Preferred embodiments for carrying out the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In addition, the following embodiments do not limit the invention according to each claim, and not all combinations of features described in the embodiments are essential for the solution of the invention. .

The information processing apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment has functions originally possessed by the information processing apparatus 1, for example, when the information processing apparatus 1 is a fundus examination apparatus, in addition to a fundus examination function and a fundus examination result display function. , has a function (selection operation support function) that supports the selection operation on the selection screen displayed in the process of exhibiting these original functions. In the information processing apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment, since various known configurations can be arbitrarily adopted for the configuration for exhibiting the inherent functions, the description is omitted. Only the configuration related to the selection operation support function will be described. The information processing device 1 is not limited to the fundus examination device described above, and may be any of various devices. As the information processing device 1, for example, a personal computer having a display, a keyboard and a mouse, a tablet terminal having a touch panel, or the like can be used.

As shown in FIG. 1, an information processing apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment includes a selection operation unit 2 that receives various operations from a user, a display unit 4 that displays various screens, and a CPU that executes various processes. (Control section) 6 and a storage section 9 for storing various information.

The display unit 4 displays a plurality of options 12a to 12o as shown in FIG. is configured to be able to display a selection screen 10 having Each of the plurality of options 12a to 12o is provided with a name of each option and a check box 14, and the name part and the check box 14 are configured to serve as a selection operation area. That is, each of the plurality of options 12a to 12o is switched (inverted) between the selected state and the non-selected state of the check box 14 by selecting either the name part or the check box 14 by the selection operation unit 2. is configured as follows. In the case of the above-described personal computer, the display corresponds to the display unit 4, and in the case of the above-described tablet terminal, the display function part of the touch panel corresponds to the display unit 4, but they are not limited to these. do not have.

The selection operation unit 2 is a means for accepting user input operations, and is particularly configured to enable selection of an arbitrary option from a plurality of options 12a to 12o displayed on the selection screen 10. . Such selection operations include a first selection operation for individually switching between the selected state and the non-selected state of the option to be operated, and the selected state and the non-selected state of options other than the option to be operated. A second selection operation for collectively switching between states, and a range specifying operation for collectively switching between selected states and non-selected states of a plurality of options within a specified range. These first selection operation, second selection operation and range designation operation will be described later. In the case of the above-described personal computer, the mouse corresponds to the selection operation unit 2, and in the case of the above-described tablet terminal, the operation reception function portion of the touch panel corresponds to the selection operation unit 2, but the present invention is not limited to these. not something.

The storage unit 9 is configured using various recording media such as an EEPROM and a hard disk, for example, and includes an OS (Operating System), which is a basic program for controlling the information processing apparatus 1, and the information processing apparatus 1. Various programs such as a control program for exhibiting functions, data necessary for the information processing apparatus 1 to function, and the like are recorded. The storage unit 9 also stores a selection operation support program for supporting a selection operation for selecting an arbitrary option from the plurality of options 12a to 12o.

The CPU 6 is configured to execute programs recorded in the storage unit 9 to perform various types of information processing and control of the information processing apparatus 1 . In particular, the CPU 6 executes the selection operation support program recorded in the storage unit 9 to switch between the selected state and the non-selected state of each option based on the selection operation input via the selection operation unit 2. A selection switching control unit 8 for executing control is provided.

Specifically, when the selection operation input via the selection operation unit 2 is the first selection operation, the selection switching control unit 8 switches between the selected state and the non-selected state of the option to be operated. It is configured to perform individual switching control. Here, the first selection operation is exemplified by single-clicking on an option for which selection/non-selection is desired to be switched. In general, the reversal of the check box 14 is performed by single-clicking, so by single-clicking the first selection operation in this way, it is possible to operate intuitively and smoothly without being particularly conscious of it. Become. In this specification, the term "single-click" means to perform an operation (click) by pressing and releasing a mouse button once in the case of operation using a mouse, and touching the touch panel in the case of operation using a touch panel. This means that the operation (tap) of pressing and releasing is executed once.

Further, when the selection operation input via the selection operation unit 2 is the second selection operation different from the above-described first selection operation, the selection switching control unit 8 It is configured to execute control for collectively switching between the selected state and the non-selected state of options.

That is, the selection switching control unit 8, for example, in a state in which all the options 12a to 12o are selected as shown in FIG. By executing the second selection operation on the selected option 12c, as shown in FIG. It is configured to execute control to switch to all at once.

