Description

  The present invention relates to a vehicle operating device.

JP 2002-207553 A

  In recent years, as a two-dimensional operation device, when an operation force is applied to a movable operation unit, a reaction force against the operation force is applied to a stick type operation unit to give a force sense to the operation. Has been developed and put into practical use.

  However, when a predetermined display object such as a pointer image displayed on the screen is moved by such an operation device to give a position instruction, the following problems occur. That is, since the stick-type movable operation unit is an operation that uses the wrist force, it is difficult to finely move the pointer image, and it is difficult to place the pointer image where intended. In particular, in the case of a Japanese syllabary input screen or the like, an input range (operation image) is set and displayed for each character on the screen, but since each input range is narrow, the pointer image is positioned on the target character region. It is difficult. Furthermore, it can be easily imagined that when such an operation is performed in the form of a blind operation by the driver, it becomes even more difficult. As described above, in the case of a stick-type movable operation unit (two-dimensional operation unit) mounted on a vehicle, there is a problem that a fine position instruction operation is difficult and an excessive operation burden is imposed on the user.

  Furthermore, such an operating device may be operated even when the vehicle is traveling. Since vibration is likely to occur during traveling of the vehicle, the fine position indication operation as described above becomes even more difficult.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a vehicular operating device having a stick-type two-dimensional operation unit that enables a fine position instruction operation and can reduce a user's operation burden.

Can also be provided.

The vehicle operation device of the present invention is a vehicle operation device that is attached to a position that can be operated by a user seated on a seat in a vehicle interior,

Display movement control and control content switching control for sequentially switching a plurality of control contents for which a switching order is defined in advance in a direction corresponding to the operated one-dimensional operation direction in any one of the forward and reverse directions of the switching order. of having one or a one-dimensional operation control means capable of performing both, and
The display object is a pointer image that can be moved to an arbitrary position on the screen of the display device, or that moves in a manner that changes over a predetermined operation image displayed on the screen of the display device,
Each of the two-dimensional operation unit and the one-dimensional operation unit is provided with a position designation input operation unit for performing position designation input with respect to a position designated by the pointer image in the screen of the display device. When the two-dimensional operation unit is operated, the operation to the position designation input operation unit corresponding to the two-dimensional operation unit is validated, and the position designation input operation unit corresponding to the one-dimensional operation unit is activated. When the one-dimensional operation unit is operated, the operation to the position designation input operation unit corresponding to the one-dimensional operation unit is enabled, It is set so that the operation to the position designation input operation unit corresponding to the two-dimensional operation unit is invalidated .

  According to the configuration of the present invention, in the two-dimensional operation unit having a stick-type operation member whose tip is held by the user, the tip surface (upper surface) of the stick-type operation member held by the user's hand is A one-dimensional operation unit that can be operated by a finger of a hand holding an operation member is provided. Finer operation is possible than with a stick-type operation member operated with a finger of a hand. Thus, a position indication operation is performed using a two-dimensional operation unit, and a designated position is finely corrected using a one-dimensional operation unit. It becomes possible. Further, since the operation of the one-dimensional operation unit is an operation limited to a predetermined one-dimensional operation direction, no operation input is performed in other directions.

  For example, when a display object such as a pointer image is moved by the vehicle operation device of the present invention, when an operation is performed on the one-dimensional operation unit, the display object is displayed on the screen corresponding to the operated one-dimensional operation direction. Only in the one-dimensional display direction (for example, one-dimensional linear direction). That is, since the display object moves along the one-dimensional display direction, there is no fear of moving out of the direction. For this reason, regarding the operation to the one-dimensional operation unit, only the operation amount needs to be taken care of, and thereby the movement displacement of the pointer image can be adjusted.

  Since the one-dimensional display direction on the screen is specified on the two-dimensional plane forming the screen, the one-dimensional operation direction of the one-dimensional operation unit is also specified on the two-dimensional operation surface of the two-dimensional operation unit. This makes it easy to recognize the correspondence between the two. In addition, since the vehicle occupant basically sits on the seat facing the front of the vehicle, the screen of the display device is a two-dimensional display surface extending in the vehicle up-down direction and the vehicle left-right direction. (In some cases, the upper end side of the screen is further arranged in an inclined posture in which the upper end side is positioned on the front side of the vehicle with respect to the section end side). In this case, the two-dimensional operation surface of the two-dimensional operation unit is defined in a two-dimensional plane that extends in the vehicle front-rear direction and the vehicle left-right direction (that is, the two-dimensional operation unit is an operation unit that can be tilted and displaced in the front-rear direction, left-right direction In addition, the vehicle up-down direction on the screen corresponds to the vehicle front-rear direction on the two-dimensional operation surface, and the vehicle left-right direction on the screen corresponds to the vehicle left-right direction on the two-dimensional operation surface. It becomes easy to understand the relationship between the direction and the display direction. At this time, the one-dimensional operation direction defined on the two-dimensional operation surface of the two-dimensional operation unit and the one-dimensional display direction defined on the two-dimensional display surface of the screen are the two-dimensional operation surface and the two-dimensional operation By setting it in a form that reflects the correspondence with the display surface, it is easy to intuitively understand the moving direction of the display target due to the operation in the one-dimensional operation direction.

  In addition, when performing the operation of sequentially switching the control contents by the vehicle operation device of the present invention, for example, when performing volume adjustment, the volume adjustment direction is two directions of “increase” or “decrease”. By associating with the forward and reverse two directions of the one-dimensional operation direction in the one-dimensional operation unit, the volume adjustment direction can be defined according to the operation direction, and the adjustment becomes easy.

