JP 2006-134184 A
In the above-described conventional technology, the operability of the pointing device changes significantly when the arrangement of the display area on the user interface screen changes. That is, in the conventional technology, the coordinates specified by the pointing device and the screen coordinates correspond one-to-one, so even if the arrangement of the display area changes, the coordinates specified by the pointing device and the screen coordinates The correspondence with is unchanged. For this reason, for example, when a state in which the entire display unit is a display region changes to a state in which a part of the display unit is a display region, only a part of the coordinate value range that can be specified by the pointing device is included in the display region. The coordinates can be specified. Accordingly, a state in which the coordinates in the display area are specified by the pointing device and a state in which the coordinates are not specified are mixed, but the change in this state is difficult for the user to recognize, and as a result, the pointing device The operability of is reduced.
The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a technique capable of preventing the operability of the pointing device from being lowered.
In order to achieve the above object, an arrangement determining means for determining the arrangement of the display area on the display section, a display control means for displaying a user interface screen in the display area, and a display section based on the output value of the pointing device. Pointer display means for displaying a pointer, and when the arrangement changes, the pointer display means determines a range of the display unit corresponding to the range of the output value of the pointing device based on the changed arrangement. An instruction reception system is configured.
Further, in order to achieve the above object, an arrangement determination step for determining the arrangement of the display area on the display unit, a display control step for displaying a user interface screen in the display area, and a display based on the output value of the pointing device A pointer display step for displaying a pointer on the part. In the pointer display step, when the arrangement changes, the range of the display unit corresponding to the range of the output value of the pointing device is determined based on the changed arrangement. An instruction receiving method is configured.
Furthermore, in order to achieve the above object, a display determination function for determining the layout of the display area on the display unit, a display control function for displaying a user interface screen in the display area, and a display based on the output value of the pointing device An instruction receiving program for causing a computer to realize a pointer display function for displaying a pointer on a section, and in the pointer display function, when the arrangement changes, the range of the output value of the pointing device based on the changed arrangement An instruction receiving program is configured to cause the computer to realize the function of determining the range of the display unit corresponding to.
That is, when the arrangement of the display area on the display unit is changed, the range of the display unit corresponding to the output value range of the pointing device is determined based on the changed arrangement. For this reason, no matter how the arrangement of the display area changes, the correspondence between the range of the output value of the pointing device and the range of the display unit can be changed according to the changed arrangement. Therefore, it is possible to make the corresponding relationship a relationship according to the arrangement of the display areas, and it is possible to prevent the operability of the pointing device from being deteriorated.
It is a block diagram which shows an instruction | indication reception system. (2A), (2B), and (2C) are diagrams showing examples of user interface screens. It is a flowchart which shows a pointer display process.
(1) Configuration of instruction reception system:
(2) Pointer display processing:
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a navigation system 10 that realizes an instruction receiving system according to an embodiment of the present invention. The instruction receiving system according to the present embodiment is realized as one function of the navigation system 10 mounted on the vehicle. The navigation system 10 includes a control unit 20 including a CPU, a RAM, a ROM, and the like, and the control unit 20 can execute a desired program recorded in the ROM or the recording medium 30. In the present embodiment, the control unit 20 can execute a navigation program 21, and by executing the navigation program 21, a vehicle on which the navigation system 10 is mounted is designated based on a GPS signal (not shown) or the like. Guide to the ground. Further, the navigation program 21 can cause the control unit 20 to execute various processes other than the process related to the guidance guidance. In the present embodiment, the navigation program 21 has a function of performing a process related to audio reproduction as one of them. Yes. For example, the control unit 20 can acquire music data recorded on the recording medium 30 by the processing of the navigation program 21 and output music from a speaker (not shown).
Further, the vehicle includes a pointing device 41 and a display unit 40 that can be used when performing input / output related to the guidance guidance. The display unit 40 is connected to the control unit 20 via an interface (not shown), and the control unit 20 outputs a control signal to the display unit 40 to specify arbitrary coordinates and display an arbitrary image. It can be displayed on the display unit 40. In the present embodiment, the control unit 20 displays a user interface screen for using various functions on the display unit 40. In the present embodiment, the user interface screen includes an icon and a pointer for designating the icon.
