 従来から、コンピュータ技術の向上と共に、プログラムやサービスが様々な電子機器で利用できる傾向にある。 Traditionally, along with improvements in computer technology, programs and services tend to be available on various electronic devices.
 電子機器において、プログラムやサービスを利用するためには、当該プログラムやサービスに適したユーザインターフェースを提供する必要がある。そこで、ユーザが片手で様々な操作ができるように、ポインターのスティック操作、及びクリック操作を1つの操作部で実現可能なポインティングデバイスが提案されている。 In order to use a program or service in an electronic device, it is necessary to provide a user interface suitable for the program or service. In view of this, a pointing device has been proposed in which a pointer stick operation and a click operation can be realized with a single operation unit so that the user can perform various operations with one hand.

 しかしながら、従来技術においては、ポインティングデバイスにおいて1つの操作部でスティック操作とクリック操作とを実現した場合、クリック操作をしながらスティック操作を行う、いわゆるドラッグ操作が難しくなる。 However, in the conventional technology, when a stick operation and a click operation are realized with a single operation unit in a pointing device, a so-called drag operation in which a stick operation is performed while performing a click operation becomes difficult.
 本発明は、上記に鑑みてなされたものであって、操作性を向上させる電子機器、操作制御方法、及びプログラムを提案する。 The present invention has been made in view of the above, and proposes an electronic device, an operation control method, and a program that improve operability.
 実施形態の電子機器は、受信部と、制御部と、を備える。受信部は、操作部により操作された移動量と、当該操作部により押下されているか否かを示した押下情報と、を対応付けて受信する。制御部は、第1の押下情報で操作部が押下されていない場合、当該第1の押下情報と対応付けられた第1の移動量が、操作部の初期状態の位置を基準に定められた第1の不感領域に含まれていると、操作部による操作が行われていないものとみなすと共に、第2の押下情報で操作部が押下されている場合、当該第2の押下情報と対応付けられた第2の移動量が、第1の不感領域より広い範囲で設定された第2の不感領域に含まれていると、操作部による操作が行われていないものとみなす制御を行う。 The electronic device of the embodiment includes a receiving unit and a control unit. The reception unit receives the movement amount operated by the operation unit and the pressing information indicating whether the operation unit is pressed or not in association with each other. When the operation unit is not pressed with the first pressing information, the control unit determines the first movement amount associated with the first pressing information based on the initial position of the operating unit. If it is included in the first insensitive area, it is regarded that the operation by the operation unit is not performed, and when the operation unit is pressed by the second pressing information, the second pressing information is associated with the second pressing information. When the obtained second movement amount is included in the second insensitive area set in a wider range than the first insensitive area, control is performed so that the operation by the operation unit is not performed.

However, the embodiment described below is not limited to a television broadcast display device, and can be applied to any electronic device that performs processing based on a cursor operation and a click operation.
 図1は、実施形態にかかるテレビジョン放送表示装置の一例を示す外観斜視図である。図1に示すように、テレビジョン放送表示装置100は、LCD(Liquid Crystal Display)等で構成され、支持部103により支持され正面視で長方形状の外観を有する筐体101と、静止画や動画等の各種情報を表示可能な映像表示パネル102と、を備えている。 FIG. 1 is an external perspective view showing an example of a television broadcast display device according to an embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, a television broadcast display device 100 is configured by an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) or the like, and is supported by a support unit 103 and has a rectangular appearance in a front view, a still image and a moving image. And a video display panel 102 capable of displaying various types of information.
 そして、リモートコントローラ150により行われた操作情報は、テレビジョン放送表示装置100に送信される。これにより、テレビジョン放送表示装置100の映像表示パネル102上に表示されたカーソル111を操作することができる。本実施形態のリモートコントローラ150は、カーソル111のスティック操作や、クリック操作を行うことができる他に、カーソル111でアイコン110等を移動させる、いわゆるドラッグ操作を行うことができる。 Then, the operation information performed by the remote controller 150 is transmitted to the television broadcast display device 100. Thereby, the cursor 111 displayed on the video display panel 102 of the television broadcast display device 100 can be operated. The remote controller 150 of the present embodiment can perform a stick operation of the cursor 111 and a click operation, and can also perform a so-called drag operation of moving the icon 110 or the like with the cursor 111.
