INPUT DEVICE AND METHOD FOR INPUTTING OPERATIONAL REQUEST
First Claim
1. An input device, comprising:
- a sensor configured to track movement of a body part of an operator and generate movement data about the movement of the body part,a processor including an operation command generator configured to generate an operation command from the movement data, a speed data generator configured to generate speed data representing a speed of the movement from the movement data, and a feedback determination portion configured to determine whether a feedback operation to allow the operator to confirm the operation command is required based on the speed data, andan operation portion including a feedback operation device configured to execute the feedback operation if the feedback determination portion determines that the feedback operation is required.

22. A method for inputting an operational request comprising steps of:
-
tracking movement of a body part of an operator to generate movement data about the movement of the body part, generating an operation command defining a predetermined operation and speed data representing a speed of the movement from the movement data, determining whether a feedback operation to allow the operator to confirm the operation command is required based on the speed data, and executing the feedback operation if the feedback operation is required.