The pointing device 41 includes a lever and is connected to the control unit 20 through an interface (not shown). When the user operates the lever of the pointing device 41, the pointing device 41 outputs a signal corresponding to the operation content of the lever. The control unit 20 acquires the signal and specifies the operation content of the user. That is, the control unit 20 acquires the display position of the pointer displayed on the user interface screen based on the output of the pointing device 41, and the control unit 20 changes the display position of the pointer by following the change in the display position. Let For this reason, the user can perform an input for selecting an icon on the user interface screen by moving the pointer by operating the pointing device 41. In the present embodiment, the pointing device 41 can output two types of output values corresponding to two coordinate axes, and can specify two-dimensional coordinates using the two types of output values. The range of the output value is determined in advance and is 0 to 255 for each coordinate axis.
In the present embodiment, various functions are realized by the user interface screen. However, since the display contents to be displayed on the user interface screen may be different for each function, the arrangement of display areas may be different on the user interface screen of each function. . In this way, in a configuration in which the arrangement of the display area on the user interface screen can be changed, if the state in which the coordinates specified by the pointing device and the coordinates of the screen are in one-to-one correspondence is maintained, the pointing device The operability of will change significantly.
Therefore, in this embodiment, a configuration for preventing the operability of the pointing device from being deteriorated is employed. In order to provide a user interface screen having a different display area arrangement while suppressing such a decrease in operability, the navigation program 21 includes an arrangement determination unit 21a, a display control unit 21b, and a pointer display unit 21c.
The arrangement determining unit 21a is a program module that causes the control unit 20 to realize a function of determining the arrangement of the display area on the display unit. That is, since the display area of the user interface screen displayed on the display unit 40 changes according to various triggers, when the trigger occurs, the control unit 20 uses the processing of the arrangement determination unit 21a as a trigger. Accordingly, the user interface screen to be displayed is specified, and the arrangement of the display area in which the user interface screen is to be displayed is determined. The arrangement of the display area is defined in advance as arrangement information 30 a and recorded in the recording medium 30. Accordingly, when a trigger for changing the arrangement of the display area of the user interface screen occurs, the control unit 20 refers to the arrangement information 30a and determines the arrangement of the display area.
Here, a user interface screen for selecting options such as destination search results, a user interface screen on which only a map for guidance is displayed, and a map and audio playback for guidance are performed. It is assumed that the user interface screen on which the operation screen for displaying can change mutually. That is, when the user performs an operation to display each user interface screen using the pointing device 41 or the like, a trigger to display each user interface screen has occurred.
In this specification, a user interface screen for selecting options such as a destination search result is a display area in which the entire width of the display section 40 (the length in the horizontal direction of the display section 40) is the width of the display area. Is one screen, and the arrangement of the display areas is referred to as a first arrangement. 2A is a diagram illustrating a state where the user interface screen Is is displayed in the first arrangement on the display unit 40. FIG. The user interface screen on which only the map for performing guidance is displayed is a single display area in which a part of the width of the display unit 40 is the width of the display area, and the arrangement of the display area is the second. Called arrangement. FIG. 2B is a diagram showing a state where the user interface screen Im is displayed in the second arrangement on the display unit 40. As shown in FIG. 2B, in the second arrangement, the entire width of the user interface screen Im is narrower than the entire width of the display unit 40, and there are regions where the user interface screen is not displayed in the left and right regions. In a user interface screen on which a map for performing guidance and an operation screen for performing audio playback are displayed, the first range in the width of the display unit 40 is a first display area for displaying a map. The second range, which is the remaining range of the width of the display unit 40, becomes the width of the second display area. Such an arrangement of the display area is referred to as a third arrangement. 2C is a diagram illustrating a state where the user interface screens Im and Ia are displayed in the third arrangement on the display unit 40.
The display control unit 21b is a program module that causes the control unit 20 to realize a function of displaying a user interface screen in the display area. In the present embodiment, a predetermined storage area is secured in the RAM in order to display an arbitrary image in the entire display area of the display unit 40. The control unit 20 generates information for displaying the default user interface screen in the display area determined by the processing of the arrangement determining unit 21a, and writes the information for displaying in the corresponding display area in the RAM. In the present embodiment, a map and an icon can be displayed on the user interface screen. An image showing a map is generated by the control unit 20 based on map information (not shown).
An image indicating an icon is defined in advance as icon information 30b. The control unit 20 refers to the icon information 30b to acquire an icon image to be displayed on each user interface screen, and the icon is displayed at a predetermined position. The icon image is recorded in the RAM so that the image is arranged. When the control unit 20 outputs the RAM information to the display unit 40, the display unit 40 displays a predetermined user interface screen for each display area of the layout determined by the processing of the layout determination unit 21a. Is displayed.
