Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
(First embodiment)
First, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
The first embodiment is a multi-function mobile phone called a digital camera (compact camera) or a smartphone as an electronic device (display data control device) equipped with a touch panel for inputting commands and data by touching with a finger or the like. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the basic components of the display data control apparatus, which is applied to a telephone.
The control unit 1 that is the core of the display data control device operates by supplying power from a power source unit (for example, a secondary battery) 2, and the overall operation of the display data control device according to various programs in the storage unit 3. The control unit 1 is provided with a CPU (Central Processing Unit) and a memory (not shown).

  The storage unit 3 has a configuration including, for example, a ROM, a flash memory, and the like, and a program storage in which programs for realizing the present embodiment and various applications are stored in accordance with an operation procedure illustrated in FIG. In addition to the unit M1, a data storage unit M2 for storing image data, an operation setting table TB1 and a direction setting table TB2 to be described later, various types of information necessary for the operation of the display data control device (for example, A work area for temporarily storing flags, timers, and the like). Note that the storage unit 3 may be configured to include a removable portable memory (recording medium) such as an SD card or an IC card, and is connected to a network via a communication function (not shown). May include a storage area on a predetermined external server side. Although not shown, the operation unit 4 is provided with various push button type keys such as a power button, and the control unit 1 performs processing according to an input operation signal from the operation unit 4.

  The touch display unit 5 includes a display unit 6 and a touch sensor 7. The touch display unit 5 senses a touch operation with a finger and inputs data corresponding to the touch operation. The unit 6 displays a function name as a software key and data such as an image on a high-definition liquid crystal display, for example. A transparent touch sensor 7 is laminated on the entire display surface of the display unit 6. The touch sensor 7 is a capacitance method that is excellent in weight reduction, light transmission, durability, etc. in the first embodiment among various methods such as a capacitance method, a resistance film method, an electromagnetic induction method, and a piezoelectric method. However, other methods may be adopted, and the touch operation may be an approach or contact operation.

  In a state where data such as an image is displayed on the display unit 6, the control unit 1 controls the feeding operation of the displayed data according to a touch operation on the touch sensor 7. That is, when a slide operation (tracing operation) that moves while touching on the touch sensor 7 is performed, the control unit 1 moves the sliding operation (tracing direction) based on the output signal from the touch sensor 7. And whether the moving direction corresponds to one of a plurality of predetermined directions, for example, two orthogonal directions, the vertical direction (vertical direction) or the horizontal direction (horizontal direction) Determine. In this case, it is determined whether the moving direction of the slide operation is the vertical direction (vertical tracing) or the horizontal direction (horizontal tracing), and the data feeding operation is controlled according to the determination direction. As a result, as will be described in detail later, for example, when “vertical tracing” is performed, data transmission is performed in units of date, and when “horizontal tracing” is performed, data transmission is performed in units of time.

FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining the operation setting table TB1 and the direction setting table TB2. (1) shows the operation setting table TB1, and (2) shows the direction setting table TB2.
The operation setting table TB1 is a setting table for setting what kind of feeding operation is performed when the feeding operation of data such as an image is controlled in accordance with the slide operation on the touch sensor 7. FIG. As shown in 1), the “feed amount” and “feed target” items are provided corresponding to “measurement time”. In this case, the “valid flag” associated with “feed amount” and “feed target” indicates which item of “feed amount” or “feed target” is valid, and is “1”. Indicates that the item is currently valid, and its value can be arbitrarily changed by a user operation. In the illustrated example, the “feed amount” corresponding to the value of “measurement time” is set when the “valid flag” of “feed amount” is “1”.

  The “measurement time” is a touch time before moving while touching on the touch sensor 7 to perform a slide operation instructing data transfer, that is, from a touch start to performing a slide operation until moving. The touch time (touch rest time at the first touch position) is measured by a timer (not shown). In the example shown in the figure, the “measurement time” is “˜1 second”, “1-2” Seconds, “2 to 3 seconds”, “3 to 4 seconds”, and “4 seconds to” are stored. Note that the value of “measurement time” and the number thereof can be arbitrarily changed by a user operation as necessary.

