特開２０１８－１２７０１３号公報JP-A-2018-127013
特許文献１に開示された入力装置において、ユーザがステアリングを把持した状態でタッチパッドに操作を行うと、親指の付け根付近がステアリングに接触して動きが阻害されることもあり、親指のＣＭ関節より先端に近いＭＰ関節付近を中心とした扇状の狭い範囲に可動範囲が限定される。そのため、タッチパッドを介した操作対象の選択などの操作が可動範囲を考慮されたものでない場合、ステアリングを把持した状態では操作し難い可能性がある。 In the input device disclosed in Patent Document 1, when the user operates the touch pad while holding the steering wheel, the vicinity of the base of the thumb may come into contact with the steering wheel to hinder the movement, and the CM joint of the thumb. The movable range is limited to a narrow fan-shaped range centered around the MP joint closer to the tip. Therefore, if the operation such as selection of the operation target via the touch pad does not take the movable range into consideration, it may be difficult to operate while holding the steering wheel.
本発明の目的は、ステアリングを把持した状態における操作性を向上させることができる操作装置を提供することにある。 An object of the present invention is to provide an operating device capable of improving operability in a state where the steering wheel is gripped.

That is, the operation method suitable for the movable range 7 is an operation in the vertical direction.
この可動範囲７は、図３Ａに斜線で示す範囲である。ここでは、左側のタッチパッド３にのみの可動範囲７を示している。親指９０は、図２Ｂに円で囲むＭＰ関節の周辺の回転中心領域７０を中心に回転する。そのため、親指９０を操作面３０ａの上下に移動させた場合、一例として、図３Ａに示すように、扇形の帯状の回転領域７１が得られる。この回転領域７１は、親指９０の腹部分が操作面３０ａに接触するので帯状となっている。ユーザは、この回転領域７１に対して容易に操作が可能である。つまりユーザは、操作面３０ａに対して上下方向の操作が容易である。なお回転領域７１の形状は、ユーザの手の大きさなどに依存する。 The movable range 7 is a range shown by diagonal lines in FIG. 3A. Here, the movable range 7 is shown only on the left touch pad 3. The thumb 90 rotates about the rotation center region 70 around the MP joint circled in FIG. 2B. Therefore, when the thumb 90 is moved up and down of the operation surface 30a, as shown in FIG. 3A, a fan-shaped strip-shaped rotating region 71 is obtained as an example. The rotation region 71 has a band shape because the abdominal portion of the thumb 90 comes into contact with the operation surface 30a. The user can easily operate the rotation region 71. That is, the user can easily operate the operation surface 30a in the vertical direction. The shape of the rotation region 71 depends on the size of the user's hand and the like.
この上下方向の操作に適した処理は、例えば、操作対象であるリストのスクロールである。そこでメニュー入力領域３０１に対応するメニュー表示領域８７４及びメニュー表示領域８７６には、親指９０の可動範囲７を考慮したリスト８７４ａ及びリスト８７６ａが表示されている。 A process suitable for this vertical operation is, for example, scrolling of a list to be operated. Therefore, in the menu display area 874 and the menu display area 876 corresponding to the menu input area 301, the list 874a and the list 876a in consideration of the movable range 7 of the thumb 90 are displayed.
制御部６０は、親指９０の可動範囲７に適した操作方向に沿って表示装置５に表示された操作対象の主機能の選択方向を配置する。 The control unit 60 arranges the selection direction of the main function of the operation target displayed on the display device 5 along the operation direction suitable for the movable range 7 of the thumb 90.
また制御部６０は、親指９０の可動範囲７に適さない操作方向に表示装置５に表示された操作対象の副機能の選択方向を配置する。 Further, the control unit 60 arranges the selection direction of the sub-function of the operation target displayed on the display device 5 in the operation direction not suitable for the movable range 7 of the thumb 90.
制御部６は、親指９０の可動範囲７に適した親指９０を操作面３０ａに接触させて指を引く操作によって第１の処理を操作対象に行い、操作面３０ａに接触させて指を伸ばす操作によって第１の処理と異なる第２の処理を操作対象に行う。 The control unit 6 performs the first process on the operation target by bringing the thumb 90 suitable for the movable range 7 of the thumb 90 into contact with the operation surface 30a and pulling the finger, and brings the thumb 90 into contact with the operation surface 30a to extend the finger. A second process different from the first process is performed on the operation target.
