 タッチ式入力装置は、表示部と一体化させることができるため、タッチ式入力装置を備えた処理装置では、表示部とは別の場所に設けられるキーやジョグダイヤルなどを省くことが可能になり、処理装置の小型化を図ることが可能になる。 Since the touch input device can be integrated with the display unit, in a processing device equipped with the touch type input device, it is possible to omit keys and jog dials provided at a place different from the display unit, It is possible to reduce the size of the processing apparatus.
 例えば、特許文献1には、表示部に表示する画像を連続的に切り替えるためのジョグダイヤルを省くことが可能な再生装置が記載されている。 For example, Patent Document 1 describes a playback device that can omit a jog dial for continuously switching images displayed on a display unit.
 特許文献1に記載の再生装置は、タッチ式入力装置を表示部上に設け、その表示部に、軌跡が円または弧を描く摺動操作を誘導するためのオブジェクトを表示する。そして、再生装置は、そのオブジェクトをなぞる摺動操作がタッチ式入力装置に対して行われると、表示部に表示する画像を連続的に切り替える。これにより、ジョグダイヤルと同様な機能をタッチ式入力装置に持たせることが可能になるため、再生装置からジョグダイヤルを省くことが可能になる。 The playback device described in Patent Document 1 includes a touch input device on a display unit, and displays an object for guiding a sliding operation in which a locus draws a circle or an arc on the display unit. Then, when a sliding operation that traces the object is performed on the touch-type input device, the playback device continuously switches the image displayed on the display unit. As a result, the touch-type input device can have the same function as the jog dial, so that the jog dial can be omitted from the playback device.
 また、タッチ式入力装置は、指示体による接触または近接の程度に応じた物理値を測定し、その物理値が閾値以上になると、指示体による入力を検出する。このため、タッチ式入力装置が入力を検出する感度は、閾値に応じて決定されることとなり、ユーザは、閾値を調整することで、タッチ式入力装置の感度を適切な値に設定することができる。 Also, the touch input device measures a physical value corresponding to the degree of contact or proximity by the indicator, and detects the input by the indicator when the physical value is equal to or greater than a threshold value. For this reason, the sensitivity with which the touch input device detects an input is determined according to the threshold, and the user can set the sensitivity of the touch input device to an appropriate value by adjusting the threshold. it can.
 しかしながら、接触または近接の程度が同じでも、気温や湿度などの気象条件や、指の状態などのユーザの体調に応じて物理値が変化してしまうことがあるため、気象条件や体調に応じて適切な感度が変化する。このため、ユーザがタッチ式入力装置を適切な感度で使用するためには、気象条件や体調に応じて感度を手動で調節するという煩雑な処理を行わなければならなかった。 However, even if the degree of contact or proximity is the same, the physical value may change depending on weather conditions such as temperature and humidity, and the physical condition of the user such as the state of the finger, so depending on the weather conditions and physical condition The appropriate sensitivity changes. For this reason, in order for the user to use the touch-type input device with an appropriate sensitivity, a complicated process of manually adjusting the sensitivity according to weather conditions and physical conditions has to be performed.
 これに対して特許文献2および3には、煩雑な処理を行わなくても、適切な感度を設定することが可能な技術が記載されている。 On the other hand, Patent Documents 2 and 3 describe a technique capable of setting an appropriate sensitivity without performing complicated processing.
 特許文献2には、タッチパネルと指を接触させるタッチ操作において、タッチパネルと接触した指の接触面積の統計値を算出し、その統計値に基づいて閾値を調整する画像処理装置が記載されている。 Patent Document 2 describes an image processing apparatus that calculates a statistical value of a contact area of a finger touching the touch panel and adjusts a threshold based on the statistical value in a touch operation in which the touch panel and the finger are brought into contact with each other.
 また、特許文献3には、静電容量方式のセンサに対してユーザが摺動操作または押し込み操作を行った場合、そのセンサが測定する物理値である静電容量に基づいて、センサの感度を調整する入力装置が記載されている。 Further, in Patent Document 3, when a user performs a sliding operation or a pushing operation on a capacitance type sensor, the sensitivity of the sensor is determined based on the capacitance that is a physical value measured by the sensor. The input device to be adjusted is described.

 しかしながら、特許文献2に記載の画像処理装置では、過去に行われたタッチ操作における接触面積の統計値に基づいて閾値が調整されるので、気象条件や体調などの比較的頻繁に変化するものに応じて閾値を調整することができない。このため、感度が適切な値からずれてしまうことが多い。 However, in the image processing apparatus described in Patent Document 2, since the threshold value is adjusted based on the statistical value of the contact area in the past touch operation, the weather condition, physical condition, and the like change relatively frequently. The threshold cannot be adjusted accordingly. For this reason, the sensitivity often deviates from an appropriate value.
 また、特許文献3に記載の入力装置では、ユーザがどのような摺動操作または押し込み操作を行うかは、ユーザが任意に決められるので、簡単で楽な操作が行われることが多くなる。簡単で楽な操作と、実際に行われる様々な入力操作とでは、接触または近接の程度が異なること多いため、感度が適切な値からずれてしまうことが多い。 Further, in the input device described in Patent Document 3, what kind of sliding operation or push-in operation is performed by the user is arbitrarily determined by the user, so that a simple and easy operation is often performed. Since simple and easy operations and various input operations that are actually performed often have different degrees of contact or proximity, the sensitivity often deviates from an appropriate value.
 なお、特許文献1に記載の再生装置は、画像を連続的に切り替えるためのオブジェクトを表示しているだけで、感度を設定する仕組みがなく、感度が適切な値からずれることを防止することはできない。 Note that the playback device described in Patent Document 1 only displays an object for continuously switching images, has no mechanism for setting sensitivity, and prevents the sensitivity from deviating from an appropriate value. Can not.

