Input device e.g. for vehicle-mounted computer display unit, has controller to evaluate force applied on upper shell and its direction of application, based on signals output by pressure sensors

摘要

Pressure sensors (3,4) are provided between an upper shell (2) and a lower shell attached to a fixed base. A controller evaluates the force applied to the input device and its direction of application, based on the output signals of sensors and outputs the evaluation data to computer.
