Description

情報処理装置Information processing device
　本発明は、タッチパネルを備えた情報処理装置に関する。 The present invention relates to an information processing apparatus including a touch panel.
　近年、携帯情報端末、携帯電話端末などの各種情報処理装置において、入力装置としてタッチパネルを備えたものが広く用いられつつある。タッチパネルは表示と入力の機能を備えており、情報端末のユーザーインターフェース等の画面を表示するとともに、ユーザーが画面に表示されたオブジェクト、ボタン等を指で触れて操作することができる。またはスタイラスと呼ばれるペン等で操作することも可能である。ユーザーは画面に表示されたオブジェクトに対して操作するため、直感的な操作が可能となる。 In recent years, in various information processing apparatuses such as a portable information terminal and a mobile phone terminal, those equipped with a touch panel as an input device are being widely used. The touch panel has display and input functions, displays a screen such as a user interface of an information terminal, and allows a user to touch and operate objects, buttons, and the like displayed on the screen with a finger. Alternatively, it can be operated with a pen called a stylus. Since the user operates an object displayed on the screen, an intuitive operation is possible.
　近年はこれらに加え、ユーザーの指がタッチパネルに接触する前の近接状態を検知することにより、タッチパネルを用いた情報処理装置の操作性を向上させる装置が出てきている。ここで、近接を検知するタッチパネルとしては、例えば静電容量の変化を検知するものが知られている。このタッチパネルは、ユーザーの指とタッチパネル上の電極との間に生じる静電容量の検知感度を高めることによって、ユーザーの指の接触だけでなく近接状態についても検知するようにしたものである。 Recently, in addition to these, devices that improve the operability of an information processing device using a touch panel have come out by detecting a proximity state before a user's finger touches the touch panel.

　以下、本発明の実施の形態について、図面を参照しながら説明する。 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
　（実施の形態１）
　図１は本発明の実施の形態１における情報処理装置の構成を示すブロック図である。なお、図１においては、発明にかかる構成のみを図示しており、適応される装置等におけるその他の要素についての図示は省略する。 (Embodiment 1)
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the information processing apparatus according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. In FIG. 1, only the configuration according to the invention is shown, and the other elements in the apparatus to be applied are not shown.
　情報処理装置１００は、タッチパネル１０１、接触検知部１０２、近接検知部１０３、ファイル操作部１０４、記憶部１０５、表示制御部１０６、および表示部１０７を備える。情報処理装置１００は、ユーザーインターフェースとして、複数のファイル等のオブジェクトをタッチパネル１０１の表示部１０７に表示する。 The information processing apparatus 100 includes a touch panel 101, a contact detection unit 102, a proximity detection unit 103, a file operation unit 104, a storage unit 105, a display control unit 106, and a display unit 107. The information processing apparatus 100 displays objects such as a plurality of files on the display unit 107 of the touch panel 101 as a user interface.
　タッチパネル１０１は指、スタイラス等の入力指示部の接触の検知だけでなく、入力指示部の近接状態を検知可能であり、接触検知部１０２で入力指示部の接触を検知し、近接検知部１０３で入力指示部の近接状態を検知する。 The touch panel 101 can detect not only the contact of the input instruction unit such as a finger and a stylus but also the proximity state of the input instruction unit. The contact detection unit 102 detects the contact of the input instruction unit, and the proximity detection unit 103 detects the contact of the input instruction unit. The proximity state of the input instruction unit is detected.
　接触検知部１０２は、例えば透明電極膜２枚を、隙間を設けて重ねることによって、入力指示部で押されると電極膜が接触し電気が流れ位置を特定できる方式、または入力指示部と透明電極膜が貼られているタッチパネルとの間に生じる静電容量の変化を検知する方式により、入力指示部の接触状態を検知する。 The contact detection unit 102 is, for example, a method in which two transparent electrode films are overlapped with a gap so that the electrode film comes into contact with each other when pressed by the input instruction unit, and the position where electricity flows can be specified, or the input instruction unit and the transparent electrode The contact state of the input instruction unit is detected by a method of detecting a change in capacitance generated between the touch panel to which the film is attached.
