Abstract:
Provided is an input device that can reduce a magnetic attractive force generated between a coil-side yoke and magnets while suppressing the decrease in an operation reaction force that can be generated. The input device includes four coils arranged in a cross shape and a magnet assembly. When a current is applied to windings of the coils, electromagnetic forces are generated between the coils and the magnet assembly. In addition, the input device includes a coil-side yoke that is located opposite to the magnet assembly across the coils. The coil-side yoke is shaped so that magnetic fluxes generated by the magnet assembly are concentrated on winding portions of the windings of the coils, the winding portions being arranged along directions of a cross.
Abstract:
A touch panel type input device includes: a display unit that displays multiple input-enabled regions, on which a finger of a user is touchable; an input device that performs an input corresponding to one of the input-enabled regions when the finger touches the one of the input-enabled regions; and a first approach notification device that executes a first approach notification for notifying the user of an approach of the finger when the finger is disposed within a first predetermined distance from the one of the input-enabled regions without touching the display unit. The first approach notification device executes the first approach notification by vibrating a part of a compartment of a vehicle other than the input device.
Abstract:
A CPU of a control apparatus identifies a driver's manipulatable range, calculates compensation parameters, and sets the compensation parameters to be used for a compensation process. As a result, since the manipulation signal is compensated, e.g., to expand manipulation trajectories based on the driver's manipulatable range, a manipulation content can be recognized accurately.
