Description

携帯端末装置、及び携帯端末装置の制御方法Portable terminal device and method for controlling portable terminal device
　本発明は、携帯端末装置、及び携帯端末装置の制御方法に関する。 The present invention relates to a mobile terminal device and a method for controlling the mobile terminal device.
　現在、タッチパネルを有する携帯端末装置が多数存在する。このようなタッチパネルは、一般的に、通常のモードでは、素手によるタッチを検出するようになっているが、手袋を装着した状態によるタッチは検出しないようになっている（以下、このようなモードを「通常モード」とする）。そのため、ユーザは、手袋を装着してタッチパネルを操作する場合、タッチパネルの感度を、通常モードよりも高くしたモード（以下、「高感度モード」とする）に変更する必要がある。例えば、静電容量方式のタッチパネルにおいて、素手よりも導電性が低い手袋で操作しようとした場合、このような必要性が生じてしまう。 Currently, there are many mobile terminal devices having touch panels. Such a touch panel generally detects a touch with a bare hand in a normal mode, but does not detect a touch due to a gloved state (hereinafter referred to as such a mode). To “normal mode”). Therefore, when the user wears gloves and operates the touch panel, the sensitivity of the touch panel needs to be changed to a mode higher than the normal mode (hereinafter referred to as “high sensitivity mode”). For example, in a capacitive touch panel, such a need arises when an operation is performed with a glove having lower conductivity than a bare hand.
　上述したように、通常モードでは、手袋を着用した状態では入力操作を行うことはできないため、手袋を装着したままタッチパネルを高感度モードに切り替える仕組みとして、機械的なスイッチが考えられる。しかし、この仕組みでは、手袋を装着した状態でも操作できる程度に大きなスイッチが必要となってしまう。大きなスイッチを携帯端末装置に付けてしまうと、携帯端末装置において、コンパクトかつスタイリッシュなデザイン性が強く求められているという実情に反してしまうという問題がある。これに対して、デザイン性を維持した小さなスイッチを携帯端末装置に付けるようにしたとしても、手袋を装着したままでは操作が困難であるため、スイッチを操作するために手袋を外すために手間がかかってしまい、利便性を損なってしまうという問題がある。 As described above, in the normal mode, an input operation cannot be performed while wearing gloves. Therefore, a mechanical switch is considered as a mechanism for switching the touch panel to the high sensitivity mode while wearing gloves. However, this mechanism requires a switch that is large enough to operate even when wearing gloves. If a large switch is attached to the portable terminal device, there is a problem that the portable terminal device is contrary to the fact that a compact and stylish design is strongly demanded. On the other hand, even if a small switch that maintains its design is attached to the mobile terminal device, it is difficult to operate with the gloves on, so it takes time to remove the gloves to operate the switch. There is a problem that it is costly and the convenience is impaired.
　また、携帯端末装置には、Ｓｔａｎｄｂｙ状態から表示ＯＮの状態への移行を、タッチパネルに対してタッチがされた場合に行うものがある。しかし、このような携帯端末装置でも、Ｓｔａｎｄｂｙ状態のときに、タッチパネルが通常モードとなっている場合やタッチパネルがタッチを検出しないモードになっている場合、手袋を装着したままＳｔａｎｄｂｙ状態から表示ＯＮの状態への移行を可能とする仕組みを考えると、上述と同様の問題に行きついてしまう。 Also, some portable terminal devices perform transition from the standby state to the display-on state when the touch panel is touched. However, even in such a portable terminal device, when the touch panel is in the normal mode or in the mode in which the touch panel does not detect the touch when in the standby state, the display is turned on from the standby state while wearing the gloves. Considering the mechanism that enables the transition to the state, the same problem as described above is reached.
　特許文献１には、手袋の有無によらず、オン／オフ操作を正常に行うことができるタッチパネル装置を提供することを目的とした技術が開示されている。特許文献１に開示のタッチパネル装置では、素手で接触したときのタッチセンサの抵抗値に基づき、素手であるか手袋装着状態であるかを判断する基準値が規定されている。タッチパネル装置は、タッチセンサが設けられたメカニカルスイッチが操作された際に、タッチセンサの抵抗値を測定すると共に、測定されたタッチセンサの抵抗値を基準値と比較する。タッチパネル装置は、タッチセンサの抵抗値が基準値より高い場合には、手袋装着状態と判断し、タッチパネルのオン／オフを判断する判断閾値を、素手のときの判断閾値より低く設定して、タッチパネルの感度を向上させる。タッチパネル装置は、タッチセンサの抵抗値が基準値より低い場合には、素手であると判断し、タッチパネルのオン／オフを判断する判断閾値を、素手のときの判断閾値に設定する。 Patent Document 1 discloses a technique aimed at providing a touch panel device that can normally perform an on / off operation regardless of the presence or absence of gloves. In the touch panel device disclosed in Patent Document 1, a reference value for determining whether the hand is a bare hand or a glove wearing state is defined based on the resistance value of the touch sensor when touched with the bare hand. The touch panel device measures a resistance value of the touch sensor when a mechanical switch provided with the touch sensor is operated, and compares the measured resistance value of the touch sensor with a reference value. When the resistance value of the touch sensor is higher than the reference value, the touch panel device determines that the glove is attached and sets a determination threshold value for determining whether the touch panel is turned on or off to be lower than a determination threshold value for bare hands. Improve the sensitivity. When the resistance value of the touch sensor is lower than the reference value, the touch panel device determines that the touch sensor is a bare hand, and sets a determination threshold value for determining whether the touch panel is turned on or off to a determination threshold value for a bare hand.
