  Hereinafter, examples of embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. The information processing apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention is realized by, for example, a mobile game machine, a mobile phone, or a mobile information terminal.

  [First Embodiment] First, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 1 shows an example of the appearance of a portable information processing apparatus according to the first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 shows an example of the hardware configuration of the information processing apparatus according to the first embodiment of the present invention. As illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2, the information processing apparatus 10 includes a control unit 11, a storage unit 12, a communication unit 13, a motion detection unit 14, an operation unit 15, a touch panel 16, and an output unit 17.

  The control unit 11 includes, for example, one or a plurality of microprocessors. The control unit 11 executes processing according to an operating system or other program stored in the storage unit 12.

  The storage unit 12 includes a main memory and a nonvolatile memory. A program executed by the control unit 11 is stored in the nonvolatile memory. For example, this program is downloaded from a server device via a communication network such as the Internet and stored in a nonvolatile memory. Alternatively, this program is copied from a computer-readable information storage medium such as a memory card and stored in a nonvolatile memory. In the main memory, a program read from the nonvolatile memory and data necessary when the control unit 11 executes processing are written.

  The communication unit 13 is for performing data communication. For example, the communication unit 13 performs data communication according to an instruction from the control unit 11.

  The motion detection unit 14 includes one or more sensors for detecting the motion of the housing of the information processing apparatus 10. For example, the motion detection unit 14 includes at least one of an acceleration sensor (acceleration detection means) and a gyro sensor (angular velocity detection means). In the following description, it is assumed that both the acceleration sensor and the gyro sensor are built in the information processing apparatus 10.

  The acceleration sensor detects the acceleration of the information processing apparatus 10. For example, acceleration generated in the information processing apparatus 10 by the operation of the user who has the information processing apparatus 10 is detected by the acceleration sensor. The acceleration sensor detects accelerations in three axial directions (X-axis direction, Y-axis direction, and Z-axis direction) orthogonal to each other. As shown in FIG. 1, the information processing apparatus 10 has a rectangular shape, the X axis corresponds to the short direction of the information processing apparatus 10, and the Z axis corresponds to the longitudinal direction of the information processing apparatus 10. . The Y axis corresponds to the depth direction of the information processing apparatus 10.

  The gyro sensor detects the angular velocity of the information processing apparatus 10. For example, an angular velocity generated in the information processing apparatus 10 due to an operation of a user who has the information processing apparatus 10 is detected by a gyro sensor. The gyro sensor detects angular velocities of three axes (X axis, Y axis, and Z axis) orthogonal to each other. That is, the gyro sensor detects the amount of rotation per unit time when the information processing apparatus 10 rotates about the X axis as a rotation axis. Similarly, the gyro sensor detects a rotation amount per unit time when the information processing apparatus 10 rotates about the Y axis as a rotation axis. Further, the gyro sensor detects a rotation amount per unit time when the information processing apparatus 10 rotates about the Z axis as a rotation axis.

  Information indicating the detection result of the motion detection unit 14 is supplied to the control unit 11 every predetermined time (for example, 1/60 seconds). For example, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the information processing apparatus 10 is shaken by the user based on the detection result of the motion detection unit 14.

  The operation unit 15 includes, for example, a button, a stick (lever), a keyboard, and the like, and is used for a user to perform an operation.

  The touch panel 16 is a general touch panel and detects a position touched by a user. The touch panel 16 can detect a plurality of positions touched by the user. As the touch panel 16, for example, a capacitive touch panel is used. In the capacitive touch panel, a position touched by the user is detected based on a change in electric charge generated when the surface of the touch panel is touched by the user. For example, as shown in FIG. 1, the position touched by the user is an XsYs coordinate system in which the upper left vertex of the touch panel 16 is the origin O, and the right direction and the lower direction are the Xs axis positive direction and the Ys axis positive direction, respectively. Represented by coordinate values.

  The touch panel 16 supplies information corresponding to the position touched by the user to the operating system. Based on the information supplied from the touch panel 16, the operating system acquires the position touched by the user. For example, when a plurality of positions are touched by the user, the operating system acquires the plurality of contact positions and causes the storage unit 12 to store contact position data indicating the plurality of contact positions. The contact position data stored in the storage unit 12 by the operating system is referred to by a program other than the operating system.

  The touch panel 16 is provided so as to overlap a display unit 18 described later. For this reason, the user can designate the position in the screen displayed on the display unit 18 by touching the surface of the touch panel 16. In general, the user contacts his / her finger (hand) with the surface of the touch panel 16, but the user may contact a part other than the finger (hand) with the surface of the touch panel 16.

  The output unit 17 is for outputting data. The output unit 17 includes at least one of the display unit 18 and the audio output unit 19. The display unit 18 is a liquid crystal panel, for example. The display unit 18 displays a screen according to instructions from the control unit 11. The audio output unit 19 is, for example, a speaker or a headphone terminal. The sound output unit 19 outputs sound according to an instruction from the control unit 11.

  Note that the information processing apparatus 10 may include an optical disk drive or a memory card slot. The optical disk drive is for reading programs and data recorded on an optical disk (information storage medium), and the memory card slot is for reading programs and data stored on a memory card (information storage medium). The program and data may be supplied to the information processing apparatus 10 via an optical disk or a memory card and stored in the storage unit 12 (nonvolatile memory).

  Next, an example of a screen displayed on the display unit 18 of the information processing apparatus 10 will be described. FIG. 3 shows an example of the main menu screen. The main menu screen is a screen displayed immediately after starting the information processing apparatus 10.

  A plurality of icons 20 are displayed on the main menu screen shown in FIG. In the example shown in FIG. 3, a “setting” icon 20A, a “Web” icon 20B, and a “music” icon 20C are displayed. The user selects the desired icon 20 by bringing a finger into contact with an area on the touch panel 16 corresponding to the area where the desired icon 20 is displayed. Note that it is determined that the icon 20 has been selected when the finger touching the touch panel 16 is released from the touch panel 16.

  The “setting” icon 20A is an icon that is selected when it is desired to start a setting program for changing the setting of the information processing apparatus 10. When the “setting” icon 20A is selected, a setting program is activated and a menu screen for selecting one of a plurality of setting items is displayed on the display unit 18. FIG. 4 shows an example of this menu screen.

  A plurality of icons 22 corresponding to a plurality of setting items are displayed on the menu screen shown in FIG. In the example shown in FIG. 4, a “sound” icon 22A and a “screen” icon 22B are displayed. The “sound” icon 22 </ b> A is an icon that is selected when it is desired to change the settings relating to the audio output unit 19. On the other hand, the “screen” icon 22 </ b> B is an icon that is selected when it is desired to change the setting related to the display unit 18.

