Description

入力操作装置、及び、デジタル放送受信機Input operation device and digital broadcast receiver
　本発明は、タッチパネルを用いて入力操作を行なう入力操作装置、及び、デジタル放送受信機に関する。 The present invention relates to an input operation device that performs an input operation using a touch panel, and a digital broadcast receiver.
　タッチパネルを用いて入力操作を行なう技術として、特許文献１には放送受信機が開示されている。特許文献１に開示された技術では、受信部と、表示部と、提示処理部と、タッチパネルとを具備している。タッチパネルは、透明であり、表示部の画面上に設けられている。受信部は、データ放送を含む放送信号を受信する。提示処理部は、受信部に受信されたデータ放送を表す画像データを表示部に表示する。その画像データは、リモコン操作の対象となる複数のオブジェクトを含む。複数のオブジェクトは、画像データの表示領域に配置される。提示処理部は、複数のオブジェクトのうちの、現在選択されているオブジェクトの位置をカーソルにて表示する。 As a technique for performing an input operation using a touch panel, Patent Document 1 discloses a broadcast receiver. The technique disclosed in Patent Literature 1 includes a receiving unit, a display unit, a presentation processing unit, and a touch panel. The touch panel is transparent and is provided on the screen of the display unit. The receiving unit receives a broadcast signal including data broadcast. The presentation processing unit displays image data representing the data broadcast received by the receiving unit on the display unit. The image data includes a plurality of objects that are targets of remote control operation. The plurality of objects are arranged in a display area for image data. The presentation processing unit displays the position of the currently selected object among the plurality of objects with a cursor.
　特許文献１に開示された技術では、更に、タッチパネル制御部と、擬似リモコン制御部とを具備している。タッチパネル制御部は、ユーザがタッチパネルにタッチしたときの位置（座標）を指定するための位置情報を出力する。擬似リモコン制御部は、現在選択されているオブジェクトの位置を基準点とした場合、画像データの表示領域を上下左右方向にＮ分割し（例えばＮは４とする）、現在選択されているオブジェクト以外のオブジェクトのうちの、４個のオブジェクトのそれぞれに対して４個の分割表示領域を割り当てる。そこで、擬似リモコン制御部は、タッチパネル制御部から出力される位置情報が、４個の分割表示領域のうちの１つの分割表示領域を指定している場合、その旨を表すキー信号を出力する。この場合、提示処理部は、キー信号に従って、４個のオブジェクトのうちの、指定された分割表示領域に割り当てられたオブジェクトを遷移先のオブジェクトとして選択し、遷移先のオブジェクトの位置をカーソルにて表示する。 The technique disclosed in Patent Document 1 further includes a touch panel control unit and a pseudo remote control unit. The touch panel control unit outputs position information for designating a position (coordinates) when the user touches the touch panel. When the position of the currently selected object is used as a reference point, the pseudo remote controller control unit divides the display area of the image data into N parts in the vertical and horizontal directions (for example, N is 4), and other than the currently selected object Among the four objects, four divided display areas are assigned to each of the four objects. Therefore, when the position information output from the touch panel control unit designates one divided display area among the four divided display areas, the pseudo remote controller control unit outputs a key signal indicating that fact. In this case, in accordance with the key signal, the presentation processing unit selects an object assigned to the designated divided display area among the four objects as a transition destination object, and the position of the transition destination object is determined by the cursor. indicate.
　特許文献１の図２に開示された例では、複数のオブジェクトは、左から右方向に向かって上から順に第１～３、４、０、５、６～８オブジェクトが配置され、現在選択されているオブジェクトを第０オブジェクトとし、第０オブジェクトの位置を基準点として画像データの表示領域を上下左右方向に４分割した場合、第０～８オブジェクトのうちの第２、４、５、７オブジェクトは、それぞれ上、左、右、下方向の４個の分割表示領域に割り当てられている。 In the example disclosed in FIG. 2 of Patent Document 1, first to third, fourth, fourth, fifth, sixth to eighth objects are arranged from the left to the right in the order from the top, and are currently selected. The 0th object is the 0th object, and the display area of the image data is divided into four parts in the vertical and horizontal directions with the position of the 0th object as the reference point, the second, fourth, fifth, and seventh objects among the zeroth to eighth objects Are assigned to four divided display areas in the upper, left, right, and lower directions, respectively.
特開２００７－９６５６９号公報JP 2007-96569 A
　特許文献１の図２に開示された例では、ユーザがタッチパネルを通じて、第０オブジェクトの左方向に配置されている第４オブジェクトを選択したい場合、ユーザがタッチパネルを通じて左方向の分割表示領域を指定することにより、第４オブジェクトが遷移先のオブジェクトとして選択され、カーソルが第０オブジェクトから第４オブジェクトに移動する。しかしながら、ユーザは、現在選択されているオブジェクトの位置に応じて分割表示領域を指定する際に、９個のオブジェクトのうちの４個のオブジェクトが４個の分割表示領域に割り当てられていることを意識しなければならない。仮に分割表示領域を５以上に増やした場合でも、ユーザは、更に、オブジェクトの割り当て領域を意識しなければならない上に、操作が煩雑になる。 In the example disclosed in FIG. 2 of Patent Document 1, when the user wants to select the fourth object arranged in the left direction of the 0th object through the touch panel, the user designates the left divided display area through the touch panel. As a result, the fourth object is selected as the transition destination object, and the cursor moves from the zeroth object to the fourth object. However, when the user designates the divided display area according to the position of the currently selected object, it is confirmed that four of the nine objects are assigned to the four divided display areas. You must be conscious. Even if the divided display area is increased to 5 or more, the user has to be aware of the object allocation area and the operation becomes complicated.
　また、特許文献１の図２に開示された例では、ユーザがタッチパネルを通じて、第０オブジェクトの左上方向に配置されている第１オブジェクトを選択したい場合でも、操作が煩雑になる。まず、ユーザがタッチパネルを通じて左方向の分割表示領域を指定することにより、第４オブジェクトが遷移先のオブジェクトとなり、カーソルが第０オブジェクトから第４オブジェクトに移動する。このとき、現在選択されているオブジェクトが第４オブジェクトとなるため、第４オブジェクトの位置を基準点として画像データの表示領域が上下左右方向に４分割される。次に、ユーザがタッチパネルを通じて上方向の分割表示領域を指定することにより、第１オブジェクトが遷移先のオブジェクトとなり、カーソルが第４オブジェクトから第１オブジェクトに移動する。このように、ユーザは、タッチパネルを通じて、第０オブジェクトの左上方向に配置されている第１オブジェクトを選択したい場合、２段階で分割表示領域を指定しなければならないため、更に操作が煩雑である。 Further, in the example disclosed in FIG. 2 of Patent Document 1, even when the user wants to select the first object arranged in the upper left direction of the 0th object through the touch panel, the operation becomes complicated. First, when the user designates the left divided display area through the touch panel, the fourth object becomes the transition destination object, and the cursor moves from the 0th object to the 4th object. At this time, since the currently selected object is the fourth object, the display area of the image data is divided into four in the vertical and horizontal directions with the position of the fourth object as a reference point. Next, when the user designates an upward divided display area through the touch panel, the first object becomes the transition destination object, and the cursor moves from the fourth object to the first object. As described above, when the user wants to select the first object arranged in the upper left direction of the 0th object through the touch panel, the user has to specify the divided display area in two stages, and thus the operation is further complicated.
　本発明は、上記の点に鑑みてなされたものであり、ユーザが、従来のようなオブジェクトの割り当て領域を意識することなく、簡単な操作でオブジェクトを選択することができる入力操作装置、及び、デジタル放送受信機を提供することを目的とする。 The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an input operation device that allows a user to select an object with a simple operation without being aware of a conventional object allocation area, and An object is to provide a digital broadcast receiver.

