INPUT CONTROL DEVICE, THIN-CLIENT SYSTEM, INPUT CONTROL METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM

摘要

The display control unit of an input control device displays an image containing an operation target region (OB) on a display unit, and an operation verification unit obtains the contact coordinates (CO) indicating a position where a user contacted a touch panel (TD). The display control unit displays a pointer (PO) in a manner such that the direction of a pointer vector (CP) from the contact coordinates (CO) toward the pointer (PO) substantially matches the direction from the center coordinates (CE) of the touch panel display (TD) toward the contact coordinates, and the size of the pointer vector (CP) increases according to an increase in the size (LC) of the contact vector (CC).

主权项

1. An input control device comprising:
a touch panel display; an image display unit that displays an image including operation target regions on the touch panel display; a storage unit that stores event correspondence information exhibiting correspondence of an event occurred in each of the operation target regions to a piece of event information, in each of the operation target regions; an operation recognition unit that acquires a contact coordinate of a position at which a user has touched the touch panel display; a pointer displaying unit that displays a pointer such that the direction of a pointer vector extending from the contact coordinate to a pointer is nearly the same as the direction of a contact point vector extending from a reference point on the touch panel display to the contact coordinate, and the magnitude of the pointer vector increases according to an increase in the magnitude of the contact point vector; and an event information generation unit that generates a piece of event information corresponding to an event occurred in an operation target region referring to the event correspondence information, in a case where an indicated coordinate, which is a coordinate of a position indicated by the pointer, is judged to have entered and/or exited any operation target region by deciding whether the indicated coordinate is within any of the operation target regions or not.
