Join prosperous Fig. 6, show the data of storing in the hard disk 38 of HDD 115.Hard disk 38 is memory image display routine 121, JPEG (JPEG (joint photographic experts group)) image 122, data bitmap 123 and character code 124 for example.Image display program 121 shows various images on displaying block 7; More specifically, all images and screen display operation are carried out in the input that image display program 121 is for example imported by operating block 8 according to the user, such as the described roll display in painted and back of cursor demonstration, cursor selected item.Jpeg image 122 is presented on the described reproduction screen in back (with reference to Figure 15) when showing.When for example showing the recording cover image, also use jpeg image 122.Image display program 121 provides graphical user interface.Data bitmap 123 form will be on displaying block 7 data presented; For example, data bitmap 123 comprises the data that are used to represent music title for example shown in Figure 15 50 and artist name shown in Figure 14.Character code 124 is used for will being used to show that the character information of music title 50 is converted to data bitmap when system controller 100 issue an orders when for example showing music title 50 on displaying block 7.Should be noted that image display program 121, data bitmap 123 and character code 124 can be stored among the ROM 107.
With reference to Fig. 7, show the section of operating block 8.
The sheet material 20 that the action button 9 of operating block 8 is made by for example resin integrally forms.The sheet material 22 that this sheet material 20 and being used to detects the touch of user's finger on sheet material 20 is attached to the cladding element of main body 2.Below sheet material 20 and the sheet material 22, arranged the circuit board 21 that is used for control operation piece 8, this circuit board 21 is supported by stilt 25.Circuit board 21 and sheet material 22 for example stick together mutually with double sticky tape 26.
Be that each action button 9 is arranged electrode 24 below sheet material 22.Be that each electrode 24 is arranged wiring 23 on circuit board 21.Electrode 24 and wiring 23 have formed tactiosensible property switch.Electrode 24 and wiring 23 are connected to the unshowned controller that is used to control this operating block 8.For example as shown in Figure 8, when user's opposing thumb 19 push buttons 9, when predetermined voltage is applied to electrode 24 or connects up on 23, switch conduction, this makes controller determine to have supressed action button 9.Electrode 24 for example forms cup-shaped, and has elasticity; When discharging the pushing of action button 9, electrode 24 turns back to state shown in Figure 7.For example should be noted that spring or rubber to be installed on the electrode 24, replace itself providing elasticity to electrode 24 to give elasticity.
With reference to Fig. 9, show the exemplary configuration of operating block 8.
Operating block 8 is by forming with lower member: linear emitting electrode 32-1 is to 32-5; Be used to provide the have predetermined transmission frequencies oscillator 31 of exchange current of (for example 100KH-z); Be used for receiving the linear receiving electrode 33-1 of exchange current from emitting electrode 32-1 to 32-5 to 33-5 by electrostatic effect; Be used to receive and flow through the receiver 34 of receiving electrode 33-1 to the exchange current of 33-5; And be used to import the output, receiving electrode 33-1 of oscillator 31 to the output of 33-5, and the processor 35 of the output of receiver 34.
On sheet material 22, at oscillator 31 and emitting electrode 32-1 to having arranged between the 32-5 that switch 36-1 is to 36-5.In addition, at receiving electrode 33-1 to having arranged between 33-5 and the receiver 34 that switch 37-1 is to 37-5.These switches 36-1 connects with predetermined relation (when for example, each oscillator 31 is exported exchange current) regularly to 37-5 to 36-5 and switch 37-1.
Receiver 34 is by forming with lower member: based on the AM modulator of bandpass filter (BPF) 34a, be used for only by having the exchange current of preset frequency; Amplifier 34b; Frequency detector 34c; And the output that is used for the AM modulator that will be detected converts the A/D converter 34d of digital signal to.
Receiving electrode 33-1 arranges in approximately perpendicular mode to 32-5 with respect to emitting electrode 32-1 to 33-5, and has the point of crossing respectively.Yet at each place, point of crossing, these electrodes do not contact with each other.In other words, on each point of crossing, between emitting electrode 32 and receiving electrode 33, form electric capacity.Therefore, when exchange current that oscillator 31 produced and exported was provided for emitting electrode 32, exchange current was by flowing through corresponding receiving electrode 33 via the electrostatic induction of point of crossing (or capacitor).
When oscillator 31 when emitting electrode 32 applies exchange current, the capacitive coupling based on the capacitor between emitting electrode 32 and the receiving electrode 33 produce exchange current on receiving electrode 33, and the exchange current that is produced is provided for receiver 34.