  The display target of the present invention can be a scroll image in which a part of the image is displayed within a predetermined display range defined on the screen of the display device and the remaining part can be displayed by scrolling. In this case, the one-dimensional operation unit can perform an operation of scrolling the scroll image (display target) displayed on the screen in the display device in the one-dimensional display direction corresponding to the one-dimensional operation direction within the screen. It becomes. By applying the one-dimensional operation to the one-dimensional operation unit to the scroll operation, scroll display can be easily performed.

  The display object of the present invention may be a pointer image that can be moved to an arbitrary position on the screen of the display device. In this case, the one-dimensional operation unit can perform an operation of moving the position of the pointer image (display target) displayed on the screen in the display device in the one-dimensional display direction corresponding to the one-dimensional operation direction within the screen. Become. As a result, the position instruction operation using the pointer image can be performed not only by the operation by the two-dimensional operation unit but also by the one-dimensional operation unit, and the movement of the pointer image by the one-dimensional operation unit can be performed in a predetermined direction within the screen (primary Since the movement is limited to the original display direction), there is no blur in the other directions, the indication position can be easily adjusted, and fine adjustment is possible.

  In this case, the movement of the pointer image can be adjusted more easily by defining the one-dimensional display direction with a straight line. In particular, since the display screen is generally rectangular, for example, if the one-dimensional operation direction in the one-dimensional operation unit is defined as the vertical direction of the screen, an operation without shifting in the horizontal direction is possible. Therefore, alignment becomes easy. Further, since the position adjustment operation is more required in the direction of the narrower screen width, the operation becomes easier by defining the one-dimensional display direction in the direction of the narrower screen width.

  The display object of the present invention can also be a pointer image that moves in a moving manner on a predetermined operation image displayed on the screen of the display device. In this case, a predetermined movement order determined for a plurality of operation images can be associated with the one-dimensional operation direction. For example, in the case of a Japanese syllabary input screen or the like, “A line” is displayed in order in the vertical direction, “K line” is displayed in order adjacent to the left side, and each line is displayed in the same manner. For this reason, the so-called “Aiueo Kakuke ...”, so-called “Aiueo order”, is associated with the one-dimensional operation direction, and it is determined that the pointer image moves sequentially in accordance with “Aiueo order” on these operation images. Can do. As a result, the pointer image advances in the order of “A line” from top to bottom, and further to “F” in the upper left, and from “F” to the bottom. It can be moved only in either the forward or reverse direction. Since the order is determined, it is only necessary to perform an operation for sending the pointer image to the designated position desired by itself, so that the operation is easy.

  By the way, the one-dimensional operation unit of the present invention has a rotation operation member having a rotation operation member that can be rotated in both forward and reverse directions around a predetermined rotation axis perpendicular to the swing axis of the two-dimensional operation unit. As the operation surface, the exposed surface exposed from the main surface of the operation knob is defined as the operation surface, and the one-dimensional operation defined in the two-dimensional operation surface is defined as the rotation operation. A rotation feed operation or a rotation return operation with respect to the operation surface along the direction is determined, and the rotation displacement of the rotation operation member due to the rotation operation can be detected as the operation displacement. The rotation operation member can be formed in a wheel shape, for example. Conventionally, such a wheel-type rotation operation unit has been attached to a substrate whose posture of the operation unit body does not change by operation, such as a mouse of a personal computer, and the like. On the other hand, even if it was installed, the operability was considered to be poor, and there were no cases where it was applied. The above-described configuration of the present invention finds out that the one-dimensional operation unit is an operation unit having excellent operability by providing the one-dimensional operation unit at the tip of the swinging shaft portion that causes the tilt displacement in the two-dimensional operation unit, particularly the tip surface thereof. This has been achieved. Further, in recent vehicles, a large number of operation units are arranged due to the installation of various new functions, and it is becoming difficult to secure a space for arranging a new operation unit in the vehicle interior. The above-mentioned configuration is added without securing a new space in the passenger compartment because the wheel-type operation unit that forms the one-dimensional operation unit is provided on the stick-shaped swing operation unit that constitutes the two-dimensional operation unit. There is also an advantage that an operation section can be provided.

  Further, the rotation operation member has, for example, a rotation trajectory in which an exposed surface forming an operation surface of the one-dimensional operation unit appears as a plane parallel to the main surface of the operation knob of the two-dimensional operation unit, and follows the rotation trajectory. And can be rotated. As a result, the operation surface can be lengthened and a long stroke operation can be performed, so that an operation with a large amount of operation can be performed.

  Moreover, the above-described rotary operation unit can be provided with guide wall portions that protrude from the operation surface at both end positions in a direction perpendicular to the one-dimensional operation direction of the operation surface. For example, a groove formed so that a user's finger can be fitted is provided on the main surface of the operation knob, and the rotation operation member is exposed at the bottom surface of the groove. Since the one-dimensional operation unit is operated by the finger of the user's hand holding the two-dimensional operation unit, a guide wall portion is formed as a guide for positioning the finger on the rotation operation member of the wheel-type operation unit. Thus, the position of the rotation operation member can be grasped without being visually recognized, and the operation in the one-dimensional operation direction can be guided and easily performed.

  In addition, in the configuration including the rotary operation unit, it is possible to include a rotation operation force sense applying unit that applies a predetermined force sense when the user performs a predetermined amount of rotation operation on the rotation operation member. Thereby, since the user can recognize the operation amount of the rotary operation unit by force, it is easy to operate.

