　以下、図面を参照して本発明による入力装置および電子機器の実施形態を説明する。ただし、本発明は以下の実施形態に限定されない。 Hereinafter, embodiments of an input device and an electronic apparatus according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.
　［実施形態１］
　図１を参照して本発明に係る入力装置１０の実施形態を説明する。図１は、本発明の実施形態に係る入力装置１０を示すブロック図である。 [Embodiment 1]
An embodiment of an input device 10 according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an input device 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention.
　入力装置１０は、記憶部３０と、表示部４０と、タッチセンサー４２と、制御部２０とを備える。 The input device 10 includes a storage unit 30, a display unit 40, a touch sensor 42, and a control unit 20.
　記憶部３０は、数値および変化量を記憶する。記憶部３０は、例えば、ＲＡＭ（Ｒａｎｄｏｍ　Ａｃｃｅｓｓ　Ｍｅｍｏｒｙ）およびＲＯＭ（Ｒｅａｄ　Ｏｎｌｙ　Ｍｅｍｏｒｙ）である。変化量は、第１変化量および第２変化量を含む。 The storage unit 30 stores numerical values and change amounts. The storage unit 30 is, for example, a RAM (Random Access Memory) and a ROM (Read Only Memory). The change amount includes a first change amount and a second change amount.
　表示部４０は、数値変更ボタンと記憶部３０に記憶された数値とを表示する。表示部４０は、例えば、液晶パネルである。 The display unit 40 displays the numerical value change button and the numerical value stored in the storage unit 30. The display unit 40 is, for example, a liquid crystal panel.
　タッチセンサー４２は、数値変更ボタンがタップされたことを検出する。 The touch sensor 42 detects that the numerical value change button has been tapped.
　制御部２０は、記憶部３０と表示部４０とタッチセンサー４２とを制御する。制御部２０は、例えば、ＣＰＵ（Ｃｅｎｔｒａｌ Ｐｒｏｃｅｓｓｉｎｇ Ｕｎｉｔ）である。制御部２０は、所定の期間内に数値変更ボタンがシングルタップされることにより、数値を第１変化量だけ変更する。また、制御部２０は、所定の期間内に数値変更ボタンがダブルタップされることにより、数値を第２変化量だけ変更する。なお、本明細書の以下の説明において、所定の期間内に数値変更ボタンが１回タップされることをシングルタップと記載することがある。また、所定の期間内に数値変更ボタンが２回タップされることをダブルタップと記載することがある。制御部２０は、ユーザーの設定によってダブルタップにおける１回目のタップと２回目とのタップの期間を設定可能である。ダブルタップにおける１回目のタップと２回目とのタップの期間は、例えば、０．１秒～０．５秒である。 The control unit 20 controls the storage unit 30, the display unit 40, and the touch sensor 42. The controller 20 is, for example, a CPU (Central Processing Unit). The control unit 20 changes the numerical value by the first change amount by single-tapping the numerical value change button within a predetermined period. Further, the control unit 20 changes the numerical value by the second change amount by double-tapping the numerical value changing button within a predetermined period. In the following description of the present specification, a single tap of a numerical value change button within a predetermined period may be referred to as a single tap. In addition, when the numerical value change button is tapped twice within a predetermined period may be referred to as a double tap. The control unit 20 can set the period of the first tap and the second tap in the double tap according to user settings. The period of the first tap and the second tap in the double tap is, for example, 0.1 seconds to 0.5 seconds.
　図１～図３Ｂを参照して、本発明に係る入力装置１０の実施形態を説明する。図２は、本発明の実施形態に係る入力装置１０の数値変更処理を示す模式図である。図３は、本発明の実施形態に係る入力装置１０の別の数値変更処理を示す模式図である。 With reference to FIGS. 1 to 3B, an embodiment of an input device 10 according to the present invention will be described. FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram showing a numerical value changing process of the input device 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram showing another numerical value changing process of the input device 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention.
