Description

  The present invention relates to an important information confirmation method, apparatus, program, and recording medium thereof, and more particularly, to an important information confirmation method, apparatus, program, and recording medium suitable for a touch screen that performs an input instruction or the like by a touch operation.

  As an input operation unit of an information terminal, when a character, figure, symbol, or the like displayed on a display panel is touched and operated, a touch screen type input system that can electrically detect and input instructions is used for smartphones and tablet terminals. It is spread mainly around.

  In the conventional mechanical switch, an input instruction cannot be received unless the user performs a pressing operation or the like with a certain amount of force at his / her will. On the other hand, in the input instruction method using the touch operation, when a finger touches the surface of the screen, it is immediately determined as an input instruction regardless of whether or not it is based on the will, and an input error occurs. It has a structural problem that it is easy to do.

  In response to such a technical problem, Patent Document 1 discloses a technique for preventing an erroneous touch operation by displaying a graphic display screen on a touch area only when necessary. Patent Document 2 discloses a technique for preventing an erroneous input again by presenting an input effective area when an incorrect position is pressed.

JP-A-6-342278 JP 2000-172427 A

  Each of the above conventional techniques is a technique aimed at preventing erroneous input, but even with these erroneous input prevention techniques, erroneous input of text or the like cannot be completely prevented. Therefore, in order to further reduce erroneous input, it is desirable to have the user reconfirm the input information.

  However, although all of the above prior arts can reduce the frequency of erroneous input to some extent, but cannot completely prevent it, once an erroneous input occurs, this can be detected effectively. could not.

  In addition to confirming the purchase product, price, quantity, payment method, etc., when shopping online, etc., it is provided by the seller via applications such as Web browsers such as cancellation conditions and product exchange conditions. If important items are not read carefully, unforeseen disadvantages may arise. Therefore, in the prior art, these important matters cannot be surely confirmed by the user.

  The object of the present invention is to solve the problems of the prior art and to allow the user to confirm text information input by the user or text information provided by the application, thereby reading erroneously input text information or important matters. It is an object of the present invention to provide an important information confirmation method, apparatus and program that can be prevented, and a recording medium thereof.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides an important information confirmation apparatus for detecting a touch operation on a touch screen that displays text information and confirming the validity of the text information. There is a feature in the point.

  (1) Approval pattern registration in which means for extracting important text from text information presented to the user, layout means for laying out the extracted important text on the touch screen, and a contact pattern for approving the important text are registered Means for determining whether or not the touch operation detected by the touch screen on which the important text is laid out is an approval pattern, and the text touched by the approval pattern is processed as being approved. I made it.

  (2) The determination means detects the speed and acceleration of the contact operation, and the approval condition is that the speed and acceleration of the contact operation are within a predetermined range.

  (3) The layout means randomly laid out multiple important texts on the touch screen.

  (4) An order setting means for setting confirmation order for a plurality of important texts is provided, and the determination means sequentially determines whether or not the touch operation on each text is an approval pattern according to the confirmation order. I made it.

  (5) The order setting means lays out the ordinal number display of the confirmation order set for each important text in the vicinity of the layout position of each of the important texts.

  (6) A database for managing the history of contact operations is further provided.

  According to the present invention, the following effects are achieved.

  (1) Since the user requests a pattern touch operation that requires confirmation of the important text, and the text is approved on the condition that the touch operation of the pattern is detected, erroneous input or reading over It can be effectively prevented.

  (2) The speed and acceleration of the touch operation are limited so that operations that do not allow the user to perform touch operations while checking important text one by one, exceeding the reference speed or reference acceleration, are not allowed. As a result, the user can be surely confirmed.

  (3) When listing multiple important texts and requesting their confirmation, the layout of each important text is changed randomly, and the confirmation order is set randomly. It is possible to prevent a reduction in attention due to habituation and to expect a more reliable confirmation from the user.

  (4) Since the contact operation for each important text is saved in the database as a history, it is possible to verify if an erroneous input or a reading error is discovered later.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIGS. 1 to 3 are diagrams schematically showing an outline of the important information confirmation method according to the present invention. First, an e-mail transmission operation will be described as an example.

