Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-3356 JP 2007-157023 A JP 2009-093613 A

  As described above, in the technique of Patent Document 1, it is possible to automatically analyze the similarity of the meaning of an object and arrange the objects so that the similarity relationship can be understood on one screen. In the techniques of Patent Documents 2 and 3, , Objects can be arranged effectively on the screen. However, these conventional technologies are assumed to be used in a scene where ideas created at a meeting are arranged, and are not assumed to be used in a scene where ideas are created.

  In other words, it is important to effectively arrange objects on the screen of each participant's terminal because it is required to realize a state in which all participants can unify their intentions when organizing ideas. However, when creating an idea, it is required that each participant can easily develop his / her ideas. Therefore, the idea can be expanded by allowing objects to be freely placed on the screen of each participant's terminal. It ’s important to get to know other participants ’ideas when they get stuck.

  Therefore, if the conventional technique used in the scene for organizing ideas is used in the scene for creating ideas as it is, the development of ideas is hindered, and the self-recognizable idea idea work becomes difficult. In addition, if it is not necessary to know the ideas of other participants when necessary, it will be difficult to create an idea that is inspired by the idea.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and its main purpose is an object management system, an object display terminal, and an object display terminal capable of facilitating both self-recognition idea generation work and inspired idea generation work, and An object is to provide a display control method for an object.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention includes a plurality of object display terminals including an operation unit for inputting an object and a display unit for displaying the object, and a control device for controlling the plurality of object display terminals. In the communicably connected object management system, the object display terminal transmits the input object data, the arrangement information of the object on the display unit, and the identification information of the terminal itself to the control device. And a control unit that changes the display form of the object according to the instruction information from the control device, the control device analyzes the data of the object received from the object display terminal and resembles the object An analysis unit that identifies an object, a similar source object, and a similar source object A list creating unit for creating a list describing an object similar to an object and information specifying an object display terminal having the similar object, and an object displayed on a predetermined object display terminal with reference to the list If there is an object similar to the other object display terminal, and there is the similar object, the instruction information for instructing the predetermined object display terminal to change the display form of the similar source object And a control unit for transmitting.

  In the present invention, a plurality of object display terminals including an operation unit for inputting an object and a display unit for displaying the object and a control device for controlling the plurality of object display terminals are communicably connected.

And a third step in which the predetermined object display terminal changes the display form of the similarity source object in accordance with the instruction information from the control device.

  According to the present invention, in an object display terminal including an operation unit for inputting an object and a display unit for displaying the object, the object data input from the other object display terminal to the other object display terminal is received. Received and analyzed to determine whether there is an object similar to the object displayed on its own terminal in the other object display terminal, and if there is the similar object, change the display form of the similar source object The control part to perform is provided.

  According to the object management system, the object display terminal, and the object display control method of the present invention, it is possible to facilitate both the self-recognized idea generation work and the inspired idea generation work.

  The reason is that when there is another object display terminal near the predetermined object display terminal and an object similar to the object displayed on the predetermined object display terminal is on the other object display terminal, the predetermined object display terminal This is because the object display terminal changes the display form of the objects so that the objects are similar. In addition, when a predetermined object display terminal comes into contact with another object display terminal, the display form of the object is changed so that the other object display terminal can recognize that the objects are similar.

It is a figure which shows the example which changes the display form of an object. It is a figure which shows the other example which changes the display form of an object.

  As shown in the background art, since a terminal is used in a scene such as an idea generation in a meeting or the like, various proposals have been made regarding processing of objects such as characters, figures, and pictures embodying the idea. However, since the conventional technology is supposed to be used for organizing ideas created at meetings, if this conventional technology is used for creating ideas, the development of ideas will be hindered, and The idea-creating task becomes difficult, and if you don't get to know the ideas of other participants when you need it, the idea-creating task of creating new ideas by combining ideas becomes difficult. .

  Therefore, in an embodiment of the present invention, in an object management system including a plurality of object display terminals and a central control device that controls the plurality of object display terminals, the central control device creates an object at each object display terminal. Then, the object is analyzed to identify similar objects, and a similar object list is created and stored.

  Then, the positional relationship of the plurality of object display terminals is determined, there is another object display terminal near the predetermined object display terminal, and an object similar to the object displayed on the predetermined object display terminal is another When in the object display terminal, the predetermined object display terminal is instructed to change the display form of the object so that it can be understood that there is a similar object, and the predetermined object display terminal follows the instruction. For example, processing such as moving the object in the direction of another object display terminal is performed.

