Title:
OPERATING PANEL
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2024/034266
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
An operating panel (2) is provided with: a panel member (3); a switch unit (4) that is provided on the panel member (3) and that is pressed and operated by a user; a sensor unit (6) that detects electrostatic capacitance which varies in accordance with the positional relationship between a finger (F) of the user and the switch unit (4); and a control unit (C) into which the electrostatic capacitance detected by the sensor unit (6) is inputted. The control unit (C) decides, on the basis of an inflection point (56) that appears in a change waveform (50) of the inputted electrostatic capacitance, a contact start point at which the finger (F) of the user has come into contact with the switch unit (4), and determines, when the electrostatic capacitance further increases from the contact start point and exceeds a prescribed value, that the switch unit (4) is in an operation state where the switch unit (4) is being operated.
