Operation display device, operation display method and tangible computer-readable recording medium

An operation display device, comprising:

• a display unit;
• a touch panel to simultaneously detect a plurality of touch operations including a plurality of operations which are each carried out with fingers sliding along a display surface of the display unit;
• a human body communication unit to obtain operator identification information for uniquely specifying an operator who contacts to the display surface with a finger, from a terminal device by communicating with the terminal device via a body of the operator;
• and
• a processor to control display contents of the display unit and to execute the following operations:
• when the plurality of operations carried out along the display surface are simultaneously detected by the touch panel, judging whether the plurality of operations are carried out by one operator or by a plurality of operators in accordance with the operator identification information obtained by the human body communication unit via the fingers with which the operations are carried out,
• determining whether the plurality of operations are a set of operations by one operator or are independent operations by each of the plurality of operators based on a result of the judging whether the plurality of operations are carried out by one operator or the plurality of operators, and
• performing a predetermined process depending on the set of operations by one operator or the independent operations by each of the plurality of operators.

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a program, wherein the program causes an information processing device comprising a display unit;

• a touch panel to simultaneously detect a plurality of touch operations including a plurality of operations which are each carried out with fingers sliding along a display surface of the display unit;
• and a finger shape detecting unit to detect a shape of a contact part of the finger, which contacts to the display surface in each of the touch operations, to execute:
• judging whether the plurality of operations are carried out by one operator or by a plurality of operators in accordance with the shape of the contact part of the finger relating to each operation, which is detected by the finger shape detecting unit, when the plurality of operations carried out along the display surface are simultaneously detected by the touch panel;
• determining whether the plurality of operations are a set of operations by one operator or are independent operations by each of the plurality of operators based on a result of the judging whether the plurality of operations are carried out by one operator or the plurality of operators;
• and
• performing a predetermined process depending on the set of operations by one operator or the independent operations by each of the plurality of operators.
