Display apparatus
First Claim
1. Display apparatus comprising:
- means for receiving coordinate data indicative of a touch position located at a particular position on a touch input device, wherein touch operation of the input device corresponds to display of a button on the display apparatus;
means for displaying an “
on”
condition representing press operation of the operating surface;
means to perform a display operation corresponding to a button display portion on the display apparatus when “
on”
condition data is input to the in a state in which the input coordinate data corresponds to a button display portion of the display; and
means for invalidating input coordinate data and “
on”
data when the “
on”
data is input simultaneously with commencement of the input of the coordinate data.

Abstract
A display device is disposed in a car and a display screen is switched based upon coordinate data showing the touched position which is output from a touch tracer which is disposed where it can be accessed by a driver, and “on” data that shows that the touch tracer has been press-operated. The display device displays small button display portions to select a next display operation which is to be displayed on the map screen. The button display portions which are shown on the map screen in an input state of the coordinate data from the touch tracer are displayed in an expanded state. By so doing, the driver can easily confirm the display content of the button display portions so that it is possible to improve the operability of the touch tracer for the selection of the button display portions.

3. Display apparatus comprising:
-
means for receiving coordinate data indicative of a touch position located at a particular position on a touch input device, wherein touch operation of the input device corresponds to display of a button on the display apparatus;
means for displaying an “
on”
condition representing press operation of the operating surface;

4. A display apparatus, comprising:
-
a display panel member having a plurality of button display portions displayed on the display panel member at predetermined locations, each one of the plurality of button display portions representative of a different one of a plurality of functions;
an input pad device connected to and remote from the panel member and operative to input data, including “
on”
data, to the display panel member by touching a part of the input pad device corresponding to the predetermined location of a selected button display portion representative of a desired function; and
invalidation means for invalidating a selected function upon determination that the touching a part of the input pad device was an erroneous operation. - View Dependent Claims (5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

16. A display method comprising:
-
inputting into a display means coordinate data showing a touch position on an operating surface which is disposed at a specific position, and “
one”
data showing that the operating surface has been press operated,performing a display operation corresponding to a button display portion which is displayed on the display means when “
on”
data is input into a state in which the coordinate data corresponds to the button display portion, andinvalidating input coordinate data and “
on”
data when the “
on”
data is input simultaneously with commencement of the input of the coordinate data.- View Dependent Claims (17, 18)
further comprising the step of displaying the button display portion in an enlarged state which is displayed on the display means in an input state of the coordinate data. -
18. A display method as set forth in claim 16,
further comprising the step of enlarging the button display portion with respect to its size on the operating surface.
