　領域決定部１３０は、文字入力モードで最初に手書き入力を行ったときの検知部１２０の検知結果に基づいて、表示部１１０の表示面の中で情報を入力するための入力領域を決定する。具体的には、文字入力モードで最初に手書き入力を行ったとき、領域決定部１３０は、検知部１２０から通知された検知の移動した位置が含まれる領域を入力領域と決定する。また、領域決定部１３０は、決定した入力領域をパターン認識部１６０へ通知する。 The region determination unit 130 determines an input region for inputting information in the display surface of the display unit 110 based on the detection result of the detection unit 120 when the handwriting input is first performed in the character input mode. Specifically, when the handwriting input is first performed in the character input mode, the region determination unit 130 determines a region including the detected moved position notified from the detection unit 120 as the input region. In addition, the area determination unit 130 notifies the pattern recognition unit 160 of the determined input area.
　制御部１４０は、領域決定部１３０が決定した入力領域において検知部１２０が検知した接触または接近に基づいて、情報を情報処理装置１００に入力する。このとき、制御部１４０は、パターン認識部１６０から出力されてきた文字情報を情報処理装置１００に入力する。また、制御部１４０は、パターン認識部１６０から、コマンド情報が出力されてきた場合、そのコマンド情報に基づいて、コマンド処理（制御）を行う。 The control unit 140 inputs information to the information processing apparatus 100 based on the contact or approach detected by the detection unit 120 in the input region determined by the region determination unit 130. At this time, the control unit 140 inputs the character information output from the pattern recognition unit 160 to the information processing apparatus 100. In addition, when command information is output from the pattern recognition unit 160, the control unit 140 performs command processing (control) based on the command information.
　パターン記憶部１５０は、文字情報と、検知部１２０が検知した接近または接触の表示面上での移動パターンを示すパターン情報とを対応付けを記憶する。また、パターン記憶部１５０は、パターン情報として、検知部１２０が接触または接近を検知してからその接触または接近を検知しなくなるまでの接近または接触の表示面上での移動パターンを記憶する。また、パターン記憶部１５０は、パターン情報と、入力を制御するためのコマンド情報との対応付けを記憶する。 The pattern storage unit 150 stores correspondence between character information and pattern information indicating a movement pattern on the display surface of the approach or contact detected by the detection unit 120. Further, the pattern storage unit 150 stores, as pattern information, a movement pattern on the display surface of the approach or contact from when the detection unit 120 detects the contact or approach until it stops detecting the contact or approach. The pattern storage unit 150 also stores association between pattern information and command information for controlling input.
　図２は、図１に示したパターン記憶部１５０に記憶されている、文字情報およびコマンド情報と、パターン情報との対応付けの一例を示す図である。 FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of correspondence between character information and command information and pattern information stored in the pattern storage unit 150 shown in FIG.
　図１に示したパターン記憶部１５０には図２に示すように、アルファベットや数字、記号、コマンド情報が、移動パターンを示すパターン情報と対応付けられて記憶されている。図２には、移動パターンが一筆書きのパターン（検知部１２０が接触または接近を検知してからその接触または接近を検知しなくなるまでの移動パターン）を例に挙げて示している。パターン記憶部１５０には、そのほかに、一般的な手書き入力で用いられているような、移動パターンのパターン情報と、文字情報等との対応付けが記憶されていても良い。 As shown in FIG. 2, alphabets, numbers, symbols, and command information are stored in the pattern storage unit 150 shown in FIG. 1 in association with pattern information indicating a movement pattern. FIG. 2 shows an example in which the movement pattern is a one-stroke drawing pattern (a movement pattern from when the detection unit 120 detects contact or approach until the contact or approach is not detected). In addition, the pattern storage unit 150 may store associations between pattern information of moving patterns, character information, and the like as used in general handwriting input.