The intensity of the exchange current that receiver 34 will receive by capacitor outputs to processor 35 as digital signal.Receiver 34 only depends on the electric capacity of capacitor by the intensity of the exchange current of capacitor reception.The electric capacity of capacitor keeps static, fixing value, unless for example have deformation on emitting electrode 32 or receiving electrode 33.Therefore, as long as emitting electrode 32 is applied identical exchange current, receiver 34 is constant by the intensity of the exchange current that capacitor receives.
Should be noted that if live body (for example user's finger) near the point of crossing between emitting electrode 32 and the receiving electrode 33, the capacitance variations of capacitor takes place at this place, point of crossing at this.Because live body can be regarded as virtual earth, so if exchange current is applied on the emitting electrode 32, then receiving electrode 33 intensity that receives and be provided for the exchange current of receiver 34 by capacitor reduces the amount of the electric current that equals inflow place (or live body).
Based on aforesaid operations, processor 35 determines that by using received signal whether live body is near the point of crossing between the electrode, perhaps measuring live body has many nearly (the perhaps distances between live body and the point of crossing) apart from the point of crossing, wherein this received signal is carried out the AM modulation by the AM modulator of receiver 34 and changed by A/D converter 34d.
Therefore, if a plurality of action button 9-1 that are arranged as matrix each in the 9-25 is arranged on each point of crossing, then the user makes processor 35 detect live body near action button 9-i (the perhaps point of crossing below this button) with finger touch action button 9-i, thereby provides detection signal to CPU 101.
Thereby, on operating block 8, be different from the status detection signal (" pressing " state will be described later) of expression push button 9, the detection signal of the state (" contact " state will be described later) of definite expression user's finger contact sheet 20.
In example shown in Figure 9 because action button 9-1 is arranged as the matrixes that 5 row * 5 are listed as to 9-25, arrange five receiving electrode 33-1 to 33-5 and five emitting electrode 32-1 to 32-5; Yet the number of the number of emitting electrode 32 and receiving electrode 33 is not limited thereto.Preferably, arrange emitting electrode 32 and receiving electrode 33, make a point of crossing always be arranged in below each action button.
In example shown in Figure 9, the angle that forms between each point of crossing place's emitting electrode 32 and receiving electrode 33 is but is not limited to approximate 90 degree.Can arrange emitting electrode 32 and receiving electrode 33 in any way,, and between it, form the point of crossing as long as these electrodes do not contact with each other.
The basic operation that will carry out on operating block 8 has below been described.
The user is with pointing with following eight kinds of mode operating operation pieces 8.
(1) " touch ": do not have contact sheet 20 (or action button 9), user's finger touch action button 9 from user's finger.
(2) " the long-time touch ": user's finger keeps in touch action button 9 and reaches certain time period.
(3) " move ": when user's finger remained on the sheet material 20, user's finger moved to another action button 9.
(4) " press ": user's finger is pressed one of 25 action buttons 9 (thereby making electrode 4 and wiring 23 conductings).
(5) " press for a long time ": the user points and keeps pressing one of 25 action buttons 9 and reach certain time period.
(6) " pull ": when user's finger was pressed one of 25 action buttons 9, user's finger moved to another action button 9 (user points to move and presses along any action button 9 to the route of object run button).
(7) " release ": user's finger discharges (and the user points still operating of contacts button 9) from down state.
(8) " remove ": user's finger separates from action button 9.
Above-mentioned eight operations are mainly used in following purpose.
" touch " for example is used for when showing the navigation button described later, reproducing control button or context button on displaying block 7, and " selection " or " aiming at (focus) " is presented at one of a plurality of zones (or project) on the screen.
" press " and be used for " entering " selected item from " touch " state.
" the long-time touch " for example is used for roll screen up and down.Also can carry out this rolling operation by operation the navigation button.The time period that is used for " the long-time touch " for example is but was not limited to 0.5 to 1.0 second.

Portable electric appts 1 shows three basic screens on displaying block 7.They for example are (1) reproduction screens (JPEG display screen) as shown in figure 15, (2) screen (list screen and setting screen are reproduced in main menu screen, scouting screen, programming) is selected in the tabulation shown in Figure 11 to 14, and (3) matrix is as shown in figure 18 selected screen (recording cover scouting screen).
In addition, portable electric appts 1 shows three basic button screens on displaying block 7.Their (a) the navigation buttons that is aforesaid, (b) reproducing control button, and (c) context button.
