Description

  The present invention relates to a display control device and a display control method.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a display control method is known in which a display item and an instruction item are displayed on a screen, and a predetermined process is performed by dragging and dropping the display item onto the instruction item.

  For example, an instruction to delete an image is given to an instruction item called a trash can by dragging and dropping the image. In this way, a display item such as an image is moved with respect to an instruction item such as an icon indicating an operation arranged on the screen, thereby instructing processing for the display item.

  By the way, if the reduced image icon becomes smaller due to an increase in the number of data files to be edited, for example, the image becomes rough and the details become difficult to see, making it difficult to identify the original image data. is there. In order to solve this problem, if the reduced image icon is enlarged, not all reduced image icons can be displayed, or multiple processing icons are overlapped during the drag and drop operation, and the desired processing icon can be specified. There is a problem that it becomes difficult.

  Furthermore, if the reduced image icon is enlarged, there is a problem that the amount of display processing during drag increases. Therefore, for example, Patent Document 1 proposes an image data editing operation method that makes it easy to perform a drag-and-drop operation while maintaining the visibility of a reduced image.

JP 2001-273066 A

  In the image data editing method proposed in Patent Document 1, since an icon is assigned to a reduced image in advance and the assigned icon is operated, there is a problem that the display processing amount during drag increases. Can be resolved. However, when many images are displayed at a time, the larger the number of displayed images, the smaller the image size per sheet. For this reason, when selecting an image, the details of the image become indistinguishable, and when moving to an instruction item as it is to instruct processing, there is a possibility that an instruction will be given to the wrong image. It was.

  Also, in an image playback device that has a single playback mode for displaying and confirming a single image on the entire screen and a multi-playback mode for checking multiple images at once, the display mode can be changed by the user. It can be displayed. In the case of multi-play that is displayed small per image, it is easy to instruct the processing by moving to an instruction item placed on the screen. However, if an image is selected during single playback, the instruction item placed on the screen And the images have already overlapped. For this reason, it is difficult to move to an instruction item and instruct processing.

In multi-stage multi-reproduction, the more images are displayed at a time, the smaller the image size per image becomes. For this reason, even if an image is selected, the details of the image cannot be discriminated, and if the process is instructed by moving to the instruction item as it is, there is a possibility that an instruction for the process will be given to the wrong image. was there.
The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and has an object to allow a processing instruction to be performed by making the size of a display item easier to operate when the display item is moved to the instruction item. To do.

The display control apparatus according to the present invention includes a display control unit that controls the display item to be displayed on the display unit, a reception unit that receives an operation of moving the display item displayed on the display unit on the display unit, In response to the display item being selected and made movable by the operation received by the receiving means, the selected display item is displayed in a size different from the display size before the selection, and the selected display item is displayed. Control means for controlling to display an instruction item that is an instruction item for instructing a specific process and has not been displayed before the selection of the selected display item, and the selected display item is the instruction item A processing unit that executes the specific processing on the selected display item in response to being moved to the display position of If has the control means controls so as to display a plurality of display items, said control means, to display the instruction item in place of the different display items and display items the selected It is characterized by controlling .

The touch panel is touched with a finger or a pen (hereinafter referred to as touch-on). The touch panel is moved while being touched with a finger or a pen (hereinafter referred to as a move). The finger or pen that was touching the touch panel is released (hereinafter referred to as touch-up). A state where nothing is touched on the touch panel (hereinafter referred to as touch-off). These operations and the position coordinates where the finger or pen touches the touch panel are notified to the CPU 101 through the internal bus 111, and the CPU 101 determines what operation has been performed on the touch panel based on the notified information. . Regarding the move, the moving direction of the finger or pen moving on the touch panel can also be determined for each vertical component / horizontal component on the touch panel based on the change of the position coordinates.

  Further, it is assumed that a stroke is drawn when touch-up is performed on the touch panel through a certain move from touch-down. The operation of drawing a stroke quickly is called a flick. A flick is an operation of quickly moving a certain distance while touching a finger on the touch panel and then releasing it, in other words, an operation of quickly tracing a finger on the touch panel. If it is detected that the moving is performed at a predetermined speed or more over a predetermined distance, and a touch-up is detected as it is, it can be determined that a flick has been performed. The touch panel may use any of various types of touch panels such as a resistive film type, a capacitance type, a surface acoustic wave type, an infrared type, an electromagnetic induction type, an image recognition type, and an optical sensor type. .

