 なお、圧電フィルム11P1は、圧電性を有するフィルムであればよいが、好ましくは、一軸延伸されたポリ乳酸(PLA)、さらにはL型ポリ乳酸(PLLA)によって形成されていることが好ましい。 The piezoelectric film 11P1 may be a film having piezoelectricity, but is preferably formed of uniaxially stretched polylactic acid (PLA), and further L-type polylactic acid (PLLA).
 PLLAは、キラル高分子であり、主鎖が螺旋構造を有する。PLLAは、一軸延伸され、分子が配向すると、圧電性を有する。そして、一軸延伸されたPLLAは、圧電フィルムの平膜面が押圧されることにより、電荷を発生する。この際、発生する電荷量は、押圧により平膜面が、当該平膜面に直交する方向へ変位する変位量によって一意的に決定される。一軸延伸されたPLLAの圧電定数は、高分子中で非常に高い部類に属する。 PLLA is a chiral polymer, and the main chain has a helical structure. PLLA is uniaxially stretched and has piezoelectricity when the molecules are oriented. The uniaxially stretched PLLA generates electric charges when the flat film surface of the piezoelectric film is pressed. At this time, the amount of charge generated is uniquely determined by the amount of displacement of the flat membrane surface in the direction orthogonal to the flat membrane surface by pressing. The piezoelectric constant of uniaxially stretched PLLA belongs to a very high class among polymers.
 したがって、PLLAを用いることで、押圧による変位を確実且つ高感度に検出することができる。すなわち、押圧を確実に検出し、押圧量を高感度に検出することができる。 Therefore, by using PLLA, displacement due to pressing can be detected reliably and with high sensitivity. That is, it is possible to reliably detect the pressure and detect the amount of pressure with high sensitivity.
 なお、延伸倍率は3~8倍程度が好適である。延伸後に熱処理を施すことにより、ポリ乳酸の延びきり鎖結晶の結晶化が促進され圧電定数が向上する。なお、二軸延伸した場合はそれぞれの軸の延伸倍率を異ならせることによって一軸延伸と同様の効果を得ることが出来る。例えばある方向をX軸としてX軸方向に8倍、X軸に直交するY軸方向に2倍の延伸を施した場合、圧電定数に関してはおよそX軸方向に4倍の一軸延伸を施した場合とほぼ同等の効果が得られる。単純に一軸延伸したフィルムは延伸軸方向に沿って裂け易いため、前述したような二軸延伸を行うことにより幾分強度を増すことができる。 The draw ratio is preferably about 3 to 8 times. By performing a heat treatment after stretching, crystallization of the extended chain crystal of polylactic acid is promoted and the piezoelectric constant is improved. In addition, when biaxial stretching is performed, the same effect as uniaxial stretching can be obtained by varying the stretching ratio of each axis. For example, when a certain direction is the X axis, the X axis direction is 8 times, and the Y axis direction orthogonal to the X axis is doubled, and the piezoelectric constant is about 4 times uniaxially stretched in the X axis direction. Is almost the same effect. A film that is simply uniaxially stretched easily tears along the direction of the stretch axis, and thus the strength can be increased somewhat by performing biaxial stretching as described above.
 また、PLLAは、延伸等による分子の配向処理で圧電性を生じ、PVDF等の他のポリマーや圧電セラミックスのように、ポーリング処理を行う必要がない。すなわち、強誘電体に属さないPLLAの圧電性は、PVDFやPZT等の強誘電体のようにイオンの分極によって発現するものではなく、分子の特徴的な構造である螺旋構造に由来するものである。 In addition, PLLA generates piezoelectricity by molecular orientation processing such as stretching, and there is no need to perform poling processing like other polymers such as PVDF and piezoelectric ceramics. That is, the piezoelectricity of PLLA that does not belong to ferroelectrics is not expressed by the polarization of ions like ferroelectrics such as PVDF and PZT, but is derived from a helical structure that is a characteristic structure of molecules. is there.
 このため、PLLAには、他の強誘電性の圧電体で生じる焦電性が生じない。さらに、PVDF等は経時的に圧電定数の変動が見られ、場合によっては圧電定数が著しく低下する場合があるが、PLLAの圧電定数は経時的に極めて安定している。したがって、周囲環境に影響されることなく、押圧による変位を高感度に検出することができる。 Therefore, the pyroelectricity generated in other ferroelectric piezoelectric materials does not occur in PLLA. Further, PVDF or the like shows a change in piezoelectric constant over time, and in some cases, the piezoelectric constant may be significantly reduced, but the piezoelectric constant of PLLA is extremely stable over time. Therefore, it is possible to detect displacement due to pressing with high sensitivity without being affected by the surrounding environment.