 図2は、リモートコントローラ150の外観正面図である。図2に示されるように、リモートコントローラ150は、テレビジョン放送表示装置100の電源をオン・オフする電源ボタン201と、音声を変化させるボリュームボタン202、203と、戻るボタン204と、ホームボタン205と、メニューボタン206と、スティック211と、を備えている。 FIG. 2 is an external front view of the remote controller 150. As shown in FIG. 2, the remote controller 150 includes a power button 201 for turning on / off the power of the television broadcast display device 100, volume buttons 202 and 203 for changing sound, a return button 204, and a home button 205. And a menu button 206 and a stick 211.
 本実施形態のテレビジョン放送表示装置100は、放送波から提供される番組のみならず、インターネット等を介して提供されるプログラムやサービス等を実行可能な、いわゆるスマートテレビとする。そして、ホームボタン205は、スマートテレビのホーム画面に戻る際に利用される。戻るボタン204は1つ前の画面に戻るために利用される。メニューボタン206はメニュー画面を表示する際に利用される。 The television broadcast display device 100 of the present embodiment is a so-called smart TV that can execute not only programs provided from broadcast waves but also programs and services provided via the Internet or the like. The home button 205 is used when returning to the home screen of the smart TV. A return button 204 is used to return to the previous screen. The menu button 206 is used when displaying a menu screen.
 そして、スティック211は、テレビジョン放送表示装置100に表示されるメニュー画面から、様々なプログラムやサービスを選択するために用いられる。スティック211は、ボタンとして押下することでクリック操作が可能であると共に、操作領域212の範囲内で上下左右方向(X-Y平面方向)に移動可能とする。本実施形態では、スティック211を上下左右方向(X-Y平面方向)に移動させる操作をスティック操作と称する。本実施形態ではスティック操作により、カーソル111等の移動を実現できる。また、クリック操作を行った状態で、カーソル111等のスティック操作、換言すればドラッグ操作も可能とする。 The stick 211 is used to select various programs and services from a menu screen displayed on the television broadcast display device 100. The stick 211 can be clicked by being pressed as a button, and can be moved in the vertical and horizontal directions (XY plane direction) within the range of the operation area 212. In the present embodiment, an operation for moving the stick 211 in the vertical and horizontal directions (XY plane direction) is referred to as a stick operation. In the present embodiment, movement of the cursor 111 or the like can be realized by a stick operation. In addition, in a state where the click operation is performed, a stick operation such as the cursor 111, in other words, a drag operation is also possible.
 図3は、リモートコントローラ150のスティック211近傍の断面図を示した図である。図3に示されるように、スティック211は、スライドノブ301と、リングカバー302と、弾性部材303と、クリック受付ボタン304と、スティック部材305と、を備えている。そして、スライドノブ301が押下された場合に、弾性部材303が押し込まれると共に、面301Aがスティック部材305を(Z軸マイナス方向に)押し込むことで、クリック受付ボタン304が押下される。そして、クリック受付ボタン304が押し込まれた場合に、リモートコントローラ150は、クリックビット“on”を、テレビジョン放送表示装置100に送信する。また、クリック受付ボタン304が押し込まれていない場合に、リモートコントローラ150は、クリックビット“off”を、テレビジョン放送表示装置100に送信する。 FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the vicinity of the stick 211 of the remote controller 150. As shown in FIG. 3, the stick 211 includes a slide knob 301, a ring cover 302, an elastic member 303, a click reception button 304, and a stick member 305. When the slide knob 301 is pressed, the elastic member 303 is pressed, and the surface 301A presses the stick member 305 (in the Z-axis minus direction), whereby the click acceptance button 304 is pressed. When the click acceptance button 304 is pressed, the remote controller 150 transmits a click bit “on” to the television broadcast display device 100. When the click acceptance button 304 is not pressed, the remote controller 150 transmits a click bit “off” to the television broadcast display device 100.