　パターン認識部１６０は、領域決定部１３０から通知された入力領域において検知部１２０が検知した移動パターンに基づいて、パターン記憶部１５０から、その移動パターンに対応する文字情報やコマンド情報を読み出すことで、移動パターンに対応する文字情報やコマンド情報を認識する。このとき、パターン認識部１６０は、移動パターンが一筆書きのパターンだけではなく、一般的な仮名等の文字情報についても認識できるものであっても良い。パターン認識部１６０は、認識した文字情報またはコマンド情報を制御部１４０へ出力する。 The pattern recognition unit 160 reads character information and command information corresponding to the movement pattern from the pattern storage unit 150 based on the movement pattern detected by the detection unit 120 in the input area notified from the area determination unit 130. The character information and command information corresponding to the movement pattern are recognized. At this time, the pattern recognition unit 160 may be able to recognize not only a one-stroke pattern but also general character information such as a kana. The pattern recognition unit 160 outputs the recognized character information or command information to the control unit 140.
　以下に、図１に示した情報処理装置１００における情報処理方法について説明する。 Hereinafter, an information processing method in the information processing apparatus 100 shown in FIG. 1 will be described.
　図３は、図１に示した情報処理装置１００における情報処理方法を説明するためのフローチャートである。 FIG. 3 is a flowchart for explaining an information processing method in the information processing apparatus 100 shown in FIG.
　まず、ステップ１にて、文字入力機能を具備するアプリケーションを起動すると、ステップ２にて、制御部１４０は、検知部１２０における接触または接近の検知待ちの状態（タップイベント待ち状態）となる。この文字入力機能を具備するアプリケーションの利用の一態様としては、ブラウザを使った入力フォームへの記入や、メモ帳アプリケーションの入力欄への記入が例に挙げられる。以下、ブラウザを使った入力フォームへの記入や、メモ帳アプリケーションの入力欄への記入を例に挙げて説明する。 First, when an application having a character input function is started in step 1, the control unit 140 enters a state of waiting for detection of contact or approach in the detection unit 120 (waiting for a tap event) in step 2. As an aspect of the use of an application having this character input function, an entry in an input form using a browser and an entry in an input field of a memo pad application are given as examples. In the following, description will be given by taking as an example filling in an input form using a browser and filling in an input field of a notepad application.
　その後、検知部１２０が接触または接近を検知すると、ステップ３にて、制御部１４０は、現在の動作モードが文字入力モードであるかどうかを判別する。 Thereafter, when the detection unit 120 detects contact or approach, in step 3, the control unit 140 determines whether or not the current operation mode is the character input mode.
　文字入力モードではない場合、ステップ４にて、制御部１４０は、動作モードを文字入力モードへ変更する。 If it is not the character input mode, in step 4, the control unit 140 changes the operation mode to the character input mode.
　そして、ステップ５にて、制御部１４０は、表示部１１０が表示する画面を更新し、ステップ２の処理を行う。 In step 5, the control unit 140 updates the screen displayed by the display unit 110 and performs the process in step 2.
　図４は、動作モードが文字入力モードでないときの表示部１１０に表示された画面の一例を示す図である。 FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of a screen displayed on the display unit 110 when the operation mode is not the character input mode.
　図４に示すように、表示部１１０には、所定の入力フォームが表示されている。ここで、例えば、次に入力される文字が表示される部分として図４に示した入力フォームの右下部分の領域に表示されているカーソル（図４では、黒色で塗りつぶした四角で示した表示）に対して、利用者が指等を接触または接近させることで、検知部１２０が接触または接近を検知すると、制御部１４０が、動作モードを文字入力モードに変更する。 As shown in FIG. 4, a predetermined input form is displayed on the display unit 110. Here, for example, the cursor displayed in the lower right area of the input form shown in FIG. 4 as the part where the next input character is displayed (in FIG. 4, a display indicated by a square filled in black) ), The control unit 140 changes the operation mode to the character input mode when the detection unit 120 detects contact or approach by causing the user to touch or approach a finger or the like.