  “Feed amount” indicates a feed amount (feed amount per one slide operation in the first embodiment) when data is fed in accordance with a slide operation on the touch sensor 7. Then, the “feed amount” corresponding to “~ 1 second”, “1-2 seconds”, “2-3 seconds”, “~ 4 seconds”, “4 seconds ~” “1 data”, “2 data”, “3 data”, “5 data”, “10 data” are stored. Here, “1 data”,..., “10 data” indicates that if the data is a still image, the number of images to be sent, that is, 1 sheet,..., 10 sheets. , The number of pages to be sent, that is, 1 page,..., 10 pages. This “feed amount” is selected according to the value of “measurement time”, and is set as the feed amount when feeding the data. Note that the value of the “feed amount” and the number thereof can be arbitrarily changed by a user operation as necessary.

  “Sending object” indicates what kind of data is to be sent as a data sending object. In this embodiment, a classification sequence in which a plurality of pieces of data are ordered by classification is used as a data type. Note that the value and the number of “targets” can be arbitrarily changed by a user operation as necessary. Here, when a plurality of data (for example, captured images: still images) are sequentially stored in the data storage unit M2 in the order of the shooting date and time, the control unit 1 classifies each image data in the data storage unit M2. It is managed as data of each classification series ordered separately.

  That is, the control unit 1 refers to additional information (header information) for identifying a plurality of image data in the data storage unit M2 to which time stamps (shooting date and time), shooting locations, subject persons, and the like are individually added. For example, it is managed as data of a date classification series (date order) ordered in a date sequence (eg, 2nd, 3rd, 4th,...), Or a time sequence of a day (eg, 0:00) , 0:30, 1 o'clock, 2 o'clock, etc.), which is managed as data of a time-series classification sequence (in time order), or in order of time-series of time-series classification series (location order). It is managed as data, or is managed as data of a person's classification series (order of persons) in which the shooting date and time are ordered for each person.

  “Sending target” has a higher-order classification series and a lower-order classification series. In the figure, in “date order / time order”, “date order” on the left side indicates a higher-order classification series. “Time order” indicates a lower classification series than “date order” on the left side. Similarly, “monthly order / time order” of “send target” indicates the ordered series of months / calendars in order of months (calendar information), and “monthly order” on the left side is the higher-order classification series. The “time order” on the right side indicates a lower classification sequence than the “monthly order” on the left side (the same applies hereinafter).

  In the figure, “in order of year” is an ordered series of years (calendar information). The “place order” is, for example, a classification series of places arranged in order of the tourist route in the case of a sightseeing trip or the like. “Person” is, for example, a classification series of persons in which acquaintances are ordered in the order of their Iueo. In the example shown in the figure, the “measurement time” is “to 1 second”, “1 to 2 seconds”, “2 to 3 seconds”, “3 to 4 seconds”, and “4 seconds to”. The table stores “date order / time order”, “month order / time order”, “year order / time order”, “location order / time order”, and “person / time order”. This “transmission target” is selected according to the value of “measurement time”, and is set as a transmission target indicating what kind of classification data is to be transmitted.

  The direction setting table TB2 is a table for setting how to assign the upper classification series and the lower classification series in association with the moving direction (vertical direction, horizontal direction) of the slide operation on the touch sensor 7. The correspondence relationship in which one of the two directions is associated with the upper classification series and the other is associated with the lower classification series is stored. That is, the direction setting table TB2 is configured to have items of “type”, “vertical direction”, and “horizontal direction” as shown in FIG. “Type” indicates which direction is associated with the upper classification sequence in two orthogonal directions (vertical direction and horizontal direction), that is, vertical direction (vertical direction) and horizontal direction (horizontal direction). “Upper” indicates that “upper classification series” is assigned to “up and down direction”, and “lower classification series” is assigned to “left and right direction”. It shows that “upper classification series” is assigned to “direction” and “lower classification series” is assigned to “up and down direction”.

  In addition, an item of “valid flag” is provided for “upper and lower upper” and “left and upper upper” of “type”. The “valid flag” indicates which one of “upper and lower upper” and “left and right upper” is valid, “1” indicates that the item is currently valid, and the value is set by a user operation. It can be changed arbitrarily. The illustrated example shows a case where “upper / lower” is selected as an effective item. In FIG. 2 (2), the lower diagram in the direction setting table TB2 is a diagram for schematically explaining the “type”. In the diagram, the left side shows the case where the setting for each direction is “upper and lower”. The right side is a schematic diagram of the case where the direction setting is “upper left and right”.

