<< 1 >> Embodiment 1
<< 1-1 >> Configuration FIG. 1 is a functional block diagram schematically showing a configuration of the touch panel input device 1 (including the touch input determination device 10) according to the first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the touch panel input device 1 includes a touch input determination device 10 and a touch panel 20. The touch panel 20 is provided with an operation panel unit (user operation unit) 21 for receiving a touch operation by a user, and a display panel unit (display device) 22 disposed overlapping the operation panel unit 21 and providing an image such as an operation screen to the user. Is equipped. The touch input determination device 10 is a device capable of implementing the touch input determination method according to the first embodiment. In addition, the touch input determination device 10 is a device capable of executing the touch input determination program according to the first embodiment.

  In the first embodiment, a case where the present invention is applied to a destination floor registration device for registering a destination floor of an elevator system will be described. In this case, the touch panel input device 1 is provided in the elevator car and used by a user who is a passenger of the elevator. However, the touch panel 20 may be provided in the elevator car, and the touch input determination device 10 may be mounted on an elevator control device which is equipment outside the elevator car.

  First, an outline of the touch input determination device 10 according to the first embodiment will be described. In the touch input determination device 10, first, the operation determination unit 12 receives a signal A1 based on a first touch operation (for example, a tap or a double tap) on the touch panel 20 for determining the user's operation hand. The operation hand information indicating whether the operation hand performing the second touch operation (rotation operation) for changing the selection value is the right hand or the left hand is determined from the signal based on the touch operation of.

  In addition, the operation determination unit 12 is a change that indicates whether the change direction of the selected value (the selected floor that is the destination floor) is an increase direction (rising) or a decrease direction (falling) from the elevator control device that is an external device. Receive direction information A2. The change direction information A2 is information corresponding to the operation of the up button or down button installed on the elevator hall before the prospective person before boarding the elevator boarding the elevator car. That is, when the up button is pressed, the change direction is the increase direction, and when the down button is pressed, the change direction is the decrease direction.

  When the operation hand indicated by the operation hand information is the left hand and the change direction indicated by the change direction information A2 is the increase direction, the operation determination unit 12 performs the second rotation operation by the user (rotation operation) for right rotation. Setting the right rotation change amount RADD, which is a change amount when the second touch operation is a left rotation operation, to the first negative value (for example, “−1”). The left rotation change amount LADD is set to a first positive value (for example, "+1"). Here, the amount of change is a value that is added to the selected value each time the rotation angle by the rotation operation reaches a predetermined angle. In addition, the operation determination unit 12 sets the second rotation change amount RADD to a second positive value (for example, “R”) when the operator indicated by the operator information is the left hand and the change direction indicated by the change direction information A2 is a decrease direction. The left rotation change amount LADD is set to a second negative value (e.g., "-1").

  In addition, the operation determination unit 12 sets the right rotation change amount RADD to a third positive value (for example, “R”) when the operator indicated by the operator information is the right hand and the change direction indicated by the change direction information A2 is the increase direction. The left rotation change amount LADD is set to a third negative value (e.g., "-1"). When the operator indicated by the operator information is the right hand and the change direction indicated by the change direction information A2 is a decrease direction, the operation determination unit 12 sets the right rotation change amount RADD to a fourth negative value (for example, “−1 And the left rotation change amount LADD is set to a fourth positive value (for example, "+1"). The first to fourth positive values may be different from each other. The first to fourth negative values may be different from each other.

  When the second touch operation is a right rotation rotation operation, the operation determination unit 12 sets a value obtained by adding the right rotation change amount RADD to the current selection value as a new selection value after change, When the second touch operation is a rotation operation in the left rotation, a value obtained by adding the left rotation change amount LADD to the current selection value is set as a new selection value after change.

  The operation determination unit 12 determines the new selection value after the change as the current selection value according to the third touch operation on the touch panel 20 (for example, when the third touch operation is a double tap).

  By adopting the touch panel input device 1 or the touch input determination device 10, a left-handed user performs a left-handed rotation operation that is easy to operate, but there is almost no need to perform a right-handed rotation operation that is difficult to operate (but When the change direction of the selected value is changed, a right-handed rotation operation may be required). In addition, right-handed users perform right-handed rotation operations that are easy to operate, but there is almost no need to perform left-handed rotation operations that are difficult to operate (however, if the change direction of the selected value is changed, the left Rotation operation may be required).