 以下、本発明の実施形態について図面を参照して説明する。なお、以下の説明では、同じ機能を有するものには同じ符号を付け、その説明を省略する場合がある。 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the following description, components having the same function may be denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof may be omitted.
 (第1の実施形態)
 図1は、本発明の第1の実施形態の処理装置の構成を示す図である。図1に示す処理装置100は、表示部11と、入力検出部12と、感度調整部13とを有する。なお、処理装置100としては、例えば、携帯電話機、スマートフォン、ゲーム機、PC(Personal Computer)またはPDA(Personal Digital Assistant:携帯情報端末)などである。なお、PCには、タブレット型PCやノート型PCなども含まれる。
(First embodiment)
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a configuration of a processing apparatus according to the first embodiment of the present invention. The processing apparatus 100 illustrated in FIG. 1 includes a display unit 11, an input detection unit 12, and a sensitivity adjustment unit 13. The processing device 100 is, for example, a mobile phone, a smartphone, a game machine, a PC (Personal Computer) or a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant: portable information terminal). Note that the PC includes a tablet PC and a notebook PC.
 表示部11は、所定の図形を表示する。 The display unit 11 displays a predetermined figure.
 入力検出部12は、ユーザの指やスタイラスのような指示体の接触または近接した指示位置と、その指示位置における、指示体の接触または近接の程度に応じた物理値とを測定する。そして、入力検出部12は、測定した物理値を用いて、指示体による入力を検出する。 The input detection unit 12 measures a contact position of a pointer such as a user's finger or stylus or a nearby pointing position, and a physical value corresponding to the degree of contact or proximity of the pointer at the pointing position. And the input detection part 12 detects the input by a pointer using the measured physical value.
 入力検出部12にて測定された指示位置の軌跡が、表示部11に表示された図形を描いた場合、感度調整部13は、その軌跡上の各指示位置における物理値である複数の軌跡物理値に基づいて、入力検出部12が指示体による入力を検出する感度を調整する。 When the locus of the indicated position measured by the input detection unit 12 draws a graphic displayed on the display unit 11, the sensitivity adjustment unit 13 uses a plurality of locus physics that are physical values at each indicated position on the locus. Based on the value, the sensitivity with which the input detection unit 12 detects the input by the indicator is adjusted.
 図2は、本実施形態の処理装置の動作の一例を説明するためのフローチャートである。 FIG. 2 is a flowchart for explaining an example of the operation of the processing apparatus of this embodiment.
 先ず、表示部11が所定の図形を表示すると(ステップS11)、感度調整部13は、入力検出部12が測定した物理値および指示位置を取得し、その指示位置の軌跡が表示部11に表示した図形を描いたか否かを判断する(ステップS12)。 First, when the display unit 11 displays a predetermined figure (step S11), the sensitivity adjustment unit 13 acquires the physical value and the designated position measured by the input detection unit 12, and displays the locus of the designated position on the display unit 11. It is determined whether or not the drawn figure has been drawn (step S12).
 指示位置の軌跡が上記の図形を描いていない場合、感度調整部13は、ステップS12の処理に戻る。一方、指示位置の軌跡が上記の図形を描いた場合、感度調整部13は、その軌跡上の各指示位置における物理値である複数の軌跡物理値に基づいて、入力検出部12の感度を調整する(ステップS13)。 If the locus of the indicated position does not draw the above figure, the sensitivity adjustment unit 13 returns to the process of step S12. On the other hand, when the locus of the indicated position draws the above-described figure, the sensitivity adjustment unit 13 adjusts the sensitivity of the input detection unit 12 based on a plurality of locus physical values that are physical values at each indicated position on the locus. (Step S13).
 以上説明したように本実施形態によれば、指示体が接触または近接した指示位置の軌跡が所定の図形を描いた場合に、その軌跡上の各指示位置における複数の軌跡物理値に基づいて感度が調整される。このため、ユーザが指示体を様々な方向に動かした場合における物理値に基づいて感度を調整することが可能になるため、ユーザが実際に行う操作に合わせた適切な感度を設定することが可能になる。さらに、気象条件や体調に応じて感度を手動で調節するという煩雑な処理を行う必要もない。したがって、煩雑さを抑制しつつ、感度をより適切に設定することが可能になる。 As described above, according to the present embodiment, when the locus of the designated position in contact with or close to the indicator draws a predetermined figure, the sensitivity is based on a plurality of locus physical values at each designated position on the locus. Is adjusted. For this reason, it is possible to adjust the sensitivity based on the physical value when the user moves the indicator in various directions, so it is possible to set an appropriate sensitivity according to the operation actually performed by the user become. Furthermore, it is not necessary to perform a complicated process of manually adjusting the sensitivity according to weather conditions and physical condition. Therefore, it is possible to set sensitivity more appropriately while suppressing complexity.
 (第2の実施形態)
 図3は、本発明の本実施形態の処理装置の構成を示すブロック図である。図3に示す処理装置200は、表示部21と、入力検出部22と、感度調整部23とを有する。
(Second Embodiment)
FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the processing apparatus of this embodiment of the present invention. The processing device 200 illustrated in FIG. 3 includes a display unit 21, an input detection unit 22, and a sensitivity adjustment unit 23.
