Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to an image information processing device such as a microcomputer, and in particular to displaying an instruction mark such as a cursor on a CRT in a display section and moving the cursor on the CRT. This invention relates to an input means for moving.

[Technical background of the invention and its problems] For example, in a microcomputer, etc., the installed CRT
Move the cursor, which is the instruction mark displayed above, to its CR
Various input means have been used to control the movement on the CRT, but the input means conventionally used only have a constant speed of movement on the CRT. However, the number of dots on a CRT screen tends to increase year by year in order to obtain clearer images. In addition, in response to requests from users, etc., when the cursor is used to indicate not only the position of the image displayed on the CRT but also the detailed position of the image in dot units, the distance on the CRT In order to move the input device to a distant position, it is necessary to move the input device, which is usually called a mouse, over a large distance, for example, on the desk. For this reason, in the past, it was not enough to move the object once on the desk, and the object had to be re-rolled several times. On the other hand, when the moving distance of the cursor on the CRT is set to be larger than the moving distance of the mouse on the desk, a problem arises in that it is difficult to specify a detailed position. Therefore, it has been desired to develop a device that can be used both when specifying widely separated positions on the screen and when specifying detailed positions of images on the screen, for example, in units of dots.

[Object of the Invention] The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and for example, when moving a cursor, which is an instruction mark, on the screen of a microcomputer, etc., it can be used to move a large distance or to move a minute distance. It is an object of the present invention to provide an image information processing device having an input means suitable for any case.

[Summary of the Invention] A summary of the present invention for achieving the above object includes at least a display section that displays an instruction mark, and a movement for moving the instruction mark displayed on the display section on the display section. and an input means for inputting amount information, the image information processing apparatus further comprising a selection means for selecting the amount of movement of the instruction mark on the display section according to the amount of movement information input from the input means. It is characterized in that it is provided as an input means.

[Embodiment of the Invention] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 2 is a schematic block diagram of the image information processing device of the present invention;
3 is an external perspective view of the image information processing apparatus shown in FIG. 2. FIG.

In FIG. 2, the reference numeral 1 denotes a control section consisting of a CPU that controls the entire apparatus. This control section 1 includes a keyboard 2 which is an input section for inputting information from the outside, a storage section 6 for storing input information, and a storage section 6 for storing information stored in this storage section 6 and information input from the keyboard 2. A CRT 3 is a display unit that displays information, an image input unit 4 that reads image information, and a normal mouse (hereinafter referred to as a mouse) that inputs movement amount information to control the movement of an instruction mark, such as a cursor, displayed on the CRTa. The input means 5 obtains coordinate values on the CRTa from the rotation angle of a bearing provided on the bottom surface of the mouse body, for example. Further, the appearance of the image information processing apparatus constructed in this manner is shown in FIG. 3. The image information processing device shown in the figure includes a main body 7 including a control section 1 and a storage section 6;
It is composed of the above-mentioned CRT 3, keyboard 2, mouse 5, and image input section 4.

The mouse, which is the input means, will be explained below with reference to FIG.

The mouse 5, which is the input means shown in the figure, is, for example, a mechanical type. This mechanical mouse 5 is equipped with a spherical bearing made of plastic, for example, on the lower surface (not shown) of the figure, and by rolling this bearing on a desk, etc., the rotation angle is set by making contact with this bearing. This rotation angle is electrically converted by a detector (not shown) that detects the rotation angle, and is transmitted to the control section 1.

The mouse 5 shown in FIG. 1 has two buttons 5a and 5b,
In this embodiment, 5b is displayed on the CRTa and serves as a selection means for selecting the ratio between the amount of movement of the cursor (2) and the amount of movement of the mouse 5 on a desk, for example. Select a value to calculate CRTa for the amount of movement of mouse 5.
You can change the amount of movement of the cursor displayed above. In addition, the above-mentioned 5a is CRTa
This is a button for transmitting the display of the above coordinates, etc. to the control unit 1.

Next, the principle of changing the amount of movement of the cursor on the CRTa relative to the amount of movement of the mouse 5 using the selection means provided on the mouse 5 will be explained.

Move the cursor on CRTa using the following X coordinate.

