Description

display

This invention relates to a display device having a display means and an input means.

In conventional display devices, screen switching, output of a control signal to an external device, and the like are performed by simply pressing a button displayed on the GUI (see, for example, Patent Document 1). There is no interlock function to prevent unintentional processing caused by an operator entering carelessly or an operator accustomed to the operation neglecting to check the menu.

Patent 4813392 (3rd page, Fig. 2)

Conventional displays require the operator to press only one button as a means of confirming the input, so the operator may inadvertently input or the operator familiar with the operation will check the menu. There is a problem that unintended processing is performed by neglecting input.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to obtain a display device that prevents unintended processing due to inadvertent input or input that is not confirmed by an operator accustomed to the operation. To do.

In the display device according to the present invention, the display unit for displaying the route, the data storage unit for storing the route data stored in advance, and the display unit are installed so as to receive the input of the tracing operation of the operator. The trace data of the tracing operation is compared with the trace data of the tracing operation input to the input means by the operator tracing the path displayed on the input means and the display means, and the path data stored in the data storage unit. Is provided with a processing unit that outputs a control signal to an external device when it matches the path data stored in the data storage unit.

The present invention compares the trace data of the tracing operation input to the input means by tracing the path displayed on the display means with the path data stored in the data storage unit, and trace data of the tracing operation. Is provided with a processing unit that outputs a control signal to an external device when it matches the path data stored in the data storage unit. Unintentional processing can be prevented.

Embodiment 1 FIG.
FIG. 1 is an overall configuration diagram of a display showing Embodiment 1 of the present invention. The operator 1 operates the input means 3 of the display 2, and the overall processing unit 4 performs processing according to the input from the input means 3. Here, the input means 3 is installed so as to overlap the display means 7. In addition to the input means 3, the display means 7, and the overall processing section 4, the display 2 has a data storage section 5, a display generation section 6, and an external device connection I / F 8, and the data storage section 5 is route data. 501 and display data 502 are stored. The display 2 is connected to an external device 9 such as a sequencer through an external device connection I / F 8. Further, although not shown here, the external device 9 is connected to an industrial machine such as a robot.

FIG. 2 is an example of a screen of the display means 7 and the input means 3 installed on the display means 7. On the display means 7 of the display 2, the GUIs 7 a 1, 7 a 2, 7 b, 7 c, 7 d , 7e, 7f are displayed. Note that data for displaying each part such as 7a1, 7a2, 7b, 7c, 7d, 7e, 7f is stored as display data 502 in the data storage unit 5. Reference numerals 7a1 and 7a2 are paths displayed based on the path data 501, and when an operation is to be executed, the slide switch 7d is moved from the start point 7b to the end point 7c of the arrow to perform a continuous tracing operation. If the operation is not executed, the cancel button 7e may be pressed. In this example, the tracing operation is performed, and the color of the portion 7a1 on the route where the tracing operation is completed is changed. For the portion 7a2 where the color has not changed, when the tracing operation is performed by moving the slide switch 7d, the color changes to the same color as 7a1. The function of changing the color provides feedback to the operation for the operator and facilitates the tracing operation.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing an example of a control procedure in the display. First, in S11, the display generation unit 6 generates screen data based on the route data 501 and the display data 502 stored in the data storage unit 5, and transmits the screen data to the display means 7 and the overall processing unit 4. The transmission to the display means 7 is for displaying the screen, and the transmission to the overall processing unit 4 is what the processing by the overall processing unit 4 is performed by pressing the position on the screen, or which tracing operation This is for recognizing processing information corresponding to the screen data such as what processing is performed. Next, in step S12, the overall processing unit 4 determines whether the cancel button 7e has been pressed. If not, the overall processing unit 4 proceeds to step S13. In S13, the overall processing unit 4 determines whether the input to the input means 3 starts the tracing operation. If the tracing operation starts, the process proceeds to S14, and if not, the process returns to S12. As a result, unintended processing due to inadvertent input or lack of operator confirmation can be prevented. In S14, the overall processing unit 4 generates trajectory data from the trajectory of the tracing operation and compares it with the route data stored in the data storage unit. If the trace data of the tracing operation matches the route data stored in the data storage unit, the process proceeds to S15, and if not, the process proceeds to S16. When all the route data stored in the data storage unit matches the trace data of the tracing operation, it is determined that the trace data of the tracing operation matches the route data stored in the data storage unit. That is, the process proceeds to S16 until the tracing operation is completed, and proceeds to S15 when completed.

