Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an input display device having a human-machine interface function, and more particularly to an input display device including a three-dimensional operating portion. Background Art

[0002] An input display device is disclosed in which a convex portion is provided on a touch panel arranged to overlap a display, and an image such as an operation icon is displayed at a position overlapping the convex portion (for example, Patent Document 1). The user performs input by touching the convex portion.

[0004] Patent Literature:

[0005] Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2020-190832 Summary of the invention

[0006] Problems to be solved by the invention:

[0007] In a capacitive touch-operated display device, a user interface (hereinafter referred to as a three-dimensional UI) has been proposed in which a protective glass has a concave-convex shape so that a touch position can be recognized tactilely and the touch position can be understood without looking at it.

[0008] Figure 1 (A) is an operation example of a conventional flat touch panel, in which the user U visually recognizes the operation icon 12 displayed on the display 10 and performs input by touching the position of the operation icon 12 (a musical note in the example shown in the figure).

[0009] Figure 1 (B) is an operation example of a touch panel having a three-dimensional operation unit (three-dimensional parts) based on a three-dimensional UI. Figure 1 (C) is a schematic cross-sectional view of a three-dimensional operating unit. A transparent protective lens 26 including a concave-convex three-dimensional operating unit is installed on a touch sensor (touch panel) 24 including an electrostatic capacitance type sensor, and the display 20 displays an operation icon 22 at a position overlapping with the protective lens 26. The user U inputs by touching the protective lens 26 with a finger. When detecting a touch, a highly sensitive electrostatic sensor that can detect the electrostatic capacitance (distance) of a finger even if the distance is away from the sensor is used, and it is possible to determine whether a touch is present even from above the thick protective lens 26. As a result, in a situation where it is difficult to look at the vehicle-mounted display while driving, it is possible to reduce false touches (false operations).

[0010] In addition, in a three-dimensional UI, since a three-dimensional operation unit does not require a movable mechanism like a mechanical switch, there are few restrictions on the installation position of the three-dimensional operation unit, and the three-dimensional operation unit (three-dimensional parts) can be freely arranged on the touch panel. Figure 2 (A) is an example in which a button-shaped three-dimensional operating unit 30 and rectangular three-dimensional operating units 32 and 34 are arranged on a touch sensor (touch panel) 24. The three-dimensional operating units 30, 32, and 34 are not limited to being integrally formed with the protective glass, and can be attached to the protective glass in a detachable manner by adhesive or the like. For example, Figure 2 The layout shown in (A) is changed to Figure 2 The layout shown in (B) can freely arrange (rearrange) the three-dimensional operation unit to a position that is easy to use for each user.

[0011] Based on the degree of freedom of the installation position of the three-dimensional operating unit, the user freely arranges the three-dimensional operating unit according to preference. As a result, the three-dimensional operating units may be close to each other. In this case, there is a possibility that the detection areas of the operation positions may interfere with each other.

[0012] Figure 3 The present invention shows a layout example in which a rotating three-dimensional operating unit 40 is adjacent to a slider-shaped (rectangular) three-dimensional operating unit 50 below it on a touch sensor (touch panel) 24. When operating the rotating three-dimensional operating unit 40, the user draws a rotational pattern on the surface of the rotating member with a finger F. On the other hand, when operating the slider-shaped three-dimensional operating unit 50, the user draws a linear pattern on the top surface of the slider with a finger F. However, in such a layout, the detection area of ​​the lower part of the three-dimensional operating unit 40 of the rotating member and the center part of the top surface of the three-dimensional operating unit 50 of the slider overlap when viewed from the front. If the operation of the three-dimensional operating unit of one side is detected when the other three-dimensional operating unit is operated, the detection accuracy of the operation of the three-dimensional operating unit is reduced.

[0013] Therefore, a method is needed to detect only the intended operation of the three-dimensional operating unit even in a layout where the detection areas of the three-dimensional operating unit overlap (or are very close). Figure 3 In the example of FIG. 5 , when the slider-shaped three-dimensional operating unit 50 is operated, it is necessary to prevent the operation of the rotation-shaped three-dimensional operating unit 40 from being detected.

[0014] The present invention is to solve such conventional problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide an input display device capable of accurately detecting an operation on a three-dimensional operation unit.

