Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
(1st Embodiment)
First, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
The present embodiment is a case where the present invention is applied to a multifunctional mobile phone called a smartphone as a small display device, and FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing basic components of the smartphone.
The small display device (smartphone) has basic functions such as a call function, an e-mail function, an Internet connection function, and a timekeeping function (a clock function and a timer function), a posture detection function for detecting the posture of the housing, and a touch panel. A display function (a touch screen in which a touch panel is stacked on a display screen) is provided. The control unit 1 operates by power supply from a power supply unit 2 including a secondary battery (not shown), and controls the overall operation of the smartphone according to various programs in the storage unit 3. It is.

  The storage unit 3 includes a program memory 3a, a work memory 3b, and the like. The program memory 3a stores programs and various applications for realizing the present embodiment in accordance with the operation procedures shown in FIGS. In addition to the stored information, information necessary for the information is stored. The work memory 3b is a work area for temporarily storing various information (for example, a flag, a timer time, and the like) necessary for the smartphone to operate. The storage unit 3 may be configured to include a removable portable memory (recording medium) such as an SD card, an IC card, or the like. May be included.

  The wireless communication unit 4 is a wide area communication unit used for a voice call function, an e-mail function, and an Internet connection function. The push button operation unit 5 includes various push button keys such as a power button. Although not shown, the imaging unit 6 is a camera unit that can capture a subject with high definition by forming a subject image from an optical lens on an image sensor (CCD, CMOS, or the like). The touch screen 7 configures a touch display function, and has a configuration in which a touch panel 7b is stacked on a display screen configuring the display unit 7a, and various software keys (touch keys) are allocated and arranged. An input display device that displays the function name, displays icons, displays various messages, and senses touch operations with a finger or the like and inputs an operation signal according to the touch operation. is there.

  The display unit 7a is, for example, a display unit using liquid crystal, but may be a display unit using organic EL (Electro Luminescence). The touch panel 7b employs, for example, a capacitance method or a resistance film method. As a type of a touch operation on the touch panel 7b, the control unit 1 includes a tap operation of touching an arbitrary position and immediately releasing the same, and a contact operation. Touch gestures, such as a flick operation to release immediately after moving (punch), and a pinch operation to change the interval while touching a plurality of fingers, are detected. The control unit 1 detects a coordinate position (contact position), a contact direction, a contact distance, and a contact time on the touch panel 7b based on a contact presence / absence signal from the touch panel 7b to determine whether or not a touch operation is performed, a type of the touch operation, and an operation content. Is determined. Note that the above-mentioned touch operation is not limited to a contact operation of directly touching a finger or a pen, but may be an operation similar to the contact operation, for example, a change in capacitance due to approach or movement of a finger or pen, or brightness. This means that a proximity operation for detecting the position of a finger or a pen according to a change or the like is included.

  The inclination detection unit 8 has an acceleration sensor that detects the posture (inclination) of the smartphone, and is a piezoresistive sensor or an electrostatic capacitance detection sensor that detects acceleration applied to a housing constituting the smartphone, and is orthogonal to each other. By detecting a rotation angle about three axes (X axis, Y axis, Z axis) as rotation axes, an inclination angle with respect to the direction of gravity is detected as a posture of the smartphone, and acceleration components of X axis, Y axis, and Z axis are detected. And the larger one is detected as the direction of the inclination. In this case, the entire smartphone is a rectangular housing, the short side of the housing is in the X-axis direction, the long side of the housing is in the X-axis direction, and the thickness direction of the housing is in the Z-axis direction. And

  The tilt detection unit 8 detects that the housing is horizontal (touch) when the user is holding the rectangular housing vertically long, that is, in a state where the short side direction (X-axis direction) of the housing is the left-right direction. When the screen 7 is in a horizontal state), the entire housing is tilted leftward so that the left end of the housing is directed downward and the right end is directed upward, or the right end of the housing is directed downward and the left end is directed upward. When the entire housing is tilted rightward so as to face, that is, when the housing is rotated with the Y axis as the rotation axis, the left / right direction (X axis direction) is detected as the tilt direction and the Y axis is set as the rotation axis. Is detected. Further, in a state where the user is holding the rectangular housing horizontally long, that is, in a state where the long side direction (Y-axis direction) of the housing is the left-right direction, the housing is tilted leftward or rightward. In this case, that is, when the rotation is performed with the X axis as the rotation axis, the left / right direction (Y axis direction) is detected as the tilt direction, and the rotation angle (tilt angle) with the X axis as the rotation axis is detected.

