《1-1》 Composition

1 is a functional block diagram schematically showing the configuration of a touch panel input device 1 (including the touch input determination device 10) according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the touch panel input device 1 includes a touch input determination device 10 and a touch panel 20. The touch panel 20 is disposed on the operation panel unit (user operation unit) 21 that accepts a touch operation by the user and the operation panel unit 21, and is displayed on the display panel that provides an image such as an operation screen to the user. A part (display device) 22 is provided. The touch input determination device 10 is a device capable of implementing the touch input determination method according to the first embodiment. The touch input determination device 10 is a device capable of executing a touch input determination program according to the first embodiment.

In Embodiment 1, the case where this invention is applied to the registration apparatus of the target floor for registration of the target floor of an elevator system is demonstrated. In this case, the touch panel input device 1 is provided in the car of an elevator, and is used by the user who is a passenger of an elevator. However, the touch panel 20 may be provided in the car of the elevator, and the touch input determination device 10 may be mounted in an elevator control device which is an facility outside the car of the elevator.

First, the outline | summary of the touch input determination apparatus 10 which concerns on Embodiment 1 is demonstrated. In the touch input determination apparatus 10, first, the operation determination part 12 is based on the 1st touch operation (for example, tap or double tap) in the touch panel 20 for determining a user's operation hand. Receiving the signal A1, the operation hand information indicating whether the operation hand which performs the second touch operation (rotation operation) for changing the selection value is either the right hand or the left hand is determined from the signal based on the first touch operation.

Moreover, the operation determination part 12 is change direction information A2 which shows whether the direction of change of a selection value (selection floor which is an objective floor) is an increase direction (up) or a decrease direction (fall) from the elevator control apparatus which is an external device. Receive. This change direction information A2 is information corresponding to the operation of the up button or down button provided in the boarding point of the elevator before the person who plans to appear before boarding the elevator boards the car of the elevator. In other words, when the upper button is pressed, the change direction is the increase direction, and when the lower button is pressed, the change direction is the decrease direction.

When the operation hand indicated by the operation hand information is the left hand, and the operation direction indicated by the operation hand information is the increase direction indicated by the change direction information A2, the operation determination unit 12 is the rotation operation of the right rotation when the second touch operation (rotation operation) by the user is performed. The right turn change amount RADD, which is the change amount at the time, is set to the first negative value (for example, " -1 "), and the left turn change amount LADD, which is the change amount when the second touch operation is the turn operation for the left turn, is a first positive value (eg, " +1 "). Here, the change amount is a value added to the selection value whenever the rotation angle by the rotation operation reaches a predetermined angle. Further, the operation determining unit 12 sets the right turn change amount RADD to a second positive value (for example, "+1") when the operation hand indicated by the operation hand information is the left hand and the change direction indicated by the change direction information A2 is the decrease direction. ), And the left turn change amount LADD is set to a second negative value (e.g., "-1").

In addition, when the operation hand indicated by the operation hand information is the right hand and the change direction indicated by the change direction information A2 is the increase direction, the operation determination unit 12 sets the right turn change amount RADD to a third positive value (for example, "+1"). ), And the left turn change amount LADD is set to a third negative value (for example, "-1"). When the operation hand indicated by the operation hand information is the right hand and the change direction indicated by the change direction information A2 is the decrease direction, the operation determination unit 12 sets the right turn change amount RADD to a fourth negative value (for example, "-1"). The left turn change amount LADD is set to a fourth positive value (for example, "+1"). The first to fourth positive values may be different from each other. The first to fourth negative values may be different from each other.

The operation determination unit 12 sets the value obtained by adding the right turn change amount RADD to the current selection value as the new selected value after the change when the second touch operation is the right turn rotation operation, and the second touch operation is the left turn rotation operation. , The value obtained by adding the left turn change amount LADD to the current selection value is set as the new selection value after the change.

The operation determination part 12 determines the new selection value after a change as a current selection value according to the 3rd touch operation in the touch panel 20 (for example, when a 3rd touch operation is a double tap).

By adopting the touch panel input device 1 or the touch input determining device 10, the left-handed user performs leftward rotational operation that is easy to operate, but it is almost necessary to perform rightward rotational operation that is difficult to operate. (However, in the case where the direction of change of the selected value is changed, a right turn rotation operation may be necessary). In addition, the right-handed user performs a right-turn rotation operation that is easy to operate, but it is hardly necessary to perform a left-turn rotation operation that is difficult to operate (However, if the direction of change of the selected value is changed, the left-turn rotation operation is performed. It may be necessary).

