  The touch detection unit 14 includes the touch panel 4 illustrated in FIG. 1A, and detects a touch operation on the touch panel 4. More specifically, the touch detection unit 14 detects a position (hereinafter, referred to as a “touch position”) with which the touch object such as the finger of the user contacts the touch panel 4. The touch detection unit 14 outputs a position signal generated based on the detected touch position to the control unit 11. The touch operation on the touch panel 4 is performed on a screen or an object displayed on the display 3, and can be rephrased as a touch operation on the display 3.

  The touch detection unit 14 may be configured to detect, as the touch position, a position where the finger approaches when the finger of the user approaches the display 3, that is, the touch panel 4. For example, when the touch panel 4 of the touch detection unit 14 is of the capacitance type, its sensitivity is adjusted so that the change in capacitance exceeds the detection threshold when the finger approaches the touch panel 4. When the front of the cabinet 2 including the touch panel 4 is covered with a transparent cover made of glass or the like, a finger touching the touch panel 4 contacts not the touch panel 4 but the cover. In this case, the touch panel 4 detects a touch position when a finger touches the cover or approaches the cover.

  By providing the touch panel 4, the user can perform various touch operations on the display 3 by touching or touching a finger on the touch panel 4. The touch operation includes, for example, a tap operation, a flick operation, a slide operation, and the like. The tap operation is an operation of releasing the finger from the touch panel 4 in a short time after the user brings the finger into contact with or close to the touch panel 4. The flick operation is an operation in which the user brings the touch panel 4 into contact with or approaches the touch panel 4 and then flips or sweeps the touch panel 4 with the finger in any direction. The slide operation is an operation in which the user moves the finger in an arbitrary direction while keeping the finger in contact with or close to the touch panel 4.

  For example, when the touch detection unit 14 detects a touch position, when the touch position is not detected within a predetermined first time after the touch position is detected, the control unit 11 determines that the touch operation is a tap operation. judge. After the touch position is detected and the touch position is not detected after the touch position is moved within the predetermined second time within the predetermined second time after the touch position is detected, the control unit 11 flicks the touch operation. It is determined that After the touch position is detected, when the touch position moves by a predetermined second distance or more, the control unit 11 determines that the touch operation is a slide operation.

  The voice input unit 15 includes a microphone 5. The voice input unit 15 outputs the electrical signal from the microphone 5 to the voice processing unit 17.

  The audio output unit 16 includes a call speaker 6 and an external speaker 7. The electrical signal from the audio processing unit 17 is input to the audio output unit 16. The audio output unit 16 outputs a sound from the call speaker 6 or the external speaker 7.

  The audio processing unit 17 performs A / D conversion or the like on the electric signal from the audio input unit 15, and outputs the converted digital audio signal to the control unit 11. The audio processing unit 17 subjects the digital audio signal from the control unit 11 to decoding processing, D / A conversion and the like, and outputs the converted electrical signal to the audio output unit 16.

  The key input unit 18 includes at least one hard key. For example, the key input unit 18 includes a power key or the like for turning on the mobile phone 1. The key input unit 18 outputs a signal corresponding to the pressed hard key to the control unit 11.

  The communication unit 19 includes a circuit for converting a signal, an antenna for transmitting and receiving radio waves, and the like in order to make a call or communication. The communication unit 19 converts a signal for speech or communication input from the control unit 11 into a wireless signal, and transmits the converted wireless signal to a communication destination such as a base station or another communication apparatus via an antenna. Do. Furthermore, the communication unit 19 converts a radio signal received via an antenna into a signal of a format that can be used by the control unit 11, and outputs the converted signal to the control unit 11.

  The imaging unit 20 includes the camera 8 shown in FIG. 1B, an imaging control circuit, and the like. The imaging unit 20 captures a moving image or a still image in accordance with a control signal from the control unit 11, performs various image processing and encoding processing on the moving image data of the captured moving image or the still image data of the still image, Data or still image data is output to the control unit 11.

  The acceleration detection unit 21 includes a three-axis acceleration sensor.

  FIG. 3 is a view showing the display 3 on which the home screen 101 is displayed.

