Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2024/070007
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Provided is an input device that is capable of precisely detecting an operation amount resulting from pressing. The input device includes: a fixed section (110) having a base section (111) and a plurality of holding sections (112) provided to the base section; a movable section (120) having a plurality of held sections (121A) that are positioned with respect to the fixing section by the plurality of holding sections and held swingably; an electrostatic sensor (130); an elastic member (140) that biases the movable section toward the base section and is provided between the base section and the movable section around the plurality of holding sections in a direction connecting an operation surface and the held sections of the movable section in a planar view; a plurality of displacement sensors (150) that detect displacement of the movable section when the operation surface of the movable section is pressed and the movable section swings with the plurality of holding sections serving as the center of rotation; and a control unit (160) that identifies a displacement sensor in which the distance from an operation position detected by the electrostatic sensor in a direction connecting the plurality of holding sections is shortest among the plurality of displacement sensors and determines the displacement of the movable section on the basis of the output of the identified displacement sensor.
