It can be installed. The display unit case 20 remotely operates the imaging unit case 10 via wireless communication using the activated camera operation dedicated application (program). The remote control includes operations such as shooting start / stop, setting of operation mode, zooming, setting of shooting conditions, and viewing of a shot image (shooting moving image). The display unit casing 20 side is not limited to a dedicated device, and may be, for example, a smartphone, a tablet terminal, or the like.

  In FIG. 2 (1), the imaging unit housing 10 includes a communication unit 11, a ROM 12, a RAM 13, an imaging unit 14, an operation unit 15, a recording medium 16, a posture sensor 17, and a CPU 18. The communication unit 11 transmits a live view image to the display unit casing 20, receives an operation instruction signal from the display unit casing 20, and the like. The ROM 12 stores programs executed by the CPU 18 described later, various parameters required for operations, and the like. The RAM 13 is used as a buffer memory for temporarily storing image data captured by the imaging unit 14 and as a working memory when a CPU 18 described later executes a program.

  The imaging unit 14 has a lens block including an optical lens group, and an imaging device such as a CCD and a CMOS, converts an image input from the lens block into a digital signal by the imaging device, and outputs the digital signal. The operation unit 15 is a hardware key including a basic operation key such as a power switch or a mode key, and outputs an operation signal according to the key operation of the user. The recording medium 16 stores image data and the like captured by the imaging unit 14. The orientation sensor 17 detects the orientation of the camera, which indicates whether the imaging of the imaging unit casing 10 is horizontal (horizontal composition) or vertical (longitudinal composition), and the CPU 18 detects the orientation of the camera. The (posture) is added to the live view image captured by the imaging unit 14. The CPU 18 controls the operation of each unit by executing the program stored in the ROM 12 described above, and transmits the live view image captured by the imaging unit 14 from the communication unit 11 to the display unit case 20 as needed Control to

The RAM 23 stores data such as temporary data when the CPU 27 described below executes a program, various application programs, and various parameters necessary for executing the application.

  The touch display unit 24 constitutes a touch screen in which the touch panel 24 b is stacked and arranged on the screen of the display unit 24 a. The display unit 24a displays the function name to which various software keys (touch keys) are allocated and arranged, displays an icon, displays various messages, displays various menu screens, and an imaging unit. The live view image captured by the housing 10 is displayed, and the captured image recorded and stored is reproduced and displayed. The aspect ratio thereof is, for example, 4: 4 in height: 3 in height. In addition, although the display part 24a is a display part by a liquid crystal, for example, it may be a display part by organic EL (Electro Luminescence).

  The touch panel 24b adopts, for example, a capacitance method or a resistance film method, and as a type of touch operation, a single tap of an operation (a single tapping operation) and an operation of touching any position immediately after touching it. In this embodiment, when a drag operation is performed to sequentially trace over a plurality of icons displayed on the display unit 24a, the drag operation is performed in a predetermined manner. It is recognized that it is a touch operation instructing processing. Note that the operation on the touch panel 24 is not limited to a touch operation in which a finger or a pen directly touches, but as an operation approximating the touch operation, for example, capacitance change or brightness change due to approaching or approaching movement of the finger or pen It is meant to include proximity operation that detects the position of a finger or a pen depending on the situation. That is, not only the touch type touch panel which detects a touch operation but a proximity type touch panel or a device may be used. The operation unit 25 is a hardware key of mechanical switches such as a power switch, a shutter key, and a volume key.

  The attitude sensor 26 includes an acceleration sensor, an angular velocity sensor, and the like for detecting the attitude of the display unit housing 20.

A shooting instruction signal is transmitted to the imaging unit casing 10 via the communication unit 21 according to the operation (corresponding to pressing of the shutter key), or a live view image transmitted as needed from the imaging unit casing 10 is received and displayed. It controls to display on the part 24a.