  In the mobile phone 1, various screens are displayed on the display 3, and various touch operations are performed by the user on the screen. For example, the home screen 101 is displayed on the display 3 as an initial screen. As shown in FIG. 3, the home screen 101 includes an activation icon 101 a for activating various applications. The activation icon 101a includes, for example, a telephone icon 101b, a mail icon 101c, a telephone directory icon 101d, a browser icon 101e and the like.

  In addition to the home screen 101, a notification bar 102 and an operation key group 103 are displayed on the display 3. The notification bar 102 is displayed above the home screen 101 displayed on the display 3. The notification bar 102 includes the current time, a remaining amount meter indicating the battery remaining amount, an intensity meter indicating the intensity of the radio wave, and the like. The operation key group 103 is displayed below the home screen 101. The operation key group 103 includes a setting key 103a, a home key 103b, and a back key 103c. The setting key 103 a is a key mainly for causing the display 3 to display a setting screen for performing various settings. The home key 103 b is mainly a key for shifting the display of the display 3 from the other screen to the home screen 101. The back key 103c is a key mainly for returning the executed processing to the processing one step before.

  When using various applications, the user performs a tap operation on the activation icon 101a corresponding to the application to be used. The application is launched and an execution screen based on the application is displayed. Note that the notification bar 102 continues to be displayed on the display 3 even if the execution screen of the executed application is displayed or when the execution screen changes as the application progresses.

  By the way, although the operation on the display 3 by the user is usually performed with a finger in many cases, the operation may be performed with a finger wearing a glove in a cold season. However, in the case where selectable objects are concentrated on the screen displayed on the display 3 and a detailed operation is required to select an object, the user performs the selection operation as desired while wearing the glove. Is difficult.

  For example, when an application for the telephone directory is activated by a tap operation on the telephone directory icon 101d and, for example, an operation for registering contact information is performed on the initial screen of the application for the telephone directory, as shown in FIG. The information registration screen 104 is displayed on the display 3. The information registration screen 104 includes a cancel button 104b, a save button 104c, a keyboard 104d, and the like in addition to an edit box 104a for inputting contact information. Here, in the information registration screen 104, a plurality of editing boxes 104a are arranged in a relatively dense state. The selection of the edit box 104a to be input is performed by the touch operation on the edit box 104a, but as described above, when the touch operation is performed while wearing the glove, the desired edit box 104a can be touched well In addition, it is easy to touch the position outside the edit box 104a or the adjacent edit box 104a. After the touch operation is performed, in the selected edit box 104a, a display is made that can identify the selection, such as a cursor being displayed. When the user recognizes that the selection is unsuccessful by not identifying the desired edit box 104a, the user has to repeat the touch operation until the desired edit box 104a is correctly selected. The respective keys of the keyboard 104d are also arranged in a relatively dense state, and it is difficult to accurately touch a desired key while wearing the glove. However, in the touch operation on the keyboard 104d, as shown in FIG. 4 (b), when the key is touched during the touch operation, the touched key is enlarged due to the touched key being displayed. It is notified of which key it is. For this reason, since the user can touch a desired key by displacing the finger, unlike the editing box 104a, the touch operation is hardly repeated due to an erroneous touch operation.

  Also, for example, when the application of the web browser is activated by a tap operation on the browser icon 101e, a web screen 105 as shown in FIG. 4C is displayed on the display 3. On the web screen 105, a hyperlink may be set to a specific character string or a photo in the displayed document. Then, images 105a (hereinafter referred to as "link images 105a") such as character strings and photographs in which hyperlinks are set may be arranged in a relatively dense state in a document. In such a web screen 105, when a touch operation is performed while wearing a glove, it is likely that the desired link image 105a can not be touched well, as in the case of the editing box 104a described above. If a touch operation is performed on another link image 105a, the screen is shifted to the wrong link destination, so it is necessary to return the screen and perform the touch operation again, which is very important for the user. It will be a bothersome situation.

  Therefore, in the mobile phone 1 of the present embodiment, the display 3 includes screens (information registration screen 104, web screen 105) including objects to be selected, such as a plurality of editing boxes 104a and a plurality of link images 105a. When displayed, the control unit 11 executes a control process, that is, a glove correspondence control process, to enable selection of a desired object easily even while the glove is worn.

Example 1
In the present embodiment, glove compatible control processing is applied to the application of the telephone directory.

