Patent number: 7312791Abstract: There is provided a display unit including a touch panel disposed on a display screen of a display panel to detect a touch position of a pointing device, operation being conducted by touching a touch operation member displayed on the screen. The display unit includes a sensor for sensing a pushing pressure caused when touching the touch operation member, and a control section for conducting first processing concerning the touch operation member pushed by the pointing device when the pressure sensed by the sensing unit satisfies a first predetermined pressure condition, and conducting second processing concerning the touch operation member, when the pushing pressure has changed from the first condition to a second one. Upon the change from the first condition to the second one, a function of moving the screen in a direction of pushing pressure caused by the pointer is executed by the second processing.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2003Date of Patent: December 25, 2007Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Takeshi Hoshino, Takeshi Minemoto, Yujin Tsukada

Patent number: 7245293Abstract: A display unit with a touch panel to move a touch-driven member such as a functional button to a desired position through a touch operation. By touching a draggable icon displayed on a screen with a finger, the icon is changed in color to indicate that the user can drag the icon. Then, by pushing the icon, the icon is changed in size and color to indicate that the user can drag the icon. As by reducing the pushing force to touch on the icon, and moving the finger, the icon is dragged following the finger. As by pushing the icon with the finger at a predetermined position, the icon is set at this position and changed in size and color. When releasing the finger from the icon, the icon is settled at this position.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2005Date of Patent: July 17, 2007Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Takeshi Hoshino, Takeshi Minemoto, Yujin Tsukada

Publication number: 20050183023Abstract: An individual information screen is displayed for each of operators on the same table surface and it is possible to surely acquire shared information required for conversation between the operators. The data on each of individual information screens cannot be viewed by the other operators. A shared information screen and a plurality of individual information screens are displayed in a display surface arranged on a table surface. The individual information screens are used by each operator and display individual information on each of the operators. Among the individual information displayed on each individual information screen, those which can be viewed by the other operators may be displayed as shared information on the shared screen by a predetermined operation on the respective individual information screen. It becomes possible to display the individual information screens at predetermined positions at arbitrary positions on the table surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 5, 2005Publication date: August 18, 2005Inventors: Yukinobu Maruyama, Takeshi Hoshino, Takeshi Minemoto, Yuuichi Kurosawa
