Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent a situation in which a certain operation is erroneously recognized as a different operation even when a user intends to perform the certain operation on a touch panel.SOLUTION: In the case of performing a next second operation from coordinates x3 after performing a first operation between coordinates x1 and coordinates x2 on a touch panel, processing about the second operation is nullified if a coordinate displacement amount between the coordinates x3 and the coordinates x2 is smaller than a threshold and if a lapse time is also equal to or less than a fixed time.

Description

  The present invention relates to a technique related to improving the convenience of a sliding operation on a touch panel.

  A touch panel display has been adopted in the operation unit of recent multifunction peripherals. In this type of display, when a plurality of selectable items are displayed in a list, if the items cannot fit on one screen, the remaining items are generally displayed by a scroll operation. The touch panel display accepts a slide operation by gesture. The slide operation by gesture includes a drag operation and a flick operation. In the drag operation, the slide speed of the screen is stopped by setting the moving speed at the time when the fingertip is separated to a threshold value or less. In the flick operation, the screen slide is continued at a moving speed equal to or higher than the threshold. In the case of a flick operation, the initial speed of the slide is the moving speed when the fingertip is released. After that, the screen is slid by decelerating with virtual friction while maintaining the speed and direction by inertia, and the slide is eventually stopped.

  In the list display, a selection operation for pressing an item is also accepted. The slide operation and the selection operation by the gesture are discriminated based on the displacement amount of the relative position on the touch panel, for example, the coordinate displacement amount from the touch-on to the touch-off detection. “Touch-on” refers to a change from a state in which the user's fingertip is not sensed to the touch panel to a sensed state. “Touch-off” refers to a change from a state in which the user's fingertip is sensed to the touch panel to a state in which it is not sensed. In the operation unit, when the coordinate displacement amount is larger than the threshold value, it is determined as a slide operation, and when it is small, it is determined as a selection operation.

However, during a slide operation by a gesture, the user may momentarily release the fingertip from the touch panel, or the pressure for pressing the touch panel with the fingertip may temporarily decrease. In these cases, a slide operation may be detected as a selection operation, and as a result, a process unintended by the user may be executed.
As a conventional technique for improving this point, there is an operating device disclosed in Patent Document 1. In this operation device, when a touch-on is detected within a specific period after detecting a touch-off, it is considered that the user has pressed the touch panel between the touch-off and the touch-on. The specific period is set longer as the coordinate displacement between the touch-off and the touch-on immediately before the touch-off is larger.

  As a result, the slide operation by a series of gestures is divided due to a temporary decrease in pressure to press the touch panel, and even if it is detected as two types of operations, it is treated as a slide operation by a series of gestures. It becomes possible.

JP 2012-68710 A

  However, in the operating device disclosed in Patent Document 1, if the amount of coordinate displacement from the touch-on to the touch-off of the previously detected operation is smaller than the threshold value for determining the slide operation, the specific period does not become long. In this case, it cannot be regarded as a slide operation by a series of gestures. For this reason, even if the user intends to perform a slide operation by a gesture, the selection of the item and the slide display are actually performed. Also, the selected item disappears from the screen before recognizing that the user has selected by slide display.

  It is a main object of the present invention to provide a technique capable of solving such a problem and preventing a situation in which a user performs an operation on the touch panel and erroneously recognized as another operation. To do.

The present invention provides an operating device, an image processing device, and a computer program.
The operation device of the present invention includes a detection unit that detects an operation involving touch-on and touch-off on a touch panel. In addition, the storage device stores at least one information of each time and a relative position on the touch panel at the time of touch-on and touch-off of the detected operation for each detected operation. Furthermore, a determination unit that determines what kind of content the operation is based on information stored in the storage unit.
The determination means invalidates the determination result of the second operation when the information by the first operation and the information by the second operation following the first operation are in a relationship that satisfies a preset condition. To do.

