AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing computer mice with zero operating pressure and stroke lack responsiveness, making it difficult to determine if an operation has been registered, and there is a need to increase response speed and generate a sense of control.

Method used

An operating device with a magnetic field generating unit, magnetic sensor, and control unit that detects magnetic field changes during push operations to determine switching states and generate tactile feedback, allowing for faster response and tactile feedback.

Benefits of technology

The device enhances response speed to operations and provides a sense of control by accurately determining the start and end of push operations with tactile feedback, reducing manufacturing complexity and cost.

Abstract

An operation device 1 comprises: an operation unit 2 configured to move from a pre-operation position X(1)0(2) by a push operation; a magnetic-field generation unit arranged in the operation unit 2 and configured to generate a magnetic field 40; a magnetic sensor 5 configured to detect the magnetic field 40 that changes in accordance with movement of the operation unit 2 from the pre-operation position X(1)0(2) caused by the push operation, and to output a detection value S(11)2(12) used for at least one of determining switching of the push operation from an off state Y(3)OFF(4) to an on state Y(5)ON(6) and determining switching of the push operation from an on state Y(7)ON(8) to an off state Y(9)OFF(10); and a detent unit configured to generate a detent when switching from an off state Y(13)OFF(14) to an on state Y(15)ON(16) by the push operation.
