Although details will be described later, one or more icons iX11, iX12, and iX22 (these are collectively When a touch-on operation T and a long press are performed on an arbitrary icon of "iXmn"), the area where the arbitrary icon iXmn for which the long-press operation is performed is displayed in the icon arrangement area Ai. is the source area As. Therefore, the movement source area As is composed of a square small-sized icon iX11 corresponding to one icon arrangement unit area UAi, a rectangular medium-sized icon iX12 corresponding to two icons, and a square icon iX12 corresponding to four icon arrangement unit areas. It is the same size and shape (congruent) as any of the large size icons iX22 of .

Further, although details will be described later, if a slide operation is performed to change the touch position according to a user operation without touching off after the movement source area As is determined, the touch position during movement is set as the center of gravity. , closest to a rectangle (square or rectangle) having the same size and shape as the source area As, is identified as a candidate for the destination area Ae. Specifically, if the icon being moved is a small square icon iX11, one icon placement unit area congruent with the small square in the icon placement area Ai is the destination area Ae. identified as a candidate for Further, if the icon being moved is a medium-sized rectangular icon iX12, two icon placement unit areas congruent with the rectangle in the icon placement area Ai are identified as candidates for the destination area Ae. be. Further, if the icon being moved is a square-shaped large-sized icon iX22, four icon placement unit areas congruent with the large square in the icon placement area Ai are used as candidates for the destination area Ae. identified.

The outer edge of the icon iXmn displayed in the movement source area As is arranged in the candidate movement destination area Ae in the icon arrangement area Ai at the time of the touch-on operation or the long-press determination 1 It is determined whether or not the icon iXmn and the outer edge of the empty area av1 match. In FIGS. 10B and 10C, the outer edge of the source area As (the outer edge of the large-size icon iX22) corresponds to one or more icons iXmn already arranged in the determined destination area Ae, an empty area av1 and It matches the outer edge of the empty area av1. In this way, when the touch-off operation is detected in a state where the two outer edges match, the candidate destination area Ae at that time is determined as the destination area Ae, and the display content of the source area As is determined. , and the display contents of the determined destination area Ae.

In the example of FIG. 10B, when the touch-on operation or long-press determination is made, one large-sized icon iX22 is displayed in the movement source area As, and four small-sized icons iX22 are displayed so as to fit in the candidate movement destination area Ae. Since the size icon iX11 is displayed (Fig. 10(C), left diagram), when the touch-off operation is detected, four small size icons iX11 are displayed in the movement source area As, and the determined movement destination area Ae is displayed. The display is controlled by the CPU 21 so that one large-sized icon iX22 is displayed in (Fig. 10(C) right diagram).

In the example of FIG. 10C, when the touch-on operation or long-press determination is made, one large-sized icon iX22 is displayed in the movement source area As, and one medium-sized icon iX22 is displayed so as to fit in the candidate movement destination area Ae. Since the size icon iX12, one small size icon iX11, and one empty area av1 (outlined square) are displayed (left diagram in FIG. 10(C)), when the touch-off operation is detected, the One medium-sized icon iX12 and two small-sized icons iX11 are displayed in the original area As, and one large-sized icon iX22 is displayed in the determined destination area Ae (Fig. 10(C) right ), the display is controlled by the CPU 21 .

FIGS. 10D, 10E, and 10F are schematic diagrams explaining that the icon iXmn displayed in the source area As cannot be moved to the destination area Ae. In FIGS. 10D, 10E, and 10F, the outer edge of the icon iXmn displayed in the movement source area As is moved to the candidate movement destination area Ae by the touch-on operation or long-press determination. It does not match the outer edge of one or more icons iXmn or the empty area av1 currently placed. In this way, when the touch-off operation is detected in a state in which the two outer edges do not match, the display contents of the movement source area As and the display contents of the movement destination area Ae' at that time are not exchanged. , the display is controlled by the CPU 21 so as to display a message notifying that the icons cannot be replaced. The above-described message notification processing will be described in detail later.

In the example of the upper diagram of FIG. 10(D), one large-sized icon iX22 is displayed in the movement source area As, and one medium-sized icon iX22 is displayed in the candidate movement destination area Ae' at the time of the touch-on operation or long-press determination. Since the left half of the size icon iX12 and three small size icons iX11 are displayed, the outer edge of the source area As (the outer edge of the large size icon iX22) has already been placed in the determined destination area Ae'. does not match the outer edge of one or more icons iXmn or empty area av1.

