In addition, in FIGS. 1B and 11, arrows indicate main signal and information flows.
本実施の形態の入力装置１は、例えば、図１Ａに示すように、車両８のステアリング８５に搭載されている。ユーザは、ステアリング８５を把持した状態で入力装置１を操作することができる。この入力装置１は、例えば、車両８の車載装置を操作することができるように構成されている。この車載装置とは、一例として、空調装置、音楽及び映像再生装置、ナビゲーション装置、座席のアレンジや自動運転などの車両８に関する各種設定を行うことができる車両制御装置などである。 The input device 1 of the present embodiment is mounted on the steering wheel 85 of the vehicle 8, for example, as shown in FIG. 1A. The user can operate the input device 1 while holding the steering wheel 85. The input device 1 is configured to be able to operate an in-vehicle device of the vehicle 8, for example. The on-vehicle device is, for example, an air conditioner, a music/video reproducing device, a navigation device, a vehicle control device that can perform various settings for the vehicle 8 such as seat arrangement and automatic driving.
車両８は、一例として、図１Ａに示すように、メータパネル８３に配置されたメータディスプレイ８４、センターコンソール８１ｂに配置されたメインディスプレイ８６、インストルメントパネル８１ｃに配置され、フロントガラス８８の投影領域８７０に表示対象を投影するヘッドアップディスプレイ８７、及びフロントガラス８８に配置されたルームミラーモニタ８８０などの表示装置を備えている。 As shown in FIG. 1A, the vehicle 8 is, for example, as shown in FIG. 1A, a meter display 84 arranged on a meter panel 83, a main display 86 arranged on a center console 81 b, an instrument panel 81 c, and a projection area of a windshield 88. It is provided with a display device such as a head-up display 87 that projects a display object on the 870 and a room mirror monitor 880 arranged on the windshield 88.
入力装置１は、これらのうち、少なくとも１つの表示装置に階層式のＧＵＩ（graphical user interface）を表示させるように構成されている。本実施の形態の入力装置１は、例えば、図２Ａに示すように、ヘッドアップディスプレイ８７の投影領域８７０にＧＵＩを表示させるように構成されている。このＧＵＩには、入力装置１によって制御可能な機能や設定値が画像として表示される。 The input device 1 is configured to display a hierarchical GUI (graphical user interface) on at least one of these display devices. The input device 1 of the present embodiment is configured to display a GUI in the projection area 870 of the head-up display 87, as shown in FIG. 2A, for example. On this GUI, functions and set values controllable by the input device 1 are displayed as images.
入力装置１は、例えば、図３Ａ及び図３Ｂに示すように、第１の操作領域としてのメニュー領域３０１及び第２の操作領域としてのダイレクト領域３０２を有し、タッチ操作を検出するタッチパネル３と、タッチパネル３になされたプッシュ操作を検出するスイッチ４と、後述する制御装置５と、を有する。 As shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, for example, the input device 1 has a menu area 301 as a first operation area and a direct area 302 as a second operation area, and has a touch panel 3 for detecting a touch operation. , A switch 4 for detecting a push operation made on the touch panel 3 and a control device 5 described later.
この制御装置５は、例えば、図１Ｂ～図２Ｂに示すように、メニュー領域３０１に対する操作が検出された後、メニュー領域３０１に隣接すると共に割り当てられた機能が異なるダイレクト領域３０２に対する操作が検出され、ダイレクト領域３０２に対する操作が意図しない操作であると判定した場合、ダイレクト領域３０２に対する操作を受け付けない制御部５０を有する。 For example, as shown in FIGS. 1B to 2B, the control device 5 detects an operation on the menu area 301 and then detects an operation on the direct area 302 adjacent to the menu area 301 and having a different assigned function. The control unit 50 does not accept the operation on the direct area 302 when it is determined that the operation on the direct area 302 is an unintended operation.
このメニュー領域３０１（第１の操作領域）とダイレクト領域３０２（第２の操作領域）は、隣接すると共に操作方法が異なる操作領域である。具体的には、第１の操作領域は、なぞり操作を受け付けるように構成されている。また第２の操作領域は、なぞり操作とは異なるタッチ操作を受け付けるように構成されている。 The menu area 301 (first operation area) and the direct area 302 (second operation area) are operation areas that are adjacent to each other and have different operation methods. Specifically, the first operation area is configured to receive a tracing operation. The second operation area is configured to receive a touch operation different from the drag operation.
なお本実施の形態の入力装置１は、第１の操作領域としてメニュー領域３０１、第２の操作領域としてダイレクト領域３０２が対応していたがこれに限定されず、少なくとも１つの第１の操作領域と、少なくとも１つの第２の操作領域と、が隣接して並ぶように構成されても良い。つまり入力装置１は、第１の操作領域の周囲に複数の第２の操作領域が配置されても良いし、第１の操作領域と第２の操作領域が交互に並んで配置されても良い。 The input device 1 of the present embodiment corresponds to the menu area 301 as the first operation area and the direct area 302 as the second operation area, but is not limited to this, and at least one first operation area. And at least one second operation area may be arranged adjacent to each other. That is, in the input device 1, a plurality of second operation areas may be arranged around the first operation area, or the first operation area and the second operation area may be arranged alternately side by side. ..
本実施の形態の入力装置１は、例えば、図２Ｂに示すように、ステアリング８５の左右にタッチパッド２ａ及びタッチパッド２ｂを備えている。このタッチパッド２ａ及びタッチパッド２ｂは、それぞれがタッチパネル３及びスイッチ４を有する。このタッチパッド２ａ及びタッチパッド２ｂは、異なる機能が割り付けられている。 The input device 1 of the present embodiment includes, for example, a touch pad 2a and a touch pad 2b on the left and right of the steering wheel 85, as shown in FIG. 2B. Each of the touch pad 2a and the touch pad 2b has a touch panel 3 and a switch 4. Different functions are assigned to the touch pad 2a and the touch pad 2b.
タッチパッド２ａ及びタッチパッド２ｂは、例えば、図２Ｂに示すように、ステアリング８５の左右のスポーク部（スポーク部８５１及びスポーク部８５２）に配置されている。このスポーク部８５１及びスポーク部８５２は、警報機やエアバッグなどが配置された基部８５０と、ユーザが把持するリング部８５３と、を連結するものである。またスポーク部８５１及びスポーク部８５２は、例えば、図２Ｂに示すように、車両８が直進する状態のステアリング位置において略水平に伸びて基部８５０とリング部８５３とを連結している。 The touch pad 2a and the touch pad 2b are arranged on the left and right spokes (spokes 851 and 852) of the steering 85, for example, as shown in FIG. 2B. The spoke portion 851 and the spoke portion 852 connect the base portion 850 on which an alarm device, an airbag, and the like are arranged and the ring portion 853 held by the user. Further, as shown in FIG. 2B, for example, the spoke portion 851 and the spoke portion 852 extend substantially horizontally and connect the base portion 850 and the ring portion 853 at the steering position where the vehicle 8 advances straight.