  In addition, the one-dimensional operation unit has a touch operation surface as an operation surface, and a touch movement operation that moves while touching the touch operation surface is performed, and movement of the touch movement operation in the one-dimensional operation direction is performed. It can be set as the touchpad type operation part from which a displacement is detected as an operation displacement. Conventionally, the touch pad type operation unit is attached to the object whose posture of the operation unit body does not change by operation, such as a notebook computer, etc. Even if it was installed, the operability was considered to be poor, and there were no cases where it was applied. In the configuration of the present invention described above, the one-dimensional operation unit is provided at the tip of the swing operation unit that causes the tilt displacement in the two-dimensional operation unit, in particular, the front end surface thereof. By detecting only the movement displacement in the direction, it has been determined that the operation unit is more excellent in operability, and this is realized. Further, in recent vehicles, a large number of operation units are arranged due to the installation of various new functions, and it is becoming difficult to secure a space for arranging a new operation unit in the vehicle interior. In the configuration of the present invention, a touch operation surface (touch pad) that forms a one-dimensional operation unit is provided on a stick-like swing operation unit that forms a two-dimensional operation unit. There is also an advantage in that it is not necessary to ensure.

  The touch operation surface of the touch pad type operation unit can be formed on the entire main surface of the operation knob of the two-dimensional operation unit. Since the entire main surface of the operation knob touched by the user's hand operating the two-dimensional operation unit is a touch operation surface, any part can detect an operation in the one-dimensional operation direction. Excellent in properties.

  On the other hand, the touch operation surface of the touch pad type operation unit can be formed in a rectangular shape whose width in the one-dimensional operation direction is longer than the width in the direction perpendicular to the one-dimensional operation direction. Thereby, in the touch operation surface formed in a plane, the one-dimensional operation direction coincides with the long side direction, so that the user can easily recognize the one-dimensional operation direction. Further, since a wide operation range is ensured in the one-dimensional operation direction, a long operation stroke can be ensured, and an operation with a large amount of operation is also possible.

  In addition, the touch operation surface of the touch pad type operation unit can be provided with guide wall portions that protrude from both end edge positions in a direction perpendicular to the one-dimensional operation direction. For example, a groove formed so that a user's finger can be fitted can be provided on the main surface of the operation knob, and a touch operation surface can be provided on the bottom surface of the groove. Thereby, it is easy to grasp the position of the touch operation surface on the operation knob, and the groove side surface becomes a guide wall portion for the touch movement operation, and the operation is also easy.

  Further, in the configuration in which the touch pad type operation unit is provided, it is possible to include a force sensation applying unit at the time of touch operation that gives a predetermined force sense as the user touches the touch operation surface. Thereby, since the user can recognize the first touch operation for starting the touch movement operation on the touch operation surface, when the user touches the touch operation surface by mistake, the user can recognize this.

  In addition, in the configuration in which the touch pad type operation unit is provided, the force sensation at the time of the touch movement operation that gives a predetermined force sense when the user performs the touch movement operation that causes a predetermined amount of movement displacement with respect to the touch operation surface. Means may be provided. Thereby, since the user can recognize the operation amount to the touch operation surface by force sense, it is easy to operate.

  Further, the one-dimensional operation unit can be a push-type operation unit in which a push operation member is provided on the front end surface of the operation knob of the two-dimensional operation unit, and display is performed according to the push operation to the push operation unit. A predetermined display object displayed on the screen of the device is moved in either one of the predetermined one-dimensional display directions in the screen in the forward or reverse direction, or a plurality of control contents whose switching order is defined in advance are changed to the switching order. It can be configured to switch to either one of the forward and reverse directions. Since the push operation is not an operation in both the forward and reverse directions, the display object can be moved and the control object can be switched with the direction fixed to one of them.

  By the way, the operation surface of the one-dimensional operation part of this invention can be formed in multiple numbers on the operation knob of a two-dimensional operation part. The operability can be increased by increasing the number of places to operate in a one-dimensional direction.

  Further, the operation surfaces of the plurality of one-dimensional operation units can be arranged so that the one-dimensional operation directions are parallel to each other. The one-dimensional operation unit of the present invention, which is assumed to be operated with a finger, may have different fingers to be used depending on the user. Operation becomes easier. By providing at least operation surfaces corresponding to the index finger and the middle finger that are easily used for the operation, the operation becomes easier.

  On the other hand, the operation surfaces of the plurality of one-dimensional operation units can be arranged on the operation knob of the two-dimensional operation unit so that the one-dimensional operation directions are different from each other. Further, the operation surfaces of the plurality of one-dimensional operation units can be set so that the one-dimensional display directions are different from each other. Thus, by properly using the one-dimensional operation unit suitable for the application, the position instruction to the target position becomes easy. In particular, these one-dimensional operation units are arranged so that their one-dimensional operation directions are different from each other, and further, by setting them so that their one-dimensional display directions are different, fine adjustment operations in different directions are possible. Become.

  Further, the operation surfaces of the plurality of one-dimensional operation units can be set so that the one-dimensional operation directions are orthogonal to each other, and the one-dimensional display directions are also orthogonal to each other. More specifically, by making the one-dimensional direction of the two one-dimensional operation parts two orthogonal directions, a fine operation in these directions can be easily performed. When moving a pointer image or the like within a rectangular display screen, it is often required to select an inputable area arranged vertically and horizontally. In this case, the vertical movement and horizontal movement of the pointer are the basic operations. Since the accuracy of each is important (especially the accuracy of movement in the short axis direction: the accuracy of vertical movement in the case of a horizontally long screen), it is easy to operate if both of them are possible. Design features can also be obtained. In particular, when two touch operation surfaces are provided in the touch pad type operation unit and a cross-shaped operation surface in which the long side directions are orthogonal to each other is formed, the design features become more prominent.

