The invention,

An example configuration of the device of input image

Figure 1 is a block diagram that illustrates the configuration of the device of the input image that serves as a vehicle for controlling the display of the image that matches one version to the implementation of this disclose the invention.

The device 1 enter the image shown in figure 1, includes modules: module 11 lens random access memory (RAM) 27.

Module 11 lens includes a camera lens, aperture, focusing the lens, and the like. On the optical path of the light from an object that (light) passes through 11 of the lens, is located item 12 of the input image, such as a sensor on the basis of the charge-coupled device (CCD).

In addition, CPU 15 digital signal processing is connected module 17 display and recording device 19. On displaying the image of the screen module 17 display is a touch panel 16. Touch panel 16 and module 17 display are touch screen 18. Module 17 display includes liquid crystal display (LCD) or the like.

Module 11 lens connected actuator 20, used to control the diaphragm, which is part of module 11 lens, and move the focusing lens, included with module 11 of the lens. Actuator 20 also connected actuator 21 of the motor. The 21 actuator motor controls the operation of the actuator 20.

The Central processing unit (CPU) 23 manages the entire unit 1 input image. Therefore, with the Central processor 23 joined: 13 processor analog signal, analog-to-digital Converter 14, processor, 15 digital signal processing, 21 actuator motor, timing generator (TG-generator) 22, operational module 24, electrically erasable programmable permanent memory (EEPROM) 25, permanent memory for programs (ROM programs) 26, random access memory (RAM) 27 and touch panel 16.

Touch panel 16, which represents, for example, electrostatic touchpad, detects tapping (touch), you perform on the touch panel 16, and displays the CPU 23 information about the place of touch on the touch panel 16. Also, the touchpad 16 might detect a user's finger, approaching the touch panel 16, within a pre-set distance from it (hereinafter referred to as, where appropriate, as "proximity"), in accordance with changes (level) electrostatic capacity, even though the finger user has not yet touched the touchpad 16. The distance within which the touchpad 16 might detect proximity, is the distance within approximately 20 mm from the screen. Within a distance of 10 mm can be recognized place on the touch panel 16, in which close finger. Note that the target object detection of contact or proximity with touch panel 16 is not limited by the user's finger, but can be detected and similar dielectric object. It is further assumed that you are detecting the user's finger.

The user can perform the operation "towing and the operation of the "fast flip", touching the touch panel 16 or holding a finger close to the touch panel 16. To detect this kind of operation the user can CPU 23 that receives a signal from the touch panel 16.

Operation "towing and the operation of "fast flip" are similar to each other in terms of operation conduct (planar motion, running a finger or some object on a plane which is parallel to the touch panel 16. However, the operation "towing and the operation of "fast flip" differ from each other by the fact that when performing the "pushback" the speed of the finger that pulls away (or which is about to move away from this plane is low (less than some predefined value), while performing operation "fast flip", which is a transaction, representing a sharp movement, the speed of the finger that pulls away (or which is about to move away from this plane, is high (exceeding a pre-set value). In other words, the operation "tow" is a transaction, containing a stop moving finger, which perform "holding," and move your finger up in the direction of the plane, which carried out while the operation "fast flip" is a transaction move a finger to perform "holding", in the transverse direction away from the plane, which carried out, while maintaining speed.

Recording device 19 formed removable recording media, including optical media, such as digital versatile disk (DVD), and semiconductor memory device such as a memory card. Recording device 19 writes the image (the image signal), obtained by means of the input image. Recording device 19 can be removed from the enclosure 1 input image.

The permanent storage 26 for programs store the program to be executed by the CPU 23, and data used for the execution of these programmes.

Random access memory 27, serves as a workspace, temporarily stores the programs and data that are used in the performance of the CPU 23 different processes.

Next is a brief overview of each function of the device 1 enter the image that has the configuration shown in figure 1.

CPU 23 manages the various modules that are part of unit 1 input image, executing programs written in the ROM 26 for the program. Then the CPU 23 performs pre-defined processes, including the process image input and process control the display of images on the module 17 display in accordance with the signal coming from the touch panel 16, or a signal from the operational module 24.

The user performs an operation on the operating module 24, the module sends a signal corresponding to this operation, CPU speed, 23. Operational module 24 includes, for example, the lever 41 change the focal length (TELEPHOTO/WIDE angle LENS) and click 42 optical shutter, which should be described with reference to figure 2.

When adjusting the actuator 20 in action 11 of the lens out of the enclosure 1 of the staff of the input image or slide into this case. In addition, when adjusting the actuator 20 is done aperture control, included with module 11 lens, and moves focusing lens, included with module 11 of the lens.

Timing generator 22 running CPU 23 delivers chronology signal to the item 12 of the input image. In accordance with roniroosid signal in item 12 of the input image adjusts the exposure time and the like.