　まず、図２Ａおよび図２Ｂを参照してシングルタップの場合の数値変更処理について説明する。図２Ａに示すように、表示部４０には、「１」を示す数値７１および数値変更ボタン８０が表示される。表示部４０には、さらにクリアボタン９０が表示される。数値変更ボタン８０はプラスボタンである。数値変更ボタン８０がタップされると、制御部２０は数値７１を変化量（第１変化量および第２変化量）だけ変更する。制御部２０は、ユーザーの設定によって第１変化量および第２変化量を設定可能である。本実施形態において第１変化量は「１」、第２変化量は「１０」と設定されている。クリアボタン９０が押下されると、制御部２０は、数値を「０」に変更する。 First, the numerical value changing process in the case of a single tap will be described with reference to FIGS. 2A and 2B. As shown in FIG. 2A, a numerical value 71 indicating “1” and a numerical value change button 80 are displayed on the display unit 40. A clear button 90 is further displayed on the display unit 40. The numerical value change button 80 is a plus button. When the numerical value change button 80 is tapped, the control unit 20 changes the numerical value 71 by a change amount (first change amount and second change amount). The control unit 20 can set the first change amount and the second change amount according to user settings. In the present embodiment, the first change amount is set to “1”, and the second change amount is set to “10”. When the clear button 90 is pressed, the control unit 20 changes the numerical value to “0”.
　図２Ｂに示すように、数値変更ボタン８０がシングルタップされると、制御部２０は、数値７１を第１変化量だけ変更する。具体的には、制御部２０は、数値「１」に第１変換量である１を足して数値「２」に変更する。 As shown in FIG. 2B, when the numerical value change button 80 is single-tapped, the control unit 20 changes the numerical value 71 by the first change amount. Specifically, the control unit 20 adds 1 that is the first conversion amount to the numerical value “1” and changes the numerical value to “2”.
　次に、図３Ａおよび図３Ｂを参照してダブルタップの場合の数値変更処理について説明する。図３Ａに示すように、表示部４０には、「１」を示す数値７１が表示される。 Next, the numerical value changing process in the case of double tap will be described with reference to FIGS. 3A and 3B. As shown in FIG. 3A, the display unit 40 displays a numerical value 71 indicating “1”.
　図３Ｂに示すように、数値変更ボタン８０がダブルタップされると、制御部２０は、数値７１を第２変化量だけ変更する。具体的には、制御部２０は、数値「１」に第２変換量である１０を足して数値「１１」に変更する。 As shown in FIG. 3B, when the numerical value change button 80 is double-tapped, the control unit 20 changes the numerical value 71 by the second change amount. Specifically, the control unit 20 adds the second conversion amount 10 to the numerical value “1” and changes the numerical value to “11”.
　入力装置１０は、数値変更ボタン８０をシングルタップまたはダブルタップすることよって、数値を目標値に変更することができる。例えば、数値を「１」から「４３」に変更する場合は、数値変更ボタン８０を４回ダブルタップすることによって、数値を４０（プラス１０×４回）足すように変更する。さらに、数値変更ボタン８０を２回シングルタップすることによって、数値を２足すように変更する。その結果、数値を「１」から「４３」に変更することができる。 The input device 10 can change the numerical value to the target value by single-tapping or double-tapping the numerical value change button 80. For example, when the numerical value is changed from “1” to “43”, the numerical value change button 80 is double-tapped four times to change the numerical value to be added by 40 (plus 10 × 4 times). Further, the numerical value change button 80 is changed to add two numerical values by single-tapping twice. As a result, the numerical value can be changed from “1” to “43”.
　図１および図４を参照して、本発明に係る入力装置１０の数値変更処理について説明する。図４は、本発明の実施形態に係る入力装置１０の数値変更処理を示すフローチャートである。図４に示すように、ステップＳ１００からステップＳ１１０を実行することによって数値変更処理が行われる。本実施形態において第１変化量は「１」、第２変化量は「１０」と設定されている。 With reference to FIG. 1 and FIG. 4, the numerical value changing process of the input device 10 according to the present invention will be described. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the numerical value changing process of the input device 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 4, the numerical value changing process is performed by executing steps S100 to S110. In the present embodiment, the first change amount is set to “1”, and the second change amount is set to “10”.
　ステップＳ１００：ユーザーによってプラスボタンがタップされる。すなわち、ユーザーによって数値変更ボタン８０がタップされる。 Step S100: The plus button is tapped by the user. That is, the numerical value change button 80 is tapped by the user.