  Here, in the case of “upper and lower upper”, when the upper classification sequence is assigned in the upper and lower direction, the lower direction is ascending order, the upper direction is descending order, and the lower classification series is in the left and right direction. Is assigned in ascending order and the left direction in descending order. In the case of “upper left and right”, when a higher classification sequence is assigned in the left and right direction, the right direction is ascending order, the left direction is descending order, and the lower classification series is up and down. In the assigned state, the downward direction is the ascending order and the upward direction is the descending order.

  Next, the operation concept of the data display control device in the first embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. Here, each function described in this flowchart is stored in the form of a readable program code, and operations according to the program code are sequentially executed. Further, it is possible to sequentially execute the operation according to the above-described program code transmitted via a transmission medium such as a network. The same applies to other embodiments described later. In addition to the recording medium, an operation peculiar to the present embodiment can be executed using a program / data supplied externally via a transmission medium. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing an outline of the operation of the characteristic part of the first embodiment of the overall operation of the display data control apparatus. When the flow of FIG. 3 is exited, the main flow of the overall operation is shown. Return to (not shown).

  FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing a data sending operation that is started when the touch sensor 7 constituting the touch display unit 5 is touched. FIG. 3 shows an operation when a slide operation (race operation) or a single touch operation is performed, and operations when other touch operations are performed are not shown. Hereinafter, the data feeding operation will be specifically described with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram specifically showing a case where data is sent according to the moving direction of the slide operation (tracing operation). When the timer measurement time is “˜1 second” in the operation setting table TB1, “valid” When the “flag” item is “feed amount” and “1 data”, and when “target” is “date order / time order”, the direction setting in the direction setting table TB2 is “upper and lower order”. This is an example of the case. In the figure, the data DC1 displayed at the center position is an image displayed before the slide operation. For example, among the time-series data (images) stored in the data storage unit M2, The latest image / oldest image, or an image arbitrarily selected by a user operation. In the figure, a circle indicates a position touched first for performing a slide operation. The data DC1 may be displayed by the first touch at the time of the slide operation (hereinafter the same).

  FIG. 5 is a diagram specifically showing the case where data is sent in accordance with the moving direction of the slide operation (tracing operation). When the timer measurement time is “1 to 2 seconds” in the operation setting table TB1. When the “valid flag” item “1” is “feed target” and “monthly / time order”, “feed amount” is “1 data”, the direction setting table TB2 further sets the direction setting “ This example illustrates the case of “upper and lower”. In the figure, the data DC2 displayed at the center position is the latest image / oldest image or an image arbitrarily selected by the user operation and displayed before the slide operation, as in the case of FIG. The data displayed by the first touch at the time of the slide operation may be used only when it is performed. In the figure, a circle indicates a position touched first for performing a slide operation.

  First, the control unit 1 starts a measurement operation of a timer (not shown) in response to detection of a touch operation on the touch sensor 7 (step A1 in FIG. 3), and then whether or not the current touch position has changed. That is, it is checked whether a slide operation that moves while touching has been started (step A2), or whether the touch operation on the touch sensor 7 has been released (step A3). Now, without detecting the start of touch movement (NO in step A2), when the release of the touch operation is detected (YES in step A3), it is determined to be a single touch, and the timer measuring operation is stopped. Then, after performing the processing corresponding to the single touch (step A4), the timer is reset (step A18), and the flow of FIG. 3 is exited. If release of the touch operation is not detected (NO in step A3), the process returns to the above-described step A2, and the timer measuring operation is continued as it is.

Here, when detecting a touch movement due to a change in the touch position (YES in Step A2), the control unit 1 determines that the slide operation has been started and stops the timer measuring operation (Step A5). Then, referring to the operation setting table TB1 (step A6), it is checked whether or not the “valid flag” of the “feed amount” is “1” (step A7), and the “valid flag” of the “feed amount” is “ If it is 1 ″ (YES in step A7), the “feed amount” in the operation setting table TB1 is searched based on the measured time of the timer and set as the set value for the current feed operation (step A8). As described above, the type (feed amount) of the feed operation is changed according to the operation state (touch stationary time) different from the moving direction of the slide operation. In this case, as the “feed target”, a default value (for example, date order / time order) may be set, or “feed target” arbitrarily selected by the user operation may be set. .

