Abstract

The information processing device includes a display control unit, and an execution instruction issuing unit, wherein the operation detecting unit determining that a second touch operation has been detected when movement has been detected in the touched position on a touch panel detected as a first touch operation, and the execution instruction issuing unit issuing an instruction to execute a process associated with a direction of movement in the touched position moved by the detected second touch operation.

Claims (17)

1. An information processing device connected to a touch panel comprising:

a processor;

a non-volatile storage device storing a control program; and

a temporary memory used by the processor for temporarily storing processing data,

wherein the processor, by executing the control program,

detects a first touch operation and a second touch operation on the touch panel based on coordinate information indicating a touched position inputted from the touch panel, wherein in the first touch operation, two fingers of a user contact on the touch panel, and in the second touch operation different from the first touch operation, the two fingers of the user touched on the touch panel move while keeping the two fingers on a touch panel,

displays a first screen, in which control items including a first control item and a second control item, and controllers including buttons, switches, or sliders to control the control items by one finger of the user are displayed, on the touch panel after a power is turned on, and displays a second screen, in which as a reference point substantially at a center of coordinates of two contact points of the two fingers or one of the coordinates of the two contact points, a circle graphic or a polygonal graphic around the reference point as a center is displayed, on the touch panel when the first touch operation is detected; and

wherein an angle θ from the reference point of the circle graphic or the polygonal graphic to a horizontal direction is set as a reference direction of 0°, a plurality of regions is divided by a plurality of center angle lines as a boundary, a processing content of a plurality of processes of the control items, which control same functions of the control items displayed on the first screen, is associated with each of the regions, and one of the regions arranged to face each other with respect to the reference point is set as a region of the first control item to increase a predetermined amount and another one of the regions arranged to face each other is set as a region of the second control item to decrease a predetermined amount, and

wherein when the second touch operation has been detected, the processor issues an instruction to execute a process in response to the first control item or the second control item associated with one of the regions in the direction of movement in the touched position moved by the detected second touch operation.

2. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the processor causes the second screen to display the processing content of some of the processes that can be received on the second screen among the processes that can be received on the first screen.

3. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the processor causes the second screen to display the processing content of a preset process received by the second screen.

4. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the processor re-executes the processing associated with the direction of movement in the touched position when the processor detects that the user still holds the touched position moved by the second touch operation even after a preset amount of time has elapsed after execution of the process associated with the direction of movement in the touched position.

5. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium for a system including an information processing device and a touch panel, and the information processing device having a processor, a non-volatile storage device storing a control program, and a temporary memory used by the processor for temporarily storing processing data, the system including the information processing device comprising:

detecting a first touch operation and a second touch operation on the touch panel based on coordinate information indicating a touched position inputted from the touch panel, wherein in the first touch operation, contacting two fingers of a user on the touch panel, and in the second touch operation different from the first touch operation, moving the two fingers of the user touched on the touch panel while keeping the two fingers on a touch panel; and

displaying a first screen, in which control items including a first control item and a second control item, and controllers including buttons, switches, or sliders to control the control items by one finger of the user are displayed, on the touch panel after a power is turned on, and displaying a second screen, in which as a reference point substantially at a center of coordinates of two contact points of the two fingers or one of the coordinates of the two contact points, a circle graphic or a polygonal graphic around the reference point as a center is displayed, on the touch panel when the first touch operation is detected,

wherein an angle θ from the reference point of the circle graphic or the polygonal graphic to a horizontal direction is set as a reference direction of 0°, a plurality of regions is divided by a plurality of center angle lines as a boundary, a processing content of a plurality of processes of the control items, which control same functions of the control items displayed on the first screen, is associated with each of the regions, and one of the regions arranged to face each other with respect to the reference point is set as a region of the first control item to increase a predetermined amount and another one of the regions arranged to face each other is set as a region of the second control item to decrease a predetermined amount, and

wherein when the second touch operation has been detected in the detection step, an instruction is issued to execute a process in response to the first control item or the second control item associated with one of the regions in the direction of movement in the touched position moved from the reference point by the detected second touch operation.