  In addition, when a predetermined object display terminal comes into contact with another object display terminal, an instruction to change the object display form so that another object display terminal can recognize that there is a similar object. The other object display terminal performs processing such as moving the object in the direction of the predetermined object display terminal according to the instruction.

  This way, when you want to concentrate your thoughts on your own, if you do not get close to other object display terminals, disturbing information will not enter your object display terminal and you want to ask people If it is brought close to another object display terminal, a person having a similar idea (that is, an object display terminal displaying a similar object) can be searched.

  In addition, because the relationship display according to the spatial position direction of the object display terminal where similar objects are displayed, it is possible to know the tendency of the whole idea, the interest of other participants and unexamined areas, etc. It can be used as a guide for how to develop ideas.

  Furthermore, since the position information of the object display terminal is used as a trigger for displaying / hiding the relationship between objects, the operation load on the user can be reduced.

  The terminal angular velocity detector 24 detects the angular velocity using a gyro sensor or the like, calculates the rotation angle from the reference direction, specifies the angle of the terminal itself (tilt with respect to the horizontal plane or the direction on the horizontal plane), and the angle information To the control unit 21.

  The operation unit 25 is a button, a switch, a pressure-sensitive touch panel in which transparent electrodes are arranged in a grid pattern on the display unit 26, and the touch panel uses a voltage value to express the XY coordinates of a force point pressed with a finger or a touch pen. The detected position signal is output to the control unit 21 as an operation signal. Then, an object can be input by a method such as selecting an object stored in advance with a button or switch, or drawing an object on the touch panel.

  The display unit 26 includes a liquid crystal display (LCD), an organic EL (electroluminescence) display device, and the like, and displays objects in a specific display form in accordance with instructions from the control unit 21. For example, as shown in FIG. 1, the object 40 is displayed in a form drawn on a card (a form surrounded by a frame so that the area of each object can be seen), and a newly input object or a selected object is displayed. Overlay and display so that it is in front.

[Central control unit]

  The control unit 31 includes a CPU and a memory such as a RAM and a ROM. The CPU controls the operation of each unit, and the memory stores information necessary for controlling the CPU. In addition, the control unit 31 determines whether or not the plurality of object display terminals 20 are within a predetermined distance. If there is, the control unit 31 refers to a similar object list to be described later and is similar to the plurality of object display terminals 20. It is determined whether there is an object, and when there is a similar object, the display form of the similar object is changed with respect to the object display terminal 20 (or a plurality of object display terminals 20) that has approached (for example, Instruction information for moving the object in the direction of the object display terminal 20 of the other party is transmitted.

  The communication unit 32 is an interface for connecting to the object display terminal 20 and establishes communication with the object display terminal 20 by using wired communication, wireless communication, infrared communication, Bluetooth (registered trademark), or the like.

  Based on the positional information and angle information transmitted from the object display terminal 20, the inter-terminal positional relationship determination unit 33 determines the positional relationship (distance and direction facing each other) of the plurality of object display terminals 20, The control unit 31 is notified of the positional relationship information.

  The terminal position history storage unit 34 stores the positional relationship history of the plurality of object display terminals 20 determined by the inter-terminal positional relationship determination unit 33.

  The object arrangement history storage unit 35 stores the object transmitted from each object display terminal 20 and its arrangement history.

  The similarity analysis unit 36 analyzes the meaning and form of the object transmitted from each object display terminal 20, and determines the similarity of the meaning and form with all the objects input to all the object display terminals 20.

  For example, when an object is input as a character, a dictionary table stored in advance is referred to, and similar words, synonyms, synonyms, and the like of words included in the character are specified. Then, an object including the word, similar word, synonym, and synonym is searched and the similarity is determined (for example, the same word or synonym has a similarity of 100, the similar word has a similarity of 80, and the synonym has a similarity) And the object display terminal 20 on which a similar object is displayed is specified.

  When an object is input as a graphic or picture, the configuration of the graphic is specified in comparison with a reference graphic stored in advance. Then, search for objects having the same or similar graphic structure, and determine the similarity (for example, a graphic composed of the same reference graphic has a similarity of 100, and if a different reference graphic includes different reference graphic, the similarity is shared. In addition, the object display terminal 20 on which a similar object is displayed is specified.

  If characters, figures, and pictures are mixed, the letters, figures, and pictures are separated, the degree of similarity is determined for each, and processing such as calculating the average value thereof may be performed. . In this embodiment, the degree of similarity is determined, but it may be configured to determine only whether or not they are similar.