  The recording medium drive 106 is a device that reads data stored in an external recording medium 108 such as a CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, or flash memory, and writes data to the external recording medium 108. The network interface 107 is connected to the network 110 via the communication line 109.

  The CPU 101 can also execute a program on the network 110 via the network interface 107, and the present invention can also be applied to a program on the network 110. Further, by connecting to the printer 113 via the USB interface 112, the CPU 101 can execute a program for the printer 113 via the USB interface 112.

  FIG. 2 shows a display example on the display 104. In this embodiment, for example, a display switching button (not shown) in the input unit 105 is pressed. As a result, the image mode can be switched between the single reproduction mode (a) in which one image is displayed on the display 104 and the multiple reproduction mode (b) in which a plurality of images are displayed as a list.

  FIG. 3A shows a display on the display 104 when an image is selected. An instruction item indicating the content of processing performed on the selected display item is displayed around the selected image that is a display item. In FIG. 3A, 300 is a display item that is a selected image, and 311, 312, 313, and 314 are instruction items that indicate processing. When the display item 300 moves into the area of each instruction item, the process indicated by each instruction item is performed on the display item.

  In FIG. 3A, an area 301 is an area for an instruction item 311 indicating image sharing, and an area 302 is an area for an instruction item 312 for tagging an image. An area 303 is an area for an instruction item 313 indicating deletion of an image, and an area 304 is an area for an instruction item 314 indicating printing for an image. By moving the selected image to the area of the instruction item, an instruction for the image is performed. FIG. 3B shows a state in which processing for the selected image is instructed.

Next, an example of the processing procedure of the display control apparatus of this embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
When the processing starts, first, in S401, as shown in FIG. 2A, the display is performed in the single playback mode, which is the second display mode for displaying the display item in a large size. In this single playback mode, Multi Play Flag = FALSE is set.

Next, in S402, it is determined whether or not there is an operation with the switching button described above. If the result of this determination is that image display switching has not been performed, processing proceeds to S404. On the other hand, when the switching operation is performed, the process proceeds to S403, and as shown in FIG. 2B, the multi-playback is performed by operating in the first display mode in which a plurality of images are simultaneously displayed on the display screen. , Multi Play Flag = TRUE.
In step S404, it is determined whether an image is selected. When selecting an image using the mouse, the user operates the mouse cursor displayed on the screen of the display 104 by moving the mouse, and moves the mouse cursor on the image to be selected and clicks. When an image is selected using the touch panel, the position on the display 104 where the image to be selected is displayed is touched. That is, in S404, when the CPU 101 detects a click with the mouse cursor at a position in the displayed image or detects a touchdown for the position of the displayed image, the CPU 101 determines that the image at that position has been selected. .

  In S404, if selection acceptance for accepting an instruction to select a display item displayed on the display screen is performed, the process proceeds to S405, where it is determined whether or not the selected image is being single-played. When an image is selected at the time of single reproduction shown in FIG. 2A, the process proceeds to S406, and a display item size changing process is performed for resizing and changing the display size of the selected display item. Specifically, a size control process is performed to reduce the size of the selected image 200 displayed largely on the display 104. If the multi-playback is being performed, the process proceeds to S407, and images other than the selected image 201 are not displayed.

When the process of S406 or S407 ends, the process proceeds to S408. In S408, a plurality of instruction items 311 to 314 are displayed.
Next, the process proceeds to S409, and if the designated items 311 to 314 and the image (display item 300) overlap with each other as they are, the position is adjusted. In this example, as an example, as shown in FIG. 3A, the selection image 300 is always arranged in the middle, and the instruction items 311 to 314 are displayed in the vicinity. Note that the selected image 300 in FIG. 3 is an image obtained by resizing the selected image 200 in FIG.

  Subsequently, the CPU 101 moves the display position while the selected image remains selected based on the user operation. As a user operation for moving the selected image, when a mouse is used, there is a known drag operation for moving the mouse while continuing to click when the selected image is selected. Further, when a touch panel is used, there is an operation of performing a move while continuing a touch-down touch when a selected image is selected. When the move is the above-mentioned flick operation, the display position of the selected image moves while decelerating according to the direction and speed of the move before the touch-up even after touch-up. The movement is completed when a predetermined condition such as the movement to the position is satisfied. When the move is not the flick operation described above but a move at a predetermined speed or less, the display position of the selected image moves following the touch position, and finally moves to the touch-up position. This is an operation similar to dragging and dropping with a mouse (hereinafter referred to as dragging and dropping with a touch panel).