 表示部21は、所定の図形などの種々の画像および情報を表示する。所定の図形は、入力検出部22の感度を設定するための図形であり、ユーザが指示体で図形をなぞる過程において、指示体の色々な場所が入力検出部22に接触または近接するような図形が望ましい。このような図形としては、円および三角形などの閉じた図形が挙げられる。なお、以下では、所定の図形を調整用図形と称する。 The display unit 21 displays various images and information such as predetermined graphics. The predetermined figure is a figure for setting the sensitivity of the input detection unit 22, and various places of the indicator come into contact with or close to the input detection unit 22 in the process of tracing the figure with the indicator by the user. Is desirable. Such graphics include closed graphics such as circles and triangles. Hereinafter, the predetermined graphic is referred to as an adjustment graphic.
 入力検出部22は、指示体の接触または近接した指示位置と、その指示位置における、指示体の接触または近接の程度に応じた物理値とを測定する。本実施形態では、入力検出部22は、静電容量方式のタッチパネルであるとする。この場合、入力検出部22は、物理値として、指示体の接触または近接の程度に応じて変化する静電容量を測定する。なお、接触または近接の程度は、例えば、入力検出部22と指示体と接触している面積や、入力検出部22と指示体との距離などである。また、入力検出部22は、静電容量方式のタッチパネルに限らず、別の方式のタッチパネルやタッチセンサなどでもよい。 The input detection unit 22 measures the pointing position of the indicator that is in contact with or close to it, and the physical value corresponding to the degree of contact or proximity of the indicator at the indicated position. In the present embodiment, it is assumed that the input detection unit 22 is a capacitive touch panel. In this case, the input detection unit 22 measures, as a physical value, a capacitance that changes according to the degree of contact or proximity of the indicator. The degree of contact or proximity is, for example, the area where the input detection unit 22 is in contact with the indicator, the distance between the input detection unit 22 and the indicator, or the like. In addition, the input detection unit 22 is not limited to a capacitive touch panel, and may be another type touch panel, a touch sensor, or the like.
 指示位置および物理値を測定すると、入力検出部22は、測定した物理値を用いて、指示体による入力を検出し、そのときの指示位置を検出位置として出力する。具体的には、入力検出部22は、物理値が予め設定された閾値以上か否かを判断し、物理値が閾値以上の場合、指示体による入力を検出する。 When the indicated position and the physical value are measured, the input detection unit 22 detects the input by the indicator using the measured physical value, and outputs the indicated position at that time as the detected position. Specifically, the input detection unit 22 determines whether or not the physical value is greater than or equal to a preset threshold value, and detects input by the indicator when the physical value is greater than or equal to the threshold value.
 なお、入力検出部22は、表示部21と一体化されていてもよいし、表示部21とは別体でもよい。 The input detection unit 22 may be integrated with the display unit 21 or may be separate from the display unit 21.
 感度調整部23は、入力検出部22にて測定された指示位置の軌跡が、表示部21に表示された調整用図形を描いた場合、入力検出部22にて測定された物理値に基づいて、入力検出部22が指示体による入力を検出する感度を設定する。 When the locus of the indicated position measured by the input detection unit 22 draws the adjustment graphic displayed on the display unit 21, the sensitivity adjustment unit 23 is based on the physical value measured by the input detection unit 22. The sensitivity at which the input detection unit 22 detects the input by the indicator is set.
 具体的には、感度調整部23は、記憶部31と、取得部32と、比較部33と、設定部34とを有する。 Specifically, the sensitivity adjustment unit 23 includes a storage unit 31, an acquisition unit 32, a comparison unit 33, and a setting unit 34.
 記憶部31は、入力検出部22に設定されている現在の閾値を記憶する。 The storage unit 31 stores the current threshold value set in the input detection unit 22.
 取得部32は、入力検出部22にて測定された指示位置の軌跡が調整用図形を描いたか否かを判断する判断部である。 The acquisition unit 32 is a determination unit that determines whether the locus of the indicated position measured by the input detection unit 22 has drawn an adjustment graphic.
 より具体的には、取得部32は、先ず、表示部21に調整用図形を表示させる。 More specifically, the acquisition unit 32 first displays the adjustment graphic on the display unit 21.
 図4は、調整用図形の一例を示す図である。図4の例では、表示部21と入力検出部22とが一体化されており、表示部21は、調整用図形として、三角形状の図形401を表示している。 FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of an adjustment graphic. In the example of FIG. 4, the display unit 21 and the input detection unit 22 are integrated, and the display unit 21 displays a triangular figure 401 as an adjustment figure.
 なお、取得部32が調整用図形を表示させるタイミングは、例えば、処理装置200が所定のトリガ処理を実行するタイミングである。トリガ処理は、定期的に実行される処理であることが望ましい。このような処理としては、例えば、目覚まし用のアプリケーションプログラム(以下、目覚ましアプリと略す)にて予め設定された設定時刻になったときに実行される、音声や振動でアラームを通知するアラーム処理が挙げられる。 Note that the timing at which the acquisition unit 32 displays the adjustment graphic is, for example, the timing at which the processing device 200 executes a predetermined trigger process. The trigger process is desirably a process that is executed periodically. As such a process, for example, an alarm process for notifying an alarm by sound or vibration, which is executed at a preset time set in an alarm application program (hereinafter abbreviated as an alarm application), is performed. Can be mentioned.
 また、取得部32は、アプリケーションプログラムが使用された使用履歴を管理し、その実行履歴に基づいてトリガ処理を設定してもよい。例えば、取得部32は、実行履歴に基づいて、最も頻繁に起動されるアプリケーションプログラムを特定し、そのアプリケーションプログラムを起動する処理を、トリガ処理として設定する。 In addition, the acquisition unit 32 may manage a usage history in which the application program is used, and set a trigger process based on the execution history. For example, the acquisition unit 32 identifies an application program that is most frequently started based on the execution history, and sets a process for starting the application program as a trigger process.