 このような一軸延伸処理された圧電フィルム11P1は、図2、図4に示すように、筐体100の側面に沿った直交二方向に対して、一軸延伸方向900が略45°の角度を成すように、筐体100に配置されることが好ましい。このような配置を行うことで、より高感度に変位を検出できる。したがって、押圧および押圧量をより高感度に検出することができる。 In such a uniaxially stretched piezoelectric film 11P1, the uniaxially stretched direction 900 forms an angle of approximately 45 ° with respect to the two orthogonal directions along the side surface of the housing 100, as shown in FIGS. Thus, it is preferable to arrange in the housing 100. By performing such an arrangement, the displacement can be detected with higher sensitivity. Therefore, it is possible to detect the pressing and the pressing amount with higher sensitivity.
 押圧検出電極11P2,11P3は、図2、図4に示すように、ポリチオフェンやポリアニリンを主成分とする有機電極、ITO、ZnO、銀ナノワイヤ、カーボンナノチューブ、グラフェン等の無機電極のいずれかを用いるのが好適である。これらの材料を用いることで、透光性の高い導体パターンを形成できる。 As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 4, the pressure detection electrodes 11P2 and 11P3 use either organic electrodes mainly composed of polythiophene or polyaniline, or inorganic electrodes such as ITO, ZnO, silver nanowires, carbon nanotubes, and graphene. Is preferred. By using these materials, a highly translucent conductor pattern can be formed.
 図1、図2に示すように、筐体100の内部における操作入力部10の他方の主面には、表示部30が配置されている。表示部30は、所謂フラットディスプレイからなり、ここでは、具体的に液晶表示素子からなる。表示部30は、液晶パネル301、表面偏光板302、裏面偏光板303、バックライト304を備える。表面偏光板302と裏面偏光板303は、液晶パネル301を挟むように配置されている。バックライト304は、裏面偏光板303を挟んで、液晶パネル301と反対側に配置されている。 As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a display unit 30 is disposed on the other main surface of the operation input unit 10 inside the housing 100. The display unit 30 includes a so-called flat display, and specifically includes a liquid crystal display element. The display unit 30 includes a liquid crystal panel 301, a front polarizing plate 302, a back polarizing plate 303, and a backlight 304. The front polarizing plate 302 and the back polarizing plate 303 are arranged so as to sandwich the liquid crystal panel 301 therebetween. The backlight 304 is disposed on the opposite side of the liquid crystal panel 301 with the back polarizing plate 303 interposed therebetween.
 次に、図5に示すように、表示装置1は、操作入力部10、制御部20、記憶部21、RAM22、表示部30、無線LAN通信部60、3G通信部61、及びバッテリ70を備える。 Next, as illustrated in FIG. 5, the display device 1 includes an operation input unit 10, a control unit 20, a storage unit 21, a RAM 22, a display unit 30, a wireless LAN communication unit 60, a 3G communication unit 61, and a battery 70. .
 なお、制御部20及びRAM22が、本発明の「ページ管理部」を構成する。 The control unit 20 and the RAM 22 constitute a “page management unit” of the present invention.
 記憶部21は、例えばフラッシュメモリで構成されている。記憶部21は、表示装置1の各部の制御方法が記述された制御プログラムを保存する。この制御プログラムには、後述するブラウザソフトを含む複数のアプリケーションソフトがインストールされている。 The storage unit 21 is composed of, for example, a flash memory. The storage unit 21 stores a control program in which a control method for each unit of the display device 1 is described. A plurality of application software including browser software to be described later is installed in this control program.
 制御部20は、例えばCPUで構成されている。また、制御部20は、現在時刻や現在日を計時するタイマー回路を有している。制御部20は、記憶部21に保存されている制御プログラムに従って、表示装置1の各部の動作を制御する。制御部20は、当該制御プログラムで処理されるデータをRAM22に展開する。 The control unit 20 is constituted by a CPU, for example. The control unit 20 also has a timer circuit that measures the current time and the current date. The control unit 20 controls the operation of each unit of the display device 1 according to a control program stored in the storage unit 21. The control unit 20 expands data processed by the control program in the RAM 22.
 操作入力部10は、例えばタッチパネルで構成されている。操作入力部10は、押圧センサ11P及びタッチセンサ11Dを有する。さらに、表示装置1は、起動したアプリケーションソフトを終了させる物理的な終了キー(不図示)を備える。 The operation input unit 10 is composed of, for example, a touch panel. The operation input unit 10 includes a press sensor 11P and a touch sensor 11D. Further, the display device 1 includes a physical end key (not shown) that ends the activated application software.
