Description

  The present invention relates to an image display device including a display unit capable of displaying an image.

  2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, a device that displays content by using an image display device that can be touched has been known. In these devices, for example, by placing the image display device in a flat state, each user displays an image based on a plurality of contents and is used in a presentation, a meeting, a business negotiation, or the like.

  Here, most of the images (contents) that are normally used by the user are facing their own direction. Here, there are cases where the user wants another user to use the image that he/she used. In such a case, it is necessary for the user who receives the image to change the orientation of the image by moving the image to the other party.

  Therefore, an invention has been disclosed in which an image used by the user is moved to an area occupied by the opponent by a drag operation or the like, and is rotated and displayed when the image enters the area occupied by the opponent (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

  The image display device of the present invention will be described below. It should be noted that each embodiment is described for convenience of explaining the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.

[1. First Embodiment]
[1.1 Overall configuration]
First, the first embodiment will be described. FIG. 1 is a diagram for explaining the whole when the image display device according to the present embodiment is applied to a display device capable of detecting a large touch operation. 1A illustrates the appearance of the image display device 10, and FIG. 1B illustrates the display area.

  The image display device 10 has a configuration capable of displaying an image based on the content in the entire display region R10. One or a plurality of images P can be displayed, and the image P is displayed at an arbitrary position in the display region R10 or displayed in an aligned manner. Also, the size can be changed.

  These images are images based on contents, and if they are image files such as JPG files, PNG files, and GIF files, they are displayed as they are. In the case of other contents, the image corresponding to the contents is displayed. For example, in the case of moving image content, the thumbnail image in the moving image content may be displayed, or may be displayed while the moving image content is being reproduced. In the case of WEB content, the content of any page may be displayed, or the page may be displayed as an image. In the case of a document file used in PDF (Portable Document Format), word processing software, spreadsheet software, etc., the content of any page may be displayed, or an icon indicating the type of content may be displayed. May be Further, in the case of a text file, a voice file, etc., an icon indicating the type of content may be displayed.

  That is, the image in the present embodiment is associated with the content, and the user selects the image to select the content corresponding to the image. As a result, various operations such as moving, selecting, displaying, changing attributes, and deleting the content file can be performed.

  Further, the image includes a file name and a content indicating the content by characters. That is, for example, the file name may be displayed as an image so that the user can select it. At this time, whether it is text data (character data) or image data (graphic data) is merely a difference in display method, and either one may be used.

  Here, the display area in the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 1B is an enlarged view of the display area R10. Here, for the sake of convenience, the display region is horizontally long, and the four sides of the display region R10 are expressed as an upper side, a right side, a lower side, and a left side as shown in the drawing.

The end of the display area is called the end area. For example, when the display unit can display at FHD (Full High Definition) resolution, the coordinates of the display area are (0, 0)-(1919, 1079). At this time, the coordinates of the end area are
The left end is (0,0)-(0,1079)
The right end is (1919,0)-(1919,1079)
The upper end is (0,0)-(1919,0)
The lower end is (0,1079)-(1919,1079)
It becomes the coordinates of. This position is called an edge area of the display unit (display area).

  It should be noted that there may be some width as in the end region T10 shown in FIG. For example, the end region may be within a range of ±5 pixels.

  Images can be freely arranged in the display region R10. For example, the image P10 in FIG. 1B is displayed in the center of the display area. here. An alignment display area can be set in association with each end. The images in the aligned display area are aligned and displayed on a substantially straight line.

  For example, the region R12 is the aligned display region in FIG. The images displayed in this aligned display area are aligned and displayed in the area.

  The images that are aligned and displayed are images that belong to the same group. For example, images belonging to the large group are aligned and displayed in the area R12, and images belonging to the second group are aligned and displayed in the area R14.

[1.2 Functional configuration]
Subsequently, the functional configuration of the display device 10 according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 2, the display device 10 includes a control unit 100, a display unit 110, a touch detection unit 120, an operation determination unit 130, an image processing unit 140, and a storage unit 150.

  The control unit 100 is a functional unit for controlling the entire display device 10. The control unit 100 realizes various functions by reading and executing various programs stored in the storage unit 150, and is configured by, for example, a CPU (Central Processing Unit) or the like.

  The display unit 110 is a functional unit that displays content and images based on the content. For example, it is configured by an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display), an organic EL display (OELD: Organic Electroluminescence Display), or the like.

