Abstract

Provided is a mobile terminal device with which operations with respect to a touch panel can be performed with one hand. A CPU obtains, from a pressure sensor, the pressure externally applied to one of the side surfaces of a smartphone (step S510). When the CPU determines that the magnitude of the obtained pressure is greater than a predetermined pressure (Yes in step S520), the display position of an object displayed on the touch panel is moved toward the surface on which the pressure was detected (step S522). When the CPU does not determine that the magnitude of the obtained pressure is greater than the predetermined pressure (No in step S520), the display position of the object is restored to the position prior to the movement (step S524).

Preferably, the pressure sensor 5 is provided in a region on the side surface of the casing 110 that is in contact with the user's finger (for example, thumb) in a state where the user holds the smartphone 100.

With reference to FIG. 2 (A) to FIG. 2 (C), an outline of processing executed by the smartphone 100 according to the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a state in which the user is operating the smartphone 100. As shown in FIG. 2A, an object 30 associated with the function of the smartphone 100 is displayed on the touch panel 4. When the user touches the object 30, the smartphone 100 executes a function associated with the object 30. The object 30 includes, for example, an icon image, a button image, and other images associated with the function of the smartphone 100.

As shown in FIG. 2B, when the user operates the touch panel 4 with the hand holding the smartphone 100 (the left hand in FIG. 2B), the user normally holds the smartphone 100. The touch panel 4 is often operated with the thumb of the hand. When trying to touch the object 30 with the thumb of the left hand, the thumb may not reach the object 30 when the object 30 is displayed at a position away from the thumb. In such a case, the user must touch the object 30 with the right hand opposite to the left hand holding the smartphone 100. In particular, the object 30 cannot be touched when the right hand is holding a luggage or the like. In order to solve such a problem, the smartphone 100 according to the present embodiment has a display position of the object 30 within a range where the thumb of the hand holding the smartphone 100 can reach so that the user can operate the touch panel 4 with one hand. To move.

More specifically, as shown in FIG. 2B, when the thumb does not reach the object 30, the user tries to bring the thumb closer to the object 30. Along with this, the pressure applied to the side surface of the smartphone 100 increases. That is, the pressure detected by the pressure sensor 5 increases.

When the pressure detected by the pressure sensor 5 increases, the smartphone 100 displays the display position of the object 30 according to the magnitude of the pressure detected by the pressure sensor 5 as shown in FIG. Move to the provided side (left side of the page). For example, the display position of the object 30 is moved when the pressure detected by the pressure sensor 5 becomes larger than a predetermined pressure.

Thereby, the smartphone 100 can move the object 30 to the range where the thumb can reach. Therefore, the user can touch the object 30 with the hand holding the smartphone 100 and can operate the touch panel 4 with one hand. For this reason, the operativity of the smart phone 100 improves.

In addition, although FIG. 2 demonstrated the example which operates the touch panel 4 with a user's left hand, the smart phone 100 may be comprised so that the touch panel 4 can be operated with a user's right hand.

The CPU 2 controls the operation of the smartphone 100 by executing various programs such as an operating system and a control program for the smartphone 100 stored in the ROM 1 and the storage device 20. The RAM 3 functions as a working memory for executing the program by the CPU 2 and temporarily stores various data necessary for executing the program.

The touch panel 4 includes a monitor 4A and a touch sensor 4B. The touch sensor 4B is provided so as to overlap the touch sensor 4B in order to detect the position of the part touched on the monitor 4A. The position is detected as coordinates on the touch panel 4, for example. The touch panel 4 is realized by, for example, a resistance film method, a capacitance method, or other methods capable of detecting contact with the touch panel 4.

The pressure sensor 5 detects a pressure applied from the outside to one of the side surfaces of the smartphone 100. More specifically, the pressure sensor 5 converts the detected pressure into an electrical signal and outputs it to the CPU 2. In one aspect, the pressure sensor 5 is provided on one of the side surfaces of the smartphone 100. It should be noted that pressure sensor 5 is provided on one side of the side surface of housing 110 and pressure sensor 6 is provided, as will be described later, smartphone 100A according to the second embodiment and smartphone 100B according to the third embodiment. It may be provided on the other side of the side surface of the housing 110. Pressure sensor 6 is not an essential component in smartphone 100 according to the present embodiment.