  In addition, when providing operation surfaces of a plurality of one-dimensional operation parts, the long side directions of each other are formed orthogonally, and one orthogonal operation surface is one end part in the long side direction of the other operation surface It can be formed in a shape that is offset to the side. The one-dimensional operation unit of the present invention, which is assumed to be operated with a finger, may have different fingers to be used depending on the user. Operation becomes easier. However, in the hand holding the operation knob of the two-dimensional operation unit, the four fingers of the index finger, the middle finger, the ring finger, and the little finger are located on the back side of the main surface of the operation knob and moved from there to the front side in the vertical direction. While the operation is easy to perform, the thumb is positioned on the left and right side surfaces of the main surface of the operation knob, and the lateral operation of moving to the opposite side surface from there is easy to perform. Furthermore, the position of the thumb is likely to be slightly in front of the center position of the main surface of the operation knob. Accordingly, the operation surfaces of the fingers other than the thumb are all arranged in the vertical direction so that they are parallel to each other, and with respect to the thumb, the horizontal direction is perpendicular to this, and the position is in front of the center in the vertical direction. By disposing in a one-dimensional operation unit, the operability with a finger is excellent.

  By the way, when a position indication image such as a pointer image is defined as a predetermined display object displayed on the screen of the display device, the vehicle operating device of the present invention is indicated by the position indication image on the screen of the display device. A position designation input operation unit for performing position designation input with respect to the selected position can be provided. As a result, not only an operation for instructing a position on the screen by the position instruction image but also an input operation for an operation image (icon) or the like displayed on the screen can be performed.

  In this case, by configuring the one-dimensional operation unit so that the two-dimensional operation unit can be pressed in the swing axis direction, the position designation input operation unit can be used as the one-dimensional operation unit. The pressing operation can be determined as the position designation input operation. The position designation input operation is an operation for determining an input (position designation input) at a position designated by a pointer image or the like on the screen. Such a position designation input operation is an operation that should be performed immediately when a target position is designated during the position designation operation by the one-dimensional operation unit. With the above configuration, the position designation input operation can be performed immediately by simply pressing the operated one-dimensional operation unit as it is. In the case of the wheel type operation unit, the wheel member is pressed and displaced in the swing axis direction. In the case of the touch pad type operation unit, the entire touch panel forming the touch operation surface is pressed and displaced in the swing axis direction. It becomes operation. In the case of the touch pad type operation unit, the position instruction input operation may be an operation of touching the touch operation surface twice within a predetermined period.

  The two-dimensional operation unit according to the present invention has an inclination displacement detection that detects an inclination displacement of the oscillating shaft portion that occurs when the user operates the operation knob inside the operation device main body that swayably supports the oscillating shaft portion. It can comprise and comprise a part. At this time, the one-dimensional operation unit includes a one-dimensional operation member on which an operation surface is formed and an operation target by the user, an operation amount detection unit that detects an operation amount performed on the one-dimensional operation member, and the detected operation A signal output unit that outputs an operation signal based on the amount, and a bendable extension that extends toward the operation device body in order to input the output operation signal to a main control circuit unit built in the operation device body And a signal wiring portion made of a member. Thereby, a signal can be stably transmitted to the operating device body side without obstructing the tilt displacement accompanying the operation to the two-dimensional operation unit.

  In this case, the operation knob of the two-dimensional operation unit accommodates the operation surface of the one-dimensional operation member exposed on the main surface side, and further accommodates the one-dimensional operation detection unit and the signal output unit. Can be configured to form a body. In the case of recent vehicles, considering that it is difficult to secure a space in the vehicle interior, the above configuration contributes to space saving because the detection unit and the signal output unit are arranged in the knob. Further, the signal wiring part can be configured to extend to the outside from the signal output part through a wiring hole penetrating the main back surface of the casing. Thereby, the exposure of the signal wiring part to the outside can be greatly reduced, and it becomes difficult to cause a decrease in design.

  The operation knob of the two-dimensional operation unit can be formed with an outer peripheral wall portion extending from the outer peripheral edge of the main surface to which the operation surface of the one-dimensional operation unit is exposed to the swing center side of the swing shaft portion. As a result, the two-dimensional operation part can be operated in such a manner that the outer peripheral wall part of the operation knob serves as a holding part of the user's hand, and further, the one-dimensional operation part of the main surface of the operation knob can be operated with the fingers of the hand. It is also possible to operate. The outer peripheral wall portion can be formed, for example, as a wall portion whose outer peripheral surface is perpendicular to the main surface of the operation knob.

  Hereinafter, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an operation structure portion (hereinafter also referred to as a main body portion) of the vehicle operating device of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a plan view of the main body portion 100 with the movable operation portion 110 removed. is there. As shown in FIG. 37, the vehicle operating device 1A (1) is fixed to the side of the driver seat DS at the center console C in the passenger compartment of the automobile, and is operated from either the driver seat DS or the passenger seat PS user. It is possible. The purpose of use is not particularly limited. For example, while viewing the screen of a monitor (display device) 51 provided in the center console, the display position of a predetermined display object displayed on the screen is moved on the screen. Operation (display position movement operation), operation for position designation input of the operation image displayed on the screen (position designation input operation), and further, a plurality of control contents in which a switching order is defined in advance. An operation unit for performing an operation (control content switching operation) for switching in either the forward or reverse direction of the switching order, for performing a functional operation of the car navigation device or the car audio device. The display target may be a pointer image P displayed on the screen or a scroll image (an image that is partially displayed in a partial area of the screen, or an image that is partially displayed in the entire area of the screen. Can be assumed).

