Document Type and Number:

Japanese Patent JPH11143606

Kind Code:

A

Abstract:

To provide a skillful user interface corresponding to a physical operation.

A device 10 has a deformed face 20 having a deformed sensor mesh 22 at a lower part for detecting surface deformation by straddling plural small areas on the deformation possible surface 20 or in the areas. The deformed sensor mesh 22 is connected to a processor 24 which has a connected memory system 26 and which is held inside. A sensing system 28 is provided for detecting various deformations in terms of position or environment.