　以下、図面を参照しながら本発明の実施形態について説明する。 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
　図１は、本発明の第１実施形態に係る入力操作装置の構成を示す概略ブロック図である。その入力操作装置は、処理部２０と、制御部３０と、表示装置５１と、タッチパネル５２と、記憶部（図示しない）と、これらを制御するＣＰＵ（Central Processing Unit）（図示しない）とを具備している。記憶部には、コンピュータが実行可能なコンピュータプログラムが格納されていて、ＣＰＵは、そのコンピュータプログラムを読み出して実行する。制御部３０は、タッチパネル制御部３１と、擬似ボタン制御部３２とを備えている。疑似ボタン制御部３２は、操作変換テーブル３３を備えている。 FIG. 1 is a schematic block diagram showing the configuration of the input operation device according to the first embodiment of the present invention. The input operation device includes a processing unit 20, a control unit 30, a display device 51, a touch panel 52, a storage unit (not shown), and a CPU (Central Processing Unit) (not shown) for controlling them. is doing. The storage unit stores a computer program executable by the computer, and the CPU reads and executes the computer program. The control unit 30 includes a touch panel control unit 31 and a pseudo button control unit 32. The pseudo button control unit 32 includes an operation conversion table 33.
　表示装置５１としては、ＬＣＤ（Ｌｉｑｕｉｄ　Ｃｒｙｓｔａｌ　Ｄｉｓｐｌａｙ）が例示される。処理部２０は、画像データを表示装置５１に表示する。画像データは、操作の対象となる複数のオブジェクトを含む。複数のオブジェクトは、画像データの表示領域に配置されている。処理部２０は、画像データを表示装置５１に表示すると共に、複数のオブジェクトのうちの、現在選択されているオブジェクトの位置をカーソルにて表示する。 An example of the display device 51 is an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display). The processing unit 20 displays the image data on the display device 51. The image data includes a plurality of objects to be operated. The plurality of objects are arranged in the image data display area. The processing unit 20 displays the image data on the display device 51 and displays the position of the currently selected object with a cursor among the plurality of objects.
　タッチパネル制御部３１は、タッチダウン操作「ｄｏｗｎ」、ドラッグ操作「ｍｏｖｅ」、及び、タッチアップ操作「ｕｐ」のいずれかが行なわれたときの操作種別を検出する。検出方法としては、静電容量方式を利用したものが例示される。タッチダウン操作「ｄｏｗｎ」は、指示媒体がタッチパネル５２面に接触又は所定距離以下に近接した操作を表している。ドラッグ操作「ｍｏｖｅ」は、指示媒体がタッチパネル５２面に接触又は所定距離以下に近接した状態を保持しながら移動する操作を表している。ドラッグの検出は、所定の時間間隔で、タッチパネル５２面への接触又は近接状態を検出することにより行う。従って、タッチダウン操作「ｄｏｗｎ」からタッチアップ操作「ｕｐ」に至るまでの間に、複数回のドラッグ操作「ｍｏｖｅ」を検出し得る。検出の時間間隔は、一続きのドラッグにおいて連続した検出が行える十分に短い時間間隔で行うことが望ましい。タッチアップ操作「ｕｐ」は、指示媒体がタッチパネル５２面に接触又は所定距離以下に近接している状態から、接触又は近接しない状態へ移行する操作を表している。 The touch panel control unit 31 detects an operation type when any of the touchdown operation “down”, the drag operation “move”, and the touchup operation “up” is performed. As a detection method, a method using a capacitance method is exemplified. The touchdown operation “down” represents an operation in which the pointing medium touches the touch panel 52 surface or comes close to a predetermined distance or less. The drag operation “move” represents an operation of moving while the pointing medium is in contact with the surface of the touch panel 52 or is kept close to a predetermined distance or less. The drag is detected by detecting a contact or proximity state to the touch panel 52 surface at predetermined time intervals. Accordingly, a plurality of drag operations “move” can be detected from the touchdown operation “down” to the touchup operation “up”. The detection time interval is desirably a sufficiently short time interval that allows continuous detection in a series of drags. The touch-up operation “up” represents an operation of shifting from a state in which the pointing medium is in contact with the touch panel 52 or close to a predetermined distance or less to a state in which the pointing medium is not in contact with or close to the touch panel 52.
　タッチパネル５２への指示媒体は、指に限らず、ユーザの手に把持された導電性のスタイラスを用いてもよい。指示媒体は、タッチパネル５２の構造及び検知方式に応じて、タッチパネル５２への近接及び接触が検出可能なものであれば特に限定されない。 The instruction medium for the touch panel 52 is not limited to a finger, and a conductive stylus held by the user's hand may be used. The instruction medium is not particularly limited as long as it can detect the proximity and contact to the touch panel 52 according to the structure of the touch panel 52 and the detection method.
　タッチパネル制御部３１は、タッチダウン操作「ｄｏｗｎ」、ドラッグ操作「ｍｏｖｅ」、及び、タッチアップ操作「ｕｐ」のいずれかが行なわれたときの操作種別と、そのときのタッチパネル５２上の位置（座標）とを含むタッチ操作情報６１を出力する。 The touch panel control unit 31 performs the operation type when any of the touchdown operation “down”, the drag operation “move”, and the touchup operation “up” is performed, and the position (coordinates) on the touch panel 52 at that time. ) Is output.
　疑似ボタン制御部３２は、タッチパネル制御部３１から順次に出力されたタッチ操作情報６１を受け取る。疑似ボタン制御部３２は、上記順次に出力されたタッチ操作情報６１の操作種別がタッチダウン操作「ｄｏｗｎ」、ドラッグ操作「ｍｏｖｅ」を表している場合、上記順次に出力されたタッチ操作情報６１の位置に基づいてカーソルの移動方向を表すボタン操作情報６２を出力する。 The pseudo button control unit 32 receives the touch operation information 61 sequentially output from the touch panel control unit 31. When the operation type of the touch operation information 61 that is sequentially output represents the touch-down operation “down” and the drag operation “move”, the pseudo button control unit 32 stores the touch operation information 61 that is sequentially output. Based on the position, button operation information 62 representing the movement direction of the cursor is output.
　処理部２０は、タッチパネル制御部３１から順次に出力されたタッチ操作情報６１と、疑似ボタン制御部３２から出力されたボタン操作情報６２とを受け取る。処理部２０は、上記順次に出力されたタッチ操作情報６１の操作種別が更にドラッグ操作「ｍｏｖｅ」の後のタッチアップ操作「ｕｐ」を表している場合、タッチダウン操作「ｄｏｗｎ」が行なわれた位置を現在選択されているオブジェクトの位置とし、現在選択されているオブジェクト以外のオブジェクトのうちの、カーソルの移動方向に配置され、かつ、タッチアップ操作「ｕｐ」が行なわれた位置に存在するオブジェクトを遷移先のオブジェクトとして選択して、遷移先のオブジェクトの位置をカーソルにて表示する。 The processing unit 20 receives the touch operation information 61 sequentially output from the touch panel control unit 31 and the button operation information 62 output from the pseudo button control unit 32. When the operation type of the touch operation information 61 sequentially output represents the touch-up operation “up” after the drag operation “move”, the processing unit 20 performs the touch-down operation “down”. The position of the currently selected object is the position of the object other than the currently selected object, which is located in the cursor movement direction and exists at the position where the touch-up operation “up” has been performed. Is selected as the transition destination object, and the position of the transition destination object is displayed with the cursor.