  The control unit 1 compares the detection result of the current tilt (the tilt angle and the tilt direction) acquired from the tilt detection unit 8 with reference tilt information (which will be described later) which is set in advance, and thereby controls the housing of the smartphone. Detect body tilt. Here, the tilt of the housing, which will be described in detail later, indicates a change amount (angle) of the tilt and a direction of the tilt change at the moment when the user intentionally tilts the housing. As described above, in the present embodiment, the inclination of the housing in the left-right direction is detected based on the detection result of the inclination acquired from the inclination detection unit 8. However, the present invention is not limited to this. May be detected. That is, when the rectangular housing is vertically held, the inclination in the long side direction (front-back direction) of the housing is detected, and when the rectangular housing is horizontally held, the housing is detected. May be detected in the short side direction (front-back direction).

In the present embodiment, when the user grips and operates the smartphone, for example, it is assumed that the user may lie down or lie down to operate the smartphone. At this time, the current inclination detection result (inclination angle and inclination direction) is acquired from the inclination detection unit 8, and the current inclination detection result and an initial inclination value (not shown) which is a reference inclination value described later. And whether or not the user intentionally tilts the housing is determined based on whether or not the difference value (the amount of change in the inclination and the direction of the change in the inclination) is equal to or greater than a predetermined value. I have. The initial tilt value is obtained by overwriting the current tilt detection result (tilt angle and tilt direction) until it is determined that the user has intentionally tilted the housing. The control unit 1 stops updating the initial value when it is determined that the user has intentionally tilted the housing. When the current inclination detection result matches the initial value within a predetermined range (substantially coincides), the control unit 1 determines that the user has intentionally restored the inclination of the housing. .
Hereinafter, “the amount of change in inclination” is referred to as “inclination amount”, and “the direction of change in inclination” is referred to as “inclination direction”.

FIG. 2 is a diagram for describing objects appearing on the screen of the display unit 7a in response to a flick operation on the touch panel 7b constituting the touch screen 7.
FIG. 2 (1) shows a case where a flick operation is performed from the right end of the screen to the center thereof in a state where the rectangular housing is vertically held, and FIG. 2 (2) shows a case where the flick operation is performed from the left end of the screen. This shows a case where a flick operation is performed in the center direction. When a flick operation is performed from the right end of the screen toward the center as shown in FIG. 2A, the control unit 1 causes a predetermined object (application menu) to be displayed on the screen, and further, FIG. When a flick operation is performed from the left end of the screen toward the center as shown in (1), a predetermined object (operation menu in the application) is displayed on the screen.

  The above-described predetermined object (application menu) is a menu for selecting an application desired by the user from among a plurality of applications as an execution target. In the illustrated example, each item (operation) is arranged in a matrix (3 × 3). ). The above-described predetermined object (operation menu in the application) is an operation menu including operators (buttons and icons) for instructing execution of a function related to the application selected as an execution target. The example shows a case where five operators are provided. Such an object (application menu or operation menu in the application) is information relating to a predetermined function (function of calling an object) operated by a predetermined flick operation on the touch panel 7b, and the flick operation is performed. This is information that is not displayed before (information that cannot be visually recognized by the user).

FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining an object that appears on the touch screen 7 in accordance with the inclination of the housing. FIG. 3 illustrates a state in which the housing is tilted to the left or right, when viewed from the bottom of the housing. And is represented by
FIG. 3A shows a case where the housing is tilted to the left while an application screen in which a predetermined application is running is displayed, and the application screen is hidden on the right side opposite to the left side of the application screen. This indicates that the object (application menu) is displayed as if a part appeared due to its own weight. FIG. 3 (2) shows a case where the housing is tilted rightward in the state where the application screen is displayed, opposite to the direction of FIG. 3 (1), and the left side of the application screen opposite to the right side. Indicates that the object (operation menu in the application) hidden in is displayed as if a part appeared by its own weight.

  When the housing is tilted, the control unit 1 detects the amount of tilt and the tilt direction (change in the left-right direction). If the change is equal to or more than a predetermined value, the user intentionally moves the housing. It is determined that the object is tilted, and a part of a predetermined object (an application menu in the case of FIG. 3A, an operation menu in the application in FIG. 3B) is temporarily displayed on the application screen. . In this case, the display amount of a part of the displayed object increases in accordance with the inclination amount of the housing.