　しかし、特許文献１に開示のタッチパネル装置も、上述と同様に、機械的なスイッチが必要となってしまうという問題がある。 However, the touch panel device disclosed in Patent Document 1 also has a problem that a mechanical switch is required as described above.
　特許文献２には、ユーザの感度調整の開始を指示させることなく、静電パッドの感度調整を自動的かつ安全に行うことを目的とした携帯電話機が開示されている。携帯電話機は、傾き及び加速度を検出するモーションセンサを備える。携帯電話機は、携帯電話機がクレードルに取り付けられて充電端子に電圧が印加されたことをトリガーとして、一定期間待機した後、さらに携帯電話機の傾き、携帯電話機の動き及びユーザ操作を一定期間監視する。携帯電話機は、この監視結果が、携帯電話機が静止している等の起動条件を満たしている場合に、静電パッドの感度調整を開始する。 Patent Document 2 discloses a mobile phone for the purpose of automatically and safely adjusting the sensitivity of an electrostatic pad without instructing the user to start sensitivity adjustment. The mobile phone includes a motion sensor that detects tilt and acceleration. The cellular phone waits for a certain period of time triggered by the voltage applied to the charging terminal after the cellular phone is attached to the cradle, and then monitors the inclination of the cellular phone, the movement of the cellular phone, and the user operation for a certain period. The mobile phone starts adjusting the sensitivity of the electrostatic pad when the monitoring result satisfies a starting condition such as the mobile phone is stationary.
　しかし、特許文献２に開示の携帯電話機は、手袋を装着している場合であってもタッチパネルの感度を容易に調整することができるようにすることを目的としたものではない。 However, the mobile phone disclosed in Patent Document 2 is not intended to allow the sensitivity of the touch panel to be easily adjusted even when gloves are worn.

発明の実施の形態１．
　図１及び図２を参照して、本発明の実施の形態１にかかる携帯端末装置１の構成について説明する。図１は、本発明の実施の形態１にかかる携帯端末装置１の構成図である。図２は、本発明の実施の形態１にかかる携帯端末装置１の構成をより詳細に示した図である。 Embodiment 1 of the Invention
With reference to FIG.1 and FIG.2, the structure of the portable terminal device 1 concerning Embodiment 1 of this invention is demonstrated. FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram of the mobile terminal device 1 according to the first exemplary embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing in more detail the configuration of the mobile terminal device 1 according to the first exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
　携帯端末装置１は、表示部２、タッチ部３、加速度センサー４、タイマー１８、及びＭＰＵ１９を有する。表示部２は、表示制御部１７を有する。携帯端末装置１は、タッチパネルを有する携帯端末装置であれば、どのようなものであってもよい。携帯端末装置は、例えば、携帯電話、ＰＨＳ（Personal Handyphone System）、ＰＤＡ（Personal Digital Assistant）、スマートフォン、デジタルカメラ、ノートＰＣ（Personal Computer）等である。 The mobile terminal device 1 includes a display unit 2, a touch unit 3, an acceleration sensor 4, a timer 18, and an MPU 19. The display unit 2 includes a display control unit 17. The mobile terminal device 1 may be any device as long as it has a touch panel. The mobile terminal device is, for example, a mobile phone, a PHS (Personal Handyphone System), a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), a smartphone, a digital camera, a notebook PC (Personal Computer), or the like.
　加速度センサー４は、記憶部１１、割り込み部１２、比較部１３、及び検出部１４を有する。タッチ部３は、タッチ制御部１５及び検出部１６を有する。図１に示すように、表示部２と、タッチ部３とは、それぞれの領域の全部又は一部が重複して配置される。つまり、表示部２及びタッチ部３によって、タッチパネルが構成される。 The acceleration sensor 4 includes a storage unit 11, an interrupt unit 12, a comparison unit 13, and a detection unit 14. The touch unit 3 includes a touch control unit 15 and a detection unit 16. As shown in FIG. 1, the display unit 2 and the touch unit 3 are arranged so that all or a part of each region overlaps. That is, the display unit 2 and the touch unit 3 constitute a touch panel.
　記憶部１１は、予め定められた閾値が格納される。この閾値は、ユーザによって意図的に携帯端末装置１が振られた程度の加速度を示す。記憶部１１は、例えば、メモリ又はハードディスク等の記憶装置である。 The storage unit 11 stores a predetermined threshold value. This threshold value indicates an acceleration to the extent that the mobile terminal device 1 is intentionally shaken by the user. The storage unit 11 is a storage device such as a memory or a hard disk.
　割り込み部１２は、比較部１３による比較結果に従って、ＭＰＵ１９に割り込み信号を出力する。具体的には、割り込み部１２は、比較結果が、加速度検出部１４が検出した変動量が、記憶部１１に格納された閾値を超えていることを示している場合に、割り込み信号を出力する。 The interrupt unit 12 outputs an interrupt signal to the MPU 19 according to the comparison result by the comparison unit 13. Specifically, the interrupt unit 12 outputs an interrupt signal when the comparison result indicates that the fluctuation amount detected by the acceleration detection unit 14 exceeds the threshold value stored in the storage unit 11. .
