　次に、このように構成されたストッカ１１の動作、特に、操作者がタッチパネル３３により入力操作を行うときの画面の表示処理について説明する。図３は、ストッカ１１の制御部３２によって実行される画面表示処理ルーチンの一例を表すフローチャートである。このルーチンは、記憶部４３に記憶され、人感センサ３９で操作者を検知したあと制御部３２のＣＰＵ４２により実行される。このルーチンを開始すると、ＣＰＵ４２は、カメラモジュール３７で操作者を撮像し、操作者の高さ（身長）を検出する（Ｓ１００）。次に、ＣＰＵ４２は、検出した身長が第１範囲であるか、第１範囲よりも低い第２範囲であるかを判定する（Ｓ１１０）。このストッカ１１では、例えば、第１範囲は操作者の身長が１８０ｃｍ以上を含む１６５ｃｍ以上の範囲に定められる一方、第２範囲は操作者の身長が１５０ｃｍ以下を含む１６５ｃｍ未満の範囲に定められている。なお、ここでは、操作者の身長を判定する第１範囲と第２範囲との間になる閾値を１６５ｃｍとしたが、特にこれに限定されず、１６０ｃｍや１７０ｃｍなど、利用者の平均身長やタッチパネル３３の設置高さなどに応じて適宜定めるものとすればよい。 Next, the operation of the stocker 11 configured as described above, particularly the display processing of the screen when the operator performs an input operation on the touch panel 33 will be described. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing an example of a screen display processing routine executed by the control unit 32 of the stocker 11. This routine is stored in the storage unit 43, and is executed by the CPU 42 of the control unit 32 after the human sensor 39 detects the operator. When this routine is started, the CPU 42 images the operator with the camera module 37 and detects the height (height) of the operator (S100). Next, the CPU 42 determines whether the detected height is in the first range or in the second range lower than the first range (S110). In this stocker 11, for example, the first range is set to a range of 165 cm or more including the height of the operator of 180 cm or more, while the second range is set to a range of less than 165 cm including the height of the operator of 150 cm or less. There is. Here, the threshold value between the first range and the second range for determining the height of the operator is set to 165 cm, but the threshold value is not particularly limited to this, and the average height of the user such as 160 cm or 170 cm or the touch panel is used. It may be appropriately determined according to the installation height of 33, and the like.
　操作者の高さが閾値より低い第２範囲であるときには、ＣＰＵ４２は、操作画面５１を下部領域４５に表示させると共に、第２画面５２を上部領域４６に表示させる（Ｓ１２０）。一方、操作者の高さが閾値より高い第１範囲であるときには、ＣＰＵ４２は、操作画面５１を上部領域４６に表示させると共に、第２画面５２を下部領域４５に表示させる（Ｓ１３０）。図４は、身長の異なる操作者ＭＬ，ＭＨと入力画面５０の説明図である。図４に示すように、ＣＰＵ４２は、身長が高い第１範囲の操作者ＭＨでは、操作画面５１を上部領域４６に配置するため、入力しやすい位置に操作画面５１が配置され、操作者ＭＬの操作性を高めることができる。また、ＣＰＵ４２は、身長が低い第２範囲の操作者ＭＬでは、操作画面５１を下部領域４５に配置するため、入力しやすい位置に操作画面５１が配置され、操作者ＭＬの操作性を高めることができる。 When the height of the operator is in the second range lower than the threshold value, the CPU 42 displays the operation screen 51 in the lower area 45 and the second screen 52 in the upper area 46 (S120). On the other hand, when the height of the operator is in the first range higher than the threshold value, the CPU 42 displays the operation screen 51 in the upper area 46 and the second screen 52 in the lower area 45 (S130). FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram of the operators ML and MH having different heights and the input screen 50. As shown in FIG. 4, the CPU 42 arranges the operation screen 51 in the upper region 46 for the operator MH in the first range having a high height. Therefore, the operation screen 51 is arranged in a position where it is easy to input, and the operator ML Operability can be improved. Further, the CPU 42 arranges the operation screen 51 in the lower region 45 for the operator ML in the second range having a short height. Therefore, the operation screen 51 is arranged at a position where it is easy to input, and the operability of the operator ML is improved. You can
　Ｓ１２０のあと、又はＳ１３０のあと、ＣＰＵ４２は、入力が終了したか否かを、入力画面５０の入力状況に基づいて判定し（Ｓ１４０）、入力が終了していないときには、そのまま待機する。一方、入力が終了したときには、次の入力画面があるか否かを判定し（Ｓ１５０）、次の入力画面があるときには、Ｓ１１０以降の処理を実行する。即ち、ＣＰＵ４２は、Ｓ１１０で操作者の高さを確認し、Ｓ１２０，１３０で操作者の高さに合わせた位置に操作画面５１を配置した次の入力画面を表示させる。一方、Ｓ１５０で次の入力画面がないときには、ＣＰＵ４２は、そのままこのルーチンを終了する。 After S120 or S130, the CPU 42 determines whether or not the input is completed based on the input status of the input screen 50 (S140), and when the input is not completed, waits as it is. On the other hand, when the input is completed, it is determined whether or not there is a next input screen (S150), and when the next input screen is present, the processing of S110 and thereafter is executed. That is, the CPU 42 confirms the height of the operator in S110, and displays the next input screen in which the operation screen 51 is arranged at a position corresponding to the height of the operator in S120 and S130. On the other hand, if there is no next input screen in S150, the CPU 42 ends this routine as it is.
