  EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION Below, the form for implementing this invention is demonstrated with reference to drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration of an information processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.

  1 includes a ROM (Read Only Memory) 110, a RAM (Random Access Memory) 120, a touch panel 130, a key input unit 140, an identification information acquisition unit 150, a CPU (Central Processing Unit). ) 160 and a bus 170.

  The RAM 120 is an example of a storage unit, and the CPU 160 is an example of a control unit. The RAM 120, the identification information acquisition unit 150, and the CPU 160 constitute an input detection device.

  The ROM 110 stores fixed data necessary for the CPU 160 to execute various programs.

  The RAM 120 stores data temporarily necessary for the CPU 160 to execute various programs.

  The touch panel 130 is disposed on the front surface of the information processing apparatus 100, displays various operation screens on the display surface, detects contact using an input means such as a finger or a touch pen, and sends a control signal corresponding to the detected content to the CPU 160. Output.

  As the display surface, a monochrome or color liquid crystal panel, an organic EL (electrofluorescence) panel, or the like is used. The number of touch panels 130 is not limited to one and may be two or more.

  The key input unit 140 receives an operation input based on a key press or the like, and outputs a control signal corresponding to the input operation content to the CPU 160.

  The identification information acquisition unit 150 stores the detection state detected by the touch panel 130 at the time of input using the input unit in association with the input unit, and when the input to the touch panel 130 is performed, the input detection state is set. In response, the input means used for the input is specified, and identification information of the input means used for the input is acquired according to the specified input means, and output to the CPU 160.

  In general, since the contact area between the touch panel 130 and the input means differs depending on the input means, the identification information acquisition unit 150 uses, for example, the contact area between the input means and the touch panel 130 as the input means. The detected state detected by the touch panel 130 at the time of input is stored.

  The CPU 160 is connected to each unit described above via the bus 170 and controls the entire information processing apparatus 100.

  In addition, CPU 160 is any one of a plurality of input means that enables input corresponding to each of a plurality of areas of touch panel 130 divided according to an operation screen displayed on touch panel 130. The identification information of the input means is stored in the RAM 120.

  Furthermore, CPU 160 identifies an area on touch panel 130 where an input using the input means indicated by the identification information output from identification information acquisition unit 150 is detected, and is stored in RAM 120 corresponding to the identified area. It is determined whether or not the identified identification information matches the identification information output from the identification information acquisition unit 150. If the determination result indicates a match, the input is validated.

  Next, the operation of the information processing apparatus 100 of this embodiment will be described.

  First, for each of a plurality of regions on the touch panel 130, a setting processing operation for setting an input unit that validates input is performed according to the flowchart shown in FIG.

  In the following, it is assumed that the input means is a finger.

  First, CPU 160 causes touch panel 130 to display an input screen requesting input to touch panel 130 using an input unit that validates input to each of a plurality of areas on touch panel 130 (step S101).

  When the information processing apparatus 100 has only one touch panel 130, the touch panel 130 is logically divided into a plurality of areas. When the information processing apparatus 100 includes a plurality of touch panels 130 that are physically separated, one area may be divided so as to correspond to each touch panel 130, and two or more touch panels 130 may be included. It may be divided so as to straddle. Further, the plurality of areas do not need to be in contact with each other, and may overlap each other or a certain area may include another area.

  Next, CPU 160 determines whether or not an input to touch panel 130 has been performed (step S102), and repeats the process of step S102 until an input is performed.

  When input to the touch panel 130 is performed (step S102: Yes), the identification information acquisition unit 150 detects the fingerprint of the finger used for the input, and outputs fingerprint information indicating the detected fingerprint as identification information. Note that the identification information acquisition unit 150 is, for example, a CCD (Charge Coupled Device) that is arranged on the back side of the touch panel 130 and that can capture an image of a finger that performs input to the touch panel 130. Get fingerprint information.

  When the fingerprint information is output from the identification information acquisition unit 150, the CPU 160 stores the fingerprint information in the RAM 120 in association with the area where the finger indicated by the fingerprint information is set as an input unit (step S103).

  Note that the number of fingers set as the input means is not limited to one, and a plurality of fingers may be set or may be different for each region. Further, instead of setting an input unit that validates an input to an area on the touch panel 130, an input unit that invalidates an input to the area may be set.

  Next, when the setting process of the input unit is completed, the CPU 160 displays an operation screen on the touch panel 130.