Item 12 of image input is triggered in response to roniroosid the signal from breathalyser generator 22, so that to receive the light from an object that come through 11 of the lens, and perform photovoltaic conversion. Then the item 12 of the input image takes the analog signal of the image corresponding to the number of the received light, processor 13 analog signal. The actuator 21 of the electric motor drives the actuator 20 running CPU 23.

CPU 13 analog signal performs a process on the analog signal, such as the strengthening of the analog signal image coming under the control of the CPU from 23 item 12 of the input image. The resulting analog signal image is served from 13 processor analog analog-to-digital Converter 14.

Analog-to-digital Converter 14 performs analog-to-digital conversion on the analog signal image coming under the control of the Central processor 23 from 13 processor analog signal. The resulting digital image signal moves from analog to digital Converter 14-in CPU 15 digital signal processing.

CPU 15 digital signal processing makes the module 17 display to display the image corresponding to this digital image signal.

In addition, the processor 15 digital signal processing performs on digital image signal coming from analog to digital Converter 14, coding with compression in accordance with a pre-specified encoding and compression, such as how to compress JPEG (joint group of experts on native image processing). CPU 15 digital signal processing makes recording device 19 record digital image signal, which was subjected to encoding with compression.

CPU 15 digital signal processing also reads digital image signal, which was subjected to encode compressed, with a recording device 19 and performs decoding with the softening in accordance with the method of decoding with softening corresponding to the pre-set encoding compression. CPU 15 digital signal processing makes the module 17 display to display the image corresponding to this digital image signal.

In addition, the processor 15 digital signal processing generates running CPU 23 picture frame AF frame)used to perform the function of auto focus and image button menu and makes the module 17 display to display these images.

The image imposed by item 12 of the input image is displayed on the module 17 display. In this case, the auto focus frame is set on the image displayed on the module 17 display. In accordance with the image included in the frame autofocus, managed focus.

As described above, the phone 1 input image has function of auto focus. In addition, the phone 1 input image has the function of automatic exposure (AE function) and automatic white balance (AWB-function). These functions are implemented when reading and performing CPU 23 programs stored in the constant storage device 26 for programs. In addition, the function of auto focus, auto exposure and auto-white-balance adjustment are just examples of the features available in the phone 1 input image. Thus, the phone 1 input image has various functions related to photography.

On the touch screen 18 are in photo mode, intended for input of the image object, the image is displayed enter the item 12 of the input image, while in playback mode, designed to display the image, which was introduced (previously), it displays an image recorded in the recordable 19. In addition, on the touch screen 18 are displayed as graphical user interfaces (GUIs): button menu used for setting (changes) of the different elements of the settings of the machine 1 input image; button display a list that is used to display the list of images that have been saved; the delete button that is used to delete the displayed image; and button shooting mode is used to enter the photo mode.

Control the display of images in the first variant of the invention

Following are the first way to control the display, perform unit 1 input image (Central processor 23), which is a way to control the display of the image corresponding to the first variant the implementation of this disclose the invention.

In the phone 1 input image the image input, which is read from the recording device 19 and displayed on the module 17 display, can be "spun" by operation of touching and holding on the touch screen 18 user's finger operation "tow" and "fast flip") in playback mode. In addition, the phone 1 input image the image input, as in the case of the operation of the touch and "holding" on the touch screen 18, can be "spun" by the operation of the presentation of the user's finger close to the touch screen 18 and holding on the touch screen 18.

An example of the screen when you first way to control the display

Figure 3 shows the state in which the user's finger held close close touch screen 18 in playback mode.

The image input P1 appears in the center display the on-screen image in playback mode. Located on the left edge of the display area of the screen displays: button M1 menu button M2 the calendar display, button M3 list, click M4 "slide-show" mode slideshow) button M5 removal, and being with the right edge of the display area of the screen displays (like images): button M6 "General plan - zoom" button and M7 regime photography. When the finger user simply is brought close to the touch screen 18 displayed screen image will not change.

Figure 4 shows the displayed screen image in the condition in which the user's finger, carried close to the touch screen 18, as shown in figure 3, moves in the transverse direction (to the right) in the vicinity.

Machine 1 input image (CPU 23) detects the movement of the user's finger found in a position close to a certain length or more. Then in the phone 1 input image the image input P1, which is located in the center of the displayed screen image, "scrolls" in accordance with the movement of the finger. As shown in figure 4, in the "scrolling" entered image P1 right on the left side of the entered image P1 contains a part of the put image P2, subject to display the following.