Further, if the “valid flag” of “feed amount” is not “1” (NO in step A7), the “valid flag” of “target” is “1”, so that the operation is based on the measurement time of the timer. The “feed target” in the setting table TB1 is searched and set as the set value for the current feed operation (step A9). As described above, the “sending target” is set as a sending target indicating what kind of classification data is sent as the current sending operation. In this way, the type of feed operation (feed target) is changed according to an operation state (touch stationary time) different from the moving direction of the slide operation. In this case, as the “feed amount”, a default value (for example, one data) may be set, or “feed amount” arbitrarily selected by the user operation may be set.

  As a result, when the setting of “feed amount” and “feed target” is completed based on the timer measurement time, the set contents are displayed in an identifiable manner (step A10). The example of FIG. 4 shows a state where “1” is displayed as information for identifying “1 data” of “feed amount” in the upper right corner of the image. 5 shows a state in which “month” is displayed as information for identifying “monthly order / time order” of “target” in the upper right corner of the image. The position of the identification display is not limited to within the image, but may be a corner of the display screen, or an icon or the like may be displayed.

  Next, the movement direction of the slide operation is detected (step A11), and it is determined which of the plurality of setting directions corresponds to the movement direction (step A12). In this case, the direction corresponds to the vertical direction (vertical direction) or the horizontal direction (horizontal direction), that is, whether it is a vertical sliding operation (vertical tracing operation) or a horizontal sliding operation ( It is determined whether the operation is a horizontal stroking operation. If the result does not correspond to any setting direction (NO in step A12), the above timer is reset (step A18) in order to invalidate the current slide operation, and the flow of FIG. 3 is exited. .

  If the moving direction of the slide operation corresponds to any direction (YES in step A12), it is determined whether the item “1” in the direction setting table TB2 is “upper / lower”. Check (step A13), if “upper and lower” (YES in step A13), if the moving direction of the slide operation is the vertical direction, the upper classification series is selected and assigned and set in the vertical direction. If there is, the lower classification series is selected and assigned in the horizontal direction (step A14). In addition, when the item of “valid flag” of “1” is “upper left and right” (NO in step A13), if the moving direction of the slide operation is the vertical direction, the lower classification series is selected and the vertical direction is selected. If the assignment is set and the left and right direction is set, the upper classification series is selected and assigned in the left and right direction (step A15). In the example of FIG. 4, as described above, the setting for each direction is “upper and lower”.

  When the setting process is completed in this manner, the data storage unit M2 is searched according to the operation setting (feed amount, sending target) and direction setting (upper and lower / upper and left and upper), and the additional information of each data is referred to. Thus, the corresponding data is read and acquired (step A16), and the acquired data is switched and displayed on the display unit 6 (step A17). As a result, a feeding operation for sending data corresponding to the classification series in accordance with the slide operation is performed. Thereafter, after resetting the above-described timer (step A18), the flow of FIG. 3 is exited.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 4, when the feed target is “date order / time order”, the feed amount is “1 data”, and the direction-specific setting is “up / down / upper / lower”, the slide operation in the left direction will perform one day. The data is sent to switch to the data DL1 at the time immediately before the time of the data DC1, and the data at the time one time ahead of the time of the data DC1 in the day in the sliding operation to the right. Data is sent for switching to DR1. Further, in the upward slide operation, data is sent to switch to display the first data DU1 on the date (previous day) immediately before the date of the data DC1, and in the downward slide operation, it is one less than the date of the data DC1. Data is sent for switching to the top data DD1 of the next date (next day).

  Also, as shown in FIG. 5, when the sending target is “monthly / timely”, the feeding amount is “1 data”, and the direction-specific setting is “up / down / upper”, the month of the data DC2 is displayed in the upward sliding operation. Data is sent to switch to display the first data DU2 one month before, and in the downward slide operation, data is sent to switch to the first data DD2 of the month one month ahead of the month of the data DC2. . In this case, the identification display is changed from “month” to “month”. Further, in the slide operation in the left direction, data is sent to switch to the data DL2 at the previous time in the month of the data DC2, and in the slide operation in the right direction, one of the months in the data DC2 is ahead. The data is sent to switch to the data DR2 at the time. In this case, the identification display is changed from “month” to “hour”.

  As described above, the display data control device in the first embodiment performs a slide operation on the touch display unit 5 in a state where a plurality of data in the data storage unit M2 are managed as data of each classification series ordered by classification. When the movement is performed, it is determined which of a plurality of predetermined directions the movement direction corresponds to, and a classification series associated with the direction is selected, and data corresponding to the classification series is transmitted. Since the operation is controlled according to the slide operation, when searching for the desired data while performing the operation of sending the display data, the classification series can be selected as the sending target according to the moving direction of the slide operation, For example, it is possible to efficiently search and display desired data from a large amount of data, and to greatly reduce the burden on the user. Ruhoka, it becomes highly convenient.