　ステップＳ１０２：タイマーがスタートする。プラスボタンがタップされると、制御部２０はタイマーをスタートさせる。 Step S102: The timer starts. When the plus button is tapped, the control unit 20 starts a timer.
　ステップＳ１０４：制御部２０は、タイムアウト前にプラスボタンがタップされたか否かを判定する。本実施形態において、タイムアウトはタイマーがスタートしてから所定の期間が経過することを示す。タイムアウト前にプラスボタンがタップされなかった場合（ステップＳ１０４：ＮＯ）、すなわち、所定の期間内にプラスボタンがもう一度タップされなかった場合（シングルタップの場合）、数値変更処理はステップＳ１０８に進む。タイムアウト前にプラスボタンがタップされた場合（ステップＳ１０４：ＹＥＳ）、すなわち、所定の期間内にプラスボタンがもう一度タップされた場合（ダブルタップの場合）、数値変更処理はステップＳ１０６に進む。 Step S104: The control unit 20 determines whether or not the plus button has been tapped before the timeout. In this embodiment, the timeout indicates that a predetermined period has elapsed since the timer started. If the plus button has not been tapped before the timeout (step S104: NO), that is, if the plus button has not been tapped again within a predetermined period (single tap), the numerical value changing process proceeds to step S108. If the plus button has been tapped before the timeout (step S104: YES), that is, if the plus button has been tapped again within a predetermined period (double tap), the numerical value changing process proceeds to step S106.
　ステップＳ１０６：制御部２０は、第２変化量である「１０」を数値に足す。 Step S106: The control unit 20 adds “10” that is the second change amount to the numerical value.
　ステップＳ１０８：制御部２０は、第１変化量である「１」を数値に足す。 Step S108: The control unit 20 adds “1” that is the first change amount to the numerical value.
　ステップＳ１１０：制御部２０は、タイマーをリセットする。 Step S110: The control unit 20 resets the timer.
　入力装置１０は、ステップＳ１００～ステップＳ１１０を繰り返すことによって、数値を目標値に変更することができる。 The input device 10 can change the numerical value to the target value by repeating Step S100 to Step S110.
　以上、図１～図４を参照して説明したように、入力装置１０は、記憶部３０と、表示部４０と、タッチセンサー４２と、制御部２０とを備える。制御部２０は、数値変更ボタン８０がシングルタップされることにより、数値を第１変化量だけ変更し、数値変更ボタン８０がダブルタップされることにより、数値を第２変化量だけ変更する。したがって、２つの変化量に対応して数値を変更することができる。その結果、数値を目標値に容易に変更することができる。 As described above with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4, the input device 10 includes the storage unit 30, the display unit 40, the touch sensor 42, and the control unit 20. The controller 20 changes the numerical value by the first change amount when the numerical value change button 80 is single-tapped, and changes the numerical value by the second change amount when the numerical value change button 80 is double-tapped. Therefore, the numerical value can be changed corresponding to the two changes. As a result, the numerical value can be easily changed to the target value.
　また、本実施形態では、タップ回数に応じた変化量に応じて数値を変更しており、１回のタップ（シングルタップ）あたりの変化量が変化するわけではないので、操作に不慣れなユーザーにも好適に利用可能となる。また、それほど大きくない任意の所望の数値まで比較的早く到達することができる。 In this embodiment, the numerical value is changed according to the amount of change according to the number of taps, and the amount of change per tap (single tap) does not change. Can also be suitably used. Also, any desired numerical value that is not so large can be reached relatively quickly.
　制御部２０は、変化量を設定可能である。したがって、ユーザーの用途に応じて変化量を設定することができる。その結果、ユーザーの用途に応じて数値を目標値に容易に変更することができる。 The control unit 20 can set the amount of change. Therefore, the amount of change can be set according to the user's application. As a result, the numerical value can be easily changed to the target value according to the user's application.
　制御部２０は、ダブルタップにおける１回目のタップと２回目とのタップの期間（数値変更ボタン８０がタップされてからタイムアウトになるまでの時間）を設定可能である。したがって、制御部２０は、適切にシングルタップされたかダブルタップされたかを判定する。その結果、シングルタップされたかダブルタップされたかの誤判定を低減することができる。 The control unit 20 can set a tap period between the first tap and the second tap (time from when the numerical value change button 80 is tapped until time-out occurs) in the double tap. Therefore, the control unit 20 determines whether it has been appropriately single-tapped or double-tapped. As a result, it is possible to reduce erroneous determination as to whether a single tap or a double tap has been performed.
