《プログラム》
本発明の一態様のプログラムは、下記のステップを有する(図14(A)参照)。
"program"
The program of one embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps (see FIG. 14A).
[第1のステップ]
第1のステップにおいて、設定を初期化する(図14(A)(S1)参照)。
[First step]
In the first step, the settings are initialized (see FIGS. 14A and S1).
例えば、起動時に表示する所定の画像情報と、当該画像情報を表示する所定のモードと、当該画像情報を表示する所定の表示方法を特定する情報と、を記憶部212から取得する。具体的には、一の静止画像情報または他の動画像情報を所定の画像情報に用いることができる。また、第1のモードまたは第2のモードを所定のモードに用いることができる。 For example, predetermined image information to be displayed at startup, a predetermined mode for displaying the image information, and information for specifying a predetermined display method for displaying the image information are acquired from the storage unit 212. Specifically, one still image information or other moving image information can be used as predetermined image information. Further, the first mode or the second mode can be used as a predetermined mode.
[第2のステップ]
第2のステップにおいて、割り込み処理を許可する(図14(A)(S2)参照)。なお、割り込み処理が許可された演算装置は、主の処理と並行して割り込み処理を行うことができる。割り込み処理から主の処理に復帰した演算装置は、割り込み処理をして得た結果を主の処理に反映することができる。
[Second step]
In the second step, interrupt processing is permitted (see FIGS. 14A and S2). Note that an arithmetic unit that is permitted to perform interrupt processing can perform interrupt processing in parallel with main processing. The arithmetic unit that has returned to the main process from the interrupt process can reflect the result obtained by the interrupt process to the main process.
なお、カウンタの値が初期値であるとき、演算装置に割り込み処理をさせ、割り込み処理から復帰する際に、カウンタを初期値以外の値としてもよい。これにより、プログラムを起動した後に常に割り込み処理をさせることができる。 Note that when the counter value is an initial value, the arithmetic unit performs interrupt processing, and when returning from the interrupt processing, the counter may be set to a value other than the initial value. As a result, interrupt processing can always be performed after the program is started.
[第3のステップ]
第3のステップにおいて、第1のステップまたは割り込み処理において選択された、所定のモードまたは所定の表示方法を用いて画像情報を表示する(図14(A)(S3)参照)。なお、所定のモードは情報を表示するモードを特定し、所定の表示方法は画像情報を表示する方法を特定する。また、例えば、画像情報V1を表示する情報に用いることができる。
[Third step]
In the third step, the image information is displayed using the predetermined mode or the predetermined display method selected in the first step or the interruption process (see FIGS. 14A and S3). The predetermined mode specifies a mode for displaying information, and the predetermined display method specifies a method for displaying image information. Further, for example, it can be used as information for displaying the image information V1.
例えば、画像情報V1を表示する一の方法を、第1のモードに関連付けることができる。または、画像情報V1を表示する他の方法を第2のモードに関連付けることができる。これにより、選択されたモードに基づいて表示方法を選択することができる。 For example, one method for displaying the image information V1 can be associated with the first mode. Alternatively, another method for displaying the image information V1 can be associated with the second mode. Thereby, a display method can be selected based on the selected mode.
《第1のモード》
具体的には、30Hz以上、好ましくは60Hz以上の頻度で一の走査線に選択信号を供給し、選択信号に基づいて表示をする方法を、第1のモードに関連付けることができる。
<First mode>
Specifically, a method of supplying a selection signal to one scanning line at a frequency of 30 Hz or more, preferably 60 Hz or more, and displaying based on the selection signal can be associated with the first mode.
例えば、30Hz以上、好ましくは60Hz以上の頻度で選択信号を供給すると、動画像の動きを滑らかに表示することができる。 For example, when the selection signal is supplied at a frequency of 30 Hz or higher, preferably 60 Hz or higher, the motion of the moving image can be displayed smoothly.
例えば、30Hz以上、好ましくは60Hz以上の頻度で画像を更新すると、使用者の操作に滑らかに追従するように変化する画像を、使用者が操作中の情報処理装置200に表示することができる。 For example, when an image is updated at a frequency of 30 Hz or higher, preferably 60 Hz or higher, an image that changes so as to smoothly follow the user's operation can be displayed on the information processing apparatus 200 being operated by the user.
