Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A detection device includes: a detection unit that detects a predetermined non-contact operation by a detection reference; and a control unit that changes the detection reference when the predetermined non-contact operation is not detected by the detection reference.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
1 - 36 . (canceled) 37 . A detection device, comprising: a detection unit that detects a predetermined non-contact operation by a detection reference; and a control unit that is constituted by a processor and that changes the detection reference when the predetermined non-contact operation is not detected by the detection reference. 38 . The detection device according to claim 37 , wherein: the predetermined non-contact operation is an operation for an electronic apparatus; the detection unit detects the predetermined non-contact operation by the detection reference or outside the detection reference; and the control unit selects at least one of a control to cause the electronic apparatus to operate and a control to change the detection reference based on a position at which the predetermined non-contact operation is detected by the detection unit. 39 . The detection device according to claim 38 , wherein the control unit selects the control to cause the electronic apparatus to operate when the predetermined non-contact operation is detected by the detection reference. 40 . The detection device according to claim 39 , wherein the control unit selects the control to change the detection reference or both the control to change the detection reference and the control to cause the electronic apparatus to operate when the predetermined non-contact operation is detected outside the detection reference. 41 . The detection device according to claim 40 , wherein the control unit selects the control to change the detection reference or both the control to change the detection reference and the control to cause the electronic apparatus to operate based on a position at which the predetermined non-contact operation is detected outside the detection reference and a position of the detection reference that is changed. 42 . The detection device according to claim 41 , wherein the control unit selects the control to change the detection reference and the control to cause the electronic apparatus to operate when a relationship between the position at which the predetermined non-contact operation is detected outside the detection reference and the position of the detection reference that is changed fulfills a predetermined condition. 43 . The detection device according to claim 42 , wherein the control unit selects the control to change the detection reference when the relationship between the position at which the predetermined non-contact operation is detected outside the detection reference and the position of the detection reference that is changed does not fulfill the predetermined condition. 44 . The detection device according to claim 43 , wherein the predetermined condition is a condition to be able to detect the predetermined non-contact operation by the detection reference with the changed position. 45 . The detection device according to claim 44 , wherein the control to cause the electronic apparatus to operate is a control to change a display of a display unit by causing the electronic apparatus to operate. 46 . The detection device according to claim 37 , wherein: the predetermined non-contact operation is an operation for an electronic apparatus; the detection unit detects the predetermined non-contact operation by the detection reference or outside the detection reference; and the control unit changes the detection reference based on a position at which the predetermined non-contact operation is detected outside the detection reference and causes the electronic apparatus to operate based on the predetermined non-contact operation when the predetermined non-contact operation is detected outside the detection reference. 47 . The detection device according to claim 46 , wherein the control unit changes the detection reference based on the position at which the predetermined non-contact operation is detected outside the detection reference and causes the electronic apparatus to operate based on the predetermined non-contact operation when a first distance between the position at which the predetermined non-contact operation detected outside the detection reference and a position of the detection reference is less than a predetermined distance. 48 . The detection device according to claim 47 , wherein the control unit does not change the detection reference and does not cause the electronic apparatus to operate when the first distance is larger than the predetermined distance. 49 . The detection device according to claim 48 , wherein the control unit causes a display unit to change a display by causing the electronic apparatus to operate. 50 . The detection device according to claim 46 , wherein the control unit changes the detection reference based on the position at which the predetermined non-contact operation is detected outside the detection reference and causes the electronic apparatus to operate based on the predetermined non-contact operation when a velocity of at least part of the predetermined non-contact operation is less than a predetermined value. 51 . The detection device according to claim 50 , wherein the control unit does not change the detection reference and does not cause the electronic apparatus to operate when the velocity is larger than the predetermined value. 52 . The detection device according to claim 51 , wherein the control unit causes a display unit to change a display by causing the electronic apparatus to operate. 53 . The detection device according to claim 37 , wherein the control unit changes the detection reference when the predetermined non-contact operation is detected outside the detection reference. 54 . The detection device according to claim 53 , wherein the control unit changes the detection reference based on a distance between a position in space at which the predetermined non-contact operation is performed and the detection reference. 55 . The detection device according to claim 54 , wherein the control unit changes the detection reference when the distance is less than a predetermined value. 56 . The detection device according to claim 53 , wherein the control unit changes the detection reference based on a number of times the predetermined non-contact operation is detected outside the detection reference. 57 . The detection device according to claim 53 , wherein the control unit changes the detection reference when an operation different from the predetermined non-contact operation is detected outside the detection reference. 58 . The detection device according to claim 57 , wherein the control unit changes the detection reference when part of the predetermined non-contact operation is detected outside the detection reference. 59 . The detection device according to claim 58 , wherein the control unit changes the detection reference when the predetermined non-contact operation is detected based on part of the predetermined non-contact operation detected by the detection reference and part of the predetermined non-contact operation detected outside the detection reference. 60 . The detection device according to claim 59 , wherein the control unit changes the detection reference based on a distance between a position in space at which the operation different from the predetermined non-contact operation is performed and the detection reference. 61 . The detection device
