Abstract
A touch switch module according to one embodiment comprises a panel, a touch sensor and a control unit. The panel displays a slide bar. The control unit includes a slide velocity detection unit that detects a slide velocity which is a change over time in sliding when the touch moves along the slide bar and an operation information switching unit that compares the slide velocity with a predetermined threshold, that outputs first operation information as the operation information when the slide velocity is below the threshold, and that outputs second operation information that is different from the first operation information as the operation information When the slide velocity is equal to or higher than the threshold.
Claims5
A touch switch module comprising:
- a panel where a slide bar for instructing an operation of an electrical equipment is displayed;
- a touch sensor which is formed on the panel, and which detects a touch to the slide bar;
- and
- a control unit which is connected to the touch sensor, and which outputs operation information for operating the electrical equipment on the basis of the touch, wherein
- the control unit includes
- a slide velocity detection unit that detects a slide velocity which is a change over time in sliding when the touch moves along the slide bar;
- and
- an operation information switching unit that compares the slide velocity with a predetermined threshold, that outputs first operation information as the operation intonation when the slide velocity is below the threshold, and that outputs second operation information that is different from the first operation information as the operation information when the slide velocity is equal to or higher than the threshold.