　近接検知部１０３は、例えば入力指示部と透明電極膜が貼られているタッチパネルとの間に生じる静電容量の変化を検知する方式、またはタッチパネルの上下、もしくは左右に取り付けられた光もしくは電波を送受する方式により入力指示部の近接状態を検知する。 For example, the proximity detection unit 103 detects a change in capacitance generated between the input instruction unit and the touch panel on which the transparent electrode film is attached, or light or radio waves attached to the top, bottom, left or right of the touch panel. The proximity state of the input instruction unit is detected by the transmission / reception method.
　ファイル操作部１０４は接触検知部１０２、または近接検知部１０３での入力指示部の検知をもとに記憶部１０５に保存されているファイルを制御する。 The file operation unit 104 controls a file stored in the storage unit 105 based on the detection of the input instruction unit in the contact detection unit 102 or the proximity detection unit 103.
　記憶部１０５はファイル操作部１０４が操作するファイルが保存されている。 The storage unit 105 stores a file operated by the file operation unit 104.
　表示制御部１０６はファイル操作部におけるファイルの選択制御に応じて、ファイルが選択状態の場合はファイルの表示を変更する制御を行う。 The display control unit 106 performs control to change the display of the file when the file is in the selected state in accordance with the file selection control in the file operation unit.
　表示部１０７は表示制御部１０６の制御に従ってファイルの表示を行う。 The display unit 107 displays a file according to the control of the display control unit 106.
　図２は、本発明の実施の形態１における情報処理装置１００の動作を説明するフローチャートである。なお、タッチパネル１０１の表示部１０７には複数のファイルが表示されている状態を前提とする。 FIG. 2 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the information processing apparatus 100 according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. It is assumed that a plurality of files are displayed on the display unit 107 of the touch panel 101.
　まず接触検知部１０２が、ユーザーの入力指示部がタッチパネル１０１のファイル表示領域に一定時間接触していることを検知する（ステップＳ１）。 First, the contact detection unit 102 detects that the user's input instruction unit is in contact with the file display area of the touch panel 101 for a predetermined time (step S1).
　ファイル操作部１０４が接触位置に表示されているファイルを選択状態に変更し、表示制御部１０６は選択状態に変更されたファイルの表示色を変更する（ステップＳ２）。 The file operation unit 104 changes the file displayed at the contact position to the selected state, and the display control unit 106 changes the display color of the file changed to the selected state (step S2).
　接触検知部１０２がユーザーの入力指示部がタッチパネル１０１との接触を検知し続けている場合は（ステップＳ３：ＮＯ）、選択状態のファイルに対してドラッグ等のファイル操作を行う（ステップＳ４）。 If the contact detection unit 102 continues to detect contact with the touch panel 101 by the user input instruction unit (step S3: NO), the file operation such as dragging is performed on the selected file (step S4).
　接触検知部１０２がユーザーの入力指示部がタッチパネル１０１との接触を検知しなくなった場合は（ステップＳ３：ＹＥＳ）、近接状態処理を実施する（ステップＳ５）。 When the contact detection unit 102 no longer detects contact with the touch panel 101 by the user input instruction unit (step S3: YES), proximity state processing is performed (step S5).
　近接状態処理では、まず近接検知部１０３により入力指示部が検知されていない場合は（ステップＳ６：ＮＯ）、ファイル操作部１０４は選択されている全ファイルの選択状態を解除し、表示制御部１０６は選択状態が解除されたファイルの表示を元の表示に戻す（ステップＳ７）。 In the proximity state process, first, when the input detection unit is not detected by the proximity detection unit 103 (step S6: NO), the file operation unit 104 cancels the selection state of all the selected files, and the display control unit 106 Returns the display of the selected file to the original display (step S7).
　近接検知部１０３により入力指示部の近接状態が検知されている場合は（ステップＳ６：ＹＥＳ）、ファイル操作部１０４は現在のファイルの選択状態を維持する（ステップＳ８）。 When the proximity state of the input instruction unit is detected by the proximity detection unit 103 (step S6: YES), the file operation unit 104 maintains the current file selection state (step S8).
