- the image display device 10 further includes a communication interface 13 (hereinafter referred to as “communication I/F”) for external communication, and an image display 14 that displays an image.
- the image display device 10 may include a hard disk drive (HDD) or a flash memory serving as a storage unit.
- the HDD or the flash memory stores data input to the various types of software, data output from the various types of software, etc.
- the image display device 10 may further include an input device such as a keyboard or a mouse.
- the CPU 11 and the memory 12 may be considered as a controller that decides an image to be displayed on the image display 14 and that controls display of the decided image.
- FIG. 2 illustrates the image display 14 .
- the image display device 10 is illustrated as a so-called smartphone.
- a touch panel is adopted as the image display 14 . Therefore, the image display 14 includes a liquid crystal panel 141 serving as an example of a display, and a position detection section (not shown) that detects the position at which a contacting object contacts the liquid crystal panel 141 when the contacting object contacts the liquid crystal panel 141 .
- the contacting object is typically a user's finger or a stylus pen.
- the touch panel for use as the liquid crystal panel 141 is not specifically limited, and may be of a variety of types such as a resistance-film type and an electrostatic capacitance type.
- content may be displayed as an image in a predetermined region of the liquid crystal panel 141 .
- each page is displayed on the liquid crystal panel 141 , and the user views the image while switching images from page to page. That is, in the liquid crystal panel 141 , a part of the content is displayed as an image for each page in the predetermined region, and the image is switched so as to display the part of the content in a predetermined order.
- the content is electronic book data and the user views the content while switching images from page to page, for example.
- switching between images is performed by performing a flicking operation in a predetermined direction with a contacting object, such as a finger or a stylus pen, being kept in contact with the liquid crystal panel 141 . That is, the image displayed on the liquid crystal panel 141 is switched to another image when the user flicks the contacting object at a location at which the image is displayed on the liquid crystal panel 141 .
- a contacting object such as a finger or a stylus pen
- FIG. 2 a user's finger is shown as the contacting object, and an image P 1 is shown as the image currently being displayed.
- an image P 1 displayed around the center of the liquid crystal panel 141 is flicked leftward as shown in FIG. 2
- an image P 2 for the next page is moved to the center of the liquid crystal panel 141 to be displayed in place of the image P 1 .
- an image P 0 for the previous page is moved to the center of the liquid crystal panel 141 to be displayed in place of the image P 1 .
- the user may continuously view images by continuously performing flick operations to successively switch images. Viewing the content through such flick operations allows handling electronic data as if handling paper data, improving convenience for the user.
- a slide show function is generally known as a method to allow viewing content including image data such as photographs.
- preview images of the photographs are displayed on the liquid crystal panel 141 .
- the user performs an operation to start a slide show of the preview images being displayed. This causes switching between the preview images displayed on the liquid crystal panel 141 , allowing the user to successively view the photographs. If the switching speed is constant and not changed, however, preview images for which check is scarcely required may take considerable time. In the case where a larger number of photographs are to be viewed, in addition, the viewer may be at a loss because he/she does not know where the photograph being viewed is in the entire content, which may be inconvenient.
- FIG. 3 shows a first functional configuration example of a controller according to the exemplary embodiment.
- the controller includes a position acquisition section 21 , an image switch determination section 22 , a speed storage section 23 , an image switch measurement section 24 , and an image display controller 25 .
- the position acquisition section 21 acquires the position at which a contacting object such as a user's finger contacts the liquid crystal panel 141 (see FIG. 2 ) when the contacting object contacts the liquid crystal panel 141 . That is, as discussed above, the image display 14 is a touch panel, and includes a position detection section that detects the position at which the contacting object contacts the liquid crystal panel 141 . Therefore, the position acquisition section 21 may acquire the position at which the contacting object contacts the liquid crystal panel 141 from the position detection section.
- the image switch determination section 22 determines whether or not to switch the image displayed on the liquid crystal panel 141 in accordance with variations in position acquired by the position acquisition section 21 (which may also be referred to as “position detected by the position detection section”). That is, the image switch determination section 22 determines whether or not an operation performed on the liquid crystal panel 141 by the contacting object is a flick operation. In the case where the user performs a flick operation, the image switch determination section 22 determines the direction in which the position at which the contacting object contacts the liquid crystal panel 141 is moved, and determines whether the image is switched to an image for the previous page or an image for the next page.
- the speed storage section 23 stores the image switching speed in the case where the image switch determination section 22 determines to switch the currently displayed image to another image.
- the image switch measurement section 24 counts the number of times switching between images is performed by performing flick operations by the user.
- the image switch measurement section 24 counts the number of flick operations performed continuously. In the case where a different operation is performed in between the flick operations, the number of flick operations counted is reset to “0”.
- the image display controller 25 acquires from the image switch measurement section 24 the number of flick operations continuously performed by the user. When flick operations are performed continuously a predetermined number of times or more, that is, the image is continuously switched a predetermined number of times or more, switching between subsequent images is continuously performed on the basis of the speed stored in the speed storage section 23 . That is, in the case where the user continuously performs a predetermined number of flick operations or more, the image displayed on the liquid crystal panel 141 is automatically switched. The image display controller 25 switches images at the speed stored in the speed storage section 23 .
- FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating operation of the controller shown in FIG. 3 .
- the position detection section of the image display 14 detects the position of contact.
- the position acquisition section 21 of the controller acquires the position of contact from the position detection section (step 101 ).
- the image switch determination section 22 determines whether or not an operation performed by the contacting object at a location on the liquid crystal panel 141 at which the image described above is displayed is a flick operation (step 102 ). In the case where the image switch determination section 22 determines that a flick operation is performed (Yes in step 102 ), it is determined in the exemplary embodiment that the operation is an operation performed by the user to switch images. It is determined whether the user desires to switch the image to an image for the previous page or an image for the next page in accordance with whether a leftward flick operation or a rightward flick operation is performed. That is, in the case where a leftward flick operation is performed, it is determined that the user desires to switch the image to an image for the next page.
- the speed storage section 23 stores the speed at which the flick operation is performed (step 103 ). Specifically, when the user performs the flick operation, the position of contact acquired by the position acquisition section 21 is moved. The speed at which the flick operation is performed may be calculated, for example, based on how much distance the contacting object is moved over a predetermined time period.
- the image switch measurement section 24 adds “1” to the number of flick operations performed by the user (step 104 ).
- the initial value of the number of flick operations counted by the image switch measurement section 24 is “0”.
- the image switch measurement section 24 counts number of flick operations performed continuously. Therefore, in the case where a different operation is performed in between the flick operations, the number of flick operations counted is reset to the initial value “0”.
- the image switch measurement section 24 determines whether or not the number of flick operations counted has reached a predetermined value (step 105 ).
- the image display controller 25 switches the image displayed on the liquid crystal panel 141 to an image for the next page or an image for the previous page in accordance with the results of the determination performed by the image switch determination section 22 (step 106 ). After that, the process returns to step 101 .
- the image display controller 25 automatically switches subsequent images (step 107 ).
- the switching speed used at this time is decided on the basis of the speed stored in the speed storage section 23 .
- the first three switches between images are performed by the user by performing flick operations. That is, images are switched manually.
- the fourth and subsequent switches between images are automatically performed by the image display controller 25 on the basis of the speed stored in the speed storage section 23 .
- switches between images are performed according to the settings described above as follows:
- the image switch determination section 22 determines whether or not the user has performed a predetermined operation to stop operation of switching between images (step 108 ).
- the stop operation may be an operation to tap at a location at which an image is to be displayed, for example.
- the image display controller 25 stops operation to switch images (step 109 ). This allows the user, for example, to check the content at the location of the stop. In addition, displaying the image as enlarged at the location of the stop may make it further easier for the user to check the content.
- the image switch determination section 22 determines whether or not the user has performed an additional flick operation (step 110 ).
- the speed storage section 23 additionally stores the speed at which the additional flick operation is performed (step 111 ).
- the image display controller 25 switches subsequent images at the speed stored in the speed storage section 23 (step 112 ).
- the speed storage section 23 additionally stores the image switching speed, and the image display controller 25 switches subsequent images at the speed additionally stored in the speed storage section 23 .
- the process returns to step 108 .
- the process also returns to step 108 .
- a speedometer 141 a may be displayed on the liquid crystal panel 141 as shown in FIG. 5 , and a button 141 b provided in the speedometer 141 a to indicate the switching speed may be operated to change the image switching speed.
- a flick operation is used as an example of an operation performed by the user to switch the image displayed on the liquid crystal panel 141 .
- the exemplary embodiment is not limited thereto.
- a different operation such as a drag operation may also be used.
- FIG. 6 shows a second functional configuration example of a controller according to an exemplary embodiment.
- the controller includes a position acquisition section 21 , an image switch determination section 22 , a speed storage section 23 , an image switch measurement section 24 , an image display controller 25 , a demarcation determination section 26 , a demarcation storage section 27 , and a time measurement section 28 .
- the respective functions of the position acquisition section 21 , the image switch determination section 22 , the speed storage section 23 , and the image switch measurement section 24 are the same as the functions of those in FIG. 3 , and thus are not described here.
- the demarcation determination section 26 determines a demarcation portion in the content in accordance with predetermined demarcation conditions.
- the demarcation conditions may be set in accordance with document size, color/monochrome mode, double-sided/single-sided printing, document direction (portrait/landscape), font, number of pages to be printed on a single page (number of pages for N-Up printing), destination tray for paper ejection, and document reading location (platen glass/auto document feeder (ADF)), and may be set to indicate a point of change between folders containing the data to be printed, for each predetermined page, to indicate a case where the recognition ratio of optical character recognition (OCR) is low, to indicate a case where the document is upside down, etc.

- the demarcation conditions may be set in accordance with date and time of capture (month, week, and time), to indicate a point of change between folders containing the photograph data, to indicate a point of change between cameras used to capture the photograph, etc.
