The present invention is also applicable to other systems such as audio equipment and factory equipment.

<< 1 >> Embodiment 1
<< 1-1 >> Configuration FIG. 1 is a functional block diagram schematically showing a configuration of a touch input determination device 10 according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. The touch input determination device 10 is a device that can perform the touch input determination method according to the first embodiment. Further, the touch input determination device 10 may be a device (computer) that can execute the touch input determination program according to the first embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 1, the touch input determination device 10 is connected to the touch panel 20. The touch panel 20 includes a display panel unit (display device) 22 that provides an operation image of a display component (for example, button display) used for user operation, and an operation panel unit (input device) 21 that receives a touch gesture operation by the user. Including. The display panel unit 22 and the operation panel unit 21 are arranged so as to constitute a screen for touch gesture operation of the touch panel 20. However, the touch panel 20 may be a part of the touch input determination device 10.

As illustrated in FIG. 1, the touch input determination device 10 stores an operation information input unit 11 that receives operation information provided from the operation panel unit 21, a control unit 12 that controls the operation of the entire device, and information. A storage unit 17 such as a semiconductor memory, a notification unit 18 as a sound output unit that outputs an audio signal to a sound output device (for example, a speaker), and a display control unit 19 that controls display contents of the display panel unit 22 are provided. ing.

The control unit 12 includes an operation mode switching unit 13 that switches a user operation mode on the touch panel 20 and an operation determination unit 14 that performs processing based on operation information received from the touch panel 20 via the operation information input unit 11. . The operation determination unit 14 includes a first touch gesture determination unit 15 that determines a touch gesture operation in a normal operation mode (display component is displayed) as a first operation mode operated on the touch panel 20, and a touch panel. And a second touch gesture determination unit 16 that determines a touch gesture operation in a non-visual operation mode as a second operation mode operated in 20 (when the entire screen of the touch panel 20 is used as an operation area). Yes. Here, the non-visual operation mode means a mode in which a touch gesture operation is possible without viewing the touch panel 20, and is related to whether the user is actually viewing the screen of the touch panel 20 or not. There is no.

The operation information input unit 11 receives the operation information output from the operation panel unit 21 of the touch panel 20 and provides it to the control unit 12.

The operation mode switching unit 13 sets the user operation mode on the touch panel 20 as a first operation mode for operating display components displayed on the screen of the touch panel 20 or the entire screen of the touch panel 20 as a reception area for touch gesture operations. Switch to operation mode 2. The switching is performed, for example, in response to a user operation on the touch panel 20. For example, the operation mode switching unit 13 is a case where the touch coordinate information that is the operation information received from the touch panel 20 is a two-point touch (shown in FIG. 5 described later) that causes two fingers to contact the screen of the touch panel 20. In addition, the user operation mode is switched from the first operation mode to the second operation mode. In the second operation mode, when a pinch-in (first touch gesture operation), which is an operation for narrowing the interval between two fingers, is performed, a slide bar (in the position where the pinch-in is performed is displayed on the screen of the touch panel 20. (Shown in FIG. 7 described later) is displayed.

The first touch gesture determination unit 15 of the operation determination unit 14 performs a first process based on operation information provided from the touch panel 20 when the first operation mode is set by the operation mode switching unit 13. Specifically, the first touch gesture determination unit 15 uses a button touch that is a touch gesture operation in the first operation mode (normal operation mode) from operation information based on the touch gesture operation provided from the touch panel 20. The contents of a gesture operation (a touch gesture operation on a button as a display component and shown in FIG. 12 described later) are determined, and a signal corresponding to the determination result is output.

The second touch gesture determination unit 16 of the operation determination unit 14 performs a second process based on the operation information provided from the touch panel 20 when the second operation mode is set by the operation mode switching unit 13. Specifically, the second touch gesture determination unit 16 determines in advance at an arbitrary position on the screen of the touch panel 20 after the user operation mode is switched from the first operation mode to the second operation mode. When the first touch gesture operation (for example, pinch-in) is performed, a slide bar is displayed at the position where the first touch gesture operation is performed. When the second touch gesture determination unit 16 performs a second touch gesture operation (also referred to as “slide bar gesture operation”, which will be described later in FIG. 8) to move (slide) the slide bar knob, The selected value (operation result information) is changed according to the amount of movement.

As described above, the touch input determination device 10 according to the first embodiment displays the slide bar including the bar and the knob (knob) at the position where the first touch gesture operation (for example, pinch-in) is performed. A second touch gesture operation (up / down operation for moving the knob upward or downward, shown in FIG. 8 described later) is performed from the position where the first touch gesture operation is performed (shown in FIG. 7 described later). Therefore, the user can change (set) the selected value (for example, the stop floor of the elevator), so that the user can easily and appropriately perform the touch gesture operation on the slide bar without looking at the screen of the touch panel 20. Can do.

FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a hardware configuration of the touch input determination device 10 according to the first embodiment. As illustrated in FIG. 2, the touch input determination device 10 includes a memory 42 that stores a program (touch input determination program) as software, and an information processing device that executes the program stored in the memory 42. And a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 41 as a processor. The memory 42 shown in FIG. 2 corresponds to the storage unit 17 in FIG.

The CPU 41 in FIG. 2 can implement each configuration of the control unit 12 by executing a touch input determination program stored in the memory 42.

<< 1-2 >> Operation FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing an operation example of the touch input determination apparatus 10 according to the first embodiment. 4 to 12 are diagrams showing a screen of the touch panel 20 and a touch gesture operation performed by the user.

As shown in FIG. 4, the touch input determination device 10 according to the first embodiment is connected to the touch panel 20 and is mounted on an elevator control system for selecting an elevator stop floor (selection value).

In step S1 of FIG. 3, when the system in which the touch input determination device 10 is mounted is started, the control unit 12 is in a first operation mode (normal operation mode) in which display components are operated, as shown in FIG. As shown, buttons on the touch panel 20 are displayed as display components. In the example of FIG. 4, buttons to which numerical values (selection value candidates) indicating the first floor to the 30th floor are assigned are displayed. In the example of FIG. 4, the 7th floor and the 15th floor are already selected as stop floors (that is, floors scheduled to stop) and are highlighted (for example, brightness highlight or color change display).

In the next step S2, the control unit 12 waits for an input of a touch gesture operation on the touch panel 20, and when the touch gesture operation is performed, the process proceeds to step S3.

In the next step S3, the control unit 12 performs a two-point touch that is a touch gesture operation for switching the operation mode based on the touch position coordinates acquired from the touch panel 20 (as shown in FIG. 5, 2 of the hand 51). It is determined whether or not there has been an operation of touching with a finger of a book. Any finger may be used for the two-point touch. Further, the touch positions 61 and 62 are not limited to the example of FIG. Further, this operation may be another touch gesture operation such as a three-point touch or a rotation operation as long as it can be identified as a touch gesture operation for switching the operation mode.

If it is determined that there is a two-point touch (YES in step S3), the control unit 12 advances the process to step S4, hides the button on the screen of the touch panel 20, and slides the slide bar as shown in FIG. The bar 71 is displayed. In the example of FIG. 6, the bar 71 extends in a first direction that is a predetermined direction of the screen of the touch panel 20, that is, in the vertical direction (vertical direction). Note that the timing at which the bar 71 is displayed may be later than step S4 (eg, step S6). Further, the extending direction of the bar 71 may be set in another direction such as a horizontal direction (horizontal direction).

In the next step S5, the control unit 12 determines whether or not a pinch-in as a first touch gesture operation has been performed with two fingers at an arbitrary position on the screen of the touch panel 20 as shown in FIG. to decide. If the first touch gesture operation is an operation that can specify the position on the screen of the touch panel 20 (for example, a double tap with one finger or a long press with one finger), the other touch gesture operation is performed. It may be.

When the pinch-in is not performed (NO in step S5), the control unit 12 returns the process to step S4, displays a bar 71 on the screen of the touch panel 20 as shown in FIG. Waiting to be done.

When the pinch-in has been performed (YES in step S5), the control unit 12 advances the process to step S6, and slides including a bar 71 and a knob 72 on the screen of the touch panel 20 as shown in FIG. Display the bar. Also, as shown in FIG. 7, the current floor display (“first floor” in FIG. 7) or the like may be displayed.

In the next step S7, the control unit 12 performs a vertical operation of the knob 72 as a second touch gesture operation for moving the knob 72 in the first direction, that is, a drag operation for moving the knob 72 up or down. Judge whether or not

When the up / down operation of the knob 72 is not performed (NO in step S7), the control unit 12 returns the process to step S6 and displays the bar 71 and the knob 72 on the screen of the touch panel 20 as shown in FIG. Is displayed, and a waiting state for waiting for the up / down operation is performed.

When an up / down operation is performed to move the finger upward or downward with the finger gripping the knob 72 (YES in step S7), the control unit 12 advances the process to step S8 and sets the amount of movement of the knob 72. A calculation for changing the current selection value (stop floor) is performed using the corresponding change amount. As shown in FIG. 8, in the first embodiment, when the position where pinch-in is performed is used as a reference position and the knob 72 is moved upward from this reference position, the selected value increases by a value corresponding to the amount of movement. When the knob 72 is moved downward from the reference position, the selected value is decreased by a value corresponding to the moving amount.

