Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A vehicle manipulation detecting device includes a plurality of sensor electrodes and a shield electrode. Each of the sensor electrodes is configured to be attached to a window glass of a vehicle and output a detection signal corresponding to a capacitance changed in response to contact or approach of an object. The sensor electrodes include at least one first sensor electrode and at least one second sensor electrode. The shield electrode is arranged at a position corresponding to the first sensor electrode on an inner side of the first sensor electrode with reference to a passenger compartment of the vehicle.

The invention claimed is: 1. A vehicle manipulation detecting device comprising: a plurality of sensor electrodes, wherein each of the sensor electrodes is configured to be attached to a window glass of a vehicle and output a detection signal corresponding to a capacitance changed in response to contact or approach of an object, and the sensor electrodes include at least one first sensor electrode and at least one second sensor electrode; a first shield electrode, which is arranged at a position corresponding to the first sensor electrode on an inner side of the first sensor electrode with reference to a passenger compartment of the vehicle; and a second shield electrode, which is arranged at a position corresponding to the second sensor electrode on an outer side of the second sensor electrode with reference to the passenger compartment, wherein the sensor electrodes include a third sensor electrode, and the first sensor electrode, the third sensor electrode, and the second sensor electrode are aligned in a certain direction along the window glass. 2. The vehicle manipulation detecting device according to claim 1 , wherein the first shield electrode is configured by a door inner panel that is formed by a metal plate. 3. The vehicle manipulation detecting device according to claim 1 , wherein the second shield electrode is configured by a door outer panel that is formed by a metal plate. 4. The vehicle manipulation detecting device according to claim 1 , further comprising a sensitivity decreasing shield electrode, which covers part of the second sensor electrode from inside of the passenger compartment. 5. The vehicle manipulation detecting device according to claim 1 , further comprising a sensitivity decreasing shield electrode, which covers part of the second sensor electrode and part of the third sensor electrode from inside of the passenger compartment. 6. A vehicle manipulation detecting device comprising: a plurality of sensor electrodes, wherein each of the sensor electrodes is configured to be attached to a window glass of a vehicle and output a detection signal corresponding to a capacitance changed in response to contact or approach of an object, and the sensor electrodes include at least one first sensor electrode and at least one second sensor electrode; a first shield electrode, which is arranged at a position corresponding to the first sensor electrode on either an inner side or an outer side of the first sensor electrode with reference to a passenger compartment of the vehicle; and a second shield electrode, which is arranged at a position corresponding to the second sensor electrode on an outer side of the second sensor electrode with reference to the passenger compartment, wherein the sensor electrodes include a third sensor electrode, and the first sensor electrode, the third sensor electrode, and the second sensor electrode are aligned in a certain direction along the window glass. 7. The vehicle manipulation detecting device according to claim 6 , wherein the first shield electrode is configured by a door inner panel that is formed by a metal plate. 8. The vehicle manipulation detecting device according to claim 6 , wherein the second shield electrode is configured by a door outer panel that is formed by a metal plate. 9. The vehicle manipulation detecting device according to claim 6 , further comprising a sensitivity decreasing shield electrode, which covers part of the second sensor electrode from inside of the passenger compartment. 10. The vehicle manipulation detecting device according to claim 6 , further comprising a sensitivity decreasing shield electrode, which covers part of the second sensor electrode and part of the third sensor electrode from inside of the passenger compartment. 11. A vehicle manipulation detecting device comprising: a plurality of sensor electrodes, wherein each of the sensor electrodes is configured to face a window glass of a vehicle and output a detection signal corresponding to a capacitance changed in response to contact or approach of an object, and the sensor electrodes include at least one first sensor electrode and at least one second sensor electrode; a first shield electrode, which is arranged at a position corresponding to the first sensor electrode on an inner side of the first sensor electrode with reference to a passenger compartment of the vehicle; and a second shield electrode, which is arranged at a position corresponding to the second sensor electrode on an outer side of the second sensor electrode with reference to the passenger compartment, wherein the sensor electrodes include a third sensor electrode, and the first sensor electrode, the third sensor electrode, and the second sensor electrode are aligned in a certain direction along the window glass. 12. The vehicle manipulation detecting device according to claim 11 , wherein the first shield electrode is configured by a door inner panel that is formed by a metal plate. 13. The vehicle manipulation detecting device according to claim 11 , wherein the second shield electrode is configured by a door outer panel that is formed by a metal plate. 14.
