Abstract
An operation input device includes a display processing portion, a setting processing portion, and a notification processing portion. The display processing portion displays an operation icon made to correspond to a predetermined process on a display portion. The setting processing portion sets an operation restricting area in which a touch operation on the display portion is restricted. The notification processing portion notifies, by voice, the operation icon partially or completely overlapped with the operation restricting area set by the setting processing portion.
Claims10
An operation input device, comprising:
- a display;
- a shield detecting portion including a plurality of sensors configured to detect a shielded area in the display that is covered by a shielding object;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- display a plurality of operation icons made to correspond to a predetermined process on the display;
- set an operation restricting area in which a touch operation on the display portion is restricted;
- and
- notify, by voice, one or more of the plurality of operation icons partially or completely overlapped with the operation restricting area, wherein
- the processor sets the shielded area detected by the shield detecting portion as the operation restricting area, and
- when the operation restricting area is set, the processor notifies, by voice, the one or more of the plurality of operation icons partially or completely overlapped with the operation restricting area, and when there are two or more operation icons to be notified by voice, the processor notifies the two or more operation icons sequentially.
A notifying method, comprising:
- displaying a plurality of operation icons corresponding to a predetermined process on a display;
- detecting a shielded area in the display that is covered by a shielding object;
- setting an operation restricting area in which a touch operation on the display is restricted;
- and
- notifying, by voice, one or more of the plurality of operation icons partially or completely overlapped with the operation restricting area that is set, wherein
- the shielded area is set as the operation restricting area, and
- when the operation restricting area is set, the one or more of the plurality of operation icons partially or completely overlapped with the operation restricting area are notified by voice, and when there are two or more operation icons to be notified by voice, the two or more operation icons are notified sequentially.
A process executing method executed in an operation input device including a display, comprising:
- displaying a plurality of operation icons corresponding to a predetermined process on the display;
- detecting a shielded area in the display that is covered by a shielding object;
- setting an operation restricting area in which a touch operation on the display is restricted;
- notifying, by voice, one or more of the plurality of operation icons partially or completely overlapped with the operation restricting area that is set;
- executing a process in response to a touch operation on the one or more of the plurality of operation icons, the process corresponding to the one or more of the plurality of operation icons on which the touch operation is performed;
- and
- executing a process in response to an identification operation, different from the touch operation on the display, that identifies the one or more of the plurality of operation icons overlapped with the operation restricting area, the process corresponding to the one or more of the plurality of operation icons identified by the identification operation, wherein
- the shielded area is set as the operation restricting area, and
- when the operation restricting area is set, the one or more of the plurality of operation icons partially or completely overlapped with the operation restricting area are notified by voice, and when there are two or more operation icons to be notified by voice, the two or more operation icons are notified sequentially.
