| 20110057903 | Input Apparatus, Input Method and Program - There is provided an input apparatus including: a pressure detecting unit which detects press pressure of an operational body applied to a virtual key having one or more input candidates allocated selectively; and an input control unit which varies a selection state of the one or more input candidates selectively allocated to the virtual key for every pressing operation having, as a single time of pressing operation, timing that the press pressure detected by the pressure detecting unit exceeds a predetermined selection threshold value or timing that the press pressure becomes smaller than the selection threshold value as being attenuated after exceeding the selection threshold value. | 03-10-2011 |
| 20110057904 | Sensor Device and Information Processing Device - A sensor device is provided which includes a pressure-sensitive sensor which changes shape in response to pressing of an operation tool and which detects change in capacitance due to the change in shape, and a barrier which covers at least a part of the pressure-sensitive sensor and which prevents change in capacitance of the pressure-sensitive sensor due to capacitive coupling that occurs with approach between the pressure-sensitive sensor and the operation tool. | 03-10-2011 |
| 20110148763 | OPERATION INPUT DEVICE AND METHOD, PROGRAM, AND ELECTRONIC APPARATUS - An operation input device includes: angular velocity detecting means for detecting an angular velocity; relative velocity detecting means for contactlessly detecting a relative velocity to a target object; distance detecting means for detecting a distance to the target object; and computing means for computing an amount of movement based on the angular velocity, the relative velocity, and the distance. | 06-23-2011 |

| 20080245594 | Traveling apparatus - A coaxial two-wheeled vehicle includes a plurality of wheels disposed in parallel, a vehicle body, at least one of a step plate and a seat, an operating member, and a mechanism. The vehicle body supports plurality of wheels rotatably. The step plate is coupled to the vehicle body to carry a driver in an upright attitude. The seat is coupled to the vehicle body to seat the driver. The operating member is coupled to the vehicle body and operated by the driver for inputting driver's operation including an accelerating operation and a decelerating operation. The mechanism is configured to move at least one of the step plate and the seat in a front-rear direction of the vehicle body in accordance with an operation of the operating member. | 10-09-2008 |
| 20080257617 | Traveling device - In a traveling device according to the present invention, self-support and conveyance of the device by dragging are facilitated. Two wheels | 10-23-2008 |
| 20100025139 | VEHICLE BODY STRUCTURE AND COAXIAL TWO-WHEEL VEHICLE - Provided is a vehicle body which constitutes a coaxial two-wheel vehicle including two wheels coaxially arranged. The vehicle body includes: a parallel linkage that includes horizontal links and vertical links and is rotatable in a left-and-right direction of the coaxial two-wheel vehicle; and step plates respectively provided to upper end portions of the vertical links. A load of a passenger riding on the left and right step plates acts on the parallel linkage at a position inside or outside of a line which passes through a ground contact point of one of the wheels respectively mounted to the vertical links and which is in parallel with the vertical links. | 02-04-2010 |
| 20100121538 | TRAVEL DEVICE - A two-wheel vehicle having a roll axis rotation flexibility in which a servo motor is mounted to each of two wheels operating independently of each other fails to perform stable straight-forward traveling on a laterally inclined road because a neutral position by a spring force of a handle or a step varies with respect to a vertical axis as a vehicle body tilts in a roll axis direction due to a road slope. Further, in such a device, the handle or the step can tilt against intention due to a left and right unbalanced load of a passenger onto the step when getting on or off the vehicle. There is thus provided a control device that enables stable straight-forward traveling while maintaining a standing posture of a person vertically on a laterally inclined road through a motor control of the position of a handle or a step. There is also provided a control device that enables a rotation while a person maintains a vertical posture when a performing rotation operation on an inclined road. There is also provided a vehicle that prevents the occurrence of an unintended inclination of a handle and a step during loading or unloading of a passenger. | 05-13-2010 |
| 20100250040 | COAXIAL TWO-WHEELED VEHICLE - When a traveling direction is defined as a roll axis, a coaxial two-wheeled vehicle in accordance with the present invention realizes a turning action by a tilting movement of a turning operation portion toward the roll direction. The turning operation portion is disposed between legs of a passenger and has a structure that does not restrain a movement of the leg in forward/backward directions of the vehicle. Further, knee pad portions or calf pad portions are provided in a part of the turning operation portion, and come into contact with the knee or calf of the passenger so that a turning operation is performed. | 09-30-2010 |
| 20110121541 | CARRIER VEHICLE AND COUPLING MECHANISM - The carrier vehicle includes a coaxial two-wheel vehicle including two wheels arranged on the same axial centerline, a cart, and a coupling mechanism to couple the coaxial two-wheel vehicle to the cart. The coupling mechanism | 05-26-2011 |
