Abstract

Provided is a display scene creation system that can cause a display scene to make a transition when a gesture is input to a touch panel, without a processing program that relates the touch panel to the gesture. A design of a display scene is set. One or more display components to be displayed in the set design of the display scene are set. A gesture with which the display scene makes a transition when the gesture is input to the set display components is set. A transition display scene table is provided that stores the set gesture and a post-transition display scene where the gesture and the post-transition display scene are associated with each other.

Claims

1. A display scene creation system comprising:

a display scene design setting section for setting a design of a display scene;

a display component setting section for setting one or more display components to be displayed in the design of the display scene set by the display scene design setting section;

a gesture setting section for setting a gesture with which the display scene makes a transition when the gesture is input to the display components set by the display component setting section; and

a transition display scene table for storing the gesture set by the gesture setting section and a post-transition display scene where the gesture and the post-transition display scene are associated with each other.

2. The display scene creation system according to claim 1, wherein the display component setting section sets a display component defined with a rectangular area indicated by coordinates present in the display scene.

3. The display scene creation system according to claim 1, wherein the display scene design setting section allocates one layer to each display scene so as to set the design of the display scene.

4. A display scene creation program that causes a computer to execute the steps of:

setting a design of a display scene;

setting one or more display components to be displayed in the design of the display scene set at the display scene design setting step;

setting a gesture with which the display scene makes a transition when the gesture is input to the display components set at the display component setting step; and

associating the gesture set at the gesture setting step with a post-transition display scene.

5. The display scene creation program according to claim 4, wherein, at the display component setting step, a display component defined with a rectangular area indicated by coordinates present in the display scene is set.

6. The display scene creation program according to claim 4, wherein, at the display scene design setting step, one layer is allocated to each display scene so that the design of the display scene is set.

7. A touch panel-equipped display system including a display device, and a touch panel having a detection area where a touch by a user is detected, the touch panel being provided all over a display area of the display device, the touch panel-equipped display system comprising:

a display control section that, when the touch panel detects a touch by a user on a display scene displayed in the display area of the display device, displays a post-transition display scene in the display area of the display device on the basis of a display component at which the touch by the user was detected and a gesture input with respect to the display component.

8. The touch panel-equipped display system according to claim 7,

wherein the display component is defined with a rectangular area indicated by coordinates in the display area of the display device, and

when the touch panel detects a touch by the user on the display scene displayed in the display area of the display device, in the case where both of a rectangular area where a coordinate sequence at which the touch by the user is detected is present, and a gesture indicated by the coordinate sequence in the rectangular area, match both of an area of the display component and a gesture associated with the area of the display component, respectively, the display control section causes a post-transition display scene to be displayed in the display area of the display device.

9. The touch panel-equipped display system according to claim 7, wherein the display device is a liquid crystal display device.

10. A driver side control module that is provided near a driver seat of a mobile object, the driver side control module comprising the touch panel-equipped display system according to claim 7.

11. A mobile object comprising the touch panel-equipped display system according to claim 7, wherein the display device is provided at a position visible at least from a driver seat.

12. The mobile object according to claim 11,

wherein the mobile object is an automobile, and

the touch panel-equipped display system is connected with electronic control units of respective sections of the automobile via a control area network.