 また、取得部32が調整用図形を表示させるタイミングは、トリガ処理が実行されたタイミングに限らず、例えば、ユーザから感度を設定する旨の指示が入力されたタイミングや、ユーザから入力された内容(例えば、文字やコマンド)を取り消す訂正操作が所定期間内に所定回数以上行われたタイミングでもよい。最後の例では、誤検出の発生頻度が多くなったときに感度を調整することができる。 The timing at which the acquisition unit 32 displays the adjustment graphic is not limited to the timing at which the trigger process is executed. For example, the timing at which an instruction to set sensitivity is input from the user, or the content input from the user It may be a timing when a correction operation for canceling (for example, a character or a command) is performed a predetermined number of times or more within a predetermined period. In the last example, the sensitivity can be adjusted when the frequency of erroneous detection increases.
 調整用図形を表示させると、取得部32は、入力検出部22から、入力検出部22にて測定された物理値および指示位置を取得する。そして、取得部32は、その取得した指示位置の軌跡を判別し、その指示位置の軌跡が表示部21に表示された調整用図形を描いたか否かを判断する。 When the adjustment graphic is displayed, the acquisition unit 32 acquires the physical value and the indicated position measured by the input detection unit 22 from the input detection unit 22. Then, the acquisition unit 32 determines the trajectory of the acquired designated position, and determines whether the trajectory of the designated position has drawn the adjustment graphic displayed on the display unit 21.
 指示位置の軌跡が調整用図形を描いた場合、比較部33は、取得部32が取得した物理値のうち調整用図形を描いた軌跡上の各指示位置における物理値である軌跡物理値と、記憶部31に記憶された閾値とを比較し、その比較結果を設定部34に出力する。 When the locus of the designated position draws the adjustment graphic, the comparison unit 33 includes a physical physical value that is a physical value at each designated position on the locus depicting the adjustment graphic among the physical values acquired by the acquisition unit 32; The threshold value stored in the storage unit 31 is compared, and the comparison result is output to the setting unit 34.
 例えば、比較部33は、軌跡物理値の統計的な値である統計値と閾値とを比較して、統計値と閾値の差を比較結果として出力する。なお、統計値は、例えば、平均値、最大値または最小値などである。また、統計値と閾値の差は、その差の大きさと、統計値と閾値の大小関係を表すものする。 For example, the comparison unit 33 compares a statistical value, which is a statistical value of the trajectory physical value, with a threshold value, and outputs a difference between the statistical value and the threshold value as a comparison result. The statistical value is, for example, an average value, a maximum value, or a minimum value. Further, the difference between the statistical value and the threshold value represents the magnitude of the difference and the magnitude relationship between the statistical value and the threshold value.
 設定部34は、比較部33から出力された比較結果に基づいて、入力検出部22に設定された閾値を変更して、入力検出部22の感度を調整する。 The setting unit 34 adjusts the sensitivity of the input detection unit 22 by changing the threshold set in the input detection unit 22 based on the comparison result output from the comparison unit 33.
 例えば、比較結果が軌跡物理値の統計値と閾値の差を示す場合、設定部34は、統計値が閾値以下であると、統計値と閾値との差に応じた値だけ閾値を小さくし、統計値が閾値より大きいと、統計値と閾値との差に応じた値だけ閾値を大きくする。このとき、設定部34は、統計値と閾値との差が大きいほど、閾値を変更する量を大きくすることが望ましい。また、統計値と閾値との差の大きさが特定の値以上の場合に、設定部34は、閾値を変更してもよい。 For example, when the comparison result indicates the difference between the statistical value of the trajectory physical value and the threshold, the setting unit 34 reduces the threshold by a value corresponding to the difference between the statistical value and the threshold when the statistical value is equal to or less than the threshold. When the statistical value is larger than the threshold value, the threshold value is increased by a value corresponding to the difference between the statistical value and the threshold value. At this time, it is desirable that the setting unit 34 increases the amount by which the threshold value is changed as the difference between the statistical value and the threshold value is larger. Further, when the magnitude of the difference between the statistical value and the threshold value is equal to or greater than a specific value, the setting unit 34 may change the threshold value.
 なお、入力検出部22に設定された閾値を変更すると、設定部34は、変更後の閾値を現在の閾値として記憶部31に記憶する。 When the threshold set in the input detection unit 22 is changed, the setting unit 34 stores the changed threshold in the storage unit 31 as the current threshold.
 図5は、本実施形態の処理装置200の動作の一例を説明するためのフローチャートである。 FIG. 5 is a flowchart for explaining an example of the operation of the processing apparatus 200 of the present embodiment.
 先ず、目覚ましアプリによってアラームを通知する処理が実行されたときに、取得部32は、調整用図形を表示部21に表示させる(ステップS51)。なお、取得部32は、調整用図形とともに、感度を調整する旨の情報などを表示部21に表示させてもよい。 First, when the process of notifying the alarm is executed by the alarm application, the acquisition unit 32 displays the adjustment graphic on the display unit 21 (step S51). The acquisition unit 32 may cause the display unit 21 to display information indicating that the sensitivity is adjusted together with the adjustment graphic.
 続いて、取得部32は、入力検出部22から物理値と指示位置とを取得し、その指示位置の軌跡を判別する。そして、取得部32は、指示位置の軌跡が調整用図形を描いたか否かを判断する(ステップS52)。 Subsequently, the acquisition unit 32 acquires the physical value and the designated position from the input detection unit 22, and determines the locus of the designated position. Then, the acquisition unit 32 determines whether or not the locus of the designated position has drawn an adjustment graphic (step S52).
