Input device and information processing apparatus
An information processing apparatus includes a first rubber dome disposed in a first area which is disposed along a first edge which is one side of a chassis and on the side of a second edge of the chassis which is located on the back side of an operation input unit which is connected to the first edge. A second rubber dome is disposed in a second area which is disposed along a third edge which is opposite to the first edge and is the other side of the chassis and on the second edge side. A third rubber dome is disposed in a third region which is disposed along a fourth edge of the chassis which is located on the front side of the operation input unit.
1. An input device which includes an operation input unit, comprising:
a member for use in incorrect attachment detection and configured to operatively interface a frame around a touch panel, wherein the member includes:
a first member in a first area which is along a first edge of a chassis and at a second edge of the chassis, the second edge is on a back side of the operation input unit and is connected to the first edge, the first member being on a second face of the input device which is opposite to a first face of the input device on which the operation input unit is disposed,
a second member in a second area which is along a third edge of the chassis, the third edge is opposite to the first edge and is at the second edge, the second member being on the second face, and
a third member in a third region which is along a fourth edge of the chassis which is located on the front side of the operation input unit, the third member being on the second face,
the third member is at a position where a distance from the first edge to the third member is greater than a distance from the first edge to the first member, and where a distance from the second edge to the third member is greater than a distance from the second edge to the second member,
the member is a conductive member having a capacitance;
wherein the input device is configured to enable incorrect attachment detection of the input device when:
at least one of the first member, the second member, and the third member does not directly overlay the frame; and
at least another one of the first member, the second member, and the third member directly overlays the frame.
2. The input device according to claim 1 , wherein
the member is a flexible member.
3. The input device according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a metal frame material in the frame, wherein
the member is configured to be on the metal frame material.
4. The input device according to claim 1 , wherein
an auxiliary member, which extends beyond an upper face of the operation input unit, is in an area where the operation input unit is not disposed on the first face.
5. The input device according to claim 1 , wherein
the operation input unit is a key disposition unit in which a plurality of keys is arrayed.
6. The input device according to claim 1 , wherein
the input device is configured to be detachably attached to an information processing apparatus which includes the touch panel, and
in a state where the input device is correctly attached to the information processing apparatus, the member is at a position where the member faces the frame.
7. An input device which is configured to be detachably attached to an information processing apparatus which includes a touch panel and includes an operation input unit, comprising:
a member for use in incorrect attachment detection and configured to operatively interface a frame around a touch panel, wherein the member includes
a first member in a first area which is along a first edge of a chassis and at a second edge of the chassis, the second edge is on a back side of the operation input unit and is connected to the first edge, the first member being on a second face of the input device which is opposite to a first face of the input device on which the operation input unit is disposed,
a second member in a second area which is along a third edge of the chassis, the third edge is opposite to the first edge and is at the second edge, the second member being on the second face, and
a third member in a third region which is along a fourth edge of the chassis which is located on the front side of the operation input unit, the third member being on the second face,
the third member is at a position where a distance from the first edge to the third member is greater than a distance from the first edge to the first member, and where a distance from the second edge to the third member is greater than a distance from the second edge to the second member, and
the member is configured to be detectable by the touch panel;
wherein the input device is configured to enable incorrect attachment detection of the input device when:
at least one of the first member, the second member, and the third member does not directly overlay the frame; and
at least another one of the first member, the second member, and the third member directly overlays the frame.
