Alternatively, when the S2 determine that the current mode is a mode of a full shutdown, process returns immediately on stage S1.
The process of changing the display described above, runs until will not be disconnected power supply unit 1 image capture.
Figure 5 shows the algorithm illustrates this process to restore the display when the management of the first mapping that is described with reference to figure 3. The process to restore the display is performed to detect proximity relatively touchpad 16 and return the display mode in the established mode.
At the stage of S21 device 1 image capture determines detected whether a touch or proximity of the user's finger relative to the touch panel 16.
Process at the stage S21 executes repeatedly until not detect a touch or proximity of the user's finger. Then, when they find that the touch of the user's finger is detected at the stage of S21, the process continues at the stage of S22, where device 1 image capture performs a predefined process (tap), corresponding to the touch of a finger. After this, the process returns to step S21.
On the other hand, when the S21 determine that the proximity of the user's finger is detected, the process continues at the stage of S23, where device 1 image capture determines whether the current display mode block 17 display the established regime, the regime of low brightness mode or completely disable.
When on stage S23 determine that the current mode is established regime, the process returns to step S21.
On the other hand, when the S23 determine what the current display mode is the mode with low brightness mode or completely disable, the process continues at the stage of S24, where device 1 image capture changes the display mode of block 17 display at steady state. After the process at the stage of S24 the process returns to step S21 and process stages S21 then runs again.
The recovery process display described above, runs until will not be disconnected power supply unit 1 image capture.
Control the display of images in the second variant of the implementation of the
Next we will describe the second display, which is executed with a device 1 image capture (CPU 23), which is intended to control the display of images, according to the second variant of the implementation of the present invention.
Example of the display in managing the second display
Figure 6 shows examples of screens that are displayed on the touch screen 18 in accordance with the management of the second display, which is executed with a device 1 image capture.
In steady mode screen P11 photographing in standby mode is displayed on the touch screen 18. Screen P11 photographing in standby mode has the same configuration screen as the screen P1 photographing in standby mode, shown in figure 3.
In the case where a custom operation has not been executed within a predefined period of time in a mode in which the screen P11 photographing in standby mode is displayed on the touch screen 18, device 1 image capture changes the display mode with a steady-state mode to mode disable the buttons. In block 17 display off mode buttons screen is displayed P12 with disabled buttons, which removed the display of the operating buttons of PIP on screen P11 photographing in standby mode.
Then in the off mode, the buttons when they detect the proximity of the user's finger relative to the touch panel 16, device 1 image capture changes the display mode of block 17 display at steady state. That is, the device 1 image capture restores the display unit 17 on-screen display, P11 photographing in standby mode.
Control algorithm second display
Figure 7 depicts the algorithm illustrates the process of management of the second display, which is described with reference to figure 6.
First, at the stage of S41, device 1 image capture determines detected whether a touch or proximity of the user's finger relative to the touch panel 16.
When on stage S41 determine that the touch of the user's finger is detected, the process continues at the stage of S42, where device 1 image capture performs a predefined process (tap), corresponding to the touch of a finger. The process then returns to the stage S41.
On the other hand, when the S41 determine that the touch and the proximity of the user's finger is not found, the process continues at the stage of S43, where device 1 image capture determines whether a predefined period of time, during which there was performed a custom operation. In this case, as in the case of managing the first display a custom operation includes the operation of a surgical unit 24.
When on stage S43 determine that a preprogrammed period of time has expired, the process returns to step S41, and process at the stage S41 runs again.
On the other hand, when the S43 determine that a preprogrammed period of time has passed, during which the user is not done, the process continues at the stage of S44, where device 1 image capture determines whether the current display mode block 17 display set the mode or switch-off buttons.
When on stage S44 determine that the current mode is a mode disable the buttons, the process returns to step S41.