  For example, when the “sound” icon 22 </ b> A is selected, a menu screen (not shown) for selecting one of a plurality of setting items related to the audio output unit 19 is displayed on the display unit 18. When the user selects a desired setting item on this menu screen, a setting screen (not shown) for changing the setting is displayed. For example, when the “screen” icon 22 </ b> B is selected, a menu screen (not shown) for selecting one of a plurality of setting items related to the display unit 18 is displayed on the display unit 18. When the user selects a desired setting item on this menu screen, a setting screen (not shown) for changing the setting is displayed.

  As described above, the plurality of screens displayed by the setting program have a hierarchical structure in which one or a plurality of screens are associated with the layer immediately below the one screen. In the following, when the screen B is associated with the hierarchy immediately below the screen A (that is, when the screen A is associated with the hierarchy immediately above the screen B), the screen A is referred to as “the parent of the screen B”. "Screen". For example, the main menu screen shown in FIG. 3 is a parent screen of the menu screen shown in FIG. The menu screen shown in FIG. 4 is a parent screen of the menu screen displayed when the “sound” icon 22A or the “screen” icon 22B is selected.

  The “Web” icon 20B displayed on the main menu screen (FIG. 3) is an icon that is selected when it is desired to start a web browser. The web browser is a program that acquires a web page from a server device via a communication network and causes the display unit 18 to display a screen based on the web page. Note that the web browser stores history information related to screens (web pages) displayed in the past on the display unit 18 in the storage unit 12, and has been displayed on the display unit 18 in the past in accordance with user operations. A screen (web page) is displayed on the display unit 18.

  The “music” icon 20C displayed on the main menu screen (FIG. 3) is an icon that is selected when it is desired to start a music playback program for playing back music. This music reproduction program is a program for reproducing a plurality of music data stored in the storage unit 12 in order according to the output order information.

  In the information processing apparatus 10 described above, the data output from the output unit 17 can be changed by an intuitive operation in which the user shakes the information processing apparatus 10. Hereinafter, this point will be described.

  For example, when the setting program is executed, if the user shakes the information processing apparatus 10 with the finger touching the target area of the touch panel 16, the screen displayed on the display unit 18 is the currently displayed screen. The parent screen is changed.

  Further, for example, when a web browser is being executed, if the user shakes the information processing apparatus 10 with a finger touching the target area of the touch panel 16, a screen (web page) displayed on the display unit 18 is displayed. The screen is changed to the screen displayed immediately before the currently displayed screen.

  Also, for example, when a music playback program is being executed, if the user shakes the information processing apparatus 10 with a finger in contact with the target area of the touch panel 16, the music data output from the audio output unit 19 is The music data that is currently being played back is changed to the previous music data.

  Here, the “target region” will be described. FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining an example of the “target region”. In the example shown in FIG. 5, a circular area having a radius R centering on the center position 30 of the touch panel 16 is set as the target area 32. The target region 32 is not limited to a circular region, and may be a region having a shape other than a circular shape. Further, the position of the target area 32 is not limited to the center of the touch panel 16 and may be set to another position.

  For example, when the setting program is executed, as shown in FIG. 6, for example, when the user shakes the information processing apparatus 10 with the finger F in contact with the target area 32 of the touch panel 16, the setting program is displayed on the display unit 18. The screen to be displayed is changed to the parent screen of the currently displayed screen. Even if the information processing apparatus 10 is shaken, if the target area 32 of the touch panel 16 is not touched by the user, the screen displayed on the display unit 18 is not changed, and the currently displayed screen is displayed as it is. It continues to be displayed on the part 18.

  By the way, in the information processing apparatus 10 as described above, for example, acceleration occurs in the information processing apparatus 10 due to shaking or the like when the user is walking. In such a case, if it is determined that the user has shaken the information processing apparatus 10 and the screen displayed on the display unit 18 is changed, the screen is changed although the user does not want it. become.

  As a method for preventing such a malfunction, a method of checking with the user whether or not to change the screen when it is determined that the information processing apparatus 10 has been shaken is also conceivable. However, when such a method is adopted, the user has to perform an input indicating that the screen is changed after an intuitive operation of shaking the information processing apparatus 10. As a result, the user may feel annoyed.

  In this regard, in the information processing apparatus 10, for example, even if the information processing apparatus 10 is shaken due to shaking or the like when the user is walking, as long as the target area 32 of the touch panel 16 is not touched by the user, the display unit The screen displayed at 18 is not changed. That is, when the user does not want to change the screen displayed on the display unit 18, the screen displayed on the display unit 18 is not changed even when the information processing apparatus 10 is shaken. It has become. That is, the occurrence of malfunction is prevented.

  Further, in the information processing apparatus 10, after shaking the information processing apparatus 10, the user is not required to input whether to change the screen. That is, there is no need to input whether or not to change the screen after shaking the information processing apparatus 10, and the user is not bothered.

  In the case of the information processing apparatus 10 according to the first embodiment, the degree of freedom of holding the information processing apparatus 10 when shaking the information processing apparatus 10 while touching the touch panel 16 (target region 32) is not so limited. When trying to shake the processing device 10, it is difficult to change the way the information processing device 10 is held. That is, in the information processing apparatus 10 according to the first embodiment, the user does not feel annoyance of changing how to hold the information processing apparatus 10 when the information processing apparatus 10 is shaken.

As described above, in the information processing apparatus 10 according to the first embodiment, a user interface having the following features (A) to (C) is provided as a user interface for changing data output from the output unit 17. Is to be realized.
(A) The data output from the output unit 17 can be changed by an intuitive operation of shaking the information processing apparatus 10.
(B) Preventing malfunctions.
(C) The user is not bothered.

  Hereinafter, a configuration for realizing the user interface as described above will be described. FIG. 7 is a functional block diagram showing functional blocks realized by the information processing apparatus 10 according to the first embodiment. As illustrated in FIG. 7, the information processing apparatus 10 according to the first embodiment includes a first determination unit 40, a second determination unit 42, and a change unit 44. These functional blocks are realized by the control unit 11 executing a program read from the storage unit 12.

  The first determination unit 40 determines whether the information processing apparatus 10 has been shaken by the user based on the detection result of the motion detection unit 14. For example, the first determination unit 40 determines whether or not the information processing apparatus 10 has been shaken by the user based on the acceleration detected by the acceleration sensor (motion detection unit 14). For example, when the acceleration exceeding the reference value is detected by the acceleration sensor, the first determination unit 40 determines that the information processing apparatus 10 has been shaken by the user. Note that the first determination unit 40 may determine whether or not the information processing apparatus 10 has been shaken by the user based on the angular velocity detected by the gyro sensor. For example, when the angular velocity exceeding the reference value is detected by the gyro sensor, the first determination unit 40 may determine that the information processing apparatus 10 has been shaken by the user.

  The second determination unit 42 determines whether or not the touch panel 16 is touched by the user. That is, the second determination unit 42 determines whether or not the user's finger (hand) or other part is in contact with the touch panel 16. For example, the second determination unit 42 determines whether or not the target area 32 of the touch panel 16 is touched by the user.