 また、スライドノブ301は、リングカバー302で遮られるまでの操作領域内に限り、X-Y平面方向に移動可能とする。そして、スライドノブ301がX-Y平面方向に移動した際に、(図示しない)リニア型の可変抵抗器を2つ用いて、X軸方向の抵抗値と、Y軸方向の抵抗値から、X軸方向の位置座標と、Y軸方向の位置座標と、を検出する。そして、リモートコントローラ150は、検出したX軸方向の位置座標をX軸方向の移動量とし、Y軸方向の位置座標をY軸方向の移動量として、テレビジョン放送表示装置100に送信する。これによりスティック操作を実現できる。 Also, the slide knob 301 is movable in the XY plane direction only within the operation area until it is blocked by the ring cover 302. Then, when the slide knob 301 moves in the XY plane direction, two linear variable resistors (not shown) are used to calculate the X-axis direction resistance value and the Y-axis direction resistance value from the X-axis direction. A position coordinate in the axial direction and a position coordinate in the Y-axis direction are detected. Then, the remote controller 150 transmits the detected position coordinates in the X-axis direction as the movement amount in the X-axis direction and transmits the position coordinates in the Y-axis direction as the movement amount in the Y-axis direction to the television broadcast display device 100. Thereby, stick operation can be realized.

 図5は、制御部427における、制御プログラム群の実行で実現された構成を示したブロック図である。図5に示されるように、制御部427は、第1アプリケーション501と、第2アプリケーション502と、OS503と、マウスドライバ504と、を実現する。 FIG. 5 is a block diagram showing a configuration realized by executing the control program group in the control unit 427. As illustrated in FIG. 5, the control unit 427 implements a first application 501, a second application 502, an OS 503, and a mouse driver 504.
 マウスドライバ504は、受信部511と、制御部512と、を備え、受光部429から受け取った操作情報を、カーソル111等のポインターの移動量やクリック操作として、OS503に受け渡す。また、マウスドライバ504は、操作部428から操作情報を受け取っても良い。 The mouse driver 504 includes a receiving unit 511 and a control unit 512, and passes the operation information received from the light receiving unit 429 to the OS 503 as the amount of movement of the pointer such as the cursor 111 or a click operation.

 受信部511は、受光部429を介してリモートコントローラ150から受光した操作情報を受信する。 The receiving unit 511 receives operation information received from the remote controller 150 via the light receiving unit 429.
 図6は、リモートコントローラ150から受光部429を介して受信した操作情報の遷移を示した図である。図6に示されるように、受信部511は、所定の時間毎に、X軸方向の移動量(例えばx1、x2…)と、Y軸方向の移動量(例えばy1、y2…)と、クリックビットと、が対応付けられた、スティック211に関する操作情報を受信する。クリックビットとは、スティック211が押下されているか否かを示す情報であり、“on”又は“off”が設定されている。 FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating transition of operation information received from the remote controller 150 via the light receiving unit 429. As shown in FIG. 6, the reception unit 511 clicks the movement amount in the X-axis direction (for example, x1, x2,...) And the movement amount in the Y-axis direction (for example, y1, y2. The operation information related to the stick 211 associated with the bit is received. The click bit is information indicating whether or not the stick 211 is pressed, and “on” or “off” is set.

In the example illustrated in FIG. 7, the stick 211 is movable within the range of the area 601 by a stick operation. The insensitive area 602 where the operation with the stick 211 is not performed is set within a square (the length of each side is “40”) in which the movement amount in the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction is equal to or less than the absolute value “20”. Is done. The intersection of the diagonal lines of the insensitive area 602 becomes the position (0, 0) when the stick 211 is in the initial state, in other words, the center of the area 601. As described above, the insensitive area 602 is set based on the initial position of the stick 211. In the present embodiment, an example in which the insensitive area 602 is square will be described. However, the dead area 602 may be a rectangle, may not be limited to a quadrangle, and may be a circle, an ellipse, or the like.
 そして、制御部512は、スティック211の移動量が、不感領域602の範囲内に含まれている場合に、スティック211による操作が行われていないものとみなす制御、換言すれば、不感領域602外に限りスティック211による移動制御を行う。これによりスティック211による誤動作を抑止できる。 Then, the control unit 512 controls that the operation with the stick 211 is not performed when the movement amount of the stick 211 is included in the range of the insensitive area 602, in other words, outside the insensitive area 602. Only when the movement of the stick 211 is controlled. Thereby, malfunction by the stick 211 can be suppressed.
 ただし、図7で示した不感領域602は、クリック操作が行われていない、換言すればスティック211の押下が行われていない場合であり、クリック操作が行われている、換言すればスティック211の押下が行われている場合の不感領域は図7とは異なる。 However, the insensitive area 602 shown in FIG. 7 is a case where the click operation is not performed, in other words, the stick 211 is not pressed. In other words, the click operation is performed. The insensitive area when the button is pressed is different from that shown in FIG.