  When the e-mail application is started and input of “To”, “CC (BCC)”, “Subject”, “Attachment”, and “Message” is completed on the mail creation screen, as shown in FIG. From the items, important texts of “Destination”, “CC (BCC)”, “Subject”, and “Attachment” are extracted and displayed as a list. The items extracted as important information are merely examples, and can be arbitrarily set for each application by a user or an administrator.

  In this list display screen, an ordinal number (1) to (5) indicating the order in which each important text is traced together with a message M1 requesting that each important text written in red (highlighted in the figure) is traced in order. Is superimposed. The tracing range can be arbitrarily set by the user or the administrator. For example, in the case of address information, settings such as “all address information” and “other than the domain name of the address” can be set.

  The user sequentially touches each important text in the order indicated by the ordinal number so that the user traces with one finger from the other end to the other end. In the example shown in the figure, first, the important text [aaaa@kddi.com] regarding the “destination” of the ordinal number (1) is traced from the start character [a] at one end to the end character [m] at the other end. Touch operation.

  In this embodiment, in order to ensure that the user touches each important text while checking the contents, conditions are set for the speed and acceleration when tracing each important text with a finger. If it is traced at a speed or acceleration smaller than the reference speed or reference acceleration, it is determined that the user is touching while checking the content of the text, and as shown in FIG. The line L1 is superimposed and displayed in a predetermined color and pattern on the locus of the contact operation. Thereby, the user can visually confirm that the important text has been confirmed. The reference speed and the reference acceleration can be arbitrarily set in advance by a user or an administrator.

  On the other hand, if each text is traced at a speed or acceleration greater than a predetermined reference speed or reference acceleration, it is assumed that the user is performing a mechanical contact operation without checking the text content. As a result, the locus line of the contact operation is not superimposed and displayed. In this case, the user must repeat the touch operation from the start point of each important text.

  When the confirmation of the “destination” in the ordinal number (1) is completed as described above, the text [bbb@kddi.com] related to the “cc” in the ordinal number (2) then ends from the start character [b]. Trace up to the letter [m], and so on, ordinal (3) text about "cc" [cccc@kddi.com], ordinal (4) text about "subject" [hello], and finally the ordinal number (5 ) The text [Attachment] related to “Attachment” is touched so that the finger is traced sequentially from the start point to the end point. When the confirmed line L1 is superimposed on all the important texts displayed in a list, the mail is transmitted to the destination.

  It should be noted that the assignment of each ordinal number when the important texts to be confirmed are displayed in a list on the touch screen is not fixed, and it is desirable to change them randomly as shown in FIG. This prevents a decrease in attention and concentration due to the user's “familiarity”, and a reliable confirmation operation can be performed every time.

  In addition, when the user confirms that there is an error in the input contents in the process of the confirmation touch operation, as shown in FIG. You can go back to the mail composition screen and edit the text.

  Next, the operation outline of the present invention will be further described with reference to FIGS.

  In online purchase, generally, an input operation for personal information is performed on a personal information setting screen after an input operation on a purchase screen. As shown in FIG. 5, when the input operation is completed on each screen, an order confirmation screen is displayed. On this order confirmation screen, ordinal numbers (1) to (7) for tracing each important text are displayed together with a message M2 for requesting each important text to be traced in a specified order. Note that the important text extracted here is not limited to the text entered by the user. For example, the terms of use included in the terms of service, etc., including conditions that are particularly relevant to the user, such as cancellation fee generation conditions and product replacement periods, are also included. Have been extracted.

  In the present embodiment, two purchased products [skirt], [shoes] and their total amount [\ 12000] are extracted as important texts, and ordinal numbers (1) and (2) are located near each important text. (3) is attached. In addition, the ordinal number (4) is added to the text “Destination” [XX District…], and the ordinal number (5) is added to the text “Credit” of “Payment Method”. Furthermore, in the present embodiment, “cancellation fee generated 3 days ago” and “customer burden” are extracted as important texts from the text information of “Terms of Use” provided by the application, and the ordinal numbers (6) and (7) are respectively It is attached. Note that which information is extracted as the important text can be arbitrarily set by the user or the administrator.

