Patent number: 9983745Abstract: A touch sensor device includes an electrode, which is located at an inner side of a touch panel, and a control unit. The control unit detects a change in a capacitance generated at the electrode when a finger approaches the electrode to determine whether or not the touch panel has been touched from the change in the capacitance. The control unit detects a maximum capacitance generated at the electrode during detection of a touched state and set a first OFF determination threshold value, which is used to detect a non-touched state, to a value that is lower than the maximum capacitance by a predetermined value which is set in advance.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 2015Date of Patent: May 29, 2018Assignee: KABUSHIKI KAISHA TOKAI RIKA DENKI SEISAKUSHOInventors: Yoshifumi Yasue, Masaya Maeda, Yasuhiro Fujioka

Patent number: 9223428Abstract: A touch type input device includes a display capable of showing a plurality of icons. A detector detects touching of an operation surface. A controller moves operational coordinates on the display based on the detection of the detector. The controller selects one of the icons in accordance with a region in which the operational coordinates are located. Further, the controller moves the operational coordinates to a specified position in the region where the operational coordinates are located when a touch-release operation is performed indicating that the touching of the operation surface has been cancelled.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 2013Date of Patent: December 29, 2015Assignee: KABUSHIKI KAISHA TOKAI RIKA DENKI SEISAKUSHOInventors: Ayano Ito, Masahisa Doko, Satoshi Arikura, Yasuhiro Fujioka

Patent number: 7292228Abstract: A screen operating device having good operability is obtained. When a push switch is pressed via a sheet switch within a predetermined time from a finger touching the sheet switch, a click signal is received within a predetermined time from receipt of a touch signal. After receipt of this touch signal, if a click signal is received within a predetermined time, buttons other than a predetermined selection button 32 are not displayed on a screen of a monitor device 26, and processing corresponding to a label displayed on the selection button 32 is carried out. In this way, a specific processing, such as a processing having a high frequency of use or the like, can be carried out rapidly.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2001Date of Patent: November 6, 2007Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha Tokai-Rika-Denki-SeisakushoInventors: Chikao Nagasaka, Yoshimasa Kunimatsu, Yasuhiro Fujioka

Patent number: 7176899Abstract: In a state in which any one of selection buttons is selected (state in which a color is reversed), a touch panel in a controller is operated, and, the selected state of the selection button is released when an operation signal from the above controller is corresponding to a moving trajectory from a gray zone to another gray zone through a cancellation zone. Thereby, unnatural feeling at operation caused by distance between a finger position on the touch panel of the controller and a position of the selection button in the selected state is reduced or eliminated.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2003Date of Patent: February 13, 2007Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha Tokai-Rika-Denki-SeisakushoInventors: Chikao Nagasaka, Yoshimasa Kunimatsu, Yasuhiro Fujioka, Michimasa Ito

Patent number: 7010756Abstract: A display operating system which can freely set numbers of rows and columns in an arrangement of selection buttons displayed on a monitoring screen with immediate selection of a desired selection button being made possible. A position corresponding to that of a fingertip interrupting two of a plurality of light beams projected in a lattice on a panel of a controller at an intersection thereof is set as a first-touch position, on the basis of which an active area is established. This makes, of a plurality of selection buttons, selection buttons in the active area become selectable. Further, when the active area is changed by changing the first-touch position with a change in fingertip position to change light beams that are interrupted, selection buttons in the changed active area become selectable.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 2001Date of Patent: March 7, 2006Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha Tokai-Rika Denki-SeisakushoInventors: Chikao Nagasaka, Yasuhiro Fujioka, Hiroshi Kishi, Kouichi Masamura

Patent number: 4325426Abstract: An air conditioner system for sensing and controlling the temperature in the compartment of an automotive vehicle to an established desired temperature includes an over-correction means whereby the vehicle compartment temperature is temporarily increased to exceed the desired temperature and the temperature rise is terminated after the sensed temperature has attained or nearly attained the desired temperature. When the sensed temperature rises so that the difference between it and the desired temperature exceeds a reference value, the corresponding correction signal is generated and correction is applied repeatedly so as to make the difference less than the reference value and thereby to attain the desired compartment temperature.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 1980Date of Patent: April 20, 1982Assignees: Nippondenso Co., Ltd., Toyota Jidosha Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Fumio Otsuka, Teiichi Nabeta, Yasufumi Kojima, Takeo Matsushima, Yasuhiro Fujioka, Eiichi Wada
