Patent number: 9671893Abstract: The present invention aims at being able to prevent unintentional operation and to improve operating characteristics even if the entirety of a touch panel can be effectively used as a touch operating surface. Specifically, a touch control table that is a table storing thresholds set in accordance with regions on the touch screen is provided, and this touch control table has “Region” and “Threshold” as respective columns. A CPU detects a contact position and area of contact as contact states at the time of touch operation on the screen (touch screen) of a touch input display unit. The CPU identifies the touched region on the basis of the contact position, and thereafter compares the detected area of contact to the threshold set in accordance with the region. The CPU interprets the touch operation on the basis of the comparisons of the region.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2014Date of Patent: June 6, 2017Assignee: CASIO COMPUTER CO., LTD.Inventors: Masanori Tanimoto, Shigeki Uesaka

Patent number: 8610388Abstract: A controller outputting voltage instructions for drive control of an electric rotating machine adds, by using adders, position estimation voltage instructions for estimating the rotor position generated by a position estimation voltage generator, to drive voltage instructions, and outputs the resultant signals as voltage instructions. A position estimation device includes current extractors for extracting position estimation currents having the same frequency components as that of the position estimation voltage instructions, from electric rotating machine currents detected by a current detector, a position estimation current amplitude calculation section for calculating position estimation current amplitudes from the position estimation currents; and an estimation position calculation unit for calculating an estimated position of the electric rotating machine, based on the position estimation current amplitudes.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2009Date of Patent: December 17, 2013Assignee: Mitsubishi Electric CorporationInventors: Masato Ito, Yoshihiko Kimpara, Masanori Tanimoto