  The main body 100 of the vehicular operating device 1 includes a movable operation unit (operation knob) 110 that is held by a user to perform a two-dimensional operation, and a two-dimensional operation displacement (operation amount) generated in the movable operation unit 110. ) Is transmitted to a swing shaft (stick-type swing shaft portion) 114S supported so as to be swingable by a joystick main body (operation device main body) 114 via a displacement transmission mechanism 102. It is configured. That is, the two-dimensional operation unit 200 includes the movable operation unit 110, the displacement transmission mechanism 102, and the swing shaft 114S, and displays the display position of a predetermined display target displayed on the monitor 51 on the screen. Thus, it is configured as an operation unit for performing a two-dimensional operation that moves in a two-dimensional direction. The movable operation unit 110 is attached to the distal end of the swing shaft 14S via the displacement transmission mechanism 102, and an operation in which the hand is attached to the distal end surface 110a is assumed. However, the operation range of the movable operation unit 110 is defined within a predetermined two-dimensional operation surface. The main surface 110a of the movable operation unit 110 is a flat surface or curved surface perpendicular to the swing axis of the swing shaft 114 in the neutral state of the swing shaft 114 and the displacement transmission mechanism 102. Here, the curved surface extends in the moving direction of the movable operation unit 110a. Thereby, the user can be aware of the two-dimensional operation direction of the movable operation unit 110 from its shape. Also, a later-described bezel 116 whose upper portion is covered by the movable operation unit 110 is also formed as the same curved surface.

  The two-dimensional operation on the movable operation unit 110 here is a direction corresponding to the direction in which the predetermined display target displayed on the screen should be moved from a predetermined neutral angle position of the swing axis of the swing shaft 114S. The operation result is transmitted to the joystick body 114 as operation information.

  The operation direction of the movable operation unit 110 is determined in a two-dimensional plane having two axes, a Y direction that coincides with the vehicle traveling direction (vehicle longitudinal direction) and an X direction that coincides with the vehicle width direction (vehicle lateral direction). The displacement transmission mechanism 102 includes a Y-direction sliding mechanism that slides in the Y direction in response to an operation displacement of the movable operation unit 110, and an X-direction sliding mechanism that similarly slides in the X direction.

  In the screen of the monitor 51, the direction corresponding to the Y direction that is the operation direction of the movable operation unit 110 is the vertical direction of the screen (the vehicle vertical direction), and on the other hand, the X direction that is the operation direction of the movable operation unit 110. The direction corresponding to is the horizontal direction of the screen (the vehicle left-right direction). Thereby, for example, in order to move the pointer image P displayed on the screen in the vertical direction by the movable operation unit, the movable operation unit 110 is operated in the Y direction, and the pointer image P displayed on the screen is also displayed on the movable operation unit. When moving in the horizontal direction by the screen 110, the movable operation unit 110 is operated in the X direction.

  FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view of the main body 100, and includes a lower case 115 attached to a vehicle-side base by a screw (fastening member) 115 t so that the joystick main body 114 is accommodated in the lower case 115. It has become. The structure of the joystick main body 114 is well known, and the lower end of the swing shaft 114S is connected to a biaxial universal joint (not shown) in the main body case 114M, and swings independently around the two rotation axes of the universal joint. It is possible. One of these swing directions coincides with the aforementioned X direction and the other coincides with the Y direction. In addition, the two-dimensional operation unit 200 of the present embodiment is configured as a haptic operation device. Specifically, as shown in the block diagram of FIG. 7, the rotational displacement of each axis of the universal joint is detected independently by the X direction rotation sensor 81 and the Y direction rotation sensor 82, respectively, while each axis is illustrated.

Here, the rotation operation member 311 is provided with a plurality of transmission portions (not shown) that can transmit infrared rays at predetermined intervals along a circular arc path along the circumferential direction. The part 314b is disposed opposite to the arc path. As the rotation operation member 311 rotates, the receiving unit 314b intermittently receives infrared rays transmitted from the transmission unit 314a.

  FIG. 7 shows a system configuration example of the vehicle operating device 1 of the present embodiment. The main body 100 of the operating device has a communication interface 85, and the CPU 80 is connected via the communication interface 85 to the multiplex communication line 90 on the automobile side via the connector 114c in FIG. The multiplex communication line 90 is connected to a car navigation system 50 (including a navigation ECU 52 and a monitor (display: display means) 51 and a storage device 53 connected thereto).

  The angle detection values of the X direction rotation sensor 81 and the Y direction rotation sensor 82 indicating the operation displacement in the X direction and the Y direction to the movable operation unit 110 are converted into XY two-dimensional input coordinate values by the CPU 80, for example, In order to use it for moving the position of a predetermined display target on the monitor 51 of the car navigation device 50, it is sent to the navigation ECU 52 via the multiplex communication line 90.

  Similarly, the angle detection value of the wheel rotation sensor 304 indicating the rotation operation displacement (operation amount) of the rotation operation member 311 accompanying the rotation operation to the rotation operation unit 300A is converted into a one-dimensional input coordinate value in the Y direction by the CPU 80. After being converted, for example, it is sent to the navigation ECU 51 via the multiplex communication line 90 to be used for moving the position of a predetermined display target on the monitor 51 of the car navigation device 50, switching the control content, or the like.

  On the other hand, the navigation ECU 52 inputs an XY two-dimensional input coordinate value detected as an operation amount of the two-dimensional operation unit 200 and a one-dimensional input coordinate value detected in the Y direction as an operation amount of the one-dimensional operation unit 300. On the other hand, the operation restriction process shown in FIGS. 14 and 15 and FIG. 16 is performed, and the one-dimensional operation is invalidated according to the situation.