[Function configuration]
An example of a functional configuration of the smartphone 100 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 is a block diagram illustrating a functional configuration of the smartphone 100. The CPU 2 includes an acquisition unit 210, a display control unit 220, and a reception unit 230.

The acquisition unit 210 converts an electrical signal output according to the magnitude of a load applied to the pressure sensor 5 from the outside into a numerical value indicating the magnitude of the pressure (hereinafter also referred to as “pressure value”), and the pressure. Get the value. The acquisition unit 210 outputs the acquired pressure value to the display control unit 220. When the pressure sensor 5 itself can output a pressure value, the display control unit 220 may directly receive the pressure value from the pressure sensor 5. In this case, the acquisition unit 210 need not be realized by the CPU 2.

The display control unit 220 moves the display position of the object displayed on the touch panel to the surface side where the pressure sensor 5 is provided, according to the magnitude of the pressure applied to the pressure sensor 5 from the outside. More specifically, the display control unit 220 moves the object display when the pressure value output from the acquisition unit 210 is larger than a predetermined value.

In one aspect, the display control unit 220 changes the speed of moving the display of the object according to the magnitude of the pressure. For example, the display control unit 220 increases the moving speed of the object display as the pressure value increases, and decreases the moving speed of the object display as the pressure value decreases. Thereby, since the user can move the display of the object as intended, the operability of the touch panel is further improved. The display control unit 220 may determine the movement speed of the object display with reference to a table that defines the relationship between the pressure value and the movement speed of the object display.

In another aspect, the display control unit 220 moves the display of the object in real time according to the pressure value output from the acquisition unit 210. The smartphone 100 does not need to accumulate history information or the like for improving operability by determining whether or not to move the display position of the object in real time, and the operability of the smartphone 100 immediately after the operation is started. Can be improved.

If the display of the screen including the object remains moved, the screen may be interrupted. Therefore, the display control unit 220 returns the display position of the object to the position before the movement of the object when the pressure value becomes smaller than a predetermined value during or after the movement of the display position of the object. . Thereby, the smart phone 100 can improve the visibility of a screen compared with the case where the screen is interrupted.

The accepting unit 230 receives a user operation on the object whose display position has been moved. More specifically, when the touch position on the touch panel is included in the area where the object is displayed, the receiving unit 230 outputs a command signal for executing a function associated with the object.

[Control structure]
The control structure of the smartphone 100 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing a part of the process executed by smartphone 100. The processing in FIG. 5 is realized by the CPU 2 executing a program. In other aspects, some or all of the processing may be performed by circuit elements or other hardware.

In step S <b> 510, the CPU 2 acquires, as the acquisition unit 210, the pressure applied from the outside on the side surface of the smartphone 100 from the pressure sensor 5. In step S520, the CPU 2 determines, as the display control unit 220, whether the magnitude of the acquired pressure is greater than a predetermined pressure. If CPU 2 determines that the magnitude of the acquired pressure is greater than a predetermined pressure (YES in step S520), CPU 2 switches control to step S522. If not (NO in step S520), CPU 2 switches control to step S524.

In step S522, the CPU 2 moves the display position of the object toward the pressure sensor 5 as the display control unit 220. The CPU 2 may move the display position of the object by moving the entire screen displayed on the touch panel, or may move only the display of the object. In step S524, the CPU 2 returns the display position of the object to the position before the movement as the display control unit 220.

In step S530, CPU 2 determines whether or not to end the process according to the present embodiment. For example, when the CPU 2 receives a user operation for ending the process according to the present embodiment, the CPU 2 ends the process. When CPU 2 determines to end the process according to the present embodiment (YES in step S530), CPU 2 ends the process. If not (NO in step S530), CPU 2 returns control to step S510.

[Brief Summary]
As described above, smartphone 100 according to the present embodiment can move the object displayed on the touch panel to a range where the user's thumb can reach. Thereby, in order to operate the smart phone 100, the user does not need to change the hand holding the smart phone 100. Thereby, since operation of the smart phone 100 can be performed with one hand, the operativity of the smart phone 100 improves significantly.

