The figure which illustrates screen transition when the copy / move item by this embodiment is selected. 10 is a flowchart showing display control processing when a copy / move item is selected in a playback mode.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment in which a display control device of the present invention is realized by a digital video camera will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  <Device Configuration> First, the configuration of the video camera 100 equipped with the touch panel unit 120 will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 1, an imaging unit 110 includes a lens and an image sensor, captures a subject image, and generates a video signal. The access control unit 115 writes image data to the first recording medium A (130), the second recording medium B (131), and the third recording medium C (132) mounted on the video camera 100, and performs various recording operations. Controls reading of image data from the medium. The signal processing unit 113 has a video signal encoding function and an image data decoding function. The encoding function compresses and encodes the video signal input from the imaging unit 110 into MPEG moving image data, JPEG still image data, or the like to generate image data. The decoding function decodes the encoded image data read from each recording medium by the access control unit 115 according to the user's operation, converts the decoded video signal to an optimum size, and outputs it to the image processing unit 112 To do.

  The graphics unit 114 generates graphic data such as a menu button as a display item to be displayed later to be displayed on the touch panel unit 120. The image processing unit 112 generates composite image data in which the image data decoded by the signal processing unit 113 and the graphic data generated by the graphics unit 114 are superimposed. The touch panel unit 120 displays, as a user interface, an operation unit 122 that notifies the system control unit 111 of items touched by a user with a finger or a pen, and a composite image data generated by the image processing unit 112 on the touch panel. Part 121. The touch panel unit 120 detects a position coordinate touched by the user, and outputs an operation item or a display item assigned to the detected position to the system control unit 111.

  The database unit 116 registers and manages the type of image data and the number of files stored for each recording medium in the database. The system control unit 111 controls the overall operation of the video camera 100 including the above-described functional blocks according to the user's touch on the touch panel unit 120. Reference numeral 117 denotes a RAM which is a work memory for developing a program such as a display control process which will be described later. Reference numeral 118 denotes a ROM in which the program is stored.

  <Configuration of Touch Panel Unit> Here, the operation unit 122 configures a touch panel capable of detecting contact with the display unit 121 and pressure. The system control unit 111 can determine the following operations on the touch panel. Touching the touch panel with a finger or a pen (hereinafter referred to as touchdown). The touch panel is touched with a finger or a pen (hereinafter referred to as touch-on). The touch panel is moved while being touched with a finger or a pen (hereinafter referred to as a move). The finger or pen that was touching the touch panel is released (hereinafter referred to as touch-up). A state where nothing is touched on the touch panel (hereinafter referred to as touch-off). These operations and the coordinates of the position where the finger or pen touches the touch panel are notified to the system control unit 111 through an internal bus (not shown), and the system control unit 111 selects on the touch panel according to the notified coordinate information. Determine the operation that was performed. Regarding the move, the moving direction of the finger or pen moving on the touch panel can also be determined for each vertical component / horizontal component on the touch panel by changing the position coordinates. It is also assumed that a stroke is drawn when touch-up is performed on the touch panel through a certain move from touch-down. The operation of drawing a stroke quickly is called a flick. A flick is an operation of quickly moving a certain distance while touching a finger on the touch panel and then releasing it, in other words, an operation of quickly tracing a finger on the touch panel. If it is detected that the moving is performed at a predetermined speed or more over a predetermined distance, and a touch-up is detected as it is, it can be determined that a flick has been performed. Also, an operation of selecting a displayed item by touch and moving the display position of the item by a move operation is also referred to as dragging.

  <Recording Mode> Next, screen transition in the recording mode according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 2A illustrates a playback mode screen. In order to change the screen from the playback mode to the recording mode, the user may perform a touch-down operation on the recording mode button 204 on the playback mode screen. Reference numeral 201 denotes a housing of the display unit 121 of the video camera 100, and 202 denotes a liquid crystal panel unit of the display unit 121.

Reference numeral 208 denotes a menu button for selecting an operation item that can be operated in the playback mode. When the user performs a touch-down operation on the menu button 208, for example, an operation item such as image data copy or movement is selected Yes (details will be described later).

