Publication number: 20220305756Abstract: A material-like decorating sheet that forms a material pattern on a surface of a decoration target component by being attached to the surface of the decoration target component includes a sheet-shaped transparent base film, and a colored layer disposed on a back surface of the base film and forming the material pattern with one or more inks. The base film has, on an outer surface, an uneven portion that provides a texture corresponding to the material pattern. The colored layer has an uncolored pattern including a plurality of uncolored areas that are portions not colored with the one or more inks.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 14, 2022Publication date: September 29, 2022Inventors: Masanori YABUKI, Emi MIYASHITA, Hiroshi KOBAYASHI

Publication number: 20200050348Abstract: A first operation region 11 for providing a first tactile sensation and second operation regions 12_U and 12_D for providing a second tactile sensation are arranged adjacent to each other. when a detection unit 20 detects a slide operation from the first operation region 11 to the second operation region 12U or 12D, an operation control unit 30 outputs a second operation signal different from a first operation signal output depending on a movement distance of the slide operation on the first operation region 11. Therefore, the second operation signal is output when the degree of operation is not sufficient even by performing a slide operation within the first operation region 11, and the movement of the finger stops at a place where a change from the first tactile sensation to the second tactile sensation occurs. As a result, it is possible to allow a user to perform an operation of a degree of operation desired by the user without performing the slide operation several times.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 18, 2017Publication date: February 13, 2020Inventors: Masanori YABUKI, Masato YAMASHITA