Describe the mutual arrangement entered images P1 and P2. In the recordable 19 recorded many of the captured images, obtained by inputting an image made on the machine 1 input image. In the phone 1 input image entered the images are displayed one after the other in the direction of forward or backward in the pre-order, such as in order of date, in order of file name (alphanumeric characters) or the order in the recordable 19. The image input P2 is displayed after you entered image P1 in order of display of captured images in the direction of forward or backward.

Figure 5 shows the display screen image that is displayed after the user's finger moved further from the state, shown in figure 4, and moved from the touch screen is 18, while the travel speed is not reduced. Thus, figure 5 shows the display screen image that is displayed after the user's finger in a state of intimacy, performs an operation "fast flip" (operation "fast flip in a position close").

The device 1 enter the image determines the speed at a time when the finger user in a position close moves away from the touch screen 18. Because the speed equal to or greater than a pre-specified threshold, the phone 1 input image determines that the action "fast flip in a position close". After this the camera 1 input image displays all the image input P2, subject to the display in the following, which is displayed when the image input P1 "scrolls to the right, as shown in figure 4. Thus, the image input P1, shown in figure 3, entered is replaced by the image of P2. On the displayed screen image the image input P2 also "skipped" with "scroll right to put the image P1, and the image input P2 appears as animation "scroll" gradually from the right section of the entered image P2.

The block diagram of the algorithm first way to control the display

6 is a block diagram of the algorithm, illustrating the first way to control the display, described with reference to figure 3-5.

First, during S1, the phone 1 input image determines discovered whether a touch or proximity of the user's finger towards the touch panel 16.

The process at the stage S1 is repetitive way until, until it finds a touch or proximity of the user's finger. Then, in case when on the stage S1 determined that discovered the touch of the finger, the process proceeds to S2, on which the device 1 enter the image executes a predefined process (for "tapping")corresponding to the touch of a finger. After this, the process returns to step S1.

On the other hand, in case when it is determined that on stage S1 found the proximity of the user's finger, the process proceeds to S3, where the device 1 enter the image determines discovered whether a move of your finger with the condition vicinity. In case when it is determined that on stage S3 moving the finger is not found, the process returns to step S1.

On the other hand, in the case when the S4 determined that the finger moved from the first position of the proximity detection on some distance DS or more, the process moves to step S5 on which the device 1 input image "scrolls" the image input in accordance with the movement of the finger, found in a state of intimacy.

After that, the stage S6, the phone 1 input image determines postponed if the finger is found in a state of intimacy, from the screen. In case when on the stage S6 determined that the finger found in a state of intimacy, not moving away from the screen, the process returns to step S5 on which the image input "scrolls" in accordance with the movement of the finger.

On the other hand, in the case when the S6 determined that the finger found in a state of intimacy, moves away from the screen, the process proceeds to S7, on which the device 1 enter the image determines whether the latest speed of the finger (the speed just before the finger pulls away from the screen) equal to or greater than a pre-specified threshold TNA.

In case when on the stage S7 determined that the latest speed of the finger equal to or greater than a pre-specified threshold TNA, the process proceeds to S8, on which the device 1 enter the image determines that the operation is performed "fast flip in a position close", and animates "scroll" thus, to display the following entered the picture.

On the other hand, in the case when the S7 determined that the latest speed of the finger less than a pre-specified threshold TNA, the process moves to step S9 on which the device 1 enter the image determines whether the amount of movement of the finger from the first position detection proximity to the position in which the finger moves away from the screen, equal to, or greater than a pre-specified threshold THb. This determines whether the length of the moving finger from the first position detection proximity to the position in which the finger moves away from the screen, equal to, or greater than a pre-specified threshold THb.

In case when on the stage S9 determined that the sum of the moving finger equal to or greater than a pre-specified threshold THb, the process moves to step S10 on which the device 1 enter the image determines that the operation was performed "towing in a position close" and animates "scroll" thus, to display the following entered the picture.

On the other hand, in the case when the S9 determined that the sum of the moving finger less than a pre-specified threshold b, the process proceeds to S11 on which the device 1 enter the image animates "scroll" so that "scrolled" put the image was recovered in the center of the screen (the position before was launched operation "towing in a position close").

After the processes at the stages S8, S10 and S11, the process returns to the stages S1 and again performed the processes that follow the process at the stage S1.

The first process control the display described above is executed until then, until switched off the power supply unit 1 input image.

As described above, in accordance with the first way to control the display of truly disclose the invention, as in the case of operations touch, the user can display "scroll" of captured images, holding a finger close to the touch screen 18 and doing the "holding" (operation "tow" or the operation of the "fast flip"). In this case, because the finger is not in contact with touch screen 18, can be achieved a sense of ease when working. In addition, since the touchscreen 18't touch, the failure rate when the user works can be lowered and you can avoid the buildup of fingerprints and dirt due to operation of a touch.