　図５は、動作モードが文字入力モードでないときの表示部１１０に表示された画面の他の例を示す図である。 FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating another example of a screen displayed on the display unit 110 when the operation mode is not the character input mode.
　図５に示すように、メモ帳等のアプリケーションが起動している場合、表示部１１０には、所定のメモ帳の画面が表示されている。ここで、例えば、図５に示したメモ帳の文字を入力したい部分（「ああああ」が入力されている次の位置）に対して、利用者が指等を接触または接近させることで、検知部１２０が接触または接近を検知すると、制御部１４０が、動作モードを文字入力モードに変更する。 As shown in FIG. 5, when an application such as a notepad is activated, a predetermined notepad screen is displayed on the display unit 110. Here, for example, when the user touches or approaches a portion (the next position where “Ah” is input) of the memo pad shown in FIG. When 120 detects contact or approach, control unit 140 changes the operation mode to the character input mode.
　図６は、図１に示した表示部１１０に図５に示した画面が表示されている状態で、ステップ２～５の処理が行われた後の表示部１１０に表示されている画面の一例を示す図である。 FIG. 6 shows an example of a screen displayed on the display unit 110 after the processing of steps 2 to 5 is performed in a state where the screen shown in FIG. 5 is displayed on the display unit 110 shown in FIG. FIG.
　図６に示すように、表示部１１０には文字入力モードの画面が表示される。 As shown in FIG. 6, a character input mode screen is displayed on the display unit 110.
　表示部１１０全体を文字入力可能な領域としても良いが、例えば、図６に示すように、表示部１１０の４つの辺それぞれから内側へ所定の幅分（図６では、斜線の部分）を、カーソルの移動に用いる部分として、文字入力ができない領域としても良い。この場合、検知部１２０が、表示部１１０の上側の斜線部分にて接触または接近を検知すると、カーソルが上方向へ移動する。また、検知部１２０が、表示部１１０の下側の斜線部分にて接触または接近を検知すると、カーソルが下方向へ移動する。また、検知部１２０が、表示部１１０の右側の斜線部分にて接触または接近を検知すると、カーソルが右方向へ移動する。また、検知部１２０が、表示部１１０の左側の斜線部分にて接触または接近を検知すると、カーソルが左方向へ移動する。 The entire display unit 110 may be a region where characters can be input. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, a predetermined width (indicated by a hatched portion in FIG. 6) is provided inward from each of the four sides of the display unit 110. As a portion used for moving the cursor, an area where characters cannot be input may be used. In this case, when the detection unit 120 detects contact or approach at the shaded portion on the upper side of the display unit 110, the cursor moves upward. Further, when the detection unit 120 detects contact or approach at the lower shaded portion of the display unit 110, the cursor moves downward. Further, when the detection unit 120 detects contact or approach at the right shaded portion of the display unit 110, the cursor moves in the right direction. Further, when the detection unit 120 detects contact or approach at the left shaded portion of the display unit 110, the cursor moves to the left.
　また、検知部１２０が、斜線部分に含まれて表示部１１０の四隅のいずれかにて接触または接近を検知すると、文字入力モードが終了する。 Further, when the detection unit 120 detects contact or approach at any of the four corners of the display unit 110 included in the hatched portion, the character input mode ends.
　また、このとき、表示部１１０の表示画面のどこかに、文字入力モード（文字入力中）である旨を表示するものであっても良い。 At this time, a message indicating that the character input mode (character input is in progress) may be displayed somewhere on the display screen of the display unit 110.
　検知部１２０が、その他の部分にて接触または接近を検知すると、後述する処理で、その接触または接近の移動パターンに基づいて、文字が入力される。 When the detection unit 120 detects contact or approach at another part, a character is input based on the movement pattern of the contact or approach in a process described later.
　なお、図６に示した斜線は、実際の表示部１１０には表示されないものであることが好ましい。 Note that the diagonal lines shown in FIG. 6 are preferably not displayed on the actual display unit 110.