The image processing apparatus of the present invention is realized, for example, in cooperation with a computer program for causing a computer having a recording apparatus to operate as an image processing apparatus.
This computer program causes the computer to function as follows.
(1) Display control means for displaying a plurality of individually selectable item images on a touch panel and enabling slide display of the plurality of item images displayed in the list.
(2) A relative position on each touch panel at the time of touch-on and touch-off of the detected operation is acquired from a detection unit that detects an operation involving touch-on and touch-off of a user on the touch panel. And the means to memorize | store in the said recording apparatus for every detected operation.
(3) By comparing the displacement amount of the relative position from the touch-on to the touch-off time of the stored one operation with the set displacement amount (Tx), whether the one operation is the slide operation or the selection operation A discrimination means for discriminating whether or not. The set amount of displacement is determined as a slide operation for instructing the slide display when the displacement exceeds the threshold, and a threshold for determining as a selection operation for instructing any of the plurality of item images when the amount is less than the set displacement. is there.
(4) When the amount of displacement of the relative position from the touch-off time of the one operation to the touch-on time of a subsequent operation different from the one operation is less than a preset threshold (Tx), The determination result of the subsequent operation is invalidated.

  According to the present invention, when the record information such as the relative position by the previous previous operation and the record information such as the relative position by the subsequent operation are in a relationship that matches a preset condition, the determination of the subsequent operation is performed. The result is invalidated. Therefore, when the user performs one operation, it is possible to prevent a situation in which the operation is divided and erroneously recognized as being performed twice.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described.
[First Embodiment]
FIG. 1 is a hardware configuration diagram of an image processing apparatus according to the first embodiment of the present invention. The image processing apparatus 1 is a kind of computer, and includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 11, a RAM (Random Access Memory) 12, and a recording device 13. The CPU 11 is a control module that comprehensively controls the operation of the image processing apparatus 1. It also has a function as a timekeeping means. The RAM 12 provides a work area for the CPU 11. The recording device 13 is, for example, a hard disk or NVRAM (Non Volatile RAM). In addition to the control program executed by the CPU 11, the recording device 13 stores a coordinate displacement amount threshold value Tx, an elapsed time threshold value Tt, and other setting information and data described later.

The image processing apparatus 1 includes a user command input device 14, a reading device 15, and a communication device 16. The devices 11 to 16 are connected via a main bus 18.
The user command input device 14 operates as an operation device that cooperates with the CPU 11 and the like. Specifically, the user receives instructions from various gestures through a touch panel display. Also, the result of image processing is displayed. The reading device 15 reads a document image, for example. The communication device 16 controls communication with an external device via the network 2.

  An example of the overall configuration of an image communication system including the image processing apparatus 1 is shown in FIG. The image processing apparatus 1 is connected to an electronic device 3 that is an example of an external device via a communication device 16 and a network 2. The contents of the operation of the image processing apparatus 1 in this image communication system will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4 are explanatory diagrams of a control procedure by the image processing apparatus 1, particularly the CPU 11. 5 and 8 are screen examples displayed on the display of the user command input device 14. 6 and 9 show the relationship between the pressure detected by the user command input device 14 and the coordinates. FIG. 7 shows an example of data recorded in the recording device 13 in this example.

  Referring to FIG. 3, the image processing apparatus 1 (CPU 11) starts operating when power is supplied (S101). First, display control is performed to display a predetermined screen on the display of the user command input device 14. In this example, a destination list screen is displayed (S102). FIG. 5 is a view showing an example of the destination list screen 101 displayed on the display of the user command input device 14. In the example shown in the drawing, a plurality of storage destinations 102 in the electronic device 3 which are examples of selectable items are displayed in a list. “MachineX” is the electronic device 3, and the subsequent directory represents a storage configuration example in the electronic device 3. The user command input device 14 transmits the contents operated by the user on the destination list screen 101 to the CPU 11. The CPU 11 recognizes the meaning of various instructions from the transmitted contents and performs necessary processing.

  For example, it is assumed that a transmission start instruction is input by the user pressing the transmission screen button 103 on the destination list screen 101 in FIG. 5 (S103: Yes). In this case, the CPU 11 executes a transmission process (S104) described later. If the transmission screen button 103 has not been pressed (S103: No), it is determined whether or not a touch-on is performed on the destination list screen 101 (S105). If it is not touched on, it waits until it is done (S105: No).

  Whether or not the touch-on is performed is determined by whether or not the user command input device 14 detects pressure on the display. In addition, the region in which the touch-on is performed is recognized by coordinates at the time of pressure detection (relative position on the touch panel, the same applies hereinafter). In the example of FIG. 6, it is recognized that the touch-on is performed at the point of the coordinate x1 in the vertical direction where the pressure exceeds the threshold value P. In this case, the coordinate x1 of the point touched on is acquired (S105: Yes, S106).