The pointer display unit 21 c is a program module that causes the control unit 20 to realize a function of displaying a pointer on the display unit 40 based on the output value of the pointing device 41. That is, the control unit 20 acquires the output value of the pointing device 41 and determines the display position of the pointer based on the output value. In the present embodiment, an image indicating a pointer is also defined in advance as icon information 30b. Therefore, the control unit 20 acquires information indicating the image of the pointer from the icon information 30b, and writes information for displaying the image of the pointer at the display position in the RAM. Accordingly, the control unit 20 outputs the information in the RAM to the display unit 40 by the processing of the display control unit 21b, whereby the pointer is displayed on the display unit 40 at the display position designated by the pointing device 41.
In this embodiment, since the arrangement of the display area changes according to various triggers, the control unit 20 responds to the arrangement of the display area when determining the display position of the pointer by the processing of the pointer display unit 21c. The range of the output value of the pointing device 41 is associated with the range of the display unit 40 to determine the display position. That is, the control unit 20 selects a correspondence relationship between the range of the output value of the pointing device 41 and the range of the display unit 40 according to the arrangement of the display region after the change, and displays the display position from the output value based on the correspondence relationship. To decide.
The correspondence relationship can be defined by various methods, and may be defined so that the operability of the pointing device 41 does not deteriorate when the arrangement of the display area changes. In the present embodiment, the width in each of the display areas after the arrangement has changed and the value range of the output value of the pointing device 41 are defined as a correspondence relationship. According to this configuration, since the entire display area is specified using the entire value range of the output value of the pointing device 41, the operation is substantially invalidated when the pointing device 41 is operated. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the operability of the pointing device 41 from deteriorating because there is no output value (a state in which the output value of the pointing device 41 indicates a portion outside the display area). The range of the display unit 40 corresponding to the range of the output value of the pointing device 41 is determined when the arrangement of the display region changes. Of course, even before the change, the range of the output value of the pointing device 41 The range of the display unit 40 has a specific correspondence. For example, when the arrangement of the display area is the initial arrangement or the default arrangement, a configuration in which the range of the display unit 40 corresponding to the output value range of the pointing device 41 becomes the initial range or the default range is adopted.
In the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 2A to 2C, when the arrangement of the display area changes, the display area (the size of the display area and the number of display areas) changes in the width direction of the display unit 40. Therefore, the control unit 20 changes the range of the output value and the range of the display unit 40 with respect to the output value indicating the position in the width direction among the two types of output values of the pointing device 41. Of course, when the display area also changes in the height direction perpendicular to the width direction, the range of the output value and the range of the display unit 40 in the two types of output values of the pointing device 41 may be changed.
When the arrangement of the display area after the change is the first arrangement in the present embodiment, the control unit 20 indicates the position in the width direction among the two output values of the pointing device 41 by the processing of the pointer display unit 21c. The output value range (0 to 255) is associated with the entire width of the display unit 40 (the x coordinate minimum value x min to the maximum value x max indicating the position in the width direction). As a result, the user, when performing an operation of changing the position in the width direction in the pointing device 41, the pointer Icp moves the entire width W 1 of the display unit 40 shown in FIG. 2A as a movable range.
When the arrangement of the display area after the change is the second arrangement, the control unit 20 performs the processing of the pointer display unit 21c, and the output value range indicating the position in the width direction among the two types of output values of the pointing device 41. (0 to 255) is associated with a part of the width of the display unit 40 (x coordinate values x 1 to x 2 indicating the position in the width direction). That is, in the second arrangement, as shown in FIG. 2B, a part W 2 of the width of the display unit 40 is the display area of the user interface screen Im. associating the range of output values indicative of the position of the width W 2 and the width direction is a part of the width of the display unit 40. As a result, the user, when performing an operation of changing the position in the width direction in the pointing device 41, the pointer Icp moves the portion of the width W 2 of the display unit 40 shown in FIG. 2B as excursions, width W 2 pointers to left and right areas beyond will not be reached.
In the configuration in which the arrangement of the display areas can be changed between the first arrangement and the second arrangement as in the present embodiment, for example, when the first arrangement is changed to the second arrangement, the pointing device 41 If the correspondence relationship between the range of the output value and the range of the display unit 40 is not changed, the region outside the width W 2 in the second arrangement corresponds to the output value of the pointing device 41. Therefore, when the pointing device 41 is operated, there is an output value that makes the operation substantially invalid, and the operability of the pointing device 41 is deteriorated.