  In the illustrated example, if the inclination amount A and the inclination amount B are smaller than the inclination amount A <the inclination amount B, the inclination amount B is controlled so that the display amount of the object is larger. For example, in the case of the change amount A, 1/4 of the entire object is displayed, and in the case of the change amount A, 1/3 of the entire object is displayed. However, it is possible to inform the user of the existence of the object and to inform the user of what kind of object the object is. That is, in addition to the existence of the object, its contents can be confirmed. In addition, as shown in the figure, the object that appears according to the inclination of the housing, a part of the object appears from the edge of the screen on the tilted side, but in what form the object is displayed, The present invention is not limited to this and is optional. Further, a part of the object is made to appear from the state where the application screen is displayed. However, the present invention is not limited to this. From the state where a screen other than the application screen (for example, an initial screen immediately after turning on the power) is displayed. A part of the object may be allowed to appear.

  Next, an operation concept of the small-sized display device (smartphone) in the first embodiment will be described with reference to flowcharts shown in FIGS. Here, each function described in these flowcharts is stored in the form of a readable program code, and operations according to the program code are sequentially executed. Further, the operation according to the above-described program code transmitted via a transmission medium such as a network can be sequentially performed. This is the same in other embodiments described later, and an operation specific to the present embodiment can be executed using a program / data externally supplied via a transmission medium in addition to a recording medium.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the smartphone (characteristic operation of the present embodiment) which is started to be executed when the power is turned on.
First, after executing an initialization process (step A1) for clearing a memory or the like in response to a power-on operation, the control unit 1 checks whether a touch operation has been performed on the touch screen 7 (step A2), or presses a button. It is checked whether a power-off operation has been performed by operating the power button of the button operation unit 5 (step A4). Now, if the power-off operation is performed (YES in step A4), the process exits from the flow of FIG. 4. If a touch operation is performed (YES in step A2), a process corresponding to the touch operation (step A3). Move to).

FIG. 5 is a flowchart for explaining in detail the processing (step A3 in FIG. 4) according to the touch operation.
First, when detecting a touch operation on the touch screen 7, the control unit 1 checks whether the touch operation is a flick operation (step B1). If the touch operation is a flick operation (YES in step B1), furthermore, It is checked whether the operation is a flick operation from the right end of the screen of the touch screen 7 toward the center (step B2). Here, if it is a flick operation from the right end of the screen toward the center (YES in step B2), a predetermined object (application menu) is displayed as shown in FIG. 2A (step B3). Here, the application menu can be displayed no matter what screen is displayed.

  When a flick operation is performed from the left edge of the screen toward the center as shown in FIG. 2B (YES in step B4), whether an application having an operation menu is being activated, that is, the operation menu is It is checked whether a displayable application screen is being displayed (step B5). If an operation menu is not being displayed (NO in step B5), the process proceeds to a process corresponding to a touch operation (step B7). If the application screen is being displayed (YES in step B5), a predetermined object (operation menu in the application) is displayed on the application screen as shown in FIG. 2B (step B6). On the other hand, if it is another touch operation (NO in step B1, NO in B2 and B4), a process corresponding to the touch operation is performed (step B7). As a process corresponding to the touch operation, for example, if the current display content is displaying a Web page, a process of jumping to a link destination by a tap operation is performed, and a flick operation from the left end of the screen to the center direction is also performed. If it is not a flick operation other than the flick operation from the right end to the center, display scroll processing is performed.

  When the process corresponding to the touch operation (step A3 in FIG. 4) is completed, the process returns to step A2. Here, if any touch operation or power-off operation is not performed (NO in steps A2 and A4), the process proceeds to step A5 to check whether a tilt flag described later is turned on. If it has been performed (NO in step A5), it is checked whether it is the inclination acquisition timing (0.3 second interval) (step A6), and if it is not the inclination acquisition timing (0.3 second interval) (NO in step A6). Then, the process returns to the above-described step A2, and thereafter, the above-described operation is repeated.

  Here, if the inclination acquisition timing (0.3 second interval) (YES in step A6), the inclination detection result (inclination angle and inclination direction) is acquired from the inclination detection unit 8 (step A7), and the inclination is obtained. It is checked whether the direction is a predetermined direction (left-right direction in the present embodiment) effective for object display (step A8). Now, if the tilt direction is not the predetermined direction (left-right direction) (NO in step A8), for example, if it is the front-back direction, the process returns to step A2 to ignore the result of the current tilt detection.

