<p>An input apparatus has an input unit 12 for receiving a pressure input, a load detection unit 13 for detecting a pressure load on the input unit 12, a vibration unit 14 for vibrating the input unit 12, and a control unit 15 for controlling drive of the vibration unit 14 such that a click sensation is provided to an object pressing the input unit 12 when the pressure load detected by the load detection unit 13 satisfies a predetermined standard for receiving an input to the input unit 12 and for controlling drive of the vibration unit 14 such that the click sensation is provided to the object, after the input to the input unit 12 is received, when the pressure load detected by the load detection unit 13 satisfies a standard lower than the predetermined standard for receiving the input to the input unit 12. Thereby, a realistic click sensation similar to that obtained when a push-button switch is operated is provided when an operator operates the input unit of a pressure type, which enables a continuous input operation without a feeling of strangeness.</p> |
