TOUCH PANEL INPUT DEVICE AND PROCESSING EXECUTION METHOD
First Claim
1. A touch panel input device for controlling processing corresponding to an operation key displayed on a touch panel screen, in response to touching or pressing of the operation key, comprising:
- a multiple key press detection unit for detecting that a plurality of operation keys are multiply pressed;
a first processing execution control unit for controlling, if the plurality of operation keys were multiply pressed, execution of processing corresponding to at least one of the plurality of operation keys multiply pressed;
a waiting unit configured to set a standby state that waits until a user makes a selection instruction corresponding to at least one of the plurality of operation keys multiply pressed;
a selection instruction accepting unit for accepting the selection instruction if the waiting unit has set the standby state; and
a second processing execution control unit for controlling, if the selection instruction accepting unit accepts the selection instruction, execution of processing selected based on the selection instruction from among processing corresponding to the plurality of operation keys multiply pressed.

Abstract
A touch panel input device and a processing execution method eliminates wasteful operations of a user and increases user convenience. If a state determination unit (multiple key press detection unit) detects that multiple operation keys displayed on a touch panel screen were multiply pressed, an operation control unit (first processing execution control unit) controls execution of processing corresponding to any one of the plural operation keys. A waiting unit sets a state, which causes processing to wait for a user to make a selection instruction to select and execute processing corresponding to the other operation key. If the selection instruction is accepted, the operation control unit (second processing execution control unit) controls execution of processing corresponding to the selection instruction so as to select and execute the processing corresponding to the other operation key, following the multiple key press.

12. A processing execution method for controlling execution of processing corresponding to an operation key displayed on a touch panel screen in response to touch(press) of the operation key, comprising:
-
a first step of detecting that a plurality of operation keys displayed on the touch panel screen are multiply pressed; a second step of controlling, if it is detected that the plurality of operation keys were multiply pressed in the first step, execution of processing corresponding to at least one of the plurality of operation keys multiply pressed; a third step of setting a standby state for waiting until a user makes a selection instruction to select and execute processing corresponding to at least one of the plurality of operation keys multiply pressed; a fourth step of accepting the selection instruction if the standby state is set in the third step; and a fifth step of controlling, if the selection instruction is accepted in the fourth step, execution of processing selected based on the selection instruction from among processings corresponding to the plurality of operation keys multiply pressed. - View Dependent Claims (13)