  When the user performs a touch-down operation on the recording mode button 204 displayed on the touch panel unit 120 on the playback mode screen, the video camera 100 switches to the recording mode and the recording mode screen is displayed (FIG. 2 ( b)). At this time, the touch panel unit 120 detects a touchdown on the recording mode button 204 and notifies the system control unit 111 of the touched position coordinates on the touch panel. When the system control unit 111 determines that the touched position coordinate is the recording mode button 204, the system control unit 111 shifts to the recording mode, and instructs the imaging unit 110 to shift to a state where imaging is possible. In addition, the system control unit 111 instructs the graphics unit 114 to generate graphic data for the recording start button 205 and the playback mode button 206 for transitioning to the playback mode. The image processing unit 112 superimposes the image data captured by the imaging unit 110 and the graphic data generated by the graphics unit 114 to generate composite image data, and displays the combined image data on the display unit 121. Here, the access control unit 115 stores the image data in the first recording medium A (130) previously selected as the recording destination.

  Recording is started when the user performs a touch-down operation on the recording start button 205 displayed on the touch panel unit 120. The touch panel unit 120 detects a touchdown on the recording start button 205 and notifies the system control unit 111 of the touched position coordinates on the touch panel. When the system control unit 111 determines that the touched position coordinate is the recording start button 205, the system control unit 111 starts recording and instructs the video signal input from the imaging unit 110 to the signal processing unit 113 to be encoded. In addition, the system control unit 111 stores the encoded image data in the first recording medium A (130).

  Next, the system control unit 111 instructs the graphics unit 114 to generate the recording stop button 207 and the graphic data of the “REC” character 211 indicating that recording is in progress. The image processing unit 112 superimposes the captured image “Ag”, the recording stop button 207 generated by the graphics unit 114, and the character “REC” 211 indicating that recording is in progress, to form a composite image. Data is generated and displayed on the display unit 121 (FIG. 2C).

  Next, recording is stopped when the user performs a touch-down operation on the recording stop button 207 displayed on the touch panel unit 120. When the touch panel unit 120 detects a touchdown by the user on the recording stop button 207 and notifies the system control unit 111 of the position coordinates on the touch panel, the system control unit 111 executes a process of stopping recording. At this time, the system control unit 111 instructs the imaging operation in the imaging unit 110 and the encoding process in the signal processing unit 113 to be stopped. Further, the system control unit 111 instructs the database unit 116 to register management information in the database. The system control unit 111 further instructs the graphics unit 114 to generate graphic data for the recording start button 205 and the playback mode button 206. The image processing unit 112 superimposes the captured image “Ag”, the recording start button 205 generated by the graphics unit 114, and the playback mode button 206 to generate composite image data, and the display unit 121. (FIG. 2D).

  The display control of the recording mode screen is executed as described above.

  <Playback Mode> Next, with reference to FIG. 3, screen transition in the playback mode according to the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 3A illustrates a recording mode screen. In this recording mode screen, when the user performs a touch-down operation on the playback mode button 301 displayed on the touch panel unit 120, the video camera 100 switches to the playback mode and the playback mode screen is displayed (FIG. 3). (B)). The touch panel unit 120 detects a touchdown on the playback mode button 301 and notifies the system control unit 111 of the touched position coordinates on the touch panel. When the system control unit 111 determines that the touched position coordinate is the playback mode button 301, the system control unit 111 shifts to the playback mode and instructs the imaging unit 110 to stop the imaging operation.

  The system control unit 111 decodes the image data stored in the first recording medium A (130) to the signal processing unit 113 in accordance with the management information registered in the database unit 116, and sets the optimum size. Instructs to convert and generate thumbnails. The signal processing unit 113 outputs the generated thumbnail to the image processing unit 112. Further, the system control unit 111 instructs the graphics unit 114 to generate graphic data for the recording mode button 302 and the menu button 303. The image processing unit 112 generates a composite image in which the thumbnail data generated by the signal processing unit 113 and the graphic data generated by the graphics unit 114 are superimposed, and displays them on the display unit 121. Thereby, the thumbnails A-a to f are displayed in a list on the touch panel unit 120 (index display in FIG. 3B). The thumbnails displayed as a list are display items for the user to select a target to be reproduced.