  The process of FIG. 14 is executed in accordance with the switching of the display screen of the monitor 51. In S1, the screen data to be displayed next is read. In S2, it is determined whether or not the operation image (operation area) I set on the screen is equal to or smaller than a predetermined size based on the read screen data. When the operation image (operation area) I set on the screen is equal to or smaller than a predetermined size, the process proceeds to S3, while both the operations of the one-dimensional operation unit 300 and the two-dimensional operation unit 200 are enabled. If the predetermined size is exceeded, the process proceeds to S4, where only the operation of the two-dimensional operation unit 200 is validated and the operation of the one-dimensional operation unit 300 is invalidated. Then, the next screen is displayed based on the screen data read in S1 in S5.

  The processing in FIG. 15 is also executed in accordance with the switching of the display screen of the monitor 51. In S11, data of the screen to be displayed next is read out. In S12, based on the read screen data, it is determined whether or not the scroll operation area S exists on the screen. If the scroll operation area S exists, the process proceeds to S13, and both the operations of the one-dimensional operation unit 300 and the two-dimensional operation unit 200 are validated. On the other hand, if the scroll operation area S does not exist, the process proceeds to S14. Only the operation of the two-dimensional operation unit 200 is validated and the operation of the one-dimensional operation unit 300 is invalidated. Then, the next screen is displayed based on the screen data read in S1 in S15.

  Note that whether to enable or disable the one-dimensional operation unit 300 and the two-dimensional operation unit 200 is determined and determined in advance for each screen without performing determination based on image data as described above. You may make it set validation / invalidation according to the contents. However, as a determination method, both the operations of the one-dimensional operation unit 300 and the two-dimensional operation unit 200 are effective on the screen having the operation image I exceeding the predetermined size and the screen having the scroll operation area S. In other screens, only the operation of the two-dimensional operation unit 200 may be set to be valid.

  If it is determined in S12 that the scroll operation area S exists, an operation restriction process related to the one-dimensional operation unit 300 shown in FIG. 16 is performed after the next screen display.

  That is, in S21, the current designated position of the pointer image P whose position can be moved on the screen of the monitor 51 by the two-dimensional operation unit 200 on the screen of the monitor 51 is positioned on the scroll display area SD where scroll display is possible. It is determined whether or not to do. When the current designated position of the pointer image P is located on the scroll display area SD, the process proceeds to S22, and the operation mode of the one-dimensional operation unit 300 is set to the scroll display mode. Thereby, the scroll image displayed in the scroll display area SD is scrolled in a predetermined one-dimensional display direction (corresponding to the one-dimensional operation direction) in accordance with the operation amount to the one-dimensional operation unit 300. The display contents in the display area S can be changed. On the other hand, if the current designated position of the pointer image P is not located on the scroll display area SD, the process proceeds to S23.

  In S23, it is determined whether or not the current designated position of the pointer image P is located on the control content switching area SC where the control content can be switched in a predetermined order. When the current designated position of the pointer image P is located on the control content switching area SC, the process proceeds to S24, and the operation mode of the one-dimensional operation unit 300 is set to the control content switching mode. Thereby, the control content information indicating the control content displayed in the control content switching area SC is set according to a predetermined order (corresponding to the one-dimensional operation direction direction) according to the operation amount of the one-dimensional operation unit 300. It becomes possible to switch sequentially, and it becomes possible to implement the control content corresponding to the displayed control content information. The control content may be implemented as the display is switched, or the control content corresponding to the upper part of the currently displayed control content may be performed by a position instruction operation on another execution operation image. Good. On the other hand, if the current designated position of the pointer image P is not located on the control content switching area SC, the process proceeds to S25.

  In S25, when the current instruction position of the pointer image P is not located on the control content switching area SD, the operation mode of the one-dimensional operation unit 300 is set to the position instruction mode. Thereby, the pointer image P displayed on the screen of the monitor 51 can be moved in a predetermined one-dimensional display direction according to the operation amount of the one-dimensional operation unit. In the one-dimensional display direction in the position indication mode, the rectangular screen on which the pointer image P is displayed may be set to the smaller one of the vertical direction and the horizontal direction.

  The operation (one-dimensional operation) on the one-dimensional operation unit 300 is performed by moving the scroll operation region S such as the scroll display region SD or the control content switching region SC by an operation (two-dimensional operation) on the two-dimensional operation unit 200. It may be validated only when the position is indicated by a possible pointer image P.

The scroll operation area S is a scroll display area SD in which a list of purpose search results is displayed. A part of a predetermined scroll image is displayed in a predetermined display area. Scroll operation for moving a scroll image within a predetermined display area by a scrolling operation by a position designation input operation by the two-dimensional operation unit 200 to a scroll operation operation image I (IS) associated with the scroll operation. Can be implemented. Further, in the operation image I displayed as a list in the scroll display area SD as the purpose search result, position information corresponding to each is displayed, and the position is designated by the position designation input operation to any of them. The control content specified in is set.

Touch operation surfaces 321a1, 321a2, 321a3, and 321a4 are provided as predetermined partial areas, and the operation input is invalidated even if a touch movement operation is performed on the remaining areas.

  In the above-described embodiment, the one-dimensional operation unit 300 is fixedly arranged with respect to the movable operation unit 110 of the two-dimensional operation unit 200. However, the arrangement position may be customized. For example, an operation surface settable area that can be set as the operation surface 301a of the one-dimensional operation unit 300 is formed on the main surface 110a of the movable operation unit 110, and a plurality of operation surface settings are set in the operation surface settable area.