タッチパッド２ａ及びタッチパッド２ｂは、ユーザがリング部８５３とスポーク部８５１及びスポーク部８５２との連結部分周辺を把持した状態で操作可能となっている。なお入力装置１は、タッチパッド２ａ及びタッチパッド２ｂのいずれか一方を備える構成であっても良い。 The touch pad 2a and the touch pad 2b can be operated by the user while holding the periphery of the connecting portion between the ring portion 853 and the spoke portions 851 and 852. The input device 1 may be configured to include either the touch pad 2a or the touch pad 2b.
タッチパッド２ａ及びタッチパッド２ｂに割り付けられた機能は、ヘッドアップディスプレイ８７によって投影領域８７０に表示される。ヘッドアップディスプレイ８７は、一例として、図２Ａに示すように、投影領域８７０を第１の表示領域８７１～第３の表示領域８７３に分けて表示を行う。なお図２Ａは、タッチパッド２ａのメニュー領域３０１を操作した際の投影領域８７０を示している。 The functions assigned to the touchpad 2a and the touchpad 2b are displayed in the projection area 870 by the head-up display 87. As an example, the head-up display 87 divides the projection area 870 into a first display area 871 to a third display area 873 for display as shown in FIG. 2A. Note that FIG. 2A shows a projection area 870 when the menu area 301 of the touchpad 2a is operated.
第１の表示領域８７１は、操作されたタッチパッドのメニュー領域３０１に割り付けられた機能を示すアイコン群８７５が表示される領域である。図２Ａは、ステアリング８５の左側に配置されたタッチパッド２ａを操作した際の図面であるので、第１の表示領域８７１が中央左側に表示されている。 The first display area 871 is an area in which an icon group 875 indicating the functions assigned to the menu area 301 of the operated touch pad is displayed. Since FIG. 2A is a view when the touch pad 2a arranged on the left side of the steering wheel 85 is operated, the first display area 871 is displayed on the left side in the center.
第２の表示領域８７２は、操作されたタッチパッドのダイレクト領域３０２に割り付けられた機能を示すアイコン群８７６が表示される領域である。図２Ａは、タッチパッド２ａを操作した際の図面であるので、第２の表示領域８７２が左側に表示されている。 The second display area 872 is an area in which an icon group 876 indicating the function assigned to the direct area 302 of the operated touch pad is displayed. Since FIG. 2A is a diagram when the touch pad 2a is operated, the second display area 872 is displayed on the left side.
第３の表示領域８７３は、操作されていないタッチパッドの機能を示すアイコン群８７７などが表示される領域である。つまりアイコン群８７７は、第１の表示領域８７１及び第２の表示領域８７２に表示されたアイコン群８７５及びアイコン群８７６の機能とは異なる機能を示す複数のアイコンから構成されている。図２Ａは、タッチパッド２ａを操作した際の図面であるので、第３の表示領域８７３が右側に表示されている。 The third display area 873 is an area in which an icon group 877 or the like indicating the function of the touch pad that has not been operated is displayed. That is, the icon group 877 is composed of a plurality of icons having functions different from the functions of the icon group 875 and the icon group 876 displayed in the first display area 871 and the second display area 872. Since FIG. 2A is a diagram when the touch pad 2a is operated, the third display area 873 is displayed on the right side.
なお第１の表示領域８７１～第３の表示領域８７３は、右側のタッチパッド２ｂが操作された場合、図２Ａの紙面左側から第３の表示領域８７３、第１の表示領域８７１及び第２の表示領域８７２の順で投影領域８７０に表示される。 Note that the first display region 871 to the third display region 873 are the third display region 873, the first display region 871, and the second display region 873 from the left side of the paper surface of FIG. 2A when the right touchpad 2b is operated. It is displayed in the projection area 870 in the order of the display area 872.

タッチパッド２ａは、一例として、図３Ａに示すように、操作面３０ａが上底よりも下底が長い台形形状を有している。またタッチパッド２ａは、周囲にリブ３１が設けられている。このタッチパッド２ｂは、例えば、タッチパッド２ａの線対称形状となっている。なおタッチパッド２ａ及びタッチパッド２ｂの形状は、これに限定されない。以下では、主にタッチパッド２ａについて説明する。 As shown in FIG. 3A, the touch pad 2a has, for example, a trapezoidal shape in which the operation surface 30a has a lower bottom longer than an upper bottom. Further, the touch pad 2a is provided with ribs 31 around it. The touch pad 2b has, for example, a line-symmetrical shape of the touch pad 2a. The shapes of the touch pad 2a and the touch pad 2b are not limited to this. Hereinafter, the touch pad 2a will be mainly described.
タッチパネル３は、操作面３０ａに対するタッチ操作及びなぞり操作を検出するように構成されている。タッチパネル３は、例えば、抵抗膜方式や静電容量方式などのタッチパネルを用いることが可能である。本実施の形態のタッチパネル３は、一例として、タッチパネル３になされたプッシュ操作をスイッチ４によって検出することから静電容量方式のタッチパネルを用いている。 The touch panel 3 is configured to detect a touch operation and a tracing operation on the operation surface 30a. As the touch panel 3, for example, a touch panel of a resistance film type or a capacitance type can be used. As an example, the touch panel 3 of the present embodiment uses a capacitance type touch panel because a push operation made on the touch panel 3 is detected by the switch 4.
またタッチパネル３は、複数の駆動電極と複数の検出電極とが絶縁を保ちながら交差するように配置されている。この駆動電極と検出電極とは、例えば、ガラスやポリカーボネートなどからなる部材に取り付けられている。本実施の形態のタッチパネル３は、一例として、操作面３０ａに対してプッシュ操作がなされるので、プッシュ操作によって撓み難い、ポリカーボネートのような硬質な樹脂を用いて構成されている。 Further, the touch panel 3 is arranged so that the plurality of drive electrodes and the plurality of detection electrodes intersect each other while maintaining insulation. The drive electrode and the detection electrode are attached to a member made of, for example, glass or polycarbonate. As an example, the touch panel 3 of the present embodiment is configured by using a hard resin such as polycarbonate, which is hard to bend by the push operation because the push operation is performed on the operation surface 30a.