Next, the detail of the touch input determination apparatus 10 which concerns on Embodiment 1 is demonstrated. As shown in FIG. 1, the touch input determining device 10 includes an operation information input unit 11 that receives operation information A0 provided from the operation panel unit 21 of the touch panel 20 on which a touch operation is performed, and an operation. An operation determination unit 12 that receives a signal A1 based on the operation information A0 provided from the information input unit 11 and changes and determines the selection value A6 based on the signal A1, and a notification provided from the operation determination unit 12. The notification unit 18 which outputs the audio signal based on the information A3 to the speaker as the audio output device (41 in FIG. 2), and the image signal A5 based on the image information A4 provided from the operation determination unit 12. It has the display control part 19 provided to the display panel part (display apparatus) 22 of the touch panel 20. As shown in FIG.

The operation determination unit 12 includes an operation type determination unit 13, an operation hand determination unit 14, a rotation direction determination unit 15, a selection value changing unit 16, and a selection value determination unit 17. Has

The operation information input unit 11 receives operation information A0 based on the touch operation performed by the user in the touch panel 20, and transmits a signal A1 based on the operation information A0 to each functional block in the operation determination unit 12. to provide.

The operation type determination unit 13 receives a signal A1 based on the operation information A0 provided from the operation information input unit 11, and determines the type of the touch operation performed by the user and the operation amount of the touch operation. The kind of touch operation is a tap, a double tap, a rotation operation etc., for example. Here, the tap is an operation of tapping the operation screen of the touch panel 20 with a finger, and the double tap is an operation of tapping the operation screen of the touch panel 20 with a finger twice. In addition, a rotation operation is operation which makes two fingers move like a circle on the operation screen of the touchscreen 20. FIG. Rotation operation is shown to FIG. 8 (a)-FIG. 8 (d) mentioned later. The amount of manipulation in the case where the touch operation is a tap or a double tap is, for example, a range (area in contact with) indicated by two-dimensional coordinates when a finger touches the touch panel 20. The manipulation amount of the rotation operation is, for example, the rotation angle of the finger which is moved in a circle on the touch panel 20. This rotation angle is the amount of change from the angle at the start of rotation in a series of rotation operations to the angle at the end of rotation, that is, the first straight line connecting the rotation center and the rotation start point, the rotation center and the rotation end point. It is an angle formed by the second straight line. In addition, the rotation operation performed by two fingers is an operation of drawing a circle by moving two fingers on the touch panel 20 in different directions, respectively, or while fixing one finger at the center position of the circle, The motion of drawing a circle by moving a finger.

The operation hand determination unit 14 is based on the touch operation (first touch operation for determining the operation hand) performed by the user on the operation screen of the touch panel 20, and then touch operation (second operation) of the user. The rotation operation, which is a touch operation), is performed by either the right hand or the left hand, that is, whether the operation hand used by the user for the rotation operation is the right hand or the left hand.

The rotation direction determination unit 15 includes operation hand information indicating whether the operation hand determined by the operation hand determination unit 14 is a left hand or a right hand, and a selection value input from a device or equipment external to the touch panel input device 1. From the information indicative of the change direction, the left turn change amount LADD which is the selection value change amount at the time of the left turn rotation, which is the second operation performed by the user, and the right turn change amount RADD which is the selection value change amount at the time of the right turn rotation operation, are determined. In Embodiment 1, the information of the direction of change of a selection value is the information of the target direction (upper floor or lower floor) designated by the boarding point of an elevator. In addition, the left turn change amount which is the selection value change amount at the time of the left side rotation operation, and the right turn change amount which is the selection value change amount at the time of the right side rotation operation are a change amount of the number of layers.

When the second touch operation is a rotation operation, the selection value changing unit 16 determines whether the rotation operation is left rotation or right rotation, and adds the amount of selection value change to the current selection value. Gets the new selection after the change. In Embodiment 1, a selection value is a target layer number.

When the current selection value is changed to the new selection value after the change, the display control unit 19 changes the display of the operation screen from the current selection value before the change to the new selection value after the change. In Embodiment 1, the display control part 19 transmits an image signal to the liquid crystal monitor etc. which display the touchscreen 20 and the target floor of an elevator.

The notification unit 18 transmits an audio signal for notifying the selection value by voice to the audio output device (voice output unit) when the current selection value is changed by the selection value changing unit 16 to a new selection value after the change. do. In addition, the notification unit 18 may output an audio signal for outputting a sound indicating the rotation operation (for example, a sound imitating the rotation sound of the telephone dial) during the rotation operation by the finger.