  Thereafter, it is determined whether or not the touch-off is performed (S107). In the example of FIG. 6, it is recognized that the touch-off is performed at the position of the coordinate x2 in the vertical direction in which the pressure is lower than the threshold value P. In this case (S107: Yes), the time at the time of touch-off is acquired from the time measuring function (S108), and the coordinate x2 at the time of touch-off is acquired (S109). If it is not touched off, it waits until it is done (S107: No).

When the time and the coordinate x2 at the time of touch-off are acquired, the CPU 11 calculates a coordinate displacement amount in the vertical direction from the acquired coordinates at the time of touch-on and touch-off (S110). In the example of FIG. 6, the difference (x2−x1) between the coordinate x2 and the coordinate x1 is the coordinate displacement amount. The acquired touch-off time and coordinates (or coordinate displacement amount) are recorded in the recording device 13 (S111). FIG. 7 shows the contents recorded in the recording device 13.
In this example, the vertical coordinate displacement amount is handled for vertical slide display, but the coordinate displacement amount is calculated and recorded in the same procedure for operations in the horizontal direction or other directions. To do.

  With reference to FIG. 4, the CPU 11 determines whether or not the coordinate displacement calculated in S <b> 110 exceeds the threshold Tx (S <b> 112). This threshold value Tx is a threshold value of the coordinate displacement amount for determining whether or not it can be regarded as a slide operation. If it exceeds, the user's operation is determined to be a slide operation, and each destination 102 on the displayed destination list screen 101 is slide-displayed (S112: Yes, S113). On the other hand, if it is less than the threshold value Tx, it is determined as a selection operation, and a selection process is performed on the corresponding item, that is, the destination 102 (S112: No, S114). In the example of FIG. 6, since the difference between the coordinate x2 and the coordinate x1 is less than the threshold value Tx, it is determined as an item selection operation, and the destination 102 selection process is executed. As a result, an item selection result illustrated in FIG. 8, that is, a state in which the top destination 102 is selected is displayed.

  Next, it is determined whether or not the elapsed time T1 from the touch-off time recorded in the recording device 13 in S111 exceeds a certain time (time threshold) Tt (S115). If exceeded, the process returns to S102 (S115: Yes). When not exceeding, it waits for detection of touch-on (S116: No). If touch-on is detected, the coordinates at the time of touch-on detection are acquired (S116: Yes, S117). Then, a coordinate displacement amount is calculated from the touch-off coordinates recorded in S111 and the touch-on coordinates acquired in S117 (S118).

  It is determined whether or not the calculated coordinate displacement amount exceeds the threshold value Tx (S119). If it exceeds, it is determined that the touch-on is detected because the intended operation is different from the previous touch-off detection, and the process returns to S107 (S119: Yes). On the other hand, when not exceeding, it waits until a touch-off is detected (S119: No, S120: No). During this time, if touch-on is detected, it is invalidated. This is because it can be determined that the touch-off detected in S107 and the touch-on detected in S116 are due to a series of gestures. Thereafter, when touch-off is detected, the process returns to S115 (S120: Yes).

In the example of FIG. 6, the time T1 from when the touch-off is detected at the coordinate x2 until the touch-on is detected at the coordinate x3 is shorter than the fixed time Tt. The difference between the coordinates x3 and the coordinates x2 is also smaller than the threshold value Tx. Therefore, the pressing operation input in the section from coordinate x3 to coordinate x4 is invalidated.
On the other hand, when the touch-on is detected at the coordinate x3 after the touch-on is detected at the coordinate x3, the coordinate displacement amount (x4-x3) is longer than the threshold value Tx. Therefore, the operation detected in the section from the coordinate x3 to the coordinate x4 is recognized as a slide operation, and on the destination list screen 101, the slide display of the destination 102 is executed.

  Next, instead of the example of FIG. 6, an example will be described in which the user command input device 14 detects a user operation in the manner shown in FIG. 9. The processing procedure is as shown in FIGS. The example of FIG. 9 is an example when touch-on is detected at coordinate x5 (S105) and touch-off is detected at coordinate x6 (S107). That is, in S112, the coordinate displacement amount (x6-x5) exceeds the threshold value Tx (S112: Yes).

