Input apparatus and information processing system

Abstract

Provided is an input apparatus, including: a touch panel configured to receive input operation of at least selecting a medical image, the medical image being displayed on a display area of a display apparatus; and an operation input unit configured to receive spatial operation of the medical image as continuous input, the medical image being displayed on the display area.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An input apparatus, comprising:
 a touch panel configured to receive input operation of at least selecting a medical image, the medical image being displayed on a display area of a display apparatus; and   an operation input unit configured to receive spatial operation of the medical image as continuous input, the medical image being displayed on the display area.   
     
     
         2 . The input apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the operation input unit is configured to receive an instruction to change a display area of the medical image as the spatial operation of the medical image, the medical image being displayed on the display area, the instruction being at least one of instructions to zoom in/out, move, and rotate the medical image.   
     
     
         3 . The input apparatus according to  claim 2 , further comprising:
 a display unit spatially corresponding to the touch panel; and   a controller configured
 to display a set on the display unit, the set being a group of at least one medical image, 
 to display a low-resolution window on the display unit, the low-resolution window being a low-resolution image of a display area on the display apparatus, 
 to send an instruction to the display apparatus to call up a medical image on the display area of the display apparatus, the medical image being selected from the displayed set by a user via the touch panel, and 
 to display an image on the low-resolution window, the image being a low-resolution image of the medical image. 
   
     
     
         4 . The input apparatus according to  claim 3 , wherein
 the controller is configured
 to display, on the display unit, a thumbnailed medical image in the set, 
 to detect that a user flicks and taps the thumbnail displayed on the touch panel to thereby select the thumbnailed medical image, and 
 to display a medical image on the display unit, the medical image corresponding to the thumbnailed medical image. 
   
     
     
         5 . The input apparatus according to  claim 3 , further comprising:
 a case accommodating the touch panel, the operation input unit, and the display unit, wherein   the touch panel is arranged on one main surface side of the case, and   the input apparatus further comprises a touch pad, the touch pad being configured to receive at least selection of the medical image, the touch pad being arranged on a second main surface of the case, the second main surface being opposite to a first main surface, the touch panel being arranged on the first main surface.   
     
     
         6 . The input apparatus according to  claim 5 , wherein
 the controller is configured
 to recognize handwritten data, the data input in at least one of the touch panel and the touch pad, and 
 to reflect the recognized data in display on the display apparatus. 
   
     
     
         7 . The input apparatus according to  claim 6 , wherein
 the controller is configured
 to recognize the data as a numerical value, and 
 to divide the display area into a number, the number corresponding to the recognized numerical value. 
   
     
     
         8 . An information processing system, comprising:
 a display apparatus including a display area, a medical image being displayed on the display area; and   an input apparatus including
 a touch panel configured to receive input operation of at least selecting a medical image, the medical image being displayed on the display area, and 
 an operation input unit configured to receive spatial operation of the medical image as continuous input, the medical image being displayed on the display area.