 押圧センサ11Pは、操作入力部10の操作面101が押圧されると、押圧量(押圧力)に応じた信号レベルDSpの押圧検出信号を生成する。押圧センサ11Pは、押圧検出信号を制御部20へ出力する。 When the operation surface 101 of the operation input unit 10 is pressed, the pressing sensor 11P generates a pressing detection signal having a signal level D Sp corresponding to the pressing amount (pressing force). The press sensor 11P outputs a press detection signal to the control unit 20.
 タッチセンサ11Dは、静電容量センサであり、操作入力部10の各電極の検出容量の値を示す操作検出信号を生成する。操作検出信号の信号レベルDSdは、ユーザの指がタッチセンサ11Dに近接もしくは接触した際に生じる静電容量の変化量に依存している。タッチセンサ11Dは、生成した操作検出信号を制御部20へ出力する。 The touch sensor 11 </ b> D is a capacitance sensor, and generates an operation detection signal indicating the value of the detection capacitance of each electrode of the operation input unit 10. The signal level DSd of the operation detection signal depends on the amount of change in capacitance that occurs when the user's finger approaches or touches the touch sensor 11D. The touch sensor 11D outputs the generated operation detection signal to the control unit 20.
 制御部20は、タッチセンサ11Dから出力された操作検出信号の信号レベルDSdが所定閾値よりも大きいことを検出すると、その操作検出信号から操作位置を取得する。 When the control unit 20 detects that the signal level DSd of the operation detection signal output from the touch sensor 11D is larger than a predetermined threshold, the control unit 20 acquires the operation position from the operation detection signal.
 制御部20は、押圧検出信号と操作検出信号とに基づいて、操作入力内容を決定する。この際、制御部20は、記憶部21を操作入力内容の判断処理用の記憶領域として用いる。制御部20は、決定した操作入力内容に基づく画像データを生成し、表示部30へ出力する。 The control unit 20 determines the operation input content based on the press detection signal and the operation detection signal. At this time, the control unit 20 uses the storage unit 21 as a storage area for operation input content determination processing. The control unit 20 generates image data based on the determined operation input content and outputs it to the display unit 30.
 表示部30は、画像データに基づいて操作面101に画像を表示する。 The display unit 30 displays an image on the operation surface 101 based on the image data.

The wireless LAN communication unit 60 communicates with a server device (not shown) via a wireless LAN router connected to the Internet. The 3G communication unit 61 communicates with a server device (not shown) via a base station connected to the mobile phone network.
 バッテリ70は、表示装置1の各部に対してDC動作電源の供給を行う。 The battery 70 supplies DC operating power to each part of the display device 1.
 次に、制御部20のブラウザソフト起動時の動作について、図6、図7、図8を参照して説明する。図6は、図5に示す制御部20が実行する処理を示すフローチャートである。図7は、図1に示す操作面101に表示される第1のページの一例を示す図である。図8は、図1に示す操作面101に表示される第2のページの一例を示す図である。 Next, the operation of the control unit 20 when the browser software is activated will be described with reference to FIG. 6, FIG. 7, and FIG. FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing processing executed by the control unit 20 shown in FIG. FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an example of the first page displayed on the operation surface 101 illustrated in FIG. 1. FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an example of the second page displayed on the operation surface 101 illustrated in FIG. 1.
 制御部20は、操作面101に表示される複数のアプリケーションソフトのアイコンの内ブラウザソフトのアイコンをユーザがタッチすると、ブラウザソフトを起動する(S1)。 When the user touches the browser software icon among the plurality of application software icons displayed on the operation surface 101, the control unit 20 starts the browser software (S1).
 制御部20は、ブラウザソフトを起動すると、ブラウザソフトに予め設定されているホームページのURLをブラウザソフトのURL入力欄に指定する(S2)。これにより、制御部20は、無線LAN通信部60又は3G通信部61によって、指定されたURLにアクセスし、そのURLのデータをサーバ装置(不図示)からダウンロードする。当該データは、HTML(HyperText Markup Language)、画像データ、CSS(Cascading Style Sheets)を含む。 When the browser software is started, the control unit 20 designates the URL of the home page preset in the browser software in the URL input field of the browser software (S2). Thereby, the control unit 20 accesses the designated URL by the wireless LAN communication unit 60 or the 3G communication unit 61, and downloads data of the URL from a server device (not shown). The data includes HTML (HyperText Markup Language), image data, and CSS (Cascading Style Sheets).
 次に、制御部20は、ダウンロードしたHTMLの記述に従ってホームページを表示するよう表示部30に指示する(S3)。 Next, the control unit 20 instructs the display unit 30 to display the home page according to the description of the downloaded HTML (S3).