- the image display controller 25 continuously switches subsequent images on the basis of the speed stored in the speed storage section 23 when the image is continuously switched a predetermined number of times or more as discussed above.
- information on the demarcation portion determined by the demarcation determination section 26 is additionally displayed on the liquid crystal panel 141 . That is, in the case where the image to be displayed is a page matching the demarcation conditions determined by the demarcation determination section 26 , the content of the demarcation conditions etc. is displayed on the liquid crystal panel 141 . In the second exemplary embodiment, such information is displayed through a pop-up indication.
- the demarcation storage section 27 stores information on the demarcation portion determined by the demarcation determination section 26 .
- the information on the demarcation portion is stored as history information as discussed later in detail.
- the time measurement section 28 measures the time since the pop-up indication is started as discussed later in detail. When a predetermined time elapses, the image display controller 25 hides the pop-up indication.
- FIG. 7 illustrates a case where information on a demarcation portion is displayed through a pop-up indication.
- a “name list B” document is currently displayed as page 4 on the liquid crystal panel 141 . If the “name list B” document falls on a point of change between folders, such information is indicated by a pop-up 141 c saying “‘NAME LIST B’ ON PAGE 4 AND SUBSEQUENT DOCUMENTS ARE DOCUMENTS FROM xx FOLDER”. This may inform the user that page 4 being displayed corresponds to a demarcation portion and that the demarcation portion corresponds to a shift between folders, in addition to informing the user of the name of the folder. Display of the pop-up 141 c allows the user to recognize that the corresponding portion needs attention for some reason.
- the pop-up 141 c is displayed for a predetermined time, and thereafter hidden. However, information displayed through a pop-up indication is stored to enable the user to check the information later as history information.
- a history check button 141 d is provided at the upper right of the liquid crystal panel 141 .
- a history list such as that shown in FIG. 8 is displayed on the liquid crystal panel 141 .
- the page number (indicated as “PAGE”) of each demarcation portion, the title of each document, and information on each demarcation portion (indicated as “DESCRIPTION”) are displayed in a list in the order of pages.
- an image for viewing the content and an image of the pop-up 141 c are displayed separately. Therefore, the user can be informed of a demarcation portion in the content without reducing the image switching speed. Because a page corresponding to a demarcation portion may be viewed with switching between images stopped by tapping on the pop-up 141 c, the user is allowed to take his/her time to check an item that he/she desires to check. When the user determines that it is not necessary to check the information, the pop-up indication may be ignored. Hence, the user may view the content without wasting time.
- content stored in plural folders may be collectively displayed for a preview, for example.
- Such a configuration may be used to roughly check a large amount of information, for example.
- the user may be informed of a page corresponding to a demarcation portion. This allows the user to find what part of the entire content he/she is currently viewing.
- Providing the history check button 141 d etc. allows the user to find a demarcation portion in the content even while viewing the content, facilitating a search etc.

First, the configuration and the operation of a first exemplary embodiment will be described in detail.
-
FIG. 1 shows the hardware configuration of an image display device according to an exemplary embodiment. - An
image display device 10 according to the exemplary embodiment is a computer device such as a smartphone, a tablet, a cellular phone, or a personal computer (PC), for example. - As shown in
FIG. 1 , theimage display device 10 includes a central processing unit (CPU) 11, and amemory 12 serving as a storage unit. TheCPU 11 executes various types of software such as an operating system (OS) and applications. Thememory 12 is a storage region in which the various types of software, data for execution of such software, etc., are stored. Theimage display device 10 further includes a communication interface 13 (hereinafter referred to as “communication I/F”) for external communication, and animage display 14 that displays an image. Theimage display device 10 may include a hard disk drive (HDD) or a flash memory serving as a storage unit. The HDD or the flash memory stores data input to the various types of software, data output from the various types of software, etc. Theimage display device 10 may further include an input device such as a keyboard or a mouse. TheCPU 11 and thememory 12 may be considered as a controller that decides an image to be displayed on theimage display 14 and that controls display of the decided image. -
FIG. 2 illustrates theimage display 14. - The
image display device 10 is illustrated as a so-called smartphone. A touch panel is adopted as theimage display 14. Therefore, theimage display 14 includes aliquid crystal panel 141 serving as an example of a display, and a position detection section (not shown) that detects the position at which a contacting object contacts theliquid crystal panel 141 when the contacting object contacts theliquid crystal panel 141. The contacting object is typically a user's finger or a stylus pen. In the exemplary embodiment, the touch panel for use as theliquid crystal panel 141 is not specifically limited, and may be of a variety of types such as a resistance-film type and an electrostatic capacitance type. - In the thus configured
image display device 10, content (information content) may be displayed as an image in a predetermined region of theliquid crystal panel 141. In the case where the content extends over plural pages (plural sheets), in general, each page is displayed on theliquid crystal panel 141, and the user views the image while switching images from page to page. That is, in theliquid crystal panel 141, a part of the content is displayed as an image for each page in the predetermined region, and the image is switched so as to display the part of the content in a predetermined order. This corresponds to a case where the content is electronic book data and the user views the content while switching images from page to page, for example. - In the
image display device 10 such as a smartphone shown inFIG. 2 , switching between images is performed by performing a flicking operation in a predetermined direction with a contacting object, such as a finger or a stylus pen, being kept in contact with theliquid crystal panel 141. That is, the image displayed on theliquid crystal panel 141 is switched to another image when the user flicks the contacting object at a location at which the image is displayed on theliquid crystal panel 141. - In
