Abstract
Description
(1) 表示モードを、通常モードとタグ表示モードのいずれかに設定する機能。
(1)通常モードが設定されているときの情報入力受付処理
入力部11は、表示部10上の感圧シートに対するユーザのタッチ操作を監視している。この状態で、ユーザが感圧シートをタッチすると、入力部11は先ずステップS100において、表示モードとして通常モードが設定されているか、或いはタグ表示モードが設定されているかを判定する。この判定は、例えば、入力部11内のメモリに記憶されている表示モードのフラグを参照することにより行われる。
一方、上記タッチ位置がボタン又はハイパーリンクを選択可能な位置に対応していない場合(No)、情報入力受付処理はステップS103に移行する。ステップS103において、上記タッチ操作が長押しであるか否かを判定する。長押しとは、予め定められた時間以上(例えば0.5秒以上)同一箇所をタッチし続ける操作形態をいう。上記タッチ操作が長押しでない場合(No)、情報入力受付処理はステップS100に戻る。上記タッチ操作が長押しである場合(Yes)、入力部11は、入力部11内のメモリに記憶されている表示モードを示すフラグを通常モードからタグ表示モードに変更し、上記長押しされたタッチ位置の二次元座標を可動方向判定部17及び対象領域判定部18に供給する。
タグ表示モードが設定された状態で所望のボタン又はハイパーリンクを選択操作する場合、ユーザは、表示部10の表示領域に設定された対象領域に表示されているボタン又はハイパーリンクに関連付けたタグTにより示される1つ以上の矢印の各方向に、指先をスライドさせる。
なお、ステップS109において上記ポインタの出力処理が終了すると、入力方向判定部13は、入力部11に対して表示モードの変更指示を送る。入力部11は、上記変更指示を受けて、表示モードのフラグをタグ表示モードから通常モードに復旧させる。
図9を参照して本実施形態の第1変形例を説明する。入力部11が、複数のタッチ位置を同時に判別可能なマルチタッチ機能を有するタッチパネルを備えている場合、対象領域判定部18は2本の指のタッチ位置で挟まれた領域(入力部11に入力された二箇所のタッチ位置の二次元座標のy座標値(又はx座標値)間の領域)を対象領域として判定する。例えば、図9に示すように、2本の指のタッチ位置で挟まれた領域(二箇所のタッチ位置の二次元座標のy座標値間の領域)E3が対象領域として設定される。この場合、ユーザは、二本の指で対象領域E3を指定した後、一本の指でスライド操作を行うと予想されるので、入力部11は、可動方向を判定するために上側のタッチ位置の座標を常に可動方向判定部17に出力する。
図10を参照して本実施形態の第2変形例を説明する。入力部11が、ユーザの指先によりタッチされている感圧シート上の入力領域内の接触領域を検出して、接触領域に関する情報を対象領域判定部18に供給する機能を有する場合、対象領域判定部18は、ユーザの指先により指し示される方向に存在する1つ以上のボタン又はハイパーリンクを含んだ領域を対象領域E4として設定する。
図11を参照して本実施形態の第2変形例を説明する。入力部11が、ユーザの複数の指によりタッチされている感圧シート上の入力領域内の複数の位置(タッチ位置)を検出して、複数のタッチ位置に関する情報を対象領域判定部18に供給する機能を有する場合、対象領域判定部18は、ユーザの複数の指先により指し示される方向に存在する1つ以上のボタン又はハイパーリンクを含んだ領域を対象領域E5として設定する。
図12を参照して本実施形態の第4変形例を説明する。可動方向判定部17が、1つの矢印又は複数の矢印を組み合わせた矢印の列から構成されるタグ候補を動的に生成して、生成されたタグ候補がスライド操作不可能な方向の矢印を含んでいると、そのタグ候補を削除する場合、可動方向判定部17は、タッチ位置の二次元座標が含まれる可動方向決定領域ではなく、生成されたタグ候補をタグ付与部15に直接供給する。この場合、タグ候補記憶部16は省略される。
本実施形態の第5変形例を説明する。入力方向判定部13はスライド操作位置の二次元座標の変化を検出して、スライド操作パターンを判定する。
本実施形態の第6変形例を説明する。入力部11は、可動方向判定部17及び対象領域判定部18に異なるタッチ位置の二次元座標をそれぞれ供給する。この場合、ユーザは、最初に、表示部10の所望の領域にタグを表示する対象領域を設定するために、所望の領域を含んだボタン又はハイパーリンクが表示されていない表示領域に対応する感圧シート上の入力領域の第1位置を長押しする。入力部11は、第1位置(タッチ位置)の二次元座標を、タグを表示する対象領域を決定するための二次元座標として対象領域判定部18に供給する。対象領域判定部18は、供給されたタッチ位置の二次元座標に基づいて対象領域を設定して固定する。次に、ユーザは、可動方向決定領域を設定するために、自然な姿勢で指をスライド操作させることが可能な感圧シート上の入力領域の第2位置を長押しする。入力部11は、第2位置(タッチ位置)の二次元座標を、可動方向決定領域を決定するための二次元座標として可動方向判定部17に供給する。可動方向判定部17は、供給されたタッチ位置の二次元座標に基づいて可動方向決定領域を設定する。
前記実施形態では、タグ表示モードにおいて、ボタン又はハイパーリンクが1個選択されると、タグ表示モードを通常モードに復旧させるようにした。しかしながら、ユーザが復旧操作を行うまでタグ表示モードを保持して、ユーザが続けて複数のボタン又はハイパーリンクを選択できるようにしてもよい。