In this case, the operation in the section from the coordinate x5 to the coordinate x6 is determined as a slide operation, and the destination list screen 102 in FIG. 6 is slid and displayed (S113). Next, touch-on is detected at coordinate x7.
Here, when the time T2 from when the touch-off is detected at the coordinate x6 until the touch-on is detected at the coordinate x7 is equal to or shorter than the predetermined time Tt, the determination result of the operation performed in the section from the coordinate x7 to the coordinate x8 is invalidated. . On the other hand, when the predetermined time Tt is exceeded, it is determined as an independent operation that is not a series. Therefore, it is determined whether or not the coordinate displacement amount in the section from the coordinate x7 to the coordinate x8 is equal to or less than the threshold value Tx (S112). In this example, since this coordinate displacement amount is smaller than the threshold value Tx, it is determined as an item selection operation, and the corresponding destination 102 on the destination list screen 101 is selected.

Next, transmission processing in the image processing apparatus 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 10 and 11. The “transmission process” here is a process of transmitting an image to a designated directory of the electronic device 3. FIG. 10 is an explanatory diagram of the procedure at this time. FIG. 11 is an exemplary view of a display screen.
In the transmission process, the transmission destination list screen 201 shown in FIG. 11 is displayed on the display of the user command input device 14 (S202). Next, it is confirmed whether or not the transmission start button 203 has been pressed (S203). If the button is pressed, the document is read using the reading device 15 and an image to be transmitted is created (S204). If not, the process returns to S202. Thereafter, the created image is transmitted to the electronic device 3 through the communication device 16 (S205), and the transmission process is terminated (S206).

As described above, in the first embodiment, the time and coordinates at the time of touch-on and touch-off on the touch panel are recorded in the recording device 13 for each detected operation. Then, based on the recorded information, the content of the operation is determined based on the threshold value Tx. At this time, the determination result of the subsequent operation is invalidated when the recording information by the subsequent previous operation and the recording information by the subsequent operation satisfy a preset condition. Thereby, when the user performs one slide operation, it is possible to prevent a situation in which it is erroneously recognized that two operations have been performed, such as an item selection operation and a slide operation.
There are two types of conditions to be set. In the example of FIG. 5, the first condition is that the time from detection of touch-off at coordinate x2 to detection of touch-on at coordinate x3 is less than a certain time Tt. The second condition is that the difference between the coordinates x3 and the coordinates x2 is equal to or less than a threshold value Tx that is a set displacement amount. These two conditions may be at least one.

  5 and 9 are examples when the display (touch panel) of the user command input device 14 uses a pressure-sensitive panel, but an electrostatic panel that can detect touch-on and touch-off is used. In this case, the same principle can be implemented.

[Second Embodiment]
A second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. The processes from S301 to S320 in FIGS. 12 and 13 are the same as S101 to S120 in FIGS. That is, the subsequent operation is invalidated in the series of operations. In the second embodiment, warning information is output when an operation after the determination result of the subsequent operation is invalidated is detected.
Referring to FIG. 13, the touch-off after the subsequent operation is invalidated is detected (S320), and the coordinates at the time of the touch-off are acquired (S321). Next, the coordinate displacement amount between the touch-on detected in S316 and the touch-off detected in S320 is acquired (S322), and it is determined whether the coordinate displacement amount is equal to or less than a threshold Tx (S323). If it is larger than the threshold value, the destination 102 of the destination list 101 shown in FIG. 5 is slid and displayed (S323: Yes, S324). If it is equal to or less than the threshold value Tx, the destination 102 selection process is executed (S325: No, S325).
In any case, since the determination result of the operation is once invalidated, if these processes are executed, the recording device 13 may erroneously detect the user's selection and erroneously select the destination. Is recorded (S326). Thereafter, the process returns to S315.

This warning information is displayed on the display at the time of the next operation, that is, transmission processing. The transmission process in this embodiment is executed according to the procedure shown in FIG. S401 to S402 are the same as S201 to S202 in FIG. S406 to S409 are the same as 203 to S206 in FIG.
In this embodiment, after displaying the destination list screen (S402), it is confirmed whether the warning information is recorded in the recording device 13 (S403). If it has been recorded, it is displayed (S403: Yes, S404). After the display, the warning information is deleted from the recording device 13 (S405), and the process proceeds to S406. If not recorded, the process proceeds to S406.

  As described above, in the second embodiment, after the operation in which the determination result is invalidated, the predetermined warning information is output, so that the user can be alerted to the operation. In addition, since the warning information is displayed on the touch panel when the content of the next operation following the invalidated operation is determined, it is possible to notify the user that there was a problem with the previous operation. Since this warning information is deleted after being displayed, there is no confusion for the user.