　比較部１３は、加速度検出部１４が検出した変動量と、記憶部１１に格納された閾値とを比較する。具体的には、比較部１３は、変動量が閾値を超えているか否かを判定する。つまり、加速度検出部１４が検出した加速度が、閾値が示す加速度を超えているか否かが判定される。 The comparison unit 13 compares the fluctuation amount detected by the acceleration detection unit 14 with the threshold value stored in the storage unit 11. Specifically, the comparison unit 13 determines whether or not the fluctuation amount exceeds a threshold value. That is, it is determined whether or not the acceleration detected by the acceleration detection unit 14 exceeds the acceleration indicated by the threshold value.
　加速度検出部１４は、携帯端末装置１に与えられる重力の変動量を検出する。つまり、加速度検出部１４は、変動量として、携帯電話装置１の加速度を検出する。 The acceleration detection unit 14 detects the amount of gravity fluctuation given to the mobile terminal device 1. That is, the acceleration detection unit 14 detects the acceleration of the mobile phone device 1 as the fluctuation amount.
　タッチ制御部１５は、タッチ検出部１６において、ユーザからのタッチを検出する感度を、通常モードと高感度モードとに切り替える。通常モードは、ユーザからの素手によるタッチを検出することができるが、素手よりも導電性の低い手袋によるタッチは検出することができない感度である。高感度モードは、ユーザからの素手によるタッチ及び手袋によるタッチの両方を検出することができる感度である。 The touch control unit 15 switches the sensitivity for detecting a touch from the user between the normal mode and the high sensitivity mode in the touch detection unit 16. The normal mode is a sensitivity that can detect a touch with a bare hand from a user but cannot detect a touch with a glove having a lower conductivity than a bare hand. The high sensitivity mode is a sensitivity capable of detecting both a touch with a bare hand and a touch with a glove from a user.
　タッチ検出部１６は、ユーザからのタッチパネルに対するタッチを検出する。タッチ検出部１６は、検出内容をＭＰＵ１９に通知する。 The touch detection unit 16 detects a touch on the touch panel from the user. The touch detection unit 16 notifies the detected content to the MPU 19.
　表示制御部１７は、待ち受け画面等の任意の画面を表示する。表示制御部１７は、表示部２が有する表示パネルに任意の画面を表示する。表示パネルは、例えば、液晶パネル、プラズマパネル、又は有機ＥＬパネル等である。 The display control unit 17 displays an arbitrary screen such as a standby screen. The display control unit 17 displays an arbitrary screen on the display panel included in the display unit 2. The display panel is, for example, a liquid crystal panel, a plasma panel, or an organic EL panel.
　タイマー１８は、ＭＰＵ１９によって制御されて、一定時間をカウントする。この一定の時間は、予め任意の時間を定めるようにしてよい。タイマー１８は、一定時間のカウントが完了したときに、一定時間の計測終了をＭＰＵ１９に通知する。 The timer 18 is controlled by the MPU 19 and counts a certain time. This fixed time may be set in advance to an arbitrary time. The timer 18 notifies the MPU 19 of the end of the measurement for a certain time when the certain time is counted.
　ＭＰＵ１９は、加速度センサー４からの割り込み信号の出力に応じて、携帯端末装置１をＳｔａｎｄｂｙ状態からＷａｋｅＵｐ状態に移行させる。このとき、ＭＰＵ１９は、通常モードでユーザからの入力が検出されたか否かに基づいて、タッチ制御部１５に対して通常モードから高感度モードへの切り替えを指示する。また、ＭＰＵ１９は、表示部１７に対して待ち受け画面の表示を指示する。 The MPU 19 shifts the mobile terminal device 1 from the Standby state to the WakeUp state in response to the output of the interrupt signal from the acceleration sensor 4. At this time, the MPU 19 instructs the touch control unit 15 to switch from the normal mode to the high sensitivity mode based on whether or not an input from the user is detected in the normal mode. Further, the MPU 19 instructs the display unit 17 to display a standby screen.
　続いて、図３を参照して、本発明の実施の形態１にかかる携帯端末装置１の動作について説明する。図３は、本発明の実施の形態１にかかる携帯端末装置１の動作を示すフローチャートである。 Subsequently, the operation of the mobile terminal device 1 according to the first exemplary embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the operation of the mobile terminal device 1 according to the first exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
　まず、携帯端末装置１は、Ｓｔａｎｄｂｙ状態であるものとする。携帯端末装置１のＳｔａｎｄｂｙ状態とは、加速度センサー４がＯＮ、タッチ部３がＯＦＦ、ＭＰＵ１９がＳｔａｎｄｂｙ、表示部２がＯＦＦの状態である（Ｓ３１）。 First, it is assumed that the mobile terminal device 1 is in the Standby state. The standby state of the mobile terminal device 1 is a state where the acceleration sensor 4 is ON, the touch unit 3 is OFF, the MPU 19 is standby, and the display unit 2 is OFF (S31).
　ここで、加速度センサー４がＯＮの状態とは、加速度センサー４が、携帯端末装置１の加速度を検出し、検出した加速度と記憶部１１に記憶された閾値とを比較して、ＭＰＵ１９に割り込み信号を出力できる状態である。タッチ部３がＯＦＦの状態とは、タッチ部３が、タッチ検出部１６においてタッチを検出しない非検出モードとなっている状態である。ＭＰＵ１９がＳｔａｎｄｂｙの状態とは、ＭＰＵ１９が動作を停止している状態である。表示部２がＯＦＦの状態とは、画面を非表示としている状態である。 Here, the state in which the acceleration sensor 4 is ON means that the acceleration sensor 4 detects the acceleration of the mobile terminal device 1, compares the detected acceleration with the threshold value stored in the storage unit 11, and sends an interrupt signal to the MPU 19. Can be output. The state in which the touch unit 3 is OFF is a state in which the touch unit 3 is in a non-detection mode in which a touch is not detected by the touch detection unit 16. The MPU 19 in the standby state is a state where the MPU 19 has stopped operating. The state where the display unit 2 is OFF is a state where the screen is not displayed.