  5 and 6 are flowcharts showing contact information registration processing for registering contact information, which is included in the application of the telephone directory. FIGS. 7A and 7B are diagrams showing the information registration screen 104 in a state where the edit box 104a1 for input and the edit box 104a2 for selection are selected by the tap operation, respectively. 8A, 8B and 8C show the state where the top editing box 104a is selected by the slide operation in the selection area 106 and the information registration screen 104 in the state in which the selection area 106 is overlapped. FIG. 10 is a diagram showing the information registration screen 104 of FIG. 10 and the information registration screen 104 in a state in which the display content of the edit box 104a2 for selection is changed by a tap operation in the selection area 106. FIG. 9 is a diagram showing a state in which each editing box 104a is selected in order as the slide operation in the selection area 106 is repeated.

  After the application of the telephone directory is activated, when an operation for registering contact information is performed, the control unit 11 executes contact information registration processing. The processes of steps S110 to S112 and steps S115 to S122 of the contact information registration process shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 correspond to the glove correspondence control process described above.

  The control unit 11 displays the information registration screen 104 on the display 3 (S101). The information registration screen 104 is as described in FIG.

  The control unit 11 monitors whether a touch operation on the display 3 has been performed (S102). When the touch operation is performed (S102: YES), the control unit 11 determines whether the touch operation is a tap operation on the edit box 104a, a tap operation on the save button 104c, and a cancel button It is determined whether it is a tap operation on 104b (S103, S104, S105).

  The edit box 104a includes an edit box 104a1 for input in which information is input by typing characters and the like with the keyboard 104d, and an edit box 104a2 for selection in which information is input by selection from among a plurality of candidates prepared in advance. And.

  When the tap operation is performed on the edit box 104a (S103: YES), the control unit 11 determines which of the input edit box 104a1 and the selection edit box 104a2 is the target of the tap operation (S106). When the tap operation is performed on the input edit box 104a1 (S106: for input), the control unit 11 sets the input edit box 104a1 in the input target edit box 104a (S107). Then, as shown in FIG. 7A, the control unit 11 displays the cursor in the input edit box 104a1, and illuminates the inside of the box with a predetermined color, etc., in the input edit box 104a1. Highlight display is performed (S108). On the other hand, when the tap operation is performed on the selection edit box 104a2 (S106: selection), the control unit 11 switches the display content of the selection edit box 104a2 (S109). For example, as shown in FIG. 7B, when the selection edit box 104a2 is for inputting a type of telephone, each time a tap operation is performed on the selection edit box 104a2, Display contents are sequentially switched among "mobile", "home" and "company".

  As described above, when the tap operation to the editing box 104a is detected, the processing from step S106 to step S109 is performed, and the editing box 104a is processed based on the tap operation to the editing box 104a regardless of whether the glove is worn or not. Is selected.

  When the touch operation detected in step S102 is neither a tap operation on edit box 104a nor a tap operation on save button 104c or a tap operation on cancel button 104b (S103: NO → S104: NO → S105: NO), for example, In the case of a tap operation to a position other than the edit box 104a, the save button 104c and the cancel button 104b or a flick operation or a slide operation to an arbitrary position of the information registration screen 104, the control unit 11 selects the selection area 106 on the display 3. Is determined (S110).

  If the selection area 106 is not displayed (S110: NO), the control unit 11 determines whether the touch operation detected in step S102 is a touch operation with gloves on (S111).

  When the glove touches the touch panel 4, the amount of change in capacitance is smaller than when the finger directly touches the touch panel 4. When the finger or the glove touches the touch panel 4, the amount of change in capacitance is maximized. For example, the control unit 11 detects the maximum value of the amount of change in capacitance in the process of touch operation. When the value is smaller than a predetermined first threshold, it is a touch operation by the glove, and when the maximum value is equal to or more than the first threshold, it is determined that the touch operation is a finger. Moreover, in the case of the touch operation by a glove, the contact area with respect to the touch panel 4 becomes larger than the touch operation by a finger. Therefore, for example, the control unit 11 detects the maximum value of the contact area in the process of the touch operation, and when the maximum value is larger than the predetermined second threshold, the touch operation is performed by the glove, and the maximum value is the second threshold. In the case of the following, it may be determined that the touch operation is by a finger. Alternatively, when the maximum value of the change amount of the capacitance is smaller than the first threshold and the maximum value of the contact area is larger than the second threshold, the control unit 11 performs the touch operation by the glove, otherwise It may be determined that the touch operation is a finger touch operation.

