schematic diagram showing the main part of the control structure of game device 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention. The control structure shown in FIG. 11 is provided by the CPU core 42 expanding and executing a program stored in the boot ROM 58 or the memory card 26 on the RAM 48 or the like.

  Referring to FIG. 11, game device 100 has, as its control structure, event generation unit 102, time counter 104, distance counter 106, comparators 108, 110, 112, click command generation unit 114, drag A command generation unit 116 and a scroll command generation unit 118 are included.

  Coordinates detected by the touch panel 20 are input to the event generation unit 102 via the I / F circuit 50. The event generation unit 102 has a timing when the touch panel 20 detects a coordinate (detection state) to a state where the coordinate is not detected (non-detection state), and a state where the touch panel 20 does not detect the coordinate ( An event signal is generated at the timing when the coordinate is detected (detected state) from the non-detected state. This event signal is given to the time counter 104 and the distance counter 106.

  The time counter 104 is a timer for measuring time, and resets the time count value to zero at the timing when the coordinate detection is started by the touch panel 20, that is, the timing at which the non-detection state changes to the detection state. Start counting). Then, the time counter 104 outputs the measured time count value to the comparators 108 and 110. Further, the time counter 104 ends the time measurement when the detection of the coordinates by the touch panel 20 ends, that is, changes from the detection state to the non-detection state.

  The distance counter 106 measures the distance moved with the touch operation. Specifically, the distance counter 106 resets the distance count value to zero at the timing when the coordinate detection is started by the touch panel 20, that is, the timing when the detection state is changed from the non-detection state, and the distance at the time is touched. Set to start position. The distance counter 106 measures the distance from the touch start position to the currently input coordinates as needed. This distance corresponds to the Euclidean distance between the two coordinate points. Then, the distance counter 106 outputs the measured distance count value to the comparator 112. The distance counter 106 ends the distance measurement when the detection of the coordinates by the touch panel 20 ends, that is, when the distance counter 106 changes from the detection state to the non-detection state.

  The comparator 108 functions as part of means for determining the first condition described above. Specifically, the comparator 108 compares the time count value measured by the time counter 104 with a preset threshold time Th1, and outputs the comparison result to the scroll command generation unit 118.

  On the other hand, the comparator 110 functions as a means for determining the second condition described above. Specifically, the comparator 110 compares the time count value measured by the time counter 104 with a preset threshold time Th2, and outputs the comparison result to the click command generation unit 114.

  Further, the comparator 112 functions as part of means for determining the first condition described above. Specifically, the comparator 112 compares the distance count value measured by the distance counter 106 with a preset threshold distance Th3, and outputs the comparison result to the scroll command generation unit 118.

  When the input operation by the user satisfies the first condition, the drag command generation unit 116 generates a drag command according to a change in coordinates related to the input operation. More specifically, the drag command generation unit 116 determines that the distance count value does not exceed the threshold distance Th3 and the time count value is based on the comparison results from the comparator 112 and the comparator 108. When the threshold time Th1 is exceeded, a drag command corresponding to a change in coordinates input thereafter is output. In order to perform smoother display, it is preferable that this drag command is generated every processing cycle. Further, when the touch panel 20 changes from the detection state to the non-detection state, the drag command generation unit 116 stops (ends) the generation of the drag command.

  When the input operation by the user does not satisfy the first condition, the scroll command generation unit 118 generates a scroll command according to a change in coordinates related to the input operation. More specifically, based on the comparison result from the comparator 112, the drag command generation unit 116 performs scrolling according to changes in coordinates input after the distance count value exceeds the threshold distance Th3. Outputs a command. In order to perform smoother display, it is preferable that this scroll command is generated every processing cycle. Further, when the touch panel 20 changes from the detection state to the non-detection state, the scroll command generation unit 118 stops (ends) generation of the scroll command.

  The click command generation unit 114 generates a drag command associated with the coordinates related to the input operation when the input operation by the user satisfies the second condition. More specifically, when the time count value is equal to or less than the threshold time Th2 based on the comparison result from the comparator 110, the click command generation unit 114 includes information on coordinates input at that time. Click command is output.

<Processing procedure>
Next, with reference to FIG. 12, a processing procedure of display control processing according to the present embodiment will be described.

  FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure executed by game device 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention. Each step shown in FIG. 12 is typically provided by the CPU core 42 expanding and executing a program stored in the boot ROM 58 or the memory card 26 on the RAM 48 or the like. Further, the flowchart shown in FIG. 12 is repeatedly executed at a predetermined cycle (for example, several milliseconds to several tens of milliseconds).

  When the execution of the display control process is instructed by turning on the power or pressing the start button, the CPU core 42 sets variables and flags to be used prior to the process shown in the flowchart of FIG. Performs initial processing such as initialization and clearing of buffers and registers.

  Referring to FIG. 12, first, in step S <b> 100, CPU core 42 determines whether or not coordinates input on touch panel 20 have been detected. That is, it is determined whether or not the user is performing a touch operation on any position on the LCD 14. If the coordinates input on touch panel 20 have been detected (YES in step S100), the process proceeds to step S102. On the other hand, when the coordinates input on touch panel 20 are not detected (NO in step S100), the process proceeds to step S108.

