Coordinate input device having non-flat operation surface and electronic apparatus
First Claim
1. A coordinate input device comprising:
- coordinate input means which performs a coordinate input operation by detecting a position of an operating member on a non-rotating operation surface when the operating member slides on the operation surface, wherein the operation surface is formed in a convex shape, a concave shape, or the shape of a polyhedron.

Abstract
A coordinate input device includes a coordinate input unit which performs a coordinate input operation by sliding an operating member on an operation surface which is formed in a convex shape, a concave shape, or the shape of a polyhedron. More specifically, the coordinate input device includes a capacitive sensor substrate formed by laminating two electrode layers with an upper substrate (dielectric layer) therebetween, each electrode layer including a plurality of electrodes arranged in a striped pattern. In addition, the coordinate input device also includes the operation surface formed in a convex (or concave) shape which is used for performing a coordinate input operation by sliding the operating member thereon.

5. A coordinate input device comprising:
-
coordinate input means which performs a coordinate input operation by detecting a pushing force and a sliding direction of an operating member when the operating member slides on an operation surface, wherein the coordinate input means includes a detection sensor unit and an operation unit disposed on the detection sensor unit, the top surface of the operation unit being formed in a concave shape, a convex shape, or the shape of a polyhedron, and wherein the coordinate input means detects the pushing force applied to the operation unit by using the detection sensor unit and outputs a detection signal corresponding to the pushing force. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8)