  Next, details of the touch input determination device 10 according to the first embodiment will be described. As shown in FIG. 1, the touch input determination device 10 receives from the operation information input unit 11 that receives the operation information A0 provided from the operation panel unit 21 of the touch panel 20 on which the touch operation has been performed, and the operation information input unit 11. The operation determination unit 12 receives a signal A1 based on the provided operation information A0 and changes and determines the selection value A6 based on the signal A1, and outputs an audio signal based on the notification information A3 provided from the operation determination unit 12 as an audio Display for providing the display panel unit (display device) 22 of the touch panel 20 with the notification unit 18 outputting to the speaker as the device (41 in FIG. 2) and the image signal A5 based on the image information A4 provided from the operation determination unit 12 And a control unit 19.

  The operation determination unit 12 includes an operation type determination unit 13, an operator determination unit 14, a rotation direction determination unit 15, a selection value change unit 16, and a selection value determination unit 17.

  The operation information input unit 11 receives the operation information A0 based on the touch operation performed by the user on the touch panel 20, and provides a signal A1 based on the operation information A0 to each functional block in the operation determination unit 12.

  The operation type determination unit 13 receives the signal A1 based on the operation information A0 provided from the operation information input unit 11, and determines the type of touch operation performed by the user and the operation amount of the touch operation. The type of touch operation is, for example, tap, double tap, or rotation operation. Here, the tap is an operation of tapping the operation screen of the touch panel 20 with a finger, and the double tap is an operation of tapping the operation screen of the touch panel 20 with a finger twice. In addition, the rotation operation is an operation of moving two fingers in a circle on the operation screen of the touch panel 20. The rotation operation is shown in FIGS. 8 (a) to 8 (d) described later. The operation amount when the touch operation is a tap or a double tap is, for example, a range (area in contact) represented by two-dimensional coordinates when a finger touches the touch panel 20. The operation amount of the rotation operation is, for example, the rotation angle of the finger moved in a circle on the touch panel 20. This rotation angle is the amount of change from the angle at the start of rotation to the angle at the end of rotation in a series of rotation operations, that is, the first straight line connecting the rotation center and the rotation start point, the rotation center and the rotation end point It is an angle that the second straight line connects. In addition, the rotation operation performed with two fingers is an operation of drawing a circle by moving two fingers in different directions on the touch panel 20, or while fixing one finger at the center position of the circle. , Is an operation of moving the other finger to draw a circle.

  Based on the touch operation (first touch operation for determining the operation hand) performed by the user on the operation screen of the touch panel 20, the operation hand determination unit 14 performs subsequent touch operation (second touch operation) on the user. It is determined whether the rotation operation (operation) is performed by the right hand or the left hand, that is, whether the operation hand used for the rotation operation by the user is the right hand or the left hand.

  The rotation direction determination unit 15 includes operation hand information indicating whether the operation hand determined by the operation hand determination unit 14 is a left hand or a right hand, and selection values input from an external device or facility of the touch panel input device 1. From the information indicating the change direction, the left rotation change amount LADD which is the selection value change amount at the time of the left rotation rotation operation which is the second operation performed by the user and the right which is the selection value change amount at the right rotation rotation operation The rotational change amount RADD is determined. In the first embodiment, the information on the change direction of the selected value is the information on the destination direction (upper floor or lower floor) designated by the elevator hall. Further, the left rotation change amount which is the selection value change amount at the time of the left rotation rotation operation and the right rotation change amount which is the selection value change amount at the right rotation rotation operation are the change amount of the floor number.

  When the second touch operation is a rotation operation, the selection value changing unit 16 determines whether the rotation operation is left rotation or right rotation when the second touch operation is a rotation operation, and selects the current selection value. By adding the value change amount, a new selected value after change is acquired. In the first embodiment, the selected value is the destination floor number.

  When the current selection value is changed to the new selection value after the change by the selection value changing unit 16, the display control unit 19 changes the display on the operation screen from the current selection value before the change to the new selection value after the change. Change to selected value. In the first embodiment, the display control unit 19 transmits an image signal to the touch panel 20 and a liquid crystal monitor that displays the destination floor of the elevator.

  The notification unit 18 outputs an audio signal for notifying the selection value by voice when the selection value changing unit 16 changes the current selection value to a new selection value after the change as an audio output device (audio output unit) Send to In addition, the notification unit 18 may output an audio signal for outputting a sound indicating a rotation operation (for example, a sound imitating a rotation sound of a dial of a telephone) during the rotation operation with a finger.

  If the operation is a double tap from the operation information input from the operation information input unit 11 in the operation type determination unit 13, the selection value determination unit 17 selects a new selection after the change obtained by the selection value change unit 16. Determine the value as the new current selected value. In the first embodiment, the selected floor of the elevator is determined as the destination floor.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a hardware (H / W) configuration of the touch panel input device 1 according to the first embodiment. The touch panel 20 can detect touch of a plurality of fingers and generate operation information (identification information of each finger, coordinate information of touch position of finger, information indicating touch state of finger, etc.). When the processor 31 executes a program (touch operation determination program) which is software stored in the memory 32, the functions of the components of the touch input determination device 10 are realized. The display control unit 19 is realized by the display device 22 performing an operation based on an instruction of the processor 31. The voice output device 41 performs an operation based on an instruction of the processor 31, whereby the notification unit 18 is realized.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of an operation screen of the touch panel 20 of the touch panel input device 1 according to the first embodiment. In FIG. 3, on the operation screen of the touch panel 20, the currently selected floor is displayed in characters. In the first embodiment, the user performs a touch operation on the operation screen on the operation screen of the touch panel 20 using a hand 40 (usually, a finger).