In the example shown in the lower part of FIG. 10(D), one small-sized icon iX11 is displayed in the movement source area As, and one large-sized icon iX11 is displayed in the candidate movement destination area Ae' at the time of the touch-on operation or long-press determination. Since the upper right portion of the icon iX22 is displayed, the outer edge of the source area As (the outer edge of the small-size icon iX11) is one or more icons iXmn or an empty area that have already been placed in the determined destination area Ae'. It does not match the outer edge of av1.

As shown in FIG. 10(D), when the outer edge of the movement source area As does not match the outer edge of one or more icons iXmn or the empty area av1 already placed in the icon placement area Ai, , the display is controlled by the CPU 21 so as to display a message notifying that the icons cannot be replaced.

In the example of the upper diagram of FIG. 10(E), one medium-sized icon iX12 is displayed in the movement source area As, and one medium-sized icon iX12 is displayed in the candidate movement destination area Ae' at the time of the touch-on operation or long-press determination. Since the right half of the size icon iX12 (the same icon that exists in the source area As) and one small size icon iX11 are displayed, the outer edge of the source area As (medium size icon iX12 ) does not match the outer edge of one or more icons iXmn or empty area av1 already placed in the determined destination area Ae'. In this case, the source area As and the destination area Ae' partially overlap each other.

In the example shown in the lower part of FIG. 10(E), one large-sized icon iX22 is displayed in the movement source area As, and one large-sized icon iX22 is displayed in the candidate movement destination area Ae' at the time of the touch-on operation or long-press determination. Since the lower right portion of the icon iX22, one medium-sized icon iX12, and one small-sized icon iX11 are displayed, the outer edge of the movement source area As (the outer edge of the large-sized icon iX22) corresponds to the determined movement. It does not match the outer edge of one or more icons iXmn or empty area av1 already placed in the destination area Ae'. In this case as well, the source area As and the destination area Ae' partially overlap each other.

As shown in FIG. 10(D), when the source area As and the destination area Ae' partially overlap each other, a message is displayed to notify that the icons cannot be exchanged. , the display is controlled by the CPU 21 .

In the example of FIG. 10(F), one large-sized icon iX22 is displayed in the movement source area As at the time of the touch-on operation or the long-press determination, and at least part of the movement destination area Ae' is replaced with the icon arrangement area Ai. It protrudes outside the . As shown in FIG. 10(F), even when at least part of the destination area Ae' protrudes outside the icon arrangement area Ai, a message is displayed to notify that the icons cannot be replaced. The display is controlled by the CPU 21 so as to do so. The CPU 21 controls movement of icons on the home screen GH according to the above rules.

Next, the edit mode processing of the learning support device 10 will be described with reference to FIGS. 11 to 15. FIG. FIG. 11 is a flow chart showing home screen edit setting processing of the learning support device 10 . FIG. 12 is a flow chart showing edit mode processing that is changed according to home screen edit setting processing of the learning support apparatus 10 . FIG. 13 is a diagram showing an example of a display operation according to a user operation (editable) on the home screen GH according to the edit mode processing of the learning support device 10. As shown in FIG.

In response to pressing of the [Home] key 14a of the key input unit 14, as shown in FIG. 13A, the CPU 21 displays the home screen GH on the touch panel display unit 17 (step P1). When it is determined that a touch-on operation T has been performed in response to a user operation on the home screen GH (Yes in step P2), it is determined whether the touch-on position is on an icon registered in the icon placement area Ai. It is determined whether or not (step P3).

Here, when it is determined that the touch-on position is on the icon in the icon arrangement area Ai (Yes in step P3), the CPU 21 determines that the touch-on time is less than 1 second, for example, and the touch-off is completed. It is determined whether it is a short press or a long press continued for one second or more (steps P4 and P5). Further, when it is determined that the touched-on position is on the icon in the icon arrangement area Ai (Yes in step P3), the icon existing at the touched-on position is specified, and the specified icon is The displayed area is identified as the source area As. In the example of FIG. 13A, a rectangular area in the icon layout area Ai in which the [Large Dictionary] icon iJ1 is displayed is specified as the movement source area As.

Then, when it is determined that the touch-on on the icon is a short press, the processing after step S3 of the home screen operation processing described with reference to FIG. The processing of the function corresponding to the selected icon is executed (Yes in step P4→S3).