In the next step S9, the control unit 12 determines whether or not the pinch-out as the third touch gesture operation has been performed at the position when the movement of the knob 72 is completed, as shown in FIG. Note that the third touch gesture operation may be any other operation that can specify the completion of movement of the knob 72 on the screen of the touch panel 20 (for example, a double tap with one finger or a long press with one finger). The touch gesture operation may be used.

When the pinch out is not performed (NO in step S9), the control unit 12 advances the process to step S12, and determines whether or not a touch release that is an operation of releasing a finger from the screen of the touch panel 20 is performed. . When the touch release is performed (YES in step S12), the control unit 12 advances the process to step S13, cancels the changed selection value (stop floor) as shown in FIG. Return the selected value to the value before the change. When the touch release is not performed (NO in step S12), control unit 12 returns the process to step S9.

If the pinch out has been performed (YES in step S9), the control unit 12 advances the process to step S10 and determines whether or not the touch release has been performed. If touch release has been performed (YES in step S10), control unit 12 advances the process to step S11, and determines the changed selection value (stop floor) as a new selection value. When the touch release is not performed (NO in step S10), control unit 12 returns the process to step S5. Note that the control unit 12 may output a voice that the new selection value (stop floor) has been determined through the notification unit 18.

In step S3, when the control unit 12 determines that there is no two-point touch, the process proceeds to step S16, and it is determined whether or not there is a one-point touch as shown as a touch position 63 in FIG. to decide.

When the one-point touch is not performed (NO in step S16), the control unit 12 returns the process to step S2 and enters a standby state waiting for acceptance of the touch gesture operation.

If a one-point touch has been performed (YES in step S16), the control unit 12 determines whether or not a touch release has been performed in step S17. If touch release has been performed (YES in step S17), control unit 12 advances the process to step S18, and determines the changed selection value (stop floor) as a new selection value. When the touch release is not performed (NO in step S10), control unit 12 returns the process to step S2.

<< 1-3 >> Effect As described above, according to the touch input determination device 10, the touch input determination method, and the touch input determination program according to the first embodiment, the figure can be displayed at an arbitrary position on the screen of the touch panel 20. If the pinch-in as the first touch gesture operation shown in step S5 of FIG. 3 and FIG. 7 is performed, a slide bar including the bar 71 and the knob 72 is displayed, and the knob 72 is moved up and down by a simple operation. The selection value can be increased or decreased according to the movement amount and movement direction of the knob 72. For this reason, even if it does not look at the screen of the touch panel 20, the effect that the touch gesture operation with respect to the slide bar displayed on the screen of the touch panel 20 can be performed appropriately is acquired.

In addition, since the touch gesture operation (steps S5 to S9) from the selection start to the selection end on the touch panel 20 is an operation by moving the knob, the user can explicitly indicate the operation and reduce selection errors. Can do.

<< 2 >> Embodiment 2
<< 2-1 >> Configuration In the first embodiment, the slide bar includes one bar 71 extending in the vertical direction (first direction), and the knob 72 extends in the vertical direction on the single bar 71. The operation determination unit 14 changes the current selection value by using the change amount corresponding to the movement amount of the vertical movement of the knob 72.

However, when the selected value is a large value and the number of digits of the selected value is a plurality of digits, it takes a long time to change the selected value only by moving the knob 72 on one bar 71.

Therefore, in the touch input determination device, the touch input determination method, and the touch input determination program according to Embodiment 2, the slide bar has a plurality of bars extending in the vertical direction (first direction). The bars of the book are used to change the number of selected values per digit (eg, the number of one digit, the number of ten digits, the number of hundred digits). The user selects one of the plurality of bars by moving the knob in a second direction that intersects (for example, orthogonally) the first direction, and the plurality of bars are selected in accordance with the movement of the knob in the first direction. Change the number of digits corresponding to the selected bar in the bar.

The configuration of the touch input determination device according to the second embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment except for the control content of the control unit 12. For this reason, FIG. 1 is referred to in the description of the second embodiment.

<< 2-2 >> Operation FIG. 13 shows an operation example of the touch input determination device according to the second embodiment. In FIG. 13, the same step number as the step number of FIG. 3 is attached | subjected to the processing step of the same content as the processing step of FIG. 3 (Embodiment 1). The operation of the second embodiment shown in FIG. 13 is different from the operation of the first embodiment shown in FIG. 3 in that knob left / right operation and left / right operation processing in steps S14 and S15 are added. Except for this difference, the operation shown in FIG. 13 is the same as that of FIG.

FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing a left / right operation process in the touch input determination device according to the second embodiment. FIG. 15 is a diagram showing the touch gesture operation in step S151 of FIG.

As shown in FIG. 15, in the second embodiment, the bar 81 of the slide bar includes first to nth bar portions extending in the first direction. Here, n is a positive integer. FIG. 15 shows three bar portions parallel to each other when n = 3, that is, in the first direction.

