INPUT DEVICE, INTEGRATED INPUT SYSTEM, INPUT DEVICE CONTROL METHOD, AND PROGRAM

摘要

An input device according to an embodiment includes an operation panel, a selection unit, a detector, a vibration element, a setting unit, and a vibration control unit. The selection unit selects a to-be-controlled object using the operation panel in accordance with the user's action. The detector detects touch operation on the operation panel. The vibration element vibrates the operation panel. The setting unit sets a vibration pattern of the vibration element appropriate to the touch operation detected by the detector, depending on the to-be-controlled object selected by the selection unit. The vibration control unit controls the vibration element to generate the vibration pattern set by the setting unit.
