Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain secure double click input by performing input processing by deciding double click operation when the distance between two pen tip depressing actions is less than a set value and the time is less than a set value. CONSTITUTION:When a pen tip is pressed twice within the time limit of a timer T1 (S6), the coordinate positions P2 (X2, Y2) of the pen tip are obtained and the counting of the timer T1 is stopped (S9). The absolute value of the difference between the current coordinate position P2 and the coordinate position P1 at the time of the 1st pen tip depression is found and it is decided whether or not the absolute value is less than a set value (e) (S10). When the coordinate P2 is within a circle having the radius (e), it is decided that double clicking is performed at the position of the coordinate P1 (S11). Namely, the double clicking is decided when the time from the 1st action to the 2nd action of pen tip operation is shorter than the time of the timer T1 and the distance between the coordinate positions P1 and P2 is within the specific range (e).

When the pen tip is separated within the time limit of the timer T1 (S3), it is judged whether or not there is a second pen input within the time limit of the timer T1 (S6, S7), and by the time limit of the timer T1. When the pen tip is not pushed, it is determined that the pen is pushed to the position P1 and then released (S8). The judgment made so far is a normal pen input.

The absolute value (distance) of the difference between the coordinate position P2 at this time and the coordinate position P1 when the pen tip is pressed for the first time is obtained, and it is determined whether this absolute value is smaller than the set value e (S10). .

As shown in FIG. 2, the above-mentioned set value e means the radius of a circle centered on the coordinate P1 when the pen tip is pressed the first time, and the pen tip is pressed the second time.

Therefore, when the pen tip is pressed, the time from the first time to the second time is performed within the time limit of the timer T1.
When the distance between the coordinate positions P1 and P2 is within the predetermined range e, it is determined as a double click, and when the second pen tip pressing position is displaced within the distance e, it is also determined as a double click. As a result, it is possible to eliminate the erroneous determination and the erroneous operation due to the positional deviation of the pen tip, even though the pen tip has a double-click function of operating the pen tip twice in a predetermined time T1.

As described above, according to the present invention, the input process is performed as a double-click when the distance between two pressings of the pen tip is within the set value e and the time is within the set value T1. The same function as double-clicking with a mouse can be realized by pen input, and furthermore, the problem of positional displacement that tends to occur with pen input can be solved and reliable double-click input can be obtained.
