Abstract: In an input apparatus, under a state where contact of a manipulating body to a predetermined position on a manipulation surface is detected, a second low frictional force between the manipulation surface and the manipulating body is provided by vibrating the manipulation surface. The second low frictional force is smaller than a frictional force between the manipulation surface and the manipulating body when the manipulation surface is not vibrated. In response to determining the movement of the manipulating body from the predetermined position towards a target position on the manipulation surface, a first low frictional force between the manipulation surface and the manipulating body is provided by a predetermined time by vibrating the manipulation surface. The first low frictional force is smaller than the second low frictional force.

Abstract: An input device includes: a detector configured to detect an operation state of an operation body on an operation surface; a controller configured to execute an input control with respect to a predetermined instrument in accordance with the operation state of the operation body; and a drive portion configured to vibrate the operation surface. A selection position of the operation buttons on a display is correlated to a coordinate position of the operation body on the operation surface. The drive portion generates a predetermined vibration on the operation surface for a predetermined period in response to determining that the selection position of the operation buttons on the display is changed from one operation button to another operation button.