 このとき、取得部32は、軌跡が調整用図形と合同の場合に、軌跡が調整用図形を描いたと判断してもよいし、軌跡が調整用図形と相似の場合に、軌跡が調整用図形を描いたと判断してもよい。また、取得部32は、軌跡が調整用図形の表示されている場所に描かれた場合にだけ、軌跡が調整用図形を描いたと判断してもよいし、軌跡が調整用図形の表示されている場所とは別の場所で描かれても、軌跡が調整用図形と合同または相似であれば、軌跡が調整用図形を描いたと判断してもよい。 At this time, the acquisition unit 32 may determine that the trajectory has drawn the adjustment graphic when the trajectory is congruent with the adjustment graphic, or the trajectory is the adjustment graphic when the trajectory is similar to the adjustment graphic. It may be judged that he drew. The acquisition unit 32 may determine that the locus has drawn the adjustment graphic only when the locus is drawn at the place where the adjustment graphic is displayed, or the locus is displayed as the adjustment graphic. Even if the locus is drawn at a place different from the place where it is, if the locus is congruent or similar to the adjustment graphic, it may be determined that the locus has drawn the adjustment graphic.
 また、取得部32は、軌跡の始点が予め定められた位置にあり、かつ、軌跡が調整用図形と合同または相似になった場合に、軌跡が調整用図形を描いたと判断してもよい。この場合、取得部32は、ステップS51において、調整用図形とともに、軌跡の始点を示す情報を表示部21に表示させてもよい。 Further, the acquisition unit 32 may determine that the trajectory has drawn the adjustment graphic when the start point of the trajectory is at a predetermined position and the trajectory is congruent or similar to the adjustment graphic. In this case, the acquisition unit 32 may cause the display unit 21 to display information indicating the start point of the trajectory together with the adjustment graphic in step S51.
 指示位置の軌跡が調整用図形を描いていない場合、取得部32は、ステップS52の処理に戻る。 If the locus of the indicated position does not draw an adjustment graphic, the acquisition unit 32 returns to the process of step S52.
 一方、指示位置の軌跡が調整用図形を描いた場合、取得部32は、調整用図形を描いた軌跡上の各指示位置における物理値を軌跡物理値として比較部33に出力する。比較部33は、軌跡物理値を受け付けると、記憶部31から閾値を取得する。比較部33は、軌跡物理値と閾値とを比較して、その比較結果を設定部34に出力する(ステップS53)。 On the other hand, when the locus of the designated position draws the adjustment graphic, the acquisition unit 32 outputs the physical value at each designated position on the locus depicting the adjustment graphic to the comparison unit 33 as the locus physical value. When receiving the trajectory physical value, the comparison unit 33 acquires a threshold value from the storage unit 31. The comparison unit 33 compares the trajectory physical value with the threshold value, and outputs the comparison result to the setting unit 34 (step S53).
 設定部34は、比較結果を受け付けると、その比較結果に基づいて、入力検出部22に設定されている閾値を変更して、入力検出部22の感度を調整するとともに、閾値の変更後の値を現在の閾値として記憶部31に記憶する(ステップS54)。 Upon receiving the comparison result, the setting unit 34 changes the threshold value set in the input detection unit 22 based on the comparison result, adjusts the sensitivity of the input detection unit 22, and sets the value after the change of the threshold value. Is stored in the storage unit 31 as the current threshold value (step S54).
 以上説明した構成および動作は、単なる一例であって、これに限るものではない。例えば、調整用図形は、アプリケーションプログラムで使用される図形と兼用されていてもよい。例えば、調整用図形は目覚ましアプリによるアラームの通知を停止させるための図形と兼用されていてもよい。この場合、例えば、物理値が閾値以上となったときに入力検出部22から出力される検出位置が調整用図形を描く場合、取得部32は、アラームを通知する処理を終了させる。 The configuration and operation described above are merely examples, and are not limited thereto. For example, the adjustment graphic may also be used as a graphic used in the application program. For example, the adjustment graphic may be used also as a graphic for stopping alarm notification by the alarm application. In this case, for example, when the detection position output from the input detection unit 22 draws the adjustment graphic when the physical value is equal to or greater than the threshold value, the acquisition unit 32 ends the process of notifying the alarm.
 また、表示部21は、複数の調整用図形を表示し、感度調整部23は、調整用図形のそれぞれを描く複数の軌跡上の各指示位置における軌跡物理値に基づいて、入力検出部22の感度を調整してもよい。 In addition, the display unit 21 displays a plurality of adjustment figures, and the sensitivity adjustment unit 23 uses the trajectory physical value at each indicated position on a plurality of trajectories that draw each of the adjustment figures. Sensitivity may be adjusted.
 例えば、先ず、取得部32は、複数の調整用図形を表示させ、調整用図形ごとに、指示位置の軌跡がその調整用図形を描いたか否かを判断する。このとき取得部32は、例えば、目覚ましアプリのスヌーズ機能と連動して、アラームを通知する処理が実行されるたびに、調整用図形を表示部21に表示させる。 For example, first, the acquisition unit 32 displays a plurality of adjustment figures, and determines for each adjustment figure whether the locus of the indicated position has drawn the adjustment figure. At this time, for example, the acquisition unit 32 causes the display unit 21 to display an adjustment graphic every time processing for notifying an alarm is performed in conjunction with the snooze function of the alarm application.
 そして、全ての調整用図形または所定数以上の調整用図形に対して、軌跡が調整用図形を描いた場合、比較部33は、調整用図形ごとに、その調整用図形を描いた軌跡上の各指示位置における軌跡物理値と閾値を比較して、比較結果を出力する。 When the trajectory draws an adjustment graphic for all the adjustment graphics or a predetermined number or more of the adjustment graphics, the comparison unit 33 sets the adjustment graphic on the trajectory on which the adjustment graphic is drawn for each adjustment graphic. The trajectory physical value at each indicated position is compared with the threshold value, and the comparison result is output.
