Abstract: In the upper enclosure, a CPU for application and a memory for application as well as an application device are mounted. In the lower enclosure, a CPU for communication and a memory for communication as well as a transmission/reception circuit are mounted. In such a configuration, the data transfer for application processing is executed mainly in the upper enclosure. Thus, the quantity of data passing through the folding portion from/to the lower enclosure for the application processing is reduced. The wire harness is simplified and power consumption is reduced.

Abstract: One instruction sent from a control section such as a CPU is supplied to a plurality of sensory output means in common at the same time or an operation command signal to be sent to a controller for sensory means is formed by phenomenon detecting means based on a driving signal sent from another controller for sensory means. Thus, a plurality of sensory output means is reliably driven synchronously.