In this example, after S15, a control signal is transmitted to the external device, the status of the external device is obtained, and the status of the external device is displayed on the screen, but it is stored in the trace data and data storage unit of the tracing operation. The processing performed when the route data matches is not limited to this example. In S15, in order to control the external device 9, the overall processing unit 4 transmits, for example, a signal for starting an operation to the external device 9 through the external device I / F IV8. Next, in S17, the overall processing unit 4 acquires data indicating the state of the external device 9 such as the operation speed through the external device connection I / F 8 and transmits the data to the display generation unit 6. In S18, the display generation unit 6 generates screen data based on the data indicating the state of the external device 9 transmitted from the overall processing unit 4 and the display data 502, and transmits the screen data to the display unit 7. 9 status is displayed. On the other hand, in S14, when the trace data of the tracing operation does not match the route data stored in the data storage unit and the process proceeds to S16, the display generation unit 6 uses the display data 502 of the data storage unit 5 to display the re-input screen. Data is generated and transmitted to the display means 7 and the overall processing section 4, and the re-input screen data is displayed on the display means 7, and the process returns to S12.

In this way, when the trajectory data of the tracing operation input to the input means by the tracing operation of the paths 7a1 and 7a2 displayed on the display means 7 and the path data stored in the data storage unit match, the external device 9 Since the control signal is transmitted to the terminal, unintentional processing due to inadvertent input or insufficient confirmation by the operator can be prevented.

Embodiment 2. FIG.
The configuration of the display 2 according to the second embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment, and the operation of the overall processing unit 4 is as shown in FIG. FIG. 4 differs from FIG. 2 only in that the cancel button is not pressed S12, and the other processes are the same. Further, in this embodiment, the tracing operation to be determined in S13 of FIG. 4 is an operation with both hands as shown in FIGS. 5 to 7, and is a continuous tracing operation as in the first embodiment. . As in FIG. 2, 2 is a display, 7 is a display means, 3 is an input means, and the input means 3 is placed so as to overlap the display means 7.

In FIG. 5, as shown in the character display 7f, the start point 7b of the route is simultaneously pressed down, the slide switch 7d is moved symmetrically, and the end point 7c of the route is reached simultaneously at the left and right. Again, in order to improve operability, the display color of the portion 7a1 on the display of the route data where the tracing operation is finished is changed. For the portion 7a2 where the color has not changed, when the tracing operation is performed by moving the slide switch 7d, the color changes to the same color as 7a1. In the example of FIG. 6, as shown in the character display 7f, the start point 7b of the path 7a is simultaneously pressed, the slide switch 7d is moved in a bilateral direction toward the end point 7c, and the end point 7c is reached at the same time. Perform a drag operation. In the case of FIG. 7, two start points 7b of the route 7a are pressed simultaneously, the slide switch 7d is moved to the end point 7c of the route 7a so as to be symmetric, and a drag operation is performed so as to reach the end point 7c of the route 7a simultaneously. .

According to the present embodiment, not only unintentional processing due to careless input or input that is not sufficiently confirmed by the operator can be prevented, but there are further effects as described below. The first effect is that, for example, when the external device 9 is connected to a press or the like, if the operator 1 performs an input operation with one hand, the input operation is distracted and the operation is not performed. May be pinched by a press or the like. However, in the case of the tracing operation in the present embodiment, both hands are restrained by the input operation, so that the hand can be prevented from being caught in a device such as a press machine.

The further effect of the second point is as follows. Conventionally, a display device for pressing a plurality of buttons needs to be configured by an expensive digital matrix method, and thus requires an increase in cost. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the processing unit only needs to be able to recognize a plurality of tracing operation trajectories, and therefore it is not necessary to configure an expensive digital matrix. Therefore, it can be composed of a general-purpose inexpensive analog resistance film, and the cost can be reduced.