　ユーザは、手袋を装着したまま携帯端末装置１を高感度モードとして起動して画面を表示させたい場合、タッチ部３に手袋を装着した手の指又は手のひらの部分が触れるように握って携帯端末装置１を振る。 When the user wants to start up the mobile terminal device 1 in the high sensitivity mode and display the screen while wearing gloves, the user holds the touch part 3 so that the finger or palm part of the hand wearing the gloves touches the mobile terminal. Shake device 1.
　加速度検出部１４は、携帯端末装置１４に与えられた加速度を検出して、検出した加速度を示す加速度情報を生成する。加速度検出部１４は、生成した加速度情報を比較部１３に出力する。比較部１３は、加速度検出部１４から出力され加速度情報が示す加速度と、記憶部１１に格納された閾値とを比較して、加速度が閾値を超えたか否かを判定する（Ｓ３２）。比較部１３は、比較結果を示す比較結果情報を生成して、生成した比較結果情報を割り込み部１２に出力する。比較結果情報は、例えば、検出した加速度が閾値を超えているか否かを示す情報である。 The acceleration detector 14 detects the acceleration given to the mobile terminal device 14 and generates acceleration information indicating the detected acceleration. The acceleration detection unit 14 outputs the generated acceleration information to the comparison unit 13. The comparison unit 13 compares the acceleration output from the acceleration detection unit 14 and indicated by the acceleration information with the threshold value stored in the storage unit 11, and determines whether the acceleration exceeds the threshold value (S32). The comparison unit 13 generates comparison result information indicating the comparison result, and outputs the generated comparison result information to the interrupt unit 12. The comparison result information is information indicating whether or not the detected acceleration exceeds a threshold value, for example.
　比較結果情報が、加速度が閾値を超えたことを示している場合、割り込み部１２は、割り込み信号をＭＰＵ１９に出力する（Ｓ３２：ＹＥＳ）。比較結果情報が、加速度が閾値を超えていないことを示している場合、割り込み部１２は、割り込み信号をＭＰＵ１９に出力しない（Ｓ３２：ＮＯ）。この場合、後述するステップＳ３３以降の処理は実行されないため、携帯端末装置１はＳｔａｎｄｂｙ状態を維持する。 When the comparison result information indicates that the acceleration exceeds the threshold, the interrupt unit 12 outputs an interrupt signal to the MPU 19 (S32: YES). When the comparison result information indicates that the acceleration does not exceed the threshold value, the interrupt unit 12 does not output an interrupt signal to the MPU 19 (S32: NO). In this case, since the process after step S33 mentioned later is not performed, the portable terminal device 1 maintains a Standby state.
　ＭＰＵ１９は、割り込み部１２からの割り込み信号の出力に応じて、Ｓｔａｎｄｂｙ状態からＷａｋｅＵｐ状態に移行する。ＷａｋｅＵＰ状態とは、ＭＰＵ１９が動作している状態である。ＭＰＵ１９は、通常モードでのＯＮを指示する指示情報をタッチ部３に出力する。タッチ部３のタッチ制御部１５は、ＭＰＵ１９からの指示情報に応じて、タッチ検出部１６を通常モードに切り替える（Ｓ３３）。通常モードに移行したタッチ検出部１６は、ユーザからタッチパネルに対して複数箇所がタッチされているか否かを判定する（Ｓ３４）。 The MPU 19 shifts from the Standby state to the WakeUp state in response to the output of the interrupt signal from the interrupt unit 12. The WakeUP state is a state in which the MPU 19 is operating. The MPU 19 outputs instruction information for instructing ON in the normal mode to the touch unit 3. The touch control unit 15 of the touch unit 3 switches the touch detection unit 16 to the normal mode according to the instruction information from the MPU 19 (S33). The touch detection unit 16 that has shifted to the normal mode determines whether or not a plurality of locations are touched on the touch panel by the user (S34).
　複数個所のタッチが検出できた場合（Ｓ３４：ＮＯ）、タッチ検出部１６は、複数個所のタッチが検出できたことを通知する通知情報をＭＰＵ１９に出力する。ＭＰＵ１９は、タッチ検出部１６からの通知情報に応じて、待ち受け画面の表示を指示する指示情報を表示部２に出力する。表示部２の表示制御部１７は、ＭＰＵ１９からの指示情報に応じて、待ち受け画面を表示する。 When a plurality of touches can be detected (S34: NO), the touch detection unit 16 outputs notification information for notifying that a plurality of touches have been detected to the MPU 19. In response to the notification information from the touch detection unit 16, the MPU 19 outputs instruction information for instructing display of the standby screen to the display unit 2. The display control unit 17 of the display unit 2 displays a standby screen according to the instruction information from the MPU 19.
