Recognize as a gripping mode. That is, the gripping mode recognition unit 120 recognizes the gripping position (finger / palm contact position) as a way of holding the user's casing.
　なお、把持態様認識部１２０は、上述の３種類の検出値を把持態様として全て認識するのではなく、上述の３種類の検出値のうちの何れか１種類又は２種類の検出値を把持態様として認識してもよい。
　なお、電子機器２は、把持態様の認識に用いない検出値を出力するセンサを備えなくてもよい。但し、タッチセンサ１０の検出値を把持態様として認識しない場合であっても、画像回転制御部１３０が、タッチセンサ１０による画像回転指示（後述）に基づいて、表示部１００（表示画面１２）に表示中の画像の回転を制御する場合には、電子機器２は、タッチセンサ１０を備える必要がある。 Note that the gripping mode recognition unit 120 does not recognize all the above-described three types of detection values as the gripping mode, but uses any one type or two types of detection values of the above-described three types of detection values. You may recognize as.
Note that the electronic device 2 may not include a sensor that outputs a detection value that is not used for recognition of the grip state. However, even if the detection value of the touch sensor 10 is not recognized as a gripping mode, the image rotation control unit 130 displays the display unit 100 (display screen 12) based on an image rotation instruction (described later) by the touch sensor 10. In order to control the rotation of the image being displayed, the electronic device 2 needs to include the touch sensor 10.
　画像回転制御部１３０は、加速度センサ５０の検出結果と把持態様認識部１２０の認識結果とに基づいて、より詳細には、加速度センサ５０の検出結果から得られる筐体の姿勢の変化と、把持態様認識部１２０の認識結果から得られる把持態様の変化とに基づいて、表示部１００（表示画面１２）に表示中の画像の回転を制御する。 Based on the detection result of the acceleration sensor 50 and the recognition result of the gripping state recognition unit 120, the image rotation control unit 130, more specifically, the change in the posture of the housing obtained from the detection result of the acceleration sensor 50, and the gripping Based on the change in the gripping mode obtained from the recognition result of the mode recognition unit 120, the rotation of the image being displayed on the display unit 100 (display screen 12) is controlled.
　具体的には、画像回転制御部１３０は、筐体が所定の閾値以上回転し、かつ、筐体の回転の前後において把持態様が変化した場合、回転後の筐体の姿勢に応じて表示中の画像を回転させるように制御する。一方、画像回転制御部１３０は、筐体が所定の閾値以上回転し、かつ、筐体の回転の前後において前記把持態様が変化していない場合には、回転後の筐体の姿勢に応じて表示中の画像を回転させないように制御する。 Specifically, the image rotation control unit 130 is displaying according to the posture of the housing after the rotation when the housing rotates more than a predetermined threshold and the grip state changes before and after the rotation of the housing. The image is controlled to rotate. On the other hand, the image rotation control unit 130 rotates according to the posture of the housing after the rotation when the housing rotates by a predetermined threshold or more and the grip state does not change before and after the rotation of the housing. Control not to rotate the displayed image.
　図３Ａおよび３Ｂは、画像の回転制御に関する説明図である。図３Ａおよび３Ｂは、何れも、ユーザが、表示画面１２の面方向を略維持したまま（略同一方向に表示画面１２を向けたまま）、筐体を時計回りに９０度回転させた例を表している。なお、面方向を略維持した筐体の回転における所定の閾値は、４５度以上９０度未満の角度が好適であるが、図３Ａおよび３Ｂの例では、便宜上、４５度であるものとする。また、図３Ａおよび３Ｂの「×」印はユーザの把持位置を示している。
　即ち、図３Ａは、所定の閾値以上回転の前後において把持位置が変化した例（回転に際し筐体を持ち変えた例）を表している。図３Ｂは、所定の閾値以上回転の筐体の回転の前後において把持位置が変化しない例（回転に際し筐体を持ち変えていない例）を表している。なお、図３Ａおよび３Ｂの下矢印は重力方向を示している。 3A and 3B are explanatory diagrams regarding image rotation control. 3A and 3B both show an example in which the user rotates the casing 90 degrees clockwise while maintaining the surface direction of the display screen 12 (with the display screen 12 facing substantially the same direction). Represents. It should be noted that an angle of 45 degrees or more and less than 90 degrees is preferable as the predetermined threshold in the rotation of the casing with the surface direction substantially maintained, but in the example of FIGS. 3A and 3B, it is assumed that it is 45 degrees for convenience. 3A and 3B indicate the gripping position of the user.