[0015] Means used to solve the problem:

[0016] The input display device involved in the present invention comprises: a display for displaying an image, an electrostatic capacitive touch sensor installed on the display, a plurality of three-dimensional operating units installed on the touch sensor and capacitively coupled to the touch sensor, a distance detection mechanism for detecting the distance from the operating object to the touch sensor when the operating object performs an operation on the three-dimensional operating unit, a position detection mechanism for detecting the position of the operating object when the operating object performs an operation on the three-dimensional operating unit, and a judgment mechanism for judging the three-dimensional operating unit operated by the operating object based on the distance detected by the distance detection mechanism and the position detected by the position detection mechanism.

[0017] In a certain embodiment, the input display device further includes: an analysis mechanism that analyzes the moving direction of the position detected by the position detection mechanism, and the judgment mechanism further considers the moving direction analyzed by the analysis mechanism to judge the three-dimensional operation unit operated by the operation object. In a certain embodiment, the three-dimensional operation unit has an operation unit that presents a three-dimensional shape for the operation object to operate, and the heights of the operation units of the three-dimensional operation units are different. In a certain embodiment, when the three-dimensional operation units are adjacently arranged, the detection position of the operation object of the three-dimensional operation unit of one side overlaps with the detection position of the operation object of the three-dimensional operation unit of the other side. In a certain embodiment, the three-dimensional operation units include a three-dimensional operation unit of a rotating shape and a three-dimensional operation unit of a slider shape, and the analysis mechanism analyzes whether the moving direction of the detected position is a circumferential direction or a linear direction. When the moving direction is analyzed as a circumferential direction, the judgment mechanism judges that the three-dimensional operation unit of the rotating shape is operated, and when the moving direction is analyzed as a linear direction, the judgment mechanism judges that the three-dimensional operation unit of the slider shape is operated. In a certain embodiment, the display is a vehicle-mounted display.

[0018] Effect of the invention:

[0019] According to the present invention, the operated 3D operating unit is determined based on the finger distance from the operating target to the touch sensor when the 3D operating unit is operated. Therefore, even when the 3D operating units are arranged close to each other, the operation of the operated 3D operating unit can be accurately detected. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0037] The input display device of the present invention provides an interface between a human and a machine. The input display device of the present invention is not particularly limited, and is applicable to, for example, an electronic device equipped with a touch panel display. The electronic device equipped with a touch panel display is, for example, a vehicle-mounted device having a navigation function, an audio / video function, a television function, etc.

[0038] Next, an embodiment of the present invention is described. In this embodiment, when the detection areas of multiple three-dimensional operating units overlap or are arranged close to each other, the operation of the three-dimensional operating unit is comprehensively judged based on the following two viewpoints, and the operation of the intended three-dimensional operating unit can be detected. 1. Not only the touch position in the up-down direction and the left-right direction (XY space) is detected, but also the distance of the finger relative to the touch sensor in the front-back direction (Z direction) is detected to judge the three-dimensional operating unit.

[0039] 2. Detect the direction of finger movement and determine the three-dimensional operation part.

[0040] Figure 4 (A) and (B) show examples where a rotary 3D operation unit 132 and a slider 134 are arranged close to each other on the protective glass 130. The two 3D operation units 132 and 134 may be integrally formed with the protective glass 130 or attached to the protective glass 130 via an adhesive or the like.

[0041] The rotating 3D operation unit 132 is a circular protrusion with a height t1, and a circular edge is formed on the outer periphery of the surface. When the user operates the 3D operation unit 132, he rotates the finger F by tracing along the outer periphery edge to input the rotation amount of the finger.

[0042] The slider-shaped three-dimensional operating unit 134 is a substantially rectangular parallelepiped protrusion having a height t2, which is greater than the height t1 of the rotary-shaped three-dimensional operating unit 132. When the user operates the three-dimensional operating unit 134, the user moves the finger F by tracing along the left-right direction or the front-back direction on the top surface 134A to input the movement amount of the finger.

[0043] The capacitive touch sensor 120 is disposed directly below the protective glass 130 and can detect Figure 4 The touch position of the finger in the two-dimensional space (XY space) in the left-right direction and the up-down direction shown in (A) can be detected. Figure 4 (B) shows the distance of the finger in the front-rear direction (Z direction) of the protection glass 130.

[0044] When the user operates the rotating three-dimensional operating unit 132, as shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown in FIG. 1 (C), the finger distance D1 from the finger F to the touch sensor 120 is approximately equal to the sum of the thickness of the cover glass 130 and the height t1 of the three-dimensional operation unit 132 .