　図２は、表示装置５１の表示領域を示す図である。例えば、表示装置５１に表示された画像データ上の複数のオブジェクトは、左から右方向に向かって上から順にオブジェクトＯＢＪ１０１～ＯＢＪ１０３、ＯＢＪ１０４～ＯＢＪ１０６、ＯＢＪ１０７～ＯＢＪ１０９が配置され、現在選択されているオブジェクトをオブジェクトＯＢＪ１０５とする。オブジェクトＯＢＪ１０５は、カーソル表示により、オブジェクトＯＢＪ１０５以外のオブジェクトＯＢＪ１０１～ＯＢＪ１０４、ＯＢＪ１０６～ＯＢＪ１０９との差異が判別できるように表示されている。 FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a display area of the display device 51. For example, a plurality of objects on the image data displayed on the display device 51 are arranged with objects OBJ101 to OBJ103, OBJ104 to OBJ106, and OBJ107 to OBJ109 in order from the left to the right, and the currently selected object. Is an object OBJ105. The object OBJ 105 is displayed so that the difference between the objects OBJ 101 to OBJ 104 and OBJ 106 to OBJ 109 other than the object OBJ 105 can be discriminated by cursor display.
　図３は、ドラッグ操作「ｍｏｖｅ」におけるドラッグ移動量に対するベクトル種別を示す図である。ボタン操作情報６２へ変換するドラッグ操作「ｍｏｖｅ」の起点Ｐ１０１を示す座標Ｄ１０５を原点としたときに、Ｄ１０１は略左斜め上方向、Ｄ１０２は略上方向、Ｄ１０３は略右斜め上方向、Ｄ１０４は略左方向、Ｄ１０６は略右方向、Ｄ１０７は略左斜め下方向、Ｄ１０８は略下方向、Ｄ１０９は略右斜め下方向を表す。 FIG. 3 is a diagram showing vector types with respect to the drag movement amount in the drag operation “move”. When the coordinate D105 indicating the starting point P101 of the drag operation “move” to be converted into the button operation information 62 is used as the origin, D101 is a substantially left upward direction, D102 is a substantially upward direction, D103 is a substantially right upward direction, and D104 is In the left direction, D106 is in the right direction, D107 is in the left obliquely downward direction, D108 is in the substantially downward direction, and D109 is in the substantially right obliquely downward direction.
　図４は、現在のカーソルの位置と、ボタン操作情報６２（カーソルの移動方向）に対する遷移先のカーソルの位置との関係を示す図である。図５は、疑似ボタン制御部３２の操作変換テーブル３３を示す図である。操作変換テーブル３３には、ドラッグ移動ベクトル及びドラッグ移動距離の条件と、その条件を満たした場合のボタン操作情報６２（カーソルの移動方向）とが設定されている。 FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the relationship between the current cursor position and the position of the destination cursor for the button operation information 62 (cursor movement direction). FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating the operation conversion table 33 of the pseudo button control unit 32. In the operation conversion table 33, conditions for the drag movement vector and the drag movement distance, and button operation information 62 (cursor movement direction) when the conditions are satisfied are set.
　疑似ボタン制御部３２は、ドラッグ操作「ｍｏｖｅ」のある検出点から次の検出点までのドラッグ移動量であるドラッグ移動ベクトル（ｘ、ｙ）、及び、その移動距離であるドラッグ移動距離ｄを算出し、そのドラッグ移動ベクトル（ｘ、ｙ）に基づいてドラッグ移動距離ｄを算出する。疑似ボタン制御部３２は、ドラッグ移動ベクトル（ｘ、ｙ）及びドラッグ移動距離ｄに基づいてカーソルの移動方向を決定し、その移動方向を表すボタン操作情報６２を出力する。 The pseudo button control unit 32 calculates a drag movement vector (x, y) that is a drag movement amount from a detection point having the drag operation “move” to the next detection point, and a drag movement distance d that is the movement distance. The drag movement distance d is calculated based on the drag movement vector (x, y). The pseudo button control unit 32 determines the movement direction of the cursor based on the drag movement vector (x, y) and the drag movement distance d, and outputs button operation information 62 representing the movement direction.
　今、擬似ボタン制御部３２は、ドラッグ操作「ｍｏｖｅ」のある検出点を原点Ｐ１０１とし、その座標を（ｘｐ、ｙｐ）に設定しているものとする。ここで、ユーザによりドラッグ操作「ｍｏｖｅ」が行なわれ、次の検出点の位置を表す座標を（ｘｔ、ｙｔ）とする。この場合、ドラッグ移動ベクトル（ｘ、ｙ）は、（ｘ、ｙ）＝（ｘｔ－ｘｐ、ｙｔ－ｙｐ）により表され、ドラッグ移動距離ｄは、ｄ＝（ｘ＾２＋ｙ＾２）＾（１／２）により表される。（ｘ、ｙ）はドラッグ検出の時間間隔を単位時間とした、ドラッグの速度であるともいえる。ここで、式中の＾は、べき乗の演算子を表している。 Now, it is assumed that the pseudo button control unit 32 sets the detection point with the drag operation “move” as the origin P101 and the coordinates thereof as (xp, yp). Here, a drag operation “move” is performed by the user, and coordinates representing the position of the next detection point are (xt, yt). In this case, the drag movement vector (x, y) is represented by (x, y) = (xt−xp, yt−yp), and the drag movement distance d is d = (x ^ 2 + y ^ 2) ^ (1 / 2). It can be said that (x, y) is a drag speed with the time interval of drag detection as a unit time. Here, ^ in the expression represents a power operator.
　ドラッグ移動距離の条件は、原点Ｐ１０１の座標（ｘｐ、ｙｐ）から座標（ｘｔ、ｙｔ）にドラッグ操作「ｍｏｖｅ」が行なわれたときに、ドラッグ移動距離ｄがドラッグ移動距離の閾値ｄｔを超えていることである。閾値ｄｔを所定値以上に設定することにより、タッチパネル５２の操作中のタッチ位置のぶれ等に伴う微小移動量のドラッグ移動を検出する等、ユーザの意図しないカーソル移動の発生を防止することができる。 The condition of the drag movement distance is that when the drag operation “move” is performed from the coordinates (xp, yp) of the origin P101 to the coordinates (xt, yt), the drag movement distance d exceeds the threshold value dt of the drag movement distance. It is that you are. By setting the threshold value dt to be equal to or greater than a predetermined value, it is possible to prevent occurrence of cursor movement that is not intended by the user, such as detecting a minute movement amount of drag movement due to fluctuation of the touch position during operation of the touch panel 52 or the like. .
　ドラッグ移動ベクトルの条件は、左右方向条件、上下方向条件、斜め方向条件を含んでいる。原点Ｐ１０１の座標（ｘｐ、ｙｐ）を（０、０）としたときに、左右方向条件は、左右方向であるｘ成分が０より大きいか小さいかを表し、上下方向条件は、左右方向であるｙ成分が０より大きいか小さいかを表す。斜め方向条件は、斜め方向を判定するための、ｘとｙの比率に対する境界条件ｒ１、ｒ２を含み、例えば、ｒ１＝ｔａｎ（π／６）、ｒ２＝ｔａｎ（２π／６）により表される。一例として、カーソルが略左斜め上のオブジェクトに移動する条件については、左右方向条件、上下方向条件は、それぞれ、ｘ成分、ｙ成分が０より小さいことであり、斜め方向条件は、ｙ成分の絶対値が、境界条件ｒ１とｘ成分とを乗算した値の絶対値よりも大きく、境界条件ｒ２とｘ成分とを乗算した値の絶対値よりも小さいことである。この場合、カーソルの移動方向「ｕｐ、ｌｅｆｔ」を表すボタン操作情報６２が出力されることになる。 The drag movement vector condition includes a left-right direction condition, an up-down direction condition, and an oblique direction condition. When the coordinate (xp, yp) of the origin P101 is (0, 0), the left-right direction condition indicates whether the x component in the left-right direction is larger or smaller than 0, and the up-down direction condition is the left-right direction. Indicates whether the y component is greater than or less than zero. The oblique direction condition includes boundary conditions r1 and r2 with respect to the ratio of x and y for determining the oblique direction, and is represented by, for example, r1 = tan (π / 6) and r2 = tan (2π / 6). . As an example, regarding the condition for the cursor to move to an object substantially diagonally to the left, the left-right direction condition and the up-down direction condition are that the x component and the y component are smaller than 0, respectively, and the oblique direction condition is the y component The absolute value is larger than the absolute value of the value obtained by multiplying the boundary condition r1 and the x component, and smaller than the absolute value of the value obtained by multiplying the boundary condition r2 and the x component. In this case, button operation information 62 indicating the cursor movement direction “up, left” is output.