  Next, in S410, it is determined whether or not the operation for moving the selected image in the selected state is completed. In the case of drag and drop with the mouse, this determination is a determination as to whether or not the drop operation has been performed, that is, whether or not the mouse click that has been continued has ended. In the case of drag and drop using the touch panel, it is a determination as to whether or not a touch-up has been detected. In the case of a flick by the touch panel, it is a determination as to whether or not the movement of the selected image has ended, or whether or not the selected image has moved to a specific position. In the period during which this determination is made, the display of the instruction items 311 to 314 is continued in the vicinity displayed in S408. If it is determined that the operation for moving the selected image in the selected state has been completed, the process proceeds to S411. If it is determined that the operation for moving the selected image in the selected state has not been completed, the process waits for the end of the operation in S410.

  In S411, it is determined whether or not the position where the selected image has moved is within any one of the designated items 311 to 314. In other words, this determination is a determination as to whether or not the mouse has been dropped into any instruction item if dragging and dropping with a mouse, or whether or not the instruction item has been touched up if dragging and dropping using a touch panel. . If it is a flick by a touch panel, it is judgment whether the selection image moved to any area | region of the instruction | indication items 311-314. If it is determined that the position to which the selected image has moved is within any area of the designated items 311 to 314, the process proceeds to S412 and the position to which the selected image has moved is not within any area of the designated items 311 to 314. If it judges, it will progress to S413, without processing a selection image.

  In step S412, the process indicated by the instruction item at the moved position is executed on the image. In the example of FIG. 3B, the selected image as the display item is displayed on the USB interface 112 by moving the position to the area 304 of the instruction item 314 indicating printing while holding the selected image and releasing the hand from the image. Image printing is started for the connected printer 113.

When the movement process is completed in S412, the instruction items 311 to 314 are hidden in S413.
Next, in S414, it is determined whether the Multi Play Flag is TRUE or FALSE. If the result of this determination is TRUE, the process proceeds to S415, returns to the multi-playback display as shown in FIG. 2B, returns to FALSE if it is FALSE, and returns to the single playback display as shown in FIG.

  As described above, in this embodiment, when an image is selected in the single image playback mode, a large image is resized to a smaller size. As a result, it is possible to solve the problem that the display item being dragged is too large and the moving operation cannot be accurately performed. In addition, when an image is selected in the multi-image playback mode, other images are not displayed, so that selection errors caused by being displayed in a small size can be reliably prevented, and operability is greatly improved. Can be made.

(Second Embodiment)
FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating a specific example of a screen according to the second embodiment.
The single playback mode (FIG. 5 (a)) for displaying a single image on the entire display 104 as the state relating to the image playback display in the first embodiment, and the multi playback mode (FIG. 5) for displaying a list of a plurality of images. In addition to (b)), other playback modes are shown.

  FIG. 5C is a diagram showing an example of a multi-playback mode that is finer than that in FIG. In the fine multi-reproduction mode shown in FIG. 5C, there is an advantage that many images can be displayed, but there is an inconvenience that the selected images cannot be sufficiently identified. In the present embodiment, when image selection is performed, resizing is performed to enlarge a small image. As a result, as shown in FIG. 5D, the resized size of the selected image is a size that allows the content of the image to be recognized, and a certain size that can secure the size to be moved to the designated item arranged around. Try to be size. Further, as shown in FIG. 5E, when an image is selected during multi-playback, the multi-playback mode before image selection may be displayed in a semi-transparent manner.

Next, an example of the processing procedure of this embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. In the following processing, the operation method of image selection and movement based on user operation is the same as that in the first embodiment.
When the process starts,
First, in S601, it is determined whether or not an image has been selected. If an image is selected, the process advances to step S602 to perform processing for storing the display size and position. Thereafter, in S603, a size determination process is performed to determine whether or not the size of the selected image is a predetermined image size, in this example “240 × 180”.