タッチパネル３は、この複数の駆動電極と複数の検出電極の全ての組み合わせを走査して組み合わせごとの静電容量を読み出し、この一周期分の静電容量の情報を検出情報として制御装置５に出力する。なおタッチパッド２ａのタッチパネル３は、検出情報Ｓ１を制御装置５に周期的に出力する。またタッチパッド２ｂのタッチパネル３は、検出情報Ｓ３を制御装置５に周期的に出力する。 The touch panel 3 scans all combinations of the plurality of drive electrodes and the plurality of detection electrodes, reads out the electrostatic capacity for each combination, and outputs the information of the electrostatic capacity for one cycle to the control device 5 as detection information. To do. Incidentally panel 3 of the touch pad 2a periodically outputs the detection information S 1 to the control device 5. The touch panel 3 of the touch pad 2b periodically outputs the detection information S 3 to the control device 5.
タッチパネル３は、例えば、図３Ｂに示すように、開口１１から操作面３０ａが露出するように筐体１０に取り付けられている。この筐体１０は、例えば、上面が開口１１となった箱形状を有している。開口１１は、例えば、図３Ｂに示すように、筐体１０の上部の内側面１２から内側に向かって突出する突出部１３によって形成されている。この突出部１３の下面１３０は、タッチパネル３のリブ３１の上面３１０と対向している。 The touch panel 3 is attached to the housing 10 so that the operation surface 30a is exposed from the opening 11 as shown in FIG. 3B, for example. The housing 10 has, for example, a box shape having an opening 11 on the upper surface. The opening 11 is formed by, for example, as shown in FIG. 3B, a protruding portion 13 that protrudes inward from the inner side surface 12 of the upper portion of the housing 10. The lower surface 130 of the protruding portion 13 faces the upper surface 310 of the rib 31 of the touch panel 3.
タッチパネル３は、例えば、図３Ａ及び図３Ｂに示すように、裏面３０ｂと筐体１０の底面１４との間に、スイッチ４と第１の弾性体１５～第４の弾性体１８とが配置されている。このスイッチ４と第１の弾性体１５～第４の弾性体１８とは、タッチパネル３に弾性力を付加し、タッチパネル３のリブ３１の上面３１０を筐体１０の突出部１３の下面１３０に押し付けている。このリブ３１と突出部１３との接触によって、タッチパネル３は、筐体１０から抜けないようになっている。 In the touch panel 3, for example, as shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, the switch 4 and the first elastic body 15 to the fourth elastic body 18 are arranged between the back surface 30b and the bottom surface 14 of the housing 10. ing. The switch 4 and the first elastic body 15 to the fourth elastic body 18 apply an elastic force to the touch panel 3, and press the upper surface 310 of the rib 31 of the touch panel 3 against the lower surface 130 of the protrusion 13 of the housing 10. ing. The touch panel 3 is prevented from coming off the housing 10 by the contact between the rib 31 and the protruding portion 13.
タッチパネル３の操作面３０ａは、例えば、図３Ａの紙面において上底と下底を結ぶ点線によってメニュー領域３０１とダイレクト領域３０２とに分かれている。なお図３Ａに示す点線は、説明のために付された線であって実際に付された線ではない。 The operation surface 30a of the touch panel 3 is divided into a menu area 301 and a direct area 302 by a dotted line connecting the upper bottom and the lower bottom on the paper surface of FIG. 3A, for example. Note that the dotted line shown in FIG. 3A is a line added for the purpose of explanation, and is not a line actually added.
メニュー領域３０１は、例えば、図４Ａ及び図４Ｂに示すように、投影領域８７０の第１の表示領域８７１に表示されたメニューを上下にスクロールさせることができる領域である。このメニュー領域３０１には、相対座標系が設定されている。なおメニュー領域３０１は、メニューなどのスクロールに限定されず、カーソルなどの移動を可能とされても良い。 The menu area 301 is an area in which the menu displayed in the first display area 871 of the projection area 870 can be scrolled up and down, for example, as shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B. A relative coordinate system is set in this menu area 301. Note that the menu area 301 is not limited to scrolling a menu or the like, and a cursor or the like may be movable.
図４Ａでは、一例として、メニューの一例として音楽に関する機能が割り付けられたアイコン８７５ａ、携帯電話に関する機能が割り付けられたアイコン８７５ｂ、及び音声認識の機能が割り付けられたアイコン８７５ｃが図示されている。 In FIG. 4A, as an example, an icon 875a to which a function related to music is assigned, an icon 875b to which a function related to a mobile phone is assigned, and an icon 875c to which a function of voice recognition is assigned are illustrated as an example of a menu.
ユーザは、メニュー領域３０１に対する上下方向のなぞり操作によって表示されているアイコン以外のアイコンを表示させることができる。なおメニューとして表示されるアイコンは、図４Ａに示すアイコンに限定されず、他の機能が割り付けられたアイコンでも良い。 The user can display icons other than the icons displayed by the vertical drag operation on the menu area 301. The icon displayed as a menu is not limited to the icon shown in FIG. 4A, and may be an icon to which other functions are assigned.
ユーザは、メニュー領域３０１に対して上方向になぞり操作を行うことによって、アイコン８７５ｂを基準とするとアイコン８７５ｂからアイコン８７５ａを選択することができる。またユーザは、メニュー領域３０１に対して下方向になぞり操作を行うことによって、アイコン８７５ｂからアイコン８７５ｃを選択することができる。そしてユーザは、アイコン８７５ａやアイコン８７５ｃが選択された状態からさらに上方向や下方向になぞり操作を行うと、表示されていないアイコンを選択することができる。 The user can select an icon 875a from the icons 875b with the icon 875b as a reference by performing an upward drag operation on the menu area 301. Further, the user can select the icon 875c from the icons 875b by performing a downward drag operation on the menu area 301. Then, the user can select an icon that is not displayed by performing a tracing operation in the upward or downward direction from the state in which the icon 875a or the icon 875c is selected.
この図４Ａにおいて他のアイコンより大きく表示されたアイコン８７５ａは、選択状態であることを示している。なお選択の決定は、タッチパネル３に対するプッシュ操作によって行われる。 The icon 875a displayed larger than the other icons in FIG. 4A indicates that it is in the selected state. The selection is determined by a push operation on the touch panel 3.
