Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A operation input device includes a lever and a dial serving as movable operation parts that are moved by a user to be operated, a touch pad through which the user inputs a touch operation, and a braking mechanism for controlling movement of the lever and the dial. The dial is provided on top of the lever, and the touch pad is provided on the dial. The braking mechanism controls movement of the lever and the dial, that is, movement of the position of the touch pad, while a touch operation is performed on the touch pad.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
1 . An operation input device comprising: a movable operation part moved by a user to be operated; a touch pad disposed on the movable operation part, through which the user inputs a touch operation; and a brake that controls movement of the movable operation part while a touch operation is performed on the touch pad. 2 . The operation input device according to claim 1 , wherein the movable operation part comprises a dial. 3 . The operation input device according to claim 1 , wherein the movable operation part comprises a lever. 4 . The operation input device according to claim 1 , wherein the movable operation part comprises a push switch. 5 . The operation input device according to claim 1 , wherein the movable operation part comprises a lever that has, on top thereof, a dial installed with the touch pad, and that functions also as a push switch by being pressed down. 6 . An operation input device comprising: a movable operation part moved by a user to be operated; a touch pad disposed on the movable operation part, through which the user inputs a touch operation; and a processor configured to nullify a touch operation on the touch pad while a shift operation is performed on the movable operation part. 7 . The operation input device according to claim 6 , wherein the movable operation part comprises a dial. 8 . The operation input device according to claim 6 , wherein the movable operation part comprises a lever. 9 . The operation input device according to claim 6 , wherein the movable operation part comprises a push switch. 10 . The operation input device according to claim 6 , wherein the movable operation part comprises a lever that has, on top thereof, a dial installed with the touch pad, and that functions also as a push switch by being pressed down.