  When the touch operation is performed while wearing the glove (S111: YES), the control unit 11 displays the selection area 106 on the display 3 so as to avoid the edit box 104a of the information registration screen 104 (S112).

  The selection area 106 is an image having a sufficiently larger area than the editing box 104 a so that the slide operation can be easily performed in the area while wearing the glove. The selection area 106 is, for example, an image having a vertically long rectangular shape as shown in FIG.

  If there is a process assigned to the touch operation detected in step S102 (S113: YES), the control unit 11 executes the assigned process (S114). Then, the control unit 11 returns the process to step S102 and monitors a new touch operation.

  After the selection area 106 is displayed, it is determined in step S110 that the selection area 106 is being displayed. When the selection area 106 is being displayed (S110: YES), the control unit 11 determines whether the touch operation detected in step S102 is a slide operation in the selection area 106 (S115).

  If the detected touch operation is a slide operation in the selection area 106 (S115: YES), the control unit 11 determines that the slide operation is the first slide operation in the selection area 106 (S116). (YES), the top edit box 104a located at the top of the information registration screen 104 is set in the edit box 104a to be input (S117). Then, as shown in FIG. 8B, the control unit 11 displays the cursor in the top editing box 104a and highlights the top editing box 104a (S118).

  On the other hand, if the slide operation is not the first slide operation in the selection area 106 (S116: NO), the control unit 11 sets the next edit box 104a to the input target edit box 104a (S119), While displaying the cursor in the edit box 104a, highlight display is performed in the edit box 104a (S118). When the edit box 104a set as the input target is the selection edit box 104a, highlight display is performed but cursor display is not performed.

  Thus, as shown in FIG. 9, each time a slide operation is performed in the selection area 106, the edit box 104a to be input is switched from the top to the bottom and from the left to the right. Here, when all the edit boxes 104a can not be arranged in the arrangement area of the edit box 104a, if the edit box 104a existing below the edit box 104a currently displayed on the display 3 is set as an input target, the information The portion of the placement area in the registration screen 104 scrolls, and an edit box 104a set as an input target appears. While the cursor is displayed in the appearing edit box 104a, highlight display is performed in the edit box 104a.

  When the last editing box 104a is set as an input target, if a slide operation is performed in the selection area 106, the first editing box 104a is set as an input target as the next editing box 104a. It may be configured as such. Further, the switching order is not limited to the order from top to bottom and from left to right, but may be another order. For example, ordering may be performed in which the order of the editing box 104a in which contact information with high input frequency is input is higher. Further, in the case where there is an edit box 104a that requires an input and an edit box 104a that does not require an input, the edit box 104a that requires an input may be ranked higher.

  If the touch operation detected in step S102 is not a slide operation in the selection area 106 (S115: NO), the control unit 11 determines whether the touch operation is a tap operation in the selection area 106 or not. It determines (S120). If the touch operation is a tap operation in the selection area 106 (S120: YES), the control unit 11 determines that the edit box 104a currently set as the input target is the selection edit box 104a2 ( S121: YES), as in step S109, the display content of the selection edit box 104a2 is switched (S122). As shown in FIG. 8C, when the edit box for selection 104a2 is for inputting the type of telephone, “portable”, “home” every time a tap operation is performed in the selection area 106. The display contents are sequentially switched between the "company" and the "company".

  If the touch operation detected in step S102 is neither a slide operation nor a tap operation in the selection area 106 (S115: NO → S120: NO), the control unit 11 determines that there is a process assigned to the touch operation. (S113: YES), the process is executed (S114). For example, when cursor display and highlight display are made in the edit box 104a1 for input and there is a state of waiting for an input to the edit box 104a1 for input, tap operation is performed on any character key of the keyboard 104d. Then, in step S114, the control unit 11 executes a process of inputting a character corresponding to the character key subjected to the tap operation, and the input character is displayed in the input edit box 104a1.