FIG. 3 is a diagram for describing a drag operation on the touch panel 24b as an operation for instructing execution of a predetermined process.
3 (1) and 3 (2) show a drag operation performed when the display unit housing 20 is in landscape orientation (horizontally long screen), and in the figure, four corner portions of the monitor screen realized by the display unit 24a are shown. A plurality of icons (touch keys) A to D to which different functions are respectively assigned are arranged and displayed. That is, an icon (character string of ZOOM) A instructing zoom adjustment is arranged and displayed in the upper left corner of the monitor screen (horizontal screen) of the display unit 24a, and an instruction to return to the home screen is instructed in the lower left corner Icon (HOME symbol) B, an icon (PLAY symbol) C instructing playback of an image in the lower right corner, and an icon (character string DISP) D instructing switching of a screen in the upper right corner Arrangement is displayed.

  When the drag operation of tracing the two or more icons among the plurality of icons A to D is performed, the CPU 27 performs the drag operation of tracing on the plurality of icons based on the touch coordinate sequence from the touch display unit 24. It is made to detect an event and to detect an ID (type) of an icon and a sequence of tracing as a combination of traced touch keys. The example of FIG. 3 (1) shows the case where three icons arranged in an L shape are sequentially traced, and the CPU 27 determines the combination of the traced icons in accordance with the L-shaped drag operation. The icons A, B and C are detected as (ID and order). Further, the example of FIG. 3 (2) shows a case where two icons arranged in the vertical direction are sequentially traced, and the CPU 27 determines the combination of the traced icons according to the I-shaped drag operation. The icons A and B are detected as (ID and order). Then, the CPU 27 calculates a drag table, which will be described later, according to the orientation (ID and order) of the traced icons and the orientation of the display unit case 20 (touch display unit 24) detected based on the output result of the attitude sensor 26. The predetermined process to be executed is specified by referring to FIG.

  The example of FIG. 3 (3) and (4) has shown the drag operation performed in the state of the display part housing | casing 20 longitudinally (vertically long screen). Thus, when the orientation of the display unit case 20 is changed, as illustrated, an icon B is displayed at the upper left corner of the monitor screen (vertical screen) of the display unit 24a, and an icon C is displayed at the lower left corner. The icon D in the lower right corner and the icon A in the upper right corner change to a positional relationship, but in the present embodiment, the dragging operation is performed regardless of the orientation of the display unit case 20. If the arrangement states of the plurality of icons are similar, the same process is specified as the predetermined process.

  That is, as in the case of FIG. 3 (1), the example of FIG. 3 (3) shows the case where three icons arranged in an L-shape are sequentially traced, and the CPU 27 determines the L-shaped case. In response to the drag operation, the icons B, C, and D are detected as a combination (ID and order) of the traced icons. Further, as in the case of FIG. 3 (2), the example of FIG. 3 (4) shows the case where two icons arranged in the vertical direction are sequentially traced, and the CPU 27 performs I-shaped drag Icons B and C are detected as a combination (ID and order) of the drawn icons according to the operation. Thus, the combination (ID and order) of the icons detected in the case of FIG. 3 (3) or (4) is the combination (ID and order) of the icons detected in the case of FIG. 3 (1) or (2). Although different, the arrangement state of the plurality of icons traced by the drag operation is L-shaped or I-shaped, and both are similar, so that the same processing is specified as an execution target as the predetermined processing. I have to.

  In the arrangement state of the plurality of icons, the positional relationship of each icon with respect to the reference direction is, for example, a fixed direction not affected by the orientation of the display unit case 20 as the reference direction (lower vertical direction in the example shown). , The upper left corner, the lower left corner, the lower right corner, and the upper right corner. That is, even if the orientation of the display unit housing 20 changes from horizontal to vertical, the four corners of the monitor screen correspond to the upper left corner, the lower left corner, the lower right corner, and the upper right corner with reference to the lower vertical direction. It shows that it is in a positional relationship. Further, in the case of an L-shaped drag operation, the arrangement state is similar, the arrangement of each icon is substantially L-shaped regardless of the difference in the length of each side of the L-shape described later. Indicates that it is good.

FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining the drag table DT stored in the display unit casing 20 side.
The drag table DT is stored in advance in the ROM 22, and is to be executed according to the combination of the orientation of the display unit case 20 (touch display unit 24) and the plurality of icons traced by the drag operation. It is referred to specify a predetermined process, and has items of “posture (angle)”, “combination of icons (ID and order)”, and “process”.

  The item of "attitude (angle)" is the attitude of the display unit case 20 detected based on the output result of the attitude sensor 26, that is, the rotation angle (direction of the display unit 24a on a plane including the display surface of the display unit 24a). ) Is shown. That is, assuming that the reference of the posture is 0 °, 90 °, 180 °, 270 ° as illustrated, for example, when 60 ° is detected as an angle change of the display unit casing 20 (display portion 24a) with respect to this reference The item is referred to when it is determined that the posture of the display unit case 20 has changed in the direction (clockwise or counterclockwise) changed with respect to the reference at that time. The angle change with respect to the reference posture (0 °, 90 °, 180 °, 270 °) is not limited to 60 °, and may be arbitrarily changed.

  “Combination of icons (ID and order)” indicates a combination of a plurality of icons traced by a drag operation, and is an item storing the type (ID) of the traced icons and the tracing order, and a plurality of icons A to When a drag operation is performed to trace the two to four icons of D, this item is referred to when it is determined which combination it corresponds to. Here, in the item of “combination of icons (ID and order)”, the order of arrangement of the icon IDs indicates the order of tracing by the drag operation. In the illustrated example, “ABC”, “AB”, and “AD” are stored as a combination of icons corresponding to the 0 ° attitude, and “BCD” and “BC” as a combination of icons corresponding to the 90 ° attitude. “,” “BA” is stored. In the illustrated example, when a drag operation of tracing an icon within a range of 2 to 4 is performed, the operation is validated, but an exception (1 or 5 or more) drag operations are performed. In that case, the operation is invalidated.

  “Process” indicates a process to be executed according to the orientation of the display unit case 20 (touch display unit 24) and the combination (ID and order) of the plurality of icons traced by the drag operation, as shown in FIG. In the example, in the case of the attitude of 0 °, the processing of “display direction lock / release” is stored corresponding to the combination of the icons (ID and order) “ABC”, and “upside down” corresponding to “AB” , And “AD”, the processing of “horizontal inversion” is stored. Further, in the case of the 90 ° attitude, the processing of “display direction lock / release” is stored corresponding to the combination of icons (ID and order) “BCD”, “upside down” corresponding to “BC”, It shows the case where the process of "horizontal inversion" is stored corresponding to "BA". The process of “display direction lock / release” will be described in detail later with reference to FIGS. 7 and 8. However, the direction (display direction) of the display content (for example, live view image) is fixed in a fixed direction. It is processing to switch whether or not. Further, “vertical inversion” and “horizontal inversion” are processing for inverting the display content in the vertical or horizontal direction and replacing the vertical or horizontal direction. The contents of the drag table DT may be arbitrarily changed by the user operation.

  Next, the operation concept of the imaging apparatus in the present embodiment, in particular, the display unit casing 20 side, will be described with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. Here, each function described in these flowcharts is stored in the form of readable program code, and the operation according to the program code is sequentially executed. Also, operations according to the above-described program code transmitted via a transmission medium such as a network can be sequentially executed. That is, other than the recording medium, the program / data supplied externally via the transmission medium can be used to execute the operation specific to this embodiment. 5 and 6 are flowcharts showing an outline of the operation of the characteristic part of the present embodiment in the overall operation of the imaging apparatus, and when the flow of FIG. 5 and FIG. Return to the main flow (not shown).

FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 are flowcharts for explaining the touch processing that is started on the display unit casing 20 side by the interruption every predetermined time.
First, the CPU 27 of the display unit case 20 checks whether a touch (touchdown) on the touch panel 24b has been detected (step S1 in FIG. 5), and if no touchdown is detected (NO in step S1), In the standby state, when a touchdown is detected (YES in step S1), it is determined whether a touch on an area (hereinafter referred to as an icon area) of coordinates considered to be touched by any displayed icon is detected. It investigates (step S2). Now, if a touch on the icon area is not detected (NO in step S2), the process exits from the flow of FIGS. 5 and 6, but if a touch on any icon area is detected (YES in step S2) The initial value "1" is written in n (not shown) (step S3). The counter n counts the number of icons touched (touched) by the drag operation (the order of tracing), and the value of the counter n becomes “1” when the first icon is touched. Then, the CPU 27 associates the value of the counter n with the ID of the touched icon, and temporarily stores the value in the RAM 23 (step S4).

  Next, it is checked whether the touch coordinates deviated from the icon area (step S5), and if the touch in the icon area continues (NO in step S5), the process moves to the next step S6, and the icon area is moved to Find out if the touch was off (touch up). If the touch is continued (NO in step S6), the process returns to step S5 described above, but when touch-up is detected (YES in step S6), it is recognized that a single tap has been performed and step S7 And execute processing according to the function assigned to the icon. Thereafter, the flow of FIG. 5 and FIG.

  On the other hand, when the touch coordinates deviate from the icon area (YES in step S5), as described above, the drag to another icon area different from the icon ID temporarily stored in the RAM 23 in association with the value of the counter n is detected. Whether or not it is checked (step S8). Here, when a drag to another icon area is detected (YES in step S8), the value of counter n is incremented by “1” to update the value (step S9), and then the drag operation is performed. Whether n ≦ 4 is satisfied is checked by comparing the maximum number of icons “4” that can be traced with the value of the counter n (step S10).

  At first, since the value of the counter n is updated from “1” to “2”, n ≦ 4 is satisfied (NO in step S10), and the value of the counter n and the icon where the drag is detected And the process of temporarily storing them in the RAM 23 in association with each other (step S11), and then the process returns to step S8 described above. Furthermore, when a drag to another icon area is detected (YES in step S8), the value of counter n is updated to "3" (step S9), but in this case also, n ≦ 4 holds (step Likewise, after the execution of step S11, the process returns to step S8 described above. If the value of the counter n is updated to “4” or more (NO in step S10), the process of temporarily storing the icon ID (step S11) is skipped and the process returns to step S8 described above.

  On the other hand, after the touch coordinates deviate from the icon area (YES in step S5), if dragging to the same icon area is performed again, it is determined as NO in step S8, and the process moves to step S12 in FIG. If it is determined that touch-up has been detected (NO in step S12), the process returns to step S8 in FIG. That is, when the same icon area is touched many times, only the first touch on the icon is enabled. In other words, when a drag operation is performed to enter and exit the same icon area, processing for temporarily storing the icon ID (steps S4 and S11) is performed only at the time of the first touch detection, and the second time Skips on subsequent touches.

  In addition, if dragging is continuing between adjacent icons, it is determined NO in step S8 as in the above case, and the process moves to step S12 in FIG. The process returns to step S8 in FIG. 5 (NO in S12). Here, when touch-up is detected (YES in step S12 of FIG. 6), it is checked whether the coordinates at touch-up coincide with the icon area temporarily stored at the end by the drag operation (step S13). When the touch-up is performed at a position out of the icon area traced (NO in step S13), the flow of FIGS. 5 and 6 is left to invalidate the drag operation. On the other hand, when the touch-up in the icon area finally traced (YES in step S13), the process moves to the next step S14, and the minimum number of icons "2" which can be traced by the drag operation and the value of the counter n It is checked whether n ≧ 2 is satisfied by comparing with.

