Control input device with vibrating function
First Claim
1. A vibration-function-equipped control input system comprising:
- a display panel operable to display a control screen;
a touch panel disposed on the display panel, a part of the touch panel corresponding to the location of a control key displayed on the control screen;
a pressure-position detector operable to detect the position of the touch panel pressed;
a vibration section operable to generate vibration to apply to the touch panel; and
a controller operatively connected to the display panel, the touch panel, the pressure-position detector, and the vibration section, wherein the controller directs the vibration section to generate a first vibration pattern when a predetermined time has passed after the control key is pushed, and subsequently directs the vibration section to generate a second vibration pattern when a control object controlled by the control key is changed.

Abstract
A vibration-function-equipped control input system includes: a display panel capable of displaying a control screen; a touch panel; a pressure-position detector; a vibration section that generates vibration to apply to the touch panel; and a controller operatively connected to the display panel, the touch panel, the pressure-position detector, and the vibration section. The controller directs the vibration section to generate a vibration of a first vibration pattern when a predetermined time has passed after the part of the touch panel corresponding to the position of a control key displayed on the control screen is pushed, and subsequently directs the vibration section to generate a vibration of a second vibration pattern when a change of a control object controlled by the control key is detected after the predetermined time has passed.