  When the input of the contact information into the edit box 104a to be input is completed and the save button 104c is tapped (S104: YES), the control unit 11 determines the input contact information as the contact information of the storage unit 12 It is stored in the database 12a (S123), and the information registration screen 104 is erased from the display 3 (S124). Further, when the tap operation is performed on the cancel button 104b to cancel the registration of the contact information (S105: YES), the control unit 11 erases the information registration screen 104 from the display 3 (S124). Thus, when the information registration screen 104 is erased from the display 3 (S124), the control unit 11 ends the contact information registration process.

Example 2
In the present embodiment, globe compatible control processing is applied to the application of the web browser.

  10 and 11 are flowcharts showing the browsing process for displaying the web screen 105, which is included in the application of the web browser. 12A, 12 B and 12 C respectively show the web screen 105 in the state where the tap operation is performed on the link image 105 a and the web screen 105 of the link destination displayed based on the tap operation on the link image 105 a. 5A and 5B are diagrams showing the web screen 105 in a state where the top link image 105a is selected by the slide operation in the selection area 106. FIG. 13 is a diagram showing a state in which each link image 105a is selected in order as the slide operation in the selection area 106 is repeated.

  When an application of the web browser is activated, the control unit 11 executes a browsing process. The processes of steps S206 to S208 and the steps S211 to S218 of the browsing process shown in FIGS. 10 and 11 correspond to the above-mentioned glove correspondence control process.

  The control unit 11 displays the web screen 105 on the display 3 (S201). The web screen 105 is as described in FIG.

  When the touch operation is performed on the display 3 (S202: YES), the control unit 11 determines whether the touch operation is a tap operation on the link image 105a and a tap operation on the close button 105b. Are determined (S203, S204).

  As shown in FIG. 12 (a), when the tap operation is performed on the link image 105a (S203: YES), as shown in FIG. 12 (b), the control unit 11 performs the link image on which the tap operation is performed. The web screen 105 of the link destination indicated by 105a is displayed on the display 3 (S205). Then, the control unit 11 returns the process to step S202, and monitors the tap operation on the display 3 on which the new web screen 105 is displayed.

  As described above, when the tap operation on the link image 105a is detected, the process of step S205 is performed, and the web screen 105 of the link destination is displayed based on the tap operation on the link image 105a regardless of the wearing of the glove. Displayed on 3.

  When the touch operation detected in step S202 is neither a tap operation on the link image 105a nor a tap operation on the close button 105b (S203: NO → S204: NO), the control unit 11 causes the display 3 to select the selected area 106. It is determined whether it is displayed (S206).

  If the selection area 106 is not displayed (S206: NO), the control unit 11 determines whether the touch operation detected in step S202 is a touch operation with gloves on (S207). When the touch operation is performed while wearing the glove (S207: YES), the control unit 11 causes the display 3 to display the selection area 106 so as to avoid the link image 105a of the web screen 105 (S208). The selection area 106 has a larger area than the link image 105 a.

  If there is a process assigned to the touch operation detected in step S202 (S209: YES), the control unit 11 executes the assigned process (S210). For example, when an upward or downward flick operation is performed on an arbitrary position of the web screen 105, the control unit 11 scrolls the web screen 105 upward or downward. Then, the control unit 11 returns the process to step S202 and monitors a new touch operation.

  After the selection area 106 is displayed, it is determined in step S206 that the selection area 106 is being displayed. When the selection area 106 is being displayed (S206: YES), the control unit 11 determines whether the touch operation detected in step S202 is a slide operation in the selection area 106 (S211).

  If the detected touch operation is a slide operation in the selection area 106 (S211: YES), the control unit 11 determines that the slide operation is the first slide operation in the selection area 106 (S212). (YES), the top link image 105a located at the top of the web screen 105 is set as the operation target link image 105a (S213). Then, as shown in FIG. 12C, the control unit 11 performs highlight display on the first link image 105a (S214).

  On the other hand, if the slide operation is not the first slide operation in the selection area 106 (S211: NO), the control unit 11 sets the next link image 105a as the operation target link image 105a (S215). Highlight display is performed on the link image 105a (S214).

  Thus, as shown in FIG. 13, each time the slide operation is performed in the selection area 106, the link image 105a to be operated is switched from the top to the bottom. Here, when the entire web screen 105 can not be displayed on the display 3 at one time, if the link image 105 a existing below the link image 105 a currently displayed on the display 3 is set as the operation target, the web screen 105 is displayed. It scrolls and the link image 105a set as operation object appears. Highlight display is performed on the link image 105 a that has appeared.