  In the direction setting table TB2, it is possible to arbitrarily set the correspondence between a plurality of predetermined directions and each classification series, so that it can be set according to the user's purpose and preference, and a feed operation that matches the user is possible. This makes it easier to search for data.

  Since any one of a plurality of predetermined directions is associated with a higher-order classification series and any other direction is associated with a lower-order classification series, data that is easy to understand for the user such as a higher-order / lower-order relationship. Feeding is possible, and it becomes more convenient.

  In this case, since the upper classification series is a date series ordered by date and the lower classification series is a time series ordered by time, for example, if the slide operation is “vertical tracing” in the vertical direction, the date Data can be sent in units of time, and data can be sent in units of time if it is “horizontal tracing” in the horizontal direction.

  In addition, since the plurality of predetermined directions are the left and right directions and the up and down directions, the direction is intuitively understandable for the user, and improvement in operability can be expected.

  Since the operation state different from the moving direction of the slide operation is detected on the touch display unit 5 and the type of the feeding operation is changed according to the detected operation state, the user's purpose and It is possible to change to the type of feeding operation that suits the user's preference, and the task of searching for data becomes easier.

  In addition, since the touch time of the touch operation before moving while touching on the touch display unit 5 is detected and control is performed to change the feed operation based on the touch time, the first touch during the slide operation is performed. The feeding operation can be controlled according to the touch time at the position, which is more convenient for the user.

  In this case, since the feed amount is controlled according to the touch time, the feed amount is controlled so that the feed amount corresponding to the touch time “~ 1 second”, “1 ~ 2 seconds”, etc. It can be increased to “1 data” and “2 data”.

  In addition, since the control to change the classification sequence is performed as the feeding operation according to the touch time, the classification sequence is set to “~ 1 second”, “1-2 seconds”, etc. It can be changed to “date order / time order”, “month order / time order”,...

  As the control contents of the feed operation, identification indications such as “1”, “2”,... Are displayed if the feed amount is changed, and “month”, “hour”,. Since such identification display is performed, the user can be informed of what kind of control is to be performed, which is more convenient.

  In the first embodiment described above, the touch time of the touch operation before moving while touching on the touch display unit 5 is detected, and the feeding operation is changed based on the touch time. It is also possible to count the number of touches before the touch and change the feed operation based on the number of touches.

(Second embodiment)
Hereinafter, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
In the first embodiment described above, the touch time of the touch operation before moving while touching on the touch display unit 5 is detected, and control to change the feeding operation based on the touch time is performed. However, in the second embodiment, when a slide operation (multi-touch operation) that moves in the same direction while simultaneously touching a plurality of positions on the touch display unit 5 with a finger or the like is performed, The number (number of fingers or the like) is detected as the number of multi-touches, and control for changing the feeding operation is performed based on the number of multi-touches. Here, in the two embodiments, the same or the same name is denoted by the same reference numeral, the description thereof will be omitted, and the following description will focus on the features of the second embodiment. .

FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining the operation setting table TB1 in the second embodiment.
The operation setting table TB1 is a setting table for setting what kind of feeding operation is performed when the feeding operation of data such as an image is controlled according to the multi-touch operation on the touch sensor 7. FIG. As shown in FIG. 6, the “feed amount” and “feed target” items are provided corresponding to the “multi-touch number”. In this case, as in the first embodiment, the “valid flag” associated with “feed amount” and “feed target” is a flag indicating which of “feed amount” and “feed target” is valid. It is.

  The “multi-touch number” is the number of touched positions (number of fingers, etc.) when a multi-touch operation is performed on the touch display unit 5, and the control unit 1 performs the multi-touch operation during the multi-touch operation. The number is counted. The illustrated example shows the cases of “1”, “2”, “3”, “4”, “5” of “multi-touch number”, corresponding to this “multi-touch number”. In the “feed amount”, “1 data”, “2 data”, “3 data”, “5 data”, and “10 data” are stored. Corresponding to “1”, “2”, “3”, “4”, “5” of “multi-touch number”, “target” is “date order / time order”. , “Month order / time order”, “year order / time order”, “place order / time order”, and “person / time order” are stored.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing a data sending operation that is started when a multi-touch operation (tracing operation) is performed on the touch sensor 7 constituting the touch display unit 5 in the second embodiment. FIG. 7 shows the operation when the multi-touch operation is performed, and the operation when the other touch operation is performed is not shown. Hereinafter, the data feeding operation will be specifically described with reference to FIGS.
FIG. 8 is a diagram specifically showing a case where data is sent according to the moving direction of the multi-touch operation. When the number of multi-touches is “2” in the operation setting table TB1, the “valid flag” is “ When “1” is “feed amount” and “1 data” and “target to be sent” is “date order / time order”, and the direction setting table TB2 is set to “upper / lower” It is. In the figure, data DC3 displayed at the center position is an image displayed before the multi-touch operation.

