Embodiment Construction

[0031]An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

(1) Outer Appearance of PND

[0032]In FIG. 1, a reference numeral 1 denotes a portable navigation device (hereinafter, referred to as “PND”) according to the embodiment of the present invention. The PND 1 has a display section 2 on which a 4.8 liquid crystal display is mounted and uses the display section 2 to present information such as a map, a current position icon PST, and a driving route toward a destination.

[0033]The PND 1 is held by a cradle 3 attached to a dashboard of a vehicle by a sucker 3A and is electrically connected thereto. In this state, the PND operates by a power supplied from a battery of the vehicle via the cradle 3. Further, when removed from the cradle 3, the PND 1 can operate by a power supplied from a battery incorporated therein.

(2) Circuit Configuration of PND

[0034]As shown in FIG. 2, a controller 16 having a microcomputer configuration ...

Abstract

An information processing device includes: a display unit having a touch panel on its front surface; a movement amount calculation unit that calculates the movement amount of a touch operation based on a touch point at which the touch operation is performed with respect to the touch panel and a touch release point at which the touch operation is released from the touch panel; an operation determination unit that determines whether the touch operation is a depression operation or a gesture operation depending on the calculated movement amount; and a command recognition unit that recognizes whether a received command is a command corresponding to the depression operation or the gesture operation.

Description

CROSS REFERENCES TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]The present invention contains subject matter related to Japanese Patent Application JP2007-330849 filed in the Japanese Patent Office on Dec. 21, 2007, the entire contents of which being incorporated herein by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The present invention relates to an information processing device and a touch operation detection method, which are suitably applied to, e.g., a portable navigation device.[0004]2. Description of the Related Art[0005]A portable navigation device (hereinafter, referred to as “PND”) is designed to be detachably attached to the dashboard of a vehicle via a cradle.[0006]The PND of such a type serves as a vehicle navigation device when being attached to the dashboard via a cradle and serves as a personal navigation device when being detached from the dashboard.[0007]This type of PND aims more for portability than remote-controllability. Thus, a remote controller ...