  The touch detection unit 120 is a functional unit that detects a touch position and a touch operation performed by the user. For example, by stacking the touch detection unit 120 on the display unit 110, a touch panel is formed. The touched position can be detected at a plurality of points, and the touch method may be any of a capacitance method, a resistance film method, and an infrared method.

  The operation determination unit 130 is a functional unit that determines the user's operation from the touch state detected by the touch detection unit 120. For example, a touch (tap) operation, a slide operation, a swipe operation, a pinch-in/pinch-out operation can be detected. Further, by displaying the software key on the display unit, it is possible to perform an operation by key input.

  The image processing unit 140 is a functional unit that performs various types of image processing. For example, the content is played back, or an image is generated from the content. Further, the displayed image is moved and displayed, enlarged/reduced, or rotated based on the detected operation.

  The storage unit 150 is a functional unit that stores various programs and various data necessary for the operation of the display device 10. The storage unit 150 is composed of, for example, a semiconductor memory, an HDD (Hard Disk Drive), or the like.

  In addition, a content/image storage area 152 is secured in the storage unit 150, and an alignment image table 154, image layout information 156, an image movement display program 158, and an edge arrival program 160 are stored. There is.

  The content/image storage area 152 stores content and images based on the content. As described above, what is displayed on the display unit 110 such as an image, an icon, and a text indicating the content is stored in association with each other. It should be noted that in the present embodiment, an operation on an image is described for convenience of explanation, but in the case of a JPG file or the like, the content and the image may be considered to be the same. Further, in the case of a document file, an electronic book file, a music file, etc., if the file includes a thumbnail image, the thumbnail image may be used as the image of this embodiment.

  The aligned image table 154 stores the images displayed in the aligned display area. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, images A, B, C, D, E, and F are stored as the first group, and P, Q, R, S, and T are stored as the second group. .

  An alignment display area is provided for each group, and the images stored in the alignment image table are aligned and displayed. The aligned display may be displayed side by side or may be displayed so as to overlap a part of the image. Moreover, you may display in a matrix form.

  In the aligned image table 154, an aligned display area is set for each end. Thereby, for example, when there is a user at each end, the image is owned by the user. For example, when the first group of aligned display areas is assigned to the left edge area and the second group of the aligned display areas is assigned to the right edge area, an image of the person on the left side and the person on the right side is displayed. Is judged.

  The image arrangement information 156 stores information about the arrangement of the images displayed in the display area. Specifically, the position, size, orientation, etc. of the displayed image are displayed. At this time, all images may be stored, or images other than the aligned display area may be stored.

  The image movement display program 158 is a program for realizing the image movement display processing described later by being read and executed by the control unit 100. Further, the end-arrival time program 160 is a program for realizing the end-arrival time processing described later by being read and executed by the control unit 100.

[1.3 Process flow]
[1.3.1 Image movement processing]
Next, the flow of processing will be described. First, an image moving process executed when an image displayed in the display area of the display unit 110 is selected and moved and displayed will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, it is determined whether the content, that is, the image is selected (step S102). Various methods can be considered as a method for selecting an image, but in the present embodiment, it is determined that the image is selected while the user is touching. It should be noted that the determination may be performed by a tap operation, or another method such as selection by multi-touch may be used.

  Subsequently, when an operation other than the slide operation on the selected image (selected image) is detected (step S104; No), processing based on the operation is executed. If a slide operation on the selected image is detected (step S104; Yes), the slide amount is calculated (step S106). Further, the moving speed is calculated based on the speed of the slide operation (step S108).

  Then, the selected image is moved and displayed according to the moving speed (step S110). That is, the movement vector of the selected image is calculated from the slide direction, the slide amount, and the slide speed, and the selected image is moved and displayed based on the movement vector.

  Here, the process returns from step S110 and is repeatedly executed until the moving display of the moving selected image ends (step S114; No→step S110). Then, when the moving display ends, that is, when the moving amount becomes “0”, the moving display of the selected image ends (step S114; Yes→step S116).

  When the selected image reaches the edge area (step S112; Yes), the edge arrival process is executed (step S120).

  Here, it will be described that the selected image reaches the end region. As described with reference to FIG. 1B, the edge means the boundary of the display unit (display area). In some cases, this may be indicated on the boundary of the panel of the display unit 110, or may be indicated on the boundary of a predetermined display area provided in the display unit 110.

