FIG. 1 shows a conceptual module configuration diagram of a configuration example of the present embodiment.
The module generally refers to components such as software (computer program) and hardware that can be logically separated. Therefore, the module in the present embodiment indicates not only a module in a computer program but also a module in a hardware configuration. Therefore, the present embodiment is a computer program for causing these modules to function (a program for causing a computer to execute each procedure, a program for causing a computer to function as each means, and a function for each computer. This also serves as an explanation of the program and system and method for realizing the above. However, for the sake of explanation, the words “store”, “store”, and equivalents thereof are used. However, when the embodiment is a computer program, these words are stored in a storage device or stored in memory. It means to control to be stored in the device. Modules may correspond to functions one-to-one, but in mounting, one module may be configured by one program, or a plurality of modules may be configured by one program, and conversely, one module May be composed of a plurality of programs. The plurality of modules may be executed by one computer, or one module may be executed by a plurality of computers in a distributed or parallel environment. Note that one module may include other modules. Hereinafter, “connection” is used not only for physical connection but also for logical connection (data exchange, instruction, reference relationship between data, etc.). “Predetermined” means that the process is determined before the target process, and not only before the process according to this embodiment starts but also after the process according to this embodiment starts. Also, if it is before the target processing, it is used in accordance with the situation / state at that time or including the meaning of being determined according to the situation / state up to that point. When there are a plurality of “predetermined values”, they may be different values, or two or more values (of course, including all values) may be the same. In addition, the description having the meaning of “do B when it is A” is used in the meaning of “determine whether or not it is A and do B when it is judged as A”. However, the case where it is not necessary to determine whether or not A is excluded.

Therefore, description of reading from the storage device before processing and writing to the storage device after processing may be omitted. Here, the storage device may include a hard disk, a RAM (Random Access Memory), an external storage medium, a storage device via a communication line, a register in a CPU (Central Processing Unit), and the like.

  The information processing apparatus according to the present embodiment performs scroll processing, and includes a command receiving apparatus 110, a data processing apparatus 100, and an output apparatus 150 as shown in the example of FIG.

In scrollable information processing devices such as editors, word processors, and browsers, if there is too much text to be displayed on a single screen, use the scroll bar to move the display screen up, down, left, or right to It was displayed. The scroll bar is displayed at the end of the display screen (generally, the right end or the lower end), and the scroll bar has a scroll box (scroll knob) and a scroll arrow. The text moves by a predetermined number of lines (for example, one line at a time) when the scroll arrow is clicked, and scrolls at a predetermined number of lines per second when the scroll arrow is held down. . Depending on the application, there is also a scroll bar that has a function of moving up or down by one screen by one click. As the display screen moves, the scroll box also moves. The scroll bar has attributes related to the length of the scroll bar itself, the position of the scroll box, and the length of the scroll box. That is, the scroll range from the top to the bottom of the scroll bar represents the total number of lines, the length of the scroll box represents the number of displayed lines relative to the total number of lines, and the position of the scroll box is the current position in the window. The approximate position of the displayed part (work area) in the entire text is shown.
Also, office machines such as copiers, fax machines, scanners, printers, and multifunction machines (image processing apparatuses having two or more functions of scanners, printers, copiers, fax machines, etc.), mobile phones such as smartphones, etc. Etc., a panel combining this scroll function and a touch panel may be employed. In this case, a scrolling operation is instructed by operating the touch panel where the scroll bar is displayed with a finger or a pen.

  The command reception device 110 is connected to the command analysis module 120. The command reception device 110 is a device that receives user operations for items (buttons, scroll bars, etc.) on the screen. For example, it is configured by a keyboard, a mouse, a touch panel, and the like. Accepts operations on the scroll bar. Here, “operation on the scroll bar” includes operations on items in the scroll bar (scroll box, scroll arrow, scroll bar rail, etc.) in addition to operations on the scroll bar itself.

  The data processing apparatus 100 includes a command analysis module 120, a scroll area variation distribution storage module 130, and a scroll module 140. Note that the data processing apparatus 100 may have a configuration including only the command analysis module 120 and the scroll area variation distribution storage module 130 in order to change the variation rate in the scroll area variation distribution storage module 130, or the scroll processing. In order to perform the scroll process according to the variation ratio in the area variation distribution storage module 130, the scroll area variation distribution storage module 130 and the scroll module 140 may be used.