That is, FIG. 3A shows an example in which the gripping position is changed before and after the rotation by a predetermined threshold value or more (an example in which the housing is changed during the rotation). FIG. 3B shows an example in which the gripping position does not change before and after the rotation of the casing that rotates more than a predetermined threshold (an example in which the casing is not changed during rotation). 3A and 3B indicate the direction of gravity.
　画像回転制御部１３０は、筐体が、図３Ａに示すように、所定の閾値以上回転し、かつ、筐体の回転の前後において把持態様が変化した場合、回転後の筐体の姿勢に応じて表示中の画像を回転させるように制御する。具体的には、画像回転制御部１３０は、筐体の回転前における表示画像の天地方向（重力方向）を維持するように、筐体の回転後における表示画像の天地方向を回転させる。例えば、図３Ａの場合、画像回転制御部１３０は、画像中の人物の顔が上になるように反時計回りに画像を９０度回転させている。 As illustrated in FIG. 3A, the image rotation control unit 130 responds to the posture of the housing after the rotation when the housing rotates more than a predetermined threshold and the grip state changes before and after the rotation of the housing. Control to rotate the displayed image. Specifically, the image rotation control unit 130 rotates the top / bottom direction of the display image after rotation of the housing so as to maintain the top / bottom direction (gravity direction) of the display image before rotation of the housing. For example, in the case of FIG. 3A, the image rotation control unit 130 rotates the image 90 degrees counterclockwise so that the face of the person in the image faces up.
　画像回転制御部１３０は、筐体が、図３Ｂに示すように、所定の閾値以上回転し、かつ、筐体の回転の前後において把持態様が変化していない場合、回転後の筐体の姿勢に応じて表示中の画像を回転させないように制御する（即ち、回転制御を行わない）。従って、筐体に対する表示画像の向きは、筐体の回転の前後において維持される。例えば、図３Ｂの場合、筐体の回転後における画像中の人物の顔は、筐体の回転前と同じく、辺Ａ側になっている。
　なお、図３Ｂの如く、筐体が所定の閾値以上回転し、かつ、筐体の回転の前後において把持態様が変化していない場合の一例は、画面を見ながら、起きた体勢から寝転んだ体勢へ体勢を変えた場合である。 As shown in FIG. 3B, the image rotation control unit 130 rotates the casing after rotation when the casing rotates more than a predetermined threshold and the grip state does not change before and after the casing rotates. In accordance with the control, the image being displayed is controlled so as not to rotate (that is, the rotation control is not performed). Accordingly, the orientation of the display image with respect to the housing is maintained before and after the rotation of the housing. For example, in the case of FIG. 3B, the face of the person in the image after the rotation of the casing is on the side A side as before the rotation of the casing.
In addition, as shown in FIG. 3B, an example of the case where the housing rotates more than a predetermined threshold and the grip state does not change before and after the rotation of the housing is the posture that lies down from the posture that occurred while watching the screen. This is the case when the posture is changed.
　図４Ａおよび４Ｂは、電子機器２の処理の流れを示すフローチャートの一例である。図４Ａは、画像回転指示（後述）による画像回転の制御を行わない場合の処理の流れを表している。
図４Ｂは、画像回転指示（後述）による画像回転の制御を行う場合の処理の流れを表している。なお、図４Ａおよび４Ｂのフローチャートの開始時において、表示画面１２には画像が表示されているものとする。なお、図４Ｂの説明は後述する。 4A and 4B are examples of flowcharts showing the flow of processing of the electronic device 2. FIG. 4A shows the flow of processing when image rotation control is not performed according to an image rotation instruction (described later).
FIG. 4B shows the flow of processing when image rotation is controlled by an image rotation instruction (described later). It is assumed that an image is displayed on the display screen 12 at the start of the flowcharts of FIGS. 4A and 4B. The description of FIG. 4B will be described later.
　図４Ａにおいて、画像回転制御部１３０は、加速度センサ５０の検出結果に基づいて筐体が閾値以上回転したか否かを判断する（ステップＳ１００）。 4A, the image rotation control unit 130 determines whether or not the casing has rotated more than a threshold based on the detection result of the acceleration sensor 50 (step S100).
　画像回転制御部１３０は、筐体が閾値以上回転している場合（ステップＳ１００：Ｙｅｓ）、把持態様認識部１２０の認識結果に基づいて、筐体の回転の前後において把持態様が変化したか否かを判断する（ステップＳ１０２）。画像回転制御部１３０は、筐体の回転の前後において把持態様が変化した場合（ステップＳ１０２：Ｙｅｓ）、上向きになるように画像を回転させる（ステップＳ１０４）。そして図４Ａのフローチャートは終了する。 The image rotation control unit 130 determines whether or not the grip state has changed before and after the rotation of the housing based on the recognition result of the grip state recognition unit 120 when the housing has rotated more than the threshold (step S100: Yes). Is determined (step S102). When the grip state changes before and after the rotation of the housing (step S102: Yes), the image rotation control unit 130 rotates the image so as to face upward (step S104). Then, the flowchart of FIG. 4A ends.