ダイレクト領域３０２は、例えば、図５Ａ及び図５Ｂに示すように、投影領域８７０の第２の表示領域８７２に表示されたアイコン８７６ａ～アイコン８７６ｃに対応する第１のタッチ領域３０２ａ～第３のタッチ領域３０２ｃを有している。ユーザは、ダイレクト領域３０２の第１のタッチ領域３０２ａ～第３のタッチ領域３０２ｃのいずれかにタッチ操作を行うことでアイコンを選択することができる。 The direct area 302 is, for example, as shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B, the first touch area 302a to the third touch area corresponding to the icons 876a to 876c displayed in the second display area 872 of the projection area 870. It has a region 302c. The user can select an icon by performing a touch operation on any of the first touch area 302a to the third touch area 302c of the direct area 302.
図５Ａでは、一例として、表示された画面を直前の画面に戻す機能が割り付けられたアイコン８７６ａ、音量を上げる機能が割り付けられたアイコン８７６ｂ、及び音量を下げる機能が割り付けられたアイコン８７６ｃが図示されている。なおタッチ領域の数や割り付けられる機能は、これに限定されない。 In FIG. 5A, as an example, an icon 876a to which a function of returning the displayed screen to the previous screen is assigned, an icon 876b to which a function of increasing the volume is assigned, and an icon 876c to which a function of reducing the volume are assigned are illustrated. ing. The number of touch areas and the functions to be assigned are not limited to this.
そして第１のタッチ領域３０２ａ～第３のタッチ領域３０２ｃには、アイコン８７６ａ～アイコン８７６ｃに応じた画像が印刷されている。 Images corresponding to the icons 876a to 876c are printed on the first touch area 302a to the third touch area 302c.
ユーザは、ダイレクト領域３０２の第１のタッチ領域３０２ａ～第３のタッチ領域３０２ｃに対するタッチ操作によってアイコンを選択することができる。図５Ａ及び図５Ｂは、第２のタッチ領域３０２ｂにタッチ操作がなされ、第２のタッチ領域３０２ｂに対応するアイコン８７６ｂが拡大表示されると共に現在の音量の数値（２７）が併記されている状態を示している。 The user can select an icon by a touch operation on the first touch area 302a to the third touch area 302c of the direct area 302. 5A and 5B, a state where a touch operation is performed on the second touch area 302b, an icon 876b corresponding to the second touch area 302b is enlarged and displayed, and a numerical value (27) of the current volume is also shown. Is shown.
ユーザは、タッチパネル３に対してプッシュ操作を行うことによって選択の決定を行うことができる。ユーザが音量を上げようと第２のタッチ領域３０２ｂにタッチ操作を行うと、例えば、図５Ａに示すように、アイコン８７６ｂが拡大表示されると共に現在の音量が表示される。そしてユーザは、所望の音量となるように、第２のタッチ領域３０２ｂにプッシュ操作を行うと、プッシュ操作の回数に応じて音量が上昇する。図６Ａでは、音量が「２７」から「２９」に上がったことを示している。また図６Ａに示すアイコン８７６ｂは、例えば、プッシュ操作を受け付けた表示になっている。 The user can make a selection decision by performing a push operation on the touch panel 3. When the user touches the second touch area 302b to increase the volume, for example, as shown in FIG. 5A, the icon 876b is enlarged and the current volume is displayed. Then, when the user performs a push operation on the second touch area 302b so as to obtain a desired volume, the volume increases according to the number of push operations. FIG. 6A shows that the volume has risen from "27" to "29". The icon 876b shown in FIG. 6A is, for example, a display in which a push operation has been accepted.
（スイッチ４の構成）
スイッチ４は、例えば、図３Ａ及び図３Ｂに示すように、操作面３０ａの中央付近に配置されている。このスイッチ４は、タッチパネル３の押し下げ、つまり操作面３０ａになされたプッシュ操作を検出するマイクロスイッチである。 (Configuration of switch 4)
The switch 4 is arranged near the center of the operation surface 30a, for example, as shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B. The switch 4 is a micro switch that detects pressing of the touch panel 3, that is, a push operation performed on the operation surface 30a.
スイッチ４は、タッチパネル３と筐体１０とが接触するように弾性力を付加している。またスイッチ４は、初期荷重（プリロード）が付加されている。 The switch 4 applies an elastic force so that the touch panel 3 and the housing 10 come into contact with each other. Further, the switch 4 is provided with an initial load (preload).
スイッチ４は、プッシュ操作によってボタン４０が押し込まれてオン状態となり、プッシュ操作が終了するとタッチパネル３の上昇と共にボタン４０が元の位置に戻ってオフ状態となるように構成されている。なおスイッチ４は、マイクロスイッチのような機械式スイッチに限定されず、磁気センサなどを用いた非接触スイッチやプッシュ操作に伴う荷重を検出することでプッシュ操作を検出する荷重センサなどであっても良い。 The switch 4 is configured so that the button 40 is pushed in by a push operation to be in an on state, and when the push operation is completed, the button 40 returns to its original position and is in an off state as the touch panel 3 moves up. The switch 4 is not limited to a mechanical switch such as a micro switch, and may be a non-contact switch using a magnetic sensor or a load sensor that detects a push operation by detecting a load associated with the push operation. good.
スイッチ４は、オン状態となるとスイッチ信号を制御装置５に出力する。なおタッチパッド２ａのスイッチ４は、スイッチ信号Ｓ２を制御装置５に出力する。またタッチパッド２ｂのスイッチ４は、スイッチ信号Ｓ４を制御装置５に出力する。 When the switch 4 is turned on, it outputs a switch signal to the control device 5. The switch 4 of the touch pad 2a outputs the switch signal S 2 to the control device 5. Further, the switch 4 of the touch pad 2b outputs the switch signal S 4 to the control device 5.
（第１の弾性体１５～第４の弾性体１８の構成）
第１の弾性体１５～第４の弾性体１８は、例えば、スポンジ、コイルばね、ゴムなどを用いることができる。本実施の形態の第１の弾性体１５～第４の弾性体１８は、一例として、コイルばねである。 (Structure of 1st elastic body 15 to 4th elastic body 18)
For the first elastic body 15 to the fourth elastic body 18, for example, a sponge, a coil spring, rubber, or the like can be used. The first elastic body 15 to the fourth elastic body 18 of the present embodiment are coil springs as an example.
