A method for detecting an operating input performed by a finger involves detecting various contact points of a contour of the finger using a sensor system on a sensor surface. The sensor system includes at least one transmitting unit for transmitting a signal to the finger and at least one receiving unit for receiving a signal reflected by the finger. A surface vibration is introduced into the sensor surface by at least one actuator, the surface vibration changes the frictional resistance between the finger and the sensor surface as a function of the changing contact points of the contour of the finger.

Control device, operational device, and system

A control device comprising a control unit configured to control regular operation based on operation on a first switch detecting operation in two opposing directions and operation on a second switch detecting touch on an object, wherein the control unit performs control such that the regular operation based on operation on the second switch is not performed until a regular time set between first and second times passes after operation on the first switch is detected, wherein the first time is a time in which a cumulative occurrence rate at which unintended touch on the second switch by a user after operation on the first switch occurs becomes 100% in an experiment carried out in advance, and wherein the second time is a time in which an intended touch on the second switch by the user after operation on the first switch is first detected.