　近接検知部１０３が近接状態を検知してファイルの選択状態を維持している状態で、接触検知部１０２がファイル表示領域に一定時間の接触を検知した場合（ステップＳ９：ＹＥＳ）であって、その接触された領域が既に選択状態のファイル領域だった場合（ステップＳ１０：ＹＥＳ）、ファイル操作部１０４はその接触された領域のファイルの選択状態を解除し、表示制御部１０６は選択状態が解除されたファイルの表示を元の表示に戻す（ステップＳ１２）。 In the state where the proximity detection unit 103 detects the proximity state and maintains the file selection state, the contact detection unit 102 detects contact for a certain period of time in the file display area (step S9: YES), If the contacted area is already a selected file area (step S10: YES), the file operation unit 104 releases the selected state of the file in the contacted area, and the display control unit 106 releases the selected state. The displayed file is returned to the original display (step S12).
　近接検知部１０３が近接状態を検知してファイルの選択状態を維持している状態で、接触検知部１０２がファイル表示領域に一定時間の接触を検知した場合（ステップＳ９：ＹＥＳ）であって、その接触された領域が既に選択状態のファイル領域でない場合（ステップＳ１０：ＮＯ）、ファイル操作部１０４はその接触された領域のファイルを選択状態に変更し、表示制御部１０６は選択状態に変更されたファイルの表示色を変更する（ステップＳ１１）。 In the state where the proximity detection unit 103 detects the proximity state and maintains the file selection state, the contact detection unit 102 detects contact for a certain period of time in the file display area (step S9: YES), If the touched area is not already a selected file area (step S10: NO), the file operation unit 104 changes the file in the touched area to the selected state, and the display control unit 106 is changed to the selected state. The display color of the selected file is changed (step S11).
　選択状態に変更後（ステップＳ１１）、または選択状態解除（ステップＳ１２）後に選択状態のファイルが残っている場合（ステップＳ１３：ＹＥＳ）であって、接触検知部１０２において接触を検知しなくなった場合は（ステップＳ１４：ＹＥＳ）、近接検知部１０３が入力指示部の検知を行う（ステップＳ６）。 When the selected state file remains after changing to the selected state (step S11) or after the selected state is released (step S12) (step S13: YES), and no contact is detected by the contact detection unit 102 (Step S14: YES), the proximity detector 103 detects the input instruction unit (Step S6).
　選択状態に変更後（ステップＳ１１）、または選択状態解除（ステップＳ１２）後に選択状態のファイルが残っている場合（ステップＳ１３：ＹＥＳ）であって、接触検知部１０２において接触を検知している場合は（ステップＳ１４：ＮＯ）、ファイル操作部１０４は選択状態のファイルに対してドラッグ等のファイル操作を行う（ステップＳ１５）。 When the selection state remains (Step S11) or after the selection state is released (Step S12), the selection state file remains (Step S13: YES), and the contact detection unit 102 detects contact. (Step S14: NO), the file operation unit 104 performs a file operation such as dragging on the selected file (step S15).
　図３は近接状態を検知できる領域を図示した模式図である。図３の破線の枠内が近接状態を検知できるとすると、ファイルの選択後にユーザーの指先がこの枠内に収まっていれば、選択状態は解除されないことになる。 FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram illustrating an area where the proximity state can be detected. Assuming that the proximity state can be detected in the broken line frame in FIG. 3, if the user's fingertip is within this frame after the file is selected, the selection state is not released.
　本発明の実施の形態１における情報処理装置によれば、ユーザーが指をタッチパネルに近づけている状態を維持しているならば、複数のファイルを複数のタッチで選択することが可能となり、それら複数のファイルを同時に操作することができる。 According to the information processing apparatus in Embodiment 1 of the present invention, if a user maintains a state where his / her finger is close to the touch panel, a plurality of files can be selected by a plurality of touches. Can be operated on simultaneously.
　なお、ステップＳ９において、ファイル表示領域に一定時間の接触検知でファイル操作の判定を行っているが、一定時間でなくてもよい。これによりステップ２つ目以降のファイルの選択操作にかかる時間を少なくすることができる。 In step S9, the file operation is determined by detecting contact in the file display area for a certain period of time. As a result, the time required for the file selection operation after the second step can be reduced.
　選択状態のファイルに対してドラッグ等のファイル操作については、ファイルの選択操作直後、または指定ファイル解除後で接触検知が継続している場合についてのみ記載した。ただし、選択されているファイルが１つ以上ある状態で、かつ近接状態を検知している状態では、ファイルの表示領域をタッチしてドラッグすることによってファイル操作しても良い。 フ ァ イ ル Regarding file operations such as dragging on a selected file, only the case where contact detection continues immediately after the file selection operation or after the specified file is released is described. However, when there is one or more selected files and the proximity state is detected, the file operation may be performed by touching and dragging the display area of the file.