　このように、通常モードでタッチが検出された場合は、ユーザが素手で携帯端末装置１を把持して振ることによって、携帯端末装置１を起動したことになる。そのため、通常モードのまま待ち受け画面を表示して、素手による携帯端末装置１の使用を可能とする。 Thus, when a touch is detected in the normal mode, the user has activated the mobile terminal device 1 by holding and shaking the mobile terminal device 1 with his bare hands. Therefore, the standby screen is displayed in the normal mode, and the mobile terminal device 1 can be used with bare hands.
　複数個所のタッチが検出できなかった場合（Ｓ３４：ＹＥＳ）、タッチ検出部１６は、複数個所のタッチが検出できなかったことを通知する通知情報をＭＰＵ１９に出力する（Ｓ３５）。ＭＰＵ１９は、タッチ検出部１６からの通知情報に応じて、タイマーの開始を指示する指示情報をタイマー１８に出力する。タイマー１８は、ＭＰＵ１９からの指示情報に応じて、タイマーを開始する（Ｓ３６）。つまり、所定の時間のカウントが開始される。 When a plurality of touches cannot be detected (S34: YES), the touch detection unit 16 outputs notification information notifying that a plurality of touches cannot be detected to the MPU 19 (S35). The MPU 19 outputs instruction information for instructing the start of the timer to the timer 18 in accordance with the notification information from the touch detection unit 16. The timer 18 starts a timer according to the instruction information from the MPU 19 (S36). That is, counting for a predetermined time is started.
　さらに、ＭＰＵ１９は、高感度モードへの切り替えを指示する指示情報をタッチ部３に出力する。タッチ部３のタッチ制御部１５は、ＭＰＵ１９からの指示情報に応じて、タッチ検出部１６を高感度モードに切り替える（Ｓ３７）。高感度モードに移行したタッチ検出部１６は、ユーザからタッチパネルに対して複数箇所がタッチされているか否かを判定する（Ｓ３８）。 Furthermore, the MPU 19 outputs instruction information for instructing switching to the high sensitivity mode to the touch unit 3. The touch control unit 15 of the touch unit 3 switches the touch detection unit 16 to the high sensitivity mode according to the instruction information from the MPU 19 (S37). The touch detection unit 16 that has shifted to the high sensitivity mode determines whether or not a plurality of locations are touched on the touch panel by the user (S38).
　複数個所のタッチが検出できた場合（Ｓ３８：ＹＥＳ）、タッチ検出部１６は、複数個所のタッチが検出できたことを通知する通知情報をＭＰＵ１９に出力する。ＭＰＵ１９は、タッチ検出部１６からの通知情報に応じて、待ち受け画面の表示を指示する指示情報を表示部２に出力する（Ｓ３９）。表示部２の表示制御部１７は、ＭＰＵ１９からの指示情報に応じて、待ち受け画面を表示する。また、ＭＰＵ１９は、タイマーの停止を指示する指示情報をタイマー１８に出力する。タイマー１８は、ＭＰＵ１９からの指示情報に応じて、タイマーを停止する。つまり、所定の時間のカウントを停止する。これによって、タッチ検出部１６は、高感度モードを維持する。 When a plurality of touches can be detected (S38: YES), the touch detection unit 16 outputs notification information notifying that a plurality of touches have been detected to the MPU 19. In response to the notification information from the touch detection unit 16, the MPU 19 outputs instruction information for instructing display of the standby screen to the display unit 2 (S39). The display control unit 17 of the display unit 2 displays a standby screen according to the instruction information from the MPU 19. Further, the MPU 19 outputs instruction information for instructing to stop the timer to the timer 18. The timer 18 stops the timer according to the instruction information from the MPU 19. That is, counting for a predetermined time is stopped. Accordingly, the touch detection unit 16 maintains the high sensitivity mode.
　このように、高感度モードでタッチが検出された場合、ユーザが手袋を装着した状態で携帯端末装置１を把持して振ることによって、携帯端末装置１を起動したことになる。そのため、高感度モードのまま待ち受け画面を表示して、手袋による携帯端末装置１の使用を可能とする。また、ここまでの処理のように、素手によるタッチを検出できない場合に、高感度モードに移行させるようにすることで、ユーザが素手であるのに高感度モードに移行させてしまうことを防止することができる。これによれば、高感度モードのタッチパネルに対して手袋をせずに素手でタッチをしてしまうと感度が高すぎ、誤操作が発生してしまうという問題があるが、それを防止することができる。 In this way, when a touch is detected in the high sensitivity mode, the mobile terminal device 1 is activated by gripping and shaking the mobile terminal device 1 while wearing a glove. Therefore, the standby screen is displayed in the high sensitivity mode, and the portable terminal device 1 can be used with gloves. In addition, when the touch with the bare hand cannot be detected as in the process so far, the transition to the high sensitivity mode is prevented by preventing the user from making the transition to the high sensitivity mode even if the user is bare. be able to. According to this, there is a problem that if the touch panel of the high sensitivity mode is touched with bare hands without wearing gloves, the sensitivity is too high and an erroneous operation occurs, which can be prevented. .
