A lighting device for a vehicle includes a light device disposed in an interior of an automobile, and a touch panel for controlling the light device. The light device is configured such that a light intensity and a chromaticity of the light device is changed according to contact of a detection object with the touch panel or according to action of a detection object on the touch panel.

Vehicle lighting device

Disclosed is a vehicle lighting device intended to improve convenience and safety. A vehicle lighting device includes a light disposed in a vehicle interior, a controller controlling the light, and a detecting unit detecting position or motion of a detecting object by detecting a detection object at a plurality of positions, and the controller controls the light when the position or motion of the detection object is detected by the detecting unit.

An electronic device which can simplify operation when displaying an active window or an inactive window is provided. The active window or the inactive window is displayed on a display section arranged in a position different from an operation input section based on a comparison of a pressing force to the operation input section and a reference value. Therefore, the active or inactive window can be displayed by one action, and thereby operation can be simplified.

Electronic device

The disclosed apparatus reduces necessary electric power for moving a touch pad of an input device to a predetermined height and maintaining the touch pad at the height, the touch panel creating a sense of touch when operated. The input device includes: a contact member to be in contact with a contact body; a housing for supporting the contact member in a movable manner; and a drive device for moving the contact member with respect to the housing, wherein the drive device is equipped with a rotatable rotary body, first magnets disposed on the rotary body, and second magnets disposed on the contact member, and wherein the first magnets and the second magnets are arranged so as to be able to face each other.

Input device

By the feedback including a factor of vector, the operational feeling of a user in a touch input is improved. In the electronic device, the user performs an input by making a contact body such as a finger contacts a contact face serving as a touch pad to move the contact body. The contact face is supported by a housing, and a drive device moves the contact face with respect to the housing. The control unit obtains the position information including the contact position of the contact body with the contact face and the information indicating the movement of the contact position, and moves the contact face based on the obtained position information when the contact body contacts the contact face.

To provide an electronic apparatus capable of easily and accurately performing an operation of changing a display. A navigation system displays standard map information in small scale on a liquid crystal display device, and displays status information on movement speed of a vehicle or guidance information on distance and direction to a cross point to turn next on a head-up display device. Only while a contact of a contact body on a surface of a touchpad continues to be detected, first scaled-up map information as the scaled-up standard map information continues to be displayed on the liquid crystal display device instead of the standard map information.