  FIG. 9 is a diagram specifically showing a case where data is sent according to the moving direction of the multi-touch operation. When the number of multi-touches is “4” in the operation setting table TB1, “valid flag” is shown. When “1” is “feed target” and “location order / time order”, “feed amount” is “1 data”, and direction setting in the direction setting table TB2 is “upper and lower order” Is illustrated. In the figure, the data DC4 displayed at the center position is an image displayed before the multi-touch operation.

  First, the control unit 1 counts the “number of multi-touches” in response to the multi-touch operation (step B1 in FIG. 7), and then refers to the operation setting table TB1, and the “valid flag” of “feed amount” is “1”. Is checked (step B2). If the “valid flag” of “feed amount” is “1” (YES in step B2), the “feed amount” in the operation setting table TB1 is searched based on “multi-touch number” and the current feed operation is performed. (Step B3). In this case, as the “feed target”, a default value (for example, date order / time order) may be set, or “feed target” arbitrarily selected by the user operation may be set. .

  Further, if the “valid flag” of “feed amount” is not “1” (NO in step B2), the “valid flag” of “target to be fed” is “1”. The “feed target” in the operation setting table TB1 is searched and set as the set value for the current feed operation (step B4). In this case, as the “feed amount”, a default value (for example, one data) may be set, or “feed amount” arbitrarily selected by the user operation may be set. Next, the movement direction of the multi-touch operation is detected (step B5), and it is determined which of the plurality of setting directions corresponds to the movement direction (step B6). Here, if none of the setting directions is applicable (NO in step B6), the “multi-touch number” is reset (step B13) in order to invalidate the current multi-touch operation, and then in FIG. Get out of the flow.

  If the moving direction of the multi-touch operation corresponds to any direction (YES in step B6), the “valid flag” in the direction setting table TB2 is “1”, as in the first embodiment. When the item is “upper and lower” (YES in step B7), if the movement direction of the multi-touch operation is the upper and lower direction, the upper classification series is selected and assigned in the vertical direction. A lower classification series is selected and assigned in the horizontal direction (step B8). In addition, when the item “1” of the “valid flag” is “left and right upper” (NO in step B7), if the movement direction of the multi-touch operation is the vertical direction, the lower classification series is selected and the vertical direction is selected. If the left and right direction is assigned, the higher classification series is selected and assigned in the left and right direction (step B9).

  When such setting processing is completed, the data storage unit M2 is searched according to the operation setting (feed amount, feed target) and direction setting (upper / lower / upper / left / right), and the additional information of each data is referred to. The corresponding data is read and acquired (step B10), and the acquired data is switched and displayed on the display unit 6 (step B11). As a result, a feeding operation for sending data corresponding to the classification series in response to the multi-touch operation is performed. Then, the set contents of “feed amount” and “feed target” are displayed so as to be identifiable (step B12), and “multi-touch number” is reset (step B13), and then the flow of FIG. 7 is exited.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 8, when the sending target is “date order / time order”, the feed amount is “2 data”, and the direction-specific setting is “up / down / upper order”, the multi-touch operation in the left direction performs one day. The data for switching to the data DL3 at the time two times before the time of the data DC3 is sent, and in the multi-touch operation to the right, the time two times ahead of the time of the data DC3 in the day. The data is sent for switching to the data DR3. Further, in the multi-touch operation in the upward direction, data is sent to switch to the top data DU3 of the date two days before the date of the data DC3, and in the multi-touch operation in the downward direction, two days before the date of the data DC3. The data is sent to switch to the top data DD3 of the date. In this case, the identification display is “2”.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 9, when the sending target is “location order / time order”, the feeding amount is “1 data”, and the direction-specific setting is “up / down / upper”, the multi-touch operation in the upward direction is the previous one The data is sent for switching to the top data DU4 at the location, and the data is sent for switching to the top data DD4 at the next location in the multi-touch operation in the downward direction. The identification display in this case is “place” indicating the place. Further, in the multi-touch operation in the left direction, data is sent for switching to the data DL4 at the previous time in one place, and in one place in the multi-touch operation in the right direction. Data transmission for switching to the previous data DR4 is performed. In this case, the identification display is changed to “hour”.