 つまり、クリック操作が行われていない状態でのスティック操作は、ユーザは力を入れなくて良いため、精度の高い操作を行うことができる。さらには、ユーザが指を離せば、スティック211が中心(初期状態の位置(0,0))に移動するため、スティック211の中心へのスティック操作を容易に実現できる。 That is, the stick operation in a state where the click operation is not performed can perform a highly accurate operation because the user does not need to apply power. Furthermore, since the stick 211 moves to the center (position (0, 0) in the initial state) when the user releases the finger, the stick operation to the center of the stick 211 can be easily realized.
 これに対して、クリック操作が行われている状態でのスティック操作、いわゆるドラッグ操作は、ユーザは指でスティック211を押し続けた状態(換言すれば指に力を入れた状態)で、スティック211を上下左右方向に移動させる必要があるため、クリック操作が行われていない状態と比べて、スティック操作の精度が低くなる。さらには、クリック操作を行っている以上、指を離すわけにいかないため、スティック211の中心に移動させる操作が難しくなる。 On the other hand, a stick operation in a state where a click operation is performed, that is, a so-called drag operation is performed when the user keeps pressing the stick 211 with a finger (in other words, a state where a force is applied to the finger). Therefore, the accuracy of the stick operation is lower than in the state where the click operation is not performed. Furthermore, as long as the click operation is being performed, the finger cannot be lifted, so that it is difficult to move the stick 211 to the center.
 そこで、本実施形態の制御部512は、クリック操作が行われている状態での不感領域は、クリック操作が行われていない状態での不感領域と比べて広い範囲で設定した。 Therefore, the control unit 512 of the present embodiment sets the insensitive area when the click operation is performed in a wider range than the insensitive area when the click operation is not performed.
 図8は、クリック操作が行われている状態における、スティック211の不感領域を示した概念図である。図8に示される例では、スティック211は、スティック操作で、領域701の範囲で移動可能とする。そして、スティック211による操作が行われない不感領域702は、X軸方向及びY軸方向の移動量が絶対値“50”以下の正方形(各辺の長さが“100”)の範囲内に設定される。そして、不感領域702の対角線の交点が、スティック211が初期状態の位置(0,0)、換言すれば領域701の中心となる。このように、不感領域702は、スティック211の初期状態の位置を基準として設定される。なお、本実施形態は、不感領域702が正方形の例について説明するが、長方形であってもよいし、四角形に制限するものではなく円や楕円等であってもよい。 FIG. 8 is a conceptual diagram showing a dead area of the stick 211 in a state where a click operation is performed. In the example shown in FIG. 8, the stick 211 is movable within the area 701 by a stick operation. The insensitive area 702 where the operation with the stick 211 is not performed is set within a square (the length of each side is “100”) in which the movement amount in the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction is equal to or less than the absolute value “50”. Is done. The intersection of the diagonal lines of the insensitive area 702 becomes the position (0, 0) when the stick 211 is in the initial state, in other words, the center of the area 701. As described above, the insensitive area 702 is set based on the position of the stick 211 in the initial state. In the present embodiment, an example in which the insensitive area 702 is square will be described. However, the dead area 702 may be a rectangle, or may not be limited to a quadrangle, but may be a circle, an ellipse, or the like.
 このように、制御部512は、クリックビットでスティック211が押下されていないと判定された場合、当該クリックビットと対応付けられたX軸方向及びY軸方向の移動量が、絶対値“20”以下となる正方形領域の不感領域602に含まれている際に、スティック211による操作が行われていないものとみなす制御を行う。そして、制御部512は、移動量が、不感領域602より外側に存在する場合に、カーソル111等のポインターの移動量を算出する。 As described above, when it is determined that the stick 211 is not pressed by the click bit, the control unit 512 has the absolute value “20” as the movement amount in the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction associated with the click bit. When it is included in the insensitive area 602 of the square area which will be described below, control is performed so that the operation with the stick 211 is not performed. The control unit 512 calculates the amount of movement of the pointer such as the cursor 111 when the amount of movement exists outside the dead area 602.