[Third Embodiment]
The procedure of the transmission process shown in FIG. 14 is an example, and can be implemented in other forms. An embodiment in this case is referred to as a third embodiment. FIG. 15 is an explanatory diagram of the procedure of transmission processing in the third embodiment. In FIG. 15, S501 to 503 are the same as S201 to S203 of FIG. S509 to S511 are the same as S204 to S206 in FIG. Therefore, the description of the overlapping part is omitted.
In the third embodiment, when the “transmission start” button 203 is pressed and a transmission start instruction is issued (S503: Yes), it is confirmed whether or not the warning information is recorded in the recording device 13 (S504). If not recorded (S504: No), the process proceeds to S509.
If it has been recorded (S504: Yes), a warning screen as exemplified in FIG. 16 is displayed (S505). After the warning screen is displayed, the warning information is deleted from the recording device 13 (S506).

  It is determined whether or not the transmission stop button 303 has been pressed and an input for canceling transmission has been made (S507). If input has been made, the processing is terminated (S507: Yes). If not input (S507: No), it is determined whether or not the transmission button 302 is pressed and an instruction to continue transmission is input (S508). If it has been input (S508: Yes), the process proceeds to S509 and the processing is continued (S509 to S510). If not, the process returns to S507, and the process is repeated until either the transmission stop button 303 or the transmission button 302 is pressed (S508: No).

  As described above, in the third embodiment, the warning information is displayed, and the user is allowed to select the transmission button 302 or the transmission stop button 303 to be pressed. Thus, erroneous transmission can be reliably prevented.

[Fourth Embodiment]
A fourth embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 17 and 18. 17 and 18, S601 to S613 are the same as the processes of S101 to S113 in FIG. Moreover, S622-S624 is the same as the process of S115-S117 of FIG. Therefore, the description of the overlapping part is omitted.
In the fourth embodiment, when it is determined in S612 that the coordinate displacement amount from touch-on to touch-off is equal to or less than the threshold (S612: No), information indicating that the first selection operation has been performed is recorded in the recording device 13. (S621). Thereafter, if it is determined that a certain time has elapsed from the recorded touch-off time (S622: Yes), whether or not information indicating that the first selection operation has been performed is recorded in the recording device 13 in S621. Is determined (S630). If not recorded, the process returns to S602 (S630: No). If it has been recorded (S630: Yes, S631), information indicating that the first selection operation has been performed is deleted from the recording device 13 (S631), and the process returns to S602.

  In S624, the coordinates at the time of touch-on detection are acquired, and touch-off is detected (S625). When not detected, it waits until it is detected (S625: NO). When touch-off is detected, the coordinates at the time of touch-off detection are acquired (S625: Yes, S626). Thereafter, a coordinate displacement amount is calculated from the coordinates at the time of touch-on detection and the coordinates at the time of touch-off detection acquired in S626 (S627).

  Next, it is determined whether or not the coordinate displacement calculated in S627 has exceeded the threshold Tx (S628). If it exceeds the threshold, the process returns to S622 (S628: Yes). If it is less than or equal to the threshold (S628: No), an item selection process is executed (S629), and the process proceeds to S631.

  As described above, in the fourth embodiment, after a predetermined time has elapsed from the first selection operation, information indicating that the selection operation has been performed is deleted, so the second and subsequent operations are erroneously invalidated. The situation can be avoided.

[Other Embodiments]

Display control means for displaying a plurality of individually selectable item images on a touch panel and enabling slide display of the plurality of item images displayed in the list;
A relative position on the touch panel at the time of touch-on and touch-off of the detected operation is acquired from detection means for detecting an operation involving touch-on and touch-off of the user on the touch panel, and the recording is performed for each detected operation. Means for storing in the device;
The displacement amount of the relative position from the touch-on to the touch-off of one stored operation and the slide operation for instructing the slide display when the displacement is exceeded, and the plurality of item images are smaller than that By comparing the selection operation for instructing any of the above and the set displacement amount for determination, it is made to function as a determination unit for determining whether the one operation is the slide operation or the selection operation,
In the determination means, when the displacement amount of the relative position from the touch-off time of the one operation to the touch-on time of the subsequent operation different from the one operation is less than a preset threshold value, the determination of the subsequent operation is performed. Characterized by invalidating the results,
Computer program.