　また画面のスクロールについては、選択されているファイルが１つ以上ある状態でかつ近接状態を検知している状態では、ファイルの表示領域外をタッチしてドラッグすることによってスクロールするとし、その際にファイルの選択状態は解除されないとする。 As for screen scrolling, when there is one or more selected files and the proximity state is detected, the screen is scrolled by touching and dragging outside the file display area. Assume that the file selection state is not released.
　（実施の形態２）
　本発明の実施の形態２について説明する。実施の形態２において特に言及しない点については、実施の形態１と同様である。図４は、本発明の実施の形態２における情報処理装置１００の動作を説明するフローチャートである。 (Embodiment 2)
A second embodiment of the present invention will be described. The points not particularly mentioned in the second embodiment are the same as those in the first embodiment. FIG. 4 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the information processing apparatus 100 according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention.
　まず、接触検知部１０２がユーザーの入力指示部がタッチパネル１０１のファイル表示領域に一定時間接触していることを検知する（ステップＳ１）。 First, the contact detection unit 102 detects that the user's input instruction unit is in contact with the file display area of the touch panel 101 for a predetermined time (step S1).
　ファイル操作部１０４が接触位置に表示されているファイルを選択状態に変更し、表示制御部１０６は選択状態に変更されたファイルの表示色を変更する（ステップＳ２）。 The file operation unit 104 changes the file displayed at the contact position to the selected state, and the display control unit 106 changes the display color of the file changed to the selected state (step S2).
　接触検知部１０２がユーザーの入力指示部がタッチパネル１０１との接触を検知し続けている場合は（ステップＳ３：ＮＯ）、選択状態のファイルに対してドラッグ等のファイル操作を行う（ステップＳ４）。 If the contact detection unit 102 continues to detect contact with the touch panel 101 by the user input instruction unit (step S3: NO), the file operation such as dragging is performed on the selected file (step S4).
　接触検知部１０２がユーザーの入力指示部がタッチパネル１０１との接触を検知しなくなった場合は（ステップＳ３：ＹＥＳ）、近接状態処理を実施する（ステップＳ５）。 When the contact detection unit 102 no longer detects contact with the touch panel 101 by the user input instruction unit (step S3: YES), proximity state processing is performed (step S5).
　近接状態処理では、まず近接検知部１０３により入力指示部の近接状態が検知されていない場合は（ステップＳ６：ＮＯ）、ファイル操作部１０４は選択されている全ファイルの選択状態を解除し、表示制御部１０６は選択状態が解除されたファイルの表示を元の表示に戻す（ステップＳ７）。 In the proximity state process, first, when the proximity state of the input instruction unit is not detected by the proximity detection unit 103 (step S6: NO), the file operation unit 104 cancels the selection state of all the selected files and displays them. The control unit 106 returns the display of the file whose selection state has been released to the original display (step S7).
　ステップＳ７での選択状態の解除後の所定の時間内に近接検知部で再度入力指示部の近接状態が検知された場合は（ステップＳ１７：ＹＥＳ）、ファイル選択状態が解除される前の選択状態に復帰し、近接状態処理開始に戻る（ステップＳ１８）。 When the proximity state of the input instruction unit is detected again by the proximity detection unit within a predetermined time after the selection state is canceled in step S7 (step S17: YES), the selection state before the file selection state is canceled To return to the start of proximity state processing (step S18).
　近接検知部１０３により入力指示部が検知されている場合は（ステップＳ６：ＹＥＳ）、ファイル操作部１０４は現在のファイルの選択状態を維持する（ステップＳ８）。 If the input instruction unit is detected by the proximity detection unit 103 (step S6: YES), the file operation unit 104 maintains the current file selection state (step S8).
