Abstract: An operation input device including: a first detection section including a first detection surface that detects a position at which a detection target is touching or within a predetermined distance, the first detection section outputting a first signal representing the position; an operation control section that controls a first operation target based on the first signal; an operation determination section that outputs a second signal only when it has determined that the detection target has moved along the first detection surface; and a switching control section that switches the operation control section between an operation enabled state in which control of the first operation target is enabled, and an operation prevented state in which control of the first operation target is prevented, the switching control section switching from the operation prevented state to the operation enabled state in a case in which the second signal has been received.

Abstract: A vehicle input device comprises an operation detection section configured to detect input to an onboard unit allocated to one operation section of plural of operation sections provided in a vicinity of a driving seat due to the one operation section being operated, a preliminary action detection section configured to detect a preliminary action directly prior to the one operation section being operated, and a notification section configured to notify an occupant of information relating to the onboard unit allocated to the one operation section in a case in which the preliminary action has been detected by the preliminary action detection section.

Abstract: An input accepting device includes a memory, and a processor coupled to the memory. In a case in which a detected value of electrostatic capacity detected by an electrostatic sensor is greater than or equal to a first threshold value, the processor accepts operation due to contact of an operator. In a case in which a state, in which the detected value of the electrostatic capacity detected by the electrostatic sensor is greater than or equal to a second threshold value, continues for a first time period, the processor determines that there is contact by the operator. In a case in which it is determined that there is contact by the operator, the processor sets the first threshold value to a value that is greater than or equal to the second threshold value based on the detected value detected by the electrostatic sensor.

Abstract: A method for evaluating operability of a completed appliance at a designing stage includes the steps of forming a function-operation correspondence table which includes functions that the completed appliance is supposed to have, operational parts to exert each of the functions, and a number of times each of the operational parts is actuated to exert each of the functions; finding a total number of times each of the operational parts is actuated to exert all the functions in a case where all the functions are selected one time each, by using the function-operation correspondence table; adding up all the total numbers of times; calculating a ratio of the number of times each of the operational parts is actuated to the total numbers of times all the operational parts are actuated to exert all the functions; finding unbalance of using frequencies among the operational parts, from the calculated ratio and the number of the operational parts; and evaluating the operability of the appliance, based on the unbalance f