一例として、制御部６は、第１の処理として操作対象の登録を行い、第２の処理として操作対象の削除を行う。親指９０を引く操作は、指を伸ばす操作と比べてやり易い。そこで、親指９０を引く操作には、誤って操作したとしても影響が小さい登録処理が割り当てられている。 As an example, the control unit 6 registers the operation target as the first process and deletes the operation target as the second process. The operation of pulling the thumb 90 is easier than the operation of extending the finger. Therefore, the operation of pulling the thumb 90 is assigned a registration process that has little effect even if the operation is erroneously operated.
親指９０は、ステアリング８５を把持した状態からは実質的にＤＩＰ関節とＰＩＰ関節からしか曲がらないので、その可動域は他の指に比べて限定的である。従って親指９０を伸ばす操作は、ステアリング８５に阻害されて引く操作よりもやり難い。図３Ａに示す直線領域７２は、一例として、親指９０を直線的に伸ばしたり引いたりできる領域を示している。 Since the thumb 90 bends substantially only from the DIP joint and the PIP joint from the state where the steering wheel 85 is gripped, its range of motion is limited as compared with other fingers. Therefore, the operation of extending the thumb 90 is more difficult than the operation of pulling due to the obstruction of the steering 85. The linear region 72 shown in FIG. 3A shows, as an example, an region in which the thumb 90 can be linearly extended or pulled.
そこで、親指９０を伸ばす操作には、誤って操作すると影響が大きい削除処理が割り当てられる。以下では、親指９０の可動範囲７を考慮した操作の割り付けや動作について具体的に説明する。 Therefore, the operation of extending the thumb 90 is assigned a deletion process that has a large effect if it is operated by mistake. Hereinafter, the allocation and operation of the operation in consideration of the movable range 7 of the thumb 90 will be specifically described.
（動作）
・削除処理について
ここでは、タスクマネージャー画面から「目的地検索」の項目を削除する場合について説明する。このタスクマネージャー画面には、よく使う操作対象としての項目が登録されている。なおこの削除処理は、操作対象の副機能である。 (motion)
-Delete processing Here, the case of deleting the item of "destination search" from the task manager screen will be described. Items that are frequently used operation targets are registered in this task manager screen. This deletion process is a sub-function of the operation target.
図４Ａに示すタスクマネージャー画面に画面遷移したメニュー表示領域８７４には、「Ａ曲を再生」、「目的地検索」及び「風量調整」の項目を有するリスト８７４ｂが表示されている。ユーザは、図４Ｂに示すように、親指９０によって操作面３０ａを上下になぞり、所望の項目を選択状態とする。リスト８７４ｂの項目は、メニュー表示領域８７４の中央に表示されることで選択状態となる。 In the menu display area 874 that has transitioned to the task manager screen shown in FIG. 4A, a list 874b having items of "play A song", "destination search", and "air volume adjustment" is displayed. As shown in FIG. 4B, the user traces the operation surface 30a up and down with the thumb 90 to select a desired item. The item in list 874b is displayed in the center of the menu display area 874 to be in the selected state.
次にユーザは、所望の項目が選択状態となると、操作面３０ａに長タッチ操作を行う。この長タッチ操作とは、親指９０を所望の時間以上、操作面３０ａに接触させる操作である。 Next, when the desired item is selected, the user performs a long touch operation on the operation surface 30a. This long touch operation is an operation in which the thumb 90 is brought into contact with the operation surface 30a for a desired time or longer.
この長タッチ操作が受け付けられて削除が可能となる削除モードとなると、図４Ｃに示すように、削除対象の項目の隣にゴミ箱を示すアイコンが表示される。ユーザは、この削除モードが受け付けられた後、図４Ｄに示すように、操作がし難い伸ばす操作を行う。 When the deletion mode is set in which the long touch operation is accepted and the deletion is possible, an icon indicating a trash can is displayed next to the item to be deleted, as shown in FIG. 4C. After the deletion mode is accepted, the user performs a stretching operation that is difficult to operate, as shown in FIG. 4D.
制御部６は、図４Ｅに示すように、この親指９０を伸ばす操作に基づいて「目的地検索」の項目をリスト８７４ｂから削除する。 As shown in FIG. 4E, the control unit 6 deletes the item of "destination search" from the list 874b based on the operation of extending the thumb 90.
・登録処理について
ここでは、履歴画面からメニュー画面に項目を登録する場合について説明する。この履歴画面には、過去に操作対象として操作された項目が登録されている。なおこの登録処理は、操作対象の主機能である。 -Registration process Here, the case of registering an item from the history screen to the menu screen will be described. Items that have been operated as operation targets in the past are registered in this history screen. This registration process is the main function of the operation target.
