  • Patent number: 10866693
    Abstract: A display control device includes an operation information acquisition unit and a cursor coordinate controller. The cursor coordinate controller is configured to, in a state in which a cursor is set to a predetermined selection item, when operation information is acquired from the operation information acquisition unit, and when, based on a position of the cursor on a display surface of a display device, the selection item is included in a search area that is set in a direction corresponding to an operation direction included in the operation information on the display surface, select the selection item at a position closest to a reference point of the cursor in the direction corresponding to the operation direction as the selection item to be a movement destination of the cursor.

  • Patent number: 7626382
    Abstract: An input shaft rotating speed detector detects an input shaft rotating speed Nin of an automatic transmission based on output signals from a resolver within a predetermined time period ?t1. An output shaft rotating speed detector calculates the number of pulse signals output from an electromagnetic pickup sensor within the predetermined time period ?t1, to detect an output shaft rotating speed Nout of the automatic transmission based on the time length of pulse intervals in the calculated number of pulse signals. With this configuration, the number of pulse signals used for calculating the output shaft rotating speed Nout can be changed, to thereby make a detection period of the output signals from the resolver used for calculating the input shaft rotating speed Nin be consistent with that of the pulse signals used for calculating the output shaft rotating speed Nout.
