Abstract
A touch panel system includes a closeness detection section 102 for detecting whether or not a position pointing member is brought close to a touch panel, a coordinate calculation section 108 for calculating the coordinate value on the detection face when the position pointing member is brought close to the detection face, and a control unit 100 for displaying the setting of the current set function at a position of the detection face corresponding to the coordinate value if the closeness detection section 102 detects that the position pointing member is close to the detection face for a preset first time or more.
Claims16
A touch panel system, comprising:
- a detection face that is capable of making entry or position detection;
- a closeness detection section for detecting that a pointing member is brought close to said detection face;
- a coordinate calculation section for calculating the position coordinates of a point where the normal pulled down from the pointing member to said detection face and said detection face cross each other and its surrounding proximity when said closeness detection section detects that the pointing member is brought close to said detection face;
- a time count section for counting the time during which the pointing member stays within a predetermined range from said detection face if said closeness detection section detects that the pointing member is brought close to said detection face;
- and
- a control section for displaying an information menu at a position corresponding to the coordinate value calculated by said coordinate calculation section on said detection face or its proximity position if the time counted by said time count section exceeds a predetermined time.

- and
- a control section, when said closeness detection section detects that the pointing member is brought close to said detection face and subsequently does not detect that the pointing member is brought close to said detection face and again detects that the pointing member is brought close to said detection face, if the time counted by said time count section exceeds a predetermined time, said control section for displaying an information menu at a position corresponding to the coordinate value calculated by said coordinate calculation section on said detection face or its proximity position.
