Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the device belongs]

 The present invention relates to a control device such as a personal computer for controlling an operating frequency of a wireless communication device through an external control terminal of the wireless communication device.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, when changing the operating frequency of a wireless communication device with a personal computer through the external control terminal of the wireless communication device, the direction of the circular figure drawn by the input device such as the mouse or trackball provided in the personal computer And a device configured to change the operating frequency according to the operation amount, or a graphic imitating the operation surface of the wireless communication device is displayed on the display screen of the personal computer, and the vicinity of the frequency change dial on the display screen is displayed. In some cases, the operating frequency was changed by displaying arrows (△, ▽) on the screen and designating the arrows with a cursor.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in the case of a configuration in which the operating frequency is changed according to the direction of the circular figure drawn by an input device such as a mouse or a trackball and the amount of operation of the circular figure, the actual amount of operation of the operator can be recognized only by the change of the operating frequency. There is a problem that it is not possible and the operability is very poor. In particular, when a mouse or the like is operated faster than a change in frequency, the desired frequency is likely to be exceeded, and it is very difficult to set the desired frequency.

Further, in the case of a configuration in which the operating frequency is changed by designating arrows (△, ▽) on the display screen, it is relatively easy to set the desired frequency, but turning the dial The unique feeling of a wireless communication device such as setting the frequency was lost. Further, when it is desired to switch the frequency change step between large and small, it is necessary to separately switch the frequency step.

In view of the above problems, the present invention provides a feeling very close to that of turning a dial when changing the operating frequency of a wireless communication device using a mouse or the like, and The purpose is to provide a control device for a wireless communication device in which steps can be easily specified.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In the controller of the wireless communication device of the present invention, a control device having a display screen and a cursor moving means for moving the cursor displayed on the display screen in an arbitrary direction at an arbitrary speed is provided via the interface means. In a controller of a wireless communication device connected to a wireless communication device and configured to control the operating frequency of the wireless communication device by the controller, a dial-shaped circular graphic is displayed on the display screen of the controller. Figure display means, position information output means that outputs the position information of the cursor at that time when the switch is operated, and the moving direction of the cursor by the cursor moving means after the switch is operated in a circular shape. The operating frequency of the wireless communication device depends on the control means that controls in the direction along the concentric circle and the amount of movement of the cursor in the circumferential direction when the cursor is restricted by the control means. It was assumed and a frequency changing means for changing the.

Further, the graphic display means includes rotating means for displaying the dial-shaped circular graphic so as to rotate and move according to the amount of movement of the cursor in the circumferential direction in the state regulated by the regulating means. It may be one. Further, the graphic display means may include expansion / contraction means for expanding / contracting the dial-shaped circular graphic according to the position information of the cursor when the switch is operated.

Further, the graphic display means includes a rotating means for displaying the dial-shaped circular graphic so as to be rotationally moved according to the amount of movement of the cursor in the circumferential direction in the state regulated by the regulating means, and a switch. It may include a scaling means for scaling a dial-shaped circular figure according to position information of the cursor when operated.

[0009]

[Embodiment of device]

 Embodiments of the present invention will be described below. That is, a controller provided with a display screen and a cursor moving means for moving a cursor displayed on the display screen in an arbitrary direction at an arbitrary speed is connected to a wireless communication device via an interface means, and the wireless communication is performed. In a controller of a wireless communication device configured to control the operating frequency of the machine by the controller, first, a graphic display means displays a dial-shaped circular graphic on the display screen of the controller.

In this state, the cursor can be moved in any direction by the cursor moving means. Next, when the switch is operated, the position information output means outputs the position information of the cursor at that time, and thereafter, the restricting means causes the cursor moving means to move the cursor in a concentric circle with the circular figure. It is regulated along the direction.

When the cursor is moved in the circumferential direction in the state where the moving direction is restricted in this way, the operating frequency of the wireless communication device is changed by the frequency changing means according to the moving amount (rotational moving amount) of the cursor. It is. The movement amount includes both the rotation angle and the rotation movement distance. In this way, by moving the cursor in the circumferential direction on the display screen, the operating frequency of the wireless communication device can be changed with the same feeling as when the dial is turned.

It should be noted that the dial-shaped circular figure is displayed so as to be rotationally moved in accordance with the amount of movement of the cursor in the circumferential direction in the state regulated by the regulation means, and the position information of the cursor when the switch is operated. Depending on the situation, the dial-shaped circular figure may be configured to be expanded or contracted.