《第2のモード》
具体的には、30Hz未満、好ましくは1Hz未満、より好ましくは一分に一回未満の頻度で一の走査線に選択信号を供給し、選択信号に基づいて表示をする方法を、第2のモードに関連付けることができる。
<< Second mode >>
Specifically, a method for supplying a selection signal to one scanning line at a frequency of less than 30 Hz, preferably less than 1 Hz, more preferably less than once per minute, and performing display based on the selection signal, Can be associated with a mode.
30Hz未満、好ましくは1Hz未満、より好ましくは一分に一回未満の頻度で選択信号を供給すると、フリッカーまたはちらつきが抑制された表示をすることができる。また、消費電力を低減することができる。 When the selection signal is supplied at a frequency of less than 30 Hz, preferably less than 1 Hz, more preferably less than once per minute, a display in which flicker or flicker is suppressed can be displayed. In addition, power consumption can be reduced.
例えば、情報処理装置200を時計に用いる場合、1秒に一回の頻度または1分に一回の頻度等で表示を更新することができる。 For example, when the information processing apparatus 200 is used for a clock, the display can be updated at a frequency of once per second or a frequency of once per minute.
ところで、例えば、発光素子を表示素子に用いる場合、発光素子をパルス状に発光させて、画像情報を表示することができる。具体的には、パルス状に有機EL素子を発光させて、その残光を表示に用いることができる。有機EL素子は優れた周波数特性を備えるため、発光素子を駆動する時間を短縮し、消費電力を低減することができる場合がある。または、発熱が抑制されるため、発光素子の劣化を軽減することができる場合がある。 By the way, for example, when a light-emitting element is used as a display element, the light-emitting element can emit light in a pulse shape to display image information. Specifically, the organic EL element can emit light in a pulse shape, and the afterglow can be used for display. Since the organic EL element has excellent frequency characteristics, there are cases where the time for driving the light emitting element can be shortened and the power consumption can be reduced. Alternatively, heat generation is suppressed, so that deterioration of the light-emitting element can be reduced in some cases.
[第4のステップ]
第4のステップにおいて、終了命令が供給された場合は第5のステップに進み、終了命令が供給されなかった場合は第3のステップに進むように選択する(図14(A)(S4)参照)。
[Fourth step]
In the fourth step, if the end command is supplied, the process proceeds to the fifth step. If the end command is not supplied, the process is selected to proceed to the third step (see FIGS. 14A and S4). ).
例えば、割り込み処理において供給された終了命令を判断に用いてもよい。 For example, an end command supplied in the interrupt process may be used for determination.
[第5のステップ]
第5のステップにおいて、終了する(図14(A)(S5)参照)。
[Fifth step]
In the fifth step, the process ends (see FIGS. 14A and S5).

[第6のステップ]

[Sixth Step]
In the sixth step, for example, the detection unit 250 is used to detect the illuminance of the environment in which the information processing apparatus 200 is used (see FIGS. 14B and S6). Note that the color temperature or chromaticity of the ambient light may be detected instead of the illuminance of the environment.
[第7のステップ]
第7のステップにおいて、検出した照度情報に基づいて表示方法を決定する(図14(B)(S7)参照)。例えば、表示の明るさを暗すぎないように、または明るすぎないように決定する。
[Seventh Step]
In the seventh step, a display method is determined based on the detected illuminance information (see FIGS. 14B and S7). For example, the display brightness is determined not to be too dark or too bright.
なお、第6のステップにおいて環境光の色温度や環境光の色度を検出した場合は、表示の色味を調節してもよい。 When the color temperature of ambient light or the chromaticity of ambient light is detected in the sixth step, the display color may be adjusted.
[第8のステップ]
第8のステップにおいて、割り込み処理を終了する(図14(B)(S8)参照)。
[Eighth step]
In the eighth step, the interrupt process is terminated (see FIGS. 14B and S8).