 設定部34は、各比較結果に基づいて、入力検出部22に設定されている閾値を変更する。例えば、設定部34は、記憶部31から現在の閾値を取得し、比較結果ごとに、その比較結果と現在の閾値とに基づいて、その比較結果に対応する閾値である結果別閾値を求め、入力検出部22に設定されている閾値を、結果別閾値の平均値に変更する。 The setting unit 34 changes the threshold set in the input detection unit 22 based on each comparison result. For example, the setting unit 34 acquires the current threshold value from the storage unit 31, and obtains a threshold value for each result that is a threshold value corresponding to the comparison result based on the comparison result and the current threshold value for each comparison result. The threshold value set in the input detection unit 22 is changed to the average value of the result-specific threshold values.
 なお、複数の調整用図形は、同一の形状の図形でもよいし、異なる形状の図形でもよい。また、取得部32は、複数の調整用画像を、同時に表示させてもよし、順番に表示させもよい。さらに、取得部32は、複数の調整用画像を、同じ位置に表示させてもよいし、異なる位置に表示させてもよい。 Note that the plurality of adjustment figures may be the same shape or different shapes. The acquisition unit 32 may display a plurality of adjustment images at the same time or may display them in order. Furthermore, the acquisition unit 32 may display a plurality of adjustment images at the same position or at different positions.
 また、入力検出部22の感度を調整した場合、感度調整部23(より具体的には、設定部34)は、予め定められた有効条件が満たされている間、感度(閾値)を調整後の値に維持し、有効条件が満たされなくなると、閾値を初期値に戻すことで、感度を規定値に戻してもよい。 Further, when the sensitivity of the input detection unit 22 is adjusted, the sensitivity adjustment unit 23 (more specifically, the setting unit 34) adjusts the sensitivity (threshold value) while a predetermined effective condition is satisfied. When the effective condition is not satisfied, the sensitivity may be returned to the specified value by returning the threshold value to the initial value.
 有効条件は、例えば、感度を調整してから特定の時刻(例えば、翌朝の8時)までの期間であること、感度を調整してから特定の時間内(例えば、24時間内)であること、特定のアプリケーションプログラムが実行中であること、処理装置100が特定の状態であることなどである。 The valid condition is, for example, a period from adjusting the sensitivity to a specific time (for example, 8:00 of the next morning), or within a specific time (for example, within 24 hours) after adjusting the sensitivity. The specific application program is being executed, the processing apparatus 100 is in a specific state, and the like.
 以上説明したように本実施形態では、第1の実施形態と同様に、指示体が接触または近接した指示位置の軌跡が調整用図形を描いた場合に、その軌跡上の各指示位置における複数の軌跡物理値に基づいて感度が調整されため、煩雑さを抑制しつつ、感度をより適切に設定することが可能になる。 As described above, in the present embodiment, as in the first embodiment, when the locus of the pointing position that the pointer is in contact with or close to draws the adjustment graphic, a plurality of points at each pointing position on the locus are drawn. Since the sensitivity is adjusted based on the trajectory physical value, it is possible to set the sensitivity more appropriately while suppressing complexity.
 また、本実施形態によれば、指示体の入力を検出するための閾値と、軌跡物理値との比較結果に基づいて、その閾値が変更されることで、感度が調整されるため、ユーザが実際に行う様々な操作に応じた適切な閾値を設定することが可能になり、感度をより適切な値に調整することが可能になる。 In addition, according to the present embodiment, the sensitivity is adjusted by changing the threshold based on the comparison result between the threshold for detecting the input of the indicator and the trajectory physical value. An appropriate threshold value can be set according to various operations actually performed, and the sensitivity can be adjusted to a more appropriate value.
 また、本実施形態では、軌跡物理値の統計値の閾値との差に基づいて、その閾値が変更されるので、ユーザが実際に行う様々な操作に対応したより適切な閾値を設定することが可能になる。 In this embodiment, since the threshold value is changed based on the difference between the statistical value threshold value of the trajectory physical value, a more appropriate threshold value corresponding to various operations actually performed by the user can be set. It becomes possible.
 (第3の実施形態)
 図6は、本実施形態の処理装置の構成を示すブロック図である。図6に示す処理装置300は、図3に示した処理装置200の構成に加えて、補正情報取得部41と、補正部42とをさらに有する。
(Third embodiment)
FIG. 6 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the processing apparatus of this embodiment. The processing apparatus 300 illustrated in FIG. 6 further includes a correction information acquisition unit 41 and a correction unit 42 in addition to the configuration of the processing apparatus 200 illustrated in FIG.
 補正情報取得部41は、入力検出部22に設定されている閾値を補正する補正情報を取得する。補正情報は、例えば、ユーザの体調を示す体調情報や、気象状況を示す気象情報などである。ユーザの体調は、例えば、ユーザの体温などである。また、気象状況は、例えば、天気、気温および湿度などである。 The correction information acquisition unit 41 acquires correction information for correcting the threshold set in the input detection unit 22. The correction information is, for example, physical condition information indicating a user's physical condition, weather information indicating a weather condition, or the like. A user's physical condition is a user's body temperature etc., for example. Further, the weather situation is, for example, weather, temperature and humidity.
 補正情報取得部41は、温度センサや湿度センサのような補正情報を取得するセンサを有した構成でもよいし、気象情報を公開しているサイトを運用しているサーバなどから気象情報を補正情報として取得する通信機能を有した構成でもよい。これらの構成の場合、補正情報取得部41は、定期的に補正情報を取得する。例えば、補正情報取得部41は、予め定められた時刻になった際に、補正情報を取得する。 The correction information acquisition unit 41 may be configured to have a sensor that acquires correction information such as a temperature sensor and a humidity sensor, or corrects weather information from a server or the like that operates a site that discloses weather information. A configuration having a communication function acquired as In the case of these configurations, the correction information acquisition unit 41 periodically acquires correction information. For example, the correction information acquisition unit 41 acquires correction information when a predetermined time comes.