 さらに、制御部512は、クリックビットでスティック211が押下されていると判定された場合、当該クリックビットと対応付けられたX軸方向及びY軸方向の移動量が、絶対値“50”以下となる正方形領域の不感領域702に含まれている際に、スティック211による操作が行われていないものとみなす制御を行う。そして、制御部512は、移動量が、不感領域702より外側に存在する場合に、カーソル111等のポインターの移動量を算出する。 Further, when it is determined that the stick 211 is pressed by the click bit, the control unit 512 has the absolute value “50” or less as the movement amount in the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction associated with the click bit. When the insensitive area 702 of the square area is included, control is performed so that the operation with the stick 211 is not performed. Then, when the movement amount exists outside the dead area 702, the control unit 512 calculates the movement amount of the pointer such as the cursor 111.
 さらに、本実施形態の制御部512は、スティック211が押下されている場合と、スティック211が押下されていない場合と、でカーソル移動量を異ならせている。 Furthermore, the control unit 512 of the present embodiment varies the cursor movement amount when the stick 211 is pressed and when the stick 211 is not pressed.
 つまり、スティック211が押下されている場合では、スティック211が押下されていない場合と比べて、上述した理由により精度の高い移動操作が行えない。 That is, when the stick 211 is pressed, compared with the case where the stick 211 is not pressed, a highly accurate movement operation cannot be performed for the reason described above.
 そこで、制御部512は、移動量に従って映像表示パネル102に表示されるカーソル111等のポインターを移動させる際に、リモートコントローラ150のスティック211が押下されていない場合のスティック211の移動量に対応するポインター移動量を、スティック211が押下されている場合のスティック211の移動量に対応するポインター移動量より大きくなるように制御する。つまり、ユーザがクリック操作を行っている場合には、ポインターをゆっくり移動させることとした。 Therefore, the control unit 512 corresponds to the movement amount of the stick 211 when the stick 211 of the remote controller 150 is not pressed when moving the pointer such as the cursor 111 displayed on the video display panel 102 according to the movement amount. The pointer movement amount is controlled to be larger than the pointer movement amount corresponding to the movement amount of the stick 211 when the stick 211 is pressed. That is, when the user is performing a click operation, the pointer is moved slowly.
 このように、本実施形態では、クリック操作しながらスティック操作、いわゆるドラッグ操作という、難しい操作を行っている場合には、ポインターの移動を遅くすることで、ユーザが所望する位置にポインター(カーソル111等)を移動できるようにした。 As described above, in this embodiment, when a difficult operation such as a stick operation, a so-called drag operation, is performed while clicking, a pointer (cursor 111) is moved to a position desired by the user by slowing the movement of the pointer. Etc.) can be moved.
 図9は、本実施形態のマウスドライバ504が受け取る操作情報と、ポインター移動量と、の関係を表した第1の例を示した図である。図9に示す例では、操作情報と、不感領域の辺の長さと、中間データと、ピクセル変換パラメータと、ポインター移動量と、を対応付けている。中間データは、操作情報の移動量が不感領域に含まれている場合に、当該移動量が(0,0)に更新されるデータとする。なお、クリックビット(click bit)において、“off”がクリック操作されていない状態を示し、“on”がクリック操作されている状態を示している。 FIG. 9 is a diagram showing a first example showing the relationship between the operation information received by the mouse driver 504 of the present embodiment and the pointer movement amount. In the example illustrated in FIG. 9, the operation information, the length of the side of the dead area, the intermediate data, the pixel conversion parameter, and the pointer movement amount are associated with each other. The intermediate data is data in which the movement amount is updated to (0, 0) when the movement amount of the operation information is included in the dead area. In the click bit, “off” indicates a state where the click operation is not performed, and “on” indicates a state where the click operation is performed.
 図9のレコード群901に示されるように、操作情報の移動量が、絶対値“20”の正方形の不感領域内の場合、制御部512が、中間データの時点で移動量を(0,0)に更新する。この結果、ポインター移動量も(0,0)となる。なお、ポインター移動量の単位は、ピクセルとするが、他の単位でも良い。なお、レコード群901、及びレコード群902では、クリック操作を行わずに、スティック操作が行われるものとする。 As shown in the record group 901 in FIG. 9, when the movement amount of the operation information is in the square insensitive area of the absolute value “20”, the control unit 512 sets the movement amount to (0, 0) at the time of the intermediate data. ). As a result, the pointer movement amount is also (0, 0). The unit of the pointer movement amount is a pixel, but may be other units. In the record group 901 and the record group 902, a stick operation is performed without performing a click operation.