[0045] On the other hand, when the user operates the three-dimensional operating unit 134 in the shape of a slider, the user traces the top surface 134A in the left-right direction or the front-back direction with the finger F, so the finger distance D2 from the finger F to the touch sensor 120 is greater than the finger distance D1 when the three-dimensional operating unit 132 in the shape of a rotation is operated. In other words, the finger distance D1 when the three-dimensional operating unit 132 in the shape of a rotation is smaller than the finger distance D2 when the three-dimensional operating unit 134 in the shape of a slider is operated, and the difference between the finger distances D1 and D2 is reflected as the difference in electrostatic capacitance detected by the touch sensor 120 (electrostatic capacitance at the finger distance D1>electrostatic capacitance at the finger distance D2). Therefore, by setting a threshold between the electrostatic capacitances corresponding to the finger distances D1 and D2, it is possible to determine which three-dimensional operating unit is being operated.

[0046] Next, the analysis of the finger's moving direction is described. In the above judgment based on the difference between the finger distances D1 and D2, consider the case where the user moves the finger F close to the touch sensor 120 when operating the slider. In order to cope with this situation, the detected finger's moving direction is also observed, and the type of the three-dimensional operating unit being operated is determined. For example, Figure 4 As shown in (D), if the operation is for the three-dimensional operating unit 132 of the rotating shape, the detected coordinate point P of the finger shows a circular trajectory movement, and if the operation is for the three-dimensional operating unit 134 of the slider shape, the detected coordinate point P of the finger shows a parallel movement. Therefore, if the movement direction of the finger is a circular trajectory, it can be determined as a three-dimensional operating unit of the rotating operation type, and if the movement direction of the finger is a horizontal movement or a linear movement, it can be determined as a three-dimensional operating unit of the sliding type.

[0047] As described above, according to this embodiment, even when the detection areas of adjacently arranged stereoscopic operation units overlap or are close to each other, it is possible to determine the stereoscopic operation unit intended by the user and detect the operation to the stereoscopic operation unit. Figure 4 The present determination condition can also be applied to the combination of the rotating 3D operation unit 132 and the slider 3D operation unit 134 shown, and to other combinations of 3D operation units that can generate a difference in the finger distance in the front-back direction. Examples of other combinations of 3D operation units will be described in the embodiments described later.

[0048] [Example]

[0049] Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figure 51 is a block diagram showing the structure of an input display device according to an embodiment of the present invention. The input display device 100 of this embodiment is configured to include: a display 110 for displaying images or videos, a touch sensor 120 including an electrostatic capacitance type sensor mounted on the display 110, a protective glass 130 mounted on the surface of the touch sensor 120 and equipped with a three-dimensional operation unit (three-dimensional component) 136 as a three-dimensional UI, and a controller 140 for controlling image display of the display 110 or touch detection of the touch sensor 120.

[0050] The display 110 is not particularly limited, and includes, for example, a liquid crystal panel or an organic EL panel, and displays image data supplied from the controller 140. For example, an operation icon representing an input operation may be displayed at a corresponding position of the stereoscopic operation unit 132 / 134.

[0051] The touch sensor 120 includes, for example, a plurality of sensors (detection units) formed at positions where a plurality of electrode lines on the X side and the Y side intersect, and detects electrostatic capacitance when a user's finger or hand approaches or contacts the protective glass 130 or the three-dimensional operation unit 136. The touch sensor 120 is mounted on the display 110 and provides an input interface for the user to input an icon or the like displayed on the display 110.

[0052] A protective glass 130 is attached to the surface of the touch sensor 120. The protective glass 130 may be a part of the touch sensor 120 or may be prepared separately from the touch sensor 120.

[0053] The protective glass 130 is provided with a plurality of stereoscopic operation units 136 such as a rotary stereoscopic operation unit 132 and a slider-shaped stereoscopic operation unit 134. The stereoscopic operation unit 134 includes a protrusion that capacitively couples with the touch sensor 120 and allows the user to operate at a position away from the protective glass 130.

[0054] The stereoscopic operation unit 136 can be used as follows Figure 5 As shown in (B) of FIG. 1 , the protective glass 130 is formed integrally therewith, or as shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown in (C), the bottom surface of the three-dimensional operation unit 136 can be attached to the protective glass 130 by a double-sided adhesive 138. In this case, the three-dimensional operation unit 136 can be made of a material different from the protective glass 130, such as acrylic, polycarbonate, etc.