  Also in this case, when each important text is touched in a sequence corresponding to the ordinal number from the start point to the end point of the text so as to trace below the reference speed or reference acceleration, the user confirms the contents of each text. As shown in FIG. 6, the confirmed line L2 is superimposed and displayed in a predetermined color and pattern on the locus of the contact operation as shown in FIG. Thereby, the user can visually confirm that the important text has been confirmed.

  Note that the order in which the important texts to be confirmed are displayed in a list on the touch screen does not have to be fixed, and is desirably changed randomly as shown in FIG. Also, if you notice that there is an error in the input text during the confirmation touch operation, you can return to the purchase screen and enter the text as shown in Figure 8. Can be corrected and re-entered.

  Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail. FIG. 9 is a functional block diagram showing the configuration of the important information confirmation apparatus 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention that realizes the above function, and is applied to, for example, a smartphone or a tablet terminal.

  The touch screen 100 is configured by laminating a transparent touch sensor 100a on the surface of a display panel 100b such as liquid crystal or organic EL, and displays an input screen required by an application such as an e-mail 101a or a browser 101b. And the input information recognized by the user's touch operation on the touch sensor 100a is returned to the application.

  In the important information extraction unit 103, the important information determination value registration unit 103b registers a determination value for identifying important information from text information input by the user and text information provided by the application. Such important information determination values are registered in advance by a user or an administrator.

  The important information determination unit 103a determines whether the information is important information based on the important information determination value for text information input by a user or text information provided by an application. The important information extraction unit 103 extracts text determined as important information as important text.

  The layout unit 105 determines a layout for displaying the extracted important text as a list on the display panel 100b as illustrated in FIGS. The order setting unit 105a sets the order of confirmation for each important text, and lays out the ordinal number in the vicinity of the layout position of each important text.

  In the approval pattern registration unit 106, a contact operation pattern (approval pattern) detected when the user confirms and approves the validity of the important text displayed on the display panel 100b is registered in advance. Has been.

  In the rejection pattern registration unit 107, a contact operation pattern (rejection pattern) that is detected when the user notices an error in the important text displayed on the display panel 100b is registered in advance.

  In the operation determination unit 108, the contact operation evaluation unit 108a evaluates the validity of the contact operation based on whether or not the contact operation is performed at a predetermined reference speed or less and / or a reference acceleration or less. The confirmed line superimposing unit 108b superimposes and displays the confirmed lines L1 and L2 on the important text related to the legally evaluated contact operation.

  The operation determination unit 108 determines whether the touch operation pattern detected on the touch screen 100 in a state where the important text and its ordinal number are laid out on the touch screen 100 by the layout unit 105 is the approval pattern or the rejection pattern. The validity of the important text is determined based on whether it is. If the contact operation is the approval pattern, the text information including the important text is approved and returned to the application. On the other hand, if the contact operation is the rejection pattern, the application is requested to input the text information again. To do.

  As shown in FIG. 10, the history database 109 stores the history of contact operations exemplified in FIGS. 2, 4, 6, and 8, and when a trouble that may be caused by an input error occurs, It is used for verification.

  11 and 12 are flowcharts showing the operation of the embodiment of the present invention. Here, a predetermined application has already been started, and a text input screen in the application is displayed on the touch screen 100. The explanation starts from.

  In step S1, when text input to the touch screen 100 is detected, in step S2, the sequentially input text is temporarily stored. In step S3, it is determined whether text input is completed.

  Here, if the text input this time is a message creation of the mail application, for example, it is determined that the text input is completed when the “send button” is clicked. In step S4, important text is determined based on the important information determination value by the important information determination unit 103a from the input text and / or text information provided by the application. In step S5, the character string determined to be important text is extracted. Here, the description is continued on the assumption that the texts “destination”, “CC (BCC)”, “subject”, and “attachment” have been extracted.