　複数個所のタッチが検出されなかった場合（Ｓ３８：ＮＯ）、複数箇所のタッチの検出（Ｓ３８）が、タイマー１８による所定の時間のカウントが終了するまで継続される（Ｓ３８：ＮＯ、Ｓ４１：ＮＯ）。タイマー１８は、所定の時間のカウントが終了した場合（Ｓ４１：ＹＥＳ）、ＭＰＵ１９に所定の時間が経過したことを通知する通知情報をＭＰＵ１９に出力する。ＭＰＵ１９は、タイマー１８からの通知情報に応じて、タッチパネルのＯＦＦを指示する指示情報をタッチ部３に出力する。タッチ部３のタッチ制御部１５は、ＭＰＵ１９からの指示情報に応じて、タッチ検出部１６を非検出モードに切り替える。そして、ＭＰＵ１９は、動作を停止してＳｔａｎｄｂｙ状態に移行する（Ｓ３１）。 When touches at a plurality of locations are not detected (S38: NO), detection of touches at a plurality of locations (S38) is continued until the predetermined time is counted by the timer 18 (S38: NO, S41: NO). ). When the predetermined time has been counted (S41: YES), the timer 18 outputs notification information to the MPU 19 that notifies the MPU 19 that the predetermined time has elapsed. The MPU 19 outputs instruction information for instructing to turn off the touch panel to the touch unit 3 in accordance with the notification information from the timer 18. The touch control unit 15 of the touch unit 3 switches the touch detection unit 16 to the non-detection mode according to the instruction information from the MPU 19. Then, the MPU 19 stops operating and shifts to the Standby state (S31).
　このように所定の時間の間、高感度モードでのユーザからのタッチが検出できなかった場合は、携帯端末装置１を再びＳｔａｎｄｂｙ状態に移行するようにしている。これによれば、ユーザが携帯端末装置１を持ち運んでいるときに、偶然意図しない振動が携帯端末装置１に与えられた場合であっても、高感度モードに移行して携帯端末装置１が起動してしまうことを防止することができる。または、例えば、極めて厚手の手袋等のように、導電性がほとんどなく、高感度モードでもユーザからタッチを検出できないような手袋をユーザが装着している場合に、携帯端末装置１が起動したままとなってしまうことを防止することができる。また、このように携帯端末装置１の無駄な起動を防止することによって、無駄な消費電力を低減することもできる。 Thus, when a touch from the user in the high sensitivity mode cannot be detected for a predetermined time, the mobile terminal device 1 is again shifted to the Standby state. According to this, even when the user is carrying the mobile terminal device 1, even if a vibration that is not intended is accidentally given to the mobile terminal device 1, the mobile terminal device 1 is activated by entering the high sensitivity mode. Can be prevented. Or, for example, when the user wears a glove that has almost no conductivity and cannot detect a touch from the user even in the high sensitivity mode, such as a very thick glove, the mobile terminal device 1 remains activated. Can be prevented. Moreover, useless power consumption can also be reduced by preventing the useless starting of the portable terminal device 1 in this way.
　以上に説明したように、本実施の形態１によれば、Ｓｔａｎｄｂｙ状態から表示ＯＮ状態に移行させるスイッチや、通常モードから高感度モードに切り替えるスイッチを備える必要なく、手袋を装着した場合であっても表示ＯＮ、かつ、高感度モードへの切り替えをすることができる。 As described above, according to the first embodiment, there is no need to provide a switch for shifting from the standby state to the display ON state, or a switch for switching from the normal mode to the high sensitivity mode, and when wearing gloves. Can also be turned on and switched to the high sensitivity mode.

Therefore, it is possible to easily adjust the sensitivity of the touch panel even when wearing gloves without impairing the design.
　また、以上に説明した、本実施の形態１にかかる携帯端末装置１では、加速度センサー４によって所定の加速度を超える加速度が検出された場合に、タッチパネルの感度を、通常モードより高い高感度モードに設定するようにしている、とも言える。 Moreover, in the portable terminal device 1 according to the first embodiment described above, when the acceleration sensor 4 detects an acceleration exceeding a predetermined acceleration, the sensitivity of the touch panel is set to a high sensitivity mode higher than the normal mode. It can be said that it is set.

発明の実施の形態２．
　続いて、本発明の実施の形態２について説明する。なお、本発明の実施の形態２にかかる携帯端末装置１の構成は、本発明の実施の形態１にかかる携帯端末装置１と同様であるため、説明を省略する。 Embodiment 2 of the Invention
Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. In addition, since the structure of the portable terminal device 1 concerning Embodiment 2 of this invention is the same as that of the portable terminal device 1 concerning Embodiment 1 of this invention, description is abbreviate | omitted.
　続いて、図４を参照して、本発明の実施の形態２にかかる携帯端末装置１の動作について説明する。図４は、本発明の実施の形態２にかかる携帯端末装置１の動作を示すフローチャートである。なお、図３を参照して説明した本発明の実施の形態２にかかる携帯端末装置１の動作と同様の処理については、適宜省略して説明する。 Subsequently, the operation of the mobile terminal device 1 according to the second exemplary embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the operation of the mobile terminal device 1 according to the second exemplary embodiment of the present invention. In addition, the process similar to the operation | movement of the portable terminal device 1 concerning Embodiment 2 of this invention demonstrated with reference to FIG. 3 is abbreviate | omitted suitably, and is demonstrated.