Embodiment 3 FIG.
The present embodiment is an example that more reliably achieves the same effect as that of the second embodiment, and the route data stored in the data storage unit is a route that is difficult to perform the tracing operation with one hand. By performing the tracing operation with both hands, it is possible to reliably prevent unintended processing due to inadvertent input or input that is not confirmed by the operator, and to prevent the hand from being caught in a device such as a press machine. The configuration of the display 2 according to the third embodiment and the operation of the overall processing unit 4 are the same as those in the second embodiment, and the tracing operation is continuously traced by any of the operations shown in FIGS. . As in FIG. 2, 2 is a display, 7 is a display means, 3 is an input means placed on the display means 7, 7a is a route displayed based on the

route data

501, 7b is a character display, 7c Is a slide switch. In the case of FIG. 8, as shown in the character display 7b, two start points 7b of the path 7a displayed on the display means 7 are pressed at the same time so as to be point-symmetric with respect to the screen center point toward the end point 7d. The slide switch 7d is moved to and a sliding operation is performed so as to reach the end point 7c at the same time. This path 7a is difficult to trace with one hand because a finger twist occurs when the tracing operation is performed with one hand.

In the case of FIG. 9, as shown in the character display 7f, two start points 7b of the route 7a displayed on the display means 7 are pressed simultaneously, and the slide switch 7d is moved so as to reach the end point 7c of the route simultaneously. Execute the tracing operation. Here, the two routes have different distances from the start point to the location where the direction of travel changes, so it is impossible to trace symmetrically when tracing at the same speed on the left and right. Therefore, the timing for operating the start point 7b and end point 7c of the tracing operation is Assume that they are simultaneous. Also, this route is difficult to trace with one hand because the distance from the starting point of the two routes to the changing point in the traveling direction is different.

In the case of FIG. 10, two start points 7b of the route 7a displayed on the display means 7 are pressed simultaneously, the slide switch 7d is moved so as to reach the end point 7c of the route at the same time, and the tracing operation is performed. As for this route, since the two routes are not symmetrical figures, it is assumed that the operation at the start point 7b and the end point 7c of the route may be performed simultaneously with the left and right hands. Also, this route is difficult to trace with one hand because a finger twist occurs when the tracing operation is performed with one hand. In the case of FIG. 11, two start points 7b of the route 7a displayed on the display means 7 are pressed simultaneously, the slide switch 7d is moved so as to reach the end point 7c of the route at the same time, and the tracing operation is performed. If the trace operation is performed symmetrically on the route, the finger hits at the intersection of the route and the operability is poor. Therefore, it is only necessary that the start point 7b and the end point 7c of the trace operation are simultaneously left and right. Also, this route is difficult to trace with one hand because a finger twist occurs when the tracing operation is performed with one hand.

In these cases, the two paths are asymmetric in each of the paths, the finger is twisted when the tracing operation is performed with one hand, or the distance from the starting point of the two paths to the changing point of the traveling direction is different. Because the route is difficult to operate with one hand, even if the distance between routes is small, for example, the input means 3 is small, the operator is potentially urged to operate with both hands, and inadvertent input or lack of operator confirmation It is possible to more reliably prevent unintended processing due to the above and pinching of the hand when the external device 9 is connected to a press machine or the like. Similarly to the second embodiment, a general-purpose inexpensive analog resistance film that can detect a two-point tracing operation can be used, and a conventional two-point pressing operation is possible by adopting a digital matrix method. In comparison, the cost can be reduced. The route that is difficult to operate with one hand is not limited to the example given here.

Embodiment 4 FIG.
The configuration of the display 1 according to the fourth embodiment and the operation of the overall processing unit 2 are the same as those in the third embodiment, and the tracing operation is discontinuous unlike the first to third embodiments. FIG. 12 shows an example of a discontinuous tracing operation according to the present embodiment, which differs from FIG. 9 only in that a touch point 7g is provided. The discontinuous tracing operation of the route 7a in the present embodiment is an operation of simultaneously pressing the three points of the route start point 7b, the touch point 7g, and the route end point 7c. Here, one touch point is provided on each of the left and right sides, but a plurality of touch points may be provided. Furthermore, the path 7a where the touch point is provided is not limited to the path shown in FIG. 9, but may be the path shown in FIGS. 2, 5 to 8, and 10 to 11 described above, or other paths. Since the analog resistance film method cannot detect a two-point press, the digital matrix method can be used. In this case, as in the second embodiment, not only unintentional input and unintentional processing due to insufficient confirmation by the operator can be prevented, but also the insertion of a hand into a device such as a press can be prevented.