The selection value is an n-digit number composed of the number of the first digit to the number of the n-th digit. When n = 3, the selected value is the number of the 1's place (number of the first digit), the number of the tens place (number of the 2nd digit), and the number of the hundreds place (the 3rd digit) Number).

The 1st to nth bar parts are used for changing from the first digit number to the nth digit number, respectively. That is, in the example of FIG. 15, the leftmost bar portion (n = 1) is used to increase or decrease the number of 1's in the selected value, and the central bar portion (n = 2) The rightmost bar portion (n = 3) is used to increase / decrease the number of hundreds of the selected value.

In step S14 in FIG. 13, the operation determination unit 14 of the control unit 12 responds to the movement of the knob 82 in the second direction intersecting the first direction, and the kth of the first to nth bar portions. The bar portion is selected (k is an arbitrary integer not smaller than 1 and not larger than n). In step S15 in FIG. 13 (step S151 in FIG. 14), the selected first portion is selected according to the movement amount of the knob 82 in the first direction. Change the number of the kth digit corresponding to the bar portion of k. In FIG. 15, the second direction is a direction orthogonal to the first direction, but may not be orthogonal if the direction is different from the first direction.

<< 2-3 >> Effect As described above, according to the touch input determination device, the touch input determination method, and the touch input determination program according to the second embodiment, the bar 81 can be placed at any position on the screen of the touch panel 20. After the slide bar including the knob 82 is displayed, it is possible to select the number of digits of the selection value to be changed by performing a left / right operation for moving the knob 82 in the horizontal direction. For this reason, for example, a hundreds value (an integer from 0 to 9) is directly specified, a tens digit value (an integer from 0 to 9) is directly specified, and a ones value (0 to 9) is specified. The selected value can be changed by directly specifying the integer) until the touch gesture operation on the slide bar displayed on the screen of the touch panel 20 is appropriately performed without viewing the screen of the touch panel 20. And can quickly change the selected value.

The second embodiment is the same as the first embodiment except for the points described above.

<< 3 >> Embodiment 3
<< 3-1 >> Configuration In the first embodiment, when the selection value is a large value, the time required for the operation of changing the selection value is long. Therefore, in the touch input determination device, the touch input determination method, and the touch input determination program according to Embodiment 3, the slide bar has a plurality of bars extending in the vertical direction (first direction). In the bars, different values are set as the rate of change (resolution) that is the ratio of the amount of change in the selected value to the amount of movement of the knob in the first direction.

The configuration of the touch input determination device according to the third embodiment is the same as that of the first and second embodiments except for the control content of the control unit 12. For this reason, FIGS. 1 and 13 are referred to in the description of the third embodiment.

<< 3-2 >> Operation FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing left / right operation processing in the touch input determination apparatus according to the third embodiment. FIG. 17 is a diagram showing the touch gesture operation in step S152 of FIG.

As shown in FIG. 17, in the third embodiment, the bar 91 of the slide bar includes first to n-th bar portions extending in the first direction. FIG. 17 shows three bars that are parallel to each other in the first direction when n = 3.

The first to n-th bar portions have different first to n-th change rates (resolutions) as the change rate (resolution) that is the ratio of the change amount of the selected value to the movement amount of the knob 92 in the first direction. ) Is assigned. In the example of FIG. 17, in the leftmost bar portion (n = 1), the increase amount per unit movement amount is +1, the decrease amount per unit movement amount is −1, and the central bar portion (n = 2), the increase amount per unit movement amount is +5, the decrease amount per unit movement amount is -5, and in the rightmost bar portion (n = 3), the increase amount per unit movement amount Is +10, and the amount of decrease per unit movement is −10.

In step S14 of FIG. 13, the operation determination unit 14 of the control unit 12 responds to the movement of the knob 92 in the second direction intersecting the first direction, and the kth of the first to nth bar portions. The bar portion is selected (k is an arbitrary integer between 1 and n), and in step S15 in FIG. 13 (step S152 in FIG. 16), the amount of movement of the knob 92 in the first direction and the selected kth The selection value is changed using the change rate (resolution) corresponding to the bar portion.

<< 3-3 >> Effect As described above, according to the touch input determination device, the touch input determination method, and the touch input determination program according to the third embodiment, the bar 91 can be placed at any position on the screen of the touch panel 20. After the slide bar including the knob 92 is displayed, a left and right operation for moving the knob 92 in the horizontal direction is performed to select the bar portion used for changing the selection value. For this reason, for example, when the selected value is slightly changed, the up / down operation is performed at the leftmost bar portion, and when the selected value is to be increased / decreased at a medium resolution, the up / down operation is performed at the central bar portion. If the selection value is greatly changed, the up / down operation can be performed at the rightmost bar portion.