  As described above, also in the display data control apparatus in the second embodiment, as in the first embodiment, it is possible to efficiently search for and display desired data from a large amount of data, greatly increasing the burden on the user. In addition to being able to be reduced, the “multi-touch number” is detected when a multi-touch operation is performed on the touch display unit 5, and the “multi-touch number” is detected. Since the control for changing the feeding operation is performed based on "", the feeding operation can be controlled according to the "number of multi-touches", which is more convenient for the user.

  In this case, since the feed amount is controlled as the feed operation corresponding to the “multi-touch number”, the “multi-touch number” corresponds to “1”, “2”,. The feed amount can be increased to “1 data” or “2 data”.

  In addition, since the control to change the classification sequence is performed as the feeding operation corresponding to the “multi-touch number”, the “multi-touch number” is classified according to “1”, “2”,. The series can be changed to “date order / time order”, “month order / time order”, and so on.

  In each of the embodiments described above, the plurality of predetermined directions are the left-right direction and the up-down direction, but an oblique direction may be included in addition to the left-right direction and the up-down direction. FIG. 10 is a diagram for explaining an outline of the operation when a diagonal direction is included in addition to the horizontal direction and the vertical direction as a plurality of predetermined directions. If the moving direction of the slide operation (including multi-touch operation) is an oblique direction, the control unit 1 determines which quadrant on the Cartesian coordinate system with the horizontal and vertical directions as coordinate axes belongs to the oblique direction. Then, after selecting each of the classification sequences corresponding to the horizontal direction and the vertical direction for specifying the quadrant, the feeding operation for the data combining the selected classification sequences is controlled.

  FIGS. 10A and 10B are diagrams illustrating a case where a sliding operation in an oblique direction is performed. Here, as in FIG. 4 described above, this is a case where the sending object is “date order / time order”, the feed amount is “1 data”, and the direction-specific setting is “upper / lower”. In such a case, the slide operation to the right moves the data for switching to the data of the next time in the day, and the previous date ( The data is sent to display the first data of the previous day.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 10 (1), when a slide operation when moving from any third quadrant to the first quadrant on the orthogonal coordinate system, that is, a slide operation in the upper right direction is performed. Since the oblique direction belongs to the first quadrant, the data is sent to a combination of the time order in the right direction and the date order in the upward direction. That is, data is sent to switch to the data of the previous time in the previous day. FIG. 10 (2) shows the sliding operation when moving in the lower left direction so as to go from which first quadrant to the third quadrant on the Cartesian coordinate system as the sliding operation in the oblique direction. Data that combines the left time order and the downward date order, that is, data for switching to the data of the previous time in the next day is sent. As described above, since the feeding operation is performed on the data obtained by combining the plurality of classification series by moving in the oblique direction, the data can be found and displayed more efficiently.

  Further, in each of the above-described embodiments, when a plurality of pieces of data (for example, taken images: still images) are sequentially stored in the data storage unit M2 in the order of the shooting date and time, each image data in the data storage unit M2 is stored. Are managed as data of each classification series ordered by classification, but when data is stored in the data storage unit M2, the classification of the data is determined and the data of the classification series is stored in the data storage unit M2. You may make it memorize | store according to classification folder.

  Further, the present invention is not limited to still images and can be similarly applied to moving images. In this case, data may be sent by dividing every predetermined time or by every chapter. Moreover, it is not limited to image data, and may be a document file, a schedule table, memo data, or the like, or data obtained by mixing them.

  Further, in each of the above-described embodiments, as the upper / lower classification series, “date order / time order”, “month order / time order”, “year order / time order”, “location order / time order”, Although “person / time order” is exemplified, apart from the time axis, for example, in the case of a company organization, a department, an affiliated company, a business partner, etc. may be used as the upper / lower classification series.

  Further, the display data control device is not limited to a digital camera and a multi-function mobile phone, but may be a personal computer, a PDA (personal portable information communication device), a portable music player, a portable game machine, or the like. Good.