The navigation button is used for all screens (1) as implied above, (2) and (3).The navigation button for example comprises be used for the button that switches between above-mentioned reproduction screen, above-mentioned main menu screen and other screen; Be used for button that the music title (alphabetically, user preferences etc.) that is presented on the screen is sorted; And be used to the button that moves to down one page and return prevpage.
The reproducing control button is shown on the above-mentioned reproduction screen.The reproducing control button for example comprises the button that is used for inserting captions, F.F. during reproducing music, refund and jumping joint.
Context button is shown in above-mentioned tabulation and selects screen and matrix to select in the screen.Context button comprises and is used for adding music to button that tabulation is reproduced in programming.Especially, reproduce list screen for programming, context button comprises the button that is used for from tabulation deletion music and transposing music.
Select on the screen in tabulation, select theme (or project) only to divide by the row on the display screen, and select on the screen at matrix, project is divided by the row and column on the display screen (or with matrix-style).Therefore, select screens only different on the image that will show for two, but selecting and entering the project that begins to reproduce, and programming is created in option, and to reproduce purpose aspect maintenance such as tabulation identical to show context button.
Programming is reproduced tabulation and is used for listing extraly several first users and wants the music of listening, and with these listed several songs of this sequential reproduction.For example can register nearly five programmings and reproduce tabulation.The user can select and enter these five programmings to reproduce any one of tabulating by setting screen.
The operation of portable electric appts 1 has below been described.The operation that portable electric appts 1 is used for reproducing music is at first described.
With reference to Figure 19, show the process flow diagram of the operation of expression portable electric appts 1.
When the user slides power switch 3 when connecting the power supply of portable electric appts 1, system controller 100 start-up systems for example show predetermined startup screen thus, show main menu screen 40 (step 1901) shown in Figure 11 then on displaying block 7.On main menu screen 40, be arranged in a row project " type ", " artist ", " disc ", " all music " etc.This screen that rolls illustrates extra project.Main menu screen 40 allows the user for example to search for desired music by type or disc with layer mode.
The T.T. 47, the music reproduced of indication of the time counter 43 of the music that is used for reproducing, whole selected music bar 44, battery indicator 46 and the current time 48 in the time that is passed T.T. 47 for example arranged in the bottom of main menu screen 40.For example, if when main menu screen 40 shows reproducing music, the title of this music is shown in the square frame 42 by dotted line.
On main menu screen 40, the user can be listed as the corresponding operating button (as shown in Figure 9) of one of the 4th row to one of the 5th row and the 2nd by the 1st on the push piece 8 row, selects desired project.Should be noted that to select the 2nd on the screen to be listed as between the 4th row in all tabulations that adds main menu screen 40 as broad as long, the user can select the 2nd to be listed as any one of the 4th row.
Below described an example, wherein the user begins to search for from " type ".When touching the 1st row the 2nd, the user is listed as one of action button 9 in the 4th row, action button 9-3 during promptly for example the 1st row and the 1st is listed as, the time ("Yes" of step 1902), as shown in figure 12, display controller 106 shows " type " (step 1903) with first color (for example light blue), thereby cursor C is moved to the project (step 1904) of respective operations button 9-3.
Should note, if carry out move operation to select another (will appointment) project from the state of having selected " type ", from action button 9-2 to action button 9-3 to action button 9-4 to action button 9-5 ("Yes" of step 1905), the action button 9 from " artist " to " disc " to " all music " to " my history " that display controller 106 respective user touch is display highlighting in proper order, and the project painted (step 1906) of indicating for each cursor with first color.When the user when the 5th row of expression " my history " is gone up executive chairman's time touch operation ("Yes" of step 1908), screen further rolls downwards to show sundry item (step 1908).
When user's push button 9-3 under this state ("Yes" of step 1909), display controller 106 usefulness second colors (for example mazarine) are project " type " painted (step 1910).When user's releasing operation button 9-3 ("Yes" of step 1911), enter project " type " (step 1912).Then, display controller 106 shows screen shown in Figure 13.When the user for example touch, press and the action button 9-18 that discharges the 4th row and the 3rd row when entering " allusion ", the screen that display controller 106 shows as shown in figure 14.
If in Figure 14, select and enter " Bach ", select then and enter " aria on the G string " ("No" of step 1913 is to step 1914), the reproduction screen 45 (step 1915) that display controller 106 shows as shown in figure 15.Simultaneously, CPU 101 outputs to dma controller 102 to the signal that is used for reproducing music " aria on the G string ".Thereby dma controller 102 is transferred to audio decoder 108 with the data DMA of this music, decodes by the data of 108 pairs of transmission of this audio decoder, is used for reproducing.