  In this embodiment, there are four end portions on the upper, lower, left and right sides. A region including this end is called an end region. Usually, it means the end portion, and for example, in the case of the upper end portion, it means (0,0)−(1919,0) when the display area has the FHD resolution. However, it means that the area is included, and it may be in the vicinity. For example, the end may be determined even at a location such as (100, 2) or (300, -5).

  Further, that the image has reached the edge means that the image has reached the boundary. Various methods can be considered as the determination at this time. For example, it may be when any part of the image reaches the edge region (when the X coordinate is “0” for the left edge region) or the center of the image. It may be even when the coordinates reach the end area.

  That is, it means a state where the image hits the edge, and any process may be performed as collision determination (hit determination) between the image and the edge (boundary).

[1.3.2 Processing when reaching the end]
Next, the processing when the end portion is reached will be described based on FIG. First, the aligned display area is determined corresponding to the edge area where the image has reached (step S152). Normally, the aligned display area secured at the position closest to the end area is determined.

  Subsequently, the display position is determined (step S154). Images may already be displayed in the aligned display area. Therefore, when the image is displayed, the position where the new selected image is displayed is determined. In the case of the present embodiment, the position is displayed so that the selected image is added to the end of the images that are aligned and displayed. Specifically, when they are aligned and displayed in one line, they are positions where a part of them are superimposed and displayed on the right side. If there are few images that are aligned and displayed, they may not be displayed in a superimposed manner, or a new image may be displayed on the left side.

  Subsequently, the lower side of the selected image is rotated and displayed so as to be on the region boundary side (edge side) (step S156), and the selected image is displayed at the determined display position (step S158). Here, the selected image is displayed so as to bounce back and rotate after reaching the end and displayed at the display position of the aligned display area. The rotation may be right rotation or left rotation, and the rotation may be one rotation or two rotations. Further, the rotation number and the rotation direction may be determined according to the distance from the reached position to the display position.

[1.4 Operation example]
An operation example of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 6A is a diagram showing a state where the user touches the image C and slides it. An aligned display area R110 and an aligned display area R120 are secured in the display area R100. Further, the aligned display area R110 is associated with the end portion T110, and the aligned display area R120 is associated with the end portion T120. The user slides the image C to the position P100 (releases the touched state).

  FIG. 6B shows a state in which the user slides in the v1 direction. In FIG. 6B, the moving display is performed in the v2 direction. In FIG. 6B, the image C is displayed at the position of P110. This image C is also being moved and displayed at this time.

  The image C reaches the end T120 beyond the aligned display area R120. An example of the screen after the arrival is shown in FIG. First, the image C moves in the v3 direction, crosses the aligned display area R120, and reaches the end T120. At this time, the display position is determined as P120. When the image C is displayed on this P120, the lower side of the image C is rotated and displayed so as to face the end T120 side and the lower side of the alignment display region R120.

  It is v4 that is rotated and displayed. The image C that has collided with the end portion T120 is displayed so as to bounce, and is rotated and moved and displayed at the position of P120.

  In addition, in this embodiment, although it is described that the rotation display is performed, another display format may be used. For example, it may be displayed on a straight line, may be displayed by bouncing from the end, or may be displayed by sliding in from the end. Alternatively, the float-in display may be performed near the arrangement area.

  Further, in this way, the image (content) stored in the aligned display area can be easily transferred to another aligned display area. For example, a person standing in the right side alignment display area R110 can send an image to a person standing in the left side alignment display area R120 by throwing (sliding) the selected image to the other party. It will be possible.

[2. Second Embodiment]
The second embodiment will be described. The second embodiment will describe an embodiment in the case where there are a plurality of organized areas for displaying a selected image.

  As shown in FIG. 7A, in the present embodiment, in the display area R200, an aligned display area R210 corresponding to the right end T210, an aligned display area R220 corresponding to the left end T220, and a lower end. The aligned display areas of the aligned display area R230 corresponding to T230 are secured respectively.

  Then, the user slides the image C in the v1 direction and the image F in the v2 direction.

  Then, the image C is moved and displayed via P200 to P220 according to the direction v3, as shown in FIG. 7B. Further, the image F is moved and displayed via P210 to P230 in accordance with the direction v4.

  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 7C, when the image C reaches the lower end T230 by moving in the v5 direction, the image C bounces and is displayed. At this time, the lower side of the image C is rotated and displayed in the v7 direction so as to be on the lower end T230 side, and aligned and displayed at the position of P240.