  If the result of determination in S603 is “240 × 180”, the process proceeds to S605; otherwise, the process proceeds to S604. In S604, a process of resizing the selected image to “240 × 180” is performed. By performing this processing, when the selected image is smaller than “240 × 180”, it is resized greatly. Conversely, if the selected image is larger than “240 × 180”, it is resized smaller. Note that the determination in S603 is divided into a determination as to whether or not the size is larger than a predetermined size and a determination as to whether or not the size is smaller than the predetermined size. It may be enlarged.

  Next, in S605, the display position of the selected image is moved to the center of the screen of the display 104. Thereafter, the instruction item is displayed in S606. This state is shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 5 (d), the resized size of the selected image is a size that allows the content of the image to be recognized, and is resized to a certain size that can secure a size to be moved to the designated item arranged around. can do. Note that the process of S605 may not be performed. Further, the processing of S605 is performed only when the position where the selected image is displayed before selection overlaps or is close to the position where the instruction item is displayed (less than a predetermined distance). You may do it. Subsequently, the CPU 101 moves the display position while the selected image remains selected based on the user operation.

Next, in S607, it is determined whether or not the operation for moving the selected image while it is selected is completed. If it is determined that the process has been completed, the process advances to step S608. If it is determined that the process has not been completed, the process waits for completion in step S607.
In S608, it is determined whether or not the position to which the selected image has moved is within the area of any of the displayed instruction items. If it is within the area of any instruction item, the process proceeds to S609, and the process indicated by the instruction item is executed on the selected image. If it is not within the area of any instruction item, the selected image is displayed. The process proceeds to S610 without performing any processing. In S610, the size of the selected image is returned to the display size before resizing, for example, the display size before reduction when the size is reduced, and the display position is returned to the previous display position.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to obtain the merit of displaying many images by operating in the fine multi-playback mode, and it is necessary to sufficiently identify the selected images. The space can be resized to a size that can be secured.
In the processing of S605 and S606, as shown in FIG. 5E, when selecting an image during multi-playback, the multi-playback mode before image selection may be displayed semi-transparently.

(Third embodiment)
FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating a specific example of a screen according to the third embodiment.
The first embodiment and the second embodiment described above are embodiments when one image is selected. In the third embodiment, a case where a plurality of images are selected will be described.
If a control button (first operation instruction member not shown) of the input unit 105 is pressed before selecting an image, a display item selection mode in which a plurality of images can be selected is set. This mode in which a plurality of images can be selected is valid as long as the control button is continuously pressed, and the mode ends when the press is released. In this state, any image is sequentially selected from the displayed images by, for example, pressing a second operation instruction member (not shown) by the method described in the above embodiments. You can select multiple images. At this time, the selected image is displayed (frame display or the like) indicating that it has been selected. Further, the display of images other than the selected image is continued. FIG. 7A shows a display example during selection of a plurality of images by this method. FIG. 7A shows a display example when three images are selected.

  When a plurality of images are selected in this way and then the control button is released, as shown in FIG. 7B, the plurality of selected images are moved together with respect to the operation item for processing. Is possible. At this time, as shown in FIG. 7C, the display size of one display item is resized according to the number of selected display items and displayed in parallel (displayed so as not to overlap). Also good. In this way, when the processing to be performed on the selected plurality of images is individually different, the operation is facilitated when the image is moved with respect to the operation item.

(Fourth embodiment)
Next, a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. This embodiment is an example of another process instead of the process of S605 in FIG.
In this embodiment, when a user selects an arbitrary image 80 from a plurality of images displayed during multi-playback as shown in FIG. 8A, as shown in FIG. The instruction item 81 is displayed in an arc shape according to the touch position. When the instruction item 81 is displayed in this arc shape, the user can easily confirm whether the selected image is acceptable by resizing the image.

By performing such display, even when the touched image is displayed at the end of the multi-playback screen, the instruction item 81 can be displayed side by side at a position that is substantially equidistant from the touch position. . As a result, the moving distance for moving the image by drag and drop or the like can be made the same. In addition, the angle of each instruction item viewed from the image selection start point can be made uniform, so that the drop operation can be performed in the same manner.
In each of the above-described embodiments, a thumbnail image representing an image file is taken as an example of a display item. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and any display item that can be moved based on a user instruction may be used.