However, in the present embodiment, the output value range and the entire width W 1 of the display unit 40 are associated with each other in the first arrangement, and the output value range and the display unit 40 in the second arrangement. A part W 2 of the width is associated. Therefore, when the pointing device 41 is operated in both the first arrangement and the second arrangement, there is no output value that makes the operation substantially invalid, and the operability of the pointing device 41 is reduced. Can be prevented.
When the arrangement of the display area after the change is the third arrangement and the pointer exists in the first display area, the control unit 20 performs two types of output of the pointing device 41 by the processing of the pointer display unit 21c. Among the values, the range (0 to 255) of the output value indicating the position in the width direction is associated with the first range (minimum value x min to value x 3 of the x coordinate indicating the position in the width direction). That is, in the third arrangement, as shown in FIG. 2C, the first range W 31 in the width direction of the display unit 40 is a first display area for displaying the user interface screen Im, and the width direction of the display unit 40 is the second range W 32 is the remaining range is a second display area for displaying the user interface screen Ia in.
Thus, when the display area after the change is the third arrangement and the pointer is present in the first display area, the control unit 20 has a width that is the entire width of the first display area. W 31 is associated with the range (0 to 255) of the output value indicating the position in the width direction. As a result, when the user performs an operation of changing the position in the width direction of the pointer existing in the first display area with the pointing device 41, the pointer Icp is the width W 31 of the display unit 40 shown in FIG. 2C. Move as a range of motion.
When the arrangement of the display area after the change is the third arrangement and the pointer exists in the second display area, the control unit 20 performs two types of output of the pointing device 41 by the processing of the pointer display unit 21c. Among the values, the range (0 to 255) of the output value indicating the position in the width direction is associated with the second range (the x coordinate value x 3 to the maximum value x max indicating the position in the width direction). As a result, when the user performs an operation of changing the position in the width direction of the pointer existing in the second display area with the pointing device 41, the pointer changes the width W 32 of the display unit 40 shown in FIG. 2C. Move as a range of motion.
According to the above configuration, even when the pointer exists in either the first display area or the second display area, when the user operates the pointing device 41, the operation is substantially invalid. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the operability of the pointing device 41 from deteriorating. In the present embodiment, the area of width W 2 in the second arrangement and the area of width W 31 in the third arrangement are map display areas as shown in FIGS. 2B and 2C. Then, in the present embodiment, as the width W 2 and the width W 31 is the same length, the arrangement of the display area is specified. According to this configuration, even if the arrangement of the display areas changes between the second arrangement and the third arrangement, the amount of operation of the pointing device 41 to be operated when the pointer on the map is moved by a unit distance does not change. . Therefore, the operability does not change due to the change of the display area.
Note that the third arrangement is configured to move from one display area to the other display area when the pointer exists for a predetermined period at the boundary between the first display area and the second display area. That is, when the pointer exists in the first display area, the control unit 20 moves the pointer to the second display area when a predetermined period elapses with the output value of the pointing device 41 being the maximum value. In addition, when the pointer is in the second display area, the control unit 20 moves the pointer to the first display area when a predetermined period elapses with the output value of the pointing device 41 being the minimum value.
Next, the pointer display process will be described in detail. FIG. 3 is a flowchart of the pointer display process. The pointer display process is a trigger for changing the arrangement of the display area in the process in which the control unit 20 displays a user interface screen including a pointer and an icon on the display unit 40 by the processes of the display control unit 21b and the pointer display unit 21c. It is executed when an error occurs.
In the pointer display process, the control unit 20 determines whether or not the display area after the change is the third arrangement by the process of the pointer display unit 21c (step S100). In step S100, when it is not determined that the display area after the change is the third arrangement, the control unit 20 determines whether the display area after the change is the first arrangement by the processing of the pointer display unit 21c. Is determined (step S105).
In step S105, when it is determined that the arrangement of the display area after the change is the first arrangement, the control unit 20 performs the processing of the pointer display unit 21c and the range of the output value of the pointing device 41 and the width of the display unit 40. Are associated with each other (step S110). That is, the control unit 20, of the two types of output values of the pointing device 41, the output value range (0 to 255) indicating the position in the width direction and the entire width of the display unit 40 (x indicating the position in the width direction). Coordinate minimum value x min to maximum value x max ).
