  • Publication number: 20120256874
    Abstract: A controller acquires an inclination angle, with respect to a vertical direction, of a panel that a user presses for a user operation. The controller corrects a detection value detected by a pressure sensor based on the acquired inclination angle. Then the controller detects a position that the user presses on the panel and a pressure with which the user presses on the panel, based on the detection value, detected by the pressure sensor, which has been corrected.

  • Publication number: 20080068284
    Abstract: A display device whereby appropriate operation control desired by a user can be conducted is implemented even if an image for driver's seat which can be seen by a driver but cannot be seen by a passenger in a passenger seat and an image for passenger seat which can be seen by the passenger in the passenger seat but cannot be seen by the driver are displayed on a common screen. The display device comprises a unit for conducting operation control on an image with priority of an image GDR for driver's seat and an image GPA for passenger seat when an operation is performed to an operating switch arranged in such a manner that the operation area for the image GDR for driver's seat on the display screen and the operation area for the image GPA for passenger seat on the display screen overlap each other.

  • Publication number: 20070297692
    Abstract: An image interpolation device (310) includes a feature quantity calculating unit (313), an image interpolation processing unit (314), a resolution conversion processing unit (315) and a display control processing unit (316). With regards to pixels positioned in an interpolation subject area and peripheral pixels of the pixels, the feature quantity calculating unit (313) calculates feature quantities of the pixels. The image interpolation processing unit (314) extracts a pixel with the largest feature quantity from among the pixels positioned in the interpolation subject area. When the feature quantity of the extracted pixel is equal to a threshold or more, the image interpolation processing unit (314) sets a pixel value of the pixel as a pixel value of interpolation pixels. The resolution conversion processing unit (315) performs a resolution conversion on image data of which the interpolation pixels have been interpolated by the image interpolation processing unit (314).

  • Publication number: 20070297064
    Abstract: Even if a driver's seat use picture able to be seen from a driver and not able to be seen from a passenger's seat passenger and a passenger's seat use picture able to be seen from a passenger's seat passenger and not able to be seen from the driver are displayed on the common screen, suitable operational control desired by a user is realized. Means are provided for judging whether operations on operating switches 42DR to 47DR and 42PA to 47PA arranged so that an operating region on the display screen for the driver's seat use picture GDR and an operating region on the display screen for the passenger's seat use picture GPA overlap are from the driver's seat direction or from the passenger's seat direction and performing operational control for the picture able to be seen from that direction.