　表示制御部１０６は、ステップＳ６での近接検知部１０３での入力指示部とタッチパネル１０１の距離の測定結果から、ファイルの選択状態の表示色を変更する。入力指示部とタッチパネルの距離が近ければ色を濃く、遠ければ色を薄くする（ステップＳ１６）。 The display control unit 106 changes the display color of the file selection state from the measurement result of the distance between the input instruction unit and the touch panel 101 in the proximity detection unit 103 in step S6. If the distance between the input instruction unit and the touch panel is short, the color is dark, and if it is far, the color is light (step S16).
　近接検知部１０３が近接状態を検知してファイルの選択状態を維持している状態で、接触検知部１０２がファイル表示領域に一定時間の接触を検知した場合（ステップＳ９：ＹＥＳ）であって、その接触された領域が既に選択状態のファイル領域だった場合（ステップＳ１０：ＹＥＳ）、ファイル操作部１０４はその接触された領域のファイルの選択状態を解除し、表示制御部１０６は選択状態が解除されたファイルの表示を元の表示に戻す（ステップＳ１２）。 In the state where the proximity detection unit 103 detects the proximity state and maintains the file selection state, the contact detection unit 102 detects contact for a certain period of time in the file display area (step S9: YES), If the contacted area is already a selected file area (step S10: YES), the file operation unit 104 releases the selected state of the file in the contacted area, and the display control unit 106 releases the selected state. The displayed file is returned to the original display (step S12).
　近接検知部１０３が近接状態を検知してファイルの選択状態を維持している状態で、接触検知部１０２がファイル表示領域に一定時間の接触を検知した場合（ステップＳ９：ＹＥＳ）であって、その接触された領域が既に選択状態のファイル領域でない場合（ステップＳ１０：ＮＯ）、ファイル操作部１０４はその接触された領域のファイルを選択状態に変更し、表示制御部１０６は選択状態に変更されたファイルの表示色を変更する（ステップＳ１１）。 In the state where the proximity detection unit 103 detects the proximity state and maintains the file selection state, the contact detection unit 102 detects contact for a certain period of time in the file display area (step S9: YES), If the touched area is not already a selected file area (step S10: NO), the file operation unit 104 changes the file in the touched area to the selected state, and the display control unit 106 is changed to the selected state. The display color of the selected file is changed (step S11).
　選択状態に変更後（ステップ１１）、または選択状態解除（ステップＳ１２）後に選択状態のファイルが残っている場合（ステップＳ１３：ＹＥＳ）であって、接触検知部１０２において接触を検知しなくなった場合は（ステップＳ１４：ＹＥＳ）、近接検知部１０３が入力指示部の検知を行う（ステップＳ６）。 When the selected state file remains after changing to the selected state (step 11) or after the selected state is released (step S12) (step S13: YES), and no contact is detected by the contact detection unit 102 (Step S14: YES), the proximity detector 103 detects the input instruction unit (Step S6).

　（実施の形態３）
　本発明の実施の形態３について説明する。実施の形態３において特に言及しない点については、実施の形態１と同様である。図６は本発明の実施の形態３における情報処理装置の構成を示すブロック図である。なお、図６においては、発明にかかる構成のみを図示しており、適応される装置等におけるその他の要素についての図示は省略する。 (Embodiment 3)
Embodiment 3 of the present invention will be described. The points not particularly mentioned in the third embodiment are the same as those in the first embodiment. FIG. 6 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the information processing apparatus according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention. In FIG. 6, only the configuration according to the invention is illustrated, and illustration of other elements in the device to which the invention is applied is omitted.
　情報処理装置２００は、タッチパネル１０１、接触検知部１０２、近接検知部１０３、ファイル操作部１０４、記憶部１０５、表示制御部１０６、表示部１０７、および振動部２０８を備える。情報処理装置２００は、複数のファイル等のオブジェクトをタッチパネル１０１の表示部１０７に表示する。 The information processing apparatus 200 includes a touch panel 101, a contact detection unit 102, a proximity detection unit 103, a file operation unit 104, a storage unit 105, a display control unit 106, a display unit 107, and a vibration unit 208. The information processing apparatus 200 displays objects such as a plurality of files on the display unit 107 of the touch panel 101.
　振動部２０８はファイル操作部１０４において、ファイルの選択状態が近接状態非検知により解除された場合に、所定の時間振動する。 The vibration unit 208 vibrates for a predetermined time in the file operation unit 104 when the file selection state is canceled due to the proximity state non-detection.
