Display control device
First Claim
1. A display control device incorporated into a monitor for controlling adjustment of a value of each set item displayed on the monitor and selection of a set item, said device comprising:
- a tablet key having a pressing region for outputting positional information corresponding to a pressed position on said pressing region, said pressed position being a result of one of a sliding operation and a pressing operation by a finger of a user;
detecting means for detecting, based on said positional information, whether the pressed position pressed on said pressing means has moved and, when it is detected that said pressed position has moved, generating movement information indicating an amount of change of said positional information, and for detecting whether the amount of change of said positional information is the result of one of said sliding operation and said pressing operation;
control means for controlling the adjustment of the value of said each set item and the selection of said set item from a menu screen of a plurality of set items, on the basis of said movement information when said detecting means detects that said pressed position has moved, or on the basis of said positional information when said detecting means detects that said pressed position has not moved;
a control key for outputting display on/off switching information for the menu screen of the plurality of set items on the basis of an input operation by a user, whereinsaid control means controls switching on/off the menu screen on the basis of said display on/off switching information; and
an enter key for outputting decision information on the basis of an input operation by a user, whereinsaid control means controls a decision processing on a current selected set item on the basis of said decision information.

Abstract
A monitor device capable of setting and adjusting various function items with an operation system having fewer number of keys and fitting an operation sense of a user. The movement of the cursor, and the change of the sound volume display and all kinds of adjustment values in a submenu can be performed with a tablet key which can be pressed and slide-operated with the result that almost all of the setting and adjustment on all kinds of functions of the monitor device can be performed with fewer required than keys of the conventional operation system.

8. A method of controlling adjustment of a value of each set item displayed on a monitor, comprising the steps of:
-
outputting positional information corresponding to a pressed position on a pressing region of a tablet key located on the monitor, said pressed position being a result of one of a sliding operation and a pressing operation by a finger of a user; detecting, based on the positional information from said step of outputting, whether the pressed position pressed on said pressing region has moved and, when it is detected that said pressed position has moved, generating movement information indicating an amount of change of said positional information, and detecting whether said amount of change of said positional information is the result of one of said sliding operation and said pressing operation; controlling the adjustment of the value of said each set item and the selection of said set item from a menu screen of a plurality of set items, on the basis of said movement information when said detecting means detects that said pressed position has moved or on the basis of said positional information when said detecting means detects that said pressed position has not moved; outputting display on/off switching information for the menu screen of the plurality of set items on the basis of an input operation by a user and controlling switching on/off the menu screen on the basis of said display on/off switching information; and outputting decision information on the basis of an input operation by a user and controlling a decision processing on a current selected set item on the basis of said decision information.
