Title:
CAPACITIVE OPERATING DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2014/087577
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
This capacitive operating device is provided with: an operating panel that includes multiple parts to be operated; a design panel with a shape that surrounds the operating panel; detection electrodes for which the capacitance between the detection electrodes and an operator changes according to the distance between the detection electrode and the operator; a detection unit that detects changes in the amount of capacitance between the detection electrodes and the operator; and a control unit that controls prescribed equipment according to a signal obtained from the detection unit. The multiple parts to be operated are disposed along a border between the operating panel and the design panel. The design panel has: multiple selection parts each of which is formed in a position adjacent to one of the multiple parts to be operated and that are selected by the operator; and discriminating parts for discriminating the multiple selection parts. The discriminating parts have a shape such that the operator can discriminate each position of the multiple selection parts by the operator touching the same.
