Abstract: In a first state before a first event is detected, a determination unit of a press detection apparatus prevents a definitive value from increasing steeply when the pressing force has increased steeply, and decreases the definitive value steeply when the pressing force has decreased steeply. In a second state after the first event is detected and before a second event is detected, the determination unit prevents the definitive value from increasing steeply when the pressing force has increased steeply, and prevents the definitive value from decreasing steeply when the pressing force has decreased steeply. This reduces the possibility that the definitive value increases steeply in the first state and increases and decreases steeply in the second state even under vibration.

Abstract: An input detection device performs a transition to a special mode in a case where application of a pressing force to a pressing detectable area is detected before a contact on a contact detectable area is detected, monitors whether or not a predetermined condition set in the special mode is satisfied in a case where a contact is detected after the transition to the special mode, and validates the detected contact when the predetermined condition is satisfied. Therefore, the input detection device does not validate the contact unless an intentional operation in which the contact is continuously made until the predetermined condition is satisfied is performed in a case where the contact is detected in a state in which application of a pressing force is detected.

Abstract: There are provided a first communication time ascertaining unit that ascertains with a ping command communication delay time in communication with a smartphone, a communication state determining unit that determines whether a communication state is satisfactory in the communication with the smartphone based on the ascertained communication delay time, and a communication switching unit that switches a communication channel used for the communication with the smartphone, from one communication channel to another communication channel when the communication state in the communication with the smartphone is determined to be unsatisfactory. Therefore, the switching of the communication channel is performed only when it is ascertained that the communication state with the smartphone is unsatisfactory.

Abstract: In determining a definitive value, if a measured value detected at one timing changes by an amount less than a reference amount from a definitive value generated at a timing one cycle before the one timing, a definitive-value determination unit of a press detection apparatus determines the measured value detected at the one timing as a definitive value at the one timing, and if the measured value detected at the one timing has changed by an amount equal to or more than the reference amount from the definitive value at the preceding timing, the definitive-value determination unit determines a value obtained by adding the reference amount to the definitive value at the preceding timing as a definitive value at the one timing. This allows a value in which the influence of vibration is limited to be used in a determination of a pressing operation.

Abstract: A pressing operation detection device includes a pressing operation determination unit determining whether a pressing operation has been performed based on a touch on an operation unit and a pressing amount, an increase-and-decrease frequency detection unit detecting occurrence frequency of increase and decrease of a pressing amount every predetermined period of time, and a determination controller changing content of the determination process of the pressing operation determination unit based on the occurrence frequency detected while a touch on the operation unit is not detected. When a pressing amount is detected although the operation unit is not touched, assuming that increase and decrease of the pressing amount is caused by vibration, content of the determination process is changed such that influence of the vibration is reduced so that detection of a pressing operation which brings a feeling of strangeness to the user which is caused by the vibration may be avoided.

Abstract: The present invention includes a touch time detection unit detecting a touch time on an operation unit and a determination controller changing content of a determination process to be performed by a pressing operation determination unit based on the touch time. Content of the determination process to be performed by the pressing operation determination unit based on a pressing amount is changed such that the ease of detection of a pressing operation when a pressing amount is instantaneously changed in a short period of time is changed based on a touch time so that false detection of a pressing operation caused by an instantaneous change of a pressing amount due to noise in a pressing operation of gradually increasing pressure is avoided and a case where a pressing operation of performing a strong press in a short period of time is not detected is avoided.
