[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an improvement in a character display device that displays characters on each of a plurality of display groups constituting a display unit arranged in a line.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In general, a first display group and a second display group, each formed of a plurality of display elements, are arranged in a row with the last display element of the first display group adjacent to the frontmost display element of the second display group. A character display device that displays different types of characters in the first display group and the second display group is widely used in a wide variety of electronic devices. In the case of an audio device, an MD playback track is used. There is an example in which a plurality of types of contents such as a number, MD playback time, radio broadcast reception frequency, channel number, and the like are displayed on the first display group and the second display group.
[0003]
For example, in the case of a character display device that displays a preset number and a reception frequency for radio broadcast reception, as shown in FIG. 15, a first display group composed of a first display element 1 and a second display element 2, The display unit is configured by arranging the second display group including the three display elements 3 to the eighth display element 8 in a line.
[0004]
When the first display group displays that the FM radio broadcast reception preset number is “F3”, the letter “F” is displayed on the first display element 1 and the display “3” is displayed on the second display element 2. At the same time, the third display element 3 which is the foremost display element of the second display group is set to blank display, and the reception frequency of the fourth display element 4 to the eighth display element 8 is 80.00 (MHz). Is displayed.
[0005]
In such a character display device, another preset number, for example, “F1” is displayed on the first display element 1 and the second display element 2 of the first display group, and 107.95 ( 16), the character “1” is displayed on the second display element 2, which is the last display element of the first display group, as shown in FIG. Since the third display element 3 which is the foremost display element of the group is not a blank display but a character “1”, a character interval a is generated at the boundary between the first display group and the second display group.
[0006]
Accordingly, there is no blank display at the boundary between the first display group and the second display group, and there is only a character interval a that is not more than half of one character, and the other character interval a is the character interval of other display elements. Since they are not distinguished, the division between the first display group and the second display group becomes unclear.
[0007]
For this purpose, the display of the first display group and the display of the second display group are switched by a mode switch or the like, and only the contents to be displayed in the second display group are displayed as shown in FIG. Displaying 107.95 (MHz) in 6 digits of the second to seventh display elements 7 and further switching the mode, only the contents to be displayed in the first display group are shown in FIG. 2 and the third display element 3 display “F1”.
[0008]
In addition, a blank display is additionally set at the boundary between the first display group and the second display group, so that the total number of display characters is insufficient (the character “5” to be displayed at the end is missing). As a whole, as shown in FIG. 19, by scroll-displaying in an 8-digit display composed of the first display element 1 to the eighth display element 8, “F1” is followed by “blank”, followed by “107.95”. Display data of a total of 9 digits is sequentially displayed, so that the entire picture can be displayed in a state where the boundary between the character data of the first display group and the second display group is clarified.
[0009]
In the conventional character display device, when the foremost display in the second display group arranged in the rear position is not blank and the carry number is “1”, the last of the first display group and the second display group Since the boundary with the beginning becomes unclear, as a countermeasure against this, the boundary is clarified by switching display or scrolling display.
[0010]
Then, in order to clarify the contents displayed on the first display group and the second display group, it is necessary to switch the display or to cause the user to press an operation command for causing scroll display, for example, an operation button. There is a problem that it is not easy to use, and the entire contents of the display contents cannot be grasped instantaneously.
[0011]
Even if the forefront position of the second display group is changed from a blank display to a character display due to a carry or the like, a fixed “blank display” for distinguishing the boundary portion between the first display group and the second display group. Or adding a fixed “identification display character” such as “−” that expresses the boundary can instantly grasp the entire contents of the display, but the number of display digits increases, and the circuit Since another problem that the configuration becomes complicated arises, it cannot be a fundamental solution.
[0012]
In this way, as the number of display digits increases, the overall width of the display unit increases, so when the display panel or the like is large, the increase can be accommodated. In portable electronic devices that are limited in size, the display character shape of one display element must be reduced, and another problem of inferior visibility arises. The current situation that cannot be.
