Abstract

A Hard Disk Drive HDD stores a program for causing a CPU to execute driver seat processing as processing corresponding to presence coordinates (x(k), y(k)) of an object when the presence direction of the object determined on the basis of detection values of the proximity sensors is the direction to the driver seat and passenger seat processing as processing corresponding to the presence coordinates (x(k), y(k)) of the object when the presence direction of the object is the direction to the passenger seat. The HDD also stores driver seat operation item data, passenger seat operation item data, a driver seat operation table, a passenger seat operation table, and the like.

Claims (6)

1 . A vehicle-mounted data processing device connected to a display device for displaying different images to a driver seat and a passenger seat and to a coordinate sensor for outputting a detection value corresponding to a presence coordinate of an object on a display area of the display device, the processing device comprising:

a control section which controls to display a driver seat operation item in a direction to the driver seat and to display a passenger seat operation item in a direction to the passenger seat on the display device, executes a driver seat processing depending on a the detection value output from the coordinate sensor when a presence direction of an object is a direction to the driver seat, and executes a passenger seat processing depending on with the detection value output from the coordinate sensor when the presence direction of the object is a direction to the passenger seat, wherein the presence direction of the object is determined based on the detection value of the sensor which is placed around the display area.

2 . The vehicle-mounted data processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the control section executes the driver seat processing as a processing corresponding to a presence coordinate P(k) of the object when the presence direction of the object is the direction to the driver seat, and executes the passenger seat processing as the processing corresponding to the presence coordinates P(k) of the object when the presence direction of the object is the direction to the passenger seat.

3 . A data processing device connected to a display device for displaying different images in a first direction and in a second direction and to a coordinate sensor for outputting a detection value corresponding to a presence coordinate of an object on a display area of the display device, the processing device comprising:

a control section which controls to display an operation item for the first direction in a direction to the first direction and to display an operation item for the second direction in a direction to the second direction, executes a first direction processing depended on the detection value of the coordinate sensor when a presence direction of an object is the first direction, and executes the second direction processing depending on the detection value of the coordinate sensor when the presence direction of the object is the second direction, wherein the presence direction of the object is determined based on the detection value of the sensor which is placed around the display area.

4 . The data processing device according to claim 3 , wherein the control section executes the first direction processing as a processing corresponding to a presence coordinate P(k) of the object when the presence direction of the object is the first direction, and executes the second direction processing as the processing corresponding to the presence coordinates P(k) of the object when the presence direction of the object is the second direction.