Set in advance. As a display screen of the monitor 51, an operation surface setting screen for customizing the position of the operation surface of the one-dimensional operation unit 300 is prepared in advance. For example, a screen 507 shown in FIG. 35 can be displayed on the operation surface setting screen. On the operation surface setting screen 507, an area 517a corresponding to the actual operation surface setting possible area 310a is displayed, and areas 507a1 to 507a4 corresponding to the operation surface setting expected areas 321a1 to 321a4 are also displayed on the operation surface. It is displayed in the area 517a in a form reflecting the positional relationship of the operation surface setting expected areas 321a1 to 321a4 with respect to the settable area 320a. Then, by accepting an area selection operation for selecting one or a plurality of the displayed areas 507a1 to 507a4, the operation surface setting expected areas 321a1 to 321a4 corresponding to the selected areas 507a1 to 507a4 are touched. The operation surface setting expected area corresponding to the remaining area that is set to enable the function as the surface 321a is set so that the function as the touch operation surface 321a is disabled, and these settings are set. Information is stored in a storage device (storage unit such as a ROM or a non-volatile memory) 89 connected to the CPU 80.

  Display information for displaying the operation surface setting screen 507 is stored in a storage device (storage unit such as a ROM or a nonvolatile memory) 53 connected to the CPU of the navigation ECU 52, and the operation surface setting screen is displayed. At the time of display 507, the data is read out by the CPU, and display control based on this is executed. Further, preset setting information such as the correspondence between the areas 507a1 to 507a4 and the operation surface setting expected areas 321a1 to 321a4 and the one-dimensional operation direction of each operation surface setting expected area 321a1 to 321a4 is stored in the CPU 80 of the main body 100. It is stored in a storage device (ROM, non-volatile memory or the like) 89 connected to, and is referred to when setting the validation / invalidation of the operation surface setting expected areas 321a1 to 321a4. The storage unit 89 also stores setting results of validation / invalidation set for each of the operation surface setting expected areas 321a1 to 321a4. When a touch movement operation is performed on each of them, the CPU 80 Determines validation / invalidation based on the setting result, and performs control reflecting this.

Then, the operation surface 301a of the one-dimensional operation unit 300 can be set to the designated region in such a manner that the region is designated on the operation surface settable region.

  More specifically, as shown in FIG. 34 (b), the entire main surface 101a of the movable operation unit 101 is an operation surface settable region 320a (reference numerals 321a1 to 321a4) that can set the operation surface 321a. The touch operation surface of the touch panel 301 is formed in advance in the region 320a. Then, for example, an operation surface setting screen 508 shown in FIG. 36 is displayed as the display screen of the monitor 51. On the operation surface setting screen 508, an area 518a corresponding to the actual operation surface setting possible area 320a is displayed. In this area 518a, an area designating operation for designating one or more areas is accepted. The operation surface setting corresponding to the remaining area which is set so that the function as the touch operation surface 321a is activated for the area on the operation surface setting possible area 320a corresponding to the area 518a1 or 518a2 that has been selected. For the prospective area, the function as the touch operation surface 321a is set to be invalidated, and the setting information is stored in a storage device (storage unit such as a ROM or a non-volatile memory) 89 connected to the CPU 80. .

  Thereby, when a touch movement operation is performed on the operation surface in which the function as the touch operation surface is enabled, display movement control and control content switching control corresponding to the detected operation displacement are performed, When a touch movement operation is performed on an operation surface whose function as a touch operation surface is invalidated, display movement control and control content switching control corresponding to the detected operation displacement are not performed. The invalidation may be performed in such a manner that control corresponding to the detected operation displacement is prohibited, or detection of the operation displacement itself may be stopped.

  Note that the region designation operation is performed, for example, by moving a frame image for region designation displayed as the operation surface setting screen 508 is displayed, and as the position of the frame image is determined, The inside of the frame image can be set as the operation surface. The movement of the frame image may be performed by the above-described position designation input operation to the operation image I for movement.

  Display information for displaying the operation surface setting screen 508 is stored in a storage device (storage unit such as a ROM or a nonvolatile memory) 53 connected to the CPU of the navigation ECU 52, and the operation surface setting screen is displayed. In the case of the display of 508, the data is read by the CPU, and display control based on this is executed. Furthermore, the setting result of validation / invalidation set by the area designation operation is stored in a storage device (ROM, non-volatile memory, etc.) 89 connected to the CPU 80 of the main body 100, and the operation surface setting is performed. When a touch movement operation is performed on the possible area 310a, the CPU 80 determines whether the operation is valid / invalid based on the setting result, and performs control reflecting this.

  In the embodiment shown in FIG. 35 and FIG. 36, the navigation ECU 52 and the CPU 80 of the main body 100 cooperate with each other to function as operation surface position customizing means, and the screen display on the monitor 51 and the two-dimensional operation unit 200 Customization is performed using operation input.

  The vehicular operating device 1C (1) of the third embodiment is provided with a push-type operating unit 300C as the one-dimensional operating unit 300. The push type operation unit 300 </ b> C has a push operation member 330 provided on the distal end surface 110 a of the movable operation unit 110 of the two-dimensional operation unit 200. In the push operation member 330, a predetermined one-dimensional display direction is set as a moving direction of a predetermined display target (for example, pointer image P or scroll image) displayed on the screen of the monitor 51. The display object can be moved only in the direction.

  A fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 28 is a perspective view showing an operation structure portion (hereinafter also referred to as a main body portion) of the vehicle operating device of the fourth embodiment, FIG. 29 is an exploded perspective view of the movable operation portion, and FIG. 28 is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA in FIG. 28 (cross section similar to FIG. 5), FIG. 31 is a cross-sectional view taken along line BB in FIG. 28 (cross section similar to FIG. 6), and FIG. It is a block diagram which shows the whole structure concept of an operating device.

