Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Included are an operating surface, a touch sensor configured to detect touch operations of an operating member as to the operating surface, a pressure sensor configured to detect a pressing operation on the operating surface by the operating member, a tactile feedback presenting element configured to present tactile feedback, and a tactile feedback controller configured to control tactile feedback that the tactile feedback presenting element presents. When the touch sensor detects that a position indicated on a display screen by an operation as to the operating surface is an object on the display screen or a specified region of the display screen, and further the pressure sensor detects that a predetermined pressing operation has been performed as to an object region, the tactile feedback controller causes the tactile feedback presenting element to present tactile feedback corresponding to a double-clicking operation.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . An input device comprising: an operating surface; a touch sensor configured to detect touch operations of an operating member as to the operating surface; a pressure sensor configured to detect a pressing operation on the operating surface by the operating member; a tactile feedback presenting element configured to present tactile feedback; and a tactile feedback controller configured to control tactile feedback that the tactile feedback presenting element presents, wherein, when the touch sensor detects that a position indicated on a display screen by an operation as to the operating surface is an object on the display screen or a specified region of the display screen, and further the pressure sensor detects that a predetermined pressing operation has been performed as to an object region, the tactile feedback controller causes the tactile feedback presenting element to present tactile feedback corresponding to a double-clicking operation. 2 . The input device according to claim 1 , wherein the predetermined pressing operation is determined by at least one of pressure of the pressing operation, and duration of the pressing operation. 3 . An input device comprising: an operating surface; a touch sensor configured to detect touch operations of an operating member as to the operating surface; a pressure sensor configured to detect a pressing operation on the operating surface by the operating member; a tactile feedback presenting element configured to present tactile feedback; and a tactile feedback controller configured to control tactile feedback that the tactile feedback presenting element presents, wherein, when the touch sensor detects that a position indicated on a display screen by an operation as to the operating surface is an object on the display screen or a specified region of the display screen, and further the touch sensor detects that a second operating member separate from the operating member has been placed in a specified region on the operating surface, the tactile feedback controller causes the tactile feedback presenting element to present tactile feedback corresponding to a double-clicking operation. 4 . The input device according to claim 3 , wherein the specified region is a region separate from an object region, and the operating member and the second operating member are separate fingers.