  Here, if n ≧ 2 does not hold (NO in step S14), the flow of FIGS. 5 and 6 is skipped to invalidate the drag operation, but when n ≧ 2 holds (YES in step S14) And processing of detecting the orientation of the display unit case 20, that is, the orientation of the display unit 24a on a plane including the display surface of the display unit 24a, based on the output result of the orientation sensor 26 (step S15). Then, the combination of the value of the temporary storage counter n and the icon ID is read out from the RAM 23 as a combination of icons traced by the drag operation (step S16). Then, the drag table DT is referred to (step S17) based on the combination of the detected orientation of the display unit 24a and the read icon (step S17), and it is checked whether there is a "process" corresponding to the orientation and the combination (step S18). . If there is no corresponding "process" (NO in step S18), the process of Fig. 5 and Fig. 6 is skipped to invalidate the drag operation, but if there is a corresponding "process" (YES in step S18) , Shift to the execution of the "process" (step S19). Thereafter, the flow of FIG. 5 and FIG.

Hereinafter, a specific example will be described in which a predetermined process is specified and executed in accordance with a drag operation of tracing a plurality of icons.
For example, in the case of the horizontally long screen shown in FIGS. 3 (1) and 3 (2), 0 ° is detected as the posture of the display unit case 20, and in the case of the vertically long screen shown in FIGS. 3 (3) and 3 (4). In this case, 90 ° is detected as the attitude of the display unit housing 20. Now, as shown in FIGS. 3 (1) and 3 (2), when the posture of the display unit casing 20 is at 0 °, an L-shaped drag dragging three icons as shown in FIG. 3 (1) When the operation is performed, the icons A, B, and C are detected as the combination of the icons. Therefore, “display direction lock / cancel” is specified and executed as the predetermined process corresponding to the direction and the combination. Also, as shown in FIG. 3 (2), when an I-shaped drag operation is performed to follow two icons, the icons A and B are detected as a combination of icons, and so the direction and combination are applicable. As the predetermined process, "vertical inversion" is specified and executed.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 3 (3) and 3 (4), when the posture of the display unit casing 20 is 90 °, an L-shaped drag tracing three icons as shown in FIG. 3 (3) When the operation is performed, the icons B, C, and D are detected as the combination of the icons, so “display direction lock / release” is specified and executed as the predetermined process corresponding to the direction and the combination. Also, as shown in FIG. 3 (4), when an I-shaped drag operation is performed to trace two icons, the icons B and C are detected as a combination of the icons, and so the orientation and combination are applicable. As the predetermined process, "vertical inversion" is specified and executed.

  As described above, regardless of the attitude (direction of the screen) of the display unit housing 20, in the L-shaped drag operation, the same "display direction lock / release" is specified and executed, I-shaped In the drag operation of, the same "upside down" is specified and executed. Further, in the “display direction lock / release” in the present embodiment, the display direction lock display mode and the lock thereof are performed each time an L-shaped drag operation as shown in FIGS. 3 (1) and 3 (3) is performed. The display mode of cancellation is alternately switched. Similarly, in the “vertical upside down”, as shown in FIGS. 3 (2) and 3 (4), each time an I-shaped drag operation is performed, the upright display mode is selected. A process of alternately switching between the inverted display mode is performed.

Next, the process of “display direction lock / release” will be specifically described with reference to FIGS. 7 and 8.
“Display direction lock / release” is processing for switching whether or not to fix the direction (display direction) of the display content (for example, live view image) in a fixed direction. That is, the first control method controls the display direction of the display content so that the direction of the display content becomes constant with respect to a certain reference direction (lower vertical direction in the example of FIG. 3) which is not affected by the orientation of Of the display content so that the orientation of the display content with respect to the display unit casing 20 (touch display unit 24) becomes constant even if the orientation of the display unit casing 20 changes and the display control mode (operation mode) of And the second display control mode (operation mode) for controlling the

  In FIG. 7, when the display direction is not fixed (when the display direction is switched to the unlock state), that is, even if the orientation of the display unit 20 is changed, a certain reference direction is not affected by the change. On the other hand, in the first display control mode in which the direction of the display content is controlled to be constant, the display content according to the orientation of the imaging unit casing 10 and the display unit casing 20 is illustrated. 7 (1) and 7 (2) show a state in which the display unit housing 20 is in landscape orientation (horizontally long screen), and in FIG. 7 (1), imaging is performed with the imaging unit casing 10 in landscape orientation (horizontal composition) 7B is a view showing display contents (live view image) in the case where the imaging unit casing 10 is imaged with the portrait orientation (longitudinal composition) taken.

