  • Patent number: 11898372
    Abstract: An operating device includes a lock mechanism unit that regulates relative movement of an operating unit with respect to a supporting member, and a controller that releases locking of the lock mechanism unit when input of an operator is detected by an operation detector. When contact of a finger with a surface panel is detected by a first detection member, locking of the operating unit by the lock mechanism unit is released. In addition, when a pressing operation to the operating unit is detected by a second detection member, control is performed so that a response force providing mechanism operates.

  • Publication number: 20220254141
    Abstract: An image processing device includes a search scenario acquisition unit and a search unit. The search scenario acquisition unit acquires a search scenario in which one or more search processes of searching for an image using an image feature based on a target image, which is an image of a search target, in a search condition are combined. The search unit searches for a matching image, which is an image to be searched, using a combination of the search processes represented by the search scenario and outputs search result information representing an area in the matching image detected through the search.