If a predetermined event is not supplied, the process proceeds to the eighth step (see FIGS. 15A and U6). ). For example, it can be used as a condition whether or not a predetermined event is supplied during a predetermined period. Specifically, the predetermined period can be a period of 5 seconds or less, 1 second or less, or 0.5 seconds or less, preferably 0.1 seconds or less and longer than 0 seconds.
[第7のステップ]
第7のステップにおいて、モードを変更する(図15(A)(U7)参照)。具体的には、第1のモードを選択していた場合は、第2のモードを選択し、第2のモードを選択していた場合は、第1のモードを選択する。
[Seventh Step]
In the seventh step, the mode is changed (see FIGS. 15A and U7). Specifically, when the first mode is selected, the second mode is selected, and when the second mode is selected, the first mode is selected.
例えば、表示部230の一部の領域について、表示モードを変更することができる。具体的には、駆動回路GDA、駆動回路GDBおよび駆動回路GDCを備える表示部230の一の駆動回路が選択信号を供給する領域について、表示モードを変更することができる(図15(B)参照)。 For example, the display mode can be changed for some areas of the display unit 230. Specifically, the display mode can be changed for a region where one driver circuit of the display portion 230 including the driver circuit GDA, the driver circuit GDB, and the driver circuit GDC supplies a selection signal (see FIG. 15B). ).
例えば、駆動回路GDBが選択信号を供給する領域と重なる領域にある入力部240に、所定のイベントが供給された場合に、駆動回路GDBが選択信号を供給する領域の表示モードを変更することができる(図15(B)および図15(C)参照)。具体的には、指等を用いてタッチパネルに供給する「タップ」イベントに応じて、駆動回路GDBが供給する選択信号の頻度を変更することができる。 For example, when a predetermined event is supplied to the input unit 240 in an area overlapping with an area where the drive circuit GDB supplies a selection signal, the display mode of the area where the drive circuit GDB supplies the selection signal may be changed. (See FIGS. 15B and 15C). Specifically, the frequency of the selection signal supplied by the drive circuit GDB can be changed according to a “tap” event supplied to the touch panel using a finger or the like.
なお、信号GCLKは駆動回路GDBの動作を制御するクロック信号であり、信号PWC1および信号PWC2は駆動回路GDBの動作を制御するパルス幅制御信号である。駆動回路GDBは、信号GCLK、信号PWC1および信号PWC2等に基づいて、選択信号を走査線G2(m+1)乃至走査線G2(2m)に供給する。 Signal GCLK is a clock signal for controlling the operation of drive circuit GDB, and signal PWC1 and signal PWC2 are pulse width control signals for controlling the operation of drive circuit GDB. The drive circuit GDB supplies a selection signal to the scanning lines G2 (m + 1) to G2 (2m) based on the signal GCLK, the signal PWC1, the signal PWC2, and the like.
これにより、例えば、駆動回路GDAおよび駆動回路GDCが選択信号を供給することなく、駆動回路GDBが選択信号を供給することができる。または、駆動回路GDAおよび駆動回路GDCが選択信号を供給する領域の表示を変えることなく、駆動回路GDBが選択信号を供給する領域の表示を更新することができる。または、駆動回路が消費する電力を抑制することができる。 Thereby, for example, the drive circuit GDB and the drive circuit GDC can supply the selection signal without supplying the selection signal. Alternatively, the display of the region where the drive circuit GDB supplies the selection signal can be updated without changing the display of the region where the drive circuit GDA and the drive circuit GDC supply the selection signal. Alternatively, power consumed by the driver circuit can be suppressed.
[第8のステップ]
第8のステップにおいて、割り込み処理を終了する(図15(A)(U8)参照)。なお、主の処理を実行している期間に割り込み処理を繰り返し実行してもよい。
[Eighth step]
In the eighth step, the interrupt process is terminated (see FIGS. 15A and U8). Note that interrupt processing may be repeatedly executed during a period in which main processing is being executed.