第１の弾性体１５～第４の弾性体１８は、タッチパネル３の四隅に配置されている。この第１の弾性体１５～第４の弾性体１８は、タッチパネル３を支持すると共にタッチパネル３にプッシュ操作方向と逆向きの弾性力を付加している。 The first elastic body 15 to the fourth elastic body 18 are arranged at the four corners of the touch panel 3. The first elastic body 15 to the fourth elastic body 18 support the touch panel 3 and apply an elastic force to the touch panel 3 in the direction opposite to the push operation direction.
（制御装置５の構成）
図７Ａは、メニュー領域からダイレクト領域に亘るなぞり操作の軌跡を示す。図７Ｂにおいて上段は、メニュー領域において検出された操作のタイミングを示し、中段及び下段は、ダイレクト領域において検出された操作のタイミングを示す。この図７Ｂの上段、中段及び下段は、横軸が時間である。 (Configuration of control device 5)
FIG. 7A shows the trajectory of the tracing operation from the menu area to the direct area. In FIG. 7B, the upper row shows the timing of the operation detected in the menu area, and the middle row and the lower row show the timing of the operation detected in the direct area. In the upper, middle and lower stages of FIG. 7B, the horizontal axis is time.
制御装置５の制御部５０は、例えば、記憶されたプログラムに従って、取得したデータに演算、加工などを行うＣＰＵ（Central Processing Unit）、半導体メモリであるＲＡＭ（Random Access Memory）及びＲＯＭ（Read Only Memory）５１などから構成されるマイクロコンピュータである。このＲＯＭ５１には、例えば、制御部５０が動作するためのプログラムとしきい値情報５１０が格納されている。ＲＡＭは、例えば、一時的に演算結果などを格納する記憶領域として用いられる。また制御部５０は、その内部にクロック信号を生成する手段を有し、このクロック信号に基づいて動作を行う。 The control unit 50 of the control device 5 includes, for example, a CPU (Central Processing Unit) that performs calculation and processing on the acquired data according to a stored program, a RAM (Random Access Memory) that is a semiconductor memory, and a ROM (Read Only Memory). ) 51 and the like. The ROM 51 stores, for example, a program for operating the control unit 50 and threshold value information 510. The RAM is used, for example, as a storage area for temporarily storing a calculation result or the like. The control unit 50 also has a means for generating a clock signal therein, and operates based on this clock signal.
制御部５０は、メニュー領域３０１に対しては相対座標系としてなされた操作を処理し、ダイレクト領域３０２に対しては絶対座標系としてなされた操作を処理するように構成されている。 The control unit 50 is configured to process an operation performed as a relative coordinate system on the menu area 301 and an operation performed as an absolute coordinate system on the direct area 302.
上述のように、制御部５０は、なぞり操作によってメニューをスクロールさせるので、メニュー領域３０１においては相対座標系を設定する。また制御部５０は、ダイレクト領域３０２に予め設定された第１のタッチ領域３０２ａ～第３のタッチ領域３０２ｃのいずれかになされたタッチ操作を受け付けるので、ダイレクト領域３０２においては絶対座標系を設定する。 As described above, since the control unit 50 scrolls the menu by the tracing operation, the relative coordinate system is set in the menu area 301. Further, since the control unit 50 accepts a touch operation performed on any one of the first touch area 302a to the third touch area 302c set in advance in the direct area 302, the absolute coordinate system is set in the direct area 302. ..
従って制御部５０は、メニュー領域３０１に対してはなされた操作に応じて複数の機能を切り替えて選択可能とし、ダイレクト領域３０２に対しては予め割り付けられた機能のみを選択可能とするように構成されている。 Therefore, the control unit 50 is configured so that a plurality of functions can be switched and selected according to the operation performed on the menu area 301, and only the functions assigned in advance can be selected on the direct area 302. Has been done.
なお変形例として入力装置１は、なぞり操作が可能な第１の操作領域を有する第１の操作装置と、タッチ操作が可能な第２の操作領域を有する第２の操作装置と、を並んで配置することで構成されても良い。 As a modification, the input device 1 has a first operation device having a first operation area capable of tracing operation and a second operation device having a second operation area capable of touch operation side by side. It may be configured by arranging.
メニュー領域３０１では、なぞり操作が行われるので、例えば、図７Ａに矢印で示すように、なぞり操作がメニュー領域３０１からダイレクト領域３０２に及んだ場合、意図せずダイレクト領域３０２に対する操作が受け付けられる問題がある。ダイレクト領域３０２に対する操作が受け付けられた場合、例えば、図５Ａに示すように、なぞり操作が及んだタッチ領域に応じたアイコンが意図せず拡大表示されるので、ユーザにとって煩わしく、気が散る原因となる。 Since the tracing operation is performed in the menu area 301, for example, when the tracing operation extends from the menu area 301 to the direct area 302 as shown by an arrow in FIG. 7A, the operation on the direct area 302 is unintentionally accepted. There's a problem. When an operation on the direct area 302 is accepted, for example, as shown in FIG. 5A, an icon corresponding to the touch area on which the drag operation is performed is unintentionally enlarged and displayed, which is a cause for bother and distraction for the user. It becomes.
そこで制御部５０は、なぞり操作がメニュー領域３０１からダイレクト領域３０２に及び、かつ予め定められた条件が満たされた場合、ダイレクト領域３０２の操作を受け付けないように構成されている。 Therefore, the control unit 50 is configured not to accept the operation of the direct area 302 when the tracing operation extends from the menu area 301 to the direct area 302 and a predetermined condition is satisfied.
本実施の形態の制御部５０は、メニュー領域３０１に対する操作とダイレクト領域３０２に対する操作の時間間隔Ｔｄ－ｍが予め定められた期間Ｔ以内である場合、意図しない操作であると判定するように構成されている。この予め定められた期間Ｔは、ＲＯＭ５１に記憶されたしきい値情報５１０に含まれている。時間間隔Ｔｄ－ｍは、ダイレクト領域３０２において操作が検出された開始時間Ｔｄと、メニュー領域３０１において操作が検出されなくなった終了時間Ｔｍと、の差（＝Ｔｄ－Ｔｍ）である。 When the time interval T dm between the operation on the menu area 301 and the operation on the direct area 302 is within a predetermined period T, the control unit 50 according to the present embodiment determines that the operation is an unintended operation. It is configured. This predetermined period T is included in the threshold value information 510 stored in the ROM 51. The time interval T dm is the difference (=T d −T m ) between the start time T d at which the operation is detected in the direct area 302 and the end time T m at which the operation is not detected in the menu area 301. is there.
