Abstract:
An input device includes a knob, a detector, an electromagnetic brake, an elastic member, and a controller. The detector detects a rotation angle of the knob. The electromagnetic brake regulates rotation of the knob. The elastic member is provided between the knob and the electromagnetic brake. When the current position of the knob in the circumferential direction is not the target position for rotation regulation of the knob, the controller does not activate the electromagnetic brake. When the current position of the knob in the circumferential direction is the target position for rotation regulation of the knob, the controller determines whether to regulate rotation of the knob based on a rotation direction of the knob, or on a rotation angle of the knob that shifts from the holding position of the knob in the circumferential direction due to deformation of the elastic member.

Claim (Index 3):
The input device according to  claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to activate the electromagnetic brake when the current position of the knob in the circumferential direction is the target position for the rotation regulation of the knob and when the knob shifts in a direction of the rotation regulation of the knob from the holding position.