 そして、制御部20は、操作面101が押圧されたかどうか(S4)、前述した終了キーが操作されたかどうか(S5)、操作面101に表示されているリンク等が操作されたかどうか(S6)、を判定する。S4において制御部20は、押圧センサ11Pから出力された押圧検出信号の信号レベルDSpが所定閾値以上であるかどうかを判定する。この信号レベルDSpは、押圧力に応じた値を示している。 Then, the control unit 20 determines whether or not the operation surface 101 has been pressed (S4), whether or not the above-described end key has been operated (S5), and whether or not a link displayed on the operation surface 101 has been operated (S6). , Is determined. In S4, the control unit 20 determines whether or not the signal level D Sp of the pressure detection signal output from the pressure sensor 11P is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold value. This signal level D Sp indicates a value corresponding to the pressing force.
 S6において、操作面101に表示されているリンクやブックマークをユーザがタッチしたとき、又はユーザが所定のURLをブラウザソフトのURL入力欄に直接入力したとき、制御部20は、リンクのURL、ブックマークのURL又は直接入力されたURLを、URL入力欄に指定する(S7)。 In S6, when the user touches a link or bookmark displayed on the operation surface 101, or when the user directly inputs a predetermined URL into the URL input field of the browser software, the control unit 20 displays the URL of the link, the bookmark. Or a directly input URL is designated in the URL input field (S7).
 これにより、制御部20は、無線LAN通信部60又は3G通信部61によって、指定されたURLにアクセスし、そのURLのデータをサーバ装置(不図示)からダウンロードする。そして、制御部20は、ダウンロードしたHTMLの記述に従ってページを表示するよう表示部30に指示し(S3)、処理を継続する。 Thereby, the control unit 20 accesses the designated URL by the wireless LAN communication unit 60 or the 3G communication unit 61, and downloads data of the URL from a server device (not shown). Then, the control unit 20 instructs the display unit 30 to display the page in accordance with the downloaded HTML description (S3), and continues the processing.
 一方、S5において、ブラウザソフトを起動して直ぐにユーザが終了キーを操作した場合や、操作面101を押圧せずにユーザが終了キーを操作した場合、制御部20は、ブラウザソフトを終了する(S19)。 On the other hand, in S5, when the user operates the end key immediately after starting the browser software, or when the user operates the end key without pressing the operation surface 101, the control unit 20 ends the browser software ( S19).
 ここで、S3~S7では、ユーザが、操作面101をタッチすることで、インターネット上のウェブサイトを検索したり、リンクをたどったりし、次々と閲覧して回る場面を想定している。この場面において、後でもう一度見たいページがあった場合、ユーザは、そのページが操作面101に表示されているときに操作面101を指等で押圧する。 Here, in S3 to S7, it is assumed that the user touches the operation surface 101 to search a website on the Internet, follow a link, and browse one after another. In this scene, when there is a page to be viewed again later, the user presses the operation surface 101 with a finger or the like when the page is displayed on the operation surface 101.
 押圧センサ11Pから出力された押圧検出信号の信号レベルDSpが所定閾値以上であることを判定すると(S4のY)、制御部20は、現在のページを第1のページとして扱い(例えば図7参照)、第1のページの内容を示すページ情報をRAM22に保存する(S8)。当該ページ情報は、HTML、画像データ、及びCSS等である。 When it is determined that the signal level D Sp of the pressure detection signal output from the pressure sensor 11P is equal to or higher than the predetermined threshold (Y in S4), the control unit 20 treats the current page as the first page (for example, FIG. 7). The page information indicating the contents of the first page is stored in the RAM 22 (S8). The page information includes HTML, image data, CSS, and the like.
 なお、本実施形態においてページ情報は、HTML、画像データ、及びCSS等を用いるが、これに限るものではない。実施の際は例えば、第1のページの内容を示す第1のページのHTMLだけ、又は第1のページの存在位置を示す第1のページのURLだけを用いても良い。 In this embodiment, the page information uses HTML, image data, CSS, etc., but is not limited thereto. For example, only the HTML of the first page indicating the contents of the first page or only the URL of the first page indicating the location of the first page may be used.
 そして、制御部20は、前述した終了キーが操作されたかどうか(S9)、操作面101に表示されているリンク等が操作されたかどうか(S10)、操作面101が再押圧されたかどうか(S11)、操作面101が長押しされたかどうか(S12)、を判定する。S11において制御部20はS4と同様に、押圧センサ11Pから出力された押圧検出信号の信号レベルDSpが所定閾値以上であるかどうかを判定する。また、S12において制御部20は、所定閾値以上の信号レベルDSpが一定時間以上継続したかどうかを判定する。 Then, the control unit 20 determines whether the above-described end key is operated (S9), whether a link displayed on the operation surface 101 is operated (S10), and whether the operation surface 101 is pressed again (S11). ), Whether or not the operation surface 101 has been pressed for a long time is determined (S12). In S11, similarly to S4, the control unit 20 determines whether or not the signal level D Sp of the pressure detection signal output from the pressure sensor 11P is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold value. In S12, the control unit 20 determines whether or not the signal level D Sp equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold has continued for a certain period of time.