  When the last link image 105a is set as the operation target, when the slide operation is performed in the selection area 106, the first link image 105a is set as the next link image 105a as the operation target. It may be configured as such. Also, the switching order is not limited to the top to bottom order, but may be another order. For example, ordering may be performed such that the link image 105a to which the web screen 105 highly relevant to the currently displayed web screen 105 is linked is ranked higher.

  If the touch operation detected in step S202 is not a slide operation in the selection area 106 (S211: NO), the control unit 11 determines whether the touch operation is a tap operation in the selection area 106 or not. It judges (S216). When the touch operation is a tap operation in the selection area 106 (S216: YES), if any link image 105a is set as the operation target (S217: YES), the control unit 11 and the step S205. Similarly, the web screen 105 of the link destination indicated by the link image 105a is displayed on the display 3 (S218). Then, the control unit 11 returns the process to step S202, and monitors the tap operation on the display 3 on which the new web screen 105 is displayed.

  If the touch operation detected in step S202 is neither a slide operation nor a tap operation in the selection area 106 (S211: NO → S216: NO), the control unit 11 determines that there is a process assigned to the touch operation. (S209: YES), the process is executed (S210).

  When the browsing of the web screen 105 ends and a tap operation is performed on the close button 105 b (S 204: YES), the control unit 11 erases the web screen 105 from the display 3 (S 219) and ends the browsing process.

<Effect of this embodiment>
According to the present embodiment, when a screen (information registration screen 104, web screen 105) including a plurality of objects to be selected (edit box 104a, link image 105a) is displayed on display 3, the touch operation is performed. However, it is determined whether or not the touch operation is performed while wearing the glove. Then, when it is determined that the touch operation is performed while wearing the glove, the selection area 106 having a larger area than the object is displayed on the display 3, and the object is selected by the slide operation in the selection area 106. To be done. Therefore, the user can easily select a desired object while wearing the glove, and can prevent an erroneous operation.

  When a plurality of objects to be selected are objects not being notified that they have been touched in the middle of a touch operation and at the stage when the objects are touched, the user can use the touch position based on the notification. In the case of an erroneous operation caused by wearing a glove, it is necessary to repeat the touch operation. According to the present embodiment, the glove correspondence control process is performed on the screen including such an object, so that it is possible to prevent a situation in which the touch operation is unnecessarily repeated due to the occurrence of an erroneous operation.

  Furthermore, according to the present embodiment, since the selection area 106 is displayed on the display 3 so as to avoid the object to be selected, the display of the object is not hindered.

  Furthermore, according to the present embodiment, since the touch operation for selecting an object in the selection area 106 is a slide operation, that is, a touch operation accompanied by movement of a touch position, the user can set each object to It can be intuitive and easy to understand that the operation is to be selected sequentially.

  Furthermore, according to the present embodiment, a screen (information registration screen 104, web screen 105) including a plurality of objects to be selected, that is, a screen requiring an operation by the selection area 106 is actually displayed. Since the determination regarding the presence or absence of the touch operation by glove wearing is performed based on the touch operation on the display 3, the selection area 106 can be displayed with high accuracy.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, when the touch operation is accurately performed on the object to be selected, the determination regarding the presence or absence of the touch operation by glove wearing is not performed, and the touch operation is by glove wearing. Even if there is a selection area 106 is not displayed. As described above, by not displaying the selection area 106 when it seems unnecessary, it is possible to prevent, as much as possible, the display of the screen displayed on the display 3 from being disturbed by the display of the selection area 106.

  As mentioned above, although the embodiment of the present invention was described, the present invention is not limited at all by the above-mentioned embodiment etc. In addition, the embodiment of the present invention can be variously modified in addition to the above. is there.

<Modification example>
In the above embodiment, based on the touch operation on the display 3 on which a screen including a plurality of objects to be selected is actually displayed, the determination regarding the presence or absence of the touch operation by glove wearing is performed. However, before a screen including a plurality of objects to be selected is displayed, when a screen other than the screen is displayed on the display 3, the determination regarding the presence or absence of the touch operation by glove wearing is performed. The glove determination process may be performed by the control unit 11. Then, when a screen including a plurality of objects to be selected is displayed on the display 3, the result of the glove determination process may be used to display the selection area 106.