On the other hand, in the icon arrangement area Ai of the home screen GH shown in FIG. If it is determined that the button has been designated by the long press (Yes at step P5), the processing is changed to the edit mode shown in FIG. 12 (step PE).

If it is determined that the touched-on position on the home screen GH is not on the icon in the icon arrangement area Ai (No in step P3), or if it is on the icon in the icon arrangement area Ai If it is determined that the touch is neither a short press nor a long press (the touch is not correct) (No in step P5), other processing corresponding to the touch-on is executed (step P6).

For example, when the [big dictionary] icon iJ1 on the home screen GH shown in FIG. As shown in B), a favorite icon editing screen GE (first screen (2)) displaying guidance on a favorite icon editing method and a [deregistration] icon iRC is displayed outside the icon arrangement area Ai. It is displayed on the touch panel type display unit 17 .

Here, the CPU 21 continues to designate the [Large Dictionary] icon iJ1 by long pressing (T), that is, in a state in which it is not determined that the touch-off has been performed (No in step E1), and the touch position is shifted from the touch-on position. If it is determined that the icon has changed beyond the default value, that is, slid (moved) (Yes in step E2), the touch position (first position) on the favorite icon edit screen GE is identified (step E3). ). Note that, as shown in FIG. 13C, while a change in the touch position is being detected, the icon specified in step P3 is updated and displayed at the changed touch position.

Then, it is determined whether or not the identified first position satisfies the first condition (step E4).

Here, in the situations shown in FIGS. 10B and 10C, it is determined that the first condition is satisfied. That is, the outer periphery of the icon iXmn to be moved arranged in the movement source area As is the one or more icons iXmn that have already been arranged in the determined destination area Ae at the time of the touch-on operation or long-press determination and the empty area av1. If it matches the outer edge, it is determined that the identified first position satisfies the first condition.

Also, in the situations shown in FIGS. 10(D), (E), and (F), it is determined that the first condition is not satisfied. In other words, the outer edge of the icon iXmn to be moved arranged in the movement source area As is one or more icons iXmn or empty area av1 that has already been arranged in the determined destination area Ae at the time of touch-on operation or long-press determination. 10(D)), the source area As and the destination area Ae' partially overlap each other (FIG. 10(E)), or at least the destination area Ae' If part of it protrudes outside the icon arrangement area Ai (FIG. 10(F)), it is determined that the identified first position does not satisfy the first condition.

For example, as shown in FIG. 13C, the CPU 21 changes the size and shape of the outer peripheral edge of the [Large Dictionary] icon iJ1 moved d1 on the favorite icon edit screen GE and the specified first position. If it is determined that the size and shape of the outer periphery of the empty area av1 arranged in the movement destination area Ae are the same (the first position satisfies the first condition) (Yes in step E4), the movement source area Ae An editable message mY (“OK” and a blue “○”) notifying that the [Large Dictionary] icon iJ1 displayed in the area As and the empty area av1 displayed in the destination area Ae can be exchanged. ) is displayed in the edit screen GE (step E5).

Here, when the CPU 21 determines that the [Large Dictionary] icon iJ1 has been touched off (Yes in step E1), the touched off first position (here, the position of the empty area av1) is specified. (Step E6), it is determined that the identified first position satisfies the first condition in the same manner as in step E4 (Yes in step E7).

Then, the CPU 21 replaces and edits the display contents of the [Large Dictionary] icon iJ1 displayed in the movement source area As and the display contents of the empty area av1 displayed in the movement destination area Ae. As shown in (D), the edited home screen GH is displayed on the display unit 17 (step E8).

Similarly, the CPU 21, as shown in FIG. (the first position satisfies the first condition) ( Yes in step E4), editable to notify that the [Dictionary] icon iJ1 displayed in the source area As and the [Japanese dictionary] icon iJ2 displayed in the destination area Ae can be exchanged. A message mY (“OK” and a blue “o” mark) is displayed in the edit screen GE (step E5).

Here, when the CPU 21 determines that the touch on the [Large Dictionary] icon iJ1 is turned off (Yes in step E1), the touched off first position (here, the position of the [Japanese Dictionary] icon iJ2) is identified (step E6), and it is determined that the identified first position satisfies the first condition in the same manner as in step E4 (Yes in step E7).

Then, the CPU 21 replaces and edits the display contents of the [Large Dictionary] icon iJ1 displayed in the movement source area As and the display contents of the [Japanese Dictionary] icon iJ2 displayed in the movement destination area Ae. , as shown in FIG. 13F, the home screen GH after editing is displayed on the display unit 17 (step E8→E17).