　なお、斜め方向へのカーソルの移動をしないように限定することも可能である。ドラッグ移動ベクトルの条件において、例えば、ｒ１＝ｒ２＝ｔａｎ（π／４）のように、ｒ１とｒ２を同値にした場合は、上下左右いずれか限定のボタン操作情報６２が出力されることになる。 It should be noted that the cursor can be limited not to move in an oblique direction. In the drag movement vector condition, for example, when r1 and r2 are set to the same value such as r1 = r2 = tan (π / 4), the limited button operation information 62 is output in either the upper, lower, left, or right directions. .
　擬似ボタン制御部３２は、（Ａ）その操作種別がタッチダウン操作「ｄｏｗｎ」を表すタッチ操作情報６１や、（Ｂ）その操作種別がドラッグ操作「ｍｏｖｅ」を表すタッチ操作情報６１を受け取る度に、そのタッチ操作情報６１の位置を原点Ｐ１０１の設定を更新する。上記（Ｂ）により、タッチダウン操作「ｄｏｗｎ」からタッチアップ操作「ｕｐ」に至るまでの一続きのドラッグ操作「ｍｏｖｅ」の中で、条件に一致した都度、ボタン操作情報６２が出力されるので、タッチダウン操作「ｄｏｗｎ」から次のタッチアップ操作「ｕｐ」までの一続きのドラッグ操作「ｍｏｖｅ」の中で、連続したカーソル移動を行うことができる。 Each time the pseudo button control unit 32 receives (A) touch operation information 61 whose operation type indicates a touchdown operation “down” or (B) touch operation information 61 whose operation type indicates a drag operation “move”. Then, the setting of the origin P101 is updated with the position of the touch operation information 61. By the above (B), the button operation information 62 is output every time the condition is met in the continuous drag operation “move” from the touchdown operation “down” to the touchup operation “up”. In the continuous drag operation “move” from the touchdown operation “down” to the next touchup operation “up”, continuous cursor movement can be performed.
　連続したカーソル移動の操作について、図６～８を用いて具体的に説明する。 The operation of continuous cursor movement will be specifically described with reference to FIGS.
　例えば、図６に示されるように、表示装置５１に表示された画像データ上の複数のオブジェクトは、左から右方向に向かってオブジェクトＯＢＪ１１１～ＯＢＪ１１３が配置され、現在選択されているオブジェクトをオブジェクトＯＢＪ１１１とする。オブジェクトＯＢＪ１１１は、カーソル表示により、オブジェクトＯＢＪ１１１以外のオブジェクトＯＢＪ１１２、ＯＢＪ１１３との差異が判別できるように表示されている。 For example, as shown in FIG. 6, objects OBJ111 to OBJ113 are arranged from the left to the right in the plurality of objects on the image data displayed on the display device 51, and the currently selected object is the object OBJ111. And The object OBJ111 is displayed so that the difference from the objects OBJ112 and OBJ113 other than the object OBJ111 can be determined by cursor display.
　図７に示されるように、ユーザは、Ｐ１１１の位置でタッチダウン操作「ｄｏｗｎ」を行なう。このとき、タッチパネル制御部３１は、タッチダウン操作「ｄｏｗｎ」を検出し、その操作種別とタッチパネル５２上のＰ１１１（座標）とを含むタッチ操作情報６１を出力する。次に、ユーザは、Ｐ１１１～Ｐ１１５の曲線で示される経路で、ドラッグ操作「ｍｏｖｅ」を行なう。このとき、タッチパネル制御部３１は、所定の時間間隔でドラッグ操作「ｍｏｖｅ」を検出し、それぞれ、その操作種別とタッチパネル５２上のＰ１１１～Ｐ１１５（座標）とを含むタッチ操作情報６１を出力する。最後に、ユーザは、Ｐ１１５において、タッチアップ操作「ｕｐ」を行なう。このとき、タッチパネル制御部３１は、タッチアップ操作「ｕｐ」を検出し、その操作種別とタッチパネル５２上のＰ１１５（座標）とを含むタッチ操作情報６１を出力する。 As shown in FIG. 7, the user performs the touchdown operation “down” at the position of P111. At this time, the touch panel control unit 31 detects the touchdown operation “down” and outputs touch operation information 61 including the operation type and P111 (coordinates) on the touch panel 52. Next, the user performs a drag operation “move” along the path indicated by the curves P111 to P115. At this time, the touch panel control unit 31 detects the drag operation “move” at predetermined time intervals, and outputs touch operation information 61 including the operation type and P111 to P115 (coordinates) on the touch panel 52, respectively. Finally, the user performs the touch-up operation “up” in P115. At this time, the touch panel control unit 31 detects the touch-up operation “up” and outputs touch operation information 61 including the operation type and P115 (coordinates) on the touch panel 52.
　擬似ボタン制御部３２は、最初に、その操作種別がタッチダウン操作「ｄｏｗｎ」であり、かつ、その位置がＰ１１１であるタッチ操作情報６１を受け取る。次に、擬似ボタン制御部３２は、その操作種別がドラッグ操作「ｍｏｖｅ」であり、かつ、その位置がＰ１１２、Ｐ１１３、Ｐ１１４、Ｐ１１５であるタッチ操作情報６１を受け取る。この場合、擬似ボタン制御部３２は、Ｐ１１１～Ｐ１１２、Ｐ１１２～Ｐ１１３、Ｐ１１３～Ｐ１１４、Ｐ１１４～Ｐ１１５それぞれのドラッグ移動ベクトル（ｘ、ｙ）及びドラッグ移動距離ｄを算出する。疑似ボタン制御部３２は、操作変換テーブル３３を参照して、ドラッグ移動ベクトル（ｘ、ｙ）及びドラッグ移動距離ｄの条件を満たすカーソルの移動方向を決定し、その移動方向を表すボタン操作情報６２を出力する。 The pseudo button control unit 32 first receives the touch operation information 61 whose operation type is the touchdown operation “down” and whose position is P111. Next, the pseudo button control unit 32 receives touch operation information 61 whose operation type is the drag operation “move” and whose positions are P112, P113, P114, and P115. In this case, the pseudo button control unit 32 calculates the drag movement vector (x, y) and the drag movement distance d of P111 to P112, P112 to P113, P113 to P114, and P114 to P115, respectively. The pseudo button control unit 32 refers to the operation conversion table 33, determines the movement direction of the cursor that satisfies the conditions of the drag movement vector (x, y) and the drag movement distance d, and button operation information 62 representing the movement direction. Is output.
　例えば、擬似ボタン制御部３２は、Ｐ１１１～Ｐ１１２、Ｐ１１３～Ｐ１１４のドラッグ移動ベクトル（ｘ、ｙ）及びドラッグ移動距離ｄの条件を満たしている場合、それぞれ、カーソルの移動方向を「ｒｉｇｈｔ」に決定する。擬似ボタン制御部３２は、Ｐ１１２～Ｐ１１３については、ドラッグ移動距離ｄの条件を満たしていないため、カーソルの移動方向を決定しない。その結果、カーソルは、Ｐ１１２の時点でオブジェクトＯＢＪ１１２に移動し、Ｐ１１３の時点では移動せず、Ｐ１１４の時点でオブジェクトＯＢＪ１１３に移動し、Ｐ１１５の時点では移動しない、という動作となる。 For example, the pseudo button control unit 32 determines the movement direction of the cursor as “right” when the conditions of the drag movement vector (x, y) and the drag movement distance d of P111 to P112 and P113 to P114 are satisfied. To do. The pseudo button control unit 32 does not determine the movement direction of the cursor because P112 to P113 do not satisfy the condition of the drag movement distance d. As a result, the cursor moves to the object OBJ 112 at the time point P112, does not move at the time point P113, moves to the object OBJ 113 at the time point P114, and does not move at the time point P115.