　［実施形態２］
　図１、図５Ａ、図５Ｂ、６Ａおよび図６Ｂを参照して、本発明に係る入力装置１０の実施形態２を説明する。図５Ａおよび図５Ｂは、実施形態２に係る入力装置１０の数値変更処理を示す模式図である。図６Ａおよび図６Ｂは、実施形態２に係る入力装置１０の別の数値変更処理を示す模式図である。 [Embodiment 2]
A second embodiment of the input device 10 according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1, 5A, 5B, 6A and 6B. 5A and 5B are schematic diagrams illustrating a numerical value changing process of the input device 10 according to the second embodiment. 6A and 6B are schematic diagrams illustrating another numerical value changing process of the input device 10 according to the second embodiment.
　本実施形態において、数値変更ボタン８０は、増ボタン８１と減ボタン８２とを含む。表示部４０には、「１」を示す数値７１および増ボタン８１と減ボタン８２とが表示される。増ボタン８１はプラスボタンである。減ボタン８２はマイナスボタンである。本実施形態において第１増変化量は「１」、第２増変化量は「１０」、第１減変化量は「１」および第２減変化量は「１０」と設定されている。増ボタン８１がタップされると、制御部２０は、数値を増変化量（第１増変化量および第２増変化量）だけ増加する。一方、減ボタン８２がタップされると、制御部２０は、数値を減変化量（第１減変化量および第２減変化量）だけ減少する。 In this embodiment, the numerical value change button 80 includes an increase button 81 and a decrease button 82. The display unit 40 displays a numerical value 71 indicating “1” and an increase button 81 and a decrease button 82. The increase button 81 is a plus button. The decrease button 82 is a minus button. In the present embodiment, the first increase change amount is set to “1”, the second increase change amount is “10”, the first decrease change amount is “1”, and the second decrease change amount is “10”. When the increase button 81 is tapped, the control unit 20 increases the numerical value by the increase change amount (the first increase change amount and the second increase change amount). On the other hand, when the decrease button 82 is tapped, the control unit 20 decreases the numerical value by the decrease amount (first decrease amount and second decrease amount).
　まず、図５Ａおよび図５Ｂを参照して、シングルタップの場合の数値変更処理について説明する。図５Ａに示すように、表示部４０には、「１」を示す数値７１が表示される。 First, the numerical value changing process in the case of a single tap will be described with reference to FIGS. 5A and 5B. As shown in FIG. 5A, the display unit 40 displays a numerical value 71 indicating “1”.
　図５Ｂに示すように、増ボタン８１がシングルタップされることにより、制御部２０は、数値７１を第１増変化量だけ増加する。具体的には、制御部２０は、数値「１」に第１増変換量である１を足して数値「２」に増加する。 As shown in FIG. 5B, when the increase button 81 is single-tapped, the control unit 20 increases the numerical value 71 by the first increase change amount. Specifically, the control unit 20 adds 1 as the first increase conversion amount to the numerical value “1” and increases the numerical value to “2”.
　次に、図６Ａおよび図６Ｂを参照して、ダブルタップの場合の数値変更処理について説明する。図６Ａに示すように、表示部４０には、「１」を示す数値７１が表示される。 Next, with reference to FIG. 6A and FIG. 6B, the numerical value changing process in the case of double tap will be described. As shown in FIG. 6A, the display unit 40 displays a numerical value 71 indicating “1”.
　図６Ｂに示すように、増ボタン８１がダブルタップされることにより、制御部２０は、数値７１を第２増変化量だけ増加する。具体的には、制御部２０は、数値に第２増変換量である１０を足して数値「１」を数値「１１」に増加する。 6B, when the increase button 81 is double-tapped, the control unit 20 increases the numerical value 71 by the second increase change amount. Specifically, the control unit 20 increases the numerical value “1” to the numerical value “11” by adding 10 which is the second increase conversion amount to the numerical value.