図７Ｂは、メニュー領域３０１及びダイレクト領域３０２の操作のタイミングを示している。上段では、時間ｔ１～時間ｔ２において操作がメニュー領域３０１で検出されている。中段では、時間ｔ３～時間ｔ４において操作がダイレクト領域３０２で検出されている。下段では、時間ｔ５～時間ｔ６において操作がダイレクト領域３０２で検出されている。 FIG. 7B shows the timing of operations in the menu area 301 and the direct area 302. In the upper part, the operation at the time t 1 ~ time t 2 is detected in the menu area 301. In the middle, the operation at time t 3 ~ time t 4 is detected by the direct area 302. In the lower part, the operation at t 6 time t 5 ~ time is detected by the direct area 302.
制御部５０は、例えば、図７Ｂの上段及び中段に示すように、メニュー領域３０１における操作が終了した時間ｔ２（＝Ｔｍ）から時間の測定を行う。この時間の測定は、予め定められた期間Ｔの到来、及びダイレクト領域３０２に対する操作の開始時間Ｔｄの到来のうち、早い方が訪れると終了する。 The control unit 50 measures time from the time t 2 (=T m ) at which the operation in the menu area 301 ends, as shown in the upper and middle rows of FIG. 7B, for example. The measurement of this time ends when the earlier of the arrival of the predetermined period T and the start time T d of the operation for the direct region 302, whichever comes first.
制御部５０は、例えば、図７Ｂの上段及び中段に示すように、先に予め定められた期間Ｔが到来した場合、Ｔ１＜Ｔｄ－ｍとなるので、ダイレクト領域３０２においてなされた操作を受け付ける。 For example, as shown in the upper and middle rows of FIG. 7B, when the predetermined period T has arrived, the control unit 50 satisfies T 1 <T dm, so that the operation performed in the direct area 302 is performed. Accept.
また制御部５０は、例えば、図７Ｂの上段及び下段に示すように、先に開始時間Ｔｄ（時間ｔ５）が到来した場合、Ｔｄ－ｍ≦Ｔ１となるので、意図しない操作が検出されたとしてダイレクト領域３０２においてなされた操作を受け付けない。つまりメニュー領域３０１の操作とダイレクト領域３０２の操作とが短い間隔で検出された場合、制御部５０は、意図しない操作が検出されたと判定してダイレクト領域３０２に対する操作を受け付けない。 Further, for example, as shown in the upper and lower rows of FIG. 7B, when the start time T d (time t 5 ) comes first, the control unit 50 satisfies T dm ≦T 1 , so that an unintended operation is performed. The operation performed in the direct area 302 is not accepted as being detected. That is, when an operation on the menu area 301 and an operation on the direct area 302 are detected at short intervals, the control unit 50 determines that an unintended operation is detected and does not accept the operation on the direct area 302.
制御部５０は、メニュー領域３０１に対する操作が検出された場合、検出した操作の情報であるメニュー操作情報Ｓ５を接続された電子機器に出力する。また制御部５０は、ダイレクト領域３０２に対する操作が検出された場合、操作が検出されたタッチ領域の情報であるダイレクト操作情報Ｓ６を接続された電子機器に出力する。 When the operation on the menu area 301 is detected, the control unit 50 outputs the menu operation information S 5 which is information on the detected operation to the connected electronic device. Further, when the operation on the direct area 302 is detected, the control unit 50 outputs the direct operation information S 6 that is the information of the touch area where the operation is detected to the connected electronic device.
以下では、メニュー領域３０１で検出された操作後のダイレクト領域３０２に対する操作の受け付けを判定する動作の一例について図８のフローチャートに従って説明する。なお以下では、主に、左側のタッチパッド２ａのメニュー領域３０１に対する操作が検出された後の動作について説明する。 Hereinafter, an example of an operation of determining acceptance of an operation for the direct area 302 after the operation detected in the menu area 301 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 8. In the following, the operation after the operation on the menu area 301 of the left touch pad 2a is detected will be mainly described.
（動作）
入力装置１の制御部５０は、左右のタッチパネル３から出力される検出情報Ｓ１及び検出情報Ｓ３に基づいてメニュー領域３０１に対する操作が検出された場合、検出された操作に基づくメニュー操作情報Ｓ５を出力する。そして制御部５０は、操作が終了した場合（Ｓｔｅｐ１）、時間の測定を開始する（Ｓｔｅｐ２）。 (motion)
When an operation on the menu area 301 is detected based on the detection information S 1 and the detection information S 3 output from the left and right touch panels 3, the control unit 50 of the input device 1 detects the menu operation information S based on the detected operation. 5 is output. Then, when the operation is completed (Step 1), the control unit 50 starts measuring time (Step 2).
制御部５０は、終了時間Ｔｍから測定した時間間隔が予め定められた期間Ｔを超えた場合（Ｓｔｅｐ３：Ｙｅｓ）、測定した時間を破棄し（Ｓｔｅｐ４）する。そして制御部５０は、メニュー領域３０１及びダイレクト領域３０２に対する操作を受け付け可能とし（Ｓｔｅｐ５）、動作を終了する。 When the controller 50 exceeds the period T in which the time interval measured from the end time T m is predetermined (Step3: Yes), to discard the measured time (Step4). Then, the control unit 50 can accept an operation on the menu area 301 and the direct area 302 (Step 5), and ends the operation.
ここでステップ３において制御部５０は、予め定められた期間Ｔが到来する前に（Ｓｔｅｐ３：Ｎｏ）、ダイレクト領域３０２に操作が検出された場合（Ｓｔｅｐ６：Ｙｅｓ）、Ｔｄ－ｍ≦Ｔを満足するので、意図しない操作と判定してダイレクト領域３０２に対する操作を受け付けない（Ｓｔｅｐ７）。 Here, the control unit 50 in Step 3, before the period T of predetermined arrives (Step3: No), if the operation is detected in the direct area 302 (Step6: Yes), the T d-m ≦ T Since it is satisfied, it is determined as an unintended operation and the operation on the direct area 302 is not accepted (Step 7).
またステップ６において制御部５０は、メニュー領域３０１に対して操作が検出された場合（Ｓｔｅｐ６：Ｎｏ）、操作を受け付ける（Ｓｔｅｐ８）。 In step 6, when the operation is detected on the menu area 301 (Step 6: No), the control unit 50 accepts the operation (Step 8).