　まず、携帯端末装置１は、通常状態であるものとする。携帯端末装置１の通常状態とは、加速度センサー４がＯＮ、タッチ部３が通常モード、ＭＰＵ１９がＯＮ、表示部２がＯＮの状態である（Ｓ５１）。ＭＰＵ１９がＯＮの状態とは、ＭＰＵ１９が上述したＷａｋｅＵＰ状態となっていることである。表示部２がＯＮ状態とは、画面を表示している状態のことである。つまり、通常状態では、素手でタッチ部３をタッチして携帯端末装置１を操作することができる。 First, it is assumed that the mobile terminal device 1 is in a normal state. The normal state of the mobile terminal device 1 is a state in which the acceleration sensor 4 is ON, the touch unit 3 is in the normal mode, the MPU 19 is ON, and the display unit 2 is ON (S51). The MPU 19 being in the ON state means that the MPU 19 is in the Wake UP state described above. The ON state of the display unit 2 is a state where a screen is displayed. In other words, in the normal state, the mobile terminal device 1 can be operated by touching the touch unit 3 with bare hands.
　ユーザは、この通常状態から、手袋を装着したまま携帯端末装置１を高感度モードに切り替えたい場合、タッチ部３に手袋を装着した手の指又は手のひらの部分が触れるように握って携帯端末装置１を振る。 When the user wants to switch the portable terminal device 1 to the high sensitivity mode while wearing gloves from this normal state, the user grasps the touch unit 3 so that the finger or palm part of the hand wearing the gloves touches the portable terminal device. Shake 1
　加速度センサー４は、ステップＳ３２と同様に、携帯端末装置１に与えられた加速度が所定の加速度を超えた場合、割り込み信号をＭＰＵ１９に出力する（Ｓ５２：ＹＥＳ）。携帯端末装置１に与えられた加速度が所定の加速度を超えない場合（Ｓ５２：ＮＯ）、加速度センサー４は割り込みを出力せず、後述するステップＳ５３以降の処理は実行されないため、携帯端末装置１は通常状態を維持する（Ｓ５１）。 The acceleration sensor 4 outputs an interrupt signal to the MPU 19 when the acceleration given to the mobile terminal device 1 exceeds a predetermined acceleration, similarly to step S32 (S52: YES). When the acceleration given to the mobile terminal device 1 does not exceed the predetermined acceleration (S52: NO), the acceleration sensor 4 does not output an interrupt, and the processing after step S53 described later is not executed. The normal state is maintained (S51).
　ＭＰＵ１９は、通常状態のときに割り込み部１２から割り込み信号が出力された場合、タッチされているか否かの判定を指示する指示情報をタッチ検出部１６に出力する。タッチ検出部１６は、ＭＰＵ１９からの指示情報に応じて、ステップＳ３４と同様に、ユーザからタッチパネルに対して複数箇所がタッチされているか否かを判定して、判定結果を通知する通知情報をＭＰＵ１９に出力する（Ｓ５３）。 When the interrupt signal is output from the interrupt unit 12 in the normal state, the MPU 19 outputs instruction information for instructing whether or not it is touched to the touch detection unit 16. The touch detection unit 16 determines whether or not a plurality of locations are touched on the touch panel by the user in accordance with the instruction information from the MPU 19 and notifies the MPU 19 of notification information for notifying the determination result. (S53).
　複数個所のタッチが検出できた場合（Ｓ５３：ＮＯ）、ＭＰＵ１９は、通常状態を維持する（Ｓ５１）。これによれば、ユーザが素手で携帯端末装置１を操作しているときに偶然意図しない振動が携帯端末装置１に与えられた場合であっても、通常モードを維持して携帯端末装置１の操作を継続することができる。 When the touches at a plurality of locations are detected (S53: NO), the MPU 19 maintains the normal state (S51). According to this, even when the user operates the mobile terminal device 1 with his / her bare hand, the mobile terminal device 1 is maintained in the normal mode even when the mobile terminal device 1 is given unintentional vibration. The operation can be continued.
　複数個所のタッチが検出できなかった場合（Ｓ５３：ＹＥＳ）、ＭＰＵ１９は、ステップＳ３５～３７と同様に、タイマーの開始、及び、高感度モードへの切り替えを行う。そして、タッチ検出部１６は、ステップＳ３８、Ｓ４１と同様に、ユーザからタッチパネルに対して複数箇所がタッチされているか否かを判定する（Ｓ５４、Ｓ５９）。 When the touches at a plurality of locations cannot be detected (S53: YES), the MPU 19 starts the timer and switches to the high sensitivity mode as in steps S35 to S37. And the touch detection part 16 determines whether several places are touched with respect to the touch panel from the user similarly to step S38, S41 (S54, S59).
　複数個所のタッチが検出できた場合（Ｓ５７：ＹＥＳ）、ＭＰＵ１９は、実施の形態１と同様に、タッチ検出部１６からの通知情報に応じて、タイマーを停止してタッチ検出部１６の高感度モードを維持する（Ｓ５８）。 When a plurality of touches can be detected (S57: YES), the MPU 19 stops the timer in accordance with the notification information from the touch detection unit 16 in the same manner as in the first embodiment, and the high sensitivity of the touch detection unit 16 is detected. The mode is maintained (S58).