Reproduce screen 45 and show image 49, music title 50 and the ongoing mark 51 of expression reproduction with above-mentioned jpeg format.Image 49 is the images that are used for music, disc, artist or type that are recorded on the HDD 115.This image for example can be the image that the user downloads from the internet by PC, perhaps for example is that the user takes the image that enters portable electric appts 1 from digital camera.If the user does not import by operating block 8 during reproducing music, then the image that shows on the screen 45 such as screen protection can reproduced.
When at display reproduction screen 45 time, among action button 9-5,9-10,9-15,9-20 and the 9-25 in the 5th row of user's touch operation piece 8 any one the time ("Yes" of step 1916), display controller 106 shows reproducing control button 56 (step 1917) as shown in figure 19.Reproducing control button 56 comprises fast forward button 56a, refunds button 56b, stop button 56c and volume button 56d and 56e.Five button respective operations buttons of this of reproducing control button 56 9-5,9-10,9-15,9-20 and 9-25.
When display reproduction control knob 56 and user touch the button 9-5 of the 1st row and the 5th row, perhaps when display reproduction control knob 56, the user touch and from touch condition be not moved upwards up to with not removing action button 9-5 (yet, if touch operation button 9-5 is with display reproduction control knob 56 from the beginning, then the user does not need to carry out move operation), display controller 106 moves to corresponding project with cursor C.
When the long-time push button of user 9-5 ("Yes" of step 1918), display controller 106 usefulness the 3rd colors (for example purple) are to fast forward button 56a painted (step 1919), and CPU 101 reproduces the music (step 1920) of current reproduction in the mode of F.F..Forwarding operation can be realized by some packet interval that only reproduces in a plurality of bags that form music data stream.This is identical in rewind operations.
If the user presses then releasing operation button 9-5 and do not press for a long time, CPU 101 stops to reproduce the music of current reproduction, and begins to reproduce next music in the same disc, or reproduces next music (step 1921) in the tabulation in program.Should be noted that reproducing control button 56 may be displayed on (" YES " of step 1922 is to step 1923) on the main menu screen shown in Figure 13 40.
On the other hand, if want to listen the user of " allusion " in Figure 13, to select and entered " rock and roll " mistakenly and come the next one " artist " screen, but want to return " type " screen, the operation below taking place.For example, when on user's touch operation piece 8 the 1st the row action button 9-1,9-6,9-11,9-16 and 9-21 in any one the time ("Yes" of step 1913), as shown in figure 16, display controller 106 show navigator buttons 55 (step 1924).The navigation button 55 comprise be used to show current not at the button 55a of the upper end screen that shows on the displaying block 7, be used to come the button 55b that reproduces screen, be used to turn back to the button 55c of last screen, for example be used to change the button 55e that tabulation is selected the button 55d of the project order (or to entry sorting) on the screen and be used to show the current lower end screen that does not show on displaying block 7.Five button respective operations buttons of this of the navigation button 55 9-1,9-6,9-11,9-16 and 9-21.
When for example show navigator button 55 and user touch the button 9-11 of the 3rd row and the 1st row, or when show navigator button 55, and the user touches once and when touch condition is not moved upwards up to action button 9-11 with not removing (yet, if touch operation button 9-11 is with show navigator button 55 from the beginning, then the user does not need to carry out move operation), display controller 106 moves to corresponding project with cursor C.When the user pressed then releasing operation button 9-11, readjustment was as " type " screen (step 1925) shown in Figure 13 of last screen.At this constantly, display controller 106 is show navigator button 55 on " type " screen also.Then, when the user touch, press and the action button 9-18 that discharges the 4th row and the 3rd row (perhaps can be the 4th row and the 2nd or 4 row) when for example entering " allusion ", display controller 106 is from displaying block 7 deletion the navigation buttons 55.Should be noted that the navigation button 55 can also be presented at ("Yes" of step 1926 is to step 1927) on the main menu screen shown in Figure 11 40.In this case, for the navigation button 55, show to be used for main menu screen 40 is switched to the button 55b that reproduces screen 45.When the user selected this button 55b, display controller 106 is display reproduction screen 45 (step 1928) on displaying block 7.Equally, can reproduce show navigator button 55 on the screen 45, during reproducing music, moving to another screen, or select and entering another song.
With reference to Figure 20, show expression and be used for process flow diagram by the operation of front cover scouting screen option.
