Input display device
An input display device that includes: a display configured to display an image; a touch sensor of a capacitive type mounted on the display; a plurality of three-dimensional operation portions mounted over the touch sensor and capacitively coupled to the touch sensor; a distance detector configured to detect a distance, that is the distance from an operation object to the touch sensor, of the three-dimensional operation portion receiving an operation by the operation object among the three-dimensional operation portions; a position detector configured to detect a position of the operation object, in response to the operation to the three-dimensional operation portion by the operation object; and a determiner configured to determine the three-dimensional operation portion being operated by the operation object, among the three-dimensional operation portions, based on the distance detected by the distance detector and the position detected by the position detector.
1 . An input display device, comprising:
a display configured to display an image;
a touch sensor of a capacitive type mounted on the display;
a plurality of three-dimensional operation portions mounted over the touch sensor and capacitively coupled to the touch sensor;
a distance detector configured to detect a distance from an operation object to the touch sensor, in response to an operation by the operation object on a three-dimensional operation portion among the three-dimensional operation portions; and
a determiner configured to determine which one of the three-dimensional operation portions is operated by the operation object, based on the distance detected by the distance detector.
2 . The input display device according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a position detector configured to detect a position of the operation object, in response to the operation on the three-dimensional operation portion by the operation object; and
an analyzer configured to analyze a moving direction of the position detected by the position detector, wherein
the determiner further determines the three-dimensional operation portion being operated by the operation object, among the three-dimensional operation portions, in consideration of the moving direction analyzed by the analyzer.
3 . The input display device according to claim 2 , wherein
the three-dimensional operation portions include a rotary three-dimensional operation portion and a slider-type three-dimensional operation portion,
the analyzer analyzes whether the moving direction of the position detected is a circumferential direction or a linear direction, and
the determiner determines that the rotary three-dimensional operation portion is being operated upon the moving direction being analyzed to be the circumferential direction, and determines that the slider-type three-dimensional operation portion is being operated upon the moving direction being analyzed to be the linear direction.
4 . The input display device according to claim 1 , wherein
the three-dimensional operation portions include respective operable portions which have three-dimensional shapes to be operated by the operation object, and
heights of the operable portions of the three-dimensional operation portions are different from one another.
5 . The input display device according to claim 1 , further comprising a position detector configured to detect a position of the operation object, in response to the operation on the three-dimensional operation portion by the operation object,
wherein upon arranging the three-dimensional operation portions adjacent to each other, a detected position of the operation object operating on one three-dimensional operation portion overlaps with a detected position of the operation object operating on another three-dimensional operation portion, the one three-dimensional operation portion and the another three-dimensional operation portion being from among the three-dimensional operation portions.
6 . The input display device according to claim 1 , wherein
the display is an on-vehicle display.