[0013]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Therefore, in the conventional character display device, when there is no display such as a blank for distinguishing between the last character display of the first display group and the front character display of the second display group. The user is forced to perform special display switching and scroll display operations. In addition, the boundary between the two display groups cannot be clarified, and the number of display digits must be increased.
[0014]
OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
Therefore, an object of the present invention is when there is no display such as a blank for distinguishing between the last character display of the first display group and the front character display of the second display group. However, it is possible to clarify the boundary between both display groups without forcing the user to perform special display switching or scrolling display operations, and to clarify the boundary between both display groups without increasing the number of conventional display digits. An object of the present invention is to provide a character display device that can be used.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In this embodiment, the character display device according to the present invention expresses the reception preset number of the FM radio broadcasting station with two-digit characters, and the reception frequency is expressed in three digits in MHz units, one digit in decimal point display, and decimal places. The present invention is applied to a case where a 2-digit total display unit of 8 digits is used.
[0021]
In the display unit shown in FIG. 1, the first display element 1 and the second display element 2 constitute a first display group, and the third display element 3 to the eighth display element 8 constitute a second display group. The reception preset number of the radio broadcasting station is displayed in one display group, and the reception frequency is displayed in the second display group.
[0022]
In this case, between the first display group and the second display group, that is, between the second display element 2 and the third display element 3, the characters displayed in the second display group are “2 digits in MHz units and a decimal point. When the display is made with a total of 5 digits, ie, 1 digit of display and 2 digits after the decimal point, the third display element 3 is blanked to make the boundary between the two display groups clear.
[0023]
Here, when the unit of MHz of the reception frequency is increased to 3 digits (hundreds), “1” is displayed on the third display element 3 that is displayed blank when it is 2 digits. Become.
[0024]
In this case, that is, when there is a character to be displayed on the foremost third display element 3 in the second display group, the character display performed on the last second display element 2 in the first display group is the third display element. Display control means is provided for executing processing such as the flowchart shown in FIG. 2, which is displayed in a state of being substantially separated from the character display position performed on the display element 3.
[0025]
When display control on the display unit formed by the first display element 1 to the eighth display element 8 is started, display control for the second display element 2 in the first display group is performed prior to actual display. As shown in the flowchart of FIG. 2, first, in step S1, is there a number in the display on the foremost third display element 3 of the second display group? In the case of No, the process proceeds to step S3, and since the MHz unit of the reception frequency is two digits (ten units), the third display element 3 is displayed as a blank display.
[0026]
On the other hand, in the case of Yes in step S1, since the MHz unit of the reception frequency is 3 digits (hundreds), the character “1” is displayed on the third display element 3 and at the same time, step S2 Then, the “display process of the second display element 2” is executed.
[0027]
In the “display process of the second display element 2”, any one of the following three processes is executed. The first is to “left-justify” the display characters on the second display element 2, the second is to “reduce”, and the third is to perform “reduction and left-justified”. Is. After any one of the first to third processes is performed, the process proceeds to step S3 where either left justification, reduction, or both are performed.
[0028]
The second display element 2 shown in FIG. 1 performs the above-described “reduction processing and left-justification processing” on the display characters, thereby reducing the display characters of the third display element 3 and the reduced display characters of the second display element 2. The boundary between the first display group and the second display group is clarified by increasing the character spacing as indicated by symbol b.
[0029]
Further, the second display element 2 shown in FIG. 4 increases the character spacing between the second display element 2 and the third display element 3 by performing a “left-justification process” as indicated by a symbol c. Note that the third display element 3 shown in FIG. 4 is an example in which a “right-justification process” described later is executed.
[0030]
Display control for the third display element 3 is also performed simultaneously with the display control for the second display element 2 executed in this way, and the display control is executed as shown in the flowchart of FIG.