　一方、減ボタン８２がタップされることにより、制御部２０は、数値を減変化量（第１減変化量）だけ減少する。例えば、数値「１０」が表示部４０に表示される場合、制御部２０は、数値に第１減変化量である１を引いて数値「１０」を数値「９」に減少する。 On the other hand, when the decrease button 82 is tapped, the control unit 20 decreases the numerical value by the decrease amount (first decrease amount). For example, when the numerical value “10” is displayed on the display unit 40, the control unit 20 reduces the numerical value “10” to the numerical value “9” by subtracting 1 as the first decrease amount.
　また、減ボタン８２がダブルタップされることにより、制御部２０は、数値を減変化量（第２減変化量）だけ減少する。例えば、数値「１５」が表示部４０に表示される場合、制御部２０は、数値に第２減変化量である１０を引いて数値「１５」を数値「５」に減少する。 Further, when the decrease button 82 is double-tapped, the control unit 20 decreases the numerical value by the decrease amount (second decrease amount). For example, when the numerical value “15” is displayed on the display unit 40, the control unit 20 reduces the numerical value “15” to the numerical value “5” by subtracting 10 as the second decrease amount.
　入力装置１０は、数値変更ボタン８０（増ボタン８１および減ボタン８２）をシングルタップまたはダブルタップすることよって、数値を目標値に変更することができる。例えば、数値が「１」を数値「４８」に変更する場合は、増ボタン８１を５回ダブルタップすることによって、数値を５０（プラス１０×５回）足すように変更する。さらに、減ボタン８２を３回シングルタップすることによって、数値を３引くように変更する。その結果、数値を「１」から「４８」に変更することができる。 The input device 10 can change the numerical value to the target value by single-tapping or double-tapping the numerical value change button 80 (increase button 81 and decrease button 82). For example, when the numerical value is changed from “1” to the numerical value “48”, the numerical value is changed to 50 (plus 10 × 5 times) by double-tapping the increase button 81 five times. Further, the numerical value is subtracted by 3 by single-tapping the decrease button 82 three times. As a result, the numerical value can be changed from “1” to “48”.
　以上、図１、図５Ａ、図５Ｂ、図６Ａおよび図６Ｂを参照して説明したように、入力装置１０において、数値変更ボタン８０は増ボタン８１と減ボタン８２とを含む。制御部２０は、増ボタン８１がタップされることにより、数値を増変化量だけ増加し、減ボタン８２がタップされた場合、数値を減変化量だけ減少する。したがって、増ボタン８１の押下と減ボタン８２の押下とを組み合わせることによって、数値を増減することができる。その結果、数値を目標値に容易に変更することができる。 As described above with reference to FIGS. 1, 5A, 5B, 6A, and 6B, in the input device 10, the numerical value change button 80 includes the increase button 81 and the decrease button 82. When the increase button 81 is tapped, the control unit 20 increases the numerical value by the increase change amount, and when the decrease button 82 is tapped, the control unit 20 decreases the numerical value by the decrease change amount. Therefore, the numerical value can be increased or decreased by combining pressing of the increase button 81 and pressing of the decrease button 82. As a result, the numerical value can be easily changed to the target value.
　なお、図１、図５Ａ、図５Ｂ、図６Ａおよび図６Ｂを参照して説明したように、入力装置１０には、増変化量と減変化量とは同じ値が設定されていたが、増変化量と減変化量とは異なる値が設定されていてもよい。増変化量と減変化量とが異なることによって、増ボタン８１の押下と減ボタン８２の押下を組み合わせることによって数値を増減することができる。その結果、数値を目標値に容易に変更することができる。 As described with reference to FIG. 1, FIG. 5A, FIG. 5B, FIG. 6A, and FIG. 6B, the input device 10 is set to the same value for the increase amount and the decrease amount. Different values may be set for the change amount and the decrease amount. Since the increase change amount and the decrease change amount are different, the numerical value can be increased or decreased by combining the press of the increase button 81 and the press of the decrease button 82. As a result, the numerical value can be easily changed to the target value.