  If the direction is the predetermined direction (the left-right direction) (YES in step A8), the current time acquired from the inclination detection unit 8 to check whether the inclination of the housing is large within 0.3 seconds of the inclination acquisition timing. A difference value (amount of inclination) between the inclination detection result (inclination angle and inclination direction) and the above-described inclination initial value (inclination angle and inclination direction) is calculated (step A9), and the difference value is a predetermined value (for example, “ It is checked whether it is 5 ° ") or more (step A10). For example, if the current inclination detection result is an inclination of “10 ° to the right (plus direction)” and the initial inclination is “5 ° to the left (minus direction)”, the difference value is “right ( In the plus direction), the angle is 15 °, which is more than the predetermined value “5 °”.

  If the difference value is less than the predetermined value, that is, if there is no large difference between the previous and current inclination detection results (NO in step A10), the initial inclination value (not shown) is updated based on the current inclination detection result. Processing is performed (step A12). In this case, the initial value is updated by overwriting the current inclination detection result with the initial inclination value (not shown). Thereafter, the flow returns to step A2. If the difference value is equal to or greater than a predetermined value, that is, if there is a large difference between the previous and current tilt detection results (YES in step A10), it is determined that the user has intentionally tilted the housing, and the tilt direction ( The right or left direction is temporarily stored in the work memory 3b, and the tilt flag is turned on (step A11). In this case, step A12 (the process of updating the initial value of the inclination) is skipped. That is, when the difference value is equal to or more than the predetermined value, it is determined that the user has intentionally tilted the housing, and the updating of the initial value is stopped, and the tilt flag is turned on. Thereafter, the flow returns to step A2.

  Then, when it is detected that the tilt flag is turned on (YES in step A5), it is determined whether or not the tilt obtaining timing (0.1 second interval) is faster than the normal tilt obtaining timing (0.3 second interval). Investigation (step A13), if it is not the high-speed inclination acquisition timing (NO in step A13), the process returns to step A2. If it is the high-speed inclination acquisition timing (YES in step A13), the inclination detection unit 8 detects the inclination. Is acquired (step A14), the process corresponding to the inclination (step A15) is executed, and the process returns to step A2.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart for explaining the processing according to the inclination (step A15 in FIG. 4) in detail.
First, the control unit 1 checks whether the inclination direction is a predetermined direction (left and right direction in the present embodiment) effective for displaying an object based on the detection result of the inclination acquired from the inclination detection unit 8 (step S <b> 1). C1) If it is not the predetermined direction (left / right direction) (NO in step C2), for example, if it is the forward / backward direction, the process exits from the flow of FIG. 6, but if it is the predetermined direction (left / right direction) (step C1). YES), the inclination detection result of the current detection is compared with the initial value of the inclination (step C2), and whether the initial value matches within a predetermined range (approximately matches), that is, the housing is intentionally intended by the user. It is checked whether or not the inclination has been restored (step C3).

Here, if the current inclination detection result does not match the initial value within a predetermined range (NO in step C3), it is determined that the user has not returned the inclination of the housing, and the process proceeds to step C4. The difference value between the detection result of the inclination and the initial inclination value (not shown) is calculated (detected). Then, it is checked whether the inclination direction is the temporarily stored direction and the amount of change is equal to or more than a predetermined value (step C5). If the inclination direction is equal to or more than the predetermined value in the temporarily stored direction (step C5) YES), a part of a predetermined object (application menu) is displayed on the touch screen 7 in accordance with the amount of tilt (step C6). For example, if the temporarily stored direction is the right direction, a part of the application menu is superimposed on the application screen and temporarily displayed as shown in FIG. 3A, and the temporarily stored direction is the left direction. If so, as shown in FIG. 3 (2), a part of the operation menu in the application is superimposed on the application screen and temporarily displayed. At this time, the display amount of the application menu or the operation menu increases as the inclination amount increases. If the inclination is not equal to or more than the predetermined value in the temporarily stored direction (NO in step C5), the process exits from the flow of FIG.
Error! Bookmark is not defined.
On the other hand, if the detection result of the current inclination matches the initial value within a predetermined range (YES in step C3), it is determined that the user has restored the inclination of the housing, and the process proceeds to step C7 to temporarily The stored inclination direction is deleted, and the above-mentioned inclination flag is turned off, thereby returning the initial value update to a state where it can be restarted. Then, after performing processing (step C8) for deleting the object superimposed on the touch screen 7 and temporarily displayed, that is, the application menu or the operation menu, the process exits from the flow of FIG.