 操作面101に表示されているリンクやブックマークをユーザがタッチしたとき、又はユーザが所定のURLをブラウザソフトのURL入力欄に直接入力したとき、制御部20は、リンクのURL、ブックマークのURL又は直接入力されたURLを、URL入力欄に指定する(S13)。 When the user touches a link or bookmark displayed on the operation surface 101, or when the user directly inputs a predetermined URL into the URL input field of the browser software, the control unit 20 displays the URL of the link, the bookmark URL, The directly input URL is designated in the URL input field (S13).
 これにより、制御部20は、無線LAN通信部60又は3G通信部61によって、指定されたURLにアクセスし、そのURLのデータ(具体的にはHTML、画像データ、及びCSS)をサーバ装置(不図示)からダウンロードする。 As a result, the control unit 20 accesses the designated URL by the wireless LAN communication unit 60 or the 3G communication unit 61, and the data of the URL (specifically, HTML, image data, and CSS) is transmitted to the server device (not specified). Download from (shown).
 次に、制御部20は、ダウンロードしたHTMLの記述に従ってページを表示するよう表示部30に指示する(S14)。そして、制御部20は、S9に戻り、処理を継続する。 Next, the control unit 20 instructs the display unit 30 to display the page according to the description of the downloaded HTML (S14). Then, the control unit 20 returns to S9 and continues the process.
 ここで、S9~S14では、ユーザが、操作面101をタッチすることで、インターネット上のウェブサイトを検索したり、リンクをたどったりし、次々と閲覧して回る場面を想定している。この場面では、ユーザが次々と閲覧して回ることで、第1のページと異なる第2のページが操作面101に表示される(例えば図8参照)。 Here, in S9 to S14, it is assumed that the user touches the operation surface 101 to search a website on the Internet, follow a link, and browse one after another. In this scene, as the user browses and turns around one after another, a second page different from the first page is displayed on the operation surface 101 (see, for example, FIG. 8).
 この場面において、もう一度、第1のページを操作面101に表示させたいとユーザが考えた場合、ユーザは、第2のページが操作面101に表示されているときに操作面101を指等で押圧する。 In this scene, when the user wants to display the first page on the operation surface 101 again, the user can touch the operation surface 101 with a finger or the like when the second page is displayed on the operation surface 101. Press.
 押圧センサ11Pから出力された押圧検出信号の信号レベルDSpが所定閾値以上であることを判定すると(S11のY)、制御部20は、第1のページのページ情報(本実施形態ではHTML、画像データ、及びCSS)を、RAM22から読み取る(S15)。 When it is determined that the signal level D Sp of the pressure detection signal output from the pressure sensor 11P is greater than or equal to a predetermined threshold (Y in S11), the control unit 20 displays page information of the first page (in this embodiment, HTML, Image data and CSS) are read from the RAM 22 (S15).
 なお、S15において、第1のページのページ情報として第1のページのURLを、RAM22から読み取る場合、制御部20はさらに、無線LAN通信部60又は3G通信部61によって、読み取ったURLにアクセスし、そのURLのデータをサーバ装置(不図示)からダウンロードする。 In S15, when the URL of the first page is read from the RAM 22 as the page information of the first page, the control unit 20 further accesses the read URL by the wireless LAN communication unit 60 or the 3G communication unit 61. The URL data is downloaded from a server device (not shown).
 次に、制御部20は、RAM22から読み取ったページ情報に従って第1のページを表示するよう表示部30に指示する(S16)。そして、制御部20は、S9に戻り、処理を継続する。 Next, the control unit 20 instructs the display unit 30 to display the first page according to the page information read from the RAM 22 (S16). Then, the control unit 20 returns to S9 and continues the process.
 これにより、もう一度、第1のページが操作面101に表示される(例えば図7参照)。そのため、この構成では、ユーザは、第2のページから第1のページに戻すための操作を複数回繰り返す必要がない。 Thereby, the first page is displayed again on the operation surface 101 (see, for example, FIG. 7). Therefore, in this configuration, the user does not need to repeat the operation for returning from the second page to the first page a plurality of times.
 したがって、この構成によれば、ユーザの使い勝手を向上させることができる。 Therefore, according to this configuration, user convenience can be improved.