　例えば、第１増変化量は「１」、第２増変化量は「１０」、第１減変化量は「１」および第２減変化量は「５」と設定されてもよい。数値「１」を「６」に変更する場合は、増ボタン８１を１回ダブルタップすることによって、数値を１０足すように変更する。さらに、減ボタン８２を１回ダブルタップすることによって、数値を５引くように変更する。その結果、数値を「１」から「６」に変更することができる。 For example, the first increase change amount may be set as “1”, the second increase change amount as “10”, the first decrease change amount as “1”, and the second decrease change amount as “5”. When the numerical value “1” is changed to “6”, the numerical value is changed to 10 by double-tapping the increase button 81 once. Further, the numerical value is subtracted by 5 by double-tapping the decrease button 82 once. As a result, the numerical value can be changed from “1” to “6”.
　［実施形態３］
　図１、図７Ａおよび図７Ｂを参照して、本発明に係る入力装置１０の実施形態３を説明する。図７は、実施形態３に係る入力装置１０の数値変更処理を示す模式図である。 [Embodiment 3]
A third embodiment of the input device 10 according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1, 7A and 7B. FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram illustrating a numerical value changing process of the input device 10 according to the third embodiment.
　本実施形態において、変化量は第３変化量を含む。本実施形態において、第１増変化量は「１」、第２増変化量は「１０」、第３増変化量は「１００」、第１減変化量は「１」、第２減変化量は「１０」、第３減変化量は「１００」に設定されている。増ボタン８１がタップされることにより、制御部２０は、数値を増変化量（第１増変化量、第２増変化量および第３増変化量）だけ増加する。一方、減ボタン８２がタップされることにより、制御部２０は、数値を減変化量（第１減変化量、第２減変化量および第３減変化量）だけ減少する。 In the present embodiment, the change amount includes the third change amount. In the present embodiment, the first increase change amount is “1”, the second increase change amount is “10”, the third increase change amount is “100”, the first decrease change amount is “1”, and the second decrease change amount. Is set to “10”, and the third decrease is set to “100”. When the increase button 81 is tapped, the control unit 20 increases the numerical value by the increase change amount (the first increase change amount, the second increase change amount, and the third increase change amount). On the other hand, when the decrease button 82 is tapped, the control unit 20 decreases the numerical value by a decrease amount (a first decrease amount, a second decrease amount, and a third decrease amount).
　図７Ａに示すように、表示部４０には、「１」を示す数値７１が表示される。図７Ｂに示すように、制御部２０は、所定の期間内に数値変更ボタン８０がトリプルタップされることにより、数値を第３変化量だけ変更する。なお、本明細書の以下の説明において、所定の期間内に数値変更ボタン８０が３回タップされることをトリプルタップと記載することがある。増ボタン８１がトリプルタップされることにより、制御部２０は、数値７１を第３増変化量だけ増加する。具体的には、制御部２０は、数値に第３増変換量である１００を足して数値「１」を数値「１０１」に増加する。 As shown in FIG. 7A, the display unit 40 displays a numerical value 71 indicating “1”. As illustrated in FIG. 7B, the control unit 20 changes the numerical value by the third change amount when the numerical value change button 80 is triple-tapped within a predetermined period. In the following description of the present specification, a case where the numerical value change button 80 is tapped three times within a predetermined period may be referred to as a triple tap. When the increase button 81 is triple-tapped, the control unit 20 increases the numerical value 71 by the third increase amount. Specifically, the control unit 20 increases the numerical value “1” to the numerical value “101” by adding the third incremental conversion amount 100 to the numerical value.
　入力装置１０は、数値変更ボタン８０をシングルタップ、ダブルタップまたはトリプルタップすることよって、数値を目標値に変更することができる。例えば、数値が「１」の状態から数値を「２５８」に変更する場合は、増ボタン８１を２回トリプルタップすることによって、数値を２００（プラス１００×２回）足すように変更する。そして、増ボタン８１を５回ダブルタップすることによって、数値を５０（プラス１０×５回）足すように変更する。さらに、増ボタン８１を７回シングルタップすることによって、数値を７足すように変更する。その結果、数値を「１」から「２５８」に変更することができる。 The input device 10 can change the numerical value to the target value by single-tap, double-tap or triple-tap the numerical value change button 80. For example, when the numerical value is changed from “1” to “258”, the increase button 81 is triple-tapped twice to increase the numerical value by 200 (plus 100 × 2 times). Then, by double-tapping the increase button 81 five times, the numerical value is changed to add 50 (plus 10 × 5 times). Further, the numerical value is changed to 7 by single-tapping the increase button 81 seven times. As a result, the numerical value can be changed from “1” to “258”.