<< 1-2 >> Operation FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing processing performed by the touch panel input device 1 and the touch input determination device 10 according to the first embodiment.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, first, in step S11 of FIG. 4, the operation hand determination unit 14 determines whether the operation hand used by the user for the rotation operation (second touch operation) is the right hand or the left hand It is determined whether there is any, and notification information indicating the determined operator (right hand or left hand) is provided to the notification unit 18, and a notification signal based on the notification information is provided from the notification unit 18 to the voice output device 41. The notification unit 18 causes the speaker of the audio output device 41 to output an announcement of information related to the touch operation.

  The process of step S11 will be specifically described using FIG. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing processing performed by the operator determining unit 14 according to the first embodiment.

  First, the notification unit 18 notifies the user of the designation method of the operator (step S111). For example, the notification unit 18 causes the voice output device 41 to announce the method of designating the operation hand by voice. The content of the announcement is, for example, "Determine the operation hand. Please tap if you want to operate with the right hand. Please double tap if you want to operate with the left hand." However, the combination of the operating hand and the operating method for determining the operating hand is not limited to the above example. For example, when operating with the right hand is a double tap, and operating with the left hand may be a tap. Alternatively, operations other than tap and double tap may be adopted as an operation method for determining the operation hand.

  Next, in step S12 of FIG. 4, the operation information input unit 11 acquires operation information A0 based on the touch operation performed on the touch panel 20.

  Next, in step S13 of FIG. 4, the operation type determination unit 13 receives the signal A1 based on the operation information A0 from the operation information input unit 11, and determines whether the touch operation is a tap.

  Next, when it is determined from the signal A1 based on the operation information A0 that the touch operation is a tap (YES in step S113), the operation hand determination unit 14 determines that the operator is the right hand (step S115).

  If it is determined from the signal A1 based on the operation information A0 that the touch operation is not a tap (NO in step S113), the operation type determination unit 13 determines whether the touch operation is a double tap (step S114).

  If it is determined from the signal A1 based on the operation information A0 that the touch operation is a double tap (YES in step S114), the operation hand determination unit 14 determines that the operator is the left hand (step S116).

  If it is determined from the signal A1 based on the operation information A0 that the touch operation is not a double tap (NO in step S114), the operation hand determination unit 14 determines that the operator is the right hand (step S117).

  Finally, at least one of the notification unit 18 and the display control unit 19 outputs an audio signal or an image signal to notify the user of the operation hand determined in step S115, step S116, and step S117 (step S118). . For example, the notification unit 18 causes the voice output device to make an announcement by voice. Alternatively, the display control unit 19 may cause the operation screen of the touch panel 20 to display a message notifying that the operator is determined. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a display example of a message notifying that the operation hand has been determined.

  Next, in step S12 in FIG. 4, the selection value change amount according to the rotation direction of the rotation operation is determined from the information on the hand determined by the rotation direction determination unit 15 and the operation hand determination unit 14 and the information on the change direction of selection value The notification unit 18 notifies the rotational direction by voice.

  Next, specific processing of the rotation direction determination unit 15 of the present embodiment will be described using FIG. 7. FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing processing of the rotation direction determination unit of the first embodiment. FIGS. 8A to 8D are diagrams showing a rotation operation with two fingers on the touch panel 20. FIG.

  First, it is determined from the information of the operating hand determined by the operating hand determination unit 14 whether the operating hand is the left hand (step S121).

  Next, when the operator is the left hand, it is determined whether the change direction of the selected value is addition or subtraction (step S122).

  When the change direction of the selected value is addition, the right rotation change amount RADD which is a change amount at the time of right rotation operation is “−1”, and the left rotation change amount LADD which is a change amount at the left rotation operation is “−1”. The determined value is stored in the storage unit (for example, the memory 32) (step S124).

  When the change direction of the selected value is subtraction, the right rotation change amount RADD, which is the change amount at the time of the right rotation operation, is determined as “+1”, and the left rotation change amount LADD, which is the change amount at the left rotation operation, is determined as “−1”. And stores the determined value in the storage unit (for example, the memory 32) (step S125).

  Next, when the operator is the right hand, it is determined whether the change direction of the selected value is addition or subtraction (step S123).