　一方、ステップ３にて動作モードが文字入力モードである場合は、ステップ２で検知部１２０が検知した接触または接近の位置に基づいて、ステップ６にて、領域決定部１３０が、手書き入力をするための入力領域を決定する。 On the other hand, when the operation mode is the character input mode in step 3, the region determination unit 130 performs handwriting input in step 6 based on the contact or approach position detected by the detection unit 120 in step 2. Determine the input area for.
　図７は、利用者が図１に示した表示部１１０の表示面へ指を接触させたときの様子の一例を示す図である。 FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an example of a state when the user touches the display surface of the display unit 110 illustrated in FIG. 1 with a finger.
　文字入力モードで最初に図７に示した矢印のように指を表示部１１０の表示面に接触（接近）させて移動させると、この移動のパターンに基づいて、領域決定部１３０が入力領域を決定する。つまり、文字入力モードで最初に手書き入力を行った文字の位置（大きさを含む）に基づいて、領域決定部１３０が入力領域を決定する。 When the finger is first moved in contact (approaching) the display surface of the display unit 110 as indicated by the arrow shown in FIG. 7 in the character input mode, the region determination unit 130 determines the input region based on the movement pattern. decide. That is, the area determination unit 130 determines the input area based on the position (including the size) of the character that is first input by handwriting in the character input mode.
　図８は、入力領域を座標として示した図である。 FIG. 8 is a diagram showing the input area as coordinates.
　図８に示すように、領域決定部１３０は、文字入力モードで最初に検知部１２０が接触または接近を検知した移動の位置が含まれる、座標（ｘ１，ｙ１）、（ｘ１，ｙ２）、（ｘ２，ｙ１）、（ｘ２，ｙ２）で囲まれる部分（図６中、破線で囲んだ部分）を入力領域として決定する。 As shown in FIG. 8, the region determination unit 130 includes coordinates (x1, y1), (x1, y2), (x1, y2), and the position of movement that the detection unit 120 first detects contact or approach in the character input mode. x2, y1) and a portion surrounded by (x2, y2) (a portion surrounded by a broken line in FIG. 6) are determined as input regions.
　図９は、図１に示した検知部１２０が表示部１１０の右下に接触または接近を検知したときに、領域決定部１３０が決定した入力領域の一例を示す図である。 FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating an example of the input region determined by the region determination unit 130 when the detection unit 120 illustrated in FIG. 1 detects contact or approach to the lower right of the display unit 110.
　図９に示すように、文字入力モードで最初に検知部１２０が表示部１１０の右下に接触または接近を検知した場合、領域決定部１３０は、図９中に示す破線で囲まれた部分を入力領域として決定する。 As shown in FIG. 9, when the detection unit 120 first detects contact or approach to the lower right of the display unit 110 in the character input mode, the region determination unit 130 displays a portion surrounded by a broken line shown in FIG. 9. Determine as the input area.
　図１０は、図１に示した検知部１２０が表示部１１０の全体に接触または接近を検知したときに、領域決定部１３０が決定した入力領域の一例を示す図である。 FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating an example of the input region determined by the region determination unit 130 when the detection unit 120 illustrated in FIG. 1 detects contact or approach to the entire display unit 110.
　図１０に示すように、文字入力モードで最初に検知部１２０が表示部１１０の全体に接触または接近を検知した場合、領域決定部１３０は、図１０中に示す破線で囲まれた部分を入力領域として決定する。 As illustrated in FIG. 10, when the detection unit 120 first detects contact or approach to the entire display unit 110 in the character input mode, the region determination unit 130 inputs a part surrounded by a broken line illustrated in FIG. 10. Determine as an area.
　このように、領域決定部１３０は、検知部１２０が表示部１１０の接触または接近を検知した位置に応じて、入力領域を決定する。 As described above, the region determination unit 130 determines the input region according to the position where the detection unit 120 detects the contact or approach of the display unit 110.