  When the first determination unit 40 determines that the information processing apparatus 10 has been shaken by the user, the change unit 44 changes the data output from the output unit 17 based on the determination result of the second determination unit 42.

  “Changing data output in the output unit 17” means changing the screen displayed on the display unit 18, for example. Further, “changing data output in the output unit 17” means changing audio data output from the audio output unit 19, for example.

  When it is determined by the first determination unit 40 that the information processing apparatus 10 has been shaken by the user, the change unit 44 determines whether or not to change the data output in the output unit 17, and the determination result of the second determination unit 42 Determine based on.

  For example, when the second determination unit 42 determines that the target area 32 of the touch panel 16 is not touched by the user, the changing unit 44 determines not to change the data output from the output unit 17.

  On the other hand, when the second determination unit 42 determines that the target area 32 of the touch panel 16 is touched by the user, the changing unit 44 determines to change the data output in the output unit 17, and the output unit 17 Change the output data.

  For example, if the setting program is being executed, the changing unit 44 changes the screen displayed on the display unit 18 to the parent screen of the currently displayed screen. Thereby, the user changes the screen displayed on the display unit 18 to the parent screen of the currently displayed screen by shaking the information processing apparatus 10 with the finger touching the target area 32 of the touch panel 16. It becomes possible to be able to.

  Note that the changing unit 44 may change the screen displayed on the display unit 18 to a main menu screen (the screen of the highest layer). In this way, the user can change the screen displayed on the display unit 18 to the main menu screen by shaking the information processing apparatus 10 with the finger in contact with the target area 32 of the touch panel 16. It becomes possible.

  For example, if the web browser is being executed, the changing unit 44 changes the screen displayed on the display unit 18 to the screen displayed immediately before the currently displayed screen. Accordingly, when the user shakes the information processing apparatus 10 with the finger touching the target area 32 of the touch panel 16, the screen displayed on the display unit 18 is displayed immediately before the currently displayed screen. It becomes possible to be able to change to the screen that had been.

  Note that the change unit 44 may change the screen displayed on the display unit 18 to a start screen (that is, a screen that is displayed first when the web browser is activated). In this way, the user can change the screen displayed on the display unit 18 to the start screen by shaking the information processing apparatus 10 with the finger in contact with the target area 32 of the touch panel 16. Is possible.

  For example, if the music playback program is activated, the changing unit 44 changes the music data output from the audio output unit 19 to music data before the music data currently being played back. As a result, when the user shakes the information processing apparatus 10 with his / her finger in contact with the target area 32 of the touch panel 16, the music data output from the audio output unit 19 is converted into one of the currently reproduced music data. It becomes possible to change to the previous music data.

  Note that the change unit 44 may change the music data output from the audio output unit 19 to music data next to the music data currently being played back. In this way, when the user shakes the information processing apparatus 10 with his / her finger in contact with the target area 32 of the touch panel 16, the music data output from the audio output unit 19 is changed to the currently played music. It becomes possible to change to the music data immediately after the data.

  Alternatively, the changing unit 44 may change the music data output from the audio output unit 19 to music data having the first output order. In this way, when the user shakes the information processing apparatus 10 with his / her finger in contact with the target area 32 of the touch panel 16, the music data output from the audio output unit 19 has the first output order. It becomes possible to change to music data that is.

  Next, processing executed by the information processing apparatus 10 according to the first embodiment will be described. FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing an example of processing related to the present invention among the processing executed by the information processing apparatus 10. For example, the process shown in FIG. 8 is repeatedly executed every predetermined time (for example, 1/60 seconds). The control unit 11 executes the processing shown in FIG. 8 according to the program stored in the storage unit 12 so that the control unit 11 functions as the first determination unit 40, the second determination unit 42, and the change unit 44. Become.

  As illustrated in FIG. 8, the control unit 11 (first determination unit 40) determines whether or not the information processing apparatus 10 is shaken by the user based on the detection result of the motion detection unit 14 (S101). A known method may be used as a method of determining whether or not the information processing apparatus 10 has been shaken by the user based on the detection result of the motion detection unit 14 (acceleration sensor or / and gyro sensor).

  When it is determined that the information processing apparatus 10 has been shaken by the user, the control unit 11 (second determination unit 42) determines whether or not the target area 32 of the touch panel 16 is touched by the user (S102). This determination is performed based on the contact position data stored in the storage unit 12.

  When it determines with the object area | region 32 of the touch panel 16 being touched by the user, the control part 11 (change part 44) changes the data output in the output part 17 (S103).

  For example, when the setting program is being executed, the control unit 11 changes the screen displayed on the display unit 18 to the parent screen of the currently displayed screen. The control unit 11 may change the screen displayed on the display unit 18 to a predetermined screen (for example, a main menu screen).

  For example, when the web browser is being executed, the control unit 11 changes the screen displayed on the display unit 18 to the screen displayed immediately before the currently displayed screen. Alternatively, the control unit 11 may change the screen displayed on the display unit 18 to a predetermined screen (for example, a start screen).

  Also, for example, when a music playback program is being executed, the control unit 11 changes the music data output from the audio output unit 19 to music data immediately before the music data currently being played back. Note that the control unit 11 may change the music data output from the audio output unit 19 to music data immediately after the music data currently being played back. Alternatively, the control unit 11 may change the music data output from the audio output unit 19 to predetermined music data (for example, music data having the first output order).

  If it is determined in step S101 that the information processing apparatus 10 is not shaken by the user, or if it is determined in step S102 that the target area of the touch panel 16 is not touched by the user, the control unit 11 performs step S103. Do not execute the process. That is, in these cases, the data output from the output unit 17 is not changed. This is the end of the description of the processing illustrated in FIG.

According to the information processing apparatus 10 according to the first embodiment described above, the information is output from the output unit 17 when the user shakes the information processing apparatus 10 with a finger in contact with the target region 32 of the touch panel 16. It becomes possible to change the data to be changed. According to the information processing apparatus 10 according to the first embodiment, a user interface having the following features (A) to (C) can be realized as a user interface for changing data output from the output unit 17. It becomes like this.
(A) The data output from the output unit 17 can be changed by an intuitive operation of shaking the information processing apparatus 10.
(B) Preventing malfunctions.
(C) The user is not bothered.

  Here, a modification of the first embodiment will be described.

  (1) For example, in step S102 of FIG. 8, the control unit 11 (second determination unit 42) may determine whether or not the touch panel 16 is touched by the user. That is, the position of the touch panel 16 with which the user must contact may not be limited to the target area 32. In this manner, the data output from the output unit 17 may be changed by shaking the information processing apparatus 10 with the user touching any position on the touch panel 16. .

  However, a comparison between the case where the position of the touch panel 16 that the user needs to touch is limited to the target area 32 and the case where the position of the touch panel 16 that the user needs to touch is not limited to the target area 32 is the former case. Can more reliably prevent malfunctions.

