Push operation mechanism having tactile feedback

摘要

An operating device includes a push operation mechanism that allows a push operation of an operation unit, a tactile feeling presenting unit including a drive transmission mechanism for presenting an operational feeling by driving the operation unit via the push operation mechanism, a detection unit that detects a motion of the operation unit, and a drive control unit that intermittently drives the operation unit by a drive control signal that is generated based on an activation pulse signal and an advance vibration pulse signal that includes a prescribed number of pulses and a voltage smaller than that of the activation pulse signal.

1. An operating device, comprising:
a push operation mechanism that allows a push operation of an operation unit; a tactile feeling presenting unit comprising a drive transmission mechanism for presenting an operational feeling by driving said operation unit via said push operation mechanism; a detection unit that detects a motion of said operation unit; and a drive control unit that intermittently drives said operation unit by a drive control signal that is generated based on an activation pulse signal and an advance vibration pulse signal that comprises a prescribed number of pulses and a voltage smaller than that of said activation pulse signal, wherein said drive control unit intermittently drives said operation unit by outputting an additional pulse signal which is larger than said advance vibration pulse signal after outputting said advance vibration pulse signal if said detection unit does not detect a motion of said operation unit when the prescribed time elapses.
