A display control device includes an operation information acquisition unit and a cursor coordinate controller. The cursor coordinate controller is configured to, in a state in which a cursor is set to a predetermined selection item, when operation information is acquired from the operation information acquisition unit, and when, based on a position of the cursor on a display surface of a display device, the selection item is included in a search area that is set in a direction corresponding to an operation direction included in the operation information on the display surface, select the selection item at a position closest to a reference point of the cursor in the direction corresponding to the operation direction as the selection item to be a movement destination of the cursor.

Display control device for selecting a displayed item based on input of a touch operation

A display control device includes a receiving portion configured to receive operation information input to a touch input portion, the touch input portion being located away from a display portion; and a processing portion configured to control display on the display portion in accordance with the operation information that is received by the receiving portion. The processing portion is configured to cause the display portion to display an image in which a cursor is disposed inside a plurality of icons that are circumferentially disposed, and the processing portion is configured to move the cursor to an icon among the plurality of icons, the icon being located in a direction of a slide operation received by the receiving portion.

Display control device

An input system includes a first touch input unit on which a touch operation is performed; a second touch input unit on which a touch operation is performed; and a processing unit configured to control display of a display unit using operation information that is acquired from any one touch input unit of the first touch input unit and the second touch input unit. The processing unit does not use operation information from an other touch input unit of the first touch input unit and the second touch input unit in display control for the display unit until a non-input time of the one touch input unit exceeds a first predetermined cancellation time, the non-input time of the one touch input unit being a time during which there is no input to the one touch input unit.

Input system

A vehicle display device includes a display configured to show a first screen and a second screen and circuitry configured to control a position of a cursor on the first screen, on the second screen, and between the first and second screens. The circuitry moves the cursor from the first screen to the second screen if the cursor is located in a peripheral region when the user performs an operation to move the cursor from the first screen to the second screen. The circuitry restricts movement of the cursor from the first screen to the second screen if the cursor is located outside the peripheral region when the user performs an operation to move the cursor from the first screen to the second screen.

Vehicle display device and method for controlling vehicle display device

An input apparatus includes: a touchpad that detects an input position; a display unit; and a calculation device configured to: move a display position of a cursor in steps in an identical direction to a variation direction of the input position detected by the touchpad every time the input position varies in an identical direction by a predetermined unit amount; calculate the number of movement steps and the adjustment amount by dividing a value by the predetermined unit amount when the variation direction of the input position calculated during a first predetermined period is equal to a variation direction of the input position calculated during a second predetermined period, the value obtained by adding the adjustment amount calculated during the second predetermined period to the displacement amount calculated during the first predetermined period, the second predetermined period being a predetermined period immediately preceding the first predetermined period.

Input apparatus

A touch operation detection apparatus includes a touch pad that has an operation surface touchable by an operator's body, and has a plurality of electrostatic sensors incorporated therein each of which detects electrostatic capacitance that is variable according to a touch on the operation surface; a number-of-touched-point determination part that determines whether the number of touched points at which touches are made on the operation surface of the touch pad is greater than or equal to 2 based on signals from the electrostatic sensors; and a sensitivity adjustment execution part that executes a sensitivity adjustment concerning the touch against the operation surface of the touch pad when the number-of-touched-point determination part determines that the number of touched points is greater than or equal to 2.

A keyless entry system including multiple portable devices and an in-vehicle device controlling smart lock and smart unlock of a vehicle door is disclosed. The in-vehicle device includes an vehicle-cabin-inside portable determination section, which when locking the vehicle door by the auto-lock function, determines whether or not there is the portable device located inside the vehicle cabin, and a disabled state release section that releases the disabled states of all of the portable devices when the vehicle-cabin-inside portable determination section determines that there is no portable device located inside the vehicle cabin.