  In this case, assuming that a constant direction not influenced by the orientation of the display unit casing 20 is a reference direction, the CPU 27 changes the imaging unit casing 10 from horizontal orientation to vertical orientation as shown in FIGS. Even in this case, the display direction is controlled such that the orientation of the display content (live view image) is constant (in the example shown, in the lower vertical direction) with respect to the reference direction. Here, since the live view image captured vertically is displayed in accordance with the horizontal and vertical sizes of the horizontally long monitor screen, black bands are displayed in the margin areas generated on the left and right of the monitor screen. .

  Further, in a state where the display unit casing 20 is vertically oriented (vertically long screen), FIG. 7 (3) shows the case where the imaging unit casing 10 is imaged vertically, and FIG. 7 (4) is an imaging unit It is the figure which showed the display content (live view image) at the time of imaging the housing | casing 10 sideways. Also in this vertically long screen, assuming that a constant direction not affected by the orientation of the display unit casing 20 is a reference direction, the CPU 27 starts the imaging unit casing 10 from the vertical orientation as shown in FIGS. 7 (3) and (4). The display direction of the display content (live view image) is controlled such that the orientation of the display content is constant (downward vertical direction in the illustrated example) with respect to the reference direction even if it is changed horizontally. Here, since the live view image captured in the horizontal orientation is displayed in accordance with the vertical and horizontal sizes of the vertically long monitor screen, black bands are displayed in the margin areas generated above and below the monitor screen.

  The above example shows the case where the orientation of the imaging unit casing 10 is changed in a state where the orientation of the display unit casing 20 is fixed, but conversely, the orientation of the imaging unit casing 10 is fixed When the orientation of the display unit casing 20 is changed in the state where the display unit casing 20 is in the horizontal state, for example, as shown in FIGS. 7 (1) and (4), the display unit casing 20 is The same applies to the case where the horizontal view is changed to the vertical view, and the live view image captured in the horizontal composition has a constant direction regardless of the change in the direction of the display unit 20 (the lower vertical direction in the illustrated example). Display control is to be). In addition, as shown in FIGS. 7 (2) and 7 (3), when the display unit casing 20 is changed from horizontal orientation to vertical orientation with the imaging unit casing 10 in the vertical orientation, the live view captured in the vertical composition The display control of the image is controlled so that the direction is constant (in the example shown, in the lower vertical direction) regardless of the change in the direction of the display housing 20.

  FIG. 8 shows the case where the display direction of the display content is locked in a state in which the imaging unit casing 10 and the display unit casing 20 are separated, that is, even if the orientation of the display unit casing 20 is changed In the second display control mode in which the display direction is fixed so that the direction of the display content with respect to the body 20 (touch display unit 24) is constant, the display content according to the direction of the display unit case 20 is illustrated. . FIG. 8 (1) shows the display contents in the case of imaging in the horizontal composition in the state of the landscape screen, and FIGS. 8 (2) to 8 (4) show the display contents in the direction of the display contents shown in FIG. 8 (1). FIG. 13 is a view showing display contents in the case where the display unit casing 20 is rotated clockwise or counterclockwise every 90 ° to change the direction in the state where the direction is locked. In the figure, solid arrows indicate that the display housing 20 is rotated counterclockwise every 90 °, and broken arrows indicate that the display housing 20 clockwise every 90 °. 8 (1) to 8 (4), the orientation of the display content with respect to the display unit casing 20 is constant, regardless of how the orientation of the display unit casing 20 is changed. The display is controlled to be

