Abstract:
An input device according to a mode of an embodiment includes a detection unit, at least one vibration element, and a vibration control unit. The detection unit detects a contact position of a user on an operation surface. The vibration element vibrates the operation surface. The vibration control unit controls the vibration element in such a manner that a vibration state of the vibration element becomes a first vibration state when the contact position detected by the detection unit is in a predetermined region and that a vibration state of the vibration element becomes a second vibration state different from the first vibration state when the contact position is outside the predetermined region.
Abstract:
An input device according to an embodiment includes an operation panel, a selection unit, a detector, a vibration element, a setting unit, and a vibration control unit. The selection unit selects a to-be-controlled object using the operation panel in accordance with the user's action. The detector detects touch operation on the operation panel. The vibration element vibrates the operation panel. The setting unit sets a vibration pattern of the vibration element appropriate to the touch operation detected by the detector, depending on the to-be-controlled object selected by the selection unit. The vibration control unit controls the vibration element to generate the vibration pattern set by the setting unit.