On the other hand, when it is not determined in step S105 that the display area after the change is the first arrangement, that is, when the arrangement of the display area is the second arrangement, the control unit 20 performs processing by the pointer display unit 21c. The range of the output value of the pointing device 41 is associated with a part of the width of the display unit 40 (step S115). That is, the control unit 20 includes a range (0 to 255) of the output value indicating the position in the width direction and a part of the width of the display unit 40 (shows the position in the width direction) of the two output values of the pointing device 41. The x-coordinate values x 1 to x 2 (full width of the display area displayed in the second arrangement) are associated with each other.
On the other hand, when it is determined in step S100 that the display area after the change is the third arrangement, the control unit 20 determines whether or not the display position of the previous pointer is within the first display area. (Step S120). The immediately preceding pointer display position can be specified by a configuration in which a log of the pointer display position is recorded and the control unit 20 refers to the log.
In step S120, when it is determined that the display position of the previous pointer is within the first display area, the control unit 20 performs the processing of the pointer display unit 21c, and the range of the output value of the pointing device 41 and the first range. Are associated with each other (step S125). That is, the control unit 20 includes the output value range (0 to 255) indicating the position in the width direction and the first range (minimum value of the x coordinate indicating the position in the width direction) of the two types of output values of the pointing device 41. x min to value x 3 (full width of the first display area)).
On the other hand, if it is not determined in step S120 that the previous pointer display position is within the first display area, that is, if the previous pointer display position is within the second display area, the control unit 20 By the processing of the pointer display unit 21c, the range of the output value of the pointing device 41 is associated with the second range (step S130). That is, the control unit 20 outputs the value range (0 to 255) of the output value indicating the position in the width direction and the second range (the x coordinate value x indicating the position in the width direction) of the two types of output values of the pointing device 41. 3 to the maximum value x max (full width of the second display area)).
After the above processing is performed, when the control unit 20 acquires the output value of the pointing device 41 by the processing of the pointer display unit 21c, the control unit 20 performs steps S110, S115, S125, and S130. The display position is determined based on the correspondence relationship between the range of the output value associated with the range of the display unit 40. As a result, on each user interface screen of the display unit 40, a pointer is displayed at a display position determined based on the corresponding relationship.
The above embodiment is an example for carrying out the present invention. As long as the arrangement changes, the range of the display unit corresponding to the output value range of the pointing device is determined based on the changed arrangement. Various other embodiments can be adopted. For example, the means constituting the instruction receiving system may be realized by a single device, or may be divided into two or more devices. As the latter, the structure implement | achieved by the control unit which the display control part 21b controls the display part 40, etc. are employable, for example.
Furthermore, the user interface screen can assume various screens other than the screen related to audio reproduction and the screen related to guidance. For example, you may apply this invention to the structure which displays the screen regarding the camera which image | photographs the exterior of a vehicle, the screen regarding a portable terminal, a radio | wireless communications system, etc. on a display part. Of course, each control unit may be installed in a place separated from the display unit 40, or may be configured to be realized by a server installed in a place where a part of the control unit 20 is separated. Of course, each control unit may not be mounted on the vehicle.
The arrangement determining means only needs to be able to determine the arrangement of the display area on the display unit. That is, the display area of the user interface screen displayed on the display unit can change according to various triggers. The arrangement determining means may identify a user interface screen to be displayed in response to the trigger and determine the arrangement of the display area in which the user interface screen is to be displayed when the trigger is generated. The arrangement of the display area may be determined in advance according to the user interface screen to be displayed, and may be defined as information indicating the correspondence between the arrangement of the display area and the user interface screen. The arrangement may be determined on the basis of this. The number and shape of the display areas are arbitrary. Accordingly, the number of display areas may be one or more, and the shape of the display area can be various shapes such as a rectangle, a polygon, and a circle.
The display control means only needs to be able to display the user interface screen in the display area, and only need to be able to display the default user interface screen in the display area whose arrangement is determined on the display unit. Of course, the content displayed on the user interface screen is arbitrary, and an arbitrary number of icons may be included, or even if the display area includes a portion where an object is not displayed (becomes black). Good.
The pointer display means only needs to be able to display the pointer on the display unit based on the output value of the pointing device. That is, the pointer display means may determine the display position of the pointer from the output value of the pointing device and display it on the display unit. The output value may directly indicate the display position of the pointer, or may indicate the indicated position indicated by the pointer. In any case, it is sufficient that the display position can be determined based on the output value.