The command analysis module 120 is connected to the command receiving device 110, the scroll area variation distribution storage module 130, and the scroll module 140. The command analysis module 120 analyzes the operation pattern (drag, tap, pinch out, pinch in, etc.) received by the command receiving device 110, determines the process to be executed by the scroll module 140, and transmits it to the scroll module 140.
When the operation received by the command receiving device 110 is an operation for two places on the scroll bar, the command analysis module 120 is a scroll area variation distribution storage module based on the start position and the end position of the operation for the two places. The variation rate stored in 130 is changed. Here, as the “operation on the two positions of the scroll bar”, for example, in the case of an operation on the touch panel, there is an operation of pinching with two fingers (pinch). “Based on the start position and the end position of the operation for two places” is also referred to as pinch-out (also called pinch-open) or pinch-in (pinch-in, pinch-close). In this operation, the meaning depends on the position where the finger is first placed (start position) and the position where the finger is released (end position), and the details will be described below. Note that the pinch out is an operation of placing two fingers on the screen and spreading between the fingers. Generally, this is an operation meaning “enlargement”. Pinch-in is an operation of placing two fingers on the screen and reducing the interval, contrary to pinch-out. Generally, this is an operation meaning “reduction”.
That is, the command analysis module 120 analyzes the pinch-out operation (or pinch-in operation) for the scroll area (area in the scroll bar), and scrolls for each area in the scroll area in proportion to the pinch-out amount (or pinch-in amount). It has a function of calculating the movement ratio and storing the result in the scroll area variation distribution storage module 130.

  In addition, the command analysis module 120 calculates the first variation rate in the region surrounded by the two positions of the start position based on the ratio of the distance between the two positions of the start position and the distance between the two positions of the end position. You may make it differ from the 2nd variation rate in the area | region in a scroll bar other than the area | region. Here, “based on the ratio of the distance between the two positions of the start position and the distance between the two positions of the end position” means that the distance A between the positions where the two fingers are first placed and the two This is the ratio of distance A to distance B in the distance B between the positions where the fingers are released. This ratio corresponds to the enlargement ratio or reduction ratio. “Area surrounded by two start positions” refers to an area in the scroll bar between positions where two fingers are initially placed.

  In addition, when the distance between the two positions at the end position becomes longer than the distance between the two positions at the start position, the command analysis module 120 changes the first variation ratio to a smaller value and sets the second variation ratio to the second variation ratio. Many changes may be made. Here, “when the distance between the two positions at the end position is longer than the distance between the two positions at the start position” refers to a so-called pinch-out operation. “Change the first variation rate less” means that the variation rate in the region surrounded by the two start positions is smaller (smaller) than before the pinch out. “Reducing the variation rate” means reducing the moving amount of the content relative to the moving amount of the scroll box than before the pinch out. Therefore, even if the scroll box is moved a lot, the scroll amount of the content is not as large as before. “Change the second variation rate much” means that the variation rate in the region other than the region surrounded by the two start positions (the region other than the region surrounded by the pinch out) is larger than before the pinch out ( To be larger). “Increasing the variation rate” means increasing the moving amount of the content with respect to the moving amount of the scroll box than before the pinch out. Therefore, even if the scroll box is moved less, the scroll amount of the content becomes larger than before.

  In addition, when the distance between the two positions at the end position is shorter than the distance between the two positions at the start position, the command analysis module 120 changes the first variation ratio to a larger value. You may make it change a little. Here, “when the distance between the two positions at the end position is shorter than the distance between the two positions at the start position” refers to a so-called pinch-in operation. “Change the first variation rate much” means that the variation rate in the region surrounded by the two positions of the start position is larger than that before the pinch-in. “Increasing the variation rate” means increasing the movement amount of the content relative to the movement amount of the scroll box than before the pinch-in. Therefore, even if the scroll box is moved less, the scroll amount of the content becomes larger than before. “Change the second variation rate less” means that the variation rate in the region other than the region surrounded by the two start positions (the region other than the region surrounded by the pinch-in) is smaller than that before the pinch-in. Say. “Reducing the variation rate” means reducing the movement amount of the content with respect to the movement amount of the scroll box than before the pinch-in. Therefore, even if the scroll box is moved a lot, the scroll amount of the content is not as large as before.

