Abstract:
A touch switch module according to one embodiment comprises a panel, a touch sensor and a control unit. The control unit includes a touch time detecting unit, a comparing unit, an output unit and an output forbidding unit. The touch time detecting unit detects touch time for which a touch is performed. The comparing unit compares the touch time with a predetermined threshold. The output unit outputs an operation signal when the touch time is the threshold or more. The output forbidding unit forbids output of the operation signal when the touch time is less than the threshold. The touch includes successive touches performed in succession in a short time period, and a single touch performed at one time. The threshold includes a successive touch threshold and a single touch threshold. The successive touch threshold and the single touch threshold are different from each other.