  In step S102, the CPU core 42 determines whether or not the time count value is “0”. That is, whether or not the coordinates input on the touch panel 20 are detected in the previous processing cycle (frame) and whether or not the coordinates input on the touch panel 20 are detected in the current processing cycle (frame). Is judged. In other words, when the time count value is “0”, this corresponds to the timing when the touch panel 20 changes from the detection state to the non-detection state. If the time count value is “0” (YES in step S102), the process proceeds to step S104. On the other hand, if the time count value is not “0” (NO in step S102), the process proceeds to step S114.

  In step S104, the CPU core 42 stores the coordinates detected in the current processing cycle as the touch start position. In the subsequent step S106, the CPU core 42 increments the time count value by “1”. Thereafter, the process returns.

  In step S108, the CPU core 42 determines whether or not the current mode is the “drag start mode” and the time count value is a non-zero value equal to or less than the second threshold value (threshold time Th2). To do. That is, the mode change to the “drag document mode” or the “drag scroll” mode has not been made, the touch operation has continued until the previous processing cycle, and the touch duration time is not more than the threshold time Th2. It is determined whether or not. If the current mode is “drag start mode” and the time count value is a non-zero value equal to or less than the second threshold value (threshold time Th2) (YES in step S108), the process is Proceed to step S110. On the other hand, if the condition of step S108 is not satisfied (NO in step S108), the process proceeds to step S112.

  In step S110, the CPU core 42 determines that the touch operation that has been continued until the previous processing cycle is a click operation. Then, the CPU core 42 generates a click command associated with the coordinates detected in the previous processing cycle. That is, the CPU core 42 identifies an object that exists at a position corresponding to the coordinates detected in the previous processing cycle from the displayed content, and executes a process according to the click command for the object. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S112.

  In step S112, the CPU core 42 resets the time count value to “0” and changes the mode to “drag start mode”. Then, the process returns.

  In step S114, the CPU core 42 increments the time count value by “1”. In subsequent step S116, the CPU core 42 determines whether or not the current mode is the “drag start mode”. That is, it is determined that the mode has not been changed to the “drag document mode” or the “drag scroll” mode. If the current mode is “drag start mode” (YES in step S116), the process proceeds to step S118. On the other hand, if the current mode is not “drag start mode” (NO in step S118), the process proceeds to step S128.

  In step S118, the CPU core 42 determines whether or not the distance (distance count value) between the touch start position and the coordinates detected in the current processing cycle exceeds the third threshold (threshold distance Th3). Judging. That is, it is determined whether or not the touch position has moved out of the predetermined range from the touch start position by the user's drag operation. If the distance between the touch start position and the coordinates detected in the current processing cycle exceeds the third threshold value (YES in step S118), the process proceeds to step S120. On the other hand, if the distance between the touch start position and the coordinates detected in the current processing cycle does not exceed the third threshold value (NO in step S118), the process proceeds to step S122.

  In step S120, the CPU core 42 changes the mode to “drag scroll mode”. That is, after the processing cycle, a scroll command corresponding to the detected coordinates is generated. Then, the process returns.

  In step S122, the CPU core 42 determines whether or not the time count value exceeds the first threshold value (threshold time Th1). That is, it is determined whether or not the touch duration time from the processing cycle in which the touch operation is started to the current processing cycle exceeds the threshold time Th1. If the time count value exceeds the first threshold value (YES in step S122), the process proceeds to step S124. On the other hand, if the time count value does not exceed the first threshold value (NO in step S122), the process returns.

  Note that the determinations in step S118 and step S122 correspond to the first condition described above, and the case where the first condition is satisfied means that the determination in step S122 is YES.

  In step S124, the CPU core 42 changes the mode to “drag document mode”. That is, after the processing cycle, a drag command corresponding to the detected coordinates is generated. In subsequent step S126, CPU core 42 displays a cursor (corresponding to cursor 220 in FIGS. 7 and 8) at the detected coordinates. That is, the CPU core 42 changes the display mode of the position corresponding to the coordinates detected by the touch operation. Then, the process returns. In addition, while changing a display mode, you may make it emit arbitrary sound effects for notifying a user of mode change.

  In step S128, the CPU core 42 determines which is the current mode. If the current mode is “drag document mode”, the process proceeds to step S130. On the other hand, if the current mode is “drag scroll mode”, the process proceeds to step S132.

  In step S130, the CPU core 42 generates a drag command according to the detected coordinates. That is, the CPU core 42 executes processing such as selection of text in the displayed content and movement of an object in response to a change in coordinates caused by a drag operation in a state where the touch operation by the user is continued. Then, the process returns.

  In step S132, the CPU core 42 generates a scroll command corresponding to the detected coordinates. That is, the CPU core 42 scrolls the displayed content in response to a change in coordinates caused by a drag operation in a state where the user's touch operation is continued. Then, the process returns.
