  • Patent number: 11182062
    Abstract: A touch panel device includes a touch panel that changes a state of a region on an operation surface in which a touch operation is performed, a pressure sensor unit to output a pressure detection signal corresponding to a pressing force (Fp) applied to the operation surface, and a controller to calculate coordinates of the touch operation on the operation surface based on the state of the touch panel. In a case that a second touch operation is performed, when a value of the pressing force is greater than a predetermined threshold pressing force (ThF), the controller judges that second operation information corresponding to the second touch operation is valid. In a case that a second touch operation is performed, when the value of the pressing force is less than or equal to the threshold pressing force, the controller judges that the second operation information is invalid.

    Abstract: A touch panel device includes a touch panel that changes a state of a region on an operation surface, a pressure sensor unit to output a pressure detection signal corresponding to a pressing force, and a controller. In a case that a first touch operation is performed, the controller judges that first operation information corresponding to the first touch operation is valid. In a case that a second touch operation is performed, when a press value of the pressing force indicated by the pressure detection signal is greater than a predetermined threshold pressing force, the controller judges that second operation information corresponding to the second touch operation is valid. In a case that a second touch operation is performed, when the press value is less than or equal to the threshold pressing force, the controller judges that the second operation information is invalid.

  • Patent number: 10976835
    Abstract: An operation input device includes a knob for operations, disposed in a display region of a touch display; a plurality of conductor columns provided in the knob; a touch point detecting unit that detects a touch point corresponding to at least one of the plurality of conductor columns; a location determining unit that determines a location of at least one of the plurality of conductor columns, using a result of the detection by the touch point detecting unit; and a location estimating unit that estimates, when there is a conductor column that has not been detected as a touch point by the touch point detecting unit, a location of the conductor column that has not been detected as a touch point by the touch point detecting unit, using positional relationship information indicating a positional relationship between the plurality of conductor columns in the knob and location history information indicating a history of locations of the respective plurality of conductor columns.

  • Patent number: 10852919
    Abstract: A touch input judgment device includes: a rotation direction judgment unit that determines a selection value change amount, to be added to a current selection value, when a rotation operation in a normal direction is inputted through a touch panel and stores rotation direction information in a storage unit when a rotation operation in the normal direction as a first rotation operation is performed; and a selection value change unit that sets a new current selection value after a change to a value obtained by adding a first selection value change amount to the current selection value when a rotation operation subsequent to the first rotation operation is a rotation operation in the normal direction and maintains the current selection value without change when the subsequent rotation operation is judged to be the return operation of the finger position.

  • Patent number: 9959642
    Abstract: A vector data selection unit selects, from a vector file of a past line graph, each vector data of a time period where a new line graph overlaps. An attribute value setting unit sets, of the vector data selected, a high transparency degree value to oldest vector data, sets a low transparency degree value to newest vector data, and sets an intermediate transparency degree value to intermediate vector data. A graph display unit displays a portion of a time period of the past line graph where the new line graph overlaps, with a gradation.

  • Publication number: 20160147378
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide an image display apparatus that suppresses the load on the CPU and the internal storage and suppresses an increase in stress to the user. The image display apparatus of the present invention includes a display, an internal storage, an interface connectable to an external storage, a receiver, and a controller. The external storage stores at least one piece of image data and at least one piece of thumbnail image data obtained by reducing the image data. The controller switches between a thumbnail display mode in which thumbnail image data transferred from the external storage to the internal storage is displayed on the display and a full screen display mode in which original image data of thumbnail image data is transferred from the external storage to the internal storage and displayed on the display, on the basis of inputs to the receiver.