  (2) For example, in step S102 of FIG. 8, the control unit 11 (second determination unit 42) may determine whether or not the entire target region 32 of the touch panel 16 is touched by the user. And the control part 11 may be made to perform the process of step S103 only when the whole object area | region 32 of the touch panel 16 is touched by the user. In this way, the occurrence of malfunction can be prevented more reliably.

  (3) For example, in step S103 of FIG. 8, the control unit 11 (number acquisition unit) may acquire the number of times the user has shaken the information processing apparatus 10. And the control part 11 may change the data output in the output part 17 based on said frequency | count.

  Here, it is assumed that the output unit 17 sequentially outputs a plurality of pieces of data related to have a hierarchical structure according to the hierarchical structure. As described above, since the plurality of screens displayed by the setting program have a hierarchical structure in which one or a plurality of screens are associated with the hierarchy immediately below the one screen, the setting program is executed. The case corresponds to “a case where the output unit 17 sequentially outputs a plurality of pieces of data related to have a hierarchical structure according to the hierarchical structure”.

  In such a case, in step S103, the control unit 11 selects data to be output from a plurality of data based on the number of times the user has shaken the information processing apparatus 10 and the hierarchical structure described above. Data output from the output unit 17 is changed to the output target data.

  For example, if the user shakes the information processing apparatus 10 m times while the setting program is being executed, the control unit 11 changes the screen displayed on the display unit 18 to the currently displayed screen in step S103. Change to a screen that is higher than the m hierarchy.

  Next, a case is assumed where history information regarding the history of data output in the past by the output unit 17 is stored in the storage unit 12. As described above, since the web browser stores history information related to screens (web pages) displayed in the past on the display unit 18 in the storage unit 12, the case where the web browser is executed may be “ This corresponds to a case where history information regarding the history of data output in the past by the output unit 17 is stored in the storage unit 12.

  In such a case, in step S103, the control unit 11 outputs from the data output in the past in the output unit 17 based on the number of times the user has shaken the information processing apparatus 10 and the history information. The target data is selected, and the data output from the output unit 17 is changed to the output target data.

  For example, when the user shakes the information processing apparatus 10 m times while the web browser is being executed, the control unit 11 changes the screen displayed on the display unit 18 to the currently displayed screen in step S103. Change to the screen that was displayed m earlier.

  Next, it is assumed that the output unit 17 outputs a plurality of data in order according to the output order information. As described above, since the music reproduction program is configured to reproduce a plurality of music data stored in the storage unit 12 in accordance with the reproduction order information, the case where the music reproduction program is executed may be referred to as an “output unit”. 17 corresponds to a case where a plurality of data is output in order according to the output order information.

  In such a case, in step S103, the control unit 11 selects data to be output from a plurality of data based on the number of times the user has shaken the information processing apparatus 10 and the output order information. The data output from the output unit 17 is changed to the output target data.

  For example, when the user shakes the information processing apparatus 10 m times while the music playback program is being executed, the control unit 11 receives the music data output from the audio output unit 19 and is currently output in step S103. Change to m pieces of music data before the existing music data. For example, if the music data having the nth output order is output, the music data output from the audio output unit 19 is changed to the music data having the (n−m) th output order. Is done.

  (4) For example, in step S102 of FIG. 8, the control unit 11 may set the target area based on the position of the object displayed on the screen of the display unit 18.

  For example, when the menu screen shown in FIG. 4 is displayed, the control unit 11 may set an area in which the icon 20 (object) is not displayed as the target area 32 in step S102.

  Normally, when the user touches an area (icon area) on the touch panel 16 corresponding to the area where the icon 20 is displayed, a program corresponding to the icon 20 is activated. Therefore, in realizing the user interface as described above, if the user touches the target area of the touch panel 16 in order to change the data output in the output unit 17, the icon area is temporarily touched by the user. However, there is a need to take a mechanism so that the program corresponding to the icon 20 does not start. In this regard, if the target area 32 is set as described above, it is possible to eliminate the need for such a mechanism.

  When the target area 32 is set based on the position of the object displayed on the screen of the display unit 18, an image for guiding the target area 32 may be displayed on the screen.

  [Second Embodiment] Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. The appearance and hardware configuration of the information processing apparatus 10 according to the second embodiment of the present invention are the same as those of the first embodiment (FIGS. 1 and 2). In the information processing apparatus 10 according to the second embodiment, the same screen as that of the first embodiment is displayed.

  Also in the information processing apparatus 10 according to the second embodiment, the user can change the data output from the output unit 17 by an intuitive operation of shaking the information processing apparatus 10. Hereinafter, this point will be described.

  For example, when the setting program is executed, if the user shakes the information processing apparatus 10 in a state where the area of the touch panel 16 (contact area) touched by the user is equal to or larger than a reference value, the information is displayed on the display unit 18. The screen to be displayed is changed to the parent screen of the currently displayed screen.

  Further, for example, when a web browser is being executed, if the user shakes the information processing apparatus 10 in a state where the area of the contact area is equal to or larger than the reference value, a screen (web page) displayed on the display unit 18 is displayed. The screen is changed to the screen displayed immediately before the currently displayed screen.

  Further, for example, when a music playback program is being executed, if the user shakes the information processing apparatus 10 with the area of the contact area being equal to or larger than the reference value, the music data output from the audio output unit 19 is currently The music data is changed to the music data immediately before the music data being reproduced.

  That is, even if the information processing apparatus 10 is shaken, the screen displayed on the display unit 18 and the music data output from the audio output unit 19 are not changed unless the area of the contact area is equal to or larger than the reference value. It has become.

  For this reason, for example, even if the information processing apparatus 10 is shaken due to shaking or the like when the user is walking, as long as the area of the contact area is not equal to or greater than the reference value, the screen displayed on the display unit 18 and the audio output The music data output from the unit 19 is not changed. That is, if the user does not want to change the screen displayed on the display unit 18 or the music data output from the audio output unit 19, even if the information processing apparatus 10 is shaken, the display The screen displayed on the unit 18 and the music data output from the audio output unit 19 are not changed. That is, the occurrence of malfunction is prevented.

  Further, in the information processing apparatus 10, after the information processing apparatus 10 is shaken, the user is not requested to input whether to change the screen (or music data). That is, there is no need to input whether or not to change the screen (or music data) after shaking the information processing apparatus 10, and the user is not bothered. .

As described above, in the information processing apparatus 10 according to the second embodiment, a user interface having the following features (A) to (C) is provided as a user interface for changing data output from the output unit 17. Is to be realized.
(A) The data output from the output unit 17 can be changed by an intuitive operation of shaking the information processing apparatus 10.
(B) Preventing malfunctions.
(C) The user is not bothered.