[0055] The shape, size, thickness, material, etc. of the three-dimensional operating unit 136 are not particularly limited. Figure 5(A) shows a rotating stereoscopic operation unit 132 or a slider-shaped stereoscopic operation unit 134. The stereoscopic operation unit 136 is Figure 5 In addition to the combination of the three-dimensional operating unit 132 / 134 as in (A), for example, Figure 6 (A) shows a combination of a knob rotating member 200 and a flat slider 210. Figure 6 (B) shows a combination of a knob rotating member 220 and a flat rotating member 230, such as Figure 6 (C) shows a combination of a flat slider 240 and a convex slider 250 .

[0056] The knob rotating member 200 has a grip-type rotating shape for pinching (holding) the wall surface for operation, and the protrusion of the knob rotating member 200 has a certain height. On the other hand, the flat slider 210 is a roughly rectangular protrusion for tracing in the vertical / horizontal direction on the top surface for operation, and the height of the protrusion is smaller than that of the knob rotating member 200. Figure 6 In the case of the layout as in (A), the touch position when pinching the lower part of the knob rotating member 200 is very close to the touch position when operating the top surface of the flat slider 210 .

[0057] Figure 6 The flat rotating member 230 shown in (B) has a rotating shape, has an edge portion on the outer periphery for tracing along the edge portion, and the height of the protrusion is smaller than that of the knob rotating member 220. In this case, the touch position when pinching the knob rotating member 220 directly below is also very close to the position traced on the flat rotating member 230.

[0058] Figure 6 The convex slider 250 shown in (C) is used to place fingers on the upper, lower, left and right surfaces of the slider-shaped convex portion to perform a drawing operation, and the height of the protrusion is greater than that of the flat slider 240. In this case, the position when operating the top surface of the convex slider 250 is also very close to the position drawn on the flat slider 240.

[0059] In addition to the above, there are also three-dimensional operating parts such as flat buttons and convex buttons. When these three-dimensional operating parts are combined, the detection areas are sometimes very close. Flat buttons are used for touch operations on a flat surface like ordinary touch panels (see Figure 1 (B)), convex button such as Figure 6 (D) is used to place a finger on the keyboard for touch operation.

[0060] The three-dimensional operation unit 136 is not necessarily transparent, and characters, symbols, graphics, etc. representing the content of the input operation may be drawn thereon. In addition, the operation surface of the three-dimensional operation unit 136 is not necessarily flat, and may include slight concave and convex, or be inclined in a straight line, or be curved.

[0061] The coordinate position of the three-dimensional operation unit 136 on the touch sensor 120 is registered in the memory 180 of the controller 140. When a finger approaching the touch sensor 120 is detected, the controller 140 determines whether the finger is operating the three-dimensional operation unit 136. In addition, the height ( Figure 4 The controller 140 can display an icon representing an input operation near the stereoscopic operation unit 136 via the display 110. The user visually recognizes the icon depicted on the stereoscopic operation unit 136 or the icon displayed on the display 110, and performs an input operation via the stereoscopic operation unit 136.

[0062] The controller 140 includes hardware and / or software resources, such as a microcontroller including a processing unit, ROM / RAM, etc., to perform overall processing of the input display device. For example, the controller 140 performs display processing of the display 110, performs touch detection or operation judgment (detection of touch position or finger distance, judgment of the operated three-dimensional operation unit, judgment of whether there is a touch operation) according to the output value of the touch sensor 120, or performs image display / image switching processing accordingly.

[0063] In one embodiment, the controller 140 Figure 5 As shown, the touch panel 120 includes a touch detection unit 150, a three-dimensional operation unit determination unit 160, an operation determination unit 170, and a display control unit 180. The touch detection unit 150 drives a plurality of electrode lines on the X side and / or the Y side of the touch panel 120, measures the electrostatic capacitance of each detection unit (sensor) of the driven electrode line, and detects a touch position based on the measurement result.

[0064] The touch detection unit 150 further includes a finger distance detection unit 152, a touch position detection unit 154, and a moving direction analysis unit 156. The finger distance detection unit 152 detects the size of the electrostatic capacitance. Figure 4 The finger distances D1 and D2 when operating the three-dimensional operation units 132 and 134 are shown in (C). The touch position detection unit 154 detects the touch position of the finger on the three-dimensional operation unit 132 and 134. The moving direction analysis unit 156 analyzes the touch position detected by the touch position detection unit 154. Figure 4 The moving direction shown in (D) and (E) (for example, circular direction or linear direction).

[0065] The stereoscopic operation unit determination unit 160 determines which stereoscopic operation unit is operated based on the detection result of the touch detection unit 150. Specifically, the stereoscopic determination unit 160 determines the operated stereoscopic operation unit based on the finger distance detected by the finger distance detection unit 152, the touch position detected by the touch position detection unit 154, and the movement direction of the finger analyzed by the movement direction analysis unit 156.