  As described above, in the first embodiment, the control unit 1 detects a predetermined tilt of the housing based on the detection result of the tilt obtained from the tilt detection unit 8 and performs a touch operation on the touch screen 7 ( For example, an object related to a predetermined function that is operated by a flick operation) and is not visible to the user before the touch operation is performed is displayed on the touch screen 7, so that the object is displayed before the touch operation is performed. The user can easily confirm even an object that cannot be visually recognized by the user without performing a touch operation.

  The control unit 1 returns the display to the previous display when the display returns to the tilt (initial value) before the detection of the predetermined tilt. Therefore, the user confirms the object only while tilting the housing. Then, it is possible to return to the state before confirmation without changing the state.

  The control unit 1 controls the display of the object to be different according to the detected tilt amount, so that the display of the object can be changed according to the tilt amount of the housing, and the usability can be improved. it can.

  Since the control unit 1 controls the amount of the object to be different depending on the detected amount of inclination, the display amount of the object can be changed as necessary.

  The control unit 1 detects the tilt direction and controls the display of the object to be different according to the tilt direction. Therefore, the display of the object can be changed according to the tilt direction, thereby improving the usability. Can be.

  Since the control unit 1 displays different objects according to the tilt direction, the user can confirm objects having different contents only by tilting the housing.

  The function operated by the touch operation is a function of calling an object that cannot be visually recognized by the user before the touch operation is performed. The control unit 1 calls and displays the object in response to detection of a change in the inclination of the housing. Thus, the user can check, for example, the application menu and the operation menu in the application only by tilting the housing.

  Since the control unit 1 displays a part of the object in response to the detection of the change in the inclination, the user can easily confirm that the object exists.

  In the above-described first embodiment, the display amount of the object is changed according to the amount of inclination (angle). However, if the display position, the display size, and the like of the object are changed, the user is not required. By simply changing the inclination of the housing, it is possible to obtain a form in which object display is desired.

  In the first embodiment described above, different objects are displayed according to the tilt direction. However, the same object may be displayed differently according to the tilt direction. For example, for the same object, the right side of the object may be displayed from the left end of the screen, or the left side of the right end object of the screen may be displayed according to the tilt direction.

  In the above-described first embodiment, the case where it is not known whether or not there is an object that can be called is illustrated because the object is completely hidden and the user cannot see the object at all, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a portion such as an end portion of an object is displayed, and it can be understood that there is an object that can be called, but the present invention can also be applied to a case where the contents of the object cannot be visually recognized. Also in this case, the amount and type of information to be displayed may be changed according to the amount of tilt and the direction of change. That is, when a predetermined tilt of the housing is detected based on the detection result of the tilt obtained from the tilt detection unit 8, the function is related to a predetermined function operated by a touch operation (for example, a flick operation) on the touch screen 7. By displaying on the touch screen 7 an object which is an object and whose contents cannot be visually recognized by the user before the touch operation is performed, an object whose contents cannot be visually recognized by the user before the touch operation is performed. However, the contents can be easily confirmed without performing a touch operation.

(2nd Embodiment)
Hereinafter, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
Note that the first embodiment described above shows a case where the function operated by a touch operation is applied to a function of calling an object that cannot be visually recognized by the user before the touch operation is performed, and a change in the inclination of the housing is detected. In response to this, an object (for example, an application menu or an operation menu in the application) is called up and temporarily displayed, but in the second embodiment, a plurality of functions operated by a touch operation are provided. When applied to the image feed function that switches and displays still images that are sequentially designated according to a predetermined order for each touch operation from among the still images, changes in the inclination of the housing are detected when the still images are displayed The number of still images that can be moved forward or backward is displayed temporarily according to the It is intended. Here, in the two embodiments, those that are basically or the same in name are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted, and the following description will focus on the features of the second embodiment. .

FIGS. 7A and 7B show a case where a flick operation is performed in a state where a still image is displayed on the touch screen 7 and a still image is switched and displayed by image feed according to the flick operation. FIG.
As shown in FIG. 7A, in a state where one of the still images n arranged in a predetermined arrangement order (such as date and time) is displayed on the touch screen 7, as shown in FIG. When a flick operation to the left is performed, the image is switched to the next still image n + 1 by image forwarding in the forward direction, and when a flick operation to the right is performed as shown in FIG. The image is switched to the previous still image n-1 and displayed by feeding the image in the reverse direction.

