摘要:
A variable capacitance unit is formed between one portion of a human body and an opposed electrode facing it through a casing of a robot toy (electronic device) when the one portion of the human body such as a hand or a finger approaches the surface of the casing of the robot. Since the capacitance of the variable capacitance unit varies according to the facing area and the facing distance of the one portion of the human body and the opposed electrode, it is possible to detect the one portion of the human body approaching or touching the robot toy by detecting this change. Since the opposed electrode forming the touch sensor can be provided within the casing, the touch sensor cannot be seen directly from the outside of the robot toy.

An input apparatus having a reduced-size electrostatic sensor that can precisely detect an input and then output a signal and, thus, has excellent responsiveness and reliability contains the following: clock signal generating means for generating clock signals; delaying means for generating delayed signals by delaying the signal rise time of the clock signal according to the capacitance detected when a human appendage approaches or contacts the electrostatic sensor; AND means for receiving the clock signal and the delayed signal as input signals and then outputting these signals as an output signal; and smoothing means for smoothing and outputting the output of the analog switch.

A USB controller is provided between a personal computer main unit and various devices. By providing the USB controller with a switch part for temporarily cutting a current flowing between the USB controller and the personal computer main unit, the circuit is connected or interrupted. With the configuration, when a new device is connected, by sequentially turning on and off a switch in the switch part, an operation similar to pull-out and insertion of a connector or resetting of a system can be executed, so that the newly connected device can be made usable immediately.

A coordinate input apparatus which performs an input operation with high precision by use of either an operator's finger or an input pen. The input apparatus includes a tablet having a plurality of X electrodes and Y electrodes arranged in the form of a matrix on the respective top and bottom surfaces of a glass substrate. The input apparatus also has a first oscillation circuit connected to the X electrodes through an analog switch. It is further provided with an input pen containing a second oscillation circuit. When the pen is used to perform the input operation through use of coordinates, the following method of determining the coordinates designated by the pen is employed. A voltage oscillating from the pen is applied to each electrode through capacitance, and the resulting output voltage varies depending on the distance from each electrode to the pen. Based on the varied output voltages, a predetermined computation process is executed to determine the coordinates designated by the pen. On the other hand, when the operator's finger is used to perform the input operation, the analog switch is switched to the first oscillation circuit. Then, a voltage at a predetermined frequency is sequentially applied to each of the X electrodes from the first oscillation circuit, and the voltage applied across the X and Y electrodes is changed due to a decrease in the capacitance therebetween caused by the touching of the finger. Based on this change, coordinates designated by the finger is detected.

The input device of the invention includes: a lower sheet on which four resistors are formed in a manner that each two of them with a center put in between are placed to face each other circumferentially with a spacing of about 90°; an upper sheet overlying the lower sheet with a spacing, on which conductors are formed to face the respective resistors; elastic bodies disposed over the upper sheet to face the respective conductors; and an operation member to retain upper parts of the elastic bodies. And, when the operation member is pressed downward, the elastic bodies are brought into contact with the resistors with interventions of the conductors on the upper sheet.