FIG. 2 , a user's finger is shown as the contacting object, and an image P1 is shown as the image currently being displayed. In this case, when the image P1 displayed around the center of theliquid crystal panel 141 is flicked leftward as shown inFIG. 2 , an image P2 for the next page is moved to the center of theliquid crystal panel 141 to be displayed in place of the image P1. Conversely, when the image P1 being displayed is flicked rightward, an image P0 for the previous page is moved to the center of theliquid crystal panel 141 to be displayed in place of the image P1. The user may continuously view images by continuously performing flick operations to successively switch images. Viewing the content through such flick operations allows handling electronic data as if handling paper data, improving convenience for the user. - If there are a large number of pages, however, it is necessary to repeat flick operations over and over while viewing the content on the
liquid crystal panel 141, which may be bothersome for the user. This may further increase the physical burden on the user. - A slide show function is generally known as a method to allow viewing content including image data such as photographs. When the slide show function is used, preview images of the photographs are displayed on the
liquid crystal panel 141. The user performs an operation to start a slide show of the preview images being displayed. This causes switching between the preview images displayed on theliquid crystal panel 141, allowing the user to successively view the photographs. If the switching speed is constant and not changed, however, preview images for which check is scarcely required may take considerable time. In the case where a larger number of photographs are to be viewed, in addition, the viewer may be at a loss because he/she does not know where the photograph being viewed is in the entire content, which may be inconvenient. - In the exemplary embodiment which is intended to address the foregoing issue, when the user continuously performs a predetermined number of flick operations or more, switching between subsequent pages is performed automatically as described below.
-
FIG. 3 shows a first functional configuration example of a controller according to the exemplary embodiment. - As shown in
FIG. 3 , the controller according to the exemplary embodiment includes aposition acquisition section 21, an imageswitch determination section 22, aspeed storage section 23, an imageswitch measurement section 24, and animage display controller 25. - The
position acquisition section 21 acquires the position at which a contacting object such as a user's finger contacts the liquid crystal panel 141 (seeFIG. 2 ) when the contacting object contacts theliquid crystal panel 141. That is, as discussed above, theimage display 14 is a touch panel, and includes a position detection section that detects the position at which the contacting object contacts theliquid crystal panel 141. Therefore, theposition acquisition section 21 may acquire the position at which the contacting object contacts theliquid crystal panel 141 from the position detection section. - The image
switch determination section 22 determines whether or not to switch the image displayed on theliquid crystal panel 141 in accordance with variations in position acquired by the position acquisition section 21 (which may also be referred to as “position detected by the position detection section”). That is, the imageswitch determination section 22 determines whether or not an operation performed on theliquid crystal panel 141 by the contacting object is a flick operation. In the case where the user performs a flick operation, the imageswitch determination section 22 determines the direction in which the position at which the contacting object contacts theliquid crystal panel 141 is moved, and determines whether the image is switched to an image for the previous page or an image for the next page. - The
speed storage section 23 stores the image switching speed in the case where the imageswitch determination section 22 determines to switch the currently displayed image to another image. - The image
switch measurement section 24 counts the number of times switching between images is performed by performing flick operations by the user. The imageswitch measurement section 24 counts the number of flick operations performed continuously. In the case where a different operation is performed in between the flick operations, the number of flick operations counted is reset to “0”. - The
image display controller 25 acquires from the imageswitch measurement section 24 the number of flick operations continuously performed by the user. When flick operations are performed continuously a predetermined number of times or more, that is, the image is continuously switched a predetermined number of times or more, switching between subsequent images is continuously performed on the basis of the speed stored in thespeed storage section 23. That is, in the case where the user continuously performs a predetermined number of flick operations or more, the image displayed on theliquid crystal panel 141 is automatically switched. Theimage display controller 25 switches images at the speed stored in thespeed storage section 23. -
FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating operation of the controller shown inFIG. 3 . - Operation of the controller according to the exemplary embodiment will be described below with reference to
FIGS. 3 and 4 . As a precondition for performing the following process, an image that may be switched by performing a leftward or rightward flick operation is displayed in advance on theliquid crystal panel 141. - First, when the contacting object, such as a user's finger, contacts the
liquid crystal panel 141 of theimage display 14, the position detection section of theimage display 14 detects the position of contact. Theposition acquisition section 21 of the controller acquires the position of contact from the position detection section (step 101). - Next, the image
switch determination section 22 determines whether or not an operation performed by the contacting object at a location on theliquid crystal panel 141 at which the image described above is displayed is a flick operation (step 102). In the case where the imageswitch determination section 22 determines that a flick operation is performed (Yes in step 102), it is determined in the exemplary embodiment that the operation is an operation performed by the user to switch images. It is determined whether the user desires to switch the image to an image for the previous page or an image for the next page in accordance with whether a leftward flick operation or a rightward flick operation is performed. That is, in the case where a leftward flick operation is performed, it is determined that the user desires to switch the image to an image for the next page. In the case where a rightward flick operation is performed, on the other hand, it is determined that the user desires to switch the image to an image for the previous page. In the case where the imageswitch determination section 22 determines that a flick operation is not performed (No in step 102), the process returns to step 101. - Next, the