(step 2001) user selects and when entering " front cover search " (step 2002) when showing main menu screen 40, then appearance front cover scouting screen (step 2003) as shown in figure 18.In front cover scouting screen 60, project is arranged as the matrix that the five-element be multiply by three row.For project, for example the display cover image 61, such as song disc CD.The user can select and enter these surface plots as one of 61, thereby reproduces the music that is included among the selected disc CD.The for example corresponding action button that is arranged in the 1st to 5 row and the 2nd to 4 row of these projects.
When the user selects one of button of the 1st to 5 row and the 2nd to 4 row and enters this selection (or touching, press and discharge one of them button) in the time of display cover scouting screen 60 (step 2004), display controller 106 shows the screen (not shown) ("Yes" of step 2005, step 2006) that is included in the music list in the disc that is entered.When the user selects and enter a piece of music that (or touch, press and discharge) will listen from music list (step 2007), system controller 100 reproduces that song (step 2008) selected and that enter.
Alternatively, when the user selects on front cover scouting screen 60 and enters a disc (step 2004), system controller 100 can begin to reproduce selected disc ("No" of step 2005, step 2009) from the first included song of disc.
In the aforesaid operations sequence, user's finger can be not operating of contacts piece 8 always; The user can remove once midway and then touch, and perhaps can touch the action button 9 different with the last action button that touches 9, only causes aiming at once more the demonstration of demonstrations (focus display) or cursor.
As mentioned above, in the present embodiment, displaying block 7 be arranged in operating block 8 near, and the position of action button 9 is relevant with the position of cursor C on being shown in displaying block 7, thereby allow the user when action button 9 is operated by seeing that displaying block 7 confirms the position of cursor C, cursor C points according to the user and moves.Above-mentioned novel arrangement allows the user to carry out by intuitive operation action button 9 and selects and enter operation.In addition, because this novel arrangement does not need to arrange respectively any button that is used to select and enter project, this configuration is suitable for reducing the size of portable electric appts 1.Generally speaking, the matrix arrangements of action button tends to increase the difficulty of user's operation; Yet present embodiment allows the user with fewer purpose step and operate intuitively.
For portable electric appts 1, come display items display (or zone) according to the represented zone of cursor C according to present embodiment.For example, in main menu screen, project " type ", " artist ", " disc " etc. show by row.In front cover scouting screen 60, project is shown as the five-element and multiply by three row.For the selection of these items displayed like this with enter, the user can only select and enter the action button 9 of corresponding each desired project, selects and enter operation thereby allow the user to carry out intuitively.In addition, this novel arrangement does not need to arrange respectively any button that is used for project choice, thereby makes the physical size that is easy to reduce portable electric appts 1.
For the portable electric appts 1 according to present embodiment, the color that each project shows changed according to the scheduled operation stage.For example, the user touches one of action button 9 of the 2nd to 4 row on the main menu screen, and is painted to project " type " with first color (for example light blue), and selects corresponding project.When the user in this stage during push button 9, painted with second color (for example dark blue), and enter this selection to project " type ".Thereby, the user can be only by being identified in the color of each project that shows on the displaying block 7, and recognize each operational phase intuitively.
For portable electric appts 1, can detect the operation and the state of " touch ", " the long-time touch ", " moving ", " pressing ", " pressing for a long time ", " pulling " and " release " respectively by action button 9 according to present embodiment.This novel arrangement allows the user only to use an action button 9 to carry out various operations, thereby makes the physical size that reduces portable electric appts 1 easily.
For the portable electric appts 1 according to present embodiment, for example the surface plot of song disc CD is shown as project as 61.Select any one surface plot as 61 and enter this selection and allow user to reproduce the music that is included among the selected disc CD.Therefore, the user can be by selecting to comprise the CD image of song and entering these selections and reproduce these songs with intuitive manner.
Below describe the roll display operation of describing in step 1907 shown in Figure 19 and 1908 in detail.As shown in figure 21, suppose any one in the action button 9 that the user for example arranges in the footline on main menu screen 40 the 5th row and the 2nd to 4 row, for example the action button 9-24 in the 4th row goes up executive chairman's time touch operation.Then display controller 106 usefulness cursor C aim at the zone that shows respective operations button 9-24, and move down scroll bar 41 on screen.Thereby whole list-item screen moves with white arrow indicated direction (making progress).When whole list-item screen moved, display controller 106 continued to aim at the zone that shows respective operations button 9-24.Long-time touch as user's clear operation button 9-24, be that the user carries out when removing operation, display controller 106 stops to roll, and according to this operation, is become the zone of current selection by the zone (zone of respective operations button 9-24) of cursor indication when rolling operation stops.In this case, when operation was removed in execution as mentioned above, display controller 106 continued display highlightings.