 レコード群902に示されるように、操作情報の移動量が不感領域外(X軸方向の移動量又はY軸方向の移動量が絶対値“20”以上)の場合、制御部512が、中間データの段階では特に処理を行わない。そして、制御部512は、操作情報(中間データ)の移動量に、ピクセル変換パラメータ(0.1)を乗算して、ポインター移動量を算出する。なお、小数点以下は四捨五入する。これにより、リモートコントローラ150の操作に従ってポインター(カーソル111)が移動する。 As shown in the record group 902, when the movement amount of the operation information is out of the insensitive area (the movement amount in the X-axis direction or the movement amount in the Y-axis direction is an absolute value “20” or more), the control unit 512 displays the intermediate data No particular processing is performed at this stage. Then, the control unit 512 calculates the pointer movement amount by multiplying the movement amount of the operation information (intermediate data) by the pixel conversion parameter (0.1). Note that the numbers after the decimal point are rounded off. Accordingly, the pointer (cursor 111) moves according to the operation of the remote controller 150.
 そして、レコード群903に示されるように、スティック211から指を離した場合、操作情報で、スティック211が少し動いていたとしても、不感領域内のため、表示されているポインター(カーソル111)は特に移動しない。 As shown in the record group 903, when the finger is released from the stick 211, the displayed pointer (cursor 111) is in the insensitive area even if the stick 211 is moved a little according to the operation information. It does not move in particular.
 図10は、本実施形態のマウスドライバ504が受け取る操作情報と、ポインター移動量と、の関係を表した第2の例を示した図である。図10で示された各パラメータは、図9と同様とする。 FIG. 10 is a diagram showing a second example showing the relationship between the operation information received by the mouse driver 504 of the present embodiment and the amount of pointer movement. Each parameter shown in FIG. 10 is the same as in FIG.
 図10に示されるように、クリック操作しながらスティック操作が行われた、いわゆるドラッグ操作が行われた場合、不感領域を表すX軸方向及びY軸方向の絶対値が“50”に拡大される。 As shown in FIG. 10, when a so-called drag operation is performed in which a stick operation is performed while performing a click operation, the absolute values in the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction representing the insensitive area are expanded to “50”. .
 そして、レコード群1001に示されるように、クリック操作が行われた状態で、スティック操作が少し行われた(X軸方向及びY軸方向の移動量がそれぞれ絶対値“50”以下)限りでは、拡大された不感領域内のため、ポインター(カーソル111)は特に移動しない。 As shown in the record group 1001, as long as the click operation is performed and the stick operation is performed a little (the movement amounts in the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction are each an absolute value “50” or less), The pointer (cursor 111) does not move particularly because it is in the enlarged insensitive area.
 さらに、レコード群1002に示されるように、クリック操作が行われた状態でスティック操作、換言すればドラッグ操作が行われた場合、操作情報の移動量が不感領域外の場合、制御部512が、中間データの段階では特に処理を行わない。そして、制御部512は、操作情報(中間データ)の移動量に、ピクセル変換パラメータ(0.05)を乗算して、ポインター(カーソル111)移動量を算出する。なお、小数点以下は四捨五入する。これにより、リモートコントローラ150の操作に従ってポインター(カーソル111)が移動する。なお、ピクセル変換パラメータ(0.05)は、クリック操作が行われていない場合のピクセル変換パラメータ(0.1)より小さいため、ポインター(カーソル111)移動量が小さくなる。 Furthermore, as shown in the record group 1002, when the stick operation is performed in a state where the click operation is performed, in other words, when the drag operation is performed, when the movement amount of the operation information is outside the insensitive area, the control unit 512 No particular processing is performed at the intermediate data stage. Then, the control unit 512 multiplies the movement amount of the operation information (intermediate data) by the pixel conversion parameter (0.05) to calculate the movement amount of the pointer (cursor 111). Note that the numbers after the decimal point are rounded off. Accordingly, the pointer (cursor 111) moves according to the operation of the remote controller 150. Since the pixel conversion parameter (0.05) is smaller than the pixel conversion parameter (0.1) when the click operation is not performed, the amount of movement of the pointer (cursor 111) is small.