Note that the icon [ENGLISH LESSON] iEL set to twice the height and width of the minimum size icon displayed on the home screen GH of FIG. 13A, or the icon displayed on the home screen GH of FIG. When an icon [check by handwriting] iS4a set to be twice as wide as the minimum size icon is touched and moved in the same manner as shown in FIGS. , if the specified first position is a combination of four 2×2 empty areas av1 to av4, or two 1×2 empty areas av1 and av2, or even a combination including other icons , the size and shape of the source icon (here, [ENGLISH LESSON] iEL or [Check by handwriting] iS4a) and a plurality of If the size and shape of the empty area of , a plurality of other icons, or an area consisting of a combination of the empty area and other icons are the same, and the first position satisfies the first condition, similar to the above, the movement source area The display contents of the icon displayed in As and the display contents displayed in the destination area Ae are exchanged and edited (steps E6 to E8).

14A and 14B are diagrams showing an example of a display operation in response to a user operation (registration cancellation) on the home screen GH according to the edit mode processing of the learning support apparatus 10. FIG.

For example, as shown in FIG. 14A, in the favorite icon edit screen GE that has been transitioned to the edit mode, when the [Large dictionary] icon iJ1 is touched on (T) and moved d3 (steps E1 to E3) , when it is determined that the first position specified in step E3 is a position overlapping the [deregistration] icon iRC (the first position satisfies the second condition) (Yes in step E9), the moving A deregistration possible message mc1 "Release" is displayed in the editing screen GE (step E10).

Here, when the CPU 21 determines that the [Large Dictionary] icon iJ1 has been touched off (Yes in step E1), the touched off first position (here, the position of the [Cancel registration] icon iRC). is identified (step E6), and the identified first position is determined to be the position overlapping the [deregistration] icon iRC in the same manner as in step E9 (Yes in step E11).

Then, the registration of the [Large Dictionary] icon iJ1 is canceled by the CPU 21, and as shown in FIGS. 17, the home screen registration cancellation completion message mc2 "Cancelled" is displayed on the home screen GH for a certain period of time (step E12), and the edit mode is terminated (step E17).

FIG. 15 is a diagram showing an example of a display operation according to a user's operation (editing disabled) on the home screen GH according to the edit mode processing of the learning support device 10. As shown in FIG.

For example, as shown in FIG. 15A, if the [Large Dictionary] icon iJ1 in the icon layout area Ai is touched on (T) and slid to move to the position of the [ENGLISH LESSON] icon iEL d4 (step E1 E3), the CPU 21 controls the size and shape of the outer periphery of the [Large Dictionary] icon iJ1 that has been moved d4, and the movement destination area Ae that is determined according to the identified first position. [ENGLISH LESSON] Since the size and shape of the outer periphery of the icon iEL are different, it is determined that the first position does not satisfy the first condition (No in step E4).

Further, the first position to which the [Large Dictionary] icon iJ1 is moved is not a position overlapping the [Unregister] icon iRC (the first position does not satisfy the second condition) (No in step E9), and At the time of touch-on operation or long-press determination, it is determined that the movement source area As in which the [ENGLISH LESSON] icon iJ1 is arranged is different from the movement destination area Ae in which the [ENGLISH LESSON] icon iEL is arranged. (No in step E13).

Then, the CPU 21 notifies that the [ENGLISH LESSON] icon iJ1 displayed in the source area As and the [ENGLISH LESSON] icon iEL displayed in the destination area Ae cannot be interchanged. An impossibility message mn (“NG” and a red “x” mark) is displayed in the editing screen GE (step E14).

Here, when the CPU 21 determines that the [Large Dictionary] icon iJ1 has been touched off (Yes in step E1), the touched off first position (here, the position of the [ENGLISH LESSON] icon iEL). is identified (step E6), the identified first position does not satisfy the first condition in the same manner as in step E4 (No in step E7), and, in the same manner as in step E13, when the touch-on operation or long At the time of pressing determination, it is determined that the source area As in which the [ENGLISH] icon iJ1 is arranged and the destination area Ae in which the [ENGLISH LESSON] icon iEL is arranged are different (No in step E15). ).

Then, as shown in FIG. 15B, the CPU 21 displays the guidance gs of the icon replacement method superimposed on the edit screen GE on which the edit prohibition message mn is being displayed (step E16), and the edit mode is terminated. (Step E17).

