That is, the non-contact user input device can not only detect that an object such as a fingertip of a user has approached, but also recognize the shape of the object. Further, even when two or more users try to access the non-contact user input device at the same time, it is possible to separate and recognize the fingertips of each user.

強度は、コンデンサの静電容量Ｃaにのみ依存する。Here, when an AC voltage is applied to the transmission electrode 11 side, the capacitance C between the transmission electrode 11 and the reception electrode 15 is increased.
The capacitive coupling occurs due to a, and an alternating current is generated in the receiving electrode 15. Intensity of the current passing through the capacitor C a is a band-pass filter 16A tuned to the oscillation frequency of the AC voltage in the oscillator 12, an amplifier 16B, detector 16C, and the signal processing by each unit of the A / D converter 16D To obtain digital data. The intensity of the alternating current received at the receiving electrode 11 depends only on the capacitance C a of the capacitor.

Therefore, as long as the same AC voltage is applied to the transmission electrode 11 side, the intensity of the AC current received at the reception electrode 15 side is constant.
