Patent number: 11933644Abstract: A touch detecting apparatus includes an electrostatic sensor provided on an object; and a processor configured to detect whether a hand touches the object based on a capacitance measured by the electrostatic sensor. The processor is configured to, in response to the capacitance being greater than or equal to a first touch threshold, detect that the hand touches the object, and, for a second predetermined time from when a change amount of the capacitance during a first predetermined time becomes greater than or equal to a noise threshold, continue a state where a correction value has been added to the first touch threshold.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2022Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: ALPS ALPINE CO., LTD.Inventors: Shinichi Endo, Hiroki Nagakusa, Ryo Komatsu, Sho Taguchi, Daisuke Washio