This is done by setting the Y coordinate. In other words, X=A1(A2)xXm+Xo ・(1)Y=
81 (82)xYm+Yo (2) Here, XO, YO represent the coordinates of the cursor before movement on the CRT 3, and ><m, ym represent the amount of movement of the mouse 5, for example, on a desk. As can be understood from this equation, Al
, A2, B1. B2 is a coefficient that determines the ratio between the amount of movement of the mouse 5 on the desk and the amount of movement of the cursor on the screen, and this coefficient is selected depending on whether or not the selection means 5b is pressed. Moving mouse 5 on the desk @
The ratio of the amount of cursor movement on the CRT a to that on the CRT a is set. In other words, the above A1. The size relationship of A2.81°B2 is set in advance as A1>A2.81>82, and if 5b is pressed on the selection means, A1.81 is selected, and if 5b is not pressed, A2 is selected. , B2 will be selected.

Therefore, when moving one position away on the display, the amount of movement of the cursor per unit amount is larger than the standard movement of the mouse 5, and then the closer position is moved. When moving the cursor, the amount of movement of the cursor relative to the amount of movement of the mouse 5 is small so that the cursor can be moved accurately. The information is stored and read out from the storage section 6 via the control section 1 by pressing the button 5b of the selection means.

The operation of the mouse, which is the input means configured as above, will be explained.

FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram showing a state in which an image and a cursor are displayed on the CRTa shown in FIG.

To move the cursor from the cursor position 1 shown in the figure to the cursor position 1, the mouse 5 is rolled, for example, on a desk while pressing down the button 5b of the mouse 5. This operation (
Therefore, regarding the amount of movement of the cursor on the CRT 3 relative to the amount of movement of the mouse 5, A1 is selected for the X coordinate shown in the diagram, and B1 is selected for the Y coordinate shown at the same time, so that the Ago>A2 ．． Since there is a relationship of B1>82,
The movement of the cursor on CF<T3 is done quickly because it does not require a large amount of mouse movement.

On the other hand, if the mouse 5 is rolled on the desk without pressing the mouse 5b, A2 is selected for the X coordinate and B2 is selected for the Y coordinate. Therefore, for example, the cursor ■
Even in the case of instructing a detailed part in the near vicinity, for example, by appropriately setting the A2°82, it becomes possible to move and instruct every drive. Note that the values of A1°A2, 81.82 may be set in advance and left blank, or may be changed and operated by the person operating the apparatus.

The present invention is not limited to the one embodiment described above, but can be implemented with various modifications within the scope of the gist of the present invention.

For example, the mouse shown in FIG. 5 is a modified example of the mouse shown in FIG.

The mouse 5 shown in the figure is provided with a new button 5C in addition to the above-mentioned 5b as a selection means. The mouse mentioned above is button 5
Two ratios could be set depending on the pressed state of b, but by adding the button 5G shown in the figure, four ratio values can be selected in this embodiment. In this case, a corresponding new coefficient, for example, a value corresponding to A1.81, is set and stored in the storage section 6.

The mouse shown in FIG. 6 is an external perspective view of a second modification.

The mouse shown in the figure has a stick, indicated by 5d in the figure, in place of the button as the selection means described above. Further, the part indicated by 5e in the figure is a button corresponding to the above-mentioned function 5a, and by pressing this part in the direction of the arrow, the same function as the above-mentioned 5a can be performed.

With this configuration, in the previous embodiment, the ratio of the amount of movement of the cursor to the amount of movement of the mouse 5 could be selectively selected, but in this example, the illustrated stick 5d is By tilting in the direction of the middle arrow B or C, the ratio between the two can be continuously varied. In this case, as described above, the mouse 5 is used while being moved on a desk or the like while tilting the stick 5d in the B or C direction while arbitrarily changing the ratio of the amount of movement.

In the above embodiments, a mechanical mouse has been described, but it goes without saying that the invention can be similarly applied to, for example, an optical mouse. Further, in the above embodiment, the selection means is provided in the mouse water body, but the selection means is not limited to this, and may be provided as a separate device in addition to the main body.

[Effects of the Invention] As detailed above, according to the present invention, there is provided at least a display section that displays an instruction mark, and movement amount information for moving the instruction mark displayed on the display section on the display section. In the image information processing apparatus, the selection means for selecting the amount of movement of the instruction mark on the display section according to the amount of movement information inputted from the input means is an input-resistant input means.