図５Ａに示す履歴画面に画面遷移したメニュー表示領域８７４には、「Ａ曲を再生」、「自宅に戻る」及び「風量調整」の項目を有するリスト８７４ｃが表示されている。ユーザは、図５Ｂに示すように、親指９０によって操作面３０ａを上下になぞり、所望の項目をリストの中央に配置し選択状態とする。 In the menu display area 874 that has transitioned to the history screen shown in FIG. 5A, a list 874c having items of "play A song", "return to home", and "air volume adjustment" is displayed. As shown in FIG. 5B, the user traces the operation surface 30a up and down with the thumb 90 to arrange the desired item in the center of the list and put it in the selected state.
次にユーザは、所望の項目が選択状態となると、登録が可能となる登録モードに入るため、操作面３０ａに長押し操作か長タッチ操作を行う。この長タッチ操作とは、親指９０を一定時間以上、操作面３０ａに接触させる操作である。長押し操作は、親指９０を一定時間以上、操作面３０ａに押し付ける操作である。登録モードに移行した場合、図５Ｃに示すように、登録可能な項目の周囲に枠が表示される。 Next, when the desired item is selected, the user enters a registration mode in which registration is possible, so that the user performs a long press operation or a long touch operation on the operation surface 30a. This long touch operation is an operation in which the thumb 90 is brought into contact with the operation surface 30a for a certain period of time or longer. The long press operation is an operation of pressing the thumb 90 against the operation surface 30a for a certain period of time or longer. When the mode is changed to the registration mode, a frame is displayed around the items that can be registered, as shown in FIG. 5C.
ユーザは、この長押し操作又は長タッチ操作が受け付けられて登録モードとなると、図５Ｄに示すように、操作がし易い親指９０を引く操作を行う。なお変形例として登録モードと削除モードとは、例えば、長押し操作又は長タッチ操作の後、登録削除の両方を受け付けるモードとなり、親指９０を伸ばす操作により削除処理が行われ、親指９０を引く操作により登録処理が行われるようにされても良い。 When the long press operation or the long touch operation is accepted and the registration mode is set, the user performs an operation of pulling the thumb 90, which is easy to operate, as shown in FIG. 5D. As a modification, the registration mode and the deletion mode are, for example, modes that accept both registration deletion after a long press operation or a long touch operation, and the deletion process is performed by the operation of extending the thumb 90, and the operation of pulling the thumb 90. The registration process may be performed by.
制御部６は、図５Ｅに示すように、この親指９０を引く操作に基づいて「自宅に戻る」の項目をメニュー画面に登録する。 As shown in FIG. 5E, the control unit 6 registers the item "return to home" in the menu screen based on the operation of pulling the thumb 90.
続いて以下では、第２の処理が、メールの送信処理である場合について説明する。 Subsequently, the case where the second process is the mail transmission process will be described below.
・メールの送信処理について
図６Ａに示すメール作成画面に画面遷移したメニュー表示領域８７４には、送信先である「Ａさん」、メールの内容である「もう着きます」、及びスライドバー８７４ｅがリスト８７４ｄとして表示されている。ユーザは、図６Ｂに示すように、操作面３０ａを介してスライドバー８７４ｅに対してスワイプ操作を行う。なおこの送信処理は、操作対象の副機能である。 -About the mail transmission process In the menu display area 874 that has transitioned to the mail composition screen shown in Fig. 6A, the destination "Mr. A", the content of the mail "I'm ready", and the slide bar 874e are listed. It is displayed as 874d. As shown in FIG. 6B, the user swipes the slide bar 874e via the operation surface 30a. This transmission process is a sub-function of the operation target.
図６Ｃに示すように、制御部６は、なされたスワイプ操作に応じてスライドバー８７４ｅのボタン８７４ｆを左から右に移動させ、メールの送信処理を行う。このメールの送信処理は、送信の取り消しができないことから親指９０の操作がし難い伸ばす方向のなぞり操作として誤操作を抑制している。 As shown in FIG. 6C, the control unit 6 moves the button 874f of the slide bar 874e from left to right in response to the swipe operation performed, and performs the mail transmission process. In this mail transmission process, since the transmission cannot be canceled, it is difficult to operate the thumb 90, and an erroneous operation is suppressed as a tracing operation in the extending direction.
