Title:
SWITCH DEVICE AND USER INTERFACE DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2023/157966
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
In this invention, a first sensor (131) detects a change in the capacitance of a detection region (12) that is provided to a knob (11), said change accompanying contact with a finger (F). A second sensor (132) detects displacement of the knob (11) in a first direction (D1). A control unit (14) outputs a first control signal (CS1) for controlling the operation of an air conditioning device (21) if a change in the capacitance has been detected by the first sensor (131) and displacement of the knob (11) in the first direction (D1) has been detected by the second sensor (132). The detection region (12) includes a first section (121) and a second section (122). The second section (122) is provided to a position at a distance in the first direction (D1) from the center (C) of the detection region (12) in the orientation following the first direction (D1), and has a more recognizable appearance than the first section (121).