  If the change direction of the selected value is addition, the right rotation change amount RADD which is the change amount at the time of the right rotation operation is determined as "+1", and the left rotation change amount LADD which is the change amount at the left rotation operation Then, the determined value is stored in the storage unit (for example, the memory 32) (step S126).

  If the change direction of the selected value is subtraction, the right rotation change amount RADD, which is the change amount at the time of right rotation operation, is determined as “−1”, and the left rotation change amount LADD, which is the change amount at the left rotation operation, is determined as “+1”. Then, the determined value is stored in the storage unit (for example, the memory 32) (step S127).

  For example, when the operator determined by the operator determining unit 14 is the right hand and the destination direction of the elevator, which is the change direction of the selected value, is the upper floor, the operator determining unit 14 determines that the left rotation change amount LADD is “- It is determined that the right rotation change amount RADD is “+1”.

  Next, in step S13 of FIG. 4, the operation information input unit 11 acquires the operation information A0 from the touch panel 20.

  Next, in step S14 of FIG. 4, the operation type determination unit 13 determines the type of operation and the amount of operation from the signal A1 based on the operation information A0 acquired from the operation information input unit 11.

  Next, in step S15 of FIG. 4, when the type of operation is a rotation operation, the process proceeds to step S16. If the type of operation is not a rotation operation, the process proceeds to step S18.

  In step S16 of FIG. 4, the selection value changing unit 16 changes the current selection value according to the rotation direction of the rotation operation determined by the rotation direction determination unit 15, and the display control unit 19 It instructs to change the current selection value displayed on the operation screen of the touch panel 20. FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of an operation screen of the touch panel 20 displaying the current selected floor according to the first embodiment.

  Next, the process of the selection value changing unit 16 according to the first embodiment will be described. FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing the process of the selection value changing unit 16 according to the first embodiment.

  First, the selection value changing unit 16 determines whether or not the direction of the rotation operation (second operation) obtained from the operation type determination unit 13 is right rotation (step S161), and the direction of the rotation operation is right If it is a rotation (YES in step S161), the process proceeds to step S162. If the direction of the rotation operation is a left rotation (NO in step S161), the process proceeds to step S163.

  If the direction of the rotation operation is right rotation (YES in step S161), the current selection value SELFLR is added with the right rotation change amount RADD to calculate the current selection value (new selection value) SELFLR after the change. (Step S162). For example, if the current selection value SELFLR is “14” and the right rotation change amount RADD is “+1”, the calculated current selection value SELFLR after change is “15”. If the current selection value is the current selected floor, and the right rotation change amount RADD is the floor change amount during the right rotation operation, the current selected floor is "14th floor". If the right rotation operation is performed, after updating The current selection floor of will be "15th floor".

  If the direction of the rotation operation is left rotation (NO in step S161), the current selected value (new selected value) SELFLR is calculated by adding the left rotation change amount LADD to the current selected value SELFLR. (Step S163). For example, if the current selection value SELFLR is “14” and the left rotation change amount LADD is “−1”, the calculated current selection value SELFLR after change is “13”. Assuming that the current selection value is the current selected floor, and the left rotation change amount LADD is the floor change amount at the time of the left rotation operation, the current selected floor is “14th floor”, and after the left rotation operation, after change The current selection floor of is the "13th floor".

  In step S18 of FIG. 4, if the type of touch operation is a double tap (YES in step S18), the process proceeds to step S19. If the type of operation is not a double tap (NO in step S18), the process is step S13. Return to and get the operation information again.

  In step S19 of FIG. 4, the current selection value is determined as the determination value. For example, by double tapping on the touch panel of the registration device of the destination floor of the elevator, the current selected floor is determined as the destination floor.

  Finally, in step S20 of FIG. 4, the display control unit 19 displays on the operation screen of the display panel unit 22 of the touch panel 20 that the determination value has been determined, and the notification unit 18 uses the voice output device 33 to determine the determination value. It announces by voice that it has decided. FIG. 11 is a diagram showing a display example of the operation screen of the touch panel 20 after the determination value of the first embodiment is determined.

<< 1-3 >> Effect As described above, according to the first embodiment, for example, in the registration device of the destination floor of the elevator, the direction of the operator's hand (left hand or right hand) and the destination floor desired by the user (selection By matching the direction in which the user's operator easily operates the rotation with the direction of the destination floor from the change direction of the value), it is possible to reduce the inconvenience that the user feels in the rotation operation. That is, according to the first embodiment, the left-handed user performs the left-handed rotation operation that is easy to operate, but there is almost no need to perform the right-handed rotation operation that is difficult to operate. Although a right-handed rotation operation is performed which is easy to operate, there is almost no need to perform a left-handed rotation operation which is difficult to operate.