  Next, when the user performs a touchdown operation on the thumbnail “A-e” (304) from the displayed thumbnails, the system control unit 111 detects the position coordinates, and the selected item is displayed as the thumbnail “A”. -E ". Then, the system control unit 111 reads the original image data corresponding to the selected thumbnail from the first recording medium A (130) to the access control unit 115 and decodes it to the signal processing unit 113. Instruct. The system control unit 111 further instructs the graphics unit 114 to generate the graphic data of the menu button 303 and the character 305 “PLAY” indicating that playback is in progress. The image processing unit 112 superimposes the decoded image data “A-e”, the menu button 303 generated by the graphics unit 114, and the character “PLAY” 305 indicating that it is being reproduced, so as to superimpose the combined image. Data is generated and displayed on the display unit 121 (FIG. 3D).

  On the other hand, when the user performs a touchdown operation on the menu button 303 on the screen of FIG. 3B, a menu item 306 is displayed. In this example, “recording medium switching” or “copy / move” is selectably displayed as a function operable in the playback mode (FIG. 3E). The “recording medium switching” and “copy / move” displayed as the menu item 306 are merely examples, and are not limited to these.

  When the user selects “switch recording medium” from the menu item 306 and selects “second recording medium B” 307, the system control unit 111 sends the second recording medium B (131 to the access control unit 115. ) To switch the access target. The image data read from the second recording medium B (131) by the access control unit 115 is decoded by the signal processing unit 113, converted to an optimum size, as in FIG. The thumbnails B-a to f of the recording medium B (131) are generated. The graphics unit 114 generates graphic data of a character string 308 indicating that it is a thumbnail of the second recording medium B (131). The image processing unit 112 generates composite image data in which the recording mode button 302, the menu button 303, and the thumbnail are superimposed, and the display unit 121 displays a list of thumbnails B-a to f of the second recording medium B. (FIG. 3 (f)).

  <Copy / Move Procedure> Next, a procedure for copying / moving image data from the first recording medium A (130) to the second recording medium B (131) will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 4A illustrates a playback mode screen equivalent to that in FIG. When the user selects the menu button 403 in the thumbnail list of FIG. 4A and selects “copy / move” from the menu item 401, the video camera 100 switches to the copy / move mode. The graphics unit 114 generates each graphic data of a character string 404 indicating the copy / move mode and a character string 405 describing a procedure for copy / move, and displays the graphic data via the image processing unit 112. It displays on the part 121 (FIG.4 (b)).

  Next, when the user selects the thumbnail “Ab”, the screen is switched to a screen in which only the selected “Ab” thumbnail is left and the other thumbnails are not displayed (FIG. 4C). In FIG. 4C, “Move to second recording medium B” 406 and “Copy to second recording medium B” 407 in the left and right areas of the thumbnail of “Ab” selected by the user, respectively. These two display items are displayed. Here, only “move to second recording medium B” 406 and “copy to second recording medium B” 407 will be described, but the present invention is not limited to the illustrated functions. The items “move to the second recording medium B” 406 and “copy to the second recording medium B” 407 are displayed avoiding the place where the thumbnail “Ab” is originally displayed as shown in the figure. Is done. Further, the signal processing unit 113 generates thumbnails “Ba”, “Bb”, and “Bc” from the image data of the second recording medium B (131). These thumbnails display the location where the thumbnail “Ab” is originally displayed, “move to second recording medium B” 406, and “copy to second recording medium B” 407. It is displayed avoiding the place to be. The system control unit 111 determines the position coordinates of the thumbnail selected by the user, and displays a list of thumbnails of the second recording medium B (131) avoiding the place where the selected thumbnail is displayed (FIG. 4 ( c)).

  Next, while the user touches on the thumbnail “A-b”, the user moves it to “Copy to the second recording medium B” 405 and touches it up in the state where it is superimposed on the area of “Copy to the second recording medium B” 407. Then, the original image data of the thumbnail “A-b” can be copied to the second recording medium B (FIG. 4D). Note that the thumbnail “A-b” can be moved to the area of “Copy to second recording medium B” 405, and further copied by performing an operation of pressing the touch panel.

  On the other hand, when the user selects the thumbnail “Ac” from the list display of FIG. 4E, the screen is switched to a screen that leaves only the selected “Ac” thumbnail and hides the other thumbnails (FIG. 4). 4 (f)). In FIG. 4F, each item of “Move to second recording medium B” 406 and “Copy to second recording medium B” 407 indicates the place where the thumbnail of “Ac” is originally displayed. Avoid being displayed. In addition, the signal processing unit 113 generates thumbnails “Ba”, “Bb”, and “Bc” from the image data of the second recording medium B (131). These thumbnails display the location where the thumbnail of “A-c” is originally displayed and the items “move to second recording medium B” 406 and “copy to second recording medium B” 407. It is displayed avoiding the place. The system control unit 111 discriminates the position coordinates of the selected thumbnail, instructs the image processing unit 112 to display the selected thumbnail while avoiding the area where the selected thumbnail is displayed, and the second recording medium B (131). Are displayed in a list (FIG. 4F).

