Problems solved by technology

However, for example, when a menu is displayed on the screen according to a predetermined gesture, if multiple users simultaneously issue a predetermined gesture to display the menu at too close a position, problems such as partially overlapping displayed menus occur.
In addition, when multiple users are viewing and operating their respective workspaces on the screen, they may inadvertently intrude into the workspaces of surrounding users because they are too enthusiastic about their own workspaces.

example 1：( pic 9～ pic 11C)、 example 2： application ( pic 12A and pic 12B)、 example 3

[0123] Next, regarding the operation of the user interface device 10, use Figure 9 ~ Figure 14C To illustrate three use cases (use case). The three examples are, Example 1: Operation of the menu screen by gesture input ( Figure 9 ~ Figure 11C ), Example 2: Drawing application based on gesture input ( Figure 12A and Figure 12B ), Example 3: "Stay-with-Me TV" input according to the user's location ( Figure 13A ~ Figure 14C ).

[0124] Figure 9 This is a diagram illustrating an example of feedback based on a hand gesture of the user of the user interface device 10 . In this example, the display control unit 25 notifies the user by changing the display of the hand on the screen (referred to as "feedback display") in accordance with the deviation of the user's hand position from the appropriate position. .

[0125] can be as Figure 9 As shown in the upper part of , the greater the deviation from the reasonable position, the lighter the hand feedback display is. Alte...

example 2

[0138] (Example 2: Drawing application based on gesture input)

[0139] Figure 12A and Figure 12B It is a figure explaining the operation example of the user interface device 10 in Example 2. In addition, in the following description, when the application is controlled by the work areas assigned to two users A and B, the process of notifying user A that the work area assigned to user B is too close will be described. On the other hand, since the notification to the user B is the same as that of the user A, description thereof will be omitted.

[0140] In this example, the user A is executing a drawing application that draws on the display unit 2 according to hand movements, and the user B is watching broadcast content (news program) at the adjacent position.

[0141] First, the distance i may be the distance from the center of gravity of user A to the left end of the work area (display area for viewing) assigned to user B. In this case, since it is a painting application...

Abstract

A user interface device (1) includes: a display unit (2) which displays a first work region allocated to a user and a second work region different from the first work region; a detection unit (3) which detects a user position; a calculation unit (4) which calculates an appropriate distance between the user and the second work region in accordance with the type of an application program controlled by the user via the first work region; and a report unit (5) which reports to the user that the distance between the user position detected by the detection unit (3) and the second work region is shorter than the appropriate distance calculated by the calculation unit (4).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a user interface device for a large-screen display operated by multiple people. Background technique [0002] With the increase in screen size and thickness of displays, TV sets are not only used for audio-visual programs and movies, but also for the following new ways of use are gradually expanding: Simultaneous use of multiple information, storage of a large amount of information, etc. Glances, communication utilizing a life-like sense of presence, electronic bulletin boards that constantly display information, interior decorations such as wallpapers or picture frames, etc. [0003] In addition, with the construction of a home network, and sharing the user's operation history or status detected by each device through the network, it is also realistic to comprehensively detect user attribute information and status. [0004] In such a case, it is necessary to use more complicated functions easily and conveniently in or...