Further, the smartphone 100A may move the display of the entire screen including the object 30 to the pressure sensor 5 side or the pressure sensor 6 side, or move only the display of the object 30 to the pressure sensor 5 side or the pressure sensor 6 side. May be.

[Brief Summary]
As described above, smartphone 100A according to the present embodiment is provided with pressure sensors on both side surfaces of smartphone 100A. Therefore, smartphone 100A is gripped with the left hand even when smartphone 100A is gripped with the right hand. Even so, it is possible to operate the touch panel only with the hand on the gripping side. This eliminates the need for the user to worry about operating the touch panel with the right hand or operating the touch panel with the left hand, thereby further improving the operability of the touch panel.

<Third Embodiment>

Since other points such as the hardware configuration are the same as those of the smartphone 100 according to the first embodiment, description thereof will not be repeated.

As shown in FIG. 7A, the smartphone 100B includes a pressure sensor unit 50 provided on one side surface (for example, the left surface) of the housing 110 and the other side surface (for example, the right surface) of the housing 110. And a provided pressure sensor unit 60.

The pressure sensor unit 50 includes a plurality of pressure sensors 5. Each of the plurality of pressure sensors 5 is provided at a different position on the left surface in order to detect the pressure applied to the left surface by the user at various positions. Preferably, each of the plurality of pressure sensors 5 is provided along the longitudinal direction of the left surface. Thereby, since the range which can detect the pressure with respect to a left surface spreads, when a user hold | grips the smart phone 100B, it becomes possible to detect the pressure applied to the left surface more reliably.

The pressure sensor unit 60 includes a plurality of pressure sensors 6. Each of the plurality of pressure sensors 6 is provided at a different position on the right surface in order to detect the pressure applied to the right surface by the user at various positions. Preferably, each of the plurality of pressure sensors 6 is provided along the longitudinal direction of the right surface. Thereby, since the range which can detect the pressure with respect to a right surface spreads, when a user hold | grips the smart phone 100B, it becomes possible to detect more reliably the pressure applied to the right surface.

If it increases compared to before, the object 30 is moved to the pressure sensor 5 side. The smartphone 100 </ b> B moves the object 30 within a range where the thumb of the left hand can reach, so that the user can touch the object 30 with the thumb of the left hand.

After that, if the pressure applied to the left surface by the user does not decrease, or if the pressure applied to the left surface by the user further increases, it is assumed that the user is trying to extend his finger further. In this case, as illustrated in FIG. 7E, the smartphone 100B further moves the object 30 to the left side. When the pressure applied to the left surface by the user decreases, the smartphone 100B returns the display position of the object 30 to the original position.

If the number of pressure detection sensors exceeds a certain number (YES in step S620), CPU 2 switches control to step S630. If not (NO in step S620), CPU 2 returns control to step S610.

In step S630, the CPU 2 determines whether the pressure on the left surface or the right surface has increased. As an example, the CPU 2 determines that the pressure on the left surface has increased when the number of pressure detection sensors on the left surface exceeds a certain number. Further, the CPU 2 determines that the pressure on the right surface has increased when the number of pressure detection sensors on the right surface exceeds a certain number. When the CPU 2 determines that the pressure on the left surface has increased (“left surface” in step S630 in FIG. 8), the control is switched to step S640. When the CPU 2 determines that the pressure on the right surface has increased (“right surface” in step S630 in FIG. 8), the control is switched to step S650. In a certain situation, when the CPU 2 determines that the pressure on both the right surface and the left surface has increased (“double-sided” in step S630 in FIG. 8), the control is returned to step S610.

The trigger for executing is not limited to this. For example, the display control unit 220 moves the object to the left side and is provided on the right side when the average pressure detected by the pressure sensor 5 provided on the left side is larger than a predetermined pressure. When the average of the pressure detected by the pressure sensor 6 becomes larger than a predetermined pressure, the object may be moved to the right surface side. The display control unit 220 may be configured to move the display position of the object based on the amount of change in the number of pressure detection sensors.

In the above description, an example in which the pressure on the left surface or the right surface is determined in step S630 has been described.
