example 1

[0157] Note that in Figure 4D , an example of a pattern is shown by combining the non-adjusted range circle 81 and Figure 4Bobtained by adjusting the region 72 shown. However, the composite mode is not limited to this. For example, the schema could be Figure 4A shown in adjustment area 71, or can be synthesized by Figure 4C The pattern formed by the adjustment regions 73 and 74 and the non-adjustment range circle 81 is shown.

example 2

[0159] Also, in the above Figure 4D In the mode of , an example of the setting of an adjustment control is shown for turning the adjustment on and off at a boundary defined by a radius r. However, if Figure 4E As shown, an arrangement can be made in which 4 adjustment directions 64 are switched to 8 adjustment directions 65 at the boundary defined by this radius r, these directions 64 and 65 being two stages in the switching. Also, this control for switching the number of adjustment directions is not limited to switching from 4 directions to 8 directions. Specifically, the number of adjustment directions can be increased or decreased as required. Alternatively, a pattern can be configured to perform switching control for 3 or more stages.

example 3

[0161] In addition, in some cases, the display resolution or resolving power of the pointing device differs in the vertical (portrait) direction and the left-right (landscape) direction. For example, in this case, with Figure 4C The above-mentioned adjustment area modes shown are similar, and a mode may be set such that it differs between the adjustment area in the vertical direction (ie, the longitudinal or front-rear direction) and the adjustment area in the left-right direction. Alternatively, a modification example in which no adjustment area is provided in a certain direction can also be assumed. According to such a modification example as described above, the user's discomfort caused by the display configuration called a human interface or the hardware of the pointing device can be eliminated by the parameters stored in the parameter storage area 21 . Therefore, according to these modified examples described above, adjustments can be made in a short time and at low cos...

Abstract

A control unit 203 controls a position of a pointer to be displayed on a display 208A in response to an operation of a pointing device (PD) 11 by the user. In this case, the control unit 203 detects actual operation directions 50 and 50' of the PD 11 by means of a sensing module 13. Next, the control unit 203 determines whether or not the actual operation directions 50 and 50' are included in an adjustment region 70, which is preset with a movable range of the PD 11 as an object to be adjusted. Then, when it is determined that the actual operation directions are included in the adjustment region 70, the control unit 203 adjusts information indicating the actual operation directions to information indicating a direction 60 so predetermined as to correspond to the adjustment region in such a way that a moving direction of the pointer displayed on the display 208A in response to the actual operation directions is changed to the predetermined direction.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of pointing devices for inputting user operations into electronic tools. Background technique [0002] Heretofore, devices called pointing devices have been used for mobile phones, PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants), notebook personal computers (hereinafter referred to as notebook PCs), game machines, and the like. As an input device, the pointing device has the function of moving the controlled object (pointer) on the display screen in response to the user's (hereinafter also referred to as "operator" in some cases) operating force in any direction. , cursor, etc.) display position. As general-purpose pointing devices, analog pointing devices such as mice, trackballs, and joysticks have been widely used. [0003] In controlling such a conventional pointing device, it is usually necessary to calculate a relative operation position with respect to a specific reference point by using a two-dimensiona...