　図７は、本発明の実施の形態２における情報処理装置１００の動作を説明するフローチャートである。 FIG. 7 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the information processing apparatus 100 according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention.
　まず、接触検知部１０２がユーザーの入力指示部がタッチパネル１０１のファイル表示領域に一定時間接触していることを検知する（ステップＳ１）。 First, the contact detection unit 102 detects that the user's input instruction unit is in contact with the file display area of the touch panel 101 for a predetermined time (step S1).
　ファイル操作部１０４が接触位置に表示されているファイルを選択状態に変更し、表示制御部１０６は選択状態に変更されたファイルの表示色を変更する（ステップＳ２）。 The file operation unit 104 changes the file displayed at the contact position to the selected state, and the display control unit 106 changes the display color of the file changed to the selected state (step S2).
　接触検知部１０２がユーザーの入力指示部がタッチパネル１０１との接触を検知し続けている場合は（ステップＳ３：ＮＯ）、選択状態のファイルに対してドラッグ等のファイル操作を行う（ステップＳ４）。 If the contact detection unit 102 continues to detect contact with the touch panel 101 by the user input instruction unit (step S3: NO), the file operation such as dragging is performed on the selected file (step S4).
　接触検知部１０２がユーザーの入力指示部がタッチパネル１０１との接触を検知しなくなった場合は（ステップＳ３：ＹＥＳ）、近接状態処理を実施する（ステップＳ５）。 When the contact detection unit 102 no longer detects contact with the touch panel 101 by the user input instruction unit (step S3: YES), proximity state processing is performed (step S5).
　近接状態処理では、まず近接検知部１０３により入力指示部の近接状態が検知されていない場合は（ステップＳ６：ＮＯ）、ファイル操作部１０４は選択されている全ファイルの選択状態を解除し、表示制御部１０６は選択状態が解除されたファイルの表示を元の表示に戻す（ステップＳ７）。 In the proximity state process, first, when the proximity state of the input instruction unit is not detected by the proximity detection unit 103 (step S6: NO), the file operation unit 104 cancels the selection state of all the selected files and displays them. The control unit 106 returns the display of the file whose selection state has been released to the original display (step S7).
　ステップＳ７での選択状態の解除後の所定の時間内は振動部２０８において情報処理装置２００を振動させる（ステップＳ１９）。 The information processing apparatus 200 is vibrated in the vibration unit 208 within a predetermined time after the selection state is canceled in step S7 (step S19).
　またステップＳ７での選択状態の解除後の所定の時間内に近接検知部で再度入力指示部の近接状態が検知された場合は（ステップＳ１７：ＹＥＳ）、ファイル選択状態が解除される前の選択状態に復帰し、近接状態処理開始に戻る（ステップＳ１８）。 If the proximity detection unit detects the proximity state of the input instruction unit again within a predetermined time after the selection state is canceled in step S7 (step S17: YES), the selection before the file selection state is canceled. It returns to the state and returns to the proximity state processing start (step S18).
　近接検知部１０３により入力指示部が検知されている場合は（ステップＳ６：ＹＥＳ）、ファイル操作部１０４は現在のファイルの選択状態を維持する（ステップＳ８）。 If the input instruction unit is detected by the proximity detection unit 103 (step S6: YES), the file operation unit 104 maintains the current file selection state (step S8).
　近接検知部１０３が近接状態を検知してファイルの選択状態を維持している状態で、接触検知部１０２がファイル表示領域に一定時間の接触を検知した場合（ステップＳ９：ＹＥＳ）であって、その接触された領域が既に選択状態のファイル領域だった場合（ステップＳ１０：ＹＥＳ）、ファイル操作部１０４はその接触された領域のファイルの選択状態を解除し、表示制御部１０６は選択状態が解除されたファイルの表示を元の表示に戻す。（ステップＳ１２）。 In the state where the proximity detection unit 103 detects the proximity state and maintains the file selection state, the contact detection unit 102 detects contact for a certain period of time in the file display area (step S9: YES), If the contacted area is already a selected file area (step S10: YES), the file operation unit 104 releases the selected state of the file in the contacted area, and the display control unit 106 releases the selected state. Return the displayed file to the original display. (Step S12).