  FIG. 9 is a functional block diagram showing functional blocks realized by the information processing apparatus 10 according to the second embodiment. As illustrated in FIG. 9, the information processing apparatus 10 according to the second embodiment includes a first determination unit 40, a second determination unit 42, a change unit 44 </ b> A, a fourth determination unit 52, and a restriction unit 54. These functional blocks are realized by the control unit 11 executing a program read from the storage unit 12. In addition, since the 1st determination part 40 and the 2nd determination part 42 are the same as that of 1st Embodiment, description is abbreviate | omitted here.

  The changing unit 44A includes a third determination unit 50. When the second determination unit 42 determines that the touch panel 16 is touched by the user, the third determination unit 50 determines whether the area of the area of the touch panel 16 touched by the user is greater than or equal to a reference value. Determine.

  44 A of changing parts change the data output in the output part 17 based on the determination result of the 3rd determination part 50, when the 1st determination part 40 determines with the information processing apparatus 10 being shaken by the user. .

  As in the first embodiment, “changing data output in the output unit 17” means changing the screen displayed on the display unit 18, for example. Further, “changing data output from the output unit 17” means, for example, changing audio data output from the audio output unit 19.

  For example, the changing unit 44 </ b> A determines whether to change the data output from the output unit 17 based on the determination result of the third determination unit 50. For example, when the third determination unit 50 determines that the area is less than the reference value, the changing unit 44A determines that the data output from the output unit 17 is not changed. On the other hand, when the third determination unit 50 determines that the area is equal to or larger than the reference value, the changing unit 44A determines to change the data output from the output unit 17, and changes the data output from the output unit 17. To do. A specific example of how to change the data output in the output unit 17 is the same as in the first embodiment.

  The fourth determination unit 52 determines whether or not the position of the area of the touch panel 16 that is touched by the user is a predetermined position.

  The “predetermined position” is, for example, the center position 30 of the touch panel 16. For example, the fourth determination unit 52 determines whether or not the area of the touch panel 16 touched by the user includes the center position 30. When the area of the touch panel 16 touched by the user includes the center position 30, the fourth determination unit 52 determines that the position of the area of the touch panel 16 touched by the user is a predetermined position. On the other hand, when the area of the touch panel 16 touched by the user does not include the center position 30, the fourth determination unit 52 determines that the position of the area of the touch panel 16 touched by the user is not a predetermined position. The “predetermined position” may be a position other than the center position 30.

  When the fourth determination unit 52 determines that the position of the area of the touch panel 16 touched by the user is not a predetermined position, the limiting unit 54 changes the data output from the output unit 17 by the changing unit 44A. Is restricted (prohibited).

  On the other hand, when the fourth determination unit 52 determines that the position of the area of the touch panel 16 that is touched by the user is a predetermined position, the limiting unit 54 determines that the data output from the output unit 17 is changed by the changing unit 44A. Do not restrict (prohibit) changes. That is, the restricting unit 54 allows the changing unit 44 </ b> A to change the data output from the output unit 17.

  Next, processing executed by the information processing apparatus 10 according to the second embodiment will be described. FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing an example of processing related to the present invention among the processing executed by the information processing apparatus 10 according to the second embodiment. For example, the process shown in FIG. 10 is repeatedly executed every predetermined time (for example, 1/60 seconds). The control unit 11 executes the processing shown in FIG. 10 according to the program stored in the storage unit 12, so that the control unit 11 performs the first determination unit 40, the second determination unit 42, and the change unit 44A (the third determination unit 50). ), Functions as the fourth determination unit 52 and the limiting unit 54.

  As illustrated in FIG. 10, the control unit 11 (first determination unit 40) determines whether or not the information processing apparatus 10 is shaken by the user based on the detection result of the motion detection unit 14 (S201). The process of step S201 is the same as the process of step S101 in FIG.

  When it is determined that the information processing apparatus 10 has been shaken by the user, the control unit 11 (fourth determination unit 52) determines whether or not the position of the area of the touch panel 16 touched by the user is a predetermined position. (S202).

  In step S <b> 202, the control unit 11 first acquires the area of the touch panel 16 that is touched by the user based on the contact position data stored in the storage unit 12.

  For example, for each of a plurality of contact positions indicated by the contact position data, the control unit 11 acquires a circular area having a predetermined radius centered on the contact position, and sets the set of the circular areas as “contacted by the user. Acquired as “area of touch panel 16”. Or the control part 11 acquires the line | wire which connects the some contact position which contact position data show, and the area | region where the distance from this line is less than reference distance is "area | region of the touch panel 16 currently touched by the user." Get as. Alternatively, the control unit 11 acquires an area surrounded by a plurality of contact positions indicated by the contact position data as “an area of the touch panel 16 being touched by the user”. That is, the control unit 11 acquires an area surrounded by a line connecting a plurality of contact positions indicated by the contact position data as “an area of the touch panel 16 being touched by the user”.

  Then, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the center position 30 of the touch panel 16 is included in the area acquired as described above. When the center position 30 of the touch panel 16 is included in the area, the control unit 11 determines that the position of the area of the touch panel 16 touched by the user is a predetermined position. On the other hand, when the center position 30 of the touch panel 16 is not included in the area, the control unit 11 determines that the position of the area of the touch panel 16 touched by the user is not a predetermined position.

  When it is determined in step S202 that the position of the area of the touch panel 16 touched by the user is a predetermined position, the control unit 11 (third determination unit 50) determines the area of the touch panel 16 touched by the user. It is determined whether or not the area is equal to or greater than a reference value (S203).

  When it determines with the area of the area | region of the touch panel 16 currently touched by the user being more than a reference value, the control part 11 (change part 44A) changes the data output in the output part 17 (S204). The processing in step S204 is the same as that in step S103 in FIG.

  If it is determined in step S201 that the information processing apparatus 10 has not been shaken by the user, the control unit 11 does not execute step S204. That is, in this case, the screen displayed on the display unit 18 and the music data output from the audio output unit 19 are not changed. The same applies when it is determined in step S202 that the position of the area of the touch panel 16 touched by the user is not a predetermined position. The same applies when it is determined in step S203 that the area of the area of the touch panel 16 touched by the user is less than the reference value. This is the end of the description of the processing illustrated in FIG.

According to the information processing apparatus according to the second embodiment described above, the user outputs the data output from the output unit 17 by shaking the information processing apparatus 10 in a state where the area of the contact area is equal to or larger than the reference value. It will be possible to change. According to the information processing apparatus 10 according to the second embodiment, a user interface having the following features (A) to (C) can be realized as a user interface for changing data output from the output unit 17. It becomes like this.
(A) The data output from the output unit 17 can be changed by an intuitive operation of shaking the information processing apparatus 10.
(B) Preventing malfunctions.
(C) The user is not bothered.

  Here, a modification of the second embodiment will be described.

  (1) For example, when the output unit 17 outputs a plurality of pieces of data related to have a hierarchical structure in order according to the hierarchical structure, the changing unit 44A may perform the following operation. Good. As described above, since the plurality of screens displayed by the setting program have a hierarchical structure in which one or a plurality of screens are associated with the hierarchy immediately below the one screen, the setting program is executed. This corresponds to the case where the output unit 17 outputs a plurality of pieces of data related to have a hierarchical structure in order according to the hierarchical structure.