　なお、図７、９、１０にて、接触（接近）した指の移動の軌跡を矢印付き実線で示しているが、これは説明の便宜上の表示であって、実際の表示部１１０には表示されない。つまり、表示部１１０は、検知部１２０が接触または接近を検知する直前と、検知部１２０がその接触または接近を検知しているときとで、互いに同じ画面を表示することとなる。 7, 9, and 10, the locus of movement of the touched finger is indicated by a solid line with an arrow, but this is a display for convenience of explanation, and is displayed on the actual display unit 110. Not. That is, the display unit 110 displays the same screen immediately before the detection unit 120 detects contact or approach and when the detection unit 120 detects the contact or approach.
　領域決定部１３０が入力領域を決定すると、ステップ７にて、決定した入力領域にてパターン認識部１６０がパターン認識を行う。これは、領域決定部１３０が決定した入力領域において、検知部１２０が検知した接触または接近の移動パターンに基づいて、パターン認識部１６０がパターン記憶部１５０から文字情報またはコマンド情報を読み出してパターン認識を行う。 When the area determination unit 130 determines an input area, in step 7, the pattern recognition unit 160 performs pattern recognition in the determined input area. This is because the pattern recognition unit 160 reads out character information or command information from the pattern storage unit 150 based on the contact or approach movement pattern detected by the detection unit 120 in the input region determined by the region determination unit 130 and performs pattern recognition. I do.
　例えば、パターン記憶部１５０に図２に示した対応付けが記憶されており、検知部１２０が検知した接触または接近の移動パターンが図７に示した移動パターンである場合、パターン記憶部１５０からアルファベットの「Ａ」が読み出される。そして、パターン認識部１６０は、検知部１２０が検知した接触または接近の移動パターンが「Ａ」を示しているものと認識する。 For example, when the association shown in FIG. 2 is stored in the pattern storage unit 150 and the contact or approach movement pattern detected by the detection unit 120 is the movement pattern shown in FIG. "A" is read out. Then, the pattern recognition unit 160 recognizes that the contact or approach movement pattern detected by the detection unit 120 indicates “A”.
　すると、パターン認識部１６０は、認識した文字情報またはコマンド情報を制御部１４０へ出力する。 Then, the pattern recognition unit 160 outputs the recognized character information or command information to the control unit 140.
　続いて、ステップ８にて、制御部１４０は、パターン認識部１６０から出力されてきた情報が、文字情報であるかコマンド情報であるかを判別する。 Subsequently, in step 8, the control unit 140 determines whether the information output from the pattern recognition unit 160 is character information or command information.
　パターン認識部１６０から出力されてきた情報が文字情報である場合、制御部１４０は当該文字を情報処理装置１００に入力し、ステップ５にて、入力された文字を表示部１１０に表示させることで、表示部１１０の表示画面を更新する。 When the information output from the pattern recognition unit 160 is character information, the control unit 140 inputs the character to the information processing apparatus 100, and displays the input character on the display unit 110 in step 5. The display screen of the display unit 110 is updated.
　なお、ここで、パターン認識部１６０から出力されてきた情報が文字情報である場合、当該文字について、一般的な文字変換を行うものであっても良い。つまり、情報処理装置１００が言語辞書（不図示）や言語変換部（不図示）を具備し、言語変換部が、当該文字に基づいて、言語辞書から言語変換候補を読み出し、言語変換（例えば、仮名から漢字への変換）を行うものであっても良い。 Here, when the information output from the pattern recognition unit 160 is character information, the character may be subjected to general character conversion. That is, the information processing apparatus 100 includes a language dictionary (not shown) and a language conversion unit (not shown), and the language conversion unit reads language conversion candidates from the language dictionary based on the characters, and performs language conversion (for example, (Conversion from kana to kanji) may be performed.