　このように、本発明では、一続きのドラッグ操作「ｍｏｖｅ」で、連続的なカーソル移動を行うことができる。また、ドラッグの途中で一旦、指示媒体を静止し、ドラッグを再開した場合でも、継続してカーソル移動を行うことができる。 Thus, in the present invention, continuous cursor movement can be performed by a continuous drag operation “move”. Further, even when the pointing medium is temporarily stopped in the middle of the drag and the drag is resumed, the cursor can be continuously moved.
　なお、ドラッグの速度に応じて、処理部２０へのボタン操作情報６２の入力回数を増やしてもよい。例えば、本実施形態においては、所定の時間間隔でドラッグが検出されるため、ドラッグ移動距離ｄについても単位時間当たりのドラッグの移動距離、すなわちドラッグの速度となる。そこで、擬似ボタン制御部３２は、操作変換テーブル３３に基づいてボタン操作情報６２を出力する際に、ｄ／ｄｔの整数部分の回数だけ、ボタン操作情報６２を処理部２０に出力するようにしてもよい。このようにすることで、ドラッグ速度に応じた回数のカーソル移動ができるので、より短時間のドラッグで、目的のオブジェクトへカーソルを移動することが可能となる。 Note that the number of times the button operation information 62 is input to the processing unit 20 may be increased according to the drag speed. For example, in this embodiment, since the drag is detected at a predetermined time interval, the drag movement distance d is also the drag movement distance per unit time, that is, the drag speed. Therefore, when the pseudo button control unit 32 outputs the button operation information 62 based on the operation conversion table 33, the pseudo button control unit 32 outputs the button operation information 62 to the processing unit 20 by the number of times of the integer part of d / dt. Also good. In this way, the cursor can be moved a number of times in accordance with the drag speed, so that the cursor can be moved to the target object with a shorter drag.
　図９は、疑似ボタン制御部３２の動作を示すフローチャートである。疑似ボタン制御部３２は、タッチパネル制御部３１からタッチ操作情報６１を受け取ったときに、その操作種別がタッチダウン操作「ｄｏｗｎ」である場合（ステップＳ１１－Ｙｅｓ）、タッチ操作情報６１の位置を起点に設定する（ステップＳ１２）。次に、疑似ボタン制御部３２は、タッチパネル制御部３１からタッチ操作情報６１を受け取ったときに、その操作種別がドラッグ操作「ｍｏｖｅ」である場合（ステップＳ１１－Ｎｏ、Ｓ１３－Ｙｅｓ）、起点の位置からタッチ操作情報６１の位置までのドラッグ移動ベクトル（ｘ、ｙ）及びドラッグ移動距離ｄを算出し、操作変換テーブル３３を参照して、ドラッグ移動ベクトル（ｘ、ｙ）及びドラッグ移動距離ｄの条件を満たすものを探す（ステップＳ１４）。対応する条件がある場合（ステップＳ１５－Ｙｅｓ）、その条件に対応するカーソルの移動方向を表すボタン操作情報６２を処理部２０に出力し（ステップＳ１６）、タッチ操作情報６１の位置を起点に設定する（ステップＳ１７）。対応する条件がない場合（ステップＳ１５－Ｙｅｓ）、ボタン操作情報６２は出力されない。なお、タッチ操作情報６１の操作種別がタッチダウン操作「ｄｏｗｎ」でもドラッグ操作「ｍｏｖｅ」でもない場合（ステップＳ１１－Ｎｏ、Ｓ１３－Ｎｏ）、その操作種別はタッチアップ操作「ｕｐ」である。 FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing the operation of the pseudo button control unit 32. When the pseudo button control unit 32 receives the touch operation information 61 from the touch panel control unit 31 and the operation type is the touchdown operation “down” (step S11—Yes), the pseudo button control unit 32 starts the position of the touch operation information 61. (Step S12). Next, when the pseudo button control unit 32 receives the touch operation information 61 from the touch panel control unit 31 and the operation type is the drag operation “move” (step S11-No, S13-Yes), The drag movement vector (x, y) and the drag movement distance d from the position to the position of the touch operation information 61 are calculated, and the drag movement vector (x, y) and the drag movement distance d are calculated with reference to the operation conversion table 33. Search for a condition that satisfies the condition (step S14). If there is a corresponding condition (step S15-Yes), button operation information 62 indicating the movement direction of the cursor corresponding to the condition is output to the processing unit 20 (step S16), and the position of the touch operation information 61 is set as the starting point. (Step S17). If there is no corresponding condition (step S15-Yes), the button operation information 62 is not output. When the operation type of the touch operation information 61 is neither the touchdown operation “down” nor the drag operation “move” (steps S11-No, S13-No), the operation type is a touch-up operation “up”.
　以上の説明により、本発明の第１実施形態に係る入力操作装置では、タッチパネル制御部３１は、ドラッグ操作「ｍｏｖｅ」が開始されてから終了するまでのタッチパネル５２上の位置を表すタッチ操作情報６１を出力する。擬似ボタン制御部３２は、タッチ操作情報６１が表す開始及び終了の位置に基づいてカーソルの移動方向を表すボタン操作情報６２を出力する。処理部２０は、ボタン操作情報６２に基づいて複数のオブジェクトの中から遷移先のオブジェクトを選択して、遷移先のオブジェクトの位置をカーソルにて表示する。このため、本発明の第１実施形態に係る入力操作装置によれば、ユーザが、従来のようなオブジェクトの割り当て領域を意識することなく、簡単な操作でオブジェクトを選択することができる。 As described above, in the input operation device according to the first embodiment of the present invention, the touch panel control unit 31 includes the touch operation information 61 representing the position on the touch panel 52 from the start to the end of the drag operation “move”. Is output. The pseudo button control unit 32 outputs button operation information 62 representing the movement direction of the cursor based on the start and end positions represented by the touch operation information 61. The processing unit 20 selects a transition destination object from among a plurality of objects based on the button operation information 62, and displays the position of the transition destination object with a cursor. For this reason, according to the input operation device according to the first embodiment of the present invention, the user can select an object with a simple operation without being aware of the conventional object allocation area.
　また、本発明の第１実施形態に係る入力操作装置によれば、擬似ボタン制御部３２は、タッチダウン操作「ｄｏｗｎ」からタッチアップ操作「ｕｐ」に至るまでの一続きのドラッグ操作「ｍｏｖｅ」の中で、条件に一致した都度、ボタン操作情報６２を処理部２０に出力するので、一続きのドラッグ操作「ｍｏｖｅ」の中で、連続したカーソル移動を行うことができる。 Further, according to the input operation device according to the first embodiment of the present invention, the pseudo button control unit 32 performs the continuous drag operation “move” from the touchdown operation “down” to the touchup operation “up”. In this case, the button operation information 62 is output to the processing unit 20 every time the condition is met, so that a continuous cursor movement can be performed in a series of drag operations “move”.
　また、本発明の第１実施形態に係る入力操作装置によれば、画面上のオブジェクトの配置位置と、タッチ位置との間に制約条件がないため、オブジェクトの配置位置に依らないタッチ操作にてオブジェクトの選択を行うことができる。特に、表示装置５１の画面の座標系と、タッチパネル５２の座標系における原点、座標軸の方向、単位長さがほぼ同じであり、それぞれのオブジェクトの表示範囲と、オブジェクトのタッチ検知範囲がほぼ同じである場合であって、オブジェクトの配置が密集している場合においては、オブジェクトの配置位置に依存した選択方法と比較して、オブジェクトの選択が容易に行える。 Further, according to the input operation device according to the first embodiment of the present invention, since there is no restriction condition between the object arrangement position on the screen and the touch position, the touch operation does not depend on the object arrangement position. Object selection can be performed. In particular, the origin, coordinate axis direction, and unit length in the screen coordinate system of the display device 51 and the coordinate system of the touch panel 52 are substantially the same, and the display range of each object and the touch detection range of the object are substantially the same. In some cases, when the arrangement of the objects is dense, the selection of the objects can be easily performed as compared with the selection method depending on the arrangement position of the objects.