  When the image F reaches the left end T220 by moving in the v6 direction, the image F is rebounded and displayed. At this time, the lower side of the image F is rotated and displayed in the v8 direction so as to be on the left end T220 side, and aligned and displayed at the position of P250.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the aligned display area can be set in association with an arbitrary end portion, and the images can be aligned and displayed in the aligned display area.

[3. Third Embodiment]
A third embodiment will be described. The third embodiment is an embodiment in which the size of images is also changed at the time of alignment. In the third embodiment, the functional configuration and the flow of processing are the same as those of the first embodiment in principle, but the end arrival processing of FIG. 5 in the first embodiment is replaced by the processing of FIG.

  In the present embodiment, the processing when the end portion is reached in FIG. 8 will be mainly described. Here, the same processes as those in FIG. 5 are designated by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

  That is, steps S202 and S204 are executed before the execution of the end-of-arrival processing in FIG. Specifically, it is determined whether or not the size of the selected image currently selected by the user is a predetermined size (step S202). If the size of the selected image displayed in the display area is not the predetermined size, the size of the image is adjusted to the predetermined size (step S202; No→step S204). That is, if the size of the selected image is large, the reduced display is performed, and if it is small, the enlarged display is performed. Then, the same processing as in the first embodiment may be performed (steps S152 to S158).

  When the size of the selected image is the predetermined size, the size of the selected image is not adjusted (step S202; Yes). Here, the size of the predetermined size may have a certain range. Further, the size in one direction (for example, the vertical direction or the horizontal direction) may be a predetermined size.

  Note that steps S202 and S204 may be performed at a later stage. That is, it may be executed after step S154 or after step S156.

  A specific operation example in this case will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 9A, the image C is selected from the images displayed in the display area R300. By performing a slide operation in the v1 direction, the image C moves from the position of P300 to the position of P310 in FIG. 9B, which is the v2 direction.

  When the image C moves in the v3 direction, it reaches the end T220. Here, since the image is moved and displayed at the display position P320 so as to be included in the aligned display area, the rotational movement is displayed in the v4 direction. At this time, the size of the image C is the same as the other images displayed in the aligned display area. As described above, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to make the sizes of the images uniform by the time of alignment.

[4. Fourth Embodiment]
A fourth embodiment will be described. The fourth embodiment is an embodiment that determines where in the aligned display area the selected image is to be displayed, depending on the position of the edge where the selected image has reached. In the fourth embodiment, the functional configuration and the processing flow are the same as those of the first embodiment in principle, but the end-arrival-time processing of FIG. 5 in the first embodiment is replaced with the processing of FIG. 10.

  In the present embodiment, the processing when the end portion is reached in FIG. 10 will be mainly described. Here, the same processes as those in FIG. 5 are designated by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

  That is, step S154 of the processing when the end portion is reached in FIG. 5 is replaced with steps S302 to S306. When the selected image reaches the end, the aligned display area is determined (step S152).

  Here, it is determined whether or not the position when the selected image reaches the end is the first area (step S302). Here, the first region refers to, for example, the left side from the center of the aligned display region when viewed from the end side. The second area is, for example, the area from the center to the right of the aligned display area when viewed from the end side.

  When the selected image reaches the edge, if the reached edge is the first area, the display position is determined on the left side of the aligned display area (step S302; Yes→step S304). At this time, when the images in the aligned display area are displayed in an overlapping manner, they are displayed on the lower side. This is realized by adding the selected image to the beginning of the aligned image table.

  If the reaching end is the second area, the display position is determined on the right side of the aligned display area (step S302; No → step S306). At this time, when the images in the aligned display area are displayed in a superimposed manner, they are displayed on the upper side. This is realized by adding the selected image to the end of the aligned image table.

  An operation example of this embodiment will be described based on FIG. 11. In FIG. 11A, the image C is selected and is slid by the user in the v1 direction. As a result, the image C moves in the v2 direction from the position P400, as shown in FIG. 11B, passes the position P410, and is moved and displayed toward the end.

  Here, a first region T400 and a second region T410 are set at the left end portion. If the image C, which is the selected image, reaches the first region T400, the image C is displayed at the beginning of the selected image (outside the image P). When the image C reaches the second area T410, the image C is displayed at the end of the selected image (outside the image T).

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 11C, the image C reaches the edge region of the first region T400 by moving in the v3 direction. Therefore, the image C is displayed on the left side of the alignment display region R400, that is, in front of the image P. The image C rebounded at the end moves in the v4 direction and is displayed at the position P420 in the aligned display area.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to easily specify whether the selected image is added to the beginning or the end of the images in the aligned display area at the position where the selected image bounces at the end. Is possible.

