Abstract

A terminal device 100 recognizes a swipe operation from a user on a touch panel 120. A control unit 16 reads out information on the resolution from a storage unit 13. Additionally, the control unit 16 sets a threshold value Dth in accordance with a required movement distance Lth by which the swipe operation is determined to be valid. Specifically, the control unit 16 calculates the threshold value Dth by multiplying the required movement distance Lth by the resolution read out from the storage unit 13.

Claims

1. An information processing device configured to determine whether or not a swipe operation from a user on a touch panel is performed, comprising:

a first acquisition unit configured to acquire information on an inherent resolution of the information processing device; and

a setting unit configured to set a threshold value corresponding to a movement distance to be determined that the swipe operation is valid,

wherein the setting unit sets the threshold value based on the information on the resolution acquired by the first acquisition unit.

2. The information processing device according to claim 1,

wherein the first acquisition unit acquires the information on the resolution with respect to each of a vertical and a horizontal directions of the information processing device, and

wherein the setting unit sets the threshold value based on the information on the resolution in the direction corresponding to either the vertical direction or the horizontal direction where the touch panel is used.

3. The information processing device according to claim 1,

wherein the setting unit sets the threshold value so that the movement distance to be determined that the swipe operation is valid is within a predetermined range regardless of a type of the information processing device and/or whether the touch panel is used in the vertical direction or in the horizontal direction.

4. The information processing device according to claim 1,

wherein the first acquisition unit acquires information on a physical size of a screen and a pixel number thereof as the information on the resolution.

5. The information processing device according to claim 1, further comprising

a second acquisition unit configured to acquire information on a running speed of a moving body on which the information processing device is mounted,

wherein the setting unit determines the movement distance to be determined that the swipe operation is valid based on the information on the running speed while setting the threshold value based on the information on the resolution acquired by the first acquisition unit.

6. The information processing device according to claim 5,

wherein the setting unit determines the movement distance to be determined that the swipe operation is valid so that the higher the running speed is, the shorter the movement distance to be determined that the swipe operation is valid becomes.

12. The information processing device according to claim 2, wherein the setting unit sets the threshold value so that the movement distance to be determined that the swipe operation is valid is within a predetermined range regardless of a type of the information processing device and/or whether the touch panel is used in the vertical direction or in the horizontal direction.

13. The information processing device according to claim 2, wherein the first acquisition unit acquires information on a physical size of a screen and a pixel number thereof as the information on the resolution.

7. (canceled)

8. A control method executed by an information processing device which determines whether or not a swipe operation from a user on a touch panel is performed, comprising:

a first acquisition process for acquiring information on an inherent resolution of the information processing device; and

a setting process for setting a threshold value corresponding to a movement distance to be determined that the swipe operation is valid,

wherein in the setting process, the threshold value is set based on the information on the resolution acquired in the first acquisition process.

9. (canceled)

10. (canceled)

11. A control method executed by an information processing device which determines whether or not a swipe operation from a user on a touch panel is performed, comprising:

a first acquisition process for acquiring information on an inherent resolution of the information processing device;

a pixel number calculation process for calculating a pixel number corresponding to a movement amount of a contact area on the touch panel;

a movement distance calculation process for calculating a physical movement distance of the contact area from the pixel number based on the information on the resolution acquired by the acquisition unit; and

a determination process for determining that the swipe operation is performed when the movement distance is equal to or larger than a predetermined threshold value.
