A control system includes a contact sensor configured to detect entry of an operation body into a recess formed between a door handle of a door handle apparatus and a body of the door handle apparatus by detecting contact between the operation body and an back face of the door handle, a force sensor configured to detect a force applied by the operation body to the door handle, and a controller configured to control operation of a door when the contact is detected by the contact sensor and the force is detected by the force sensor.

Control system, control apparatus, and control method

The electrostatic capacitance detecting device includes a first substrate; a detection electrode provided on a front-side surface of the first substrate to detect a proximity of an operating body to an operating face; a stray capacitance coupling conductor provided in a direction with respect to the first substrate, the direction being opposite to a direction of the detection electrode with respect to the first substrate; a first peripheral electrode provided on the front-side surface of the first substrate to surround the detection electrode; and a plurality of lateral electrodes provided side by side to surround the detection electrode, the plurality of lateral electrodes extending along a thickness direction of the first substrate and connected to each of the first peripheral electrode and the stray capacitance coupling conductor.

Detecting device and manufacturing method

A door handle, to be attached to a door, includes an outer case, an inner case integrated with the outer case, and a pressure detector configured to detect pressure applied to the inner case. The inner case includes a recess in proximity to an end portion in a longitudinal direction, and the pressure detector detects a displacement of a first inner wall surface on a center portion side of the inner case in the recess, caused by the pressure applied to the inner case.

Door handle apparatus and controller

A control system includes a contact sensor configured to detect contact between an operation body and a door handle, a force sensor configured to detect a force applied by the operation body to the door handle, and a controller configured to control opening or closing of a door when the contact is detected by the contact sensor and the force is detected by the force sensor.

An operation device includes a housing, an operation member, and a detector. The housing includes an electrically conductive portion on a surface thereof. The operation member is supported by the housing such that the operation member is movable in response to an operation by an operation body, and is configured to be capacitively coupled to the operation body and to the electrically conductive portion. The detector is configured to detect whether the operation body is in proximity to the operation member based on a change in capacitance at the electrically conductive portion.

Operation device and operation member