Rolling operation on the front cover scouting screen 60 shown in Figure 22 is identical with main menu screen 40.The user touches one of action button 9 of top line the 1st row and the 2nd to 4 row, for example the action button 9-3 of the 3rd row for a long time.Then display controller 106 usefulness cursor C aim at the zone that shows respective operations button 9-3, and the scroll bar 41 that moves up on screen.Thereby whole front cover project screen moves with white arrow indicated direction (downwards).When whole front cover project screen moved, display controller 106 continued to aim at the zone that shows respective operations button 9-3.Long-time touch as user's clear operation button 9-3, be that the user carries out when removing operation, display controller 106 stops to roll, and according to this operation, is become the zone of current selection by the zone (zone of respective operations button 9-3) of cursor indication when rolling operation stops.
Should be noted that system controller 100 can carry out control, make the color of aiming at the zone that shows with long-time touch of cursor C from touching constantly the color change of (up to determining the long-time moment that touches).
As mentioned above, the user can be only by the state that continues user's touch operation button 9 each screen that rolls, make the rolling operation facility thus.Especially, compare with the rolling operation that the state of " pressing " by the ongoing operation button is realized, this novel arrangement allows to alleviate the burden of user's finger thus by continuing the rolling operation of " touch ".
For each screen that scrolls up, the user can only touch the action button 9 of the 1st row for a long time.For each screen that rolls downwards, the user can only touch the action button 9 of the 5th row for a long time.This has improved the intuitively sensation of user in operation portable electric appts 1.
Should be noted that present embodiment is not limited to the foregoing description, thereby and can realize with various other forms.
For the portable electric appts 1 according to the foregoing description, operating block 8 is arranged on the front surface 2a of main body 2; It also is feasible operating block 8 being arranged on the rear surface 2b of main body 2.In this case, operating block 8 can be arranged in and for example allow on the position that the user operates operating block 8 with forefinger.
Alternatively, operating block 8 can be arranged in the mode of separating on a plurality of positions of main body 2.For example, handle can be arranged in each end of main body 2 soon, and these handles fast near, can arrange two operating blocks.In this case, it is fast that the user can hold two handles with the left hand and the right hand, with user's opposing thumb operating block operated.
In the above description, the portable electric appts 1 according to the foregoing description is used to carry out reproducing music.It also is feasible using portable electric appts 1 for example to reproduce film, TV programme etc.
Shown in Figure 18 and 20, pass through front cover scouting screen 60 chosen contents according to portable electric appts 1 permission of the foregoing description.Because the zone of displaying block 7 is relatively limited on portable electric appts 1, if each surface plot picture for example is shown as the five-element and multiply by three row, then each surface plot picture must be presented in the less relatively viewing area, makes thus to be difficult to easily select the surface plot picture sometimes.
In order to overcome the problems referred to above, each surface plot picture can show in the amplification mode.The amplification of below having described the surface plot picture shows.
With reference to Figure 23 A and Figure 23 B, show the method for on front cover scouting screen 60, amplifying display cover image 61.Shown in Figure 23 A, if the user for example touch operation button 9-13 and the zone that cursor C moved to respective operations button 9-13 to select surface plot as 61 o'clock, detecting back 0.1 second of touch, with the mode display cover image 61 of 5 times of about amplifications, shown in Figure 23 B.At this constantly, amplify surface plot as 62 centre coordinate with to amplify preceding surface plot identical as 61 centre coordinate.Yet, all be not limited to above-mentioned value to amplifying the time and the amplification multiple that show from senses touch.
Figure 24 is that expression is used for the process flow diagram with the operation of amplifying mode display cover image 61.As shown in the figure, when front cover scouting screen 60 showed on displaying block 7, operating block 8 determined whether user's finger contacts (step 2101) with operating block 8.There are not contact ("No" of step 2101), then display controller 106 whole display cover scouting screens 60 (step 2104) if find user's finger.
If find user's finger contact ("Yes" of step 2101), display controller 106 determines that cursor C are parked in surface plot as (step 2102) on 61.There are not to stop ("No" of step 2102), display controller 106 whole display cover scouting screens 60 (step 2104) if find cursor C.Stopped ("Yes" of step 2102) if find cursor C, display controller 106 determines further whether cursor C has stopped n second (step 2103).In this example, n=0.1.Do not stop n second ("No" of step 2103), then display controller 106 whole display cover scouting screens 60 (step 2104) if find cursor C.
