In a shift device, when a switch is operated, a moving portion, a first lock plate, a second lock plate and a third lock plate are moved toward a vehicle front side, and placement of the first lock plate, the second lock plate and the third lock plate at a return path is cancelled. Therefore, if the switch is operated when a lever is placed at other than a 'P' position, due to a guide pin being moved along the return path toward an upper side by urging force of a return spring, the guide pin is returned to a vehicle front side end of a first lateral path, and the lever is returned to the 'P' position. Due thereto, the lever can easily return to the &#x201c;P&#x201d; position from other than the &#x201c;P&#x201d; position.

Shift device

An input device includes a touch panel configured to be displaceable in vertical direction and to be urged upwardly toward an original position in a non-depressed state, a depression start detector that detects a start of a depression manipulation of the touch panel while the touch panel is depressed and displaced downward, a determination manipulation detector that detects a determination manipulation based on the touch panel is displaced to a position which is lower than a position where the depression start detector detects the start of the depression manipulation, and a decision unit that stores the touch position when the depression start detector detects the start of the depression manipulation, and thereafter decides that the determination manipulation has been conducted at the stored touch position when the determination manipulation detector detects the determination manipulation.

Input device

Provided is an operating device with which the erroneous detection of depression operations can be prevented when tactile sensation is presented, without requiring a sophisticated control. This operating device () substantially includes a touch panel () that detects tracing on an operation screen; a depression mechanism unit () capable of a depression operation in the direction downward from a standard position of the touch panel () a push switch () that detects a depression operation via the depression mechanism (), and a drive mechanism unit () capable of driving between the standard position of the touch panel () and a position thereabove.

An in-vehicle wireless charging system including a warning unit that generates a warning notifying a user that a vehicle is in a situation inappropriate for the user to leave the vehicle when a door opens under a situation inappropriate for the user to leave the vehicle. The warning unit is constantly supplied with power. A wireless charging device supplies power to a charged device set at a predetermined charge location in the vehicle. A first switch detects whether or not the charged device is set at the charge location. The warning unit generates the warning notifying the user that the vehicle is in a situation inappropriate for the user to leave the vehicle when the door opens under a situation in which the charged device has been determined from the detection of the first switch as being set at the charge location.

A vehicle wiper controller includes a wiper drive circuit which drives a wiper. An operation switch is manipulated in a plurality of manipulation directions or to a plurality of operation mode positions when a manipulation force is applied thereto. A wiper operation control unit electronically controls the operation of the wiper and sets the wiper to an operation mode corresponding to the manipulation of the operation switch. A control signal hold circuit, discrete from the wiper operation control unit, transmits a control signal to the wiper drive circuit when the operation switch is manipulated in a predetermined first manipulation direction or when the operation switch is manipulated to a predetermined first operation mode position. The control signal hold circuit sets a hold state for holding the transmission state of the control signal.

Wiper controller

A vehicle security device for providing a vehicle with improved security. The security device includes a camera for generating a facial image of a vehicle occupant. A security controller, which is connected to the camera, restricts driving of the vehicle. If the facial image includes the necessary facial features, the security controller enables the driving of the vehicle.

Vehicle security device and system

A display system featuring improved operability when plural screens are displayed on a display and when many functions are provided, and a method of display for the display system. A screen is selected from plural screens displayed on a display portion A of a display . The selected screen is displayed on an entire surface of the display portion A together with an operation menu corresponding to the selected screen.

Vehicle-mounted display system and display method

Side-view mirrors are provided in which, without adversely affecting operations of retracting side-view mirrors and adjusting mirror surfaces, mechanisms are greatly simplified and a waterproofing/dustproofing mechanism can be omitted, thereby resulting in much lower manufacturing costs. In a switching driving section of the control device which adjusts the mirror surfaces of a pair of left-side and right-side side-view mirrors, a motor is selectively meshed with gears or gears by a switching operation by a plunger. The mirror surfaces of the side-view mirrors can thereby be adjusted to an arbitrary mounting angle. Namely, driving mechanisms provided for each of a left-side and a right-side as in conventional structures are combined into the single switching driving section, and thus the manufacturing costs are greatly reduced.

Side-view mirrors

An automatic control system is provided that allows a driver to decide whether some or all of an automatic control content for accessory devices for an automobile is to be executed. Trigger information for performing automatic control is detected by a detecting circuit such as a navigation system,and, on the basis of the detected trigger information, control contents are established at a control circuit,, and the established control contents are announced to the driver through the navigation system,and an audio system,. The driver replies to each of the corresponding announced contents (the contents to be automatically controlled) by operating an answer switch,. At the control section,, automatic control is performed in accordance with results of replies from the driver operating the answer switch
