Patent number: 10884517Abstract: An input device of the present disclosure includes an electrode sheet, a plurality of keys, and a controller. The electrode sheet directly senses a change in capacitance at a position where an object approaches when the object approaches the electrode sheet. The plurality of keys are depressibly disposed on the electrode sheet. The controller detects capacitance change amounts at a plurality of positions on the electrode sheet, outputs positional information indicating the position, among the plurality of positions, at which a capacitance change amount detected satisfies a first given condition, and outputs key information indicating a key among the plurality of keys corresponding to the position, among the plurality of positions, at which a capacitance change amount detected satisfies a second given condition.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2019Date of Patent: January 5, 2021Assignee: PANASONIC INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT CO., LTD.Inventor: Katsuya Shibata
