(2) Flowchart Next, input / output processing executed according to the input / output program will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  When the power is turned on, the control unit 5 starts the input / output processing procedure RT1, and proceeds to step SP1.

  In step SP1, the control unit 5 once erases the information stored in the RAM in the storage circuit unit, and proceeds to the next step SP2. In step SP2, the control unit 5 loads the input / output program stored in the ROM in the storage circuit unit and the menu execution program for executing each menu into the RAM, and proceeds to the next step SP3. In step SP3, the control unit 5 initializes the interface 19 and the NIC, and proceeds to the next step SP4.

  In step SP4, the control unit 5 projects the first information 29 from the projector 2 arranged on the ceiling 22 onto the seat 6 that is the projection destination, and proceeds to the next step SP5. In step SP5, the control unit 5 sets the value of the counter n to “1”, and proceeds to the next step SP6. In step SP6, the control unit 5 starts acquiring image information of the projection destination from the camera 3, and proceeds to the next step SP7.

  In step SP7, the control unit 5 determines whether or not the first input operation is detected in the first area 31. Here, when a positive result is obtained, the control unit 5 proceeds to the next step SP8.

  In step SP8, the control unit 5 switches the first information 29 displayed in the first area 31 to the second information 36, that is, the “tension monitor” icon 37, and moves to the next step SP9. . In step SP9, it is determined whether or not the second input operation in the first area is detected. Here, if a positive result is obtained, this means that the “tension monitor” menu has been selected, and the control unit 5 proceeds to the next step SP10. On the other hand, when a negative result is obtained, the control unit 5 returns to step SP6.

  In step SP10, the control unit 5 activates the “tension monitor” menu, and proceeds to the next step SP11. In this case, the control unit 5 displays the grouped “tension monitor” menu sequentially and hierarchically in accordance with the operation of the operator.

  In step SP11, the control unit 5 determines whether or not the second input operation has been detected, and if an affirmative result is obtained, the process proceeds to step SP12, where the second input operation continues for a certain time, for example, several seconds. It is determined whether or not. If an affirmative result is obtained, the process proceeds to the next step SP13, the “tension monitor” menu is terminated, and the process proceeds to the next step SP14.

  If a negative result is obtained in step SP11, the control unit 5 returns to step SP11 and waits until a positive result is obtained. If a negative result is obtained in step SP12, the control unit 5 moves to step SP16, displays the selected menu, in this case, the menu below the “tension monitor” menu, and returns to step SP11.

  In step SP14, the control unit 5 adds 1 to the value of the counter n (in this case, “2”), and proceeds to the next step SP15.

In step SP15, the control unit 5 determines whether or not the value of the counter n is greater than 5. If a positive result is obtained here, this means that the processing has been completed up to the fifth region 35, and the control unit 5 returns to step SP5. On the other hand, if a negative result is obtained, the control unit 5 returns to step SP6 and repeats the processing in order until the value of the counter n becomes “5”, that is, until the fifth area 35 is reached.
(3) Operation and Effect In the configuration described above, the vehicle input / output device 1 projects various icons on the seat 6 of the vehicle or the palm of the operator as a projection destination, and detects an input operation at the projection destination. In response to the input operation, the icons are switched to execute each menu.
