Patent number: 11003249Abstract: There is provided an input apparatus having a configuration simple enough to be compact and capable of presenting an operator with the same real feeling of pressing as the feeling of operating a push-button switch when the operator operates a pressing-type input unit. The input apparatus includes an input unit which accepts a pressure input; a load detection unit which detects a pressure load to the input unit; a vibration unit which vibrates the input unit; and a control unit which, when the pressure load detected by the load detection unit satisfies a predetermined criterion for accepting an input to the input unit, controls driving of the vibration unit so as to generate a floating force on a pressing object pressing the input unit.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2009Date of Patent: May 11, 2021Assignee: KYOCERA CorporationInventors: Tomotake Aono, Kaoru Tashiro, Yuta Shiokawa

Patent number: 9904363Abstract: An input apparatus has an input unit for receiving a pressure input, a load detection unit for detecting a pressure load on the input unit, a vibration unit for vibrating the input unit, and a control unit for controlling drive of the vibration unit such that a click sensation is provided to an object pressing the input unit when the pressure load detected by the load detection unit satisfies a predetermined standard for receiving an input to the input unit and for controlling drive of the vibration unit such that the click sensation is provided to the object, after the input to the input unit is received, when the pressure load detected by the load detection unit satisfies a standard lower than the predetermined standard for receiving the input to the input unit. Thereby, a realistic click sensation similar to that obtained when a push-button switch is operated is provided when an operator operates the input unit of a pressure type, which enables a continuous input operation without a feeling of strangeness.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2009Date of Patent: February 27, 2018Assignee: KYOCERA CORPORATIONInventors: Tomotake Aono, Yuta Shiokawa, Kaoru Tashiro
