A vehicle pedal stroke detection apparatus acquires a first value based on a physical amount regarding a magnetic flux of a magnet that is output from a stroke sensor. The first value is a physical amount regarding a magnitude of a magnetic flux density of the magnet with respect to a displacement of a push rod. Then, the vehicle pedal stroke detection apparatus compares the first value and a second value. The second value is a preset physical amount regarding the magnitude of the magnetic flux density of the magnet with respect to the displacement of the push rod.

An apparatus for carrying out inputs in an input capturing unit that can be coupled to the apparatus. An operating device has a receiving part and an operating element that is rotatably mounted on the receiving part. The operating element can be rotated by a finger to effect an input. A torque for the rotation of the control element can be adjusted by way of a controllable braking device. In addition, the control element has at least two actuating zones. The resistance to movement for the movability of the operating element can be adjusted depending on from which actuation zone the operating element is actuated and/or which actuation zone was previously activated.