  When the first determination unit 40 determines that the information processing apparatus 10 has been shaken by the user, if the determination result of the third determination unit 50 is the first result, the changing unit 44A (first changing unit) The data output from the output unit 17 may be changed to predetermined data among a plurality of data. Here, the “first result” is, for example, a determination result that the area of the region of the touch panel 16 touched by the user is equal to or larger than a reference value. The “predetermined data” is, for example, data in the highest hierarchy (for example, a main menu screen).

  On the other hand, when the first determination unit 40 determines that the information processing apparatus 10 has been shaken by the user, if the determination result of the third determination unit 50 is the second result, the change unit 44A (second change unit) ) May change the data output from the output unit 17 to data directly above or directly below the data currently output by the output unit 17. Here, the “second result” is, for example, a determination result that the area of the region of the touch panel 16 touched by the user is less than a reference value.

  In order to realize the operation of the changing unit 44A as described above, for example, the process illustrated in FIG. 11 may be executed instead of the process illustrated in FIG. Note that the processes in steps S301 to S303 in FIG. 11 are the same as those in steps S201 to S203 in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 11, when it is determined in step S <b> 303 that the area of the area of the touch panel 16 touched by the user is equal to or larger than the reference value, the control unit 11 (the changing unit 44 </ b> A) outputs in the output unit 17. The data to be changed is changed to predetermined data (S304). For example, the control unit 11 changes the screen displayed on the display unit 18 to the main menu screen (FIG. 3).

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the area of the area of the touch panel 16 touched by the user is less than the reference value, the control unit 11 (the changing unit 44A) sets the data output from the output unit 17 as the previous data. (S305). For example, the control unit 11 changes the screen displayed on the display unit 18 to the parent screen of the currently displayed screen. In the process shown in FIG. 11, the process of step S304 and the process of step S305 may be interchanged.

  If it is determined in step S301 that the information processing apparatus 10 has not been shaken by the user, the control unit 11 does not execute the processes in steps S304 and S305. That is, in this case, the screen displayed on the display unit 18 is not changed. The same applies when it is determined in step S302 that the position of the area of the touch panel 16 touched by the user is not a predetermined position. This is the end of the description of the processing illustrated in FIG.

  In this way, it becomes possible for the user to instruct how to change the screen displayed on the display unit 18 by adjusting the area of the contact area.

  (2) For example, when history information regarding the history of data output by the output unit 17 in the past is stored in the storage unit 12, the changing unit 44A may perform the following operation. Note that, as described above, since the web browser stores history information related to screens (web pages) previously displayed on the display unit 18 in the storage unit 12, the web browser is being executed. Corresponds to “a case where history information regarding the history of data output by the output unit 17 in the past is stored in the storage unit 12”.

  When the first determination unit 40 determines that the information processing apparatus 10 has been shaken by the user, if the determination result of the third determination unit 50 is the first result, the changing unit 44A (first changing unit) The data output from the output unit 17 may be changed to predetermined data. The “first result” is, for example, a determination result that the area of the region of the touch panel 16 that is touched by the user is equal to or larger than a reference value. “Predetermined data” is, for example, a start screen (start page).

  On the other hand, when the first determination unit 40 determines that the information processing apparatus 10 has been shaken by the user, if the determination result of the third determination unit 50 is the second result, the change unit 44A (second change unit) ) May change the data output from the output unit 17 to the data output immediately before the data currently output from the output unit 17. The “second result” is, for example, a determination result that the area of the area of the touch panel 16 that is touched by the user is less than a reference value.

  Processing for realizing the operation of the changing unit 44A as described above will be described. The process for realizing the operation of the changing unit 44A as described above is similar to the process shown in FIG. However, in this case, in step S304, the control unit 11 changes the screen displayed on the display unit 18 to a start screen. On the other hand, in step S305, the control unit 11 changes the screen displayed on the display unit 18 to the screen displayed immediately before the currently displayed screen.

  In this way, it becomes possible for the user to instruct how to change the screen displayed on the display unit 18 by adjusting the area of the contact area.

  (3) For example, when the output unit 17 sequentially outputs a plurality of data according to the output order information, the changing unit 44A may perform the following operation. As described above, since the music reproduction program is configured to reproduce a plurality of music data stored in the storage unit 12 in accordance with the reproduction order information, the case where the music reproduction program is executed may be referred to as an “output unit”. 17 corresponds to a case where a plurality of data is output in order according to the output order information.

  When the first determination unit 40 determines that the information processing apparatus 10 has been shaken by the user, if the determination result of the third determination unit 50 is the first result, the changing unit 44A (first changing unit) The data output from the output unit 17 may be changed to predetermined data. The “first result” is, for example, a determination result that the area of the region of the touch panel 16 that is touched by the user is equal to or larger than a reference value. The “predetermined data” is, for example, music data with the first output order.

  On the other hand, when the first determination unit 40 determines that the information processing apparatus 10 has been shaken by the user, if the determination result of the third determination unit 50 is the second result, the change unit 44A (second change unit) ) May change the data output from the output unit 17 to data immediately before or after data currently output by the output unit 17.

  The “second result” is, for example, a determination result that the area of the area of the touch panel 16 that is touched by the user is less than a reference value. Further, for example, when the output unit 17 outputs the data whose output order is the nth, the data whose output order is the (n−1) th is “the data currently being output by the output unit 17. The data having the (n + 1) th output order corresponds to “the data immediately after the data currently output by the output unit 17”.

  Processing for realizing the operation of the changing unit 44A as described above will be described. The process for realizing the operation of the changing unit 44A as described above is similar to the process shown in FIG. However, in this case, in step S304, the control unit 11 changes the music data output from the audio output unit 19 to music data having the first output order. On the other hand, in step S305, the control unit 11 changes the music data output from the audio output unit 19 to music data immediately before the music data currently being played back. In step S305, the control unit 11 may change the music data output from the audio output unit 19 to music data immediately after the music data currently being played back.

  In this way, it becomes possible for the user to instruct how to change the music data output from the audio output unit 19 by adjusting the area of the contact area.

  (4) For example, in step S305 in FIG. 11, the control unit 11 (number acquisition unit) may acquire the number of times the user has shaken the information processing apparatus 10 based on the detection result of the motion detection unit 14. . Then, the control unit 11 may select any data as output target data based on the above number of times, and change the data output from the output unit 17 to the output target data.

  Here, it is assumed that the output unit 17 sequentially outputs a plurality of pieces of data related to have a hierarchical structure according to the hierarchical structure. As described above, since the plurality of screens displayed by the setting program have a hierarchical structure in which one or a plurality of screens are associated with the hierarchy immediately below the one screen, the setting program is executed. The case corresponds to “a case where the output unit 17 sequentially outputs a plurality of pieces of data related to have a hierarchical structure according to the hierarchical structure”.