The selection value determiner 17 is a new value after the change obtained by the selection value changer 16 when the operation is a double tap from the operation information input from the operation information input unit 11 in the operation type determiner 13. Determines the selection value as the new current selection value. In Embodiment 1, the selection layer of an elevator is determined as a target layer.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a hardware (H / W) configuration of the touch panel input device 1 according to the first embodiment. The touch panel 20 can detect the contact of a plurality of fingers and generate operation information (identification information of each finger, coordinate information of a contact position of the finger, information indicating a contact state of the finger, etc.). By the processor 31 executing a program (touch operation determination program) which is software stored in the memory 32, the functions of the respective configurations of the touch input determination device 10 are realized. The display control unit 19 is realized by the display device 22 performing an operation based on the instruction of the processor 31. The notification unit 18 is realized by the voice output device 41 performing an operation based on the command of the processor 31.

《1-2》 Operation

4 is a flowchart showing processing performed by the touch panel input device 1 and the touch input determination device 10 according to the first embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 4, first, in step S11 of FIG. 4, the operation hand determination part 14 determines whether the operation hand which a user uses for rotation operation (2nd touch operation) is a right hand or a left hand. Is determined, the notification information indicating the determined operation hand (right or left hand) is provided to the notification unit 18, and the notification signal based on the notification information is provided from the notification unit 18 to the audio output device 41. The notification unit 18 outputs the announcement of the information regarding the touch operation from the speaker of the audio output device 41.

The process of step S11 is explained concretely using FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing a process performed by the operation deciding portion 14 according to the first embodiment.

First, the notification unit 18 notifies the user of the operation hand designation method (step S111). For example, the notification unit 18 announces the operation hand designation method by voice from the audio output device 41. The contents of the announce is, for example, "Determining the hand to operate. Tap if you want to operate with your right hand. Double-tap if you want to operate with your left hand." However, the combination of an operation hand and an operation method for determining an operation hand is not limited to said example. For example, a double tap may be used for the right hand operation and a tab may be used for the left hand operation. Alternatively, operations other than taps and double taps may be employed as the operation method for determining the operation hand.

Next, in step S12 of FIG. 4, the operation information input unit 11 acquires operation information A0 based on the touch operation performed on the touch panel 20.

Next, in step S13 of FIG. 4, the operation type determination part 13 receives the signal A1 based on operation information A0 from the operation information input part 11, and determines whether a touch operation is a tap.

Next, when it is determined from the signal A1 based on the operation information A0 that the touch operation is a tap (YES in step S113), the operation hand determination unit 14 determines that the operation hand is a right hand (step S115).

When it is determined from the signal A1 based on the operation information A0 that the touch operation is not a tap (NO in step S113), the operation type determination unit 13 determines whether the touch operation is a double tap (step S114).

When it is determined from the signal A1 based on the operation information A0 that the touch operation is a double tap (YES in step S114), the operation hand determination unit 14 determines that the operation hand is the left hand (step S116).

When it is determined from the signal A1 based on the operation information A0 that the touch operation is not a double tap (NO in step S114), the operation hand determination unit 14 determines that the operation hand is the right hand (step S117).

Finally, at least one of the notification part 18 and the display control part 19 outputs an audio signal or an image signal in order to notify a user of the operation hand determined in step S115, step S116, and step S117 (step S118). ). For example, the notification unit 18 causes an announcement by voice from the audio output device. Alternatively, the display control unit 19 may display a message notifying that the operation hand has been determined on the operation screen of the touch panel 20. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of display of a message for notifying that an operation hand has been determined.

Next, in step S12 of FIG. 4, the selection value change amount according to the rotation direction of a rotation operation is determined from the information of the hand and the direction of change of the selection value which were determined by the rotation direction determination part 15 and the operation hand determination part 14 next. The notification unit 18 notifies the direction of rotation by sound.

Next, the specific process of the rotation direction determination part 15 of this embodiment is demonstrated using FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing processing of the rotation direction determining unit in the first embodiment. 8 (a) to 8 (d) are diagrams illustrating a rotation operation by two fingers on the touch panel 20.

First, it is judged whether the operation hand is the left hand from the information of the operation hand determined by the operation hand determination unit 14 (step S121).

Next, when the operation hand is the left hand, it is determined whether the direction of change of the selection value is addition or subtraction (step S122).

When the change direction of the selection value is addition, the right turn change amount RADD which is the change amount for the right turn operation is set to "-1", and the left turn change amount LADD that is the change amount for the left turn operation is set to "-1", and the determined value is stored in the storage unit (e.g., Memory 32) (step S124).

When the change direction of the selection value is subtracted, the right turn change amount RADD which is the change amount at the time of the right turn operation is set to "+1", and the left turn change amount LADD which is the change amount at the time of the left turn operation is set to "-1", and the determined value is stored in the storage unit (for example, Memory 32) (step S125).