（第１の実施の形態の効果）
本実施の形態に係る入力装置１は、意図しない操作の受け付けを抑制することができる。具体的には、入力装置１は、ユーザのなぞり操作がメニュー領域３０１からダイレクト領域３０２に及んだ際、ダイレクト領域３０２に対する操作が意図しない操作であるか否かの判定を行う。そして入力装置１は、意図しない操作であると判定した場合、ダイレクト領域３０２に対する操作を受け付けないので、この構成を採用しない場合と比べて、意図しない操作の受け付けを抑制することができる。 (Effect of the first embodiment)
The input device 1 according to the present embodiment can suppress the acceptance of unintended operations. Specifically, when the user's tracing operation extends from the menu area 301 to the direct area 302, the input device 1 determines whether the operation on the direct area 302 is an unintended operation. When the input device 1 determines that the operation is an unintended operation, it does not accept the operation on the direct area 302, so that it is possible to suppress the acceptance of the unintended operation as compared with the case where this configuration is not adopted.
入力装置１は、メニュー領域３０１に対する操作の検出が終了した終了時間Ｔｍとダイレクト領域３０２に対する操作の検出が開始された開始時間Ｔｄの時間間隔Ｔｄ－ｍが予め定められた期間Ｔ以内であった場合、ダイレクト領域３０２に対する操作が意図しない操作であると判定する。従って入力装置１は、メニュー領域３０１になされたなぞり操作の後に意図せずダイレクト領域３０２に触れたような場合であっても、意図しない操作であると判定することができる。 In the input device 1, the time interval T dm between the end time T m when the detection of the operation on the menu area 301 is ended and the start time T d when the detection of the operation on the direct area 302 is started is within a predetermined period T. If it is, it is determined that the operation on the direct area 302 is an unintended operation. Therefore, the input device 1 can determine that the operation is an unintended operation even when the direct area 302 is unintentionally touched after the tracing operation made on the menu area 301.
メニュー領域３０１は、複数の機能を切り替えて選択可能とするため、階層式のＧＵＩを操作し易い相対座標系が設定されている。またダイレクト領域３０２は、予め割り付けられた機能のみを選択可能とするため、タッチ操作によって選択し易い絶対座標系が設定されている。従って入力装置１は、いずれか一方の座標系が設定される場合と比べて、操作性が良い。 In the menu area 301, a plurality of functions are switched and selectable, so that a relative coordinate system in which a hierarchical GUI is easily operated is set. Further, in the direct area 302, since only the functions assigned in advance can be selected, an absolute coordinate system that is easy to select by a touch operation is set. Therefore, the input device 1 has better operability as compared with the case where either one of the coordinate systems is set.
入力装置１は、メニュー領域３０１及びダイレクト領域３０２によって複数の機能を操作することができるので、複数の機能に応じた複数のスイッチを配置する場合と比べて、省スペースである。 Since the input device 1 can operate a plurality of functions by the menu area 301 and the direct area 302, it is space-saving as compared with the case where a plurality of switches corresponding to the plurality of functions are arranged.
入力装置１は、意図しない操作を受け付けないので、ダイレクト領域３０２に対する意図しない操作が検出されて第２の表示領域８７２のアイコンが拡大されるような煩わしさが抑制される。 Since the input device 1 does not accept an unintended operation, the annoyance of detecting an unintended operation on the direct area 302 and enlarging the icon of the second display area 872 is suppressed.
入力装置１は、タッチパッド２ａ及びタッチパッド２ｂに対するプッシュ操作をスイッチによって検出することができるので、スイッチを備えない場合と比べて、選択の決定が容易となり、操作性が良くなる。 Since the input device 1 can detect the push operation on the touch pad 2a and the touch pad 2b by the switch, the selection can be easily determined and the operability is improved as compared with the case where the switch is not provided.
［第２の実施の形態］
第２の実施の形態は、操作の軌跡に基づいて意図しない操作であるか否かを判定する点で第１の実施の形態と異なっている。 [Second Embodiment]
The second embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that it is determined whether or not the operation is an unintended operation based on the trajectory of the operation.
なお以下に記載する実施の形態において、第１の実施の形態と同じ機能及び構成を有する部分は、第１の実施の形態と同じ符号を付し、その説明は省略するものとする。 In the embodiments described below, parts having the same functions and configurations as those in the first embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals as those in the first embodiment, and the description thereof will be omitted.
制御部５０は、メニュー領域３０１に対する操作の軌跡とダイレクト領域３０２に対する操作の軌跡とが連続した軌跡であると判定した場合、意図しない操作であると判定するように構成されている。 The control unit 50 is configured to determine that it is an unintended operation when it is determined that the trajectory of the operation on the menu area 301 and the trajectory of the operation on the direct area 302 are continuous.
図９Ａ及び図９Ｂは、ダイレクト領域３０２に対する操作が受け付けられる一例を示している。図９Ａでは、メニュー領域３０１とダイレクト領域３０２の境界３０３を挟んで軌跡３０４と軌跡３０５とが分かれている。制御部５０は、境界３０３を挟んで軌跡が分かれて検出された場合、意図した操作がなされたと判定してダイレクト領域３０２に対する操作を受け付ける。 9A and 9B show an example in which an operation on the direct area 302 is accepted. In FIG. 9A, the locus 304 and the locus 305 are separated so as to sandwich the boundary 303 between the menu area 301 and the direct area 302. When the loci are separated with the boundary 303 interposed therebetween, the control unit 50 determines that the intended operation is performed and accepts the operation on the direct area 302.
図９Ｂは、ユーザがメニュー領域３０１に対してなぞり操作を行った後、ダイレクト領域３０２に対してタッチ操作を行った場合を示している。軌跡３０６は、なぞり操作の軌跡を示している。軌跡３０７は、タッチ操作の軌跡を示している。制御部５０は、なぞり操作の軌跡が分かれている場合と同様に、境界３０３を挟んで軌跡が分かれているとして意図した操作がなされたと判定し、ダイレクト領域３０２に対する操作を受け付ける。 FIG. 9B shows a case where the user performs a tracing operation on the menu area 301 and then performs a touch operation on the direct area 302. The locus 306 shows the locus of the tracing operation. The locus 307 shows the locus of the touch operation. The control unit 50 determines that the intended operation has been performed assuming that the trajectories are separated across the boundary 303, and accepts the operation for the direct region 302, as in the case where the trajectories of the tracing operation are divided.