　近接検知部１０３が近接状態を検知してファイルの選択状態を維持している状態で、接触検知部１０２がファイル表示領域に一定時間の接触を検知した場合（ステップＳ９：ＹＥＳ）であって、その接触された領域が既に選択状態のファイル領域でない場合（ステップＳ１０：ＮＯ）、ファイル操作部１０４はその接触された領域のファイルを選択状態に変更し、表示制御部１０６は選択状態に変更されたファイルの表示色を変更する（ステップＳ１１）。 In the state where the proximity detection unit 103 detects the proximity state and maintains the file selection state, the contact detection unit 102 detects contact for a certain period of time in the file display area (step S9: YES), If the touched area is not already a selected file area (step S10: NO), the file operation unit 104 changes the file in the touched area to the selected state, and the display control unit 106 is changed to the selected state. The display color of the selected file is changed (step S11).
　選択状態に変更後（ステップ１１）、または選択状態解除（ステップＳ１２）後に選択状態のファイルが残っている場合（ステップＳ１３：ＹＥＳ）であって、接触検知部１０２において接触を検知しなくなった場合は（ステップＳ１４：ＹＥＳ）、近接検知部１０３が入力指示部の検知を行う（ステップＳ６）。 When the selected state file remains after changing to the selected state (step 11) or after the selected state is released (step S12) (step S13: YES), and no contact is detected by the contact detection unit 102 (Step S14: YES), the proximity detector 103 detects the input instruction unit (Step S6).
　選択状態に変更後（ステップ１１）、または選択状態解除（ステップＳ１２）後に選択状態のファイルが残っている場合（ステップＳ１３：ＹＥＳ）であって、接触検知部１０２において接触を検知している場合は（ステップＳ１４：ＮＯ）、ファイル操作部１０４は選択状態のファイルに対してドラッグ等のファイル操作を行う（ステップＳ１５）。 When the selected state file remains after the selection state is changed (step 11) or after the selection state is released (step S12) (step S13: YES), and contact is detected by the contact detection unit 102 (Step S14: NO), the file operation unit 104 performs a file operation such as dragging on the selected file (step S15).
　本発明の実施の形態３における情報処理装置によれば、ユーザーの指がタッチパネルから離れていることを振動で確認でき、誤ってファイルの選択状態を解除することを減らすことができる。 According to the information processing apparatus in Embodiment 3 of the present invention, it can be confirmed by vibration that the user's finger is away from the touch panel, and it is possible to reduce the erroneous release of the file selection state.
　ここで、振動部２０８でユーザーの指がタッチパネルから離れていることを振動でユーザーに伝えるようにしているが、振動部２０８のかわりに音を鳴らす音響部にしても良い。それによりユーザーはユーザーの指がタッチパネルから離れていることを音で確認でき、誤ってファイルの選択状態を解除することを減らすことができる。 Here, the vibration unit 208 informs the user by vibration that the user's finger is away from the touch panel. However, instead of the vibration unit 208, an acoustic unit that emits a sound may be used. Thereby, the user can confirm by sound that the user's finger is away from the touch panel, and can reduce the erroneous release of the file selection state.
　また、振動部２０８でユーザーの指がタッチパネルから離れていることを振動でユーザーに伝えるようにしているが、表示部１０７で特定のアイコン等を表示させても良い。それによりユーザーはユーザーの指がタッチパネルから離れていることを画面で確認でき、誤ってファイルの選択状態を解除することを減らすことができる。 Further, although the vibration unit 208 notifies the user by vibration that the user's finger is away from the touch panel, a specific icon or the like may be displayed on the display unit 107. As a result, the user can confirm on the screen that the user's finger is away from the touch panel, and reduce the accidental release of the file selection state.
　また、振動部２０８でユーザーの指がタッチパネルから離れていることを振動でユーザーに伝えるようにしているが、振動部２０８のかわりに点灯または消灯する点灯部にしても良い。それによりユーザーはユーザーの指がタッチパネルから離れていることを点灯または消灯で確認でき、誤ってファイルの選択状態を解除することを減らすことができる。 In addition, although the vibration unit 208 notifies the user that the user's finger is away from the touch panel by vibration, a lighting unit that is turned on or off may be used instead of the vibration unit 208. As a result, the user can confirm that the user's finger is away from the touch panel by turning on or off, and reduce the erroneous selection of the file.