  Next, while the user touches the thumbnail “A-c”, the user moves to “move to the second recording medium B” 406, and touches it up in a state where it overlaps with the area “move to the second recording medium B” 406. Then (FIG. 4G), the original image data of the thumbnail “Ac” can be moved to the second recording medium B. Note that the thumbnail “A-c” can be moved to the area “move to the second recording medium B” 406 and further moved by pressing the touch panel.

  Further, when the thumbnail selected by the user is moved and touched up at a place other than “Move to second recording medium B” 406 or “Copy to second recording medium B” 407, the user has performed so far. Will be cancelled.

  Further, when the user increases the touch pressure on the screen of FIG. 4C, the thumbnail of the second recording medium B (131) is changed to the third recording medium C (132) as shown in FIG. ) To display the thumbnail list. In FIG. 4 (h), along with the thumbnails “C-a” and “C-b” corresponding to the two image data stored in the third recording medium C (132), “move to the third recording medium C”. "408" and "Copy to third recording medium C" 409 are displayed. Further, when the touch pressure is once reduced on the screen of FIG. 4H and the touch pressure is increased again, the display is switched to the thumbnail list display of the second recording medium B (131) of FIG. 4C. As described above, after the user selects a thumbnail, the selection of the recording medium to be displayed as a list of thumbnails can be switched by adjusting the strength of the pressure with which the touch panel is touched.

  <Display Control Processing> Next, display control processing when the copy / move menu is selected in the playback mode will be described with reference to FIGS. Note that the processing described below is realized by the system control unit 111 developing a program stored in the ROM 118 in the RAM 117 and executing the program.

  In FIG. 5, when the user touches the playback mode button 301, the mode changes to the playback mode. In S501, as the first display control of the first group, a playback mode screen displaying a list of thumbnails of image data stored in the first recording medium A (130) is displayed (FIG. 3B). FIG. 4 (b)). In step S <b> 502, it is determined whether the user touches the menu button 403 and “copy / move” is selected from the menu item 401. If it is determined that “Copy / Move” has been selected, the process proceeds to S504. If it is not selected, the process proceeds to S503, and other processes corresponding to various operations are executed.

  In S504, it is determined whether one of the thumbnails of the first recording medium A (130) displayed as a list as a display item is selected as a selection item (touchdown determination). In this touchdown determination, it is determined that a thumbnail has been selected by detecting the user's touchdown with respect to the thumbnail or by touching on a thumbnail area by a move after detecting a touchdown at a place other than the thumbnail. If it is determined that no thumbnail has been selected, the process proceeds to S503. If it is determined that a thumbnail has been selected, the process proceeds to S505.

  In S505, it is determined whether or not it has been moved with the touch-on detected in S504 (without detecting touch-up) (move determination). In other words, the move determination is a determination as to whether or not there has been an operation of dragging the thumbnail that has been touched on in S504. In S505, in order to determine whether or not there has been a substantial move, it is determined whether or not the movement is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold so as to exclude an unintended move due to a trembling of the user's finger or the like. Is desirable. If it is determined that there is a move, the process proceeds to S506, and if it is determined that there is no move, the process returns to S504. In S506, thumbnails other than the selected item, that is, thumbnails other than the thumbnail selected in S504 are hidden. The selected thumbnail continues to be displayed, and the display position is changed following the movement of the touch position.

  In S507, as the second display control of the second group, only the thumbnail “Ab” which is currently selected for the screen is left, and the other recording is different from the first recording medium A (130). The thumbnail of the medium B (131) is switched to a list-displayed screen (FIG. 4C). By switching the index display in this way, the user moves or copies after confirming what kind of image data is stored in a recording medium that is a destination candidate for the original image data of the currently selected thumbnail. be able to. That is, it is possible to prevent the inconvenience of copying or moving image data to a destination not intended by the user.

  At the same time, item instruction icons (406 and 407 in FIG. 4C) indicating processing that can be executed on the currently selected thumbnail (thumbnail that is currently touched on) are displayed. The instruction icon represents a moving destination or copy destination recording medium candidate of the selected thumbnail, and the currently selected thumbnail is moved to the instruction icon and touched up, whereby the original image data of the selected thumbnail is displayed. The process indicated by the instruction icon can be executed.

