Three-dimensional configuration operation device

Abstract

This invention provides a three-dimensional arrangement manipulation device that rotates objects in three-dimensional space. [Solution] The system comprises an input device, a rotation control unit for rotating an object, a rotation reference switching unit that toggles between an object-center rotation mode and an object-reference point rotation mode using a single button operation on the input device, and a display control unit that displays the current rotation mode as text information. When rotating an object in three-dimensional space, the rotation reference is often fixed, and there was a problem that switching the reference according to the work content was complicated. In addition, the current rotation reference was difficult to understand, which could lead to errors.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a three-dimensional arrangement operation device for operating an object arranged in a three-dimensional space.

Background Art

[0002] In an operation of rotating an object in a three-dimensional space, the rotation reference is often fixed. Depending on the work content, there are cases where it is desired to use rotation around the object center and rotation around the reference point of the object separately. However, conventionally, setting changes and multiple operations are required, and there are problems with operability.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0003] An object of the present invention is to provide a three-dimensional arrangement operation device capable of switching a rotation reference with a simple operation and making the current rotation reference visible.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0004] The three-dimensional arrangement operation device of the present invention includes a display unit for displaying an object in a three-dimensional space, a rotation control unit for rotating the object, and an input reception unit for receiving an operation signal from an input device. It includes a rotation reference switching unit that toggles between an object center rotation mode and an object reference point rotation mode by a single button operation of the input device. Furthermore, it includes a display control unit for displaying the current rotation mode as character information.

Effects of the Invention

[0005] According to the present invention, the rotation reference can be immediately switched by a single button operation. This facilitates rotation operations according to the work content. Furthermore, since the current rotation reference is displayed as text information, the operating status can be clearly understood, thus preventing errors. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0006] [Figure 1] Figure 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the three-dimensional arrangement and manipulation device of the present invention. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0007] The embodiments of the present invention will be described below. Objects displayed in three-dimensional space are rotated via a rotation control unit through input device operations. When a single button on the input device is pressed, the rotation reference switching unit toggles between object-center rotation mode and object-reference point rotation mode. The currently selected rotation mode is displayed as text information on the display unit by the display control unit. This allows the user to perform rotational operations while visually confirming the current rotation reference. [Examples]

[0008] As an example, we will describe a case in which an operating device equipped with buttons is used as an input device for a device that manipulates objects displayed in three-dimensional space. Each time the user presses the aforementioned button, the rotation reference switching unit alternately switches between object-center rotation mode and object-reference point rotation mode. The current rotation mode is displayed as text information on the display unit. This allows users to manipulate objects in three-dimensional space while easily switching the rotation reference. [Industrial applicability]

[0009] This invention can be applied to various devices that manipulate objects in three-dimensional space. For example, it can be used in design support devices, simulation devices, display devices, etc.