  In such a case, in step S305, the control unit 11 selects data to be output from a plurality of data based on the number of times the user has shaken the information processing apparatus 10 and the hierarchical structure described above. Data output from the output unit 17 is changed to the output target data.

  For example, if the user shakes the information processing apparatus 10 m times while the setting program is being executed, the control unit 11 changes the screen displayed on the display unit 18 to the currently displayed screen in step S305. Change to a screen that is higher than the m hierarchy.

  Next, a case is assumed where history information regarding the history of data output in the past by the output unit 17 is stored in the storage unit 12. As described above, since the web browser stores history information related to screens (web pages) displayed in the past on the display unit 18 in the storage unit 12, the case where the web browser is executed may be “ This corresponds to a case where history information regarding the history of data output in the past by the output unit 17 is stored in the storage unit 12.

  In such a case, in step S305, the control unit 11 outputs from the data output in the past in the output unit 17 based on the number of times the user shakes the information processing apparatus 10 and the history information. The target data is selected, and the data output from the output unit 17 is changed to the output target data.

  For example, when the user shakes the information processing apparatus 10 m times while the web browser is being executed, the control unit 11 changes the screen displayed on the display unit 18 to the currently displayed screen in step S305. Change to the screen that was displayed m earlier.

  Next, it is assumed that the output unit 17 outputs a plurality of data in order according to the output order information. As described above, since the music reproduction program is configured to reproduce a plurality of music data stored in the storage unit 12 in accordance with the reproduction order information, the case where the music reproduction program is executed may be referred to as an “output unit”. 17 corresponds to a case where a plurality of data is output in order according to the output order information.

  In such a case, in step S305, the control unit 11 selects data to be output from a plurality of data based on the number of times the user has shaken the information processing apparatus 10 and the output order information. The data output from the output unit 17 is changed to the output target data.

  For example, when the user shakes the information processing apparatus 10 m times while the music playback program is being executed, in step S305, the control unit 11 receives the music data output from the audio output unit 19 and is currently output. Change to m pieces of music data before the existing music data. For example, if the music data having the nth output order is output, the music data output from the audio output unit 19 is changed to the music data having the (n−m) th output order. Is done.

  In this way, by adjusting the number of times the user shakes the information processing apparatus 10, it is instructed how to change the screen displayed on the display unit 18 and the music data output from the audio output unit 19. It becomes possible to be able to.

  (5) For example, the fourth determination unit 52 and the restriction unit 54 may be omitted. That is, the process in step S202 in FIG. 10 and the process in step S302 in FIG. 11 may be removed.

  (6) For example, in step S202 of FIG. 10 and step S302 of FIG. 11, the control unit 11 (fourth determination unit 52) sets the “predetermined position” based on the position of the object displayed on the screen. You may make it do.

  For example, when the menu screen shown in FIG. 4 is displayed, in steps S202 and S302, the control unit 11 sets a position where the icon 20 (object) is not displayed as the “predetermined position”. May be.

  Normally, when the user touches an area (icon area) on the touch panel 16 corresponding to the area where the icon 20 is displayed, a program corresponding to the icon 20 is activated. Therefore, in realizing the user interface as described above, if the user touches the touch panel 16 to change the data output in the output unit 17, even if the icon area is touched by the user, There is a need to take a mechanism so that the program corresponding to the icon 20 does not start. In this regard, if the “predetermined position” is set as described above, it is possible to eliminate the necessity of taking the above-described mechanism.

  When setting the “predetermined position” based on the position of the object displayed on the screen of the display unit 18, an image for guiding the “predetermined position” may be displayed on the screen.

  [Third Embodiment] Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described. The appearance and hardware configuration of the information processing apparatus 10 according to the third embodiment of the present invention are the same as those in the first embodiment (FIGS. 1 and 2). In the information processing apparatus 10 according to the third embodiment, the same screen as that of the first embodiment is displayed.

  Also in the information processing apparatus 10 according to the third embodiment, the user can change the data output from the output unit 17 by an intuitive operation of shaking the information processing apparatus 10. Hereinafter, this point will be described.

  In the information processing apparatus 10 according to the third embodiment, the acceleration of the information processing apparatus 10 corresponds to the area of the contact area (the area of the touch panel 16 touched by the user) while the user is touching the touch panel 16. Only when the information processing apparatus 10 is swung so as to be equal to or higher than the reference acceleration, the data output from the output unit 17 is changed.

  FIG. 12 shows an example of correspondence information indicating the correspondence between the area of the contact region and the reference acceleration. In FIG. 12, “S1” and “S2” indicate predetermined areas, and these have a relationship of “S1 <S2”. “A1”, “A2”, and “A3” indicate predetermined accelerations, and these have a relationship of “A1 <A2 <A3”. In the correspondence relationship information shown in FIG. 12, the reference acceleration increases as the area of the contact region increases.

  For example, when the user touches the touch panel 16 with one finger (that is, when the area of the contact area is small), the screen displayed on the display unit 18 even if the acceleration of the information processing apparatus 10 is small. In addition, the music data output from the audio output unit 19 is changed. In addition, when the user holds the information processing apparatus 10 with three fingers in contact with the touch panel 16 (that is, when the area of the contact area is large), the acceleration of the information processing apparatus 10 must be large. The screen displayed on the display unit 18 and the music data output from the audio output unit 19 are not changed.

  FIG. 13 is a functional block diagram showing functional blocks realized by the information processing apparatus 10 according to the third embodiment. As illustrated in FIG. 13, the information processing apparatus 10 according to the third embodiment includes a first determination unit 40, a second determination unit 42, and a change unit 44B. These functional blocks are realized by the control unit 11 executing a program read from the storage unit 12. In addition, since the 1st determination part 40 and the 2nd determination part 42 are the same as that of 1st Embodiment, description is abbreviate | omitted here.

  The change unit 44B includes a third determination unit 60. When it is determined that the information processing apparatus 10 has been shaken by the user, the third determination unit 60 uses the acceleration sensor detection result as an acceleration generated in the information processing apparatus 10 as a result of the information processing apparatus 10 being shaken by the user. Get based on. And the 3rd determination part 60 determines whether this acceleration is more than a reference acceleration.

  The third determination unit 60 includes a reference acceleration setting unit 62. The reference acceleration setting unit 62 sets the reference acceleration based on the area of the area (contact area) of the touch panel 16 that is touched by the user. For example, the reference acceleration setting unit 62 sets the reference acceleration based on the area of the contact area and the correspondence information shown in FIG. The correspondence information shown in FIG. 12 is information in a table format, but the correspondence information indicating the correspondence between the area of the contact region and the reference acceleration calculates the reference acceleration based on the area of the contact region. The information which shows the numerical formula of may be sufficient.

  When the first determination unit 40 determines that the information processing apparatus 10 has been shaken by the user, the change unit 44B changes the data output in the output unit 17 based on the determination result of the third determination unit 60. .

