Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Object of the Invention (Industrial field of application) The present invention relates to a touch input display with a touch panel having a transparent touch input key element that is mounted on a display unit of a display device such as a CRT in an overlapping manner. The present invention relates to a method of displaying a setting screen using a device.

(Prior Art) An example of displaying a screen required for control of an injection process of an injection molding machine is shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 for a conventional apparatus, and FIG. 3 and FIG. The necessary items for various settings such as the timer display setting unit 10 for holding the pressure and filling pressure, the injection filling pressure display setting unit 11, the injection speed display setting unit 12, the injection speed conversion position display setting unit 13 are displayed on the CRT screen. It is what was displayed in. The operation of the conventional apparatus will be described with the timer display setting unit 10. In the case of FIG. 3, a plurality of setting item units 14 or the same setting items are supported as shown by a portion surrounded by a chain line arranged graphically. A setting item is selected by touching one of the plurality of numerical value display units 15 provided by the user, and the input of numerical data to the selected item is set by an input unit such as a numeric keypad provided outside the CRT. And the setting was changed. In the case of FIG. 4, the area of the ten-key 16 is secured in advance on the CRT screen and the operation is performed by touching the ten-key displayed on the screen.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) As described above, when setting and changing the setting using the numeric keypad external to the CRT, the numerical display unit 15 and the numerical input unit are separated from each other, which hinders operability. Also, in the case of touch operation with the numeric keypad where the input part is secured in a part of the CRT screen, only the range excluding the numeric keypad display part can be used as the data display part, and all related data are displayed on the same screen. However, there is a drawback in that the restrictions on the list of displays are increased if desired.

In addition, according to the input method using the numeric keypad, even if you want to change the setting value a little, you have to enter all the new values.For example, when you change the setting of 201.5 to 211.5, use the digital switch type setting device. If so, you only have to change the value of the tens digit from “0” to “1”, but with the input method using the numeric keypad, you will not have to change only the digit part that will be changed, but you will have to re-enter the total number of digits, There is a drawback that it takes time and effort for setting operation.

The present invention has been made in order to solve such a drawback, and the setting item portion to be selected on the setting display screen or the numerical display portion thereof is displayed, and a part of the other setting item portion or the numerical display portion is displayed. It is an object of the present invention to provide a method for displaying a setting screen by using a touch input display device that erases a key and directly changes the set value by a digital switch method with an input setting key frame displayed at the deleted position.

[Structure of Invention]

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, in the present invention, a setting item section and a large number of display sections for displaying setting numerical values corresponding to the setting items are superimposed on the same display section. In a method of displaying a setting screen using a touch input display device having a see-through touch panel having touch input key elements attached by a touch input key element, an input data display portion having at least two digits and each digit of the data display portion are provided. Correspondingly, an input setting key frame composed of an increase key and a decrease key for increasing or decreasing the numerical value of the digit directly above and directly below that digit is used when the data setting input operation is performed. When any one of the set numerical value display section is touched, the selected set item section or set numerical value display section is displayed and the other set item section or a part of the set numerical value display section is erased and the erased position is deleted. There is provided a method of displaying a setting screen using a touch input display device, which is characterized by displaying on a screen.

(Operation) Since the key frame for input setting is overlaid and displayed on the setting item part of the display screen or the position of its numerical value display part, and the display is erased for the parts unnecessary for the setting, there is a restriction on the listability of the display. In addition, since the input setting key frame has a key for increasing or decreasing the numerical value corresponding to the digit of the numerical value in the frame, the setting can be changed by the digital switch system.

(Embodiment) An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

In the description, the same members as those in the conventional example will not be described, and the members according to the present invention will be described by numbering them.

In FIGS. 1 and 2, reference numeral 1 is a key frame for input setting, in which the input data display section 2 having the number of digits corresponding to the maximum number of digits of the set numerical value display section 15 is provided, and the upper part thereof. Is provided with an increasing key 3 corresponding to each digit of the input data display section 2 and a decreasing key 4 at the lower part thereof.
The decrease key 4 and the set numerical value display section 15 have a touch key function described later.

In the normal display state, the input setting key frame 1 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is not displayed, which is the same as the display of the conventional apparatus shown in FIG.

Next, I will explain how to set the value by touching either the setting item section 14 selected for setting at the time of data setting or the setting numerical value display section 15 displayed immediately below it. The fifteenth display blinks and the first
As shown in Fig. 2 and Fig. 2, while the setting item section or the numerical value display section on the selected screen is displayed, a part of the other setting item section or the setting numerical value display section is erased and the erased position is displayed. The input setting key frame 1 is displayed to enable input.

At this time, the same numerical value as the selected setting numerical value is displayed on the input data display section 2 in the frame of the input setting key frame 1.

Here, by touching the increase key 3 or the decrease key 4 of an arbitrary digit in the input setting key frame 1, it is possible to directly increase or decrease the set numerical value to perform setting and setting change.

The input setting key frame 1 can be displayed at different positions in FIGS. 1 and 2 of the present embodiment, and when the lower half setting item is selected on the display screen, as shown in FIG. The setting items to be selected are displayed while the other setting items are partially erased to the upper position, or conversely, when the upper half setting items are selected, the setting items are selected as shown in FIG. With the items displayed, erase part of the other setting items and display the input setting key frame 1 at the lower position.
By displaying the input setting key frame 1 at this position, it is considered that the numerical values of the original setting items are not erased and become unclear.

1 to 4 all describe an example using a display device by a CRT, but plasma display, EL
Any display device such as a display device or a liquid crystal display screen type display device can be applied.

〔The invention's effect〕

According to the present invention, since the input setting key frame is displayed overlaid on the normal display only during the input operation, the display screen can be used as a data display surface, and there is no restriction on the display listing.

Also, since the input setting key frame has the input data display section and the increment and decrement keys corresponding to each digit, it is possible to change the set numerical value by the digital switch system.
The operability of data setting is improved and at the same time it is effective in preventing setting mistakes.