FIG. 7C is a diagram illustrating a state in which the number of images that can be fed is displayed according to the inclination of the housing in a state where a still image is displayed on the touch screen 7. The tilted state is shown by the side and the front as viewed from the bottom of the housing.
In the example shown in the figure, when the still image n is displayed on the touch screen 7, when the housing is tilted rightward, the image is hidden in the opposite side to the forward direction, and the image is forwarded in the forward direction. The number of still images that can be displayed (7 in the example shown) is displayed as a numerical value as if a part of the still image appeared due to its own weight, and when it was tilted to the left of the housing, it was turned to the opposite side to the opposite direction. In the illustrated example, the number (5 in the illustrated example) of the number of hidden still images that can be image-forwarded in the opposite direction is displayed as if a part of the still image appeared under its own weight. An icon indicating that an image exists in the image feed direction is also displayed together with this number display.

FIG. 8 is a flowchart for describing in detail the processing (step A3 in FIG. 4) according to the touch operation in the second embodiment.
First, when detecting a touch operation, the control unit 1 checks whether the touch operation is a flick operation (step D1). If the touch operation is a flick operation (YES in step D1), a still image is displayed on the touch screen 7. It is checked whether it is displayed (step D2). Here, if the flick operation performed while the still image is being displayed is a flick operation to the left (YES in step D3), the image is forwarded in the forward direction of the image array and the next still image is displayed. Calling (step D4), this still image is switched and displayed on the touch screen 7 (step D7).

  If the flick operation is to the right (YES in step D5), the image is forwarded in the reverse direction of the image arrangement to call the previous still image (step D6), and this still image is displayed on the touch screen 7. (Step D7). On the other hand, if the touch operation is other than the flick operation (NO in step D1), if the still image is not displayed even if the flick operation is performed (NO in step D2), the flick in the left and right direction is performed even if the flick operation is performed. If it is not an operation (NO in steps D3 and D5), a process corresponding to the touch operation is performed (step D8). For example, a process of reducing or enlarging a still image according to a pinch operation is performed. Thereafter, the process exits from the flow of FIG.

FIG. 9 is a flowchart for explaining in detail the processing (step A15 in FIG. 4) according to the inclination in the second embodiment.
First, similarly to steps C1 to C3 in FIG. 6, the control unit 1 checks whether the inclination direction of the housing is a predetermined direction effective for displaying information (left and right in the present embodiment) (step E1). If it is not the predetermined direction (left-right direction) (NO in step E1), the process exits from the flow of FIG. 9, but if it is the predetermined direction (left-right direction) (YES in step E1), the inclination of the present detection and the inclination The initial value is compared with the initial value (step E2), and it is checked whether the initial value matches within a predetermined range (substantially matches), that is, whether the inclination of the housing has been returned to the original intention by the user (step E3). .

  Here, if the current inclination detection result does not match the initial value within a predetermined range (NO in step E3), it is determined that the user has not restored the inclination of the housing, and the process proceeds to step E4. A difference value between the detection result of the inclination and the above-described inclination initial value (not shown) is calculated (detected). Then, it is checked whether the tilt direction is the direction temporarily stored and the amount of change is equal to or greater than a predetermined value (step E5). If the inclination is equal to or more than the predetermined value in the temporarily stored direction (YES in step E5), the number of still images that can be fed in the direction of the image arrangement corresponding to the inclination direction is counted (step E6). As shown in FIG. 7 (3), if the tilt is to the right, the number of still images that can be moved in the forward direction is superimposed with the icon indicating the image is moved in the forward direction. If it is tilted to the left, the number of still images for which image feeding in the reverse direction is possible is superimposed together with an icon indicating image feeding in the reverse direction, and the numerical value is temporarily displayed (step E7).

  On the other hand, if the inclination detected this time matches the initial value within a predetermined range (YES in step E3), it is determined that the user has restored the inclination of the housing, and the process proceeds to step E8 where the inclination is temporarily stored. By clearing the tilt direction and turning off the tilt flag, it becomes possible to restart the initial value update. Then, after the icon indicating the image feed direction displayed on the touch screen 7 and the display of the number of still images for which image feed is possible are deleted (step E9), the process exits from the flow of FIG.

  As described above, in the second embodiment, when a still image is displayed on the touch screen 7, the control unit 1 determines the number of still images that can be sent by the image sending function by changing the inclination of the housing. Since the image is displayed on the touch screen 7 in response to the detection, the user can know the number of images that can be fed by simply tilting the housing.