  As in the first embodiment, “changing data output in the output unit 17” means changing the screen displayed on the display unit 18, for example. Further, “changing data output from the output unit 17” means, for example, changing audio data output from the audio output unit 19.

  For example, the changing unit 44 </ b> B determines whether to change the data output from the output unit 17 based on the determination result of the third determination unit 60. For example, when the third determination unit 60 determines that the acceleration of the information processing apparatus 10 is less than the reference acceleration, the changing unit 44B determines that the data output from the output unit 17 is not changed. On the other hand, when the third determination unit 60 determines that the acceleration of the information processing apparatus 10 is equal to or higher than the reference acceleration, the changing unit 44B determines to change the data output in the output unit 17 and outputs the data in the output unit 17. Change the data to be displayed. A specific example of how to change the data output in the output unit 17 is the same as in the first embodiment.

  Next, processing executed by the information processing apparatus 10 according to the third embodiment will be described. FIG. 14 is a flowchart illustrating an example of processing related to the present invention among the processing executed by the information processing apparatus 10 according to the third embodiment. For example, the process shown in FIG. 14 is repeatedly executed every predetermined time (for example, 1/60 seconds). The control unit 11 executes the processing shown in FIG. 14 according to the program stored in the storage unit 12 so that the control unit 11 functions as the first determination unit 40, the second determination unit 42, and the change unit 44B. Become.

  As illustrated in FIG. 14, the control unit 11 (first determination unit 40) determines whether or not the information processing apparatus 10 has been shaken by the user based on the detection result of the motion detection unit 14 (S401). The process in step S401 is the same as the process in step S101 in FIG.

  When it is determined that the information processing apparatus 10 has been shaken by the user, the control unit 11 (second determination unit 42) determines whether or not the touch panel 16 is touched by the user (S402). The control unit 11 performs this determination based on the contact position data stored in the storage unit 12.

  When it determines with the touch panel 16 being touched by the user, the control part 11 acquires the area of the area | region (contact area) of the touch panel 16 currently touched by the user (S403). The area acquisition method is the same as step S203 in FIG.

  And the control part 11 (reference | standard acceleration setting part 62) sets a reference | standard acceleration based on the area acquired by step S403 (S404). For example, the control unit 11 refers to the correspondence relationship information illustrated in FIG. 12 and acquires the reference acceleration corresponding to the area of the contact region.

  Moreover, the control part 11 (3rd determination part 60) determines whether the acceleration of the information processing apparatus 10 is more than the reference | standard acceleration set by step S404 (S405). That is, the control unit 11 acquires the acceleration of the information processing apparatus 10 based on the detection result of the motion detection unit 14 (acceleration sensor). For example, the control unit 11 acquires the acceleration of the information processing apparatus 10 by synthesizing three acceleration vectors indicating the accelerations in the three axial directions. And the control part 11 determines whether the acceleration is more than a reference | standard acceleration.

  When it determines with the acceleration of the information processing apparatus 10 being more than a reference | standard acceleration, the control part 11 (change part 44B) changes the data output in the output part 17 (S406). The process of step S406 is the same as step S103 of FIG.

  If it is determined in step S401 that the information processing apparatus 10 is not shaken by the user, the control unit 11 does not execute step S406. That is, in this case, the screen displayed on the display unit 18 and the music data output from the audio output unit 19 are not changed. The same applies when it is determined in step S402 that the touch panel 16 is not touched by the user. The same applies to the case where it is determined in step S405 that the acceleration of the information processing apparatus 10 is less than the reference acceleration. This is the end of the description of the processing illustrated in FIG.

According to the information processing apparatus 10 according to the third embodiment described above, the user shakes the information processing apparatus 10 so that the acceleration of the information processing apparatus 10 is equal to or higher than the reference acceleration according to the area of the contact region. It becomes possible to change the data output from the output unit 17. According to the information processing apparatus 10 according to the third embodiment, a user interface having the following features (A) to (C) can be realized as a user interface for changing data output from the output unit 17. It becomes like this.
(A) The data output from the output unit 17 can be changed by an intuitive operation of shaking the information processing apparatus 10.
(B) Preventing malfunctions.
(C) The user is not bothered.

  In the information processing apparatus 10 according to the third embodiment, for example, when the user touches the touch panel 16 with one finger (that is, when the area of the contact area is small), the acceleration of the information processing apparatus 10 is increased. Even if it is small, the screen displayed on the display unit 18 and the music data output from the audio output unit 19 change. In addition, when the user holds the information processing apparatus 10 with three fingers in contact with the touch panel 16 (that is, when the area of the contact area is large), the acceleration of the information processing apparatus 10 must be large. The screen displayed on the display unit 18 and the music data output from the audio output unit 19 are not changed.

  Here, a modification of the third embodiment will be described.

  For example, only when the user shakes the information processing device 10 so that the angular velocity of the information processing device 10 is equal to or higher than the reference angular velocity corresponding to the area of the contact area while touching the touch panel 16, the output unit 17. The data output in step 1 may be changed.

  That is, the third determination unit 60 may determine whether the angular velocity generated in the information processing device 10 due to the user shaking the information processing device 10 is equal to or higher than the reference angular velocity.

  Further, the third determination unit 60 may include a reference angular velocity setting unit instead of the reference acceleration setting unit 62. The reference angular velocity setting unit sets the reference acceleration based on the area of the area (contact area) of the touch panel 16 that is touched by the user. In this case, instead of the correspondence information shown in FIG. 12, correspondence information indicating the correspondence between the area of the contact region and the reference angular velocity may be used.

  Further, in step S404 of FIG. 14, instead of setting the reference acceleration, the reference angular velocity may be set based on the area acquired in step S403. Further, in step S405 of FIG. 14, instead of determining whether or not the acceleration of the information processing apparatus 10 is equal to or higher than the reference acceleration, it is determined whether or not the angular velocity of the information processing apparatus 10 is equal to or higher than the reference angular speed. May be.

  Note that the present invention is not limited to the first embodiment, the second embodiment, and the third embodiment described above.

  (1) For example, in the above description, the music reproduction program is executed by the information processing apparatus 10, but a program for reproducing content other than music may be executed by the information processing apparatus 10. .

  For example, a program for displaying an electronic book may be executed. This program is a program for displaying each page of the electronic book in order according to the page order (output order information). Further, for example, a program for playing back video may be executed. This program is a program for displaying each chapter of a video in order according to chapter order (output order information). Further, for example, a program for displaying a plurality of images in order according to the output order information may be executed.

  (2) For example, a touch panel may be provided on the back surface of the information processing apparatus 10. Then, instead of the touch panel 16 provided on the front surface 10A of the information processing apparatus 10, a touch panel provided on the back surface may be used. When a touch panel is provided on the back surface of the information processing apparatus 10, the touch panel 16 provided on the front surface 10A may be removed.