[0031]
That is, when display control on the display unit formed by the first display element 1 to the eighth display element 8 is started, display on the third display element 3 in the second display group is performed prior to actual display. As shown in the flowchart of FIG. 3, first, in step S4, is there a number on the display on the forefront third display element 3 of the second display group? In the case of No, the process proceeds to step S6, and since the MHz unit of the reception frequency is two digits (ten units), the third display element 3 is displayed as a blank display.
[0032]
On the other hand, in the case of Yes in step S4, the MHz unit of the reception frequency is 3 digits (one hundred units), and the process proceeds to step S5 in order to display the character “1” on the third display element 3 concerned. The “display process of the third display element 3” is executed.
[0033]
In the “display process of the third display element 3”, any one of the following three types of processes is executed. The first is to “right-justify” the display characters on the third display element 3, the second is to “reduce”, and the third is to execute “reduction and right-justification”. Is. After one of the first to third processes is performed, the process proceeds to step S6. right Either stuffing, reduction, or both are performed.
[0034]
The third display element 3 shown in FIG. 4 performs the above-described “right-justification process” on the display character, thereby reducing the character spacing between the display character of the second display element 2 and the display character of the third display element 3. The boundary between the first display group and the second display group is clarified by increasing the size as indicated by reference numeral c.
[0035]
Note that the second display element 2 shown in FIG. 4 is an example in which the above-mentioned “left-justified processing” is executed, and the “left-justified processing” is not executed like the second display element 2 shown in FIG. In this case, the character spacing between the display character of the second display element 2 and the display character of the third display element 3 is slightly reduced as indicated by the symbol d, but the boundary between the first display group and the second display group There is no change in clarifying.
[0036]
Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the display of the second display element 2 remains as it is, and the character spacing e when the “reduction process” is performed on the third display element 3 is the same as the conventional case. Since the characters of the third display element 3 are in a reduced state, the boundary between the first display group and the second display group can be made clear.
[0037]
In the flowcharts of FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 described above, it is determined in S1 and S4 that “there is a number at the forefront of the second display group?”, But the present invention is not limited to this. It may be determined whether or not the last position of the first display group and the forefront position of the second display group are displayed adjacent to each other. This is effective when the number of display digits changes in both the first display group and the second display group.
[0038]
Next, a second character display example displayed by the character display device according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In this example, as shown in FIG. 7, the entire display unit is configured by the first display element 1 to the third display element 3 to form the first display group, and the fourth display element 4 to the seventh display element 7 is the second display element. The display group is configured, the reception preset number of the AM radio broadcasting station is displayed in the first display group, and the reception frequency is displayed in the second display group in three digits (hundreds) or four digits (thousands). ) Is displayed.
[0039]
In this case, between the first display group and the second display group, that is, between the third display element 3 and the fourth display element 4, the reception frequency displayed in the second display group is three digits (one hundred) in kHz units. In the case of the unit, the boundary between the two display groups is clear by making the fourth display element 4 display blank.
[0040]
Here, when the unit of kHz of the reception frequency is increased to 4 digits (thousand units), “1” is displayed on the fourth display element 4 which is blanked when the number is 3 digits. As a result, the display process for the third display element 3 is executed.
[0041]
The display of the third display element 3 shown in FIG. 7 is performed by performing “left justification processing” on “1” which is the last display of the display “AM1”, and thereby the fourth display element 4 adjacent thereto. The character spacing between “1” of the display characters is increased as indicated by the symbol f.
[0042]
Further, the display process for the third display element 3 is performed by performing the “reduction process”, so that the character spacing between the display characters of the third display element 3 and the display characters of the fourth display element 4 is reduced as shown in FIG. As indicated by the symbol g, the boundary between the first display group and the second display group can be clarified because it is in a reduced state even if it is substantially the same as the conventional character spacing.
[0043]
Simultaneously with the display process on the third display element 3 as described above, the display process on the fourth display element 4 may be performed. As the “display process of the fourth display element 4”, the following three types are performed. Any one of the processes is executed. The first is to “right-justify” the display characters on the fourth display element 4, the second is to “reduce”, and the third is to execute “reduction and right-justified”. Is.
