On-board apparatus
View Patent ↗Provided is an on-board apparatus such that a function that is not displayed on an image display unit can be safely operated in a simple operation even during travel without watching the image display unit. An on-board apparatus ( 10 ) is provided with: a touch panel ( 18 ) for detecting information about a position touched by an operator; a display mode recognition unit ( 32 ) that recognizes a mode displayed on an image display unit ( 17 ); a gesture recognition unit ( 33 ) that recognizes a gesture inputted via the touch panel; and an operation mode determination unit ( 34 ) that determines an operation mode depending on the travel status of the vehicle and on the basis of the gesture. Thus, the function that is not displayed on the image display unit ( 17 ) can be simply operated by the gesture for implementing the function that is limited during travel.
1. An in-vehicle apparatus comprising:
an image display section that displays an image;
a touch panel that is provided over the image display section and that detects information on a position touched by an operator; and
a control section that recognizes a gesture inputted on the touch panel, wherein
when the vehicle is running, the control section determines that the recognized gesture is performed as an operation to a first operation mode other than a second operation mode displayed on the image display section and performs a function assigned to the gesture in the first operation mode, and
when the vehicle is stopping or the vehicle speed is equal to or less than a predetermined value, the control section determines that the recognized gesture is performed as an operation to the second operation mode displayed on the image display section and performs a function assigned to the gesture in the second operation mode.
2. The in-vehicle apparatus according to claim 1 , the control section further comprising:
a display mode recognition section that recognizes the operation mode displayed on the image display section;
a gesture recognition section that recognizes the gesture inputted on the touch panel; and
an operation mode determination section that determines to what operation mode the gesture recognized by the gesture recognition section is performed as the operation.
3. The in-vehicle apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the control section determines the recognized gesture is performed as the operation to the second operation mode displayed on the image display section, when the operation mode performed in in-vehicle apparatus is only the second operation mode displayed on the image display section.
4. The in-vehicle apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the control section determines the recognized gesture is performed as the operation to the second operation mode displayed on the image display section, when a time transition of the signal of the touch position outputted from touch panel to control section is larger than a predetermined value and the input of the operator is a gesture input operation.
5. The in-vehicle apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the control section performs a function assigned to the place touched by the operator or a function assigned to the icon displayed on the touched place, when a time transition of the signal of the touch position outputted from touch panel to the control section is smaller than a predetermined value and the input of the operator is a touch input operation to a specific place.