　一方、画像回転制御部１３０は、筐体が閾値以上回転していない場合（ステップＳ１００：Ｎｏ）、ステップＳ１０２を実行せずに、図４Ａのフローチャートは終了する。
また、画像回転制御部１３０は、筐体の回転の前後において把持態様が変化していない場合（ステップＳ１０２：Ｎｏ）、ステップＳ１０４を実行せずに、図４Ａのフローチャートは終了する。 On the other hand, the image rotation control unit 130 ends the flowchart of FIG. 4A without executing step S102 when the casing has not rotated more than the threshold value (step S100: No).
Further, when the gripping state has not changed before and after the rotation of the housing (step S102: No), the image rotation control unit 130 ends the flowchart of FIG. 4A without executing step S104.
　以上、電子機器２によれば、操作性を一層向上させることができる。つまり、筐体の回転に伴って表示を回転させるか否かを筐体の持ち変えたか否かによって制御するため、例えば、画面を見ながら起きた体勢から寝転んだ体勢へ体勢を変えた場合など、表示を回転させたくないときに自動的に回転しないようにすることができる。 As described above, according to the electronic device 2, the operability can be further improved. In other words, to control whether to rotate the display according to the rotation of the housing, depending on whether the housing has been changed, for example, when changing the posture from a posture that occurred while looking at the screen to a posture that lay down If you do not want to rotate the display, you can prevent it from rotating automatically.
　なお、上記実施例において、画像回転制御部１３０は、筐体が所定の閾値以上回転し、かつ、筐体の回転の前後において把持態様が変化していない場合には、回転後の筐体の姿勢に応じて表示中の画像を回転させないように制御する、と説明したが、画像回転制御部１３０は、筐体が所定の閾値以上回転し、かつ、筐体の回転の前後において把持態様が変化していない場合であっても、筐体の回転後に指示受付部（例えば、タッチセンサ１０）を介して所定の指示（例えば、タッチ。画像回転指示という）を受け付けたときは、回転後の筐体の姿勢に応じて表示中の画像を回転させるように制御するようにしてもよい。
　画像回転指示による画像回転の制御によれば、例えば、筐体の回転後において表示中の画像が自動的に回転しないような場合に、筐体を持ち変えることなく、表示中の画像を回転後の筐体の姿勢に応じて回転させることができる。例えば、図３Ｂの回転後の表示状態において、ユーザが把持位置を変えずに表示画面１２をタッチしさえすれば、図３Ａの回転後の表示状態のようになる。 In the above-described embodiment, the image rotation control unit 130 rotates the casing after the rotation when the casing rotates more than a predetermined threshold and the gripping state does not change before and after the casing rotates. Although it has been described that control is performed so as not to rotate the displayed image according to the posture, the image rotation control unit 130 rotates the casing more than a predetermined threshold, and the grip mode is before and after the rotation of the casing. Even if it is not changed, when a predetermined instruction (for example, touch, referred to as an image rotation instruction) is received via the instruction receiving unit (for example, touch sensor 10) after the casing is rotated, You may make it control to rotate the image currently displayed according to the attitude | position of a housing | casing.
According to the image rotation control by the image rotation instruction, for example, when the image being displayed does not automatically rotate after the rotation of the housing, the displayed image is rotated without changing the housing. It can be rotated according to the attitude of the housing. For example, in the display state after rotation in FIG. 3B, if the user just touches the display screen 12 without changing the gripping position, the display state after rotation in FIG. 3A is obtained.
　図４Ｂは、画像回転指示による画像回転の制御を行う場合の処理の流れを表している。図４Ｂにおいて、画像回転制御部１３０は、図４Ａの場合と同様、筐体が閾値以上回転したか否かを判断する（ステップＳ１００）。画像回転制御部１３０は、筐体が閾値以上回転している場合（ステップＳ１００：Ｙｅｓ）、図４Ａの場合と同様、筐体の回転の前後において把持態様が変化したか否かを判断する（ステップＳ１０２）。 FIG. 4B shows the flow of processing when image rotation is controlled by an image rotation instruction. In FIG. 4B, the image rotation control unit 130 determines whether or not the casing has rotated by a threshold value or more as in the case of FIG. 4A (step S100). The image rotation control unit 130 determines whether or not the gripping state has changed before and after the rotation of the casing, as in the case of FIG. 4A, when the casing is rotated by the threshold value or more (step S100: Yes) ( Step S102).