《所定のイベント》
例えば、マウス等のポインティング装置を用いて供給する、「クリック」や「ドラッグ」等のイベント、指等をポインタに用いてタッチパネルに供給する、「タップ」、「ドラッグ」または「スワイプ」等のイベントを用いることができる。
《Predetermined event》
For example, an event such as “click” or “drag” supplied using a pointing device such as a mouse, an event such as “tap”, “drag” or “swipe” supplied to a touch panel using a finger or the like as a pointer Can be used.
また、例えば、ポインタが指し示すスライドバーの位置、スワイプの速度、ドラッグの速度等を用いて、所定のイベントに関連付けられた命令の引数を与えることができる。 Further, for example, an argument of a command associated with a predetermined event can be given using the position of the slide bar pointed to by the pointer, the swipe speed, the drag speed, or the like.
例えば、検知部250が検知した情報をあらかじめ設定された閾値と比較して、比較結果をイベントに用いることができる。 For example, the information detected by the detection unit 250 can be compared with a preset threshold value, and the comparison result can be used as an event.
具体的には、筐体に押し込むことができるように配設されたボタン等に接する感圧検知器等を検知部250に用いることができる。 Specifically, a pressure-sensitive detector or the like that contacts a button or the like that can be pushed into the housing can be used for the detection unit 250.
《所定のイベントに関連付ける命令》
例えば、終了命令を、特定のイベントに関連付けることができる。
《Instructions related to predetermined events》
For example, an end instruction can be associated with a particular event.
例えば、表示されている一の画像情報から他の画像情報に表示を切り替える「ページめくり命令」を、所定のイベントに関連付けることができる。なお、「ページめくり命令」を実行する際に用いるページをめくる速度などを決定する引数を、所定のイベントを用いて与えることができる。 For example, a “page turning command” for switching display from one displayed image information to another image information can be associated with a predetermined event. Note that an argument that determines a page turning speed used when executing the “page turning instruction” can be given using a predetermined event.
例えば、一の画像情報の表示されている一部分の表示位置を移動して、一部分に連続する他の部分を表示する「スクロール命令」などを、所定のイベントに関連付けることができる。なお、「スクロール命令」を実行する際に用いる表示を移動する速度などを決定する引数を、所定のイベントを用いて与えることができる。 For example, a “scroll command” for moving the display position of a part of one image information displayed to display another part continuous to the part can be associated with a predetermined event. It should be noted that an argument for determining the speed of moving the display used when executing the “scroll command” can be given using a predetermined event.
例えば、表示方法を設定する命令または画像情報を生成する命令などを、所定のイベントに関連付けることができる。なお、生成する画像の明るさを決定する引数を所定のイベントに関連付けることができる。また、生成する画像の明るさを決定する引数を、検知部250が検知する環境の明るさに基づいて決定してもよい。 For example, a command for setting a display method or a command for generating image information can be associated with a predetermined event. An argument that determines the brightness of the image to be generated can be associated with a predetermined event. Further, an argument for determining the brightness of the image to be generated may be determined based on the brightness of the environment detected by the detection unit 250.
例えば、プッシュ型のサービスを用いて配信される情報を、通信部290を用いて取得する命令などを、所定のイベントに関連付けることができる。 For example, a command for acquiring information distributed using a push-type service using the communication unit 290 can be associated with a predetermined event.
なお、情報を取得する資格の有無を、検知部250が検知する位置情報を用いて判断してもよい。具体的には、所定の教室、学校、会議室、企業、建物等の内部または領域にいる場合に、情報を取得する資格を有すると判断してもよい。これにより、例えば、学校または大学等の教室で配信される教材を受信して、情報処理装置200を教科書等に用いることができる(図13(C)参照)。または、企業等の会議室で配信される資料を受信して、会議資料に用いることができる。 In addition, you may determine the presence or absence of the qualification to acquire information using the positional information which the detection part 250 detects. Specifically, it may be determined that the person is qualified to acquire information when in or in a predetermined classroom, school, conference room, company, building, or the like. Thus, for example, the teaching material distributed in a classroom such as a school or university can be received, and the information processing apparatus 200 can be used as a textbook (see FIG. 13C). Alternatively, a material distributed in a conference room of a company or the like can be received and used as a conference material.

Note that the case where X and Y are functionally connected includes the case where X and Y are directly connected and the case where X and Y are electrically connected.
