Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2014/054208
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
An operating device (100) provided with: a touch sensor (31) for detecting an operation on a first operating surface (72) by a finger (F) of the operator; and an operation control unit (33); the operating device (100) being capable of acquiring an operating-element distance (d) from the first operating surface to the finger (F). A distinction is made between an operation within a first operating space (Sp1) for which the operating-element distance is less than a first threshold distance (Dth1) and an operation within a second operating space (Sp2) for which the operating-element distance is equal to or greater than the first threshold distance. A first movement of the finger within the first operating space and a second movement of the finger within the second operating space are respectively associated with a focus (62) and a sub-menu image (164), and one of the display modes thereof is changed. A second operating surface (74) is formed in a location separated from the first operating surface by a distance equal to or greater than the first threshold distance, to support an input by the finger within the second operating space.