 そして、レコード群1003に示されるように、クリック操作が行われた状態でスティックを中央に戻す操作が行われた場合、操作情報の移動量が、拡大された不感領域内であれば、制御部512は、中間データとして、当該移動量を(0,0)に更新する。この結果、ポインター移動量も(0,0)となる。図10で示す例では、図9で示す例と比べて、不感領域が広い。このため、ユーザは、クリック操作を行っている状態では、スティックを正確に中央に戻さずとも、スティックの移動を停止できるため、操作負担を軽減できる。 Then, as shown in the record group 1003, when an operation for returning the stick to the center is performed in a state where the click operation has been performed, if the movement amount of the operation information is within the enlarged insensitive area, the control unit 512 updates the movement amount to (0, 0) as intermediate data. As a result, the pointer movement amount is also (0, 0). In the example shown in FIG. 10, the insensitive area is wider than the example shown in FIG. 9. For this reason, when the user is performing a click operation, the movement of the stick can be stopped without accurately returning the stick to the center, so that the operation burden can be reduced.
 さらに、レコード群1004に示されるように、再びドラッグ操作が行われた場合、操作情報の移動量が不感領域外になったことをトリガーとして、制御部512が、中間データの段階では特に処理を行わなくなり、ポインター(カーソル111)の移動が開始される。 Furthermore, as shown in the record group 1004, when a drag operation is performed again, the control unit 512 performs processing particularly at the intermediate data stage, triggered by the movement amount of the operation information being outside the insensitive area. The movement of the pointer (cursor 111) is started.
 このように、算出されたポインター(カーソル111)移動量と、クリック操作と、が、マウスドライバ504からOS503に出力される。 Thus, the calculated pointer (cursor 111) movement amount and click operation are output from the mouse driver 504 to the OS 503.
 OS503は、テレビジョン放送表示装置100全体を制御する。OS503は、マウスドライバ504からポインター(カーソル111)移動量と、クリック操作とを受け取ると共に、受け取ったポインター移動量とクリック操作に応じた処理を行う。さらに、OS503は、必要に応じて、マウスドライバ504から受け取ったポインター(カーソル111)移動量やクリック操作を、第1アプリケーション501や、第2アプリケーション502に受け渡す。 The OS 503 controls the entire television broadcast display device 100. The OS 503 receives the pointer (cursor 111) movement amount and the click operation from the mouse driver 504, and performs processing according to the received pointer movement amount and the click operation. Furthermore, the OS 503 delivers the pointer (cursor 111) movement amount and click operation received from the mouse driver 504 to the first application 501 and the second application 502 as necessary.
 第1アプリケーション501、及び第2アプリケーション502は、テレビジョン放送表示装置100がユーザに対してサービスを提供するために、OS503上で実現されるプログラムとする。第1アプリケーション501、及び第2アプリケーション502は、OS503から、ポインター(カーソル111)移動量や、クリック操作を受け取り、当該操作に従って様々な処理を行う。 The first application 501 and the second application 502 are programs implemented on the OS 503 so that the television broadcast display apparatus 100 provides a service to the user. The first application 501 and the second application 502 receive a pointer (cursor 111) movement amount and a click operation from the OS 503, and perform various processes according to the operation.
 次に、本実施形態にかかるマウスドライバ504における、全体的な処理について説明する。図11は、本実施形態にかかるマウスドライバ504における上述した処理の手順を示すフローチャートである。 Next, overall processing in the mouse driver 504 according to the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing the above-described processing procedure in the mouse driver 504 according to the present embodiment.
 まず、マウスドライバ504の受信部511が、受光部429からリモートコントローラ150の操作情報として、移動量とクリックビットとを受信する(ステップS1101)。 First, the receiving unit 511 of the mouse driver 504 receives the movement amount and the click bit as the operation information of the remote controller 150 from the light receiving unit 429 (step S1101).
 次に、制御部512が、クリックビットが“on”であるか否かを判定する(ステップS1102)。クリックビットが“on”でない場合、換言すればスティック211の押下が行われていない場合(ステップS1102:No)、制御部512は、受信したX軸方向及びY軸方向の移動量が、絶対値“20”以下の不感領域602に含まれているか否かを判定する(ステップS1103)。制御部512は、移動量が、不感領域602に含まれていると判定した場合(ステップS1103:Yes)、移動量を(0,0)に更新する(ステップS1104)。 Next, the control unit 512 determines whether or not the click bit is “on” (step S1102). When the click bit is not “on”, in other words, when the stick 211 is not pressed (step S1102: No), the control unit 512 indicates that the received movement amounts in the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction are absolute values. It is determined whether or not it is included in the insensitive area 602 of “20” or less (step S1103). When it is determined that the movement amount is included in the insensitive area 602 (step S1103: Yes), the control unit 512 updates the movement amount to (0, 0) (step S1104).