Therefore, according to the icon editing function of the home screen GH of the learning support device 10 configured as described above, the icon (first or second icon) displayed in the icon arrangement area Ai of the home screen GH (first screen) can be When a touch-on operation is specified, the touch position is moved without touch-off, and then a touch-off operation is performed, the outer peripheral edge of the icon iXmn displayed in the movement source area As moves to the candidate destination area Ae in the icon placement area Ai. Furthermore, if the specified first position matches the outer edge of the empty area av1 and the one or more icons iXmn arranged at the time of the touch-on operation or long-press determination, the specified first position satisfies the first condition. is determined to be When it is determined that the first position satisfies the first condition, the icon iXmn displayed in the source area As is replaced with the icon iXmn or the empty area av1 displayed in the destination area Ae. Edited.

As a result, it is possible to edit the icons displayed in the home screen GH by a new method that has never existed before.

Further, according to the icon editing function of the home screen GH of the learning support device 10 having the configuration described above, the outer peripheral edge of the icon iXmn displayed in the movement source area As is the candidate movement destination area Ae in the icon arrangement area Ai. In addition, when the icon iXmn displayed in the destination area Ae coincides with one or more icons iXmn arranged at the time of the touch-on operation or long-press determination and the outer edge of the empty area av1, Alternatively, when the empty area av1 is composed of a plurality of icons iXmn or empty area av1, each of the plurality of icons iXmn or empty area av1 is replaced with the icon iXmn displayed in the movement source area As and edited.

As a result, even if the size of the source icon is larger than one or more icons iXmn or empty area av1 at the destination, the shape of the plurality of icons iXmn or the empty area av1 at the destination will be the shape of the source icon. If the icon has the same shape as the icon, the icon in the home screen GH can be replaced and edited.

Further, according to the icon editing function of the home screen GH of the learning support device 10 configured as described above, the size and shape of other icons in the candidate destination area Ae in the icon arrangement area Ai and the outer periphery of the empty area can be changed. , and if it is determined that the size and shape of the outer periphery of the icon iXmn to be moved are the same, an editable message mY (“OK” and a blue “○”) is displayed on the edit screen GE, and the icons are different. If it is determined as such, the edit screen GE displays an uneditable message mn (“NG” and a red “x” mark).

As a result, when an icon is specified and moved in the icon placement area Ai by a touch-on operation, the target icon iXmn placed in the source area As can be replaced with another icon in the candidate move destination area Ae. The user can easily distinguish at a glance whether the editing operation of replacing with is possible or not.

Further, according to the icon registration cancellation function of the home screen GH of the learning support device 10 configured as described above, the icon (first or second icon) displayed in the icon arrangement area Ai of the home screen GH (first screen) can be , When it is determined (second condition) that the touch position (first position) during movement overlaps the [deregistration] icon iRC when the icon is moved while being specified by a touch-on operation, the icon during movement is It is possible to display a deregistration possible message mc1 for informing that deregistration is possible.

When the moving icon is superimposed on the [deregistration] icon iRC and a touch-off operation is performed, the icon can be deregistered from the home screen GH and deleted from the icon arrangement area Ai.

Furthermore, according to the icon registration function of the home screen GH of the learning support device 10 configured as described above, on the content list screen GL (second screen) listing a plurality of icons corresponding to a plurality of functions, any icon can be When specified by a specific operation such as a long press of a touch operation or a key operation of the [registration] key, the maximum number of icons has been registered on the home screen GH, or the maximum number of icons has not been registered on the home screen GH. Even in this case, it is determined (specific condition determination) whether the size and shape of the designated icon are incompatible with the size and shape of the empty area (icon unregistered area) of the home screen GH.

Then, when it is determined that the maximum number of icons have been registered on the home screen GH, a message mn1 indicating that the maximum number of icons has been registered is displayed, and the size and shape of the specified icon are the same as those on the home screen GH. When it is determined that the size and shape of the empty area (icon unregistered area) are unsuitable, an unsuitable message mn2 can be displayed to inform the user that the icon cannot be additionally registered.

Further, according to the home screen operation function of the learning support apparatus 10 configured as described above, the [Save card] icon iC displayed in the icon arrangement area Ai of the home screen GH can be pressed by a short touch operation or by pressing the [Enter] key. When a memory card is not inserted in a recording medium reading part 24 when designated by a user operation, an error message me indicating that the memory card is not inserted can be displayed to notify the user that the memory card is not inserted.