Conversely, in a state where all the options 12a to 12o are in a non-selected state, the selection switching control unit 8 performs the second selection for the option (for example, option 12c) to be operated. When the operation is executed, the options (eg, options 12a, 12b, 12d to 12o) other than the option (eg, option 12c) to be operated are collectively switched to the selected state. there is

Here, the second selection operation is exemplified by double-clicking an option (option 12c in the example of FIG. 2) whose selection/non-selection is not desired to be switched. As with single-clicking, double-clicking is a common operation for selecting items, so by adopting such a familiar operation as the second selection operation, the selection operation can be made even smoother. It becomes possible to In this specification, the term "double-click" means to press and release the mouse button (click) twice quickly in the case of mouse operation, and to press the touch panel in the case of touch panel operation. It means to quickly perform a touch and release operation (tap) twice.

Furthermore, when the selection operation input via the selection operation unit 2 is a range specification operation for a plurality of options, the selection switching control unit 8 changes the selection state of the multiple options targeted by the range specification operation. It is configured to execute control for collectively switching between the unselected state and the non-selected state.

That is, the selection switching control unit 8, for example, as shown in FIG. , by performing an operation to specify the range of options 12d to 12j to be switched to the selected state, the options 12d to 12j within the specified range are collectively switched to the selected state. It is

Conversely, the selection switching control unit 8 designates the range of options (for example, options 12d to 12j) to be switched to the non-selected state when all the options 12a to 12o are in the selected state. By executing the operation, the options (for example, options 12d to 12j) within the specified range are collectively switched to the non-selected state.

Here, as an example of the range specifying operation, a drag operation for a plurality of options (options 12d to 12j in the example of FIG. 3) to be switched between selection and non-selection is exemplified. Dragging is generally used to continuously specify multiple items that are arranged in succession. And it becomes possible to operate smoothly. In this specification, the term “drag operation” means an operation of moving the mouse cursor while holding down the mouse button in the case of an operation using a mouse, and touching the touch panel in the case of an operation using a touch panel. This means the operation of sliding the That is, in the example shown in FIG. 3(c), while pressing the option 12d that is the starting point of the range specification, slide it to the option 12j that is the end point of the range specification, and release the pressing at the option 12j that is the end point. refers to the operation.

The control of the selection switching control section 8 described above is executed by the selection operation support program recorded in the storage section 9 . That is, the selection operation support program according to the present embodiment, when the selection operation input via the selection operation unit 2 is the first selection operation (for example, single click), selects the option to be operated. The information processing device 1 is configured to execute a process of individually switching between the selected state and the non-selected state. In addition, when the selection operation input via the selection operation unit 2 is the second selection operation (for example, double-click), the selection operation support program changes the selection state of options other than the option to be operated. The information processing apparatus 1 is configured to execute a process of collectively switching between the unselected state and the non-selected state. Furthermore, when the selection operation input via the selection operation unit 2 is a range designation operation for a plurality of options, the selection operation support program determines the selection state of the plurality of options targeted by the range designation operation. The information processing apparatus 1 is configured to execute a process of collectively switching between the unselected state and the non-selected state.

Next, a selection operation support method using the information processing apparatus 1 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 4. FIG. Each process of the information processing apparatus 1 described below is executed by the CPU 6 according to various programs recorded in the storage unit 9 .

First, as shown in FIG. 2A, a selection screen 10 having a plurality of options 12a to 12o is displayed on the display unit 4 of the information processing apparatus 1 by user's operation (S1 in FIG. 4). On the selection screen 10 in the initial state, all the options 12a to 12o are either selected or unselected. Note that FIG. 2(a) shows an example in which all the options 12a to 12o are in the selected state.

In such an all-selected state, if there are more options to be switched to the non-selected state than options to be maintained in the selected state, the user maintains the selected state as shown in FIG. 2B, for example. A second selection operation (for example, double-clicking) is performed via the selection operation unit 2 on one of the options (option 12c) desired to be selected. When the information processing apparatus 1 detects that the second selection operation is input via the selection operation unit 2 ("Yes" in S2 of FIG. 4), for example, as shown in FIG. 2(c), The options 12a, 12b, 12d to 12o other than the option 12c to be operated are collectively switched to the non-selected state (S3 in FIG. 4). In addition, when the initial state is the non-selected state, the "option to be maintained in the selected state" in the relevant processing should be read as "option to be maintained in the non-selected state", and the "option to be switched to the non-selected state" should be read as "selected state". option you want to switch to", and "switch to non-selected state all at once" is read as "switch to selected state all at once".