なお、XとYとが電気的に接続されている、と明示的に記載されている場合は、XとYとが電気的に接続されている場合(つまり、XとYとの間に別の素子又は別の回路を挟んで接続されている場合)と、XとYとが機能的に接続されている場合(つまり、XとYとの間に別の回路を挟んで機能的に接続されている場合)と、XとYとが直接接続されている場合(つまり、XとYとの間に別の素子又は別の回路を挟まずに接続されている場合)とが、本明細書等に開示されているものとする。つまり、電気的に接続されている、と明示的に記載されている場合は、単に、接続されている、とのみ明示的に記載されている場合と同様な内容が、本明細書等に開示されているものとする。 In addition, when it is explicitly described that X and Y are electrically connected, a case where X and Y are electrically connected (that is, there is a separate connection between X and Y). And X and Y are functionally connected (that is, they are functionally connected with another circuit between X and Y). And the case where X and Y are directly connected (that is, the case where another element or another circuit is not connected between X and Y). It shall be disclosed in the document. In other words, when it is explicitly described that it is electrically connected, the same contents as when it is explicitly described only that it is connected are disclosed in this specification and the like. It is assumed that
なお、例えば、トランジスタのソース(又は第1の端子など)が、Z1を介して(又は介さず)、Xと電気的に接続され、トランジスタのドレイン(又は第2の端子など)が、Z2を介して(又は介さず)、Yと電気的に接続されている場合や、トランジスタのソース(又は第1の端子など)が、Z1の一部と直接的に接続され、Z1の別の一部がXと直接的に接続され、トランジスタのドレイン(又は第2の端子など)が、Z2の一部と直接的に接続され、Z2の別の一部がYと直接的に接続されている場合では、以下のように表現することが出来る。 Note that for example, the source (or the first terminal) of the transistor is electrically connected to X through (or not through) Z1, and the drain (or the second terminal or the like) of the transistor is connected to Z2. Through (or without), Y is electrically connected, or the source (or the first terminal, etc.) of the transistor is directly connected to a part of Z1, and another part of Z1 Is directly connected to X, and the drain (or second terminal, etc.) of the transistor is directly connected to a part of Z2, and another part of Z2 is directly connected to Y. Then, it can be expressed as follows.
例えば、「XとYとトランジスタのソース(又は第1の端子など)とドレイン(又は第2の端子など)とは、互いに電気的に接続されており、X、トランジスタのソース(又は第1の端子など)、トランジスタのドレイン(又は第2の端子など)、Yの順序で電気的に接続されている。」と表現することができる。または、「トランジスタのソース(又は第1の端子など)は、Xと電気的に接続され、トランジスタのドレイン(又は第2の端子など)はYと電気的に接続され、X、トランジスタのソース(又は第1の端子など)、トランジスタのドレイン(又は第2の端子など)、Yは、この順序で電気的に接続されている」と表現することができる。または、「Xは、トランジスタのソース(又は第1の端子など)とドレイン(又は第2の端子など)とを介して、Yと電気的に接続され、X、トランジスタのソース(又は第1の端子など)、トランジスタのドレイン(又は第2の端子など)、Yは、この接続順序で設けられている」と表現することができる。これらの例と同様な表現方法を用いて、回路構成における接続の順序について規定することにより、トランジスタのソース(又は第1の端子など)と、ドレイン(又は第2の端子など)とを、区別して、技術的範囲を決定することができる。 For example, “X and Y, and the source (or the first terminal or the like) and the drain (or the second terminal or the like) of the transistor are electrically connected to each other. The drain of the transistor (or the second terminal, etc.) and the Y are electrically connected in this order. ” Or “the source (or the first terminal or the like) of the transistor is electrically connected to X, the drain (or the second terminal or the like) of the transistor is electrically connected to Y, and X or the source ( Or the first terminal or the like, the drain of the transistor (or the second terminal, or the like) and Y are electrically connected in this order.

Terminal, etc.), the drain of the transistor (or the second terminal, etc.), and Y are provided in this connection order. By using the same expression method as in these examples and defining the order of connection in the circuit configuration, the source (or the first terminal, etc.) and the drain (or the second terminal, etc.) of the transistor are separated. Apart from that, the technical scope can be determined.
