FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the electrical configuration of one embodiment of the touch panel type control data input device according to the present invention, and FIG. 2A and FIG. 2 is a partially cutaway front view and a partially cutaway bottom view schematically showing the structure of the touch panel 10 used in the example. FIG.

In this embodiment, the touch panel 10 includes an insulating base material 11
Detection electrodes 12 and ground electrodes 13 are alternately and repeatedly arranged in parallel on one side, and an insulating coating 14 is laminated on the surface. Then, on the surface of the insulating coating 14,
Thick protrusions L2 are formed to indicate boundaries that divide the entire touch panel 10 into a first area AR, a second area AR2, and a third area AR3. Areas ARI and AH3k each have three further areas AR, .

AH, +2, AR+s・AH31, AH32, AH
Thin protrusion 4+ + l indicating the boundary of 33 divided sections
+2 + 13+ 1 '42 is formed.

The operating principle of the touch panel 10 is based on the capacitance of the human body, and the sensing electrode 12 and the ground electrode 1 are generated when the user touches the insulating coating 14 with a finger.
Capacitance changes between 3 and 3 can be detected. In this touch panel 10, each of the detection electrodes 12 is sequentially scanned by a scanner 20.

The scanner 20 scans each detection electrode 13 of the touch panel 10 in order i to detect the touch operation state of the touch panel 10. The detection output data obtained by the scanner 20 is supplied to a first memory 30, and the detection output data for one scan is temporarily stored in the first memory 30.

The detection output data for one scan read out from the first memory 30 is supplied to a recognition block 4o, and this recognition block 40 recognizes the contact operation state of the touch panel 10 as a pattern for each scan by the scanner 20. be done.

The pattern data obtained in the recognition block 40 is
A second memory 40 and a data comparator 60 are supplied. The second memo IJ 50 temporarily stores the pattern data supplied from the recognition block 40 for one scanning period of the scanner 10.

The data comparator 60 then operates the recognition block 4.
The pattern data supplied from 0 and the second memory 5
The pattern data read from 0 is compared with the pattern data l scans ago, and a change in the pattern data is detected. The comparison output data obtained by the data comparator 60 is sent to a judgment block 70 which determines whether or not to output control data according to the comparison output data.
is supplied to.

The judgment block 70 reads out control data set in advance according to the touch operation state of the touch panel 10 from a data table (not shown) based on the comparison output data and outputs it.

Here, as the touch operation state of the touch panel 10 recognized by the recognition block 40, as schematically shown in FIG.
The state shown in Fig. A, and the state shown in Fig. 3B, in which one or a series of detection regions of each detection electrode 12 disposed on the touch panel 10 or a series of mutually adjacent detection electrodes are operated by touch,
The state shown in FIG. 3C or FIG. 3, the state shown in FIG. 3E and FIG. 3F where two detection areas of the touch panel 10 are touched simultaneously, and There is a state in which three or more detection areas are touched and operated at the same time. Note that the determination of the detection area is as follows:
This may be done by using the above-mentioned arrangement interval ε of the detection electrodes 12. Furthermore, as schematically shown in FIG. 4, this recognition block 40 detects a series of detection areas as shown in FIG. 4A based on the interval ε, and detects a series of detection areas as shown in FIG. 4B. After creating a block, calculate its center and normalize it.
The normalized pattern shown in Figure C is recognized.

The touch panel type control data input device of this embodiment is a video tape recorder (hereinafter simply referred to as a VTR).

) is applied to the first to third areas AR, AR, , of the touch panel 10.

AR, is allocated as an input area for the following control data.

The first and third areas AR+ and AR3 are for double speed playback in the reverse and forward directions.No matter what operating state the VTR is in, touching these areas will cause double speed playback as shown in Table 1. mode is set.

Table 1 Also, the second area AR2 is an area used for operation in JOG mode, and the following operations [1-1] to Ct-5) are performed by touching this second area AR,2. Control takes place.

(1-1'l No matter what operating state the VTR is in, if one, two, or three fingers touch this area AR2 almost simultaneously, the VTR enters the still mode.

[1-2) From the state of [1-t] above, if all fingers are released almost vertically at the same time, the methyl mode is fully maintained.

[1-3] If you move your finger to the right or left as soon as you touch the touch panel 10 from the above state (1-1'l), the VTR will go into JOG mode according to the direction and speed of your finger movement. Operate.

[1-4] From the state of [1-3] above, if the touch panel 10 is stopped while touching the finger, the still mode is entered.