　画像回転制御部１３０は、筐体の回転の前後において把持態様が変化していない場合（ステップＳ１０２：Ｎｏ）、タッチセンサ１０を介して画像回転指示を受け付けたか否かを判断する（ステップＳ１０３）。画像回転制御部１３０は、筐体の回転の前後において把持態様が変化した場合（ステップＳ１０２：Ｙｅｓ）、又は、画像回転指示を受け付けた場合（ステップＳ１０３：Ｙｅｓ）、上向きになるように画像を回転させる（ステップＳ１０４）。そして図４Ｂのフローチャートは終了する。 If the grip state has not changed before and after the rotation of the housing (step S102: No), the image rotation control unit 130 determines whether an image rotation instruction has been received via the touch sensor 10 (step S103). . When the grip mode changes before and after the rotation of the housing (step S102: Yes), or when an image rotation instruction is received (step S103: Yes), the image rotation control unit 130 displays the image so as to face upward. Rotate (step S104). Then, the flowchart of FIG. 4B ends.
　一方、画像回転制御部１３０は、筐体が閾値以上回転していない場合（ステップＳ１００：Ｎｏ）、又は、画像回転指示を受け付けていない場合（ステップＳ１０３：Ｎｏ）、図４Ｂのフローチャートは終了する。 On the other hand, the image rotation control unit 130 ends the flowchart of FIG. 4B when the casing has not rotated more than the threshold value (step S100: No) or when the image rotation instruction has not been received (step S103: No). .
　例えば、画像回転指示を受け付ける時間を制限してもよい。例えば、画像回転制御部１３０は、筐体が所定の閾値以上回転し、かつ、筐体の回転の前後において把持態様が変化していないと判断した場合、筐体が閾値以上回転したと判断した時点から所定時間内に画像回転指示があった場合に、画像を回転させてもよい。また、所定の画面（又は、ボタン等）において画像回転指示を受け付ける構成とし、当該所定の画面の表示画面１２の表示時間を上記所定時間内に制限し、画像回転指示を受け付ける時間に制限してもよい。 For example, the time for receiving an image rotation instruction may be limited. For example, the image rotation control unit 130 determines that the casing has rotated more than the threshold when the casing has rotated more than a predetermined threshold and the gripping state has not changed before and after the rotation of the casing. The image may be rotated when there is an image rotation instruction within a predetermined time from the point in time. Further, the image rotation instruction is received on a predetermined screen (or a button), the display time of the display screen 12 of the predetermined screen is limited to the predetermined time, and the time for receiving the image rotation instruction is limited. Also good.
　図５は、画像の回転制御に関する説明図である。
　また、上記実施例においては、筐体が、表示画面１２の面方向を略維持したまま回転した場合における、画像回転制御部１３０の画像回転の制御について説明したが（図３Ａおよび３Ｂ参照）、表示画面１２の上下方向が反転するように表示画面１２の左右方向を軸にして筐体が回転した場合には（図５参照）、画像回転制御部１３０は、筐体の回転の前後において把持態様が変化していない場合であっても、回転後の筐体の姿勢に応じて表示中の画像を回転させるように制御するようにしてもよい。 FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram regarding image rotation control.
In the above embodiment, the image rotation control of the image rotation control unit 130 in the case where the casing rotates while maintaining the surface direction of the display screen 12 is substantially described (see FIGS. 3A and 3B). When the casing rotates about the horizontal direction of the display screen 12 so that the vertical direction of the display screen 12 is reversed (see FIG. 5), the image rotation control unit 130 holds the grip before and after the rotation of the casing. Even when the aspect has not changed, the image being displayed may be controlled to rotate according to the posture of the housing after the rotation.
　なお、図５の如く、筐体が、表示画面１２の上下方向が反転するように表示画面１２の左右方向を軸にして回転する場合の一例は、向き合った相手に画像を見せるため、筐体を持った手首を甲側に反り返し、相手側に表示画面１２を向ける場合である。
　図５に示すような筐体の回転の場合、通常、把持位置は変化しないが、見せた相手が画像を見易いように、表示中の画像を回転（具体的には、１８０度回転）させるとよい。 In addition, as shown in FIG. 5, an example of the case where the casing rotates about the horizontal direction of the display screen 12 so that the vertical direction of the display screen 12 is reversed is shown in FIG. This is a case in which the wrist with a bow is turned back toward the back side and the display screen 12 is directed toward the other side.
In the case of the rotation of the housing as shown in FIG. 5, the gripping position does not normally change, but the displayed image is rotated (specifically, rotated 180 degrees) so that the displayed partner can easily see the image. Good.
