Abstract

A portable information terminal for a user of a moving object includes: a display configured to perform a position instruction operation on a display image, and a controller configured to perform movement control of the moving object based on a specific operation from the user on the display. The controller is configured to cause the display to display a guidance image that prompts the specific operation when waiting for receiving the specific operation, store position information of the specific operation performed by the user based on the guidance image, and display the guidance image that prompts the specific operation based on the position information on the display in a case of storing the position information when waiting for receiving the specific operation.

Claims (25)

1. A portable information terminal for a user of a moving object, the information terminal comprising:

a display configured to perform a position instruction operation on a display image; and

a controller configured to perform movement control of the moving object based on a specific operation from the user on the display, wherein

the controller is configured to

cause the display to display a guidance image that prompts the specific operation in a state in which the specific operation is not performed,

store position information that indicates a range where the user performs the specific operation on the display based on the guidance image, and

cause the display to display the guidance image that prompts another specific operation and on which an image that indicates the range is superimposed, in a state in which the another specific operation is not performed after the specific operation is performed.

2. The information terminal according to claim 1 , wherein

in the state in which the another specific operation is not performed, the controller changes the image that indicates the range based on a history of receiving the specific operation from the user.

3. The information terminal according to claim 1 , wherein

the specific operation and the another specific operation include a rotation instruction operation,

the guidance image includes a rotation guidance image that prompts the rotation instruction operation, and

the controller stores the position information for each of the rotation instruction operation in a clockwise direction and the rotation instruction operation in a counterclockwise direction.

4. A control method performed by a controller of a portable information terminal for a user of a moving object, wherein

the information terminal includes a display configured to perform a position instruction operation on a display image the controller configured to perform movement control of the moving object based on a specific operation from the user on the display, and

the control method comprises:

causing the display to display a guidance image that prompts the specific operation in a state in which the specific operation is not performed,

storing position information that indicates a range where the user performs the specific operation on the display based on the guidance image, and

causing the display to display the guidance image that prompts another specific operation and on which an image that indicates the range is superimposed, in a state in which the another specific operation is not performed after the specific operation is performed.

5. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a control program for causing a controller of a portable information terminal for a user of a moving object to execute processing, wherein

the information terminal includes a display configured to perform a position instruction operation on a display image and the controller configured to perform movement control of the moving object based on a specific operation from the user on the display,

the processing comprises:

causing the display to display a guidance image that prompts the specific operation in a state in which the specific operation is not performed,

storing position information that indicates a range where the user performs the specific operation on the display based on the guidance image, and

causing the display to display the guidance image that prompts the specific operation and on which an image that indicates the range is superimposed, in a state in which the another specific operation is not performed after the specific operation is performed.
