Abstract
An operation detection device according to an embodiment includes: a display unit that displays an operation unit as a virtual image; a sensor that detects a position of an object approaching the operation unit; and a determination unit that determines whether or not the operation unit has been pressed based on the position of the object detected by the sensor. The determination unit determines that the operation unit has been pressed before the object reaches the operation unit.
Claims11
An operation detection device, comprising:
- a display unit that displays an operation unit as a virtual image;
- a sensor that detects a position of an object approaching the operation unit;
- and
- a determination unit that detects a speed of the object approaching the operation unit, wherein
- the sensor detects distance image data between the object and the operation unit and sequentially outputs the distance image data to the determination unit at predetermined time periods such that the determination unit predicts a time in which the object will reach the operation unit, and
- the determination unit determines whether or not the operation unit has been pressed based on the detected speed of the object and the position of the object detected by the sensor such that the determination unit determines that the operation unit has been pressed before the object reaches the operation unit.

- a sensor that detects a position of an object approaching the operation unit;
- and
- a determination unit that determines whether or not the operation unit has been pressed based on the position of the object detected by the sensor, wherein
- the sensor is provided on a side opposite to the object with the operation unit interposed therebetween,
- the sensor detects distance image data between the object and the operation unit and sequentially outputs the distance image data to the determination unit at predetermined time periods such that the determination unit predicts a time in which the object will reach the operation unit, and
- the determination unit determines that the operation unit has been pressed before the object reaches the operation unit.

- the sensor detects distance image data between the object and the operation unit and sequentially outputs the distance image data to the determination unit at predetermined time periods such that the determination unit predicts a time in which the object will reach the operation unit,
- the sensor emits a light beam in a direction extending along a pressing determination surface of the operation unit such that when the object crosses the emitted light beam at the pressing determination surface the sensor detects the object approaching the operation unit, and
- the determination unit determines that the operation unit has been pressed before the object reaches the operation unit.