または、別の表現方法として、例えば、「トランジスタのソース(又は第1の端子など)は、少なくとも第1の接続経路を介して、Xと電気的に接続され、前記第1の接続経路は、第2の接続経路を有しておらず、前記第2の接続経路は、トランジスタを介した、トランジスタのソース(又は第1の端子など)とトランジスタのドレイン(又は第2の端子など)との間の経路であり、前記第1の接続経路は、Z1を介した経路であり、トランジスタのドレイン(又は第2の端子など)は、少なくとも第3の接続経路を介して、Yと電気的に接続され、前記第3の接続経路は、前記第2の接続経路を有しておらず、前記第3の接続経路は、Z2を介した経路である。」と表現することができる。または、「トランジスタのソース(又は第1の端子など)は、少なくとも第1の接続経路によって、Z1を介して、Xと電気的に接続され、前記第1の接続経路は、第2の接続経路を有しておらず、前記第2の接続経路は、トランジスタを介した接続経路を有し、トランジスタのドレイン(又は第2の端子など)は、少なくとも第3の接続経路によって、Z2を介して、Yと電気的に接続され、前記第3の接続経路は、前記第2の接続経路を有していない。」と表現することができる。または、「トランジスタのソース(又は第1の端子など)は、少なくとも第1の電気的パスによって、Z1を介して、Xと電気的に接続され、前記第1の電気的パスは、第2の電気的パスを有しておらず、前記第2の電気的パスは、トランジスタのソース(又は第1の端子など)からトランジスタのドレイン(又は第2の端子など)への電気的パスであり、トランジスタのドレイン(又は第2の端子など)は、少なくとも第3の電気的パスによって、Z2を介して、Yと電気的に接続され、前記第3の電気的パスは、第4の電気的パスを有しておらず、前記第4の電気的パスは、トランジスタのドレイン(又は第2の端子など)からトランジスタのソース(又は第1の端子など)への電気的パスである。」と表現することができる。これらの例と同様な表現方法を用いて、回路構成における接続経路について規定することにより、トランジスタのソース(又は第1の端子など)と、ドレイン(又は第2の端子など)とを、区別して、技術的範囲を決定することができる。 Alternatively, as another expression method, for example, “a source (or a first terminal or the like of a transistor) is electrically connected to X through at least a first connection path, and the first connection path is The second connection path does not have a second connection path, and the second connection path includes a transistor source (or first terminal or the like) and a transistor drain (or second terminal or the like) through the transistor.

Using the same expression method as those examples, by defining the connection path in the circuit configuration, the source (or the first terminal or the like) of the transistor and the drain (or the second terminal or the like) are distinguished. The technical scope can be determined.
なお、これらの表現方法は、一例であり、これらの表現方法に限定されない。ここで、X、Y、Z1、Z2は、対象物(例えば、装置、素子、回路、配線、電極、端子、導電膜、層、など)であるとする。 In addition, these expression methods are examples, and are not limited to these expression methods. Here, it is assumed that X, Y, Z1, and Z2 are objects (for example, devices, elements, circuits, wirings, electrodes, terminals, conductive films, layers, and the like).
なお、回路図上は独立している構成要素同士が電気的に接続しているように図示されている場合であっても、1つの構成要素が、複数の構成要素の機能を併せ持っている場合もある。例えば配線の一部が電極としても機能する場合は、一の導電膜が、配線の機能、及び電極の機能の両方の構成要素の機能を併せ持っている。したがって、本明細書における電気的に接続とは、このような、一の導電膜が、複数の構成要素の機能を併せ持っている場合も、その範疇に含める。 In addition, even when the components shown in the circuit diagram are electrically connected to each other, even when one component has the functions of a plurality of components. There is also. For example, in the case where a part of the wiring also functions as an electrode, one conductive film has both the functions of the constituent elements of the wiring function and the electrode function. Therefore, the term “electrically connected” in this specification includes in its category such a case where one conductive film has functions of a plurality of components.