  The storage unit 12 is provided with a glove detection flag used for the glove determination process.

  FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing glove determination processing according to the present modified example. The glove determination process is performed, for example, each time another screen is displayed on the display 3.

  When a touch operation is performed on the display 3 on which another screen is displayed (S301), the control unit 11 determines whether the touch operation is a touch operation while wearing a glove (S302). ). If the detected touch operation is a touch operation while wearing a glove (S302: YES), the control unit 11 sets the glove detection flag if the glove detection flag is in a reset state (S303: YES). (S304) If the glove detection flag is in the set state (S303: NO), the set state is maintained. On the other hand, if the detected touch operation is not the touch operation with the glove worn (S302: NO), the control unit 11 resets the glove detection flag if the glove detection flag is in the set state (S305: YES) If the glove detection flag is in the reset state (S305: NO), the reset state is maintained.

  FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing contact information registration processing according to the present modification. In the contact information registration process of this modification, in contrast to the contact information registration process of the above embodiment shown in FIG. 5, the processes of step S131 and step S132 are added between the process of step S101 and the process of step S102. It is done.

  In the present modified example, when the information registration screen 104 is displayed (S101), next, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the glove detection flag is set (S131). That is, in the screen before the information registration screen 104 is displayed, it is determined whether the touch operation with the glove worn has already been made. When the glove detection flag is set (S131: YES), there is a high possibility that the touch operation with the glove worn may be performed on the information registration screen 104 as well. Therefore, the control unit 11 causes the display 3 to display the selection area 106 as in the process of step S112 (S132).

  The configuration of the present modification may be applied not to contact information registration processing but to browsing processing. In this case, the processes of step S131 and step S132 shown in FIG. 15 are added between the process of step S201 of the browsing process shown in FIG. 10 and the process of step S202.

  As described above, according to this modification, when a touch operation with a plurality of objects to be selected is displayed when there is a high possibility that the touch operation with the glove worn is performed, the user waits for the touch operation. Since the selection area 106 is displayed, the user can use the selection area 106 quickly when wearing a glove.

Other Modifications
In the above embodiment, the selection of the object is performed based on the slide operation in the selection area 106. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the selection of an object may be performed based on a flick operation, which is a touch operation involving the same movement of the touch position as the slide operation.

  Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, globe compatible control processing is applied to the application of the telephone directory and the application of the web browser. However, glove corresponding control processing may be applied to other applications in which a screen including a plurality of objects to be selected is an execution screen.

  Furthermore, in the above embodiment, based on the touch operation while the selection area 106 is displayed, the determination regarding the presence or absence of the touch operation by the glove is performed, and it is determined that the touch operation is not the touch operation as it is worn. A series of processes may be performed by the control unit 11 so that the selected area 106 is erased when it occurs. In this way, when the user removes the glove and performs a touch operation, the selected area 106 disappears from the display 3, so that the screen portion hidden in the selected area 106 can be displayed on the display 3.

  Furthermore, instead of the selection area 106 of the above-described embodiment, the selection area 116 shown in FIG. 16A may be displayed on the display 3 based on the determination related to the presence or absence of the touch operation by the glove. The selection area 116 is composed of a plurality of bars 116 a aligned in the vertical direction. In this case, as shown in FIG. 16 (b), the bars 116a light up in order from the top according to the slide operation downward. In this way, the user can recognize that the slide operation has been accepted by the lighting of each bar 116a.

  Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the selection target is shifted to the next object by one slide operation. However, depending on the length of the slide operation, the number of moving objects may be changed, such as two or three ahead. In this case, when the selection area 116 described above is used, the degree of the slide operation may be easily understood by the user.

  Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the present invention is applied to a smartphone-type mobile phone. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the present invention may be applied to other types of mobile phones such as straight type, folding type, sliding type and the like.

  Furthermore, the present invention is not limited to mobile phones, and can be applied to various mobile terminal devices such as PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants) and tablet PCs (Tablet PCs). Furthermore, the present invention is also applicable to digital cameras, digital video cameras, portable music players and portable game machines. That is, the present invention is applicable to various portable electronic devices whose operation is performed on a display.

  In addition to the above, the embodiment of the present invention can be variously modified as appropriate within the scope of the technical idea shown in the claims.
