OPERATION INPUT DEVICE, OPERATION INPUT METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM STORING OPERATION INPUT PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240184402 titled 'OPERATION INPUT DEVICE, OPERATION INPUT METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM STORING OPERATION INPUT PROGRAM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an operation input device that detects the position of a detection target and controls an operation target based on this position. It also includes a mechanism to determine if the detection target has moved along the detection surface and switches between enabling and preventing control of the operation target accordingly.
- First detection section with a detection surface to detect the position of a detection target
- Operation control section to control an operation target based on the detected position
- Operation determination section to output a signal when the detection target moves along the detection surface
- Switching control section to switch between enabling and preventing control of the operation target based on the signal received
Potential Applications
This technology could be used in touchscreens, interactive displays, and other devices where precise control based on touch input is required.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of accurately detecting touch input positions and controlling operations based on this input in a reliable and efficient manner.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include improved user experience, precise control of operation targets, and efficient operation based on touch input.
Potential Commercial Applications
Commercial applications for this technology include smartphones, tablets, kiosks, and other touch-enabled devices where accurate touch input detection and control are essential for user interaction.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art for this technology could be touchscreens and touch-sensitive devices that detect touch input positions and control operations based on this input.
What are the specific components of the first detection section in the device described in the patent application?
The first detection section includes a first detection surface that detects the position of a detection target and outputs a signal representing this position.
How does the switching control section determine when to switch between the operation enabled and operation prevented states?
The switching control section switches from the operation prevented state to the operation enabled state when it receives a second signal from the operation determination section indicating that the detection target has moved along the first detection surface.
Original Abstract Submitted
an operation input device including: a first detection section including a first detection surface that detects a position at which a detection target is touching or within a predetermined distance, the first detection section outputting a first signal representing the position; an operation control section that controls a first operation target based on the first signal; an operation determination section that outputs a second signal only when it has determined that the detection target has moved along the first detection surface; and a switching control section that switches the operation control section between an operation enabled state in which control of the first operation target is enabled, and an operation prevented state in which control of the first operation target is prevented, the switching control section switching from the operation prevented state to the operation enabled state in a case in which the second signal has been received.