  Although the number of regions is two, the number of regions may be three or more. For example, in the case of the area set in the middle, the area may be inserted in the center, or a part of the area may be set as a non-rotated area.

[5. Fifth Embodiment]
A fifth embodiment will be described. The fifth embodiment is an embodiment that determines where in the aligned display area the selected image is to be displayed, depending on the position of the edge where the selected image has reached. The functional configuration of the fifth embodiment is substantially the same as that of the fourth embodiment.

  In steps S302 to S306 of FIG. 10, the end region corresponding to the reaching end is divided and executed, but in the present embodiment, the end region is not particularly divided and the position displayed from the reached end area is displayed. To decide.

  This embodiment will be described based on the operation example in this embodiment in FIG. In FIG. 12A, the image C is moved and displayed in the v1 direction from the position P500. Then, it reaches (collides) with the left end portion.

  Here, an image at the same position as the area (point) where the end reaches (for example, an image in which the vertical coordinates are the same in the selected area) is determined. For example, in FIG. 12A, the image R exists at the position of the line C500. Therefore, the image C is rotated and displayed in the v2 direction at P510 which is the position of the image R.

  Thus, according to this embodiment, the selected image can be displayed at an arbitrary position in the aligned display area. In addition, in the above-described embodiment, the selected image is rotated and displayed at the position of the image having the same coordinate position as the reached end portion. For example, it may be inserted at a position where the light is reflected (for example, an image located in the v1 direction with respect to the left end and in a direction in which the incident angle and the reflection angle are equal to each other).

[6. Sixth Embodiment]
A sixth embodiment will be described. The sixth embodiment is an embodiment for determining the behavior of the selected image. In the sixth embodiment, the functional configuration and the flow of processing are the same as those of the first embodiment in principle, but the image moving process of FIG. 4 in the first embodiment is replaced with the image moving process of FIG. 13. In addition, the same processing as that in FIG. 4 is denoted by the same reference numeral, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

  When a slide operation is detected for the selected image from the displayed images, the selected image is moved and displayed according to the slide amount (steps S102 to S110). Here, it is determined whether or not the selected image has reached the end area (step S112).

  When the selected image reaches the end area, it is determined whether or not to perform the alignment display (for example, the rotation display and the alignment display) (step S402). Here, in the present embodiment, the user can select "display/not display".

  Further, “performing an alignment display” includes displaying the selected image that has rebounded from the end while rotating and displaying it in the selected area. At this time, the lower side of the selected image is rotated and displayed so as to be the end side. If the selected image is displayed in the aligned display area, the rotation display may not be performed.

  In addition, "no alignment display" means that the selected image bounced from the end is moved and displayed in a different direction as it is. The bounce angle may be a predetermined angle, or may be such that the incident angle and the reflection angle are the same. At this time, the image does not rotate and has the same orientation as when the image reaches the end area (when a collision occurs). It should be noted that the rotation may be gentle or the bound may be displayed.

  Therefore, when it is set to perform the alignment display (step S402; Yes), the process when the end portion is reached is executed (step S120). On the other hand, when the alignment display is not performed (step S402; No), the moving direction of the selected image is changed (step S404) and the moving display is continued as it is (step S114; No → step S110).

  An example of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 14A is a diagram in which the image C is selected and is moving in the v1 direction. The image C is in a state of passing through the position of P600.

  At this time, the selection button B600 is "ON". That is, when the selected image reaches the end portion, the user sets to perform the alignment display. At this time, as shown in FIG. 14B, when the image C moves in the v2 direction and reaches the left end portion, the image C bounces in the v3 direction, and it is determined that the image C is displayed at the position of P602. That is, it is displayed in the aligned display area R600.

  Here, FIG. 14C shows the case where the selection button B600 is “OFF”. The image C moves in the v2 direction, reaches the end portion, and then bounces, but moves in the v4 direction as it is, and is displayed at the position of P604, for example, and ends.

  In this way, it is possible to easily switch whether or not to display the selected image in line with the aligned display area according to the selection by the user.

[7. Seventh embodiment]
The seventh embodiment will be described. The seventh embodiment is an embodiment in which the behavior of the selected image is determined similarly to the sixth embodiment, but unlike the sixth embodiment, the behavior is determined by an operation on the spot.