Further, when the arrangement changes, the pointer display means determines the range of the display unit corresponding to the output value range of the pointing device based on the changed arrangement. Here, it is only necessary that the correspondence relationship between the range of the output value of the pointing device and the range of the display unit can be changed in accordance with the arrangement after the change. The correspondence relationship can be defined by various methods, and may be defined so that the operability of the pointing device does not deteriorate when the arrangement of the display area is changed.
As a configuration example for this purpose, for example, a configuration in which the width of each display area after the arrangement is changed and the range of the output value of the pointing device are associated with each other. According to this configuration, the entire range of the display area is specified using the entire range of the output value of the pointing device, so that when the pointing device is operated, the output is substantially invalidated. There is no value (a state in which the output value of the pointing device indicates a portion outside the display area), and it is possible to prevent the operability of the pointing device from being deteriorated. The range of the display unit corresponding to the range of the output value of the pointing device is determined when the arrangement of the display region is changed, but of course, the range of the output value of the pointing device and the range of the display unit before the change. A range has a specific correspondence. For example, when the arrangement of the display area is the initial arrangement or the default arrangement, a configuration in which the range of the display unit corresponding to the range of the output value of the pointing device becomes the initial range or the default range is adopted.
The range of the output value of the pointing device and the range of the display unit may be changed in at least one direction, but may be changed in two or more directions. That is, in a pointing device capable of outputting two or more output values, the correspondence between the range of values and the range of the display unit may be variable for at least one output value. The correspondence with the range of the display unit may be variable.
Furthermore, the arrangement choices determined by the arrangement determining means include a first arrangement in which the entire width of the display section is the width of the display area, a second arrangement in which a part of the width of the display section is the width of the display area, And the pointer display means associates the range of the output value with the entire width of the display unit when the changed arrangement is the first arrangement, and outputs the output when the changed arrangement is the second arrangement. It is good also as a structure which matches the value range and a part of width | variety of a display part. That is, in the configuration in which the arrangement of the display area can be changed between the first arrangement in which the entire width of the display section is the width of the display area and the second arrangement in which a part of the width of the display section is the width of the display area. For example, when the correspondence is changed between the range of the output value of the pointing device and the range of the display unit when the first arrangement is changed to the second arrangement, the operability of the pointing device is deteriorated.
However, in the case of the first arrangement, the range of the output value is associated with the entire width of the display unit, and in the case of the second arrangement, the range of the output value is associated with a part of the width of the display unit. For example, when the pointing device is operated in both the first arrangement and the second arrangement, there is no output value that makes the operation substantially invalid, and the operability of the pointing device is prevented from deteriorating. be able to. Note that the entire width of the display portion may be substantially the entire width, and a margin may be provided at the end of the display portion. In each of the first arrangement and the second arrangement, the correspondence relationship between the range of the output value and the range of the display unit may be variable or change in the height direction perpendicular to the width of the display unit. It does not have to be.
Further, in the arrangement options determined by the arrangement determining means, the first range in the width of the display unit becomes the width of the first display region, and the second range different from the first range in the width of the display unit is the first range. 2 is included, and the pointer display means has a range of output values when the changed arrangement is the third arrangement and the pointer exists in the first display area. And the first range are associated with each other, and when the changed arrangement is the third arrangement and the pointer exists in the second display area, the output value range may be associated with the second range. .
That is, in the third arrangement in which the first display area and the second display area are displayed on the display unit, when the pointer exists in each display area, the range of the output value is the width of the display area in which the pointer exists. Corresponding to the entire area (first range or second range). According to this configuration, regardless of whether the pointer is in the first display area or the second display area, when the user operates the pointing device, the operation is substantially invalidated. Such an output value does not exist, and the operability of the pointing device can be prevented from being lowered. Again, in each of the first display area and the second display area, the correspondence between the output value range and the display range is variable in the height direction perpendicular to the width of the display unit. It may be good or not change.
Furthermore, the method of determining the range of the display unit corresponding to the range of the output value of the pointing device based on the changed arrangement when the arrangement changes as in the present invention can be applied as a program or method. It is. The system, program, and method as described above can be realized as a single device or can be realized as a plurality of devices, and include various aspects. For example, it is possible to provide a navigation system, method, and program provided with the above means. Further, some changes may be made as appropriate, such as a part of software and a part of hardware. Furthermore, the invention can be realized as a recording medium for a program for controlling the system. Of course, the software recording medium may be a magnetic recording medium, a magneto-optical recording medium, or any recording medium to be developed in the future.