  The similar object list creation unit 37 creates a similar object list for each object based on the similarity determined by the similarity analysis unit 36 and the similarity when there is similarity. FIG. 4 is an example of a similar object list. An object display terminal 20 displaying characters determined to be similar to the characters “package”, the similarity of the characters, and an object including the characters. Is described.

  The similar object list storage unit 38 stores the similar object list created by the similar object list creation unit 37.

  1 to 3 show an example of the object management system 10 of this embodiment, and the configuration thereof can be changed as appropriate.

  For example, although the similarity analysis unit 36 is provided in the central control device 30 in FIG. 3, the similarity analysis unit 36 may be provided in an external device connected via a communication network so that the central control device 30 inquires of the external device. Good. Moreover, it is good also as a structure which provides a similarity analysis part in each object display terminal 20, analyzes a similar object in each terminal, and notifies the result to the central control unit 30.

  In FIG. 2, each object display terminal 20 acquires the position and angle of its own terminal. However, for example, other object display terminals 20 are connected to each object display terminal 20 due to a change in static electricity or magnetism. Means for detecting approaching are provided, the relative position between the object display terminals 20 is acquired, or each object display terminal 20 is provided with an infrared transmission unit and a reception unit. It is good also as a structure which acquires a simple angle.

  In this embodiment, when a plurality of object display terminals 20 exist within a predetermined distance, it is determined whether a similar object is displayed on the plurality of object display terminals 20, but other object display terminals Whether or not a similar object is being displayed may be determined regardless of the distance to 20.

  In the present embodiment, the central control device 30 is configured to grasp the position of each object display terminal 20 and the similarity between the objects and control the object display form. The display form of the object can be controlled by grasping the positional relationship of the display terminal 20 and the similarity relationship of the object. In this case, the central control device 30 can be omitted.

  Next, the operation of the object management system 10 (mainly the central control device 30) configured as described above will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. In the following flow, each object display terminal 20 periodically transmits the position information and angle information detected by the terminal position detection unit 23 and the terminal angular velocity detection unit 24 to the central control device 30, and the central control device 30 It is assumed that the positional relationships of all the object display terminals 20 are grasped. Further, each object display terminal 20 transmits the object arrangement information to the central control device 30 when the object arrangement is changed, and the central control device 30 grasps the arrangement of the objects in all the object display terminals 20. It shall be.

  First, the operation of a scene where each user creates an idea will be described.

  Each user thinks of an idea, inputs an object that embodies the idea into the object display terminal 20, and causes the display unit 26 to display the object. When an object is input, the control unit 21 transmits data of the object, ID information for identifying the terminal itself, and object arrangement information to the central control device 30.

  The central controller 30 determines that a new object has been created when the above information is received from the object display terminal 20 (Y in S101), and the similarity analysis unit 36 analyzes the received object, and receives another object display terminal. It is determined whether the object is similar to 20 objects (S102). If there are similar objects, a similar object list is created or updated (S103).

  Next, the operation of a scene for associating ideas among a plurality of users will be described.

  When the user (here, user A) moves his / her object display terminal 20, the terminal position detection unit 23 and the terminal angular velocity detection unit 24 of the object display terminal 20 detect the position and angle of the terminal, and the control unit 21 transmits position information, angle information, and ID information for identifying the terminal itself to the central control device 30.

  When receiving the position information and the angle information, the central control device 30 determines that the object display terminal 20 has moved (Y in S104), and the inter-terminal positional relationship determination unit 33 receives the received position information, angle information, and terminal position history. Based on the history information stored in the storage unit 34, the positional relationship between the terminals is recalculated, and the result is stored in the terminal location history storage unit 34 (S105).

  Next, the control unit 31 centers on the object display terminal 20 of the user A and another user (here, referred to as a user B) within a predetermined distance (for example, within a radius of 1 m). It is determined whether there is an object display terminal 20 (S106). If there is no other object display terminal 20, the process returns to step S101. If there is another object display terminal 20, the object display terminal of user A is referred to by referring to the similar object list stored in the similar object list storage unit 38. It is determined whether an object similar to the object displayed at 20 is stored or displayed on the object display terminal 20 of the user B (S107). If there is no similar object, the process returns to step S101. If there is a similar object, the control unit 31 determines whether both terminals are in contact (S108).

  When both terminals are not in contact, the control unit 31 determines the position and orientation of both terminals (S109), and moves the object display terminal 20 (here, the object display terminal 20 of the user A) to the object display terminal 20 that has moved. In contrast, instruction information for changing the display form of the similar source object is transmitted (S110). The control unit 21 of the object display terminal 20 of the user A changes the display form of the similar source object according to the received instruction information. Here, only the display form of the object display terminal 20 of the user A is changed so as not to disturb the thinking of the user who thinks of the idea without moving the object display terminal 20 (here, the user B). It is to do.