  That is, in the present embodiment, in step S402 of FIG. 13 of the sixth embodiment, the operation of whether or not to perform the alignment display is performed depending on whether or not there is a touch input by the user in the vicinity of the alignment display area. The behavior of whether or not to do can be determined.

  For example, while the user is touching the vicinity of the aligned display area, the vicinity of the end side where the aligned display area is associated, or a predetermined area associated with the aligned display area, the alignment display is not performed. The moving direction will be changed (step S402; No→step S404).

  An example of this embodiment is shown in FIG. When the image C is selected and slid in the v1 direction in FIG. 15A, the image C moves in the v2 direction as shown in FIG. 15B. In FIG.15(b), it has passed the position of P620 and is heading to the left end part.

  Here, the position of H622 on the left end side (or in the vicinity of the alignment display area) is touched by the hand (H620) of the user at the left end. When the touched state, the selected images are not aligned and displayed.

  In this case, even if the selected image C reaches the left end region, as shown in FIG. 15C, the moving direction is only changed from the v3 direction to the v4 direction, and the images are not displayed in alignment and displayed on P622. C moves.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to determine whether or not the selected images are to be aligned and displayed depending on the presence/absence of a touch operation by the user.

  It is needless to say that, contrary to the present embodiment, for example, when a touch operation is performed, alignment display is performed.

[8. Eighth embodiment]
The eighth embodiment will be described. The eighth embodiment is an embodiment in which the behavior of the selected image is determined similarly to the sixth embodiment. However, unlike the eighth embodiment, an embodiment in which the behavior is changed by the operation of the side sending the selected image. Is.

  That is, in the present embodiment, in step S402 in FIG. 13 of the sixth embodiment, whether or not to perform the alignment display is selected by selecting a selected image and performing a slide operation. The behavior of one can be determined.

  For example, when the user on the transmission side (selection side) selects with one finger, the display is aligned, but when the selection is performed with two fingers and the slide operation is performed, the display direction is not displayed and the moving direction is changed. (Step S402; No→Step S404).

  An example of this embodiment is shown in FIG. In FIG. 16A, the image C is selected with one finger and slid in the v2 direction, and the image F is selected with two fingers and slid in the v1 direction.

  As a result, the image F moves in the v3 direction as shown in FIG. 16B, passes through the position of P640, and heads toward the left end portion. Further, the image C moves in the v4 direction, passes through the position of P642, and heads toward the left end portion.

  Even if the selected image F reaches the left end area, as shown in FIG. 16C, the moving direction is only changed from the v5 direction to the v7 direction, and the image is not displayed in alignment and the image F is displayed on the P644. Moves.

  On the other hand, when the selected image C reaches the left end region, the selected image C is displayed so as to bounce from the v6 direction to the v8 direction, is rotated and displayed, and then is displayed in the alignment display region R640 (P646).

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to determine whether or not the selected images are to be aligned and displayed by the operation on the side that transmits (slides) the selected images.

  Various methods can be considered as the image selection operation. For example, it is conceivable to combine various methods such as a normal slide operation, a method of tapping once and then performing a slide operation, and a method of continuously touching a selected image to bring it into a second selected state and then performing a slide operation.

[9. Ninth embodiment]
The ninth embodiment will be described. The ninth embodiment is an embodiment in which the behavior of the selected image is determined similarly to the sixth embodiment, but unlike the eighth embodiment, an embodiment in which the behavior is changed by the operation of the side sending the selected image. Is.

  That is, in the present embodiment, in step S402 of FIG. 13 of the sixth embodiment, the operation of whether or not to perform the alignment display is performed according to the speed (or the movement amount) when the selected image is selected and the slide operation is performed. The behavior of whether to display or not can be determined.

  For example, when the sliding speed of the slide operation is equal to or higher than a predetermined speed, the transmitting side (selecting side) user displays the alignment display, and when the sliding speed is less than the predetermined speed, the alignment display is not performed and the moving direction is changed. It will be changed (step S402; No→step S404).

  An example of this embodiment is shown in FIG. In FIG. 17A, the image C and the image F are selected, but the sliding operation of the image C in the v2 direction is performed faster than the sliding operation of the image F in the v1 direction.

  As a result, as shown in FIG. 17B, the image F moves in the v3 direction, passes through the position P660, and heads toward the left end portion. On the other hand, the image C moving in the v4 direction passes through the position P662, which is farther from the right end than the position of the image F, toward the left end.

  Even if the selected image F reaches the left end area, as shown in FIG. 17C, the moving direction is only changed from the v5 direction to the v7 direction, and the image F is displayed in P664 without alignment display. Moves.