　図１および図８を参照して、本発明に係る入力装置１０の数値の変更処理について説明する。図８は、本実施形態に係る入力装置１０の数値の変更処理を示すフローチャートである。図８に示すように、ステップＳ２００からステップＳ２１２を実行することによって数値の変更が行われる。本実施形態において、第１増変化量は「１」、第２増変化量は「１０」、第３増変化量は「１００」、第１減変化量は「１」、第２減変化量は「１０」、第３減変化量は「１００」に設定されている。 Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 8, the numerical value changing process of the input device 10 according to the present invention will be described. FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing a numerical value changing process of the input device 10 according to the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 8, the numerical value is changed by executing steps S200 to S212. In the present embodiment, the first increase change amount is “1”, the second increase change amount is “10”, the third increase change amount is “100”, the first decrease change amount is “1”, and the second decrease change amount. Is set to “10”, and the third decrease is set to “100”.
　ステップＳ２００：ユーザーによってプラスボタンがタップされる。すなわち、ユーザーによって増ボタン８１がタップされる。 Step S200: The plus button is tapped by the user. That is, the increase button 81 is tapped by the user.
　ステップＳ２０２：タイマーがスタートする。プラスボタンがタップされると、制御部２０はタイマーをスタートさせる。 Step S202: The timer starts. When the plus button is tapped, the control unit 20 starts a timer.
　ステップＳ２０４：制御部２０は、タイムアウト前にプラスボタンがタップされた合計回数を判定する。ステップＳ２００におけるプラスボタンのタップもカウントされる。制御部２０が、タイムアウト前にプラスボタンが合計１回タップ（すなわち、シングルタップ）されたと判定した場合（ステップＳ２０４：１回）、数値変更処理はステップＳ２０６に進む。制御部２０が、タイムアウト前にプラスボタンが合計２回タップ（すなわち、ダブルタップ）されたと判定した場合（ステップＳ２０４：２回）、数値変更処理はステップＳ２０８に進む。制御部２０が、タイムアウト前にプラスボタンが合計３回タップ（すなわち、トリプルタップ）されたと判定した場合（ステップＳ２０４：３回）、数値変更処理はステップＳ２１０に進む。 Step S204: The control unit 20 determines the total number of times that the plus button has been tapped before the timeout. The plus button tap in step S200 is also counted. When the control unit 20 determines that the plus button has been tapped once (that is, single tapped) before the time-out (step S204: once), the numerical value changing process proceeds to step S206. When the control unit 20 determines that the plus button has been tapped twice (that is, double tapped) before the time-out (step S204: twice), the numerical value changing process proceeds to step S208. When the control unit 20 determines that the plus button has been tapped three times (that is, triple tapped) before the time-out (step S204: three times), the numerical value changing process proceeds to step S210.
　ステップＳ２０６：制御部２０は、第１増変化量である「１」を数値に足す。 Step S206: The control unit 20 adds “1”, which is the first increase change amount, to the numerical value.
　ステップＳ２０８：制御部２０は、第２増変化量である「１０」を数値に足す。 Step S208: The control unit 20 adds “10” which is the second increase amount of change to the numerical value.
　ステップＳ２１０：制御部２０は、第３増変化量である「１００」を数値に足す。 Step S210: The control unit 20 adds “100” that is the third increase amount of change to the numerical value.
　ステップＳ２１２：制御部２０は、タイマーをリセットする。 Step S212: The control unit 20 resets the timer.
　以上、図１、図７Ａ、図７Ｂおよび図８を参照して説明したように、変化量は第３変化量を含む。入力装置１０において、制御部２０は、所定の期間内に数値変更ボタン８０がトリプルタップされることにより、数値を第３変化量だけ増減する。したがって、３つの変化量に対応して数値を変更することができる。その結果、数値を目標値に容易に変更することができる。 As described above, as described with reference to FIGS. 1, 7A, 7B, and 8, the change amount includes the third change amount. In the input device 10, the control unit 20 increases or decreases the numerical value by the third change amount when the numerical value change button 80 is triple-tapped within a predetermined period. Therefore, the numerical value can be changed corresponding to the three change amounts. As a result, the numerical value can be easily changed to the target value.
