OPTICAL OPERATING INPUT DETECTION APPARATUS, AUTOMATIC VENDING MACHINE, AND OPTICAL OPERATING INPUT DETECTION METHOD

摘要

An optical operating input detection apparatus includes: a detection unit configured to optically detect an operating input by the operating unit on respective first and second detection layers, the first detection layer extending in parallel with a display area surface on the display panel to be spaced a predetermined distance away from the display area surface and having a surface area including the display area surface, the second detection layer being disposed between the display area surface and the first detection layer and having a surface area identical to the surface area of the first detection layer; and an operation determination unit configured to determine operating detail of the operating unit based on a detected image on the respective first and second detection layers.