　更に、本発明の第１実施形態に係る入力操作装置によれば、ドラッグ速度に応じた回数のカーソル移動が可能であるため、より短時間のドラッグで、目的のオブジェクトへカーソルを移動することが可能となる。 Furthermore, according to the input operation device according to the first embodiment of the present invention, since the cursor can be moved a number of times according to the drag speed, the cursor can be moved to the target object with a shorter drag. It becomes possible.
　また、ホバー操作（前述の指示媒体をタッチパネル５２面に接触しない、所定距離以下の近接状態での操作）によって、実施する場合においては、例えば、ホバー操作においては、本発明にかかる、オブジェクトの位置に依らないオブジェクトの選択を行ない、タッチ操作においては、オブジェクトの位置に依るオブジェクトの選択を行うことにより、別の操作方法との併用が可能である。 Further, in the case where the hover operation is performed by the hover operation (the operation in the proximity state of the predetermined distance or less without touching the above-described indication medium on the touch panel 52 surface), for example, in the hover operation, the position of the object according to the present invention By selecting an object that does not depend on the object and performing an object selection depending on the position of the object in the touch operation, a combination with another operation method is possible.
　［第２実施形態］
　本発明の第２実施形態に係る入力操作装置では、カーソル移動対象となる表示装置５１の表示領域の水平方向長さ、垂直方向長さと、ドラッグ移動量を示すドラッグ移動ベクトル（ｘ、ｙ）との比率に応じて、ドラッグ移動距離の閾値ｄｔを変更する。第２実施形態では第１実施形態からの変更点のみ説明する。 [Second Embodiment]
In the input operation device according to the second embodiment of the present invention, the horizontal length and the vertical length of the display area of the display device 51 that is the cursor movement target, and the drag movement vector (x, y) indicating the drag movement amount, and The threshold value dt of the drag movement distance is changed according to the ratio. In the second embodiment, only the changes from the first embodiment will be described.
　図１０は、疑似ボタン制御部３２の操作変換テーブル３３を示す図である。第２実施形態では、第１実施形態におけるドラッグ移動ベクトル（ｘ、ｙ）に替えて、後述のドラッグ移動ベクトル（ｘ２、ｙ２）が用いられる。また、ドラッグ移動距離ｄに替えて、後述のドラッグ移動距離ｄ２が用いられる。 FIG. 10 is a diagram showing the operation conversion table 33 of the pseudo button control unit 32. In the second embodiment, a drag movement vector (x2, y2) described later is used instead of the drag movement vector (x, y) in the first embodiment. Further, a drag movement distance d2 described later is used instead of the drag movement distance d.
　前述のように、ボタン操作情報へ変換するドラッグ操作の起点を原点とし、その座標は（ｘｐ、ｙｐ）に設定されている。ユーザによりドラッグ操作「ｍｏｖｅ」が行なわれた位置を表す座標を（ｘｔ、ｙｔ）とする。この場合、ドラッグ移動ベクトル（ｘ、ｙ）は、（ｘ、ｙ）＝（ｘｔ－ｘｐ、ｙｔ－ｙｐ）により表される。ここで、ｐｄｘを表示装置５１の画面水平方向の単位長さ当りの画素数とし、ｐｄｙを表示装置５１の画面垂直方向の単位長さ当りの画素数とした場合、ドラッグ移動ベクトル（ｘ１、ｙ１）は、（ｘ１、ｙ１）＝（ｘ／ｐｄｘ、ｙ／ｐｄｙ）により表され、ドラッグ移動距離ｄ１は、ｄ１＝（ｘ１＾２＋ｙ１＾２）＾（１／２）により表される。 As described above, the origin of the drag operation to be converted into the button operation information is set as the origin, and the coordinates are set to (xp, yp). The coordinates representing the position where the user has performed the drag operation “move” are (xt, yt). In this case, the drag movement vector (x, y) is represented by (x, y) = (xt−xp, yt−yp). Here, when pdx is the number of pixels per unit length in the horizontal direction of the screen of the display device 51 and pdy is the number of pixels per unit length of the display device 51 in the vertical direction of the screen, the drag movement vector (x1, y1 ) Is represented by (x1, y1) = (x / pdx, y / pdy), and the drag movement distance d1 is represented by d1 = (x1 ^ 2 + y1 ^ 2) ^ (1/2).
　更に、カーソル移動対象となる、表示装置５１上のオブジェクトの配置対象範囲の矩形の水平方向長さをＷとし、カーソル移動対象となる、表示装置５１上のオブジェクトの配置対象範囲の矩形の垂直方向長さをＨとした場合、ドラッグ移動ベクトル（ｘ２、ｙ２）は、（ｘ２、ｙ２）＝（ｘ１／Ｗ、ｙ１／Ｈ）により表され、ドラッグ移動距離ｄ２は、ｄ２＝（ｘ２＾２＋ｙ２＾２）＾（１／２）により表される。 Furthermore, the horizontal direction length of the rectangle of the object arrangement target range on the display device 51 to be the cursor movement target is W, and the vertical direction of the rectangle of the object arrangement target range on the display device 51 to be the cursor movement target is set. When the length is H, the drag movement vector (x2, y2) is represented by (x2, y2) = (x1 / W, y1 / H), and the drag movement distance d2 is d2 = (x2 ^ 2 + y2 ^). 2) It is represented by ^ (1/2).
　ここで、本発明の第２実施形態に係る入力操作装置では、表示装置５１の画面をユーザが回転させると、回転後にユーザから見た画面の水平方向、垂直方向を加速度センサによって判定し、ｐｄｘ、ｐｄｙ、Ｗ、Ｈの値を再設定し、それに基づいてタッチ操作情報６１をボタン操作情報６２に変換するようにしてもよい。このようにすることで、画面の回転にともなって、水平／垂直方向の画素密度、オブジェクトの配置範囲が変わった場合でも、オブジェクトの配置対象範囲の水平／垂直方向長さに適したカーソル移動が可能である。 Here, in the input operation device according to the second embodiment of the present invention, when the user rotates the screen of the display device 51, the horizontal direction and the vertical direction of the screen viewed from the user after the rotation are determined by the acceleration sensor, and pdx , Pdy, W, and H may be reset, and the touch operation information 61 may be converted into button operation information 62 based on the reset values. In this way, even when the pixel density in the horizontal / vertical direction and the object arrangement range change with the rotation of the screen, the cursor movement suitable for the horizontal / vertical direction length of the object arrangement target range can be performed. Is possible.
　また、本発明の第２実施形態に係る入力操作装置では、図１１に示されるように、タッチパネル５２が透過型であり、表示装置５１の画面の上に配置されており、タッチパネル５２の座標系と、画面の座標系との原点、座標軸の方向、単位長さがほぼ一致する場合は、カーソル移動の対象となるオブジェクト配置領域５３に対応する、タッチパネル５２の領域でタッチ操作を検出した場合のみ、タッチ操作情報６１をボタン操作情報６２に変換し、カーソル移動を行なうようにしてもよい。 Further, in the input operation device according to the second embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 11, the touch panel 52 is a transmissive type and is arranged on the screen of the display device 51, and the coordinate system of the touch panel 52. And the origin of the coordinate system of the screen, the direction of the coordinate axis, and the unit length are almost the same, only when a touch operation is detected in the area of the touch panel 52 corresponding to the object placement area 53 that is the target of the cursor movement. The touch operation information 61 may be converted into button operation information 62 and the cursor may be moved.