図９Ｃは、ダイレクト領域３０２に対する操作が受け付けられない場合の一例を示している。この図９Ｃでは、操作の軌跡３０８が境界３０３で分かれず、メニュー領域３０１からダイレクト領域３０２へと連続的に繋がった軌跡となっている。制御部５０は、軌跡３０８が境界３０３を挟んでメニュー領域３０１からダイレクト領域３０２へと連続的に繋がっていると判定した場合、ダイレクト領域３０２で検出された操作を受け付けない。 FIG. 9C shows an example in the case where the operation for the direct region 302 is not accepted. In FIG. 9C, the operation trajectory 308 is not divided by the boundary 303, and is a trajectory that is continuously connected from the menu area 301 to the direct area 302. When the control unit 50 determines that the locus 308 is continuously connected from the menu area 301 to the direct area 302 across the boundary 303, it does not accept the operation detected in the direct area 302.
制御部５０は、例えば、周期的に取得した検出情報に基づいて連続的に検出点が算出され、この算出された検出点を結ぶ軌跡が境界３０３を跨いている場合、軌跡が連続的に繋がっていると判定する。 For example, the control unit 50 continuously calculates detection points based on the detection information acquired periodically, and when the locus connecting the calculated detection points straddles the boundary 303, the loci are continuously connected. Judge that
なお変形例として制御部５０は、第１の実施の形態の予め定められた期間Ｔを設定して軌跡の連続性と組み合わせて意図しない操作の判定を行っても良い。この場合、制御部５０は、軌跡が繋がっていなくても、メニュー領域３０１に対する操作が終了した終了時間Ｔｍとダイレクト領域３０２に対する操作が検出された開始時間Ｔｄとの差（＝Ｔｄ－Ｔｍ：Ｔｄ－ｍ）が予め定められた期間Ｔ以内である場合、ダイレクト領域３０２に対する操作を受け付けない。 As a modification, the control unit 50 may determine the unintended operation in combination with the continuity of the trajectory by setting the predetermined period T of the first embodiment. In this case, the control unit 50 controls the difference (=T d −) between the end time T m at which the operation on the menu area 301 ends and the start time T d at which the operation on the direct area 302 is detected, even if the loci are not connected. When T m :T d−m ) is within a predetermined period T, the operation on the direct area 302 is not accepted.
以下に本実施形態の入力装置１の動作の一例について図１０のフローチャートに従って説明する。 An example of the operation of the input device 1 of this embodiment will be described below with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
（動作）
入力装置１の制御部５０は、メニュー領域３０１からダイレクト領域３０２に亘る操作を検出した場合（Ｓｔｅｐ１０）、メニュー領域３０１に対してなされた操作に基づくメニュー操作情報Ｓ５を出力した後、軌跡の連続性を確認する。なおメニュー操作情報Ｓ５を出力するタイミングは、これに限定されず、軌跡の連続性を判定した後であっても良い。 (motion)
When detecting an operation from the menu area 301 to the direct area 302 (Step 10), the control unit 50 of the input device 1 outputs the menu operation information S 5 based on the operation performed on the menu area 301 and then Check continuity. The timing of outputting the menu operation information S 5 is not limited to this, and may be after the continuity of the trajectory is determined.
制御部５０は、操作の軌跡が連続していた場合（Ｓｔｅｐ１１：Ｙｅｓ）、ダイレクト領域３０２の操作を受け付けず（Ｓｔｅｐ１２）、動作を終了する。 When the operation trajectory is continuous (Step 11: Yes), the control unit 50 does not accept the operation of the direct area 302 (Step 12) and ends the operation.
ここでステップ１１において制御部５０は、軌跡が連続してない場合（Ｓｔｅｐ１１：Ｎｏ）、ダイレクト領域３０２において検出された操作を受け付ける（Ｓｔｅｐ１３）。 Here, in step 11, if the trajectory is not continuous (Step 11: No), the control unit 50 accepts the operation detected in the direct area 302 (Step 13).
（第２の実施の形態の効果）
本実施の形態の入力装置１は、操作の軌跡に基づいてダイレクト領域３０２に対する操作が意図した操作か否かを判定するので、この構成を採用しない場合と比べて、容易に判定することができる。 (Effect of the second embodiment)
Since the input device 1 of the present embodiment determines whether or not the operation on the direct area 302 is the intended operation based on the trajectory of the operation, it can be easily determined as compared to the case where this configuration is not adopted. ..
[第３の実施の形態]
第３の実施の形態は、表示装置を含む点で他の実施の形態と異なっている。 [Third Embodiment]
The third embodiment differs from other embodiments in that it includes a display device.
図１１は、入力制御システムを示すブロック図である。入力制御システム７は、例えば、図１１に示すように、上述の入力装置１と、メニュー領域３０１及びダイレクト領域３０２に割り当てられた機能に関する表示を行う表示装置７０と、を有する。 FIG. 11 is a block diagram showing an input control system. The input control system 7 includes, for example, as shown in FIG. 11, the above-described input device 1 and a display device 70 that displays the functions assigned to the menu area 301 and the direct area 302.
表示装置７０は、例えば、図１Ａに示すメータディスプレイ８４、メインディスプレイ８６、ヘッドアップディスプレイ８７及びルームミラーモニタ８８０の少なくとも１つの装置であっても良いし、他の表示装置であっても良い。 The display device 70 may be, for example, at least one device of the meter display 84, the main display 86, the head-up display 87, and the room mirror monitor 880 shown in FIG. 1A, or may be another display device.
制御装置５は、メニュー領域３０１及びダイレクト領域３０２に関する表示を行わせるため、表示制御信号Ｓ７を生成して表示装置７０に出力する。表示装置７０は、この表示制御信号Ｓ７に基づいて表示を行う。 The control device 5 generates the display control signal S 7 and outputs it to the display device 70 in order to display the menu area 301 and the direct area 302. Display device 70 performs display based on the display control signal S 7.
本実施の形態の入力制御システム７は、入力装置１に割り付けられた機能が表示装置７０によって確認できるので、この構成を採用しない場合と比べて、操作可能な機能が確認し易く操作性が良い。 In the input control system 7 of the present embodiment, since the functions assigned to the input device 1 can be confirmed by the display device 70, the operable functions are easier to confirm and the operability is better than when this configuration is not adopted. ..
以上述べた少なくとも１つの実施の形態の入力装置１、制御装置５及び入力制御システム７によれば、意図しない操作の受け付けを抑制することが可能となる。 According to the input device 1, the control device 5, and the input control system 7 of at least one embodiment described above, it is possible to suppress the reception of an unintended operation.