 また、補正情報取得部41は、補正情報を取得するための入力画面を表示部21に表示させ、入力画面が表示されているときに入力検出部22から出力される検出位置に基づいて補正情報を取得してもよい。 Further, the correction information acquisition unit 41 displays an input screen for acquiring correction information on the display unit 21 and corrects the correction information based on the detection position output from the input detection unit 22 when the input screen is displayed. May be obtained.
 図7は、入力画面の一例を示す図である。なお、図7では、表示部21および入力検出部22が一体化された処理装置300が示されている。 FIG. 7 shows an example of the input screen. In FIG. 7, a processing apparatus 300 in which the display unit 21 and the input detection unit 22 are integrated is shown.
 図7の例では、表示部21は、ユーザの体温を入力するための入力ボックス701と、天気を選択するため選択ボックス702と、数字や文字を入力するソフトウェアキー703とを含む入力画面700を表示している。 In the example of FIG. 7, the display unit 21 has an input screen 700 including an input box 701 for inputting a user's body temperature, a selection box 702 for selecting weather, and software keys 703 for inputting numbers and characters. it's shown.
 図6の説明に戻る。補正部42は、補正情報取得部41が取得した補正情報に基づいて、入力検出部22に設定されている閾値を補正することで、入力検出部22の感度を補正する。 Returning to the explanation of FIG. The correction unit 42 corrects the sensitivity of the input detection unit 22 by correcting the threshold set in the input detection unit 22 based on the correction information acquired by the correction information acquisition unit 41.
 図8は、本実施形態の処理装置300の動作の一例を説明するためのフローチャートである。 FIG. 8 is a flowchart for explaining an example of the operation of the processing apparatus 300 of this embodiment.
 先ず、補正情報取得部41は、補正情報を取得し、その補正情報を補正部42に出力する(ステップS81)。 First, the correction information acquisition unit 41 acquires correction information and outputs the correction information to the correction unit 42 (step S81).
 補正部42は、補正情報を受け付けると、記憶部31から閾値を取得する。補正部42は、補正情報および閾値に基づいて、閾値を補正した補正値を求める。例えば、湿度が高いほど、接触または近接の程度が同じでも、入力検出部22が測定する物理値である静電容量が小さくなる可能性があるため、補正部42は、湿度が高いほど、閾値の補正値を小さくする。 When the correction unit 42 receives the correction information, the correction unit 42 acquires a threshold value from the storage unit 31. The correction unit 42 obtains a correction value obtained by correcting the threshold based on the correction information and the threshold. For example, the higher the humidity, the smaller the capacitance that is the physical value measured by the input detection unit 22 even if the degree of contact or proximity is the same. Reduce the correction value.
 そして、補正部42は、入力検出部22に設定されている閾値を補正値に補正して、入力検出部22の感度を補正するとともに、その補正値を現在の閾値として記憶部31に記憶する(ステップS82)。その後、図5を用いて説明したステップS51~54の処理が実行される。 Then, the correction unit 42 corrects the threshold value set in the input detection unit 22 to a correction value, corrects the sensitivity of the input detection unit 22, and stores the correction value in the storage unit 31 as the current threshold value. (Step S82). Thereafter, the processing of steps S51 to S54 described with reference to FIG. 5 is executed.
 なお、上記の動作は単なる一例であって、これに限定されるものではない。例えば、ステップS51~54の処理が終了した後で、ステップS81および82の処理が実行されてもよい。 The above operation is merely an example, and the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the processes in steps S81 and S82 may be executed after the processes in steps S51 to S54 are completed.
 本実施形態によれば、体調情報や気象情報のような補正情報に基づいて入力検出部22の感度を補正することが可能になるので、感度をより適切にすることが可能になる。 According to the present embodiment, it is possible to correct the sensitivity of the input detection unit 22 based on correction information such as physical condition information and weather information, so that the sensitivity can be made more appropriate.
 (第4の実施形態)
 本実施形態の処理装置は、図6に示した処理装置300と同じ構成を有する。
(Fourth embodiment)
The processing apparatus of the present embodiment has the same configuration as the processing apparatus 300 shown in FIG.
 本実施形態の記憶部31は、現在の閾値に加えて、閾値の推移を示す履歴情報を記憶する。なお、履歴情報は、予め定められた履歴管理期間に含まれる閾値の推移を示してもよい。履歴管理期間は、例えば、現在から1ヶ月前までの期間などである。 The storage unit 31 of the present embodiment stores history information indicating transition of the threshold in addition to the current threshold. The history information may indicate a transition of a threshold included in a predetermined history management period. The history management period is, for example, a period from the present to one month ago.
 設定部34は、比較部33からの比較結果と、記憶部31に記憶された履歴情報とに基づいて、入力検出部22に設定されている閾値を変更する。 The setting unit 34 changes the threshold value set in the input detection unit 22 based on the comparison result from the comparison unit 33 and the history information stored in the storage unit 31.
 具体的には、設定部34は、履歴情報に基づいて、閾値の過去の平均値を求めるとともに、比較結果に基づいて、閾値を変更した変更値を求める。そして、設定部34は、変更値が閾値の平均値より所定値以上離れているか否かを判断する。 Specifically, the setting unit 34 obtains a past average value of the threshold based on the history information, and obtains a changed value obtained by changing the threshold based on the comparison result. Then, the setting unit 34 determines whether or not the change value is a predetermined value or more away from the average value of the threshold values.