 次に、第1のページをリセットしたいと考えた場合、ユーザは、操作面101を指等で一定時間以上押圧する。 Next, when the user wants to reset the first page, the user presses the operation surface 101 with a finger or the like for a predetermined time or more.
 所定閾値以上の信号レベルDSpが一定時間以上継続したことを判定すると(S12のY)、制御部20は、RAM22に保存されている第1のページのページ情報を消去する(S17)。そして、制御部20は、S4に戻り、処理を継続する。 When it is determined that the signal level D Sp equal to or greater than the predetermined threshold has continued for a certain time (Y in S12), the control unit 20 erases the page information of the first page stored in the RAM 22 (S17). Then, the control unit 20 returns to S4 and continues the process.
 これにより、第1のページのページ情報がRAM22から消去され、ユーザは、第1のページを新たに決め直すことができる。 Thereby, the page information of the first page is erased from the RAM 22, and the user can newly determine the first page.
 最後に、ユーザが終了キーを操作した場合(S9のY)、制御部20は、RAM22に保存されている第1のページのページ情報を消去する(S18)。そして、制御部20は、ブラウザソフトを終了する(S19)。 Finally, when the user operates the end key (Y in S9), the control unit 20 erases the page information of the first page stored in the RAM 22 (S18). Then, the control unit 20 ends the browser software (S19).
 次に、本発明の第2の実施形態に係る表示装置について、図を参照して説明する。 Next, a display device according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

 第2の実施形態の表示装置2の構成は、第1の実施形態の表示装置1の構成と同じである。第2の実施形態の表示装置2と第1の実施形態の表示装置1とが相違する点は、表示部30の表示方法と制御部20が実行する処理とである。 The configuration of the display device 2 of the second embodiment is the same as the configuration of the display device 1 of the first embodiment. The difference between the display device 2 of the second embodiment and the display device 1 of the first embodiment is the display method of the display unit 30 and the processing executed by the control unit 20.
 詳述すると、図10に示すように、表示部30は、操作面101内に複数のウィンドウ111、112を設け、各ウィンドウ111、112内で画像を表示する。そして、図9に示すように、第2の実施形態に係る表示装置2の制御部20が実行する処理は、図6におけるS3、S7、S8、S11、S15、S16をS21~S24、S26、S27に置き換え、S25とS28を追加したものである。その他の処理(S1、S2、S4~S6、S9、S10、S12~S14、S17~S19)については、図6に示す処理と同じであるため、説明を省略する。 More specifically, as shown in FIG. 10, the display unit 30 includes a plurality of windows 111 and 112 in the operation surface 101 and displays an image in each of the windows 111 and 112. As shown in FIG. 9, the processing executed by the control unit 20 of the display device 2 according to the second embodiment includes S3, S7, S8, S11, S15, and S16 in FIG. It is replaced with S27 and S25 and S28 are added. The other processes (S1, S2, S4 to S6, S9, S10, S12 to S14, and S17 to S19) are the same as the processes shown in FIG.
 まず、制御部20は、サーバ装置(不図示)からダウンロードしたHTMLの記述に従ってホームページを各表示領域で表示するよう表示部30に指示する(S21)。 First, the control unit 20 instructs the display unit 30 to display a home page in each display area according to the description of HTML downloaded from a server device (not shown) (S21).
 そして、制御部20は、操作面101が押圧されたかどうか(S4)、前述した終了キーが操作されたかどうか(S5)、操作面101に表示されているリンク等が操作されたかどうか(S6)、を判定する。 Then, the control unit 20 determines whether or not the operation surface 101 has been pressed (S4), whether or not the above-described end key has been operated (S5), and whether or not a link displayed on the operation surface 101 has been operated (S6). , Is determined.
 操作面101に表示されているリンクやブックマークをユーザがタッチしたとき、又はユーザが所定のURLをブラウザソフトのURL入力欄に直接入力したとき、制御部20は、リンクのURL、ブックマークのURL又は直接入力されたURLを、操作された表示領域のURL入力欄に指定する(S22)。 When the user touches a link or bookmark displayed on the operation surface 101, or when the user directly inputs a predetermined URL into the URL input field of the browser software, the control unit 20 displays the URL of the link, the bookmark URL, The directly input URL is designated in the URL input field of the operated display area (S22).
 これにより、制御部20は、無線LAN通信部60又は3G通信部61によって、指定されたURLにアクセスし、そのURLのデータをサーバ装置(不図示)からダウンロードする。そして、制御部20は、ダウンロードしたHTMLの記述に従ってページを表示するよう表示部30に指示し(S3)、処理を継続する。 Thereby, the control unit 20 accesses the designated URL by the wireless LAN communication unit 60 or the 3G communication unit 61, and downloads data of the URL from a server device (not shown). Then, the control unit 20 instructs the display unit 30 to display the page in accordance with the downloaded HTML description (S3), and continues the processing.