[0044]
The fourth display element 4 shown in FIG. 9 is an example in which “reduction processing” has been executed, and the character spacing between the display characters of the third display element 3 and the display characters of the fourth display element 4 is indicated by the symbol h. As described above, even when the character spacing is substantially the same as the conventional character spacing, since the display of the fourth display element 4 is in a reduced state, the boundary between the first display group and the second display group can be clarified.
[0045]
The display process for the third display element 3 and the display process for the fourth display element 4 can clarify the boundary between the first display group and the second display group by performing one or both of the processes. Each display process can be made clear by selecting “left and / or right justification process” and / or “reduction process”.
[0046]
Next, a third character display example displayed by the character display device according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. This is a display example with the number reduction processing and left justification processing. The As shown in FIG. 10, when displaying a preset reception number or reception channel of a radio broadcast and displaying on two adjacent display elements with a combination of letters and numbers, for example, FIG. b) When displaying on two adjacent display elements such as F1 to F9 displayed in (c), for example, “F” is displayed on the first display element 1 and the second display element 2 is displayed. When “1” is displayed, the display character of the second display element 2 is displayed in a reduced size and left-justified display, whereby the sense of unity between the character “F” and the character “1” can be improved.
[0047]
In this case, if the character in the upper digit (left side) can be stuffed in the direction of the lower digit (right side), right-justification processing is performed, and the character in the lower digit (right side) changes to the upper digit (left side). By performing the left justification process in the direction, a sense of unity of a plurality of characters, for example, the character “F” and the character “1” can be improved.
[0048]
Next, a fourth character display example displayed by the character display device according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In this example, the number of digits of the display unit constituted by the first display group and the second display group according to the present invention is 10 digits, and each of the plurality of display elements constituting each of the display groups is a normal one. More display pixel columns are added in the column direction than the number of pixels necessary for character display, and they are integrally formed.
[0049]
In this example, month and day are displayed on the first display group, and time is displayed on the second display group. That is, as shown in FIG. 11, the first display group is formed of the first display element 9 to the fifth display element 13, and the second display group is formed of the sixth display element 14 to the tenth display element 18. Further, all of the first display element 9 to the tenth display element 18 are formed by adding two columns of pixels in the horizontal direction necessary for normal character display.
[0050]
In the first display group, month and date are displayed, the month is displayed on the first display element 9 and the second display element 10, and the fixed “/” that the third display element 11 is a separate display of the month and day. The day is displayed on the fourth display element 12 and the fifth display element 13.
[0051]
In the second display group adjacent to the first display group, the time display is performed, the hour display is performed on the sixth display element 14 and the seventh display element 15, and the eighth display element 16 displays the hour / minute. A fixed “:” which is a separate display is displayed, and the minute display is performed on the ninth display element 17 and the tenth display element 18.
[0052]
In this case, the boundary between the first display group and the second display group, that is, between the fifth display element 13 and the sixth display element 14, is displayed when the display when the second display group is displayed is one digit. The blank display makes the boundary between the two display groups clear.
[0053]
Here, when the time display by the sixth display element 14 and the seventh display element 15 is carried to 2 digits (ten units), it is blanked when it is one digit (one unit). The display “1” is displayed on the sixth display element 14, and the display process for the fifth display element 13 and / or the sixth display element 14 is executed.
[0054]
The display of the fifth display element 13 shown in FIG. 11 is performed by performing “left-justification processing” on “1” which is the last display of “11” days, so that the sixth display element 13 adjacent thereto is displayed. The character spacing between the display element 14 and the display character is increased, and simultaneously with this processing, “right-justification processing” is performed on “1” which is the forefront of the display indicating “12”. ”To further widen the space between the fifth display element 13 to a wide character interval corresponding to a width of approximately one digit as indicated by the symbol i, and to define the boundary between the first display group and the second display group. Can be clear.
[0055]
Further, the display process for the sixth display element 14 is executed every time the carry is carried out. However, as shown in FIG. 12, the regular display position on the sixth display element 14 is always displayed in the right-aligned state. In addition, the character spacing between the fifth display element 13 and the sixth display element 14 may be increased as indicated by the symbol j.