speed storage section 23 stores the speed at which the flick operation is performed (step 103). Specifically, when the user performs the flick operation, the position of contact acquired by theposition acquisition section 21 is moved. The speed at which the flick operation is performed may be calculated, for example, based on how much distance the contacting object is moved over a predetermined time period. - Next, the image
switch measurement section 24 adds “1” to the number of flick operations performed by the user (step 104). The initial value of the number of flick operations counted by the imageswitch measurement section 24 is “0”. The imageswitch measurement section 24 counts number of flick operations performed continuously. Therefore, in the case where a different operation is performed in between the flick operations, the number of flick operations counted is reset to the initial value “0”. - The image
switch measurement section 24 determines whether or not the number of flick operations counted has reached a predetermined value (step 105). - In the case where the number of flick operations counted has not reached the predetermined value (No in step 105), the
image display controller 25 switches the image displayed on theliquid crystal panel 141 to an image for the next page or an image for the previous page in accordance with the results of the determination performed by the image switch determination section 22 (step 106). After that, the process returns to step 101. - In the case where the number of flick operations counted has reached the predetermined value (Yes in step 105), on the other hand, the
image display controller 25 automatically switches subsequent images (step 107). The switching speed used at this time is decided on the basis of the speed stored in thespeed storage section 23. - If settings are made to automatically switch images when the number of flick operations counted has reached three, for example, the first three switches between images are performed by the user by performing flick operations. That is, images are switched manually. The fourth and subsequent switches between images are automatically performed by the
image display controller 25 on the basis of the speed stored in thespeed storage section 23. - In the exemplary embodiment, for example, switches between images are performed according to the settings described above as follows:
- (First image switch (manual))
- (Second image switch (manual))
- (Third image switch (manual))
- (Fourth image switch (automatic, at the same switching speed as the speed of the first image switch))
- (Fifth image switch (automatic, at the same switching speed as the speed of the second image switch))
- (Sixth image switch (automatic, at the same switching speed as the speed of the third image switch))
- (Thereafter, the fourth to sixth image switches are repeated.)
- When the
image display controller 25 operates to automatically switch images, the imageswitch determination section 22 determines whether or not the user has performed a predetermined operation to stop operation of switching between images (step 108). The stop operation may be an operation to tap at a location at which an image is to be displayed, for example. - In the case where the image
switch determination section 22 determines that a stop operation has been performed (Yes in step 108), theimage display controller 25 stops operation to switch images (step 109). This allows the user, for example, to check the content at the location of the stop. In addition, displaying the image as enlarged at the location of the stop may make it further easier for the user to check the content. - In the case where the image
switch determination section 22 determines that a stop operation has not been performed (No in step 108), the imageswitch determination section 22 further determines whether or not the user has performed an additional flick operation (step 110). - In the case where the user has performed an additional flick operation (Yes in step 110), it is determined in the exemplary embodiment that the user has performed the operation for the purpose of changing the image switching speed. The
speed storage section 23 additionally stores the speed at which the additional flick operation is performed (step 111). Theimage display controller 25 switches subsequent images at the speed stored in the speed storage section 23 (step 112). In other words, in the case where the imageswitch determination section 22 determines to further switch the image displayed on theliquid crystal panel 141 when theimage display controller 25 is continuously switching the image, thespeed storage section 23 additionally stores the image switching speed, and theimage display controller 25 switches subsequent images at the speed additionally stored in thespeed storage section 23. After that, the process returns to step 108. In the case where the user has not performed an additional flick operation (No in step 110), the process also returns to step 108. - In the example discussed above, the user performs an additional flick operation to change the image switching speed when the
image display controller 25 operates to automatically switch images. However, the exemplary embodiment is not limited thereto. For example, aspeedometer 141 a may be displayed on theliquid crystal panel 141 as shown inFIG. 5 , and abutton 141 b provided in thespeedometer 141 a to indicate the switching speed may be operated to change the image switching speed. - In the example discussed above, a flick operation is used as an example of an operation performed by the user to switch the image displayed on the
liquid crystal panel 141. However, the exemplary embodiment is not limited thereto. A different operation such as a drag operation may also be used. -
FIG. 6 shows a second functional configuration example of a controller according to an exemplary embodiment. - As shown in
FIG. 6 , the controller according to the exemplary embodiment includes aposition acquisition section 21, an imageswitch determination section 22, aspeed storage section 23, an imageswitch measurement section 24, animage display controller 25, ademarcation determination section 26, ademarcation storage section 27, and atime measurement section 28. - The respective functions of the
position acquisition section 21, the imageswitch determination section 22, thespeed storage section 23, and the imageswitch measurement section 24 are the same as the functions of those inFIG. 3 , and thus are not described here. - The
demarcation determination section 26 determines a demarcation portion in the content in accordance with predetermined demarcation conditions. - In the case where the content to be displayed is a preview image of a document to be printed, for example, the demarcation conditions may be set in accordance with document size, color/monochrome mode, double-sided/single-sided printing, document direction (portrait/landscape), font, number of pages to be printed on a single page (number of pages for N-Up printing), destination tray for paper ejection, and document reading location (platen glass/auto document feeder (ADF)), and may be set to indicate a point of change between folders containing the data to be printed, for each predetermined page, to indicate a case where the recognition ratio of optical character recognition (OCR) is low, to indicate a case where the document is upside down, etc.
