Map display control device and method for controlling operating feel aroused by map scrolling
First Claim
1. A map display control device comprising:
- a processor to execute a program; and
a memory to store the program which, when executed by the processor, performs processes of,acquiring map information,causing a touch panel to display a map based on said map information,acquiring information on an operation performed on said touch panel by a user,controlling a friction force or vibration imparted by said touch panel reactively to a touch by the user while performing the operation,scrolling said map in step with a scroll operation performed by the user to scroll said map displayed on said touch panel,determining a priority object having higher priority than other objects contained in said map, andadding directivity to the imparted friction force or vibration in regard to said scroll operation in such a manner that, in a case where said priority object is located outside said map displayed on said touch panel, a scroll operation for scrolling said map toward said priority object and a scroll operation for scrolling said map in any other direction arouse different magnitudes of the imparted friction force or vibration.

Abstract
In a map display apparatus, a display processor causes a display to display a map based on map information. A priority object setting unit determines a priority object having higher priority than other objects contained in the map. A scroll processor scrolls the map displayed on the display in step with a scroll operation performed by a user. In a case where the priority object is located outside the map displayed on the display, the operating feel controller adds directivity to an operating feel imparted to the scroll operation in such a manner that a scroll operation for scrolling the map toward the priority object and a scroll operation for scrolling the map in any other direction arouse different operating feels.

13. A map display control device comprising:
-
a processor to execute a program; and a memory to store the program which, when executed by the processor, performs processes of, acquiring map information, causing a display to display a map based on said map information, acquiring information on an operation performed by a user with an input device, controlling a reaction force, vibration, or friction force imparted to said input device while the user performs said operation, scrolling said map in step with a scroll operation performed by the user to scroll said map displayed on said display, determining a priority object having higher priority than other objects contained in said map, adding directivity to the imparted reaction force, vibration, or friction force in regard to said scroll operation in such a manner that, in a case where said priority object is located outside said map displayed on said display, a scroll operation for scrolling said map toward said priority object and a scroll operation for scrolling said map in any other direction arouse different magnitudes of the imparted reaction force, vibration or friction force, causing said display to display an operating feel control end icon while said processor adds directivity to the imparted reaction force, vibration, or friction force in regard to said scroll operation, and adding no directivity to the imparted reaction force, vibration or friction force in regard to said scroll operation once the user operates said operating feel control end icon. - View Dependent Claims (14)

16. A method for controlling an operating feel aroused by map scrolling in a map display control device, said method comprising:
-
displaying a map based on map information on a touch panel; determining a priority object having higher priority than other objects contained in said map; scrolling said map in step with a scroll operation performed on said touch panel by a user to scroll said map displayed on said touch panel; and adding directivity to a friction force or vibration imparted by said touch panel to a touch by the user while performing said scroll operation in such a manner that, in a case where said priority object is located outside said map displayed on said touch panel, a scroll operation for scrolling said map toward said priority object and a scroll operation for scrolling said map in any other direction arouse different magnitudes of the friction force or vibration.
