Patent number: 10710517Abstract: A vehicle display device decorative part and a vehicle display device include a first area provided in the vehicle display device that displays information regarding a vehicle, and having a first pattern formed of a plurality of first grooves, and a second area provided to be included in the first area, and having a second pattern formed of a plurality of second grooves. As a result, the vehicle display device decorative part and the vehicle display device exhibits an effect to realize new and fresh visual effects due to a synergistic effect by a combination of the first pattern formed in the first area and the second pattern formed in the second area included in the first area.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2017Date of Patent: July 14, 2020Assignees: YAZAKI CORPORATION, KABUSHIKI KAISHA TOYOTA JIDOSHOKKIInventors: Hiroaki Kannzaki, Sosuke Yamamoto, Masashi Watanabe, Yuji Kawamoto, Noriyuki Sakayanagi, Hiroki Kuroyanagi

Patent number: 9971494Abstract: A touch switch module according to one embodiment comprises a panel, a touch sensor and a control unit. The panel displays a slide bar. The control unit includes a slide velocity detection unit that detects a slide velocity which is a change over time in sliding when the touch moves along the slide bar and an operation information switching unit that compares the slide velocity with a predetermined threshold, that outputs first operation information as the operation information when the slide velocity is below the threshold, and that outputs second operation information that is different from the first operation information as the operation information when the slide velocity is equal to or higher than the threshold.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2014Date of Patent: May 15, 2018Assignee: KABUSHIKI KAISHA TOYOTA JIDOSHOKKIInventor: Noriyuki Sakayanagi

Patent number: 9645667Abstract: A touch switch module according to one embodiment comprises a panel, a touch sensor and a control unit. The control unit includes a touch time detecting unit, a comparing unit, an output unit and an output forbidding unit. The touch time detecting unit detects touch time for which a touch is performed. The comparing unit compares the touch time with a predetermined threshold. The output unit outputs an operation signal when the touch time is the threshold or more. The output forbidding unit forbids output of the operation signal when the touch time is less than the threshold. The touch includes successive touches performed in succession in a short time period, and a single touch performed at one time. The threshold includes a successive touch threshold and a single touch threshold. The successive touch threshold and the single touch threshold are different from each other.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 2014Date of Patent: May 9, 2017Assignees: KABUSHIKI KAISHA TOYOTA JIDOSHOKKI, TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Noriyuki Sakayanagi, Makoto Arimoto, Koichi Masamura

Patent number: 9489108Abstract: A touch switch module according to one embodiment comprises a panel, a touch sensor and a control unit. The panel displays a slide bar including a step-up portion, a step-down portion, a non-responsive portion and a slide responsive portion. The control unit includes an up signal output unit which, when a short touch which is the touch for a short time is performed on the step-up portion, outputs an up signal for raising an operating condition of the electrical equipment by one level per short touch, a down signal output unit which, when the short touch is performed on the step-down portion, outputs a down signal for lowering the operating condition of the electrical equipment by one level per short touch, and an output forbidding unit which, when the touch is performed on the non-responsive portion, forbids the output of the operation signal.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 2014Date of Patent: November 8, 2016Assignees: KABUSHIKI KAISHA TOYOTA JIDOSHOKKI, TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Noriyuki Sakayanagi, Koichi Masamura