  In step S6, the layout unit 105 randomly determines the layout of the extracted important texts on the touch screen 100. In step S7, the confirmation order of each important text is determined at random. In step S8, each important text is displayed in a list at a predetermined position on the touch screen 100 in accordance with the layout determination result. At this time, the ordinal number indicating the confirmation order is also superimposed and displayed near the start point of each important text, as shown in FIG. In step S9, an important information confirmation process for causing the user to confirm the contents of each important text is executed.

  FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing the procedure of important information confirmation processing executed in step S9. In step S31, an initial value “1” is set in a variable n indicating the confirmation order of important text. In step S32, it is determined whether or not contact with the starting point position of the nth important text has been detected. If contact with the start point position is detected, the process proceeds to step S33, and whether or not the contact position is moving at a speed lower than the reference speed (or reference acceleration) along the character string of the nth important information. Evaluation is performed by the contact operation evaluation unit 108a. That is, it is evaluated whether or not the user is checking the correctness of the character string while tracing the important text with a finger.

  If it is determined that confirmation is in progress, the process proceeds to step S34, and the confirmed line is superimposed and displayed on the locus of the contact operation, that is, from the start point to the current contact position by the confirmed line superimposing unit 108b. In step S35, it is determined whether or not contact with the end position of the nth important text has been detected. When contact with the end point position is detected, the confirmation of the current nth important text is terminated, and the process proceeds to step S36.

  In step S36, it is determined whether or not the confirmation has been completed for all important texts. If not completed, the process proceeds to step S37, the variable n is incremented, the process returns to step S32, and the above confirmation processing is sequentially performed on all remaining important texts.

  It should be noted that at any timing of each of the above procedures, the user notices an error in the input text, and inputs the “x” mark by the touch operation as shown in FIGS. 4 and 8, which is detected in step S38. Then, the application is requested to redo text input.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S36 that all important texts have been confirmed, as illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 6, all the texts including the important text are passed to the application and the processing is performed. Exit.

  According to this embodiment, the user requests an approval pattern contact operation that requires confirmation of the input text, and the input of the text is approved on condition that the contact operation of the approval pattern is detected. As a result, erroneous input can be effectively prevented.

  In the present embodiment, the speed and acceleration of the touch operation are limited, and operations that do not allow the user to perform the touch operation while checking the input text one by one, exceeding the reference speed or the reference acceleration, are not permitted. As a result, a reliable confirmation operation can be expected from the user.

  Furthermore, when listing multiple texts and requesting confirmation of them, the layout of each text is changed at random, and the confirmation order is set at random. The drop in force can be prevented, and a more reliable confirmation operation can be expected for the user.

  Furthermore, since the contact operation for each text is stored in the history DB 109, it is possible to verify when an erroneous input or the like is discovered later.

  In the above embodiment, the layout variation of each important text by the layout unit 105 has been described so as to change the display position. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and FIG. As shown in the above, the position and orientation of each important text may be set at random.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, it has been described that all important texts are displayed as a list on the touch screen 100 by the layout unit 105. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and an example is illustrated in FIG. As shown in Fig. 1, only one important text is displayed at the beginning [Fig. (A)], and after approval is completed, it is displayed one by one [Fig. (B), (c)] You may do it.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the approval pattern when the input of the important text is correct is described as tracing each important text from the start point to the end point at a predetermined speed / acceleration or less, but the present invention is only this. 15, as shown in an example in FIG. 15, each important text is traced in a different direction for each line, that is, a contact operation from one end to the other end of the text display position on the n-th line and ( n + 1) Repeating the contact operation from the other end to the other end of the text display position on the line [FIG. (a)], tracing each important text twice [FIG. (b)], touch screen 100 Is traced so that the trajectory is a rectangular spiral [Fig. (C)], or the trajectory is a predetermined figure such as “○”, “◎”, “△”, or a character shape (here, OK)) [Diagram (d)] It's okay.

  Furthermore, in the above embodiment, it has been described that all the extracted important texts are traced. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and if the input target is transmission mail information, the important text In particular, as text that is particularly important, only text information addressed outside the company may be traced, such as a destination whose domain is outside, subject, or attachment.