- In the case where the content to be displayed is a preview image of a photograph, the demarcation conditions may be set in accordance with date and time of capture (month, week, and time), to indicate a point of change between folders containing the photograph data, to indicate a point of change between cameras used to capture the photograph, etc.
- The
image display controller 25 continuously switches subsequent images on the basis of the speed stored in thespeed storage section 23 when the image is continuously switched a predetermined number of times or more as discussed above. In the second exemplary embodiment, further, information on the demarcation portion determined by thedemarcation determination section 26 is additionally displayed on theliquid crystal panel 141. That is, in the case where the image to be displayed is a page matching the demarcation conditions determined by thedemarcation determination section 26, the content of the demarcation conditions etc. is displayed on theliquid crystal panel 141. In the second exemplary embodiment, such information is displayed through a pop-up indication. - The
demarcation storage section 27 stores information on the demarcation portion determined by thedemarcation determination section 26. The information on the demarcation portion is stored as history information as discussed later in detail. - The
time measurement section 28 measures the time since the pop-up indication is started as discussed later in detail. When a predetermined time elapses, theimage display controller 25 hides the pop-up indication. -
FIG. 7 illustrates a case where information on a demarcation portion is displayed through a pop-up indication. - As shown in
FIG. 7 , a “name list B” document is currently displayed aspage 4 on theliquid crystal panel 141. If the “name list B” document falls on a point of change between folders, such information is indicated by a pop-up 141 c saying “‘NAME LIST B’ ONPAGE 4 AND SUBSEQUENT DOCUMENTS ARE DOCUMENTS FROM xx FOLDER”. This may inform the user thatpage 4 being displayed corresponds to a demarcation portion and that the demarcation portion corresponds to a shift between folders, in addition to informing the user of the name of the folder. Display of the pop-up 141 c allows the user to recognize that the corresponding portion needs attention for some reason. - When the user taps on the pop-
up 141 c, operation to automatically switch images is stopped, and an image for the page corresponding to the demarcation portion displayed through the pop-up 141 c is displayed on theliquid crystal panel 141. - The pop-
up 141 c is displayed for a predetermined time, and thereafter hidden. However, information displayed through a pop-up indication is stored to enable the user to check the information later as history information. In the example ofFIG. 7 , ahistory check button 141 d is provided at the upper right of theliquid crystal panel 141. When the user taps on thehistory check button 141 d, a history list such as that shown inFIG. 8 is displayed on theliquid crystal panel 141. InFIG. 8 , the page number (indicated as “PAGE”) of each demarcation portion, the title of each document, and information on each demarcation portion (indicated as “DESCRIPTION”) are displayed in a list in the order of pages. In the case where there is any item that the user desires to check, he/she taps on the relevant item on the screen shown inFIG. 8 . As a result, the image displayed on theliquid crystal panel 141 returns to the image shown inFIG. 7 , and an image for the page corresponding to the selected demarcation portion is displayed on theliquid crystal panel 141. - In the second exemplary embodiment described above, an image for viewing the content and an image of the pop-
up 141 c are displayed separately. Therefore, the user can be informed of a demarcation portion in the content without reducing the image switching speed. Because a page corresponding to a demarcation portion may be viewed with switching between images stopped by tapping on the pop-up 141 c, the user is allowed to take his/her time to check an item that he/she desires to check. When the user determines that it is not necessary to check the information, the pop-up indication may be ignored. Hence, the user may view the content without wasting time. - In the second exemplary embodiment, further, content stored in plural folders may be collectively displayed for a preview, for example. Such a configuration may be used to roughly check a large amount of information, for example. Further, the user may be informed of a page corresponding to a demarcation portion. This allows the user to find what part of the entire content he/she is currently viewing. Providing the
history check button 141 d etc. allows the user to find a demarcation portion in the content even while viewing the content, facilitating a search etc. -
FIG. 9 is a flowchart illustrating operation of the controller shown inFIG. 6 . - Operation of the controller according to the second exemplary embodiment will be described below with reference to
FIGS. 6 and 9 . - Step 201 to step 209 in
FIG. 9 are the same as step 101 to step 109 inFIG. 4 . Hence, subsequent operation of the controller will be described. - In the case where the image
switch determination section 22 determines that a stop operation has not been performed (No in step 208), thedemarcation determination section 26 determines whether or not a page displayed each time the image is switched matches predetermined demarcation conditions (step 210). When the page matches the demarcation conditions (Yes in step 210), information on a demarcation portion is displayed on theliquid crystal panel 141 by a predetermined method such as a pop-up indication (step 211). Thedemarcation storage section 27 stores information on the demarcation portion determined by the demarcation determination section 26 (step 212). - In the case where the page does not match the predetermined demarcation conditions (No in step 210), the process returns to step 208.