  On the other hand, when the selected image C reaches the left end region, the selected image C is displayed so as to bounce from the v6 direction to the v8 direction, is rotated and displayed, and then is displayed in the alignment display region R660 (P666).

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to determine whether or not the selected images are to be aligned and displayed, depending on the speed of the sliding operation on the side that transmits (slides) the selected images. This makes it possible to intuitively display the selected image in the alignment display area of the opponent.

  Although the above embodiment has been described with reference to the speed of the slide operation, the slide amount may be used. For example, if the slide amount is large, the alignment display may be performed, and if the slide amount is small, the moving direction may be changed.

[10. Tenth Embodiment]
A tenth embodiment will be described. The tenth embodiment is an embodiment in which the behavior of the selected image can be changed for each end portion. In the tenth embodiment, the functional configuration and the flow of processing are the same as those of the first embodiment in principle, but the image moving process of FIG. 4 in the first embodiment is replaced with the image moving process of FIG. 19. Further, the same processing as that in FIG. 4 is denoted by the same reference numeral, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 18, the behavior of the selected image for each end may be stored in the storage unit 150 as a behavior table 162 for each end. The behavior table 162 for each end portion stores the behavior (for example, “direction change”) of the selected image in association with the end attribute (for example, “upper end portion”). The behavior table 162 for each end may be set by the administrator/user or may be set in advance.

  The processing of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. When the selected image reaches the edge area (step S102 to step S112; Yes), it is determined whether or not the edge attribute of the edge is "alignment display".

  If the end attribute is “alignment display”, the end arrival process is executed (step S502; Yes→step S120). On the other hand, if the edge attribute is “direction change”, the moving direction of the selected image is changed (step S502; No→step S504).

  An example of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 20A, the image C and the image F are selected. The image C is slid in the v2 direction and the image F is slid in the v1 direction, and is moved and displayed in that direction.

  In FIG. 20B, the image C moves in the v4 direction and passes through P702. Further, the image F moves in the v3 direction and passes through P700. Then, as shown in FIG. 20C, the image C moves in the v6 direction and reaches the lower end region. Here, referring to the behavior table 162 for each end in FIG. 18, the behavior of the lower end is “direction change” as the end attribute. Therefore, the moving direction is changed to the v8 direction and displayed on P706.

  The image F moves in the v5 direction and reaches the left end region. Here, referring to the end-by-end behavior table 162 in FIG. 18, the behavior of the left end is "alignment display" as the end attribute. Therefore, it is displayed so as to bounce back in the v7 direction, and is displayed aligned with the alignment display area R700 (P704).

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the behavior of the selected image can be set for each end. In addition, when the above-described image C moves in the v8 direction as it is and reaches the left end region, it is displayed in alignment in the alignment display region R700.

[11. Eleventh Embodiment]
The eleventh embodiment will be described. The eleventh embodiment is an embodiment in which the direction of a selected image that has once changed direction is also changed at the next end. The eleventh embodiment has the same functional configuration and the same process flow as those of the tenth embodiment, but the image moving process of FIG. 19 in the tenth embodiment is replaced with the image moving process of FIG. In addition, the same processes as those in FIG. 19 are designated by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

  The process of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. When the selected image reaches the edge area (step S102 to step S112; Yes), it is determined whether the edge attribute of the edge is "aligned display" (step S502).

  Here, although the end attribute is the rotation display, it is determined whether or not the selected image has already been turned (step S502; Yes→step S602). If the selected image has already been changed in direction, the moving direction is changed again without executing the processing when the end portion is reached (step S602; Yes→step S504).

  An operation example in the present embodiment will be described based on FIG. In FIG. 22A, the image C is selected and is slid in the v1 direction. As a result, the image C moves in the v2 direction as shown in FIG. Here, although the lower end area is reached, since the lower end area is a “direction change” according to the end-by-end behavior table 162 of FIG. 18, it moves in the v3 direction and moves to P800. Is displayed.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 22C, when the image C moves in the v4 direction, the image C reaches the left end region. Here, the behavior corresponding to the left end area is “alignment display” when referring to the end-by-end behavior table 162 in FIG. 18, but it is a selected image whose movement direction has been changed once. Therefore, they are moved and displayed in the v5 direction without being aligned and displayed (P802).

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, unlike the tenth embodiment, an image whose moving direction is once changed has a behavior in which the moving direction is changed even when it reaches another end. ..