[0056]
When such “right-justified processing” is performed on the sixth display element 14, the “left-justified processing” is performed on the fifth display element 13 at the same time, thereby corresponding to a width of approximately one digit as indicated by the symbol i. Therefore, the boundary between the first display group and the second display group can be clarified.
[0057]
In this example, the “left justification process” is performed on the fifth display element 13 and the “right justification process” is performed on the sixth display element 14, but the fifth display element 13 and the sixth display element 14 are performed. “Reduction processing” may be performed on one or both of the above.
[0058]
Next, a fifth character display example displayed by the character display device according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
[0059]
In this example, the number of digits of the display unit constituted by the first display group and the second display group according to the present invention is 8 digits, and each of the plurality of display elements constituting each of the display groups is a normal one. More display pixel columns are added in the column direction than the number of pixels necessary for character display, and they are integrally formed.
[0060]
In this example, the playback track number and the track playback time in the CD playback device are displayed in units of minutes and seconds. That is, as shown in FIG. 13, the first display group is formed of the first display element 19 to the third display element 21, and the second display group is formed of the fourth display element 22 to the eighth display element 26. Further, all of the first display element 19 to the eighth display element 26 are formed by adding two rows of pixels in the horizontal direction necessary for normal character display.
[0061]
In the first display group, the reproduction track number is displayed, and the letter “T” indicating the track number is fixedly displayed on the first display element 19, and is displayed on the second display element 20 and the third display element 21. A two-digit track number is displayed.
[0062]
In the second display group adjacent to the first display group, the reproduction time is displayed in units of minutes and seconds, the minute display is performed by the fourth display element 22 and the fifth display element 23, and the sixth display element 24 is displayed. Is displayed with a fixed “:”, which is a separate display of minutes and seconds, and seconds are displayed on the seventh display element 25 and the eighth display element 26.
[0063]
Accordingly, the boundary between the first display group and the second display group, that is, between the third display element 21 and the fourth display element 22, when the display for the second display group is one digit. By making a blank display, the boundary between both display groups becomes clear.
[0064]
Here, when the minute display by the fourth display element 22 and the fifth display element 23 is carried to 2 digits (ten units), it is blanked when it is one digit (one unit). For example, “2” is displayed on the fourth display element 22, and the boundary between the first display group and the second display group is obscured.
[0065]
For this purpose, as shown in FIG. 13, “left-justified processing” is executed for the third display element 21, and display processing for the third display element 21 and / or the fourth display element 22 is executed.
[0066]
Accordingly, the space between the display characters of the third display element 21 and the display characters of the fourth display element 22 is widened as indicated by the symbol k, and the first display group has a wide interval corresponding to the width of approximately half a digit. Since the boundary between the second display groups is formed, the boundary between the two display groups can be made clear.
[0067]
Further, as shown in FIG. 14, by performing the “right justification process” on the fourth display element 22 at the same time as performing the “left justification process” on the third display element 21, as shown in FIG. A wide character spacing can be formed, and the boundary between the first display group and the second display group can be made clearer.
[0068]
In this example, the “left justification process” is performed on the third display element 21 and the “right justification process” is performed on the fourth display element 22, but the third display element 21 and the fourth display element 22 are performed. “Reduction processing” may be performed on one or both of the above.
[0069]
The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and the contents displayed in each of the first display group and the second display group are all display modes such as reception frequency, track number, and playback time. Of course, the number of digits is completely arbitrary, and the number of pixels for displaying one character can be set arbitrarily arbitrarily.
[0070]
【The invention's effect】
As is clear from the above description, the character display device according to the present invention has a blank or the like for distinguishing between the last character display of the first display group and the front character display of the second display group. Even if there is no display, the boundary between both display groups can be clarified without performing special display switching or scroll display, and without increasing the number of conventional display digits, The boundary can be made clear.