  The state in which the index display is switched to the second recording medium B (131) is as shown in FIG. 4C, and the instruction icons are “move to the second recording medium B” 406 and “second recording medium”. This corresponds to “Copy to B” 407. The instruction icon is displayed in at least a part of the area where the thumbnail other than the touch-on thumbnail is displayed before the index display is switched. In this way, by displaying the instruction icon in the area of the display item (thumbnail that has not been touched on) that has not been selected as the object to be moved or copied by touch-on, it is possible to display the icon with a large eye.

  Therefore, the user can easily select a process for the original image data of the currently selected thumbnail.

  In S508, it is determined whether or not the touch pressure is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold. If it is equal to or greater than the predetermined threshold value, the process returns to S507, and the index display is further switched to the thumbnail list of another recording medium as the third display control of the third group. For example, if the thumbnail of the second recording medium B (131) (FIG. 4C) is displayed in a list and the touch pressure changes to a threshold value or more, the thumbnail of the recording medium C (132) (FIG. 4 (FIG. 4). h)) is switched to the list display. The instruction icon is also updated when the screen is switched.

  If the touch pressure is not greater than or equal to the threshold value in S508, the process proceeds to S509. In S509, it is determined whether or not the currently selected thumbnail is touched up (touch-up determination). If it is determined that the touch-up is not performed, the process returns to S508, and if it is determined that the touch-up is performed, the process proceeds to S510. In S510, it is determined whether or not the touched-up position coordinates are the display position of the instruction icon. If it is determined that the touched position is not the display position of the instruction icon, the process proceeds to S511, and the operation performed so far is canceled in S511. Return to. If it is determined that the touched-up position is the display position of the instruction icon, the process proceeds to S512.

  In step S512, processing corresponding to the instruction icon at the touched-up position is executed. For example, while the thumbnail (FIG. 4C) of the second recording medium B (131) is being displayed, the thumbnail selected in S504 is moved to “move to the second recording medium B” 406 and touched up. Thus, the original image data of the selected thumbnail is moved to the second recording medium B.

  Here, “move” refers to recording the data stored in the source recording medium on the destination recording medium and erasing the corresponding data from the source recording medium. On the other hand, “copy” means that data stored in the source recording medium is also recorded in the destination recording medium, and the corresponding data in the source recording medium is left without being erased. That is.

  According to the above embodiment, when copying or moving image data between a plurality of recording media, the image data included in the copy / move destination candidates is displayed even in a small display area, and the user can copy / move. It is possible to identify whether the recording medium is suitable as a destination.

  In addition, by increasing the touch pressure of the selected thumbnail, it switches to the thumbnail list screen of another recording medium, and the instruction icon is also updated according to the screen switching, so the operation with fewer touches on the touch panel is possible. Can be made easier and faster.

  Further, the selected thumbnail is displayed by displaying an instruction icon at a position (FIGS. 4 (c), (f), and (h)) adjacent to the thumbnail that is a non-display area other than the selected thumbnail. The distance to be moved can be reduced, and the operation can be facilitated and speeded up.

  In S508 of FIG. 5, the screen is switched depending on whether or not the touch pressure is equal to or higher than the threshold value. However, when the duration of the touch-on without moving is longer than a predetermined time (for example, 1 second), the process proceeds to S507. You may return and switch to another thumbnail list index display. That is, after switching to index display in S507, if it remains stationary for a while with touch-on, the current index display is considered undesired and switched to another index display.

  In this embodiment, an example in which image data is moved or copied to a different recording medium has been described. However, the present invention can also be applied to movement or copying to a different folder in the same recording medium or another recording medium. It is. In this case, the above-described recording medium may be read as a folder and applied. The present invention can also be applied to a case where a group to which an image file belongs is moved to a different group regardless of the folder. Furthermore, the present invention is not limited to moving image files and still image files, and the present invention can also be applied to movement and copying of music files, document files, and other electronic data. In this case, the thumbnails described above may be applied by replacing them with display items such as icons representing the corresponding electronic data.

  In addition, the control by the system control unit 111 may be performed by one piece of hardware, or the entire apparatus may be controlled by a plurality of pieces of hardware sharing the processing.