  The scroll area variation distribution storage module 130 is connected to the command analysis module 120 and the scroll module 140. The scroll area variation distribution storage module 130 stores the scroll movement ratio at the time of dragging the scroll bar for each of the divided areas in the scroll area. The scroll area variation distribution storage module 130 is a value indicating the correspondence between the amount of movement of the scroll box and the amount of movement of the display content scrolled with the movement of the scroll box, corresponding to the area in the scroll bar. Memorize the variation rate. Here, the “area in the scroll bar” means a plurality of scroll bars in the direction in which the scroll box can be moved (vertical direction in the case of a vertical scroll bar, horizontal direction in the case of a horizontal scroll bar). It is divided into individual areas. Each region may have the same size or different sizes. An example of data stored in the scroll area variation distribution storage module 130 is a variation distribution table 700. Details will be described later using the example of FIG.

The scroll module 140 is connected to the command analysis module 120, the scroll area variation distribution storage module 130, and the output device 150. The scroll module 140 executes processing when the scroll bar is operated. Then, based on the variation rate (scroll movement ratio) stored in the scroll area variation distribution storage module 130, the scroll movement amount is changed for each region. Specifically, when an operation for moving the scroll box is accepted, the variation rate stored in the scroll area variation distribution storage module 130 is extracted based on the area in the scroll bar where the scroll box is located. Then, the display contents are scrolled according to the variation rate. Since the scroll area variation distribution storage module 130 stores the region and the variation rate in association with each other, the variation rate corresponding to the region is extracted. Then, the content is scrolled by a scroll amount corresponding to the extracted variation rate.
The output device 150 is connected to the scroll module 140. The output device 150 is a device for displaying a GUI screen in an information processing device having a GUI (Graphical User Interface) function. For example, it is configured by a liquid crystal display or the like.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing an example of processing according to this embodiment.
In step S202, the command receiving apparatus 110 determines whether or not there is an operation on the scroll area. If there is an operation, the process proceeds to step S204.
In step S204, the command analysis module 120 determines the operation content, and if it is a single tap, the process proceeds to step S206. If the scroll bar drag (operation to move the scroll box), the process proceeds to step S208. Advances to step S210.
In step S206, the command analysis module 120 determines page up or page down based on the tap position, and calculates the scroll amount.

In step S208, the command analysis module 120 calculates the scroll amount from the scroll area variation distribution.
In step S210, the command analysis module 120 calculates scroll area variation distribution data from the pinch out amount.
In step S212, the command analysis module 120 stores the scroll area variation distribution data in the scroll area variation distribution storage module 130.
In step S214, the scroll module 140 calculates the display position of the scroll box and the length of the scroll box based on the current display position and the scroll area variation distribution data for the entire document.
In step S216, the output device 150 creates and displays drawing data based on the calculated scroll amount, scroll box display position, and scroll box length.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a variation distribution calculation process.
In step S302, the touch position at the start of the pinch-out operation is acquired (two locations).
In step S304, which region on the scroll area variation distribution storage module 130 corresponds is calculated from the touch position (two locations). Then, region data at the start of the operation is output as a calculation result, and the region data at the start of the operation is used in steps S310 and S312.
In step S306, the touch position at the end of the pinch-out operation is acquired.

In step S308, the amount of change in the touch interval at the start and end of the pinch-out operation is calculated (the amount of change on the inside and outside of the touch). Then, variation rate data is output as a calculation result, and the variation rate data is used in steps S310 and S312.
In step S310, a new variation rate is determined by dividing the enlargement ratio based on the amount of change before and after the pinch-out operation for each region surrounded by the two regions at the start of the operation.
In step S312, a new variation rate for each outer region is determined by dividing the reduction ratio based on the amount of change in the outer region including the two regions at the start of the operation. For each of the outer regions including the two regions at the start of the operation, a new variation rate is determined by dividing the reduction ratio based on the amount of change before and after the pinch-out operation.
In step S314, the calculated variation rate for each area is stored in the scroll area variation distribution storage module 130.

FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the scroll bar 410 in the display screen 400 to be processed according to the present embodiment.
A display screen 400 is an address book displayed on an operation panel of a fax machine, a multifunction machine, or the like. There is a scroll bar 410 on the right side of the display screen 400. Within the scroll bar 410, there are an upper scroll arrow 430, a lower scroll arrow 440, a scroll box 420, a scroll bar rail (upper) 422, and a scroll bar rail (lower) 424. is there.
When there is an operation to move the scroll box 420 up and down (may be an operation to select the scroll arrow up 430, scroll arrow down 440, scroll bar rail (up) 422, scroll bar rail (down) 424) In accordance with the operation, the contents (address list) of the address book located on the left side of the scroll bar 410 are scrolled.
The length of the scroll box 420 (height in this example) is generally determined in proportion to the value of “the number of currently displayed lines” ÷ “the total number of lines”. In the example of FIG. 4, for example, five lines out of several thousand lines are displayed, so the length of the scroll box 420 is short. In this state, it is difficult to select the scroll box 420 itself, and the content of the scroll box 420 is greatly moved by the movement of the scroll box 420.

  FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the scroll bar 410 in the display screen 400 to be processed according to the present embodiment. This shows a case where a pinch-out operation is performed in the state of FIG. That is, a case is shown in which a finger is placed on the scroll bar rail (upper) 422 and the scroll bar rail (lower) 424 and the operation of enlarging the scroll bar rail (lower box) 424 is performed. In this case, the scroll box 420 is enlarged up and down like the scroll box 520. This indicates that the proportion of the currently displayed content in the area is larger than that in the case of FIG. As is clear from the example of FIG. 5, after an operation such as pinch-out is performed, a scroll bar different from the scroll bar 410 (for example, an enlarged scale scroll bar described in Patent Document 1) is displayed. I don't mean.

  FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram showing a processing example according to the present embodiment. The example of FIG. 6A shows the start position of pinch out (the position indicated by the finger 610a and the finger 620a). The example of FIG. 6B shows the end position of pinch out (the position as a result of spreading the fingers 610a and 620a, that is, the position pointed by the fingers 610b and 620b). In this example, it is assumed that the area 3 and the area 5 in the scroll bar 410 are doubled with the start position. In addition, after the pinch-out operation, the scroll box 420 is also enlarged like the scroll box 520.

FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram illustrating a processing example according to the present exemplary embodiment.
The example of FIG. 7A shows a variation distribution table 700 stored in the scroll area variation distribution storage module 130. The variation distribution table 700 has an area category column 710 and a variation column 720 in the scroll area. The area category column 710 in the scroll area stores identification information of an area that can uniquely identify the area in the scroll bar 410 in the present embodiment. The variation column 720 stores a variation rate corresponding to the area. The variation distribution table 700 shown in the example of FIG. 7A shows a state before the pinch out is performed (the state of FIG. 6A). That is, it shows that all the regions in the scroll bar 410 have the same variation rate (1.0), and if an operation for moving the scroll box 420 is performed in this state, the movement is adjusted accordingly. A predetermined amount of movement is performed. The amount of movement is the same in all areas.

  The example of FIG. 7B shows the variation distribution table 700 after the pinch out is performed (the state of FIG. 6B). Since the area 3 to the area 5 is doubled by pinch-out, it is 1.0 to 0.5. That is, the scroll amount is ½ compared to the scroll amount due to the movement of the scroll box in the state of FIG. Then, between the region 1 and the region 2 and between the region 6 and the region 10, a value 1.21 (the remaining amount of the amount expressed between the region 3 and the region 5 is equally divided by the number of regions. = ((10−0.5 × 3) / 7)). That is, the scroll amount is 1.21 times as much as the scroll amount due to the movement of the scroll box in the state of FIG. Note that, in the pinch-out, this variation rate indicates the enlargement ratio inside the region (between the region 3 and the region 5) and outside the region (between the region 1 and the region 2 and between the region 6 and the region 10). ) Indicates the reduction rate.

  FIG. 8 shows a graph example of the variation rate curve for each region in the scroll area. The dotted line graph shows the state before the pinch out operation. The solid line graph shows after the pinch out operation. That is, before the pinch-out operation, the scroll amount of the content accompanying the movement of the scroll box is constant in all the areas in the scroll bar, but after the pinch-out operation, the scroll box in the area 3 to the area 5 is changed. The scroll amount associated with the movement becomes moderate (see region 810 in FIG. 8), and the scroll amount increases in other regions. For example, in order to make it possible to finely adjust the scroll amount in a region where there are many items to be displayed (between region 3 and region 5), the region is pinched out. In particular, a pinch-out operation is performed to enable an enlarged operation even when the scroll bar is short. That is, when the pinch-out operation is performed, the area of the scroll bar in the necessary area is substantially increased.

  A hardware configuration example of the information processing apparatus according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