- The
time measurement section 28 measures the time since the pop-up indication is started to determine whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed (step 213). When a predetermined time has elapsed (Yes in step 213), theimage display controller 25 hides the pop-up 141 c (step 214). After that, the process returns to step 208. - When a predetermined time has not elapsed (No in step 213), it is determined whether or not the pop-
up 141 c has been tapped on (step 215). In the case where the pop-up 141 c has been tapped on (Yes in step 215), theimage display controller 25 has the page for the demarcation portion corresponding to the pop-up 141 c displayed in a stationary state (step 216). In the case where the pop-up 141 c has not been tapped on (No in step 215), the process returns to step 213. - In the example discussed above, information on a demarcation portion is displayed on the
liquid crystal panel 141 through the pop-up 141 c. However, the exemplary embodiment is not limited thereto. -
FIG. 10 illustrates another example in which information on a demarcation portion is displayed on theliquid crystal panel 141. - In the example shown in
FIG. 10 , images for the content corresponding to demarcation portions are displayed as a list in aregion 141 e that is different from a region in which images for content are displayed. The images for the content corresponding to the demarcation portions are displayed in the order of pages in a region above the region in which the images for the content are switchably displayed. In the example discussed above, the history list is not displayed on theliquid crystal panel 141 before thehistory check button 141 d is tapped on. In this exemplary embodiment, however, the history list is displayed as an image in theregion 141 e, improving convenience for the user. - In the case where there is any item that the user desires to check among the images for the content corresponding to the demarcation portions displayed in the
region 141 e, the user taps on the corresponding image. As a result, an image for the page corresponding to the selected demarcation portion is displayed on theliquid crystal panel 141. -
FIG. 11 shows a third functional configuration example of a controller according to an exemplary embodiment, showing a functional configuration example for implementing a function illustrated inFIG. 10 . - As shown in
FIG. 11 , the controller according to the third exemplary embodiment includes aposition acquisition section 21, an imageswitch determination section 22, aspeed storage section 23, an imageswitch measurement section 24, animage display controller 25, ademarcation determination section 26, and ademarcation storage section 27. - The respective functions of the
position acquisition section 21, the imageswitch determination section 22, thespeed storage section 23, the imageswitch measurement section 24, theimage display controller 25, thedemarcation determination section 26, and thedemarcation storage section 27 are the same as the functions of those inFIG. 6 , and thus are not described here. -
FIG. 12 is a flowchart illustrating operation of the controller shown inFIG. 11 . - Operation of the controller according to the third exemplary embodiment will be described below with reference to
FIGS. 11 and 12 . - Step 301 to step 309 in
FIG. 12 are the same as step 101 to step 109 inFIG. 4 . Hence, subsequent operation of the controller will be described. - In the case where the image
switch determination section 22 determines that a stop operation has not been performed (No in step 308), thedemarcation determination section 26 determines whether or not a page displayed each time the image is switched matches predetermined demarcation conditions (step 310). When the page matches the demarcation conditions (Yes in step 310), images for the content corresponding to demarcation portions are displayed as a list in theregion 141 e that is different from a region in which images for the content are displayed (step 311). Thedemarcation storage section 27 stores information on the demarcation portion determined by the demarcation determination section 26 (step 312). - Next, it is determined whether or not any of the images for the content displayed in the
region 141 e has been tapped on (step 313). In the case where an image has been tapped on (Yes in step 313), theimage display controller 25 has the page for the demarcation portion corresponding to the image displayed in a stationary state (step 314). In the case where any image displayed on theregion 141 e has not been tapped on (No in step 313), the process returns to step 308. In the case where the page does not match the predetermined demarcation conditions (No in step 310), the process returns to step 313. - In the examples discussed in detail above, the
image display device 10 such as a smartphone is described. However, the configurations discussed above may also be applied to other devices. For example, the configurations discussed above may be applied to an image forming device that forms an image on a recording medium and that outputs an image on a printing medium. The image forming device may be a device that provides only a printing function, or a device that additionally provides other image processing functions such as a scanner function, and a facsimile function. -
FIG. 13 shows a hardware configuration example of an image forming device according to an exemplary embodiment. - As shown in
FIG. 13 , an image forming device 30 includes aCPU 31, a random access memory (RAM) 32, a read only memory (ROM) 33, a hard disk drive (HDD) 34, anoperation panel 35, animage reading section 36, animage forming section 37, and a communication interface (hereinafter referred to as “communication I/F”) 38. - The
CPU 31 loads various types of programs stored in theROM 33 or the like into theRAM 32 to execute the programs to achieve various functions to be discussed later. - The