Stopped n second ("Yes" of step 2103) if find cursor C, but then display controller 106 determines that zone that cursor C stop is not to amplify surface plot as 62 viewing area (step 2105).As mentioned above, in the amplification of surface plot picture, make amplify surface plot as 62 centre coordinate with to amplify preceding surface plot identical as 61 centre coordinate.Yet if attempt to amplify the 1st row and the 5th capable surface plot as 61 with same center coordinate, according to enlargement factor, these images may spill-over go out front cover scouting screen 60.Therefore, if but surface plot looks like to extend viewing area ("No" of step 2105), if i.e. cursor positioning is at the 1st row or the 5th row, then display controller 106 is revised and is amplified surface plots as 62 centre coordinate, make amplify surface plot as 62 the centre coordinate surface plot before amplify as the center position displacement (step 2106) of 61 centre coordinate to front cover scouting screen 60.
, then surface plot is read the SDRAM 113 (step 2107) from HDD 115 as 61 if find image ("Yes" of step 2105) but in the viewing area.As mentioned above, as 61, use the jpeg image 122 that shows at the song reproduction period for example shown in Figure 15 and for surface plot without change.This makes must not prepare to amplify surface plot respectively as 62, thereby for example saves memory capacity.
Then, based on reading amplification surface plot among the SDRAM 113 as 62 size, display controller 106 calculates and amplifies surface plots as 62 viewing areas (step 2108) on displaying block 7.At this constantly, if in step 2106, carried out the coordinate modification, consider this modification.
Then, the surface plot before display controller 106 will amplify is saved among the SDRAM 113 (step 2109) as 61.Thereby, be shown as surface plot as 61 the time when in original integral body shows, amplifying surface plot once more as 62, no longer need to repaint surface plot as 61.When finishing when being saved in storer as 61 surface plot, based on the result of aforementioned calculation, the amplification surface plot that display controller 106 will as above read is presented on the displaying block 7 (step 2110) as 62.The user touching action button 9 during, amplify surface plot and keep showing as 62.The user carries out push on as 62 by operating block 8 amplifying surface plot, to determine desired disc, afterwards, for example carries out the reproduction of selected disc as mentioned above.
Should be noted that display controller 106 determines whether cursor C stop more than m (n<m second in this zone if show the amplification surface plot as 62 in the zone of the 1st row or the 5th row; In this case, m=1 or 2), promptly whether the user touches should regional action button 9 being longer than m second (step 2111).Be longer than m second if passed through, display controller 106 deletions amplification surface plot is as 62 (maybe will amplify surface plot is saved among the SDRAM 113 as 62), then the surface plot of being preserved is turned back to this zone as 61, thus roll display front cover scouting screen 60 (step 2112) up or down.When each generation user operated, display controller 106 repeated aforesaid operations.
Aforesaid operations, the i.e. amplification of each surface plot picture show, make the easier content of watching each to select of user, make the user can more easily carry out the selection directly perceived of above-mentioned content.Should be noted that the view data scheme of using is not limited to JPEG in the front cover enlarged image; For example bitmap also is available.
For the portable electric appts 1 according to the foregoing description, if detect long-time touch, each screen of roll display then is shown in Figure 19 and 21.Yet under the situation of portable electric appts, internal bus speed is limited with pulling ability, makes above-mentioned roll display can't accelerate to above certain rank.Therefore,, for example browse being stored in all alternative in the portable electric appts 1 songs, some inconvenience can take place if the user wants by roll display to check fast many information.
Therefore, in the present invention, show that by changing object it also is feasible that line number and object Show Color improve rolling speed.The change that shows line number and Show Color has below been described.
With reference to Figure 25 A, 25B and 25C, show a kind of method, wherein object shows that line number and object Show Color change in roll display.In these figure, used the example of whole music list display screen 70, all songs that wherein are stored among the HDD 115 show in tabulation.
Touch one of action button 9 in the 5th row and the 2nd to 4 row with by cursor C being moved to the 5th row when carrying out downward roll display when the user is long-time, general practice is with roll in five-element's display object (letter) (for example with reference to Figure 21) on screen.Zi Mu color for example is set at white (black background) in this case.