　以上の説明により、本発明の第２実施形態に係る入力操作装置では、表示領域の水平方向長さ、垂直方向長さに応じて、カーソル移動に必要なドラッグ移動量が変わるため、表示領域のより狭い方向については、より少ないドラッグ移動量でカーソル移動を行なうことができる。更に、タッチ操作情報６１からボタン操作情報６２への変換をオブジェクト配置領域５３内に限定することにより、オブジェクト配置領域５３内とそれ以外とで、それぞれに適した別の操作方法により操作することができる。 As described above, in the input operation device according to the second embodiment of the present invention, the amount of drag movement necessary for cursor movement changes according to the horizontal length and vertical length of the display area. In a narrower direction, the cursor can be moved with a smaller drag movement amount. Further, by limiting the conversion from the touch operation information 61 to the button operation information 62 within the object arrangement area 53, it is possible to operate the object arrangement area 53 and other areas by using different operation methods suitable for each. it can.
　［第３実施形態］
　本発明の第３実施形態に係る入力操作装置では、一続きのドラッグ操作で、カーソルの移動とオブジェクトの選択ができるようにする。タッチ状態で設定時間だけ静止した後にタッチアップ操作「ｕｐ」が行なわれた場合は、カーソルのあるオブジェクトを選択する。より詳細には、タッチダウン操作「ｄｏｗｎ」が行なわれてから設定時間を経過するまで操作が行なわれない場合は、選択準備状態に移行し、選択準備状態において、ドラッグ操作「ｍｏｖｅ」が行なわれた場合は、選択準備状態を解除する。更に、ドラッグ操作「ｍｏｖｅ」が行なわれてから設定時間を経過するまで操作が行なわれない場合は、選択準備状態に移行し、選択準備状態において、タッチアップ操作「ｕｐ」が行なわれた場合は、カーソルのあるオブジェクトを選択する。第３実施形態では第１、２実施形態からの変更点のみ説明する。 [Third Embodiment]
In the input operation device according to the third embodiment of the present invention, the cursor can be moved and the object can be selected by a continuous drag operation. When a touch-up operation “up” is performed after a set time has been stopped in the touch state, the object with the cursor is selected. More specifically, when the operation is not performed until the set time elapses after the touchdown operation “down” is performed, the state shifts to the selection preparation state, and the drag operation “move” is performed in the selection preparation state. If it is, the selection preparation state is canceled. Further, if the operation is not performed until the set time elapses after the drag operation “move” is performed, the process proceeds to the selection preparation state, and the touch-up operation “up” is performed in the selection preparation state. Select the object with the cursor. In the third embodiment, only the changes from the first and second embodiments will be described.
　図１２は、疑似ボタン制御部３２の動作を示すフローチャートである。図１３は、選択準備状態設定処理を示すフローチャートである。いま、タッチダウン操作「ｄｏｗｎ」が行なわれてから前述のステップＳ１２が行なわれた場合、疑似ボタン制御部３２は、タイマを設定する（ステップＳ２１）。タイムアウトまでの時間としては、カーソル移動のためのドラッグ操作「ｍｏｖｅ」と、オブジェクトの選択操作と、がユーザの感覚的に区別し易い時間とし、例えば１秒程度とする。ここで、タイムアウトになるまで操作が行なわれない場合（ステップＳ３１－Ｙｅｓ）、疑似ボタン制御部３２は、選択準備状態を設定する（ステップＳ３２）。選択準備状態において、ドラッグ操作「ｍｏｖｅ」が行なわれてから前述のステップＳ１５が行なわれた場合、疑似ボタン制御部３２は、タイマを停止する（ステップＳ２２）。次に、前述のステップＳ１６、Ｓ１７が行なわれた場合、疑似ボタン制御部３２は、選択準備状態を解除し（ステップＳ２３）、タイマを設定する（ステップＳ２４）。ここで、タイムアウトになるまで操作が行なわれない場合（ステップＳ３１－Ｙｅｓ）、疑似ボタン制御部３２は、選択準備状態を設定する（ステップＳ３２）。選択準備状態において、タッチアップ操作「ｕｐ」が行なわれた場合（ステップＳ１１－Ｎｏ、Ｓ１３－Ｎｏ、Ｓ２５－Ｙｅｓ、Ｓ２６－Ｙｅｓ）、疑似ボタン制御部３２は、カーソルのあるオブジェクトを選択するためのオブジェクト選択情報を処理部２０に出力する（ステップＳ２７）。この場合、処理部２０は、オブジェクト選択情報に応じて、遷移先のオブジェクト（カーソルのあるオブジェクト）を選択する。疑似ボタン制御部３２は、タイマを停止する（ステップＳ２８）。なお、選択準備状態ではない場合（ステップＳ２６－Ｎｏ）、ステップＳ２７は実行されずに、ステップＳ２８が実行される。 FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing the operation of the pseudo button control unit 32. FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing the selection preparation state setting process. If the above-described step S12 is performed after the touchdown operation “down” is performed, the pseudo button control unit 32 sets a timer (step S21). The time until the timeout is a time at which the drag operation “move” for moving the cursor and the object selection operation can be easily distinguished from the user's senses, for example, about 1 second. Here, when the operation is not performed until time-out (step S31—Yes), the pseudo button control unit 32 sets the selection preparation state (step S32). When the above-described step S15 is performed after the drag operation “move” is performed in the selection preparation state, the pseudo button control unit 32 stops the timer (step S22). Next, when the above-described steps S16 and S17 are performed, the pseudo button control unit 32 cancels the selection preparation state (step S23) and sets a timer (step S24). Here, when the operation is not performed until time-out (step S31—Yes), the pseudo button control unit 32 sets the selection preparation state (step S32). When the touch-up operation “up” is performed in the selection preparation state (steps S11-No, S13-No, S25-Yes, S26-Yes), the pseudo button control unit 32 selects the object with the cursor. The object selection information is output to the processing unit 20 (step S27). In this case, the processing unit 20 selects a transition destination object (an object with a cursor) according to the object selection information. The pseudo button control unit 32 stops the timer (step S28). If it is not in the selection preparation state (step S26-No), step S27 is not executed but step S28 is executed.
　以上の説明により、本発明の第３実施形態に係る入力操作装置では、一続きのドラッグ操作の過程において、カーソル移動操作と、オブジェクトの選択操作の両方を判別することができるので、一続きのドラッグ操作の過程で、カーソル移動と、オブジェクトの選択を行うことができる。オブジェクトの選択を行うにあたり、一旦、タッチアップして、タッチダウンする必要がないので、操作を効率的に行うことができる。 As described above, in the input operation device according to the third embodiment of the present invention, both the cursor movement operation and the object selection operation can be determined in the process of a continuous drag operation. During the drag operation, the cursor can be moved and the object can be selected. In selecting an object, it is not necessary to touch up and touch down once, so that the operation can be performed efficiently.
　［第４実施形態］
　本発明の第４実施形態に係る入力操作装置では、第１～３実施形態において、疑似ボタン制御部３２は、ドラッグ操作「ｍｏｖｅ」で検出位置に対応する画面上の位置が、オブジェクトのタッチ検知範囲に含まれていない場合は、ボタン操作情報６２を処理部２０に出力し、タッチアップ操作「ｕｐ」で検出位置に対応する画面上の位置が、オブジェクトのタッチ検知範囲に含まれる場合は、そのオブジェクトを選択するためのオブジェクト選択情報を処理部２０に出力する。第４実施形態では第１～３実施形態からの変更点のみ説明する。 [Fourth Embodiment]
In the input operation device according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention, in the first to third embodiments, the pseudo button control unit 32 detects that the position on the screen corresponding to the detection position in the drag operation “move” is an object touch detection. If it is not included in the range, the button operation information 62 is output to the processing unit 20, and the position on the screen corresponding to the detection position by the touch-up operation “up” is included in the touch detection range of the object. Object selection information for selecting the object is output to the processing unit 20. In the fourth embodiment, only the changes from the first to third embodiments will be described.