Next, when the operation hand is the right hand, it is determined whether the direction of change of the selection value is addition or subtraction (step S123).

When the change direction of the selection value is addition, the right turn change amount RADD which is the change amount for the right turn operation is set to "+1", and the left turn change amount LADD which is the change amount for the left turn operation is set to "-1", and the determined value is stored in the storage unit (e.g., Memory 32) (step S126).

When the change direction of the selection value is subtracted, the right turn change amount RADD which is the change amount for the right turn operation is "-1", and the left turn change amount LADD that is the change amount during the left turn operation is set to "+1", and the determined value is stored in the storage unit (e.g., Memory 32) (step S127).

For example, when the operation hand determined by the operation hand determination unit 14 is the right hand and the target direction of the elevator, which is the direction of change of the selection value, is upstairs, the operation hand determination unit 14 has the left turn change amount LADD "-1" and the right turn. It is determined that the change amount RADD is "+1".

Next, in step S13 of FIG. 4, the operation information input unit 11 obtains operation information A0 from the touch panel 20.

Next, in step S14 of FIG. 4, the operation type determination unit 13 determines the type of operation and the operation amount from the signal A1 based on the operation information A0 obtained from the operation information input unit 11.

Next, in step S15 of FIG. 4, when the kind of operation is a rotation operation, a process progresses to step S16. If the type of operation is not a rotation operation, the process proceeds to step S18.

In step S16 of FIG. 4, the selection value changing unit 16 changes the current selection value in accordance with the rotation direction of the rotation operation determined by the rotation direction determining unit 15, and the display control unit 19 with respect to the display control unit 19. It is instructed to change the current selection value displayed on the operation screen of the touch panel 20 of 22). 9 is a diagram illustrating an example of an operation screen of the touch panel 20 displaying the current selection layer of the first embodiment.

Next, the process of the selection value changing unit 16 in the first embodiment will be described. 10 is a flowchart showing processing of the selection value changing unit 16 according to the first embodiment.

First, the selection value changing unit 16 determines whether the direction of the rotation operation (second operation) obtained from the operation type determination unit 13 is the right rotation (step S161), and if the direction of the rotation operation is the right rotation (step S161). Yes in S161), the process proceeds to step S162, and if the direction of the rotation operation is left turning (NO in step S161), the process proceeds to step S163.

If the direction of the rotation operation is the right turn (YES in step S161), the right turn change amount RADD is added to the current selection value SELFLR to calculate the current selection value (new selection value) SELFLR after the change (step S162). For example, when the current selection value SELFLR is "14" and the right turn change amount RADD is "+1", the calculated current selection value SELFLR after the change is "15". If the current selection value is the current selection layer and the right turn change amount RADD is the change in the number of floors during the right turn operation, the current selection layer is "14 floors", and if the right turn operation is performed, the current selection layer after the update is "15 floors". Becomes

If the direction of the rotation operation is left turning (NO in step S161), the left turning change amount LADD is added to the current selection value SELFLR to calculate the current selection value (new selection value) SELFLR after the change (step S163). For example, when the current selection value SELFLR is "14" and the left turn change amount LADD is "-1", the calculated current selection value SELFLR after the change is "13". If the current selection value is the current selection floor and the left turn change amount LADD is the change in the number of floors during the left turn operation, the current selection floor is "14 floors", and when the left turn operation is performed, the current selection layer after the change is "13 floors". Becomes

In step S18 of FIG. 4, when the kind of touch operation is a double tap (YES in step S18), a process progresses to step S19, and when the kind of operation is not a double tap (NO in step S18), a process Returning to step S13, operation information is acquired again.

In step S19 of FIG. 4, a current selection value is determined as a determination value. For example, by performing a double tap on the touch panel of the registration device of the target floor of an elevator, the current selected floor is determined as the target floor.

《1-3》 effect

As described above, according to the first embodiment, for example, in the registration device of the target floor of an elevator, the user is selected from the operation hand (left hand or right hand) and the direction (change direction of the selected value) of the target floor desired by the user. By matching the direction in which the operation hand tends to rotate with the direction of the target layer, there is an effect that the user feels inconvenience in the rotation operation. In other words, according to the first embodiment, the left-handed user performs the left-handed rotational operation that is easy to operate, but it is hardly necessary to perform the right-handed rotational operation that is difficult to operate. Although easy right rotation operation is performed, it is almost unnecessary to perform left rotation rotation operation that is difficult to operate.

In addition, by notifying by voice during or after changing the selection floor, the operation can be performed even without viewing the operation screen, and the operation by a user or a visually impaired person who concentrates on other tasks can be performed. .