[0013]

Embodiment Hereinafter, an embodiment of a control device for a wireless communication device according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings showing the embodiment.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a personal computer having a display screen 2, which is connected with a mouse 4 for moving a cursor 3 displayed on the display screen 2 in an arbitrary direction at an arbitrary speed and displays the cursor. Cursor display means 17, graphic display means 12 displaying a dial-shaped circular figure 13, position information output means 14 for outputting position information of the cursor, and restriction means 15 for restricting the moving direction of the cursor only in the circumferential direction. , A frequency changing means 16 for changing the frequency based on the movement of the mouse, a display rotating means 18 for rotating the circular graphic 13, a scaling means 19 for enlarging or reducing the circular graphic 13, and a display screen 2 It is provided with a screen control circuit 20 for controlling the display contents in a centralized manner, and an input / output terminal 11 with the outside.

Reference numeral 5 denotes a wireless communication device, which includes an external control terminal 51 for controlling the computer. Reference numeral 6 is a connection cable for connecting the input / output terminal 11 on the personal computer 1 side and the external control terminal 51 on the wireless communication device 5 side. The wireless communication device 5 has a function of changing its operating frequency based on a control signal input through the external control terminal 51.

The personal computer 1 corresponds to the control device, and the mouse 4 corresponds to the cursor moving means. The input / output terminal 11 of the personal computer 1, the connection cable 6 and the external control terminal 51 of the wireless communication device 5 correspond to interface means.

In the above configuration, in the normal state, the dial-shaped circular graphic 13 is displayed on the display screen 2 of the personal computer 1 by the graphic display means 12. In that state, the cursor 3 on the display screen 2 can be moved in any direction at any speed by operating the mouse 4. Next, when the left button 41 of the mouse 4 is pressed, the positional information output means 14 outputs the positional information of the cursor 3 at that time (distance R from the center of the circular graphic 13) and the enlargement / reduction means 19 is circular. The circular graphic 13 is enlarged or reduced so that the radius of the graphic 13 becomes the distance R, and thereafter, until the finger is released from the left button 41, the moving direction of the cursor 3 is restricted to the circumference of the circular graphic 13 by the regulating means 15. It is regulated along the direction. Therefore, if the mouse 4 is moved in a substantially arc shape while the left button 41 of the mouse 4 is pressed, only the momentum in the arc shape becomes effective and the cursor 3 on the screen is moved exactly along the circumference of the circular figure 13. Let them do it.

At this time, the display rotation means 18 displays the circular figure 13 so as to rotate with the circular movement of the cursor 3.

When the left button 41 is pressed with the finger and the mouse 4 is moved in a substantially circular arc shape to move the cursor 3 in the circumferential direction in the state in which the movement direction is restricted as described above, the movement amount is changed according to the movement amount. The frequency changing means 16 changes the numerical value in the frequency display section 21 of the display screen 2 and outputs a control signal via the input / output terminal 11. The radio communication device 5 changes the operating frequency based on this control signal.

That is, a value that is inversely proportional to the distance R from the center of the circular figure 13 is set as the frequency changing step, and when the moving direction is clockwise, the operating frequency is increased by the operating frequency changing step to move. When the direction is counterclockwise, the operating frequency is reduced in steps of changing the operating frequency. The operating frequency display data will be changed at the same time. Then, when the finger is released from the left button 41, the operating frequency at that time continues to be set and the regulation of the movement direction of the cursor 3 by the regulation means 15 is released.

In this way, the operating frequency changing step is set to be smaller as the radius R of the circular graphic 13 is larger. Therefore, if you want to change the frequency finely, press the left button 41 of the mouse 4 at a position far from the center of the circular figure 13 to draw a large circular figure, and change the frequency finely by the subtle movement of the mouse 4. You can If you want to change the frequency drastically, press the left button 41 of the mouse 4 at a position near the center of the circular figure 13 to draw a small circular figure, and move the mouse 4 slightly to change the frequency greatly. be able to.

In this way, by moving the cursor in the circumferential direction on the display screen, the operating frequency of the wireless communication device can be changed with the same feeling as when the dial is turned.

[0023]

[Effect of device]

 According to the invention of claim 1, since the step of changing the frequency is automatically determined according to the position of the cursor at that time when the switch is operated, the operability is improved. In addition, since the moving direction of the cursor by the cursor moving means is restricted to the direction along the circumference of the circular figure after the switch is operated, it is not necessary to operate the moving direction of the cursor accurately, so that operability is improved. The effect of improvement is obtained.

According to the second aspect, since the dial-shaped circular figure is displayed so as to be rotationally moved according to the amount of movement of the cursor in the circumferential direction in the state where the dial is regulated by the regulation means, it is as if the dial is actually The feeling of turning is obtained and a comfortable operation feeling is obtained. Further, according to the third aspect, since the dial-shaped circular figure is expanded / contracted according to the position information of the cursor when the switch is operated, it is possible to easily visually grasp the magnitude of the current frequency change step. It is possible to obtain the effect that the operability is improved.

According to the fourth aspect, all the above effects can be obtained.