　また、表示部１１０が入力された文字を表示する場合、所定の表示用フォントに変換してから表示するものであっても良いし、認識したパターンをそのまま表示するものであっても良い。また、起動しているアプリケーションによって、表示する文字の大きさを調整するものであっても良い。 Further, when the input character is displayed on the display unit 110, it may be displayed after being converted into a predetermined display font, or the recognized pattern may be displayed as it is. Further, the size of characters to be displayed may be adjusted depending on the running application.
　一方、パターン認識部１６０から出力されてきた情報がコマンド情報である場合は、ステップ９にて、制御部１４０は当該コマンド情報に基づいて、コマンド処理（例えば、リターンやスペース、バックスペースの入力等）を行う。そして、ステップ５にて表示部１１０が、その処理に応じた表示を行い、再度ステップ２の処理が行われる。 On the other hand, when the information output from the pattern recognition unit 160 is command information, in step 9, the control unit 140 performs command processing (for example, input of return, space, backspace, etc.) based on the command information. )I do. In step 5, the display unit 110 performs display corresponding to the process, and the process in step 2 is performed again.
　このように、検知部１２０が接触または接近を検知した位置に基づいて、文字入力ができる領域を決定するため、入力領域の位置や大きさを気にせず、文字等の手書き入力を行うことができる。これにより、手書き入力をするときに、その都度、入力領域を自由に設定することができるという利点も生まれる。 Thus, in order to determine a region where characters can be input based on the position where the detection unit 120 detects contact or approach, it is possible to input characters by hand without worrying about the position or size of the input region. it can. Accordingly, there is an advantage that the input area can be freely set every time handwritten input is performed.
　また、表示部１１０は、検知部１２０が検知した接触または接近の移動の軌跡を表示しないため、手書き入力時にバックグラウンドで表示されている画面が見難くなることもない。 In addition, since the display unit 110 does not display the trajectory of contact or approaching movement detected by the detection unit 120, the screen displayed in the background during handwriting input does not become difficult to see.
　上述した情報処理装置１００に設けられた各構成要素が行う処理は、目的に応じてそれぞれ作製された論理回路で行うようにしても良い。また、処理内容を手順として記述したコンピュータプログラム（以下、プログラムと称する）を情報処理装置１００にて読取可能な記録媒体に記録し、この記録媒体に記録されたプログラムを情報処理装置１００に読み込ませ、実行するものであっても良い。情報処理装置１００にて読取可能な記録媒体とは、フロッピー（登録商標）ディスク、光磁気ディスク、ＤＶＤ、ＣＤなどの移設可能な記録媒体の他、情報処理装置１００に内蔵されたＲＯＭ、ＲＡＭ等のメモリやＨＤＤ等を指す。この記録媒体に記録されたプログラムは、情報処理装置１００に設けられた制御部１４０にて読み込まれ、制御部１４０の制御によって、上述したものと同様の処理が行われる。ここで、制御部１４０は、プログラムが記録された記録媒体から読み込まれたプログラムを実行するコンピュータとして動作するものである。 The processing performed by each component provided in the information processing apparatus 100 described above may be performed by a logic circuit produced according to the purpose. In addition, a computer program (hereinafter referred to as a program) in which processing contents are described as a procedure is recorded on a recording medium readable by the information processing apparatus 100, and the program recorded on the recording medium is read by the information processing apparatus 100. , May be executed. The recording medium readable by the information processing apparatus 100 includes a transfer medium such as a floppy (registered trademark) disk, a magneto-optical disk, a DVD, and a CD, as well as a ROM, a RAM, and the like built in the information processing apparatus 100. Memory, HDD, etc. The program recorded on the recording medium is read by the control unit 140 provided in the information processing apparatus 100, and the same processing as described above is performed under the control of the control unit 140. Here, the control unit 140 operates as a computer that executes a program read from a recording medium on which the program is recorded.
　以上、実施の形態を参照して本願発明を説明したが、本願発明は上記実施の形態に限定されるものではない。本願発明の構成や詳細には、本願発明のスコープ内で当業者が理解し得る様々な変更をすることができる。 As mentioned above, although this invention was demonstrated with reference to embodiment, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment.