 変更値が平均値より所定値以上離れている場合、設定部34は、入力検出部22に設定されている閾値を変更値に変更する。そして、設定部34は、変更値を現在の閾値として記憶部31に記憶するとともに、変更値に基づいて、履歴情報を更新する。なお、変更値が平均値より所定値以上離れていない場合、設定部34は、閾値の変更を行わず、現在の閾値を維持する。 When the change value is more than the predetermined value away from the average value, the setting unit 34 changes the threshold value set in the input detection unit 22 to the change value. The setting unit 34 stores the change value as the current threshold value in the storage unit 31 and updates the history information based on the change value. When the change value is not separated from the average value by a predetermined value or more, the setting unit 34 does not change the threshold value and maintains the current threshold value.
 本実施形態によれば、ユーザの体調などが普段と大きく異なる場合にのみ、感度を調整することが可能になる。 According to the present embodiment, it is possible to adjust the sensitivity only when the user's physical condition is significantly different from usual.
 (第5の実施形態)
 本実施形態の処理装置は、図6に示した処理装置300と同じ構成を有する。
(Fifth embodiment)
The processing apparatus of the present embodiment has the same configuration as the processing apparatus 300 shown in FIG.
 本実施形態の感度調整部23は、予め定められた複数の設定条件のそれぞれについて、軌跡物理値に基づいて、入力検出部22の感度の設定条件に対応した値である条件感度を求める。設定条件のいずれかが満たされた場合、感度調整部23は、入力検出部22の感度を、当該設定条件に対応した設定値に調整する。 The sensitivity adjustment unit 23 of the present embodiment obtains a condition sensitivity that is a value corresponding to the sensitivity setting condition of the input detection unit 22 based on the trajectory physical value for each of a plurality of predetermined setting conditions. When any of the setting conditions is satisfied, the sensitivity adjustment unit 23 adjusts the sensitivity of the input detection unit 22 to a setting value corresponding to the setting condition.
 設定条件は、例えば、予め定められた特定アプリケーションプログラムごとに設定され、その特定アプリケーションプログラムのウィンドウがアクティブになっていることである。 The setting condition is, for example, that each specific application program is set in advance and the window of the specific application program is active.
 この場合、例えば、記憶部31は、特定アプリケーションプログラムごとに、入力検出部22に設定する閾値の特定アプリケーションに対応する値である条件閾値を記憶する。 In this case, for example, the storage unit 31 stores, for each specific application program, a condition threshold that is a value corresponding to the specific application of the threshold set in the input detection unit 22.
 特定アプリケーションプログラムのいずれかのウィンドウがアクティブになった場合、設定部34は、設定条件が満たされたと判断して、ウィンドウがアクティブになった特定アプリケーションプログラム(以下、アクティブアプリと称する)に対応する条件閾値が記憶部31に記憶されているか否かを判断する。 When any window of the specific application program becomes active, the setting unit 34 determines that the setting condition is satisfied and corresponds to the specific application program (hereinafter referred to as an active application) in which the window is active. It is determined whether or not the condition threshold value is stored in the storage unit 31.
 条件閾値が記憶されていない場合、設定部34は、調整用図形の表示を取得部32に指示する。取得部32は、その指示を受け付けると、調整用図形を表示部21に表示させる。 When the condition threshold is not stored, the setting unit 34 instructs the acquisition unit 32 to display the adjustment graphic. Upon receiving the instruction, the acquisition unit 32 causes the display unit 21 to display the adjustment graphic.
 その後、指示位置の軌跡が調整用図形を描いた場合、設定部34は、比較部33からの比較結果に基づいて、アクティブアプリに対応する条件閾値を求め、入力検出部22に設定されている閾値を条件閾値に変更するとともに、その条件閾値を、アクティブアプリに対応付けて記憶部31に記憶する。 Thereafter, when the locus of the indicated position draws an adjustment graphic, the setting unit 34 obtains a condition threshold corresponding to the active application based on the comparison result from the comparison unit 33 and is set in the input detection unit 22. The threshold value is changed to the condition threshold value, and the condition threshold value is stored in the storage unit 31 in association with the active application.
 一方、条件閾値が記憶されている場合、設定部34は、入力検出部22に設定されている閾値を、その記憶されている条件閾値に変更する。 On the other hand, when the condition threshold is stored, the setting unit 34 changes the threshold set in the input detection unit 22 to the stored condition threshold.
 なお、設定条件は、特定アプリケーションプログラムのウィンドウがアクティブになったことに限らず、予め定められた時間帯や、処理装置300の特定の状態などでもよい。 The setting condition is not limited to that the window of the specific application program is activated, but may be a predetermined time zone, a specific state of the processing apparatus 300, or the like.
 本実施形態によれば、設定条件ごとに感度を調整することが可能になるので、状況に合わせて、感度をより適切な値に調整することが可能になる。 According to the present embodiment, the sensitivity can be adjusted for each setting condition, so that the sensitivity can be adjusted to a more appropriate value according to the situation.
 以上説明した各実施形態において、図示した構成は単なる一例であって、本発明はその構成に限定されるものではない。 In each embodiment described above, the illustrated configuration is merely an example, and the present invention is not limited to the configuration.
 例えば、処理装置100、200および300の機能は、その機能を実現するためのプログラムを、コンピュータにて読み取り可能な記録媒体に記録して、この記録媒体に記録されたプログラムをコンピュータに読み込ませ実行させることで、実現されてもよい。 For example, the functions of the processing devices 100, 200 and 300 are executed by recording a program for realizing the function on a computer-readable recording medium and reading the program recorded on the recording medium into the computer. May be realized.