On the other hand, when the S44 determine that the current mode is established regime, the process continues at the stage of S45, where device 1 image capture changes the display mode of block 17 display on the switching state of buttons. That is, the device 1 image capture switches the screen P11 photographing the standby screen P12 with disabled buttons, which removed the display of the operating buttons of PIP. After the process at the stage of S45 the process returns to step S41, and then re-run the process stage S41. Processes at the stage of S41, stage S43, stage S45 the process of change that occurs when a custom operation is not performed in the process of managing the first display.
On the other hand, when the S41 determine that the proximity of the user's finger found, as described above, the process continues at the stage of S46, where device 1 image capture determines whether the current display mode block 17 display set the mode or switch-off buttons.
When on stage S46 determine that the current mode is established regime, the process returns to step S41.
On the other hand, when the S46 determine that the current mode is a mode disable the buttons, the process continues at the stage of S47, where device 1 image capture changes the display mode of block 17 display at steady state. More specifically, device 1 image capture changes the display screen P12 with disabled buttons, which displays the operating buttons of PIP removed, the screen P11 photographing in standby mode. After phase processes S47 the process returns to step S41, and then re-run the process stage S41. Processes at the stage of S41, stage S46 and stage S47 the process to restore the display detection operations vicinity, which is performed by the user, and return the display mode in the established mode.
The process described above, runs until the power is turned off device 1 image capture.
As described above, the CPU 23 device 1 image capture controls the mode touch pad 16 so that the first display mode is changed on the second mode in case, when the user's operation was not performed during a predefined period of time, and when the first mode is restored in the first mode, the display when it encounters a custom operation vicinity.
In the first variant of implementation described above, the first mode is settled regime and the second mode is equivalent to the low brightness or to the regime of complete separation. On the other hand, in the second variant of implementation of the first mode is settled regime and the second mode the mode disable the buttons. It should be noted that the finger user is a characteristic example of the purpose of detection, which detects proximity, and you can use palm or other dielectric object.
By managing the display image device 1 image capture, described above, even in case, when the user touches a touch screen 18, mode proximity to return in the established mode. Accordingly, you can do the easiest way to restore the display to the user, who does not recognize the operation to restore the display.
Additionally, if you select one of the operating buttons of PIP displayed in block 17 display mode proximity is entered before a touch of the touch screen 18. Therefore, according to the display image capture device 1 image tap to display or tap to select one of the operating buttons of PIP usually performed using two operations can be performed using a single transaction, and therefore increases the convenience and ease of use in the work. Accordingly, the mapping can be restored by easier for user operations.
It should be noted that although the description was given of a given screen in photo mode as an example of the above mentioned options for implementing, the same process control the display is on the screen in play mode.
Modification
Embodiments of the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned variants of implementation, and various modifications can be performed without deviation from the volume of the present invention.
For example, depending on the location (distance) of proximity, on which the finger user is approaching close to the touchpad 16, you can get not only the definition to also close to your finger user close the touch panel 16, but also recognition of the position (coordinates) of the user's finger in the position of proximity on the screen.
Therefore, device 1 image capture (CPU 23) allows you to discover a custom operation (gesture of drawing specific graphics using a finger in position and proximity to restore the display in the steady state, when the detected gesture is the same as a gesture registered in advance. Registration gesture, you can perform using the custom registration gesture or pre-registered (or pre-installed) gesture. This is effective in case, when a simple detection proximity causes excessive detection. Detection only the provisions of the proximity detection or gesture in the position of proximity as an operation to restore the display can be switched from one to another through configuration. In addition, a gesture which serves as the purpose of the display, you can register your device 1 image capture in advance, or the user can register a desired gesture.
It should be noted that in the case where the gesture in a position proximity detected as operation restore the display when the display is not restored from full shutdown even if the user performs a gesture in the position of proximity, the user may not recognize arose whether a complete shut-off due to battery discharge or due to improper gesture. To pay attention to this issue when detected proximity user, you can display a predefined GUIs, such as the cursor (display) sign or the character string "proximity detected". Accordingly, the user can easily recognize that the reason that the display has not been restored, is not that ended charge the battery, and in the wrong way.