Following are the second way to control the display, perform unit 1 input image (Central processor 23), which is a way to control the display of the image corresponding to the second variant of realization of the present disclosure of the invention. The second way to control the display in the phone 1 input images are obtained by adding a specific function in the first way to control the display described above.

In particular, in the case if the user runs the operation "save proximity", display the menu of operation, which differs from the operational menu the normal operation of towing in a position close and regular operation "fast flip in a position close". Operation "save proximity is a save operation of the state in which the user's finger is situated in a position near to a recording device 19 for a predefined period of time.

An example of the screen in the second way to control the display

Figure 7 shows an example display menu operation when detecting execution of operations "save proximity".

In the example shown in Fig.7, unlike menu normal operation of towing in a position close" and menus normal operation "fast flip in a position close" menu is displayed Q1 to go to put the image located on a hundred pictures in the front or back in a pre-specified manner, while performing the operation "fast flip in a position close". When the user performs an operation "fast flip in a position close to the right or to the left, after the "scroll", that is, after the execution of animation scroll bar appears put a picture on a hundred images in front of or behind in the pre-order.

Note that, although according to the contents menu in the example shown in Fig.7, the transition appears put a picture on a hundred images on the front or rear, the contents of the menu that is displayed when the operation "save proximity", can be defined appropriately. For example, you may see a move to put the image with date, preceding or subsequent relative to the image, or move to put the image, which is part of a different folder. Moreover, the user can select (define) menu to be displayed on the setup screen image.

The block diagram of the algorithm second way to control the display

Fig is a block diagram of the algorithm, illustrating the second way to control the display, perform unit 1 input image (Central processor 23).

As described above, the second way to control the display is obtained by adding new functions to the first way to control the display and is identical with the method shown in Fig.6, except for the part relating to additional features. To put it more specifically, the second way to control the display is the same with the method shown in Fig.6, except that added processes at the stage S25 and stage S26. Stages: stage S21 on stage S24 and stage S27 on stage S33 shown in Fig, correspond respectively stages: stage S1 on stage S4 and stage S5 on stage S11 shown in Fig.6. Therefore, descriptions, different from the descriptions of the processes associated with the newly-added stage S25 and stage S26, are omitted.

In case when on the stage S23 determined that the detected moving your finger in a position close, the process proceeds to S24. On the other hand, in the case when the S23 determined that moving the finger in a state of intimacy not found, the process proceeds to S25. In addition, also in case it is determined that the finger in a position close moved from position of the proximity detection, received in the beginning, for a pre-set distance DS or more, the process proceeds to S25. In particular, in cases when it is determined that the finger is essentially not moved from its initial position of the proximity detection, the process is running on the stage S25.

At the stage S25 device 1 enter the image determines, expire or after the first discovery proximity to some predefined interval (DT) time. In case when on the stage S25 is defined that after the first discovery proximity predefined interval (DT) time has not expired, the process returns to step S21.

On the other hand, in case when it is defined that after the first discovery proximity predefined interval (DT) time has expired, the process proceeds to S26 on which the device 1 enter the image executes the process menu display for status vicinity. After following the process menu display for status proximity, the process returns to step S21.

Now, with reference to a block diagram of the algorithm is shown in figure 9, will detail the process menu display for status proximity performed on stage S26.

After this the camera 1 input image determines the next state of the user's finger found in a state of intimacy. In particular, the phone 1 input image determines whether the finger found in a state of intimacy, in the state of touch, does he state proximity, or postponed.

In case when on the stage S52 determined that discovered the touch of the finger (the finger) found in a state of intimacy, the process proceeds to S53 on which the device 1 enter the image executes a predefined process (for "tapping")corresponding to the touch of a finger. After this, the process returns to step S21.

On the other hand, in the case when the S52 determined that the state of the proximity of the finger is saved, the process proceeds to S54 on which the device 1 enter the image determines moved if the finger from the first position detection proximity to the distance DS or more. In case when it is determined that the finger is not moved from the first position detection proximity to a pre-set distance DS or more, the process returns to step S52.

On the other hand, in the case when the S54 determined that the finger moved from the first position detection proximity to a pre-set distance DS or more, the process proceeds to S55, on which the device 1 input image "scrolls" the image input in accordance with the movement of the finger, found in a state of intimacy.

In particular, in processes at the stage S54 and stage S55 when discovered the proximity of the user's finger, a menu is displayed, and the finger moves, the image input "scrolls", as in the case of normal operation "towing" in a state of intimacy.

On the other hand, in the case when the S52 determined that the finger found in a state of intimacy, is postponed, the process proceeds to S56. After that, the stage S56, the phone 1 input image determines whether the latest speed of the finger (the speed just before the finger pulls away from the screen) equal to or greater than a pre-specified threshold TNA.
