Problems solved by technology

In addition, when you want to add gestures for recognition, you need to set up a partial area for additional gestures
[0017] In this way, in Patent Document 1, the same number of corresponding partial regions as the number of types of gesture operations used is required, and arbitrary gesture operations cannot be input from any position on the touch panel.
Therefore, there is a problem that the operator needs to be aware of the position of the finger on the touch panel and use it differently, which impairs the convenience of input and leads to a decrease in input efficiency.

Embodiment 1

[0164] figure 1 It is a figure explaining an example of the appearance of the information input device 190 of Example 1 of this invention.

[0165] The information input device 190 includes a housing 189 , a touch panel 100 as a touch sensor, and buttons 150 for operation determination.

[0166] When the operator's finger touches (touches) the touch panel 100 , the touch panel 100 detects the touched position. When the operator draws on the touch panel 100 with a finger, the touch position is continuously detected at predetermined time intervals, and a sequence of touch positions is obtained.

[0167] The information input device 190 uses the sequence of touch positions to identify the type of touch operation (hereinafter also referred to as touch operation identification), and controls the operation object of the information input device 190 by using the recognition result of the touch operation.

[0168] The operation target is a GUI object displayed on the screen of the d...

Embodiment 2

[0331] The information input device 190 according to the second embodiment of the present invention includes a housing 189 , a capacitive touch panel 100 as a touch sensor, and buttons 150 for operation determination, as in the first embodiment.

[0332] Similar to the first embodiment, the information input device 190 recognizes a pointing operation for moving a cursor displayed on the screen as a touch operation. In addition, the information input device 190 recognizes three operations: a vertical sliding operation to draw the touchpad 100 in a straight line in the vertical direction, a horizontal sliding operation to draw the touchpad 100 in a straight line in the horizontal direction, and a rotation operation to draw the touchpad 100 in a circular arc trajectory.

[0333] Figure 22 It is a diagram showing a configuration example of the information input device 190 in one embodiment of the present invention.

[0334] With the composition in embodiment 1 ( image 3 ) is d...

Embodiment 3

[0404] Figure 39 It is a figure which shows an example of the appearance of the information input device 190 which concerns on Example 3 of this invention.

[0405] Such as Figure 39 Similarly to (a), the information input device 190 includes a housing 189 , a capacitive touch panel 100 , buttons 150 for operation determination, and a surrounding contact sensor 121 for detecting the operator's grip.

[0406] The difference from Embodiment 1 is as follows. The information input device 190 uses the surrounding contact sensor 121 to detect whether the information input device 190 is being held by the right hand, the left hand, or both hands, and performs touch operation recognition corresponding to the holding hand.

[0407] Such as Figure 39 The peripheral touch sensor 121 shown in (b) is a sensor that arranges one-dimensional detection points on the outer edge of the housing 189 of the information input device 190 and outputs the touch of the operator's finger for each det...

Abstract

The disclosed information input device (190) is provided with a touchpad and enables multiple types of gesture operations to be rapidly inputted regardless of the position from which the operations are initiated, and without detracting from the ease of input. The disclosed device is provided with: a touch pad (100); a touch position detection unit (101) which detects touch information which is information on a user's finger coming into contact with a touch sensor; a touch operation initiation position detection unit (103) which uses touch information to detect a touch operation initiation position which is the position where the touch operation of a user is initiated; a touch operation identification criteria storage unit (115) which associates touch operation identification criteria with the touch operation initiation position, and stores the touch operation identification criteria, which are for recognising a plurality of touch operations; and a touch operation identification unit (114) which uses the touch operation identification criteria associated with the touch operation initiation position detected by the touch operation initiation position detection unit (103) to identify touch operation, and finds the touch operation which was carried out by the user.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an information input device and the like, and more particularly to an information input device and the like that use a touch sensor to operate a graphical user interface (hereinafter referred to as GUI: Graphical User Interface) displayed on a screen. Background technique [0002] With the increase in size and performance of displays, TVs are not simply used for viewing broadcast programs and movies. [0003] Specifically, televisions having new functions such as browsing various information connected to the Internet, cooperating with home devices connected to the Internet, and browsing photos, games, etc., are gradually being realized and used. applications etc. [0004] Under such circumstances, in order to operate a variety of applications and functions, it is necessary to develop an input device capable of flexible input operations with a higher degree of freedom, in addition to conventional input devices composed ...