 次に、制御部512は、受信した移動量が不感領域602に含まれていないと判定した場合(ステップS1103:No)、又はステップS1104の処理が終了した後、移動量にピクセル変換パラメータ(0.1)を乗算してポインター(カーソル111)移動量を算出する(ステップS1105)。 Next, when the control unit 512 determines that the received movement amount is not included in the insensitive area 602 (step S1103: No), or after the processing of step S1104 is completed, the pixel conversion parameter (0 .1) is multiplied to calculate the amount of movement of the pointer (cursor 111) (step S1105).
 一方、ステップS1102において、クリックビットが“on”である場合、換言すればスティック211が押下されている場合(ステップS1102:Yes)、制御部512は、受信したX軸方向及びY軸方向の移動量が、絶対値“50”以下の不感領域702に含まれているか否かを判定する(ステップS1107)。制御部512は、移動量が不感領域702に含まれていると判定した場合(ステップS1107:Yes)、移動量を(0,0)に更新する(ステップS1108)。 On the other hand, when the click bit is “on” in step S1102, in other words, when the stick 211 is pressed (step S1102: Yes), the control unit 512 moves in the received X-axis direction and Y-axis direction. It is determined whether or not the amount is included in a dead area 702 having an absolute value “50” or less (step S1107). When it is determined that the movement amount is included in the insensitive area 702 (step S1107: Yes), the control unit 512 updates the movement amount to (0, 0) (step S1108).
 次に、制御部512は、受信した移動量が不感領域702に含まれていないと判定した場合(ステップS1107:No)、又はステップS1108の処理が終了した後、移動量にピクセル変換パラメータ(0.05)を乗算してポインター(カーソル111)移動量を算出する(ステップS1109)。 Next, the control unit 512 determines that the received movement amount is not included in the insensitive area 702 (step S1107: No), or after the process of step S1108 is completed, the pixel conversion parameter (0 .05) to calculate the amount of movement of the pointer (cursor 111) (step S1109).
 そして、制御部512は、OS503に対して、ポインター(カーソル111)移動量と、クリックビット(クリック操作されているか否かを示す情報)と、を出力する(ステップS1106)。 Then, the control unit 512 outputs a pointer (cursor 111) movement amount and a click bit (information indicating whether or not a click operation is performed) to the OS 503 (step S1106).
 従来、クリック操作が行われた状態では、ニュートラルな状態を維持するのが難しかったが、本実施形態のマウスドライバ504は、クリック操作が行われた状態では、不感領域を拡大することで、ニュートラルな状態を維持するのを容易にした。さらには、クリック操作時にポインター(カーソル111)移動速度を遅くすることで、ユーザがポインター(カーソル111)を所望する位置まで移動させるのを容易にさせる。 Conventionally, it has been difficult to maintain a neutral state in a state where a click operation is performed, but the mouse driver 504 of the present embodiment expands a dead area in a state where a click operation is performed, so that a neutral state is achieved. It was easy to maintain the state. Further, by slowing down the moving speed of the pointer (cursor 111) during the click operation, the user can easily move the pointer (cursor 111) to a desired position.
 本実施形態のマウスドライバ504は、上述した構成を備えることで、マウスと同等のドラッグ操作を実現できる。これにより、ユーザの操作性の向上を実現できる。 The mouse driver 504 of the present embodiment can realize a drag operation equivalent to a mouse by having the above-described configuration. Thereby, improvement of user operability can be realized.
 また、本実施形態のテレビジョン放送表示装置100と、リモートコントローラ150と、の間の通信が赤外線通信の場合について説明したが、赤外線通信に制限するものではなく、Bluetooth(登録商標)などの無線通信を利用しても良い。 Moreover, although the case where communication between the television broadcast display apparatus 100 of this embodiment and the remote controller 150 is infrared communication was demonstrated, it is not restrict | limited to infrared communication and wireless, such as Bluetooth (trademark). Communication may be used.