  The control unit 1 displays the number of still images to which a plurality of images can be transmitted in the forward direction or the number of still images to which the plurality of images can be transmitted in the reverse direction according to the tilt direction. In this case, it is possible to know the number of images that can be sent in the forward direction or the reverse direction only by changing the tilt direction.

  In the above-described second embodiment, the number of still images is displayed by tilting the housing in the left-right direction. However, by further tilting the housing in the front-rear direction, for example, the still image being displayed is displayed. (Information such as shooting date and time, shooting location) may be displayed. This makes it possible to further enhance convenience.

  In the above-described second embodiment, the number of still images that can be image-forwarded is numerically displayed. However, the number of still images is displayed in a level display, graphic display, icon size, or the like other than the numerical value. It may be.

(Third embodiment)
Hereinafter, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
In the above-described second embodiment, the function operated by the touch operation is applied to an image feed function of switching and displaying a still image sequentially designated according to a predetermined order for each touch operation from a plurality of still images. In this case, the number of still images that can be fed is temporarily displayed in response to the detection of a change in the inclination of the housing while the still images are displayed. In the embodiment, the image feed function is applied to a reproduction control function of a moving image such as reproduction, fast forward and rewind, and the detection of a change in the inclination of the housing when the moving image is reproduced. Accordingly, the remaining time of a moving image that can be moved forward or backward is temporarily displayed. Here, in the first and third embodiments, those which are basically or the same in name are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted. Hereinafter, the description will be focused on the characteristic portions of the third embodiment. It shall be.

FIGS. 10A and 10B show that when a flick operation is performed in a state where a moving image is displayed on the touch screen 7, the image is moved in accordance with the flick operation to fast-forward or move the moving image. FIG. 9 is a diagram showing a state of rewind display.
When a flick operation to the left is performed as shown in FIG. 10A during the reproduction in which the moving image is displayed on the touch screen 7, the control unit 1 fast-forwards the moving image on the touch screen 7. Playback is performed (high-speed playback is performed in the forward direction), and when a flick operation is performed to the right as shown in FIG. 10B, rewind playback of the moving image is performed on the touch screen 7 ( Perform high-speed playback in the reverse direction).

FIG. 10 (3) is a diagram illustrating a state in which the remaining time of a moving image in which the image can be fed according to the inclination of the housing is displayed in a state where the moving image is displayed on the touch screen 7.
In the example shown in the figure, when the moving image is displayed on the touch screen 7, when the housing is tilted rightward, the reproduction of the moving image is paused, and the moving image is hidden on the opposite side to the forward direction. The remaining time (5 minutes and 19 seconds in the illustrated example) is numerically displayed so that a part of the moving image, which can be forwarded in the forward direction, appears under its own weight, and is tilted to the left of the housing. In this case, the playback of the moving image is paused, and the moving image that is hidden on the opposite side to the opposite direction and that can be moved in the opposite direction is displayed as a part of its own weight as the remaining time (shown in FIG. In the example, (3:25) is numerically displayed.

FIG. 11 is a flowchart for explaining in detail the processing (step A3 in FIG. 4) according to the touch operation in the third embodiment.
First, the control unit 1 checks whether or not a moving image is being displayed on the touch screen 7 (step F1). If the moving image is not being played (NO in step F1), other touch operations are performed. After performing the processing (step F2) corresponding to (1), the processing exits from the flow of FIG. If the operation is a touch operation during reproduction of a moving image (YES in step F1), the type of the touch operation is a tap operation (step F3), a flick operation (step F4), or a pinch-in operation. Is checked (step F5). If it is another touch operation (NO in step F5), the process proceeds to another touch operation (step F2).

  If the tap operation is performed during the reproduction of the moving image (YES in step F3), it is checked whether fast-forward or rewind reproduction is being performed (step F6). (NO in F6), the reproduction of the moving image is paused (step F7), but if fast-forward or rewind reproduction is being performed (YES in step F6), fast-forward or rewind is canceled and normal moving image reproduction is resumed. (Step F8). Thereafter, the process exits from the flow of FIG. If a flick operation is performed during reproduction of a moving image (YES in step F4), it is determined whether the operation is a left flick operation (step F9) or a right flick operation (step F9). Step F11).

