Patent number: 8477096Abstract: A screen display apparatus includes an operation information reception unit that receives operation information regarding an inclination direction and an inclination angle of a joystick from the joystick, and a screen controller that performs a scroll process for scrolling a screen and a zoom process for zooming based on the operation information. The screen controller scrolls the screen according to the inclination direction and the inclination angle of the joystick, and continues a zoom-out process for zooming-out of the screen based on a detection of the inclination angle that is greater than a predetermined angle for a predetermined period until detecting the inclination angle of the joystick to be equal to or smaller than the predetermined angle or until zooming out to a predetermined minimum zoom rate.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 2011Date of Patent: July 2, 2013Assignee: Denso CorporationInventors: Kei Nagiyama, Hidehiko Kawakami, Motohiro Fukumoto, Keisuke Uto

Patent number: 7817168Abstract: In a display screen of an image display device, plural menu items in a higher rank menu hierarchy are displayed in a first circular arrangement, and plural menu items in a lower rank menu hierarchy that is subsidiary to the higher rank menu hierarchy is displayed in a second circular arrangement that concentrically surrounds the first circular arrangement with a greater diameter than the first circular arrangement. In addition, a pointed-out portion in the display screen is identified according to a user operation to an operation device, and a function of a menu item in the lower rank menu hierarchy being in association with the identified pointed-out portion is realized by a processing for the function. Each of the menu items in the lower rank menu hierarchy is arranged in a position in a manner that expresses the subordination of the lower rank menu item to one of the menu items in the higher rank menu hierarchy.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 2007Date of Patent: October 19, 2010Assignee: DENSO CORPORATIONInventors: Kei Nagiyama, Nobutaka Tauchi, Keisuke Uto

Publication number: 20080228388Abstract: A transit time period from a departure point is inputted. A first road map is once displayed to have a broad covering range to include the departure point and an estimated reachable point, which the vehicle reaches after the transit time period elapses. Then, a second road map having a covering range narrower than that of the first road map is displayed to include only the estimated reachable point without including the departure point. This allows the user to easily recognize the positional relationship between the estimated reachable point and the departure point, and an approximate position of the estimated reachable point against the guide route.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 5, 2008Publication date: September 18, 2008Applicant: DENSO CORPORATIONInventors: Nobutaka Tauchi, Keisuke Uto
