Input apparatus
First Claim
1. An input apparatus, comprising:
- a touch sensor configured to detect a contact;
a load detection unit configured to detect a pressure load on a touch face of the touch sensor;
a display unit configured to display a slide bar;
a tactile sensation providing unit configured to vibrate the touch face; and
a control unit configured to control the tactile sensation providing unit such that a tactile sensation is provided to an object pressing the touch face based on a position of a knob of the slide bar shifted in response to the contact detected by the touch sensor while the pressure load detected by the load detection unit satisfies a predetermined standard, whereinthe control unit controls the tactile sensation providing unit such that a different tactile sensation is provided to the object pressing the touch face based on a shift amount of the knob, when the knob is shifted over a predetermined amount in a predetermined period of time.

Abstract
Provided is an input apparatus having a touch sensor to detect a contact operation to a slide bar displayed and to provide a tactile sensation of shift of the slide bar.
An input apparatus 1 has a touch sensor 11 configured to detect a contact, a load detection unit 12 configured to detect a pressure load on a touch face of the touch sensor 11, a display unit 14 configured to display the slide bar, a tactile sensation providing unit 13 configured to vibrate the touch face, and a control unit 15 configured to control the tactile sensation providing unit 13 such that a tactile sensation is provided to an object pressing the touch face based on a position of a knob of the slide bar shifted in response to the contact detected by the touch sensor 11 while the pressure load detected by the load detection unit 12 satisfies a predetermined standard.