After the second selection operation (S3 in FIG. 4), if there is an option to be switched to the selected state, or if there is an option to be switched to the selected state, the selected option is individually switched to the non-selected state without performing the second selection operation. (“No” in S2 of FIG. 4), the user performs the first selection operation (for example, single-click) on the options that the user wishes to individually switch between selected and unselected. do. When the information processing apparatus 1 detects that the first selection operation has been input via the selection operation unit 2 ("Yes" in S4 of FIG. 4), the selection/non-selection of the option to be operated is performed. are individually switched (S5 in FIG. 4). When the first selection operation is performed for a plurality of options, the individual switching process is sequentially and repeatedly performed. In addition, when the initial state is the non-selected state, the ``option to switch to the selected state'' in the process is read as ``the option to switch to the non-selected state'', and the ``selected option is individually switched to the non-selected state. "I want to select" is read as "I want to individually switch unselected options to selected".

In addition, when the user wants to collectively switch the selected/unselected states of a plurality of options arranged in succession in the initial state, after execution of the second selection operation, or after execution of the first selection operation, the user can: For example, as shown in FIGS. 3(b) and 3(c), an operation (for example, a drag operation) is executed to specify the range of options 12d to 12j to be switched between selected and unselected states. When the information processing apparatus 1 detects that a range designation operation has been input via the selection operation unit 2 ("Yes" in S6 of FIG. 4), the information processing apparatus 1 selects/selects the options 12d to 12j within the designated range. The non-selected states are collectively switched (S7 in FIG. 4).

According to the selection operation support method according to the present embodiment, the second selection operation (for example, double-click), the first selection operation (for example, single-click), and the range specification operation (for example, drag operation) A desired selected/unselected state can be obtained with a minimum operation by switching between selection and non-selection based on .

As described above, the information processing apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment has the display unit 4 that displays the selection screen 10 having a plurality of options 12a to 12o, and selects an arbitrary option from the plurality of options 12a to 12o. and a selection switching control unit 8 for switching between the selected state and the non-selected state of each option based on the selection operation input via the selection operation unit 2. When the selection operation is the first selection operation, the switching control unit 8 performs control to individually switch between the selected state and the non-selected state of the option to be operated, and the selection operation is the first selection operation. When the second selection operation is different from the second selection operation, control is performed to collectively switch between the selected state and the non-selected state of the options other than the option to be operated.

According to the information processing apparatus 1 configured in this way, a desired selected/non-selected state can be obtained with fewer operations. It becomes possible to further support the selection operation. That is, as described above, in the conventional information processing apparatus, although the selection operation is supported by the select all button and the deselection button, for example, from the initial state in which all the options are in the selected state, one In order to keep only the option selected and deselect all the remaining options, press the Deselect button to deselect all options, and check the checkbox of the option you want to select. It is necessary to perform the operation of clicking to switch to the selected state. For this reason, in the conventional information processing apparatus, the number of click operations is large, and detailed operations are required to accurately move the mouse between the deselection button and the check box, and the mouse movement distance is long. Therefore, the operation is complicated and takes time. On the other hand, according to the information processing apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment, the same state can be obtained only by performing the second selection operation (for example, double-clicking) on the option whose selected/unselected state is desired to be maintained. Since it becomes possible, there is an advantage that the operability is dramatically improved.

Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the scope described in the above-described embodiments. Various changes or improvements can be added to each of the above embodiments.

For example, in the above-described embodiment, the first selection operation for individually switching between the selected/unselected state of the option to be operated is a single click, and the selection/non-selection of options other than the option to be operated is performed. The second selection operation for collectively switching the selection state is double-clicking, and the range specification operation for collectively switching the selected/unselected states of multiple options within the specified range is the drag operation. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and arbitrary operations can be adopted as long as the operations are different from each other.

Moreover, the selection screen is not limited to the selection screen 10 illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 3, and various selection screens can be used as long as the selection screen has a plurality of options. For example, in addition to the plurality of options 12a to 12o, a button or the like may be provided for collectively switching between the selected state and non-selected state of all the options 12a to 12o.

It is clear from the description of the scope of claims that modifications such as those described above are included in the scope of the present invention.