　複数個所のタッチが検出されなかった場合（Ｓ５７：ＮＯ）、ステップＳ３８、Ｓ４１と同様に、複数箇所のタッチの検出（Ｓ５７）が、タイマー１８による所定の時間のカウントが終了するまで継続される（Ｓ５７：ＮＯ、Ｓ５９：ＮＯ）。タイマー１８は、所定の時間のカウントが終了した場合（Ｓ５９：ＹＥＳ）、ＭＰＵ１９に所定の時間が経過したことを通知する通知情報をＭＰＵ１９に出力する。ＭＰＵ１９は、タイマー１８からの通知情報に応じて、通常モードへの切り替えを指示する指示情報をタッチ部３に出力する。タッチ部３のタッチ制御部１５は、ＭＰＵ１９からの指示情報に応じて、タッチ検出部１６を通常モードに切り替える（Ｓ５１）。 When touches at a plurality of places are not detected (S57: NO), detection of touches at a plurality of places (S57) is continued until a predetermined time is counted by the timer 18, as in steps S38 and S41. (S57: NO, S59: NO). When the predetermined time has been counted (S59: YES), the timer 18 outputs notification information to the MPU 19 that notifies the MPU 19 that the predetermined time has elapsed. The MPU 19 outputs instruction information for instructing switching to the normal mode to the touch unit 3 according to the notification information from the timer 18. The touch control unit 15 of the touch unit 3 switches the touch detection unit 16 to the normal mode according to the instruction information from the MPU 19 (S51).
　このように所定の時間の間、ユーザからのタッチが検出できなかった場合は、携帯端末装置１を再び通常状態に移行するようにしている。これによれば、ユーザが携帯端末装置１を持ち運んでいるとき又は素手で操作しているときに、偶然意図しない振動が携帯端末装置１に与えられた場合であっても、携帯端末装置１が高感度モードに移行することを防止することができる。 As described above, when the touch from the user cannot be detected for a predetermined time, the mobile terminal device 1 is again shifted to the normal state. According to this, even when the user carries the mobile terminal device 1 or operates it with bare hands, even if the mobile terminal device 1 is given an unintentional vibration, the mobile terminal device 1 Transition to the high sensitivity mode can be prevented.
　実施の形態１では、Ｓｔａｎｄｂｙ状態から高感度モードの表示ＯＮ状態（高感度状態）に移行する場合について例示したが、本実施の形態２によれば、通常モードの表示ＯＮ状態（通常状態）から高感度モードの表示ＯＮ状態にも、切り替えるスイッチを備える必要なく、手袋を装着したまま切り替えをすることができる。 In the first embodiment, the case of transition from the standby state to the display ON state (high sensitivity state) in the high sensitivity mode is illustrated, but according to the second embodiment, the display mode is switched from the display ON state (normal state) in the normal mode. Even in the display ON state of the high sensitivity mode, it is not necessary to provide a switch for switching, and switching can be performed while wearing gloves.
　なお、本発明は上記実施の形態に限られたものではなく、趣旨を逸脱しない範囲で適宜変更することが可能である。 Note that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be appropriately changed without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
　本実施の形態では、高感度モードでのユーザからのタッチを、タイマー１８によって計測される所定の時間の間に検出されないか否かを判定する（Ｓ３８、Ｓ５７）ようにしたが、これに限られない。これと同様に、通常モードでのユーザからのタッチを、タイマー１８によって計測される所定の時間の間に検出されないか否かを判定する（Ｓ３４、Ｓ５３）ようにしてもよい。 In the present embodiment, it is determined whether or not a touch from the user in the high sensitivity mode is detected during a predetermined time measured by the timer 18 (S38, S57). I can't. Similarly, it may be determined whether or not a touch from the user in the normal mode is detected during a predetermined time measured by the timer 18 (S34, S53).
　本実施の形態では、通常モードと、高感度モードの２つのモードでのタッチの検出を判定することによって、タッチパネルのモードを決定するようにしているが、これに限られない。３つ以上のモードで判定をするようにしてもよい。例えば、通常モードと、通常モードよりも感度の高い高感度モード１と、高感度モード１よりも感度の高い高感度モード２を用意するようにしてもよい。この場合は、例えば、通常モード及び高感度モード１でタッチを検出できず、高感度モード２でタッチを検出できたときに、タッチパネルを高感度モード２に設定するようにしてもよい。 In this embodiment, the touch panel mode is determined by determining the touch detection in the normal mode and the high sensitivity mode, but the present invention is not limited to this. The determination may be made in three or more modes. For example, a normal mode, a high sensitivity mode 1 having higher sensitivity than the normal mode, and a high sensitivity mode 2 having higher sensitivity than the high sensitivity mode 1 may be prepared. In this case, for example, when the touch cannot be detected in the normal mode and the high sensitivity mode 1 and the touch can be detected in the high sensitivity mode 2, the touch panel may be set to the high sensitivity mode 2.
　本実施の形態では、ユーザからのタッチ検出の判定（Ｓ３４、Ｓ３８、Ｓ５３、Ｓ５７）において、複数個所のタッチを検出するようにしているが、これに限られない。例えば、このように所定数以上の複数個所のタッチを検出したか否かを判定するようにしてもよく、所定の面積以上のタッチを検出したか否かを判定するようにしてもよく、一個所でもタッチを検出したか否かを判定するようにしてもよい。しかし、好ましくは、本実施の形態のように、複数個所のタッチを検出するようにすることで、ユーザが意図せずに偶然に何らかのものが触れてしまってタッチを検出したと判定されてしまう可能性を低減することができる。 In the present embodiment, in the touch detection determination (S34, S38, S53, S57) from the user, a plurality of touches are detected, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, it may be determined whether or not a plurality of touches of a predetermined number or more are detected in this way, or it may be determined whether or not a touch of a predetermined area or more is detected. Alternatively, it may be determined whether or not a touch is detected. However, preferably, by detecting a plurality of touches as in the present embodiment, it is determined that a touch has been detected by touching something accidentally by the user without intention. The possibility can be reduced.