  The display form of the object display terminal 20 of the user A will be specifically described. For example, as shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B, when the object display terminal 20 of the user A (terminal A) is gradually brought closer to the object display terminal 20 of the user B (terminal B), The similar object is gradually moved in the direction of the terminal B (for example, the distance is changed according to the distance between the terminals, the degree of similarity, the number of similar objects, and the like), and gradually from the object display terminal 20 of the user B. When the object is moved away, the control is performed to gradually return the similar object to the original position.

  Further, when the object display terminal 20 of the user A approaches the plurality of object display terminals 20, the display form may be changed according to the positional relationship with each object display terminal 20. For example, as shown in FIG. 7, when there are three object display terminals 20, that is, terminal B, terminal C, and terminal D around the object display terminal 20 (terminal A) of user A, terminal A is changed to terminal B. When approaching, an object having a similar relationship with the object of terminal B moves in the direction of terminal B, and when approaching terminal A to terminal C, an object having a similar relationship with the object of terminal C moves in the direction of terminal C. , The object having a similar relationship with the object of the terminal D moves in the direction of the terminal D.

  Here, the case where only one object display terminal 20 is moved has been described, but when a plurality of object display terminals 20 are moved relative to each other, instruction information is also transmitted to the plurality of object display terminals 20, The control unit 21 of each object display terminal 20 may change the display form of objects having a similar relationship according to the instruction information.

  On the other hand, when both terminals are in contact with each other, it is considered that the user B also wants to refer to the idea of the user A. Therefore, the control unit 31 determines the position and orientation of both terminals. (S111), the instruction information for changing the display mode of the objects having the similar relationship is transmitted to both terminals (S112). The control units 21 of both object display terminals 20 change the display form of objects having a similar relationship according to the received instruction information.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 6C, when the object display terminal 20 (terminal A) of the user A is brought into contact with the object display terminal 20 (terminal B) of the user B, the similar object of the terminal A is changed to the terminal B. And moving the similar object of the terminal B in the direction of the terminal A is performed.

  Thereafter, returning to step S104, the same processing is repeated, and when the user A moves the object display terminal 20 away from another object display terminal 20 in order to think about an idea again, the process returns to step S101.

  Here, as a method of changing the display form, an object having a similar relationship is moved or returned in the direction of the object display terminal 20 of the other party, but it is only necessary to be able to display an object having a similar relationship in an identifiable manner. For example, the size of an object having a similar relationship may be changed, the color may be changed, the blinking may be performed, or the frame line may be thickened. Further, the display form may be changed according to the degree of similarity. For example, control may be performed such that an object having a high degree of similarity is moved and an object having a low degree of similarity is blinked.

  As described above, in the object management system 10 according to the present embodiment, the central control device 30 manages the similarity relationship between the objects displayed on the object display terminals 20 and the positional relationship between the object display terminals 20. When the object display terminal 20 is present within a predetermined distance, the user of each object display terminal 20 is instructed to change the display form of the objects having a similar relationship according to the distance or direction between the terminals. It is possible to make it easy to perform both self-conceptive idea generation work and inspired idea generation work.

  For example, assuming a scene where an idea is written on the object display terminal 20 at an idea creation meeting, initially each person thinks of an idea. I want to get it.

  Therefore, when a participant (Mr. A) brings the terminal closer to another participant (Mr. B), some of the ideas that she wrote are drawn toward Mr. B, so there may be similar ideas. Recognize. At that time, Mr. B is concentrated (since there is no change in the terminal), so he does not notice this.

  Then, when Mr. B's concentration is interrupted, a new idea is created inspired by listening to opinions about similar ideas. Therefore, a remarkable effect can be exhibited in the scene where an idea is created.

  In addition, this invention is not limited to the said Example, The structure and control can be changed suitably, unless it deviates from the meaning of this invention.

  For example, in the above embodiment, the objects are displayed in a form as drawn on a card, but the display form is not particularly limited as long as the objects can be identified and the movements of the individual objects can be confirmed. Moreover, in the said Example, although the display form of the object which has a similar relationship was changed, you may notify the object which has a similar relationship by audio | voice, for example.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the object in which the idea is embodied has been described, but the present invention can be similarly applied to any object that can be input.

  The present invention can be used in a system including a plurality of object display terminals and an apparatus for controlling them.