[0066] The operation determination unit 170 determines a touch operation to the display 110 or an operation to the stereoscopic operation unit 136 based on the detection result of the touch detection unit 150 and the determination result of the stereoscopic operation unit determination unit 160. For example, the operation determination unit 170 determines a touch operation to the display 110 or a touch operation to the stereoscopic operation unit 136 based on a change in the electrostatic capacitance of the corresponding detection unit (sensor), or determines a finger swiping operation or a rotation operation or a sliding operation of the stereoscopic operation unit 136 based on a change in the detected touch position. In addition, the operation determination unit 170 stores information related to the coordinates and size of the stereoscopic operation unit 136.

[0067] The display control unit 180 causes the display 110 to display an image or video, or displays an icon at a position corresponding to the stereoscopic operation unit 136 as needed. When no icon is drawn on the operation surface of the stereoscopic operation unit 136, the display 110 can display an icon representing the operation content of the stereoscopic operation unit 136. In addition, the display control unit 180 can switch the image displayed on the display 110 to another image in response to the operation determination unit 170 determining the operation.

[0068] Next, refer to Figure 7 The following flow describes the detection algorithm of the operation of the three-dimensional operation unit of the input display device involved in this embodiment. First, the touch detection unit 150 determines whether a touch is detected based on the measured electrostatic capacitance (S100). Specifically, when the electrostatic capacitance is greater than a threshold value, it is determined that a touch is detected.

[0069] When it is determined that a touch is detected, the finger distance detection unit 152 detects the finger distance Z based on the size of the electrostatic capacitance and records it in the memory (S110). The finger distance Z is the distance from the touch sensor 120 to the finger F (see Figure 4 (C)). In addition, the touch position detection unit 154 detects the coordinates XY of the touch position and records it in the memory (S120). For example, when the user operates the three-dimensional operation unit 132 in a rotating shape (refer to Figure 4 ), the finger distance detection unit 152 detects the finger distance D1, and the touch position detection unit 154 detects the coordinate P where the finger F touches the three-dimensional operation unit 132.

[0070] Next, the moving direction analysis unit 156 determines whether a certain amount or a certain number of touch detection coordinates XY are recorded (S130). If a certain amount is recorded, the moving direction analysis unit 156 analyzes the moving direction of the finger F based on the change of the coordinates XY of the touch position (S140). For example, if the analysis is Figure 4 The movement in the circumferential direction shown in (D) or Figure 4 Movement in the straight line direction shown in (E).

[0071] Next, the three-dimensional operation unit determination unit 160 determines the three-dimensional operation unit (part) being operated based on the finger distance Z and the finger movement direction (S150). The three-dimensional operation unit determination unit 160 determines the three-dimensional operation unit (part) being operated based on the height ( Figure 4 The reference value calculated by the detection of the finger distance (t1, t2) is compared with the reference value calculated by the detection of the finger distance to determine the operated three-dimensional operating unit. In addition to the determination of the finger distance, the type of the three-dimensional operating unit can also be determined according to the moving direction of the finger, and finally the three-dimensional operating unit is determined to be operated. If the moving direction of the finger is a circular trajectory, the operation of the rotating three-dimensional operating unit is set as an emphasized factor. If the moving direction of the finger is a horizontal movement, the operation of the slider type three-dimensional operating unit is set as an emphasized factor.

[0072] The determination result of the stereoscopic operation unit determination unit 160 is provided to the operation determination unit 170, and the operation determination unit 170 determines the operation related to the stereoscopic operation unit determined by the stereoscopic operation unit determination unit 160 based on the detection result of the touch detection unit 150. For example, when the stereoscopic operation unit 132 determined to be in a rotational shape is operated, the rotation angle (rotation amount) generated by the operation is determined, and when the stereoscopic operation unit 134 determined to be in a slider shape is operated, the movement amount generated by the operation is determined. If it is determined to be an operation of the stereoscopic operation unit, the display control unit 180 updates the GUI etc. according to the operation amount (S160).

[0073] On the other hand, if the XY coordinates of a certain amount of touch positions are not recorded in step S130, the process returns to the beginning, and the presence or absence of a touch is determined each time. If the finger is released (touch is not detected), the process ends.

[0074] As described above, according to this embodiment, when multiple 3D operating units are arranged close to each other, which 3D operating unit is operated is determined based on the finger distance and finger movement direction when the 3D operating unit is touched, so the operation of the operated 3D operating unit can be accurately detected.