RAM 32 is a memory used as a working memory for theCPU 31, for example. - The
ROM 33 is a memory that stores the various types of programs, etc. to be executed by theCPU 31. - The
HDD 34 is a magnetic disk device, for example, that stores image data read by theimage reading section 36, image data for use in image formation performed by theimage forming section 37, etc. - The
operation panel 35 is a touch panel, for example. In the exemplary embodiment, theoperation panel 35 is provided as an example of an image display that displays information on the device. - The
image reading section 36 reads an image recorded on a recording medium such as paper. Theimage reading section 36 may be a scanner, for example, and may be of a CCD type in which light radiated from a light source and reflected by an original copy is contracted using a lens to be received by charge coupled devices (CCD), or a CIS type in which light sequentially radiated from a light emitting diode (LED) light source and reflected by an original copy is received by a contact image sensor (CIS). - The
image forming section 37 forms an image on a recording medium. Theimage forming section 37 may be a printer, for example, and may be of an electrophotographic system in which toner adhering to a photosensitive body is transferred onto a recording medium such as paper to form an image, or an inkjet type in which ink is ejected onto a recording medium to form an image. In the fourth exemplary embodiment, theimage forming section 37 is provided as an example of an image forming unit that forms an image on a recording medium. - The communication I/F 38 exchanges various information with other devices via a network.
- The
CPU 11 and thememory 12 used as a controller in theimage display device 10 correspond to theCPU 31, theRAM 32, theROM 33, and theHDD 34 in the image forming device 30 according to the fourth exemplary embodiment. Hence, such components may be referred to as a controller in the image forming device 30 according to the fourth exemplary embodiment. - The configuration discussed above for the
image display device 10 may be applied to an image displayed on theoperation panel 35. For example, theoperation panel 35 may display as a preview image a list of print jobs waiting to be printed by the image forming device 30 to allow the user to select one or more of the print jobs that he/she desires to print. In the case where the image forming device 30 has a facsimile function, further, theoperation panel 35 may display a list of facsimile transmission destinations to allow the user to select one or more of the facsimile transmission destinations that he/she desires to transmit a document via facsimile. - The controller configured as illustrated in
FIGS. 3 , 6, and 11 may also be considered as an image control device. In this case, the controller inFIGS. 3 , 6, and 11 may be considered as an image control device including aposition acquisition section 21, an imageswitch determination section 22, aspeed storage section 23, and animage display controller 25. Theposition acquisition section 21 acquires the position at which a predetermined contacting object contacts aliquid crystal panel 141. Theliquid crystal panel 141 displays a part of content as an image in a predetermined region, and switches the image to display the part of the content in a predetermined order. The imageswitch determination section 22 determines whether or not to switch the image displayed on theliquid crystal panel 141 in accordance with variations in position acquired by theposition acquisition section 21. Thespeed storage section 23 stores the speed at which the image is switched in the case where the imageswitch determination section 22 determines to switch the image. Theimage display controller 25 continuously switches subsequent images on the basis of the speed stored in thespeed storage section 23 when the image is continuously switched a predetermined number of times or more. - Further, the process performed by the controller in
FIGS. 3 , 6, and 11 may be implemented through cooperation between software and hardware resources. For example, the process may be performed by theCPU 11 by loading a program that implements the functions of the controller illustrated inFIG. 3 into thememory 12 to execute the program. - Hence, the program may be considered as a program including: acquiring the position at which a predetermined contacting object contacts a
liquid crystal panel 141 when the contacting object contacts theliquid crystal panel 141, theliquid crystal panel 141 being configured to display a part of content as an image in a predetermined region and to switch the image to display the part of the content in a predetermined order; determining whether or not to switch the image displayed on theliquid crystal panel 141 in accordance with variations in acquired position; storing the speed at which the image is switched in the case where it is determined to switch the image; and continuously switching subsequent images on the basis of the stored speed when the image is continuously switched a predetermined number of times or more. - The foregoing description of the exemplary embodiments of the present invention has been provided for the purposes of illustration and description. It is not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to the precise forms disclosed. Obviously, many modifications and variations will be apparent to practitioners skilled in the art. The embodiments were chosen and described in order to best explain the principles of the invention and its practical applications, thereby enabling others skilled in the art to understand the invention for various embodiments and with the various modifications as are suited to the particular use contemplated. It is intended that the scope of the invention be defined by the following claims and their equivalents.