 そして、表示装置2において、S4~S6、S21、S22では、ユーザが、操作面101の各ウィンドウ111、112内をタッチすることで、インターネット上のウェブサイトを検索したり、リンクをたどったりし、次々と閲覧して回る場面を想定している。 In the display device 2, in S4 to S6, S21, and S22, the user searches the website on the Internet or follows the link by touching the windows 111 and 112 of the operation surface 101. Suppose you are browsing around one after another.
 この場面において、後でもう一度見たいページがあった場合、ユーザは、そのページが操作面101に表示されているときに、そのページを表示しているウィンドウ内を指等で押圧する。 In this scene, when there is a page to be viewed again later, when the page is displayed on the operation surface 101, the user presses the inside of the window displaying the page with a finger or the like.
 押圧センサ11Pから出力された押圧検出信号の信号レベルDSpが所定閾値以上であることを判定すると(S4のY)、制御部20は、現在のページを第1のページとして扱うとともに、第1のページを表示している現在のウィンドウを第1の表示領域として扱い、第1のページのページ情報と第1の表示領域を識別する識別情報とをRAM22に保存する(S23)。 When it is determined that the signal level D Sp of the pressure detection signal output from the pressure sensor 11P is equal to or greater than the predetermined threshold (Y in S4), the control unit 20 treats the current page as the first page and also performs the first The current window displaying this page is handled as the first display area, and the page information of the first page and the identification information for identifying the first display area are stored in the RAM 22 (S23).
 例えば図10では、制御部20が、ウィンドウ111を第1の表示領域として扱い、ウィンドウ111に表示されている第1のページのページ情報とウィンドウ111を第1の表示領域として識別する識別情報とをRAM22に保存する。 For example, in FIG. 10, the control unit 20 treats the window 111 as the first display area, page information of the first page displayed in the window 111, and identification information that identifies the window 111 as the first display area Is stored in the RAM 22.
 そして、制御部20は、前述した終了キーが操作されたかどうか(S9)、操作面101に表示されているリンク等が操作されたかどうか(S10)、第1の表示領域内で操作面101が再押圧されたかどうか(S24)、操作面101が長押しされたかどうか(S12)、第2の表示領域内で操作面101が押圧されたかどうか(S25)、を判定する。 Then, the control unit 20 determines whether or not the above-described end key has been operated (S9), whether or not a link displayed on the operation surface 101 has been operated (S10), whether the operation surface 101 is within the first display area. It is determined whether or not the operation surface 101 is pressed again (S24), whether or not the operation surface 101 is pressed for a long time (S12), and whether or not the operation surface 101 is pressed within the second display area (S25).
 S24において制御部20は、第1の表示領域内で押圧され、押圧センサ11Pから出力された押圧検出信号の信号レベルDSpが所定閾値以上であるかどうかを判定する。また、S25において制御部20は、第2の表示領域内で押圧され、押圧センサ11Pから出力された押圧検出信号の信号レベルDSpが所定閾値以上であるかどうかを判定する。 In S24, the control unit 20 determines whether or not the signal level D Sp of the pressure detection signal that is pressed in the first display area and output from the pressure sensor 11P is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold value. In S25, the control unit 20 determines whether or not the signal level D Sp of the pressure detection signal that is pressed in the second display area and output from the pressure sensor 11P is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold value.
 ここで、S9、S10、S24、S12、及びS25では、ユーザが、操作面101の各ウィンドウ111、112内をタッチすることで、インターネット上のウェブサイトを検索したり、リンクをたどったりし、次々と閲覧して回る場面を想定している。この場面では、ユーザが次々と閲覧して回ることで、第1のページと異なる第2のページが第1の表示領域内に表示される。 Here, in S9, S10, S24, S12, and S25, the user searches for a website on the Internet or follows a link by touching each of the windows 111 and 112 of the operation surface 101. It is assumed that the user browses around one after another. In this scene, when the user browses and turns around, a second page different from the first page is displayed in the first display area.
 この場面において、もう一度、第1のページを操作面101の第1の表示領域内に表示させたいとユーザが考えた場合、ユーザは、第2のページが表示されている第1の表示領域内を指等で押圧する。例えば図11ではユーザは、第2のページが表示されているウィンドウ111内を指等で押圧する。 In this scene, if the user wants to display the first page again in the first display area of the operation surface 101, the user is in the first display area where the second page is displayed. Press with your finger. For example, in FIG. 11, the user presses the inside of the window 111 in which the second page is displayed with a finger or the like.