When screen had rolled predetermined line number (for example 20 row), the color (in this case, the letter representation song title) of the object 81 in furthest the 1st row of rotating direction is changed into the color that brightness is lower than white, and was for example light grey, shown in Figure 25 A.When further roll screen, do not show the object in the 1st row, show the object in all the other four lines, shown in Figure 25 B.Simultaneously, in the 2nd row color change of object 82 be than above-mentioned light gray more near the Dark grey of background black, and the 3rd the color change of object 83 in capable is above-mentioned light gray.When more further during roll screen, for example also do not show the object in the 2nd row, show the object in all the other triplex rows, and the color change of the object 83 in the 3rd row is above-mentioned Dark grey, and the color change of the object 84 in the 4th row is above-mentioned light gray, shown in Figure 25 C.Thereby, in this case, the object in the row of the 5th on the bottom of display scrolling direction normally only.
With reference to Figure 26, show the setting table that is used to set above-mentioned demonstration line number and above-mentioned Show Color.As shown in the figure, according to rolling line number and rolling time, show that line number and Show Color are set to 5 ranks.
The 1st rank is represented following situation: the rolling line number is 0 to 19; And show that line number is 5; And letter color is as normally be white.
The 2nd rank is represented following situation: screen rolled 20 the row; Show that line number is 5; And the letter color of the object of the 1st row or the 5th row is changed into the color littler than white brightness (light gray).
3rd level is not represented following situation: screen rolled 21 the row; Show that line number is 5; The color change of changing into the object of above-mentioned grayish the 1st row or the 5th row is a Dark grey; And directly under this Dark grey object or on the 2nd row or the color change of the object of the 4th row be above-mentioned light gray.
The 4th rank is represented following situation: screen rolled 22 the row; Do not show the object in the 1st row or the 5th row; Show that line number is 4; Directly under the object in the row that does not show or on the 2nd row or the color change of the object of the 4th row be Dark grey; And the 3rd the row in object, promptly under this Dark grey object or on two objects, color change be the light gray.
The 5th rank is represented following situation: screen rolled 23 the row; Do not show the object in the 2nd row and the 4th row, directly under each object that does not show or on the 3rd object color change in going be Dark grey; And directly under this Dark grey object or on the 4th row or the object color change in the 2nd row be light grey.
These setting datas are stored among the HDD 115 in advance.Should be noted that in above-mentioned example show that line number reduces to 3, because considered line number when keeping high roll display speed, wherein by user's dynamic visual acuity degree, the user can easily catch up with each target of rolling with this line number.Therefore, line number is not limited to three.The normal line number that shows is not limited to the above-mentioned five-element.
With reference to Figure 27, show expression and be used for the process flow diagram that above-mentioned change shows the operation of line number and Show Color.As shown in the figure, when demonstration has list screen than multi-object, during such as whole tabulation display screen 70 for example (step 2201), display controller 106 checks whether roll display begin (step 2202).If finding not carry out rolls ("No" of step 2201), display controller 106 is based on above-mentioned setting data, with normal line number and color (for example five-element and white) display object (step 2205).If roll beginning ("Yes" of step 2202), it is capable more than n that display controller 106 determines whether screen has rolled, and this n is capable to be above-mentioned setting line number (for example n=20).If it is capable to find that line number is less than n, display controller 106 is carried out aforesaid normal demonstration, does not show line number and Show Color (step 2205) and do not change.If screen has rolled more than n capable ("Yes" of step 2203), display controller 106 is based on above-mentioned setting data, for example the line number setting is changed into four lines from the five-element and change into triplex row again, and simultaneously, Show Color is changed into light gray from white change into Dark grey (step 2204) again.Then, on the basis of the setting data that has changed, display controller 106 display changes show line number and Show Color, with display object (step 2205).When rolling operation taking place, display controller 106 repeats aforesaid operations at every turn.
Because aforesaid operations, object shows that line number reduces to triplex row from the normal five-element, makes for example to reduce the data volume that will call from HDD 115, with final raising rolling speed, thereby allows the user to check desired object fast.
In addition, show that line number gradually changes, and Show Color gradually changes also, make along with each object away from rotating direction, its brightness reduces, thereby allows the user easily to recognize improving gradually of rolling speed and do not need to use complicated animation.
Should be noted that beginning to change the rolling line number that shows line number and Show Color is not limited to 20 above-mentioned row.When beginning from rolling to begin to change when (for example 5 seconds) but not based on the rolling line number through predetermined amount of time shows that line number and Show Color also are feasible.
It also is feasible carrying out above-mentioned variation in horizontal rolling screen (based on row).The Show Color that stands to change can be any color, as long as these colors allow to recognize that rolling speed increases gradually.
Though the preferred embodiments of the present invention of having used concrete term description, this description only is used for schematic purpose, and should be appreciated that, can make various changes and variation, and can not depart from the essence and the scope of following claim.