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the CPU 27 of the display unit case 20 displays the touch panel 24 b of the touch display unit 24 in a state where a plurality of distinguishable indicators are displayed at predetermined different positions on the touch display unit 24. When a touch operation to touch on a plurality of different indicators is performed, a display unit specified based on the detection result and the output result of the posture sensor 26 is detected. Since execution of predetermined processing is controlled in accordance with the orientation of the case 20 (touch display unit 24), comprehensive operability such as versatility, reliability, and comfort of user operation on the touch panel 24b. Can be further improved. In other words, the user can instruct execution of various processes simply by variously changing the way of touching a plurality of different indicators, or even if the orientation of the display unit case 20 (touch display unit 24) changes. It is possible to instruct execution of a predetermined process without changing the method, or it may be an easy-to-understand operation of touching on the index, and the user can select from a large number of processes without increasing the number of indices. It is possible to direct the execution of the desired process of

  In the present embodiment, the CPU 27 of the display unit case 20 performs a combination (ID and order) of the traced indicators when a drag operation of tracing a plurality of indicators (for example, icons) on the touch display unit 24 is performed. Since a predetermined process is specified and executed according to the orientation of the display unit case 20 (touch display unit 24) detected and detected based on the combination of the indicators and the output result of the posture sensor 26, As in the prior art, the heavy processing of recognizing the drag operation while analyzing the touch coordinate sequence (movement locus) traced by the drag operation becomes unnecessary, and the predetermined processing is executed by the light processing of detecting the combination of the indicators And the possibility of malfunction is low even if it is touched accidentally, and it can be expected to improve operability, and it is possible to use existing indicators without having to add new indicators. It is possible.

  When the orientation of the display unit case 20 is different and the combination of indices (order and ID) detected for each direction is different when the orientation of the display unit case 20 is different, the arrangement state of the indicators is similar. Since the same process is specified as the predetermined process regardless of the change in the direction, when the user instructs execution of the predetermined process, regardless of the direction of the display unit case 20, The same drag operation can be performed, and the operability is improved.

  The arrangement state of a plurality of indicators indicates the positional relationship of each indicator with respect to the reference direction with a certain direction not influenced by the orientation of the display unit housing 20 as a reference direction, and the positional relationship of each indicator with respect to the reference direction is similar. Then, since the same process is specified as the predetermined process, for example, in the case of instructing execution of “display direction lock / release”, the L character is displayed regardless of the orientation of the display unit case 20. It suffices to perform a pattern-like drag operation.

  When a drag operation is performed on a plurality of indicators, if there are a plurality of combinations of the indicators being detected, one combination (ID and order) is detected, and a predetermined process is performed according to the combination. Since the identification is made, the number of processes that can be executed by the drag operation can be increased despite the light process, and the execution of the desired process can be instructed among more processes. .

  When a drag operation on multiple indicators is detected, if the same indicator is dragged multiple times at different timings, the first drag operation on the indicators is enabled, so the user It is not necessary to accurately compare multiple indicators, for example, even rough drag operations while walking etc. can be detected as effective operations, resulting in better operability. .

  Each of the plurality of indicators is an icon (touch key) to which a predetermined function is assigned, and in the case of specifying a predetermined process, specifies a predetermined process different from the process executed by the function of each icon. As a result, in addition to the functions assigned to the existing indicators, new functions that can be indicated by the drag operation can be added. Existing indicators can be used without newly providing dedicated indicators for adding this new function.

  Since the process of switching “display direction lock / release” is specified as the predetermined process, even if the orientation of the imaging unit casing 10 and the display unit casing 20 can be freely changed, Accordingly, it is possible to arbitrarily select whether or not to change the orientation of the display content, and it is possible to display in accordance with the user's intention.

  The imaging apparatus is configured to be separable into an imaging unit casing 10 including an imaging unit 14 and a display unit casing 20 including a touch display unit 24 and an attitude sensor 26. The display unit casing 20 side is an imaging unit Since the captured image (for example, live view image) acquired from the housing 10 is displayed on the touch display unit 24 as display content including a plurality of indices, the user can select the captured image according to his / her preference It can be confirmed by the direction.