[12. Twelfth Embodiment]
A twelfth embodiment will be described. The twelfth embodiment is an embodiment in which a plurality of images are selected as selected images. For example, an example of the present embodiment in the case where a plurality of selected images are selected in the first embodiment will be described based on FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 23A, the user's hand H820 selects two images C and D. At this time, the slide operation is performed in the v1 direction.

  After that, as shown in FIG. 23B, the images C and D are moved and displayed in the v2 direction and the v3 direction, respectively. Then, the image C displays P820 and the image D passes and displays P822.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 23C, the image C moves in the v4 direction and reaches the left end region. Further, the image D moves in the v5 direction and reaches the left end region. Then, the image C is rotated and displayed in the v6 direction and is displayed at P824 in the alignment display area R820. Further, the image D is rotated and displayed in the v7 direction, and is displayed on P826 in the alignment display area R820.

  In this way, a plurality of images may be selected as the selected images and moved and displayed. Further, as the operation of selecting, two selected images may be selected together as in the present embodiment, or may be continuously selected by using a tap operation, a push operation, or the like.

[13. 13th Embodiment]
A thirteenth embodiment will be described. The thirteenth embodiment is an embodiment in which a plurality of aligned display areas are set at one end. For example, the case where it is applied in the first embodiment will be described.

  In the present embodiment, the alignment display area table 164 shown in FIG. 24 is stored in the storage unit 150. The aligned display area table 164 stores aligned display areas in association with end areas. For example, according to FIG. 24, a first aligned display area is stored in the upper end area, and a second aligned display area and a third aligned display area are stored in the lower end area in association with each other.

  An example of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 25A, the images C and F displayed in the first aligned display area are selected. The image C is moved and displayed by sliding the image C in the v1 direction and the image F in the v2 direction.

  Thereby, as shown in FIG. 25B, the image C is moved and displayed in the v3 direction (P852). The image F is moved and displayed in the v4 direction (P862).

  Then, as shown in FIG. 25C, the image C reaches the lower end region by moving in the v5 direction. Here, based on the alignment display area table 164, since the end is associated with the third alignment display area, it is moved/rotated in the v7 direction and displayed in the alignment display area R850 (P854). ..

  Further, the image F reaches the lower end region by moving in the v6 direction. Here, based on the alignment display area table 164, since the end is associated with the second alignment display area, it is moved/rotated in the v8 direction and displayed in the alignment display area R860 (P864). ..

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to provide a plurality of aligned display areas at one end. Note that the alignment display area table 164 may store the coordinates of the alignment display area. As a result, it is possible to flexibly set the aligned display area.

[14. Fourteenth Embodiment]
A fourteenth embodiment will be described. The fourteenth embodiment is an embodiment in which, after the selected image reaches the end area, the selected image is not displayed in an aligned manner but has a predetermined attribute or is stored in a group.

  In the fourteenth embodiment, the functional configuration and the flow of processing are the same as those of the first embodiment in principle, but the end arrival processing of FIG. 5 in the first embodiment is replaced with the end arrival processing of FIG. There is. Further, in the present embodiment, the group management table 166 shown in FIG. 26 is stored in the storage unit 150. In this case, the sorted image table 154 may be stored instead.

  The group management table 166 is a table for managing images for each group. For example, image A, image B, and image C are stored in the first group.

  The process when the end portion is reached in this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. First, a group for storing an image is determined corresponding to the edge (step S902). Subsequently, the selected image is moved and displayed so as to be stored in the group (step S904). At this time, the selected image is stored in the group management table 166.

  An example of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. First, as shown in FIG. 28A, the image C is selected, slide-operated in the v1 direction, and moved and displayed.

  As shown in FIG. 28B, the image C is moved and displayed in the v2 direction and has passed the position of P900. Here, as a display indicating a group, a group display R900 is displayed in FIG. This group display R900 stores the images of the first group. For example, when the user touches the group display R900, the images stored in the first group are displayed or retrieved.

  As shown in FIG. 28C, the image C is moved and displayed in the v3 direction, and when it reaches the left end region, it is rotated and displayed in the v4 direction. Here, the image is displayed so as to be stored in the group display R900, and the display of the image C disappears.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, it is possible to group the selected images that have reached the end into one group. For example, an external storage device or a cloud folder may be set instead of the group. With this, a process of automatically storing the selected image reaching the end portion in the external storage device or uploading it to the cloud may be realized.