  When the input to the touch panel 130 is performed according to the operation screen, the identification information acquisition unit 150 periodically acquires the fingerprint information of the finger used for the input while the input to the touch panel 130 is performed. And output to the CPU 160.

  CPU 160 identifies an area on touch panel 130 in which an input corresponding to fingerprint information output from identification information acquisition unit 150 is detected, and fingerprint information and identification information stored in RAM 120 corresponding to the identified area. It is determined whether or not the fingerprint information output from the acquisition unit 150 matches.

  If the determination result indicates coincidence, the CPU 160 validates the input to the touch panel 130 and controls each unit according to the operation content displayed in the area on the touch panel 130 where the input is detected. On the other hand, when the determination result indicates a mismatch, the CPU 160 invalidates the input to the touch panel 130.

  Here, for example, after the user tries to input by sliding his / her finger in the area A on the touch panel 130 and starts to input to the area A by using the finger set for the area A, an error occurs. And the finger is slid to the area B. In this case, while the finger is slid in the area A, the fingerprint information stored in the RAM 120 corresponding to the area A matches the fingerprint information output from the identification information acquisition unit 150. , Treat the input as valid. When the finger is slid to the area B, the fingerprint information stored in the RAM 120 corresponding to the area B and the fingerprint information output from the identification information acquisition unit 150 do not match, so the CPU 160 invalidates the input. Treat as a thing. Therefore, it is possible to prevent an operation input different from the user's intention from being performed.

  Note that various operations can be considered as the operation of the CPU 160 when the determination result changes from coincidence to disagreement.

  For example, an operation that determines that the operation input has been completed when the determination result indicates inconsistency can be considered. In this case, CPU 160 operates in the same manner as when the finger is released from touch panel 130 at the boundary between region A and region B. In addition, after the determination result becomes inconsistent, when the determination result shows coincidence within a predetermined time, it is determined that the slide has gone too far, and the operation input is determined to be continued. Can be considered.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the information processing apparatus 100 can input any one of the plurality of input units in correspondence with each of the plurality of regions of the touch panel 130 divided according to the operation screen. When an input to the touch panel 130 is made, the identification information of the input means used for the input is acquired, and the area on the touch panel 130 where the input is detected is stored. If the identification information of the input means matches the acquired identification information, the input is processed as valid.

  Therefore, even if an input is performed using an input means other than the set input means, the input is processed as invalid, so that the possibility of an operation input different from the user's intention can be reduced. .

  In the present embodiment, the area on the touch panel 130 has been described using an example in which an input unit is set in advance. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, for each of a plurality of areas, the input means used for the first input to each area may be set as the input means for that area. Thus, by setting the input means used for input to a certain area as the input means for that area, the input means for each area can be set dynamically.

  In the present embodiment, the CPU 160 may determine whether or not to make a determination according to the input content to the area on the touch panel 130. For example, in an area where the input unit is slid in a certain direction, the CPU 160 may make a determination when the input unit is slid in the certain direction. Thus, when an input different from the operation content for the area of the touch panel 130 is performed, the processing load can be reduced by preventing the CPU 160 from performing the determination.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the example in which the fingerprint is used as the identification information of the input unit has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the identification information acquisition unit 150 performs input to the touch panel 130. The shape of the hand or finger at the time or the touch pen may be used as the identification information. In this case, the identification information acquisition unit 150 includes a camera that captures the shape of a hand or a finger when an input to the touch panel 130 is performed, and acquires identification information from a captured image captured by the camera.

  In the present embodiment, the example in which the input unit is a finger has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, information using a short-distance wireless method such as Bluetooth (registered trademark) is used. A plurality of touch pens that can communicate with the processing apparatus 100 and transmit identification information can also be used as input means. In this case, the identification information acquisition unit 150 receives the identification information transmitted from the touch pen and acquires the identification information of the input means.

  In the present embodiment, the example in which the input unit is set for the area on the touch panel 130 has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and input using the input unit is not limited thereto. An area in which is effective may be set.

  In the present embodiment, the CPU 160 may cause the touch panel 130 to display input means stored in association with the area on the touch panel 130. In this way, by displaying the input means for each area on the touch panel 130, it is possible to reduce the possibility of mistaken input means for inputting when the user performs input.

  The method performed by the input detection apparatus of the present invention may be applied to a program for causing a computer to execute. In addition, the program can be stored in a storage medium and can be provided to the outside via a network.
