Title:
OPERATION FEELING IMPARTING TYPE INPUT DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2010092408
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:

To provide an operation feeling imparting type input device in which a plurality of buttons are arranged and displayed in longitudinal and lateral directions and when a pointer is moved along one of the longitudinal and lateral directions, the pointer is hard to shift in the other direction.

This operation feeling imparting type input device generates drawing force for moving the pointer P toward the inside of each button when the pointer P in a display screen is moved according to an operation of a user. For example, when the user attempts to move the pointer P from the inside of a button BS0 to buttons BS1-BS3 arranged in the X (lateral) direction in the screen where the plurality of buttons are arranged and displayed in longitudinal and lateral directions, the drawing force Fx in the X direction is attenuated to prevent the shift of the pointer to the longitudinal direction.
