Abstract

To select an intended selection element in operating a touch panel having a touch sensor with high detection sensitivity.SOLUTION: An information processing apparatus includes a processor, the processor being configured to: detect a finger hold state in which a finger 11F of a user stays in a space above selection elements 40TG displayed on a touch panel 16 for a predetermined time or longer, the state being detected through the touch panel 16; and control the touch panel 16 when the finger hold state is detected, so that a selection element 40TG is displayed in a selected state 42S. The predetermined time is a length of time set to prevent the processor from displaying an unintended selection element 40NTG in the selected state 42S when the finger 11F of the user passes through the space above the unintended selection element 40NTG toward the intended selection element 40TG.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 7

Claims

1. Including the processor, The aforementioned processor, The system detects, via the touch panel, when the user's finger is in the space above the selection element displayed on the touch panel for a predetermined period of time or longer. When the aforementioned state is detected, the touch panel is controlled so that the selected element is displayed as selected. The predetermined time is a time set based on the user information read from the storage medium approaching the reader, and is the time during which the processor is set not to display the unintended selection element when the user's finger passes over the space above the unintended selection element toward the intended selection element. The aforementioned processor, If the selected element becomes the selected display, and the user's finger is not detected moving to the space above the avoidance area displayed on the touch panel during a predetermined avoidance time after the user's finger leaves the space above the selected element, Assuming the selection of that element is finalized, the instructions corresponding to that element are accepted. If the selection element becomes the selected display, and during the predetermined avoidance time after the user's finger leaves the space above the selection element, it is detected that the user's finger has moved into the space above the avoidance area, Assuming that the selection of that element has been avoided, the instruction corresponding to that element will not be accepted. Information processing device.

2. Including the processor, The aforementioned processor, The system detects, via the touch panel, when the user's finger is in the space above the selection element displayed on the touch panel for a predetermined period of time or longer. When the aforementioned state is detected, the touch panel is controlled so that the selected element is displayed as selected. The predetermined time is a time set based on the user information read from the storage medium approaching the reader, and is the time during which the processor is set not to display the unintended selection element when the user's finger passes over the space above the unintended selection element toward the intended selection element. In the mode in which the selection element is displayed without the user's finger touching the touch panel due to the detection and control described above, the non-contact mode is: The aforementioned processor, The touch panel can be controlled to operate in a contact mode where the selection element is displayed as selected by the user's finger touching the touch panel, and the touch panel can also be controlled to operate in a non-contact mode instead of the contact mode. In the non-contact mode, the display control of the touch panel is performed such that the size of the selection element displayed on the touch panel is larger compared to the contact mode. Information processing device.

3. Including the processor, The aforementioned processor, The system detects, via the touch panel, when the user's finger is in the space above the selection element displayed on the touch panel for a predetermined period of time or longer. When the aforementioned state is detected, the touch panel is controlled so that the selected element is displayed as selected. The predetermined time is a time set based on the user information read from the storage medium approaching the reader, and is the time during which the processor is set not to display the unintended selection element when the user's finger passes over the space above the unintended selection element toward the intended selection element. In the mode in which the selection element is displayed without the user's finger touching the touch panel due to the detection and control described above, the non-contact mode is, The aforementioned processor, The touch panel can be controlled to operate in a contact mode where the selection element is displayed as selected by the user's finger touching the touch panel, and the touch panel can also be controlled to operate in a non-contact mode instead of the contact mode. In the non-contact mode, the display control of the touch panel is performed such that the spacing between the multiple selection elements displayed on the touch panel is wider compared to the contact mode. Information processing device.

4. An information processing apparatus according to claim 2 or 3, The aforementioned processor, In the aforementioned non-contact mode, when it is detected that the user's finger has left the space above the selection element after the selection element has been displayed as selected, Assuming the selection of that element is finalized, the system accepts instructions corresponding to that element. Information processing device.

5. The system detects, via the touch panel, when the user's finger is in the space above the selection element displayed on the touch panel for a predetermined period of time or longer. When the aforementioned state is detected, the touch panel is controlled so that the selected element is displayed as selected. It is a program that makes a computer function in such a way. The predetermined time is a time set based on the user's information read from a storage medium approaching the reader, and is the time during which the computer is set not to display the unintended selection element when the user's finger passes over the space above the unintended selection element toward the intended selection element. The aforementioned computer, If the selected element becomes the selected display, and the user's finger is not detected moving to the space above the avoidance area displayed on the touch panel during a predetermined avoidance time after the user's finger leaves the space above the selected element, Assuming the selection of that element is finalized, the instructions corresponding to that element are accepted. If the selection element becomes the selected display, and during the predetermined avoidance time after the user's finger leaves the space above the selection element, it is detected that the user's finger has moved into the space above the avoidance area, Assuming that the selection of that element has been avoided, the instruction corresponding to that element will not be accepted. A program that causes the computer to function in this manner.
