〔産業上の利用分野〕
本発明は人間の目の視点を利用してＣＲＴ上のカーンル
位［を決定するポインティング装置に関する。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a pointing device that determines the Kahnle position on a CRT using the viewpoint of the human eye.
従来、この種のポインティング装置には例えばマウス装
置があり、こＯマウス装置には光学式のものと機械式の
ものがある。前者はマウス装置の底に発光する部分とそ
れを感知する部分が設けられており、マウス装置の移動
により光を感知する部分が移動距離を判断して座標（Ｃ
ＲＴのカーソル位置）を移動させるようになっていた。Conventionally, this type of pointing device includes, for example, a mouse device, which includes an optical type and a mechanical type. The former has a light-emitting part and a light-sensing part on the bottom of the mouse device, and when the mouse device moves, the light-sensing part judges the distance traveled and calculates the coordinates (C
RT cursor position).
後者はマウス装置の底に球状の鉄玉が設けられており、
マウス装置の移動により鉄玉が回転し、回転距離分座標
を移動させていた。The latter has a spherical iron ball at the bottom of the mouse device,
When the mouse device was moved, the iron ball rotated, moving the coordinates by the rotational distance.
上述した従来の装置では、マウス装置の移動により座標
を決定するように構成されているので狭い場所では使い
難く、さらに手を用いて操作させなければならないため
キーボードからその都度子を離さなければならず操作性
が悪いという欠点があった。The above-mentioned conventional device is configured to determine coordinates by moving the mouse device, so it is difficult to use in a narrow space, and furthermore, since the device must be operated using the hands, the child must be removed from the keyboard each time. However, it had the disadvantage of poor operability.
本発明は人間の視点位置を検出し、その位置が指定され
たことを確認する視点確認部と、確認された視点位置を
座標データに変換する座標変換部と、変換された座標デ
ータを外部装置へ出力する出力部とを設けたものである
。The present invention includes a viewpoint confirmation unit that detects a human viewpoint position and confirms that the position has been specified, a coordinate conversion unit that converts the confirmed viewpoint position into coordinate data, and a coordinate conversion unit that converts the confirmed viewpoint position into coordinate data. The output section is provided with an output section for outputting to.
本発明は人間の視点位置を検出し、その位置に対応した
座標値に変換することにより、ＣＲＴ上のカーソルの位
置を設定することができる。The present invention can set the position of a cursor on a CRT by detecting the position of a human's viewpoint and converting it into coordinate values corresponding to the position.
次に本発明の実施例について図を用いて説明する。 Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
第１図において、１はレンズ内に組込まれ人間の視点位
置を検出し、例えばまばたきによりその位置が指定され
たことを確認する視点確認部、２はフレームの上部に組
込まれ、確認された視点位置を座標データに変換する座

Ｔ）へ出力するコネクタ等の出力インターフェース部、
４は視点確認部、座標変換部および出力インターフェー
ス部とを物理的に一体化するように固定させるメガネの
つるに相当する固定部である。In Fig. 1, 1 is a viewpoint confirmation unit that is built into the lens and detects the position of a person's viewpoint and confirms that the position has been specified by, for example, blinking an eye, and 2 is a part that is built into the upper part of the frame to confirm that the position has been specified. A coordinate conversion unit 3 converts the position into coordinate data, and 3 converts the converted coordinate data to an external device (CR).
output interface section such as a connector that outputs to T),
Reference numeral 4 denotes a fixing section corresponding to the temple of glasses that fixes the viewpoint confirmation section, the coordinate conversion section, and the output interface section so as to be physically integrated.
また、第２図に示すように視点確認部１と座標変換部２
はバスａで接続され、座標変換部２と出力インター７エ
ース３はバスｂで接続されている。In addition, as shown in FIG. 2, a viewpoint confirmation section 1 and a coordinate conversion section 2
are connected by a bus a, and the coordinate conversion unit 2 and the output interface 7 ace 3 are connected by a bus b.
このような構成により、ＣＲＴ上のカーソル位置を移動
させる場合、人間がＣＲＴのどこを見ているかをその視
点位置を視点確認部１で検出し、まばたきをする間隔が
所定時間以上であればその視点位置が指定されたものと
確認し、バスａを介し確認されたデータが座標変換部２
へ入力される。次に座標変換部２ではその入力データを
ＣＲＴ上に表示できるような座標データに変換する。変
換されたデータはバスｂを介し出力インターフェース部
へ出力され、さらに出力インターフェース部３は入力さ
れたデータをＣＲＴへ出力する。With such a configuration, when moving the cursor position on the CRT, the viewpoint confirmation unit 1 detects the viewpoint position where the person is looking on the CRT, and if the blink interval is longer than a predetermined time, the viewpoint position is detected. After confirming that the viewpoint position has been specified, the data confirmed via bus a is transferred to the coordinate conversion unit 2.
is input to. Next, the coordinate conversion section 2 converts the input data into coordinate data that can be displayed on a CRT. The converted data is output to the output interface section via bus b, and the output interface section 3 further outputs the input data to the CRT.
このように、本実施例では人間の視点位置によりＣＲＴ
上のカーソル位置を設定することができる。In this way, in this embodiment, the CRT
You can set the upper cursor position.
以上説明したように本発明は入間の視点によりＣＲＴ上
のカーソル等の位置すなわち座標を決定することができ
るので、従来のようにマウス装Ｒを手を用いて移動させ
て指示する必要がないため、操作性が向上し且つ狭い場
所においても作業が行えるという効果がある。As explained above, the present invention can determine the position, or coordinates, of the cursor, etc. on the CRT from Iruma's viewpoint, so there is no need to move the mouse device R by hand and give instructions as in the past. This has the effect of improving operability and allowing work to be carried out even in narrow spaces.
