Touch detection device having a plurality of initial setting distance
A detection device includes: a sensor region having a detection region; and a detector disposed on a back surface of a front plate that is a nonconductor. The detector is configured to detect an object to be detected on or above a surface of the front plate opposite to the sensor region and overlapping the detection region based on detection values of electrodes in the detection region. The detector includes: an initial setter configured to set a second distance not smaller than a first distance in a height direction of the front plate and register XY coordinates of an indicator in an XY plane where the object to be detected is detectable; a storage configured to store a parameter generated by the initial setter; and a gesture determination processor configured to determine a gesture corresponding to change in spatial coordinates of the object to be detected based on the parameter.
1. A detection device comprising
a sensor region and a detector disposed on a back surface of a front plate that is a nonconductor,
the sensor region having a detection region,
the detector being configured to detect an object to be detected on or above a surface of the front plate opposite to the sensor region and overlapping the detection region based on a detection value of each of a plurality of electrodes provided in the detection region, wherein
the detector comprises:
an initial setter configured to set a second distance equal to or larger than a first distance in a height direction of the front plate and register XY coordinates of an indicator in an XY plane where the object to be detected is detectable;
a storage configured to store therein a parameter generated by the initial setter; and
a gesture determination processor configured to determine a gesture corresponding to a change in spatial coordinates of the object to be detected based on the parameter stored in the storage.
2. The detection device according to claim 1 , wherein the detector detects the object to be detected, when the gesture determination processor determines that the registered XY coordinates of the indicator match the spatial coordinates where the object to be detected is present on or above the surface of the front plate opposite to the sensor region and overlapping the detection region.
3. The detection device according to claim 1 , wherein the detector detects that a predetermined gesture is performed, when the gesture determination processor determines that a registered XY coordinate locus of a gesture matches a coordinate locus of the spatial coordinates where the object to be detected is present on or above the surface of the front plate opposite to the sensor region and overlapping the detection region.
4. The detection device according to claim 3 , wherein the front plate is made of any one of wood, plywood, natural fiber, natural stone, marble, artificial stone, synthetic fiber, and synthetic leather.
5. The detection device according to claim 1 , wherein the first distance is 0.5 mm to 100 mm.