  Now, if the flick operation is to the left as shown in FIG. 10 (1) (YES in step F9), the moving image is fast-forward reproduced at 3 × speed (step F10), and as shown in FIG. 10 (2). If the flick operation is to the right (YES in step F11), the moving image is rewound and played back at triple speed (step F12). If it is not a flick operation in the left-right direction (NO in steps F9 and F11), the process proceeds to a process corresponding to another touch operation (step F2). If the operation is a pinch-in operation (YES in step F5), the reproduction of the moving image is terminated (step F13). Thereafter, the process exits from the flow of FIG.

FIG. 12 is a flowchart for explaining in detail the processing (step A15 in FIG. 4) according to the inclination in the third embodiment.
First, similarly to steps C1 to C3 in FIG. 6, the control unit 1 checks whether the tilt direction is a predetermined direction (left and right in the present embodiment) effective for information display (step G1). If it is not the direction (horizontal direction) (NO in step G1), the process exits from the flow of FIG. 12, but if it is in the predetermined direction (horizontal direction) (YES in step G1), the current inclination detection result and the initial The value is compared with the initial value (step E2), and it is checked whether the initial value matches within a predetermined range (approximately matches), that is, whether the inclination of the housing is intended to be restored by the user (step G3).

  Here, if the current inclination detection result does not match the initial value within a predetermined range (NO in step G3), it is determined that the user has not restored the inclination of the housing, and the process proceeds to step G4. A difference value between the detection result of the inclination and the above-described inclination initial value (not shown) is calculated (detected). Then, it is checked whether the inclination direction is the direction temporarily stored and the change amount is equal to or more than a predetermined value (step G5). If the inclination is equal to or more than the predetermined value in the direction temporarily stored (YES in step G5), the remaining time of the moving image in which the image can be fed according to the inclination direction is counted (step G6), and FIG. If the tilt is to the right as shown in (3), an icon indicating the image feed in the forward direction is superimposed on the icon indicating the image feed in the forward direction, and the remaining time of the moving image in which the image feed in the forward direction is possible is superimposed and numerically displayed temporarily. If it is tilted to the left, the remaining time of the moving image in which the image can be sent in the reverse direction is superimposed together with the icon indicating the image sending in the reverse direction, and the numerical value is temporarily displayed (step G7).

On the other hand, when the inclination detected this time matches the initial value within a predetermined range (YES in step G3), it is determined that the user has restored the inclination of the housing, and the process proceeds to step G9 where the inclination is temporarily stored. By clearing the tilt direction and turning off the tilt flag, it becomes possible to restart the initial value update. Then, after the icon indicating the image feed direction displayed on the touch screen 7 and the display of the remaining time of the moving image in which the image feed is possible are deleted (step G10), the process exits from the flow of FIG.

  As described above, in the third embodiment, the control unit 1 determines the remaining time of a moving image that can be sent by the image sending function during playback in which the moving image is displayed on the touch screen 7. Since the display is performed on the touch screen 7 in response to the detection of the inclination, the user can know the remaining time of the moving image in which the image can be sent only by tilting the housing.

The control unit 1 determines the remaining time of a moving image in which image forwarding in a forward direction such as fast-forwarding is possible or the remaining time of a moving image in which image forwarding in a reverse direction such as rewinding is possible according to the tilt direction of the housing. Since the display is performed, the user can know the remaining time in the forward or reverse direction only by changing the tilt direction of the housing.
The image feed is not limited to fast forward and rewind, but may be slow reproduction, frame feed, or the like.

  In the above-described third embodiment, the remaining time of the moving image is displayed according to the detection of the inclination of the housing. Two thresholds (first and second thresholds) are set, and when the two thresholds have a relationship of first threshold <second threshold, when the amount of inclination exceeds the first threshold, The remaining time of the moving image is displayed. When the remaining time exceeds the second threshold value, the moving image (file) group is different from the moving image being reproduced, and the moving image group is arranged in the forward direction or the backward direction. May be controlled to display the number of moving images existing in the.

  In the above-described third embodiment, the remaining time of the moving image is displayed by tilting the housing in the left-right direction. However, by further tilting the housing in the front-rear direction, for example, the moving image being reproduced can be displayed. Information on the image (shooting date and time, shooting location, etc.) may be displayed. This makes it possible to further enhance convenience.

  In the above-described third embodiment, the remaining time of the moving image is numerically displayed. However, the remaining time of the moving image is displayed by level display, graphic display, icon size, etc. other than the numerical display. Is also good.