　図１４は、疑似ボタン制御部３２の動作を示すフローチャートである。タッチダウン操作「ｄｏｗｎ」が行なわれたときに（ステップＳ１１－Ｙｅｓ）、その位置がオブジェクトのタッチ検知範囲内にある場合（ステップＳ４１－Ｙｅｓ）、疑似ボタン制御部３２は、カーソルを無効にするためのカーソル無効化指示信号を処理部２０に出力する（ステップＳ４２）。この場合、処理部２０は、カーソル有効化指示信号に応じて、カーソルを表示しない。例えば、カーソルの当っているオブジェクトを、オブジェクトの外郭に沿った所定の色の線で示しているとすれば、その線を消去した画像を表示装置５１に表示する。一方、その位置がオブジェクトのタッチ検知範囲内にない場合（ステップＳ４１－Ｎｏ）、疑似ボタン制御部３２は、カーソルを有効にするためのカーソル有効化指示信号を処理部２０に出力する（ステップＳ４３）。この場合、処理部２０は、カーソル有効化指示信号に応じて、カーソルを表示する。例えば、カーソルの当っているオブジェクトの外郭に沿った所定の色の線で示した画像を、表示装置５１に表示する。その後、前述のステップＳ１２が行なわれる。ドラッグ操作「ｍｏｖｅ」が行なわれたときに（ステップＳ１１－Ｎｏ、Ｓ１３－Ｙｅｓ）、上述の位置がオブジェクトのタッチ検知範囲内にある場合（ステップＳ４４－Ｙｅｓ）、疑似ボタン制御部３２は、上述のカーソル無効化指示信号を処理部２０に出力する（ステップＳ４５）。一方、上述の位置がオブジェクトのタッチ検知範囲内にない場合（ステップＳ４４－Ｎｏ）、疑似ボタン制御部３２は、上述のカーソル有効化指示信号を処理部２０に出力する（ステップＳ４６）。その後、前述のステップＳ１４が行なわれる。タッチアップ操作「ｕｐ」が行なわれたときに（ステップＳ１１－Ｎｏ、Ｓ１３－Ｎｏ、Ｓ２５－Ｙｅｓ）、上述の位置がオブジェクトのタッチ検知範囲内にある場合（ステップＳ４７－Ｙｅｓ）、疑似ボタン制御部３２は、前述のオブジェクト選択情報を処理部２０に出力し（ステップＳ４８）、上述のカーソル無効化指示信号を処理部２０に出力する（ステップＳ４９）。一方、上述の位置がオブジェクトのタッチ検知範囲内にない場合（ステップＳ４７－Ｎｏ）、ステップＳ４８は実行されずにステップＳ４９が実行される。 FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing the operation of the pseudo button control unit 32. When the touchdown operation “down” is performed (step S11—Yes), if the position is within the touch detection range of the object (step S41—Yes), the pseudo button control unit 32 invalidates the cursor. A cursor invalidation instruction signal is output to the processing unit 20 (step S42). In this case, the processing unit 20 does not display the cursor in response to the cursor validation instruction signal. For example, if the object on which the cursor is placed is indicated by a line of a predetermined color along the outline of the object, an image from which the line has been deleted is displayed on the display device 51. On the other hand, when the position is not within the object touch detection range (step S41—No), the pseudo button control unit 32 outputs a cursor validation instruction signal for validating the cursor to the processing unit 20 (step S43). ). In this case, the processing unit 20 displays a cursor in response to the cursor validation instruction signal. For example, an image indicated by a line of a predetermined color along the outline of the object on which the cursor is placed is displayed on the display device 51. Thereafter, step S12 described above is performed. When the drag operation “move” is performed (steps S11-No, S13-Yes), when the above-described position is within the touch detection range of the object (step S44-Yes), the pseudo button control unit 32 The cursor invalidation instruction signal is output to the processing unit 20 (step S45). On the other hand, when the above-described position is not within the object touch detection range (step S44-No), the pseudo button control unit 32 outputs the above-described cursor validation instruction signal to the processing unit 20 (step S46). Thereafter, step S14 described above is performed. When the touch-up operation “up” is performed (steps S11-No, S13-No, S25-Yes), if the above-described position is within the touch detection range of the object (step S47-Yes), pseudo button control The unit 32 outputs the above-described object selection information to the processing unit 20 (step S48), and outputs the above-described cursor invalidation instruction signal to the processing unit 20 (step S49). On the other hand, when the above-described position is not within the object touch detection range (step S47-No), step S49 is executed without executing step S48.
　図１５は、疑似ボタン制御部３２の他の動作を示すフローチャートである。ここでは、図１４からの変更点のみ説明する。ドラッグ操作「ｍｏｖｅ」が行なわれたときに（ステップＳ１１－Ｎｏ、Ｓ１３－Ｙｅｓ）、既にカーソル有効化指示信号を処理部２０に出力していた場合（ステップＳ５１－Ｙｅｓ）、前述のステップＳ１４が行なわれる。タッチアップ操作「ｕｐ」が行なわれたときに（ステップＳ１１－Ｎｏ、Ｓ１３－Ｎｏ、Ｓ２５－Ｙｅｓ）、既にカーソル有効化指示信号を処理部２０に出力していた場合（ステップＳ５２－Ｙｅｓ）、上述のステップＳ４９が行なわれる。一方、カーソル有効化指示信号を処理部２０に出力していない場合（ステップＳ５２－Ｎｏ）、上述のステップＳ４７が実行される。 FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing another operation of the pseudo button control unit 32. Only the changes from FIG. 14 will be described here. When the drag operation “move” is performed (steps S11-No, S13-Yes), if the cursor validation instruction signal has already been output to the processing unit 20 (step S51-Yes), the above-described step S14 is performed. Done. When the touch-up operation “up” is performed (steps S11-No, S13-No, S25-Yes), if a cursor validation instruction signal has already been output to the processing unit 20 (step S52-Yes), Step S49 described above is performed. On the other hand, when the cursor validation instruction signal is not output to the processing unit 20 (step S52—No), the above-described step S47 is executed.
　以上の説明により、本発明の第４実施形態に係る入力操作装置では、タッチダウン操作「ｄｏｗｎ」からタッチアップ操作「ｕｐ」に至る一続きのドラッグ操作「ｍｏｖｅ」で、連続したカーソル移動ができるとともに、タッチ位置に応じたオブジェクトの選択が可能である。 As described above, in the input operation device according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention, the continuous cursor movement can be performed by the continuous drag operation “move” from the touchdown operation “down” to the touchup operation “up”. At the same time, an object can be selected according to the touch position.
　また、表示装置５１の画面の座標系と、タッチパネル５２の座標系における原点、座標軸の方向、単位長さがほぼ同じであり、それぞれのオブジェクトの表示範囲と、オブジェクトのタッチ検知範囲がほぼ同じである場合は、ユーザがオブジェクトの表示範囲をタッチすることで、オブジェクトの選択が可能であるが、この実装において、オブジェクト表示位置が密集しており、複数のオブジェクトの表示範囲に対して、タッチパネル５２上でユーザの指が接触する範囲が重なってしまうなど、タッチ位置によるオブジェクトの指定が困難である場合には、ドラッグ操作でカーソルを移動してタッチ位置によらないオブジェクトの指定ができ、オブジェクトの表示位置が離散しており、タッチ位置によるオブジェクトの指定が容易である場合は、タッチ位置によるオブジェクトの指定を行うといった、使い分けができる。 Further, the origin, the direction of the coordinate axes, and the unit length in the coordinate system of the screen of the display device 51 and the coordinate system of the touch panel 52 are substantially the same, and the display range of each object and the touch detection range of the object are substantially the same. In some cases, the user can select an object by touching the display range of the object. However, in this implementation, the object display positions are dense, and the touch panel 52 is displayed for a plurality of object display ranges. When it is difficult to specify an object by touch position, such as when the user's finger touches on top of each other, the cursor can be moved by dragging to specify an object independent of the touch position. When the display position is discrete and it is easy to specify an object by touch position Is, such as performing the specified object by the touch position, it is properly used.