  When a drag operation for tracing a plurality of touch keys (icons) is performed, the display unit housing 20 detects a combination of the drawn icons, and based on the combination of the icons and the output result of the posture sensor 26. Since predetermined processing is specified and executed according to the detected orientation of the display unit housing 20, operability on the touch panel 24b can be improved by light processing, and the existing icon can be used. In addition to the assigned functions, new functions can be added.

In the embodiment described above, the drag table DT stores the order of being traced as the ID of the icon drawn as the combination of the icons (ID and order) as shown in FIG. May be only the icon type (ID). FIG. 9 is a diagram showing the drag table DT when the combination of icons is an icon ID. The drag table DT has items of “posture (angle)”, “combination of icon IDs”, and “process”.
“Combination of icon IDs” indicates the ID of the icon traced by the drag operation, and “combination of icon IDs (ID and order)” shown in FIG. 4 is traced to the type (ID) of the traced icon. In the “combination of icon IDs” of FIG. 9, the order of arrangement of the icon IDs is not the order of tracing, but is arbitrary and it does not matter in what order the icons are drawn. It is shown that. For example, if the combination of the icons is “AB”, it is determined that the corresponding drag operation is performed even if the combination is performed in the order of arrangement (AB) or in the reverse order (BA). Similarly, if the combination of the icons is "DBC", the corresponding drag operation is performed even when they are traced in the order of (DBC), (DCB), (BDC), (BCD), (CDB), and (CBD). It is judged that there is. As a result, the degree of freedom of the drag operation is increased, and for example, it becomes possible to cope with the user's habit or the like.

  Further, in the embodiment described above, the orientation of the display unit casing 20 (touch display unit 24) is detected based on the output result of the posture sensor 26, but not limited to the orientation of the display unit casing 20, The orientation of display content including a plurality of icons may be detected.

  In the embodiment described above, although one icon is arranged at each of four corners on the monitor screen, the number of icons is not limited to four and is arbitrary, and the arrangement state of the icons is also exemplified. Even if it arranges at four corners of the monitor screen, it is optional. Further, the drag operation is not limited to L-shaped and I-shaped, and may be Z-shaped and inverted L-shaped.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, when the same icon is touched a plurality of times, the first touch on the icon is made effective, but for example, a drag that reciprocates on a plurality of icons is performed. In the case of operation, multiple dragging on the same icon may be enabled.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the touch key (icon) to which the function is assigned is used as an index, but it may be an index that clearly indicates a shooting mode, shooting setting, etc. without a function. In this case, the operation may not be a drag operation, but may be an operation of touching a plurality of different indicators successively, and it is considered that touch-up that a predetermined time has elapsed since the indicators were last touched is a corresponding function It is good to carry out. Furthermore, even when a touch key (icon) to which a function is assigned is used as an indicator, it may be an operation of touching a plurality of different indicators in succession, and the indicator is touched and the other within a predetermined time. When the index of is touched, it may be regarded as a drag operation.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, in the process of “display direction lock / release”, the display mode of the display direction lock and the display mode of the lock release are alternately displayed each time the L-shaped drag operation is performed. Although switching is performed, for example, even in the case of an L-shaped drag operation, switching is made to the display direction lock display mode by the forward drag operation, and to the unlock release display mode by the backward drag operation. May be

  Further, in the embodiment described above, the case where the present invention is applied to an imaging apparatus that can be separated into the imaging unit casing 10 and the display unit casing 20 is shown, but the imaging unit and the display unit are integrated into one casing. It may be an imaging device. In addition to the imaging device, a personal computer, a PDA (personal portable information communication device), a tablet terminal device, a mobile phone such as a smartphone, an electronic game, a music player, or the like may be used.

  Further, the “device” and the “section” described in the above-described embodiment may be separated into a plurality of cases according to functions, and is not limited to a single case. Further, each step described in the above-described flowchart is not limited to the time-series processing, and a plurality of steps may be processed in parallel or processed independently.

As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was described, this invention is not limited to this, The invention described in the claim, and the range of equivalence are included.