 第1の表示領域内で押圧され、押圧センサ11Pから出力された押圧検出信号の信号レベルDSpが所定閾値以上であることを判定すると(S24のY)、制御部20は、RAM22に保存されている第1のページのページ情報(本実施形態ではHTML、画像データ、及びCSS)を、RAM22から読み取る(S26)。 When it is determined that the signal level D Sp of the pressure detection signal that is pressed in the first display area and output from the pressure sensor 11P is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold (Y in S24), the control unit 20 is stored in the RAM 22. The page information of the first page (in this embodiment, HTML, image data, and CSS) is read from the RAM 22 (S26).
 次に、制御部20は、RAM22から読み取ったHTMLの記述に従って第1のページを第1の表示領域に表示するよう表示部30に指示する(S27)。そして、制御部20は、S9に戻り、処理を継続する。 Next, the control unit 20 instructs the display unit 30 to display the first page in the first display area in accordance with the HTML description read from the RAM 22 (S27). Then, the control unit 20 returns to S9 and continues the process.
 これにより、もう一度、第1のページが第1の表示領域に表示される。例えば図10に示すように、第1のページがウィンドウ111内に表示される。そのため、この構成では、ユーザは、第2のページから第1のページに戻すための操作を複数回繰り返す必要がない。 Thereby, the first page is displayed again in the first display area. For example, as shown in FIG. 10, the first page is displayed in the window 111. Therefore, in this configuration, the user does not need to repeat the operation for returning from the second page to the first page a plurality of times.
 したがって、第2の実施形態の表示装置2によれば、第1の実施形態の表示装置1と同様に、ユーザの使い勝手を向上させることができる。 Therefore, according to the display device 2 of the second embodiment, the user-friendliness can be improved as in the display device 1 of the first embodiment.
 次に、第1のページをリセットしたいと考えた場合、ユーザは、第2の表示領域内を指等で押圧する。例えば図11ではユーザは、ウィンドウ112内を指等で押圧する。 Next, when the user wants to reset the first page, the user presses the second display area with a finger or the like. For example, in FIG. 11, the user presses the inside of the window 112 with a finger or the like.
 第2の表示領域内で押圧され、押圧センサ11Pから出力された押圧検出信号の信号レベルDSpが所定閾値以上であることを判定すると(S25のY)、制御部20は、RAM22に保存されている第1のページのページ情報を消去する(S28)。そして、制御部20は、S4に戻り、処理を継続する。 If it is determined that the signal level D Sp of the pressure detection signal that is pressed in the second display area and output from the pressure sensor 11P is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold (Y in S25), the control unit 20 is stored in the RAM 22. The page information of the first page is erased (S28). Then, the control unit 20 returns to S4 and continues the process.
 これにより、第1のページのページ情報がRAM22から消去され、ユーザは、第1のページを新たに決めなおすことができる。 As a result, the page information of the first page is erased from the RAM 22, and the user can newly determine the first page.
 なお、前記各実施形態では表示部30が、通信手段によって受信されたページを操作面111に表示しているが、これに限るものではない。実施の際は例えば、表示装置がメモリーカードスロットを備え、メモリーカードスロットに差し込まれたメモリーカードから読み取ったページを操作面に表示してもよい。 In the above-described embodiments, the display unit 30 displays the page received by the communication unit on the operation surface 111, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the display device may include a memory card slot, and a page read from a memory card inserted into the memory card slot may be displayed on the operation surface.
 また、前記各実施形態ではブラウザソフトを起動しているが、これに限るものではない。本発明は例えば、ユーザが操作面への操作を繰り返すことで、操作面に表示されるページを切り替えていくタイプのアプリケーションソフト(例えば、ユーザが撮影した複数の写真を操作面に表示するアプリケーションソフト)にも適用できる。この場合、記憶管理部は、第1のページの存在位置を示すページ情報としてページ番号を記憶してもよい。 In each of the above embodiments, the browser software is activated, but the present invention is not limited to this. The present invention is, for example, a type of application software that switches a page displayed on the operation surface by repeatedly operating the operation surface (for example, application software that displays a plurality of photographs taken by the user on the operation surface). ). In this case, the storage management unit may store the page number as page information indicating the location of the first page.
 最後に、前記各実施形態の説明は、すべての点で例示であって、制限的なものではないと考えられるべきである。本発明の範囲は、上述の実施形態ではなく、特許請求の範囲によって示される。さらに、本発明の範囲には、特許請求の範囲と均等の意味および範囲内でのすべての変更が含まれることが意図される。 Finally, the description of each of the embodiments should be considered as illustrative in all points and not restrictive.
