Abstract: An input device is characterized in that in a first stroke region in which an operation panel is pushed during a touch operation, a first reaction force that occurs by pushing the operation panel is generated by the first elastic portion. In a second stroke region including a stroke longer than in the first stroke region and a stroke for performing a push operation, a second reaction force that occurs by pushing the operation panel is a resultant force generated by a first elastic portion and the push switch. In the vicinity of a boundary between the first stroke region and the second stroke region, the amount of change in the first reaction force with respect to a stroke length is less than the amount of change in the second reaction force with respect to a stroke length.

When there is one main communication module for which the incident angle is known, the position of the portable device is estimated based on the incident angle and a received radio wave intensity of the signal. When there is no main communication module for which the incident angle is known, the position of the portable device is estimated based on the received radio wave intensity.

Abstract: A signal e(z) obtained by subtracting echo-canceling sound from an output of a second microphone is used as an error of an echo cancellation adaptive filter and a noise cancellation adaptive filter, and an output of a first sound source device is added to the signal e(z) and output from a first speaker. The echo cancellation adaptive filter generates echo-canceling sound from an addition signal of the output of the second sound source device and the output of the first microphone such that the signal e(z) is minimized. The noise cancellation adaptive filter generates the noise-canceling sound from the output of the first sound source device such that the signal e(z) is minimized, and outputs the noise-canceling sound from the second speaker.

Abstract: A speaker unit on the left side and a speaker unit on the right side are included in a case positioned behind a listener. Sound generation openings and bass-reflex ports are formed in the case on the left side and right side. From each sound generation opening, sound pressure generated forward by the relevant speaker unit is output. Each bass-reflex port communicates with an air chamber to which sound pressure behind the speaker unit is transmitted. With each sound generation opening, the opening dimension in the up-down direction is larger than the opening dimension in the horizontal direction. With each bass-reflex port, as well, the opening dimension in the up-down direction is larger than the opening dimension in the horizontal direction.