  The vehicle operating device 1D (1) according to the fourth embodiment is configured to include a rotary operation unit, as in the first embodiment described above, but the rotation trajectory is different. The operation surface (exposed surface) of the rotation operation member 341 is a rotary operation unit 300 </ b> D having a non-circular rotation path that appears as a plane parallel to the main surface 110 a of the movable operation unit 110. In the present embodiment, a belt member 341 is disposed on the outer periphery of a plurality of bearing members 342 fixed to the movable operation unit 110 so as to surround them. Of the belt member 341, an exposed portion exposed on the upper end side is an operation surface 341a. By operating the belt in the rotation direction while pressing the operation surface 341a, the belt member 341 rotates. Moves in either forward or reverse direction. This movement displacement is detected by the belt rotation sensor 344. Here, the rotation sensor is a sensor that detects the rotation of the outer ring (rotating ring) of the bearing 342 that rotates as the belt member 341 moves, and the detection method may be the same as the wheel rotation sensor described above. it can.

  In the present embodiment, as in the first embodiment, the push switch 230 is pressed and biased by pressing the rotation operation member 341 downward. The rotation operation member 341 is supported on the substrate 240 or the operation cover 220 in a form of being urged upward by an urging means (not shown), and is moved downward against the urging force of the urging means by the pressing operation. The push switch 230 is configured to be displaced by the displacement.

  In the above embodiment, the position designation input operation unit is provided in both the two-dimensional operation unit 200 and the one-dimensional operation unit 100. However, the position designation input operation unit may be provided only in the one-dimensional operation unit 100.

  In the embodiment excluding FIG. 22 described above, only one operation surface of the one-dimensional operation unit is formed on the main surface 110a of the movable operation unit 110, but a plurality of operation surfaces may be formed. At this time, the plurality of one-dimensional operation units can be arranged so that the one-dimensional operation directions are different from each other, and further, the one-dimensional display directions corresponding to the one-dimensional operation directions may be set differently. Good. Further, a plurality of rotary operation units 300A and 300D may be provided on the main surface 110a of the movable operation unit 110, or different types of one-dimensional operation units 300 may be provided on the main surface 110a of the movable operation unit 110. Good.

  By the way, in the embodiment already described, when two push switches for performing the position designation input operation are provided, the operation stroke and the operation are prevented so that they are not operated at the same time, for example, as shown in FIG. The load setting can be made different. However, one push switch 106 is highly likely to be pressed when operating the two-dimensional operation unit 200, and the other push switch 230 is pressed when operating the one-dimensional operation unit 300. It is likely to be manipulated. That is, when a position designation operation is being performed by the two-dimensional operation unit 200 and a position designation input is to be performed immediately at the currently designated position, the push switch 106 is operated by a push operation that directly pushes the movable operation unit 110. Pressing and biasing can be performed more quickly and accurately than pressing the other push switch 230. On the other hand, when a position designation operation is being performed by the one-dimensional operation unit 300 and a position designation input is immediately made at the currently designated position, a push operation that pushes the operation surface 301a of the one-dimensional operation unit 300 as it is. Therefore, pressing and urging the push switch 230 can be performed more quickly and accurately than pressing the other push switch 106.

  For this reason, when the two-dimensional operation unit 200 is operated, the pressing force to the push switch 106 corresponding to the two-dimensional operation unit 200 is validated, and the push switch 230 corresponding to the one-dimensional operation unit 300 is activated. When the one-dimensional operation unit 300 is being operated, the push urging to the push switch 230 corresponding to the one-dimensional operation unit 300 is validated. The push urging to the push switch 106 corresponding to the two-dimensional operation unit 200 can be set to be invalidated. As a result, since the position instruction operation and the position designation input operation are performed by the same operation unit, the operation is easy to understand, and the two-dimensional operation unit 200 is erroneously pressed in the Z direction during the operation of the one-dimensional operation unit 300. It is possible to prevent an erroneous operation such that the one-dimensional operation unit 300 is pushed in the Z direction by mistake during the operation of the two-dimensional operation unit 200. More preferably, when the Z direction operation is performed on the one-dimensional operation unit 300, not only the corresponding push switch 230 is pressed and biased, but the two-dimensional operation unit 200 is excessively pushed in the Z direction, It is desirable to prevent an erroneous operation in which the other push switch 106 is also pressed and urged. Specifically, it can be realized by performing a Z-direction pressing operation process as shown in FIG.

  In S31, the CPU 80 determines whether or not the one-dimensional operation unit 300 is being operated based on the detection result of the one-dimensional operation detection unit. If it is determined that the operation is being performed, the process proceeds to S 32, and the push bias to the push switch 230 corresponding to the one-dimensional operation unit 300 is enabled and the push switch 106 corresponding to the two-dimensional operation unit 200 is activated. The pressing bias is invalidated, and the process proceeds to S38 in this state. As a result, even if the two-dimensional operation unit 200 is accidentally pushed in the Z direction during the operation of the one-dimensional operation unit 300, the pressing operation is invalidated. On the other hand, if it is determined in S31 that the one-dimensional operation unit 300 is not being operated, the process proceeds to S33.

  In S33, the CPU 80 determines whether or not the two-dimensional operation unit 200 is being operated based on the detection result of the two-dimensional operation detection unit. If it is determined that the operation is being performed, the process proceeds to S34, and the push bias to the push switch 106 corresponding to the two-dimensional operation unit 200 is enabled and the push switch 230 corresponding to the one-dimensional operation unit 300 is activated. The pressing bias is invalidated, and the process proceeds to S38 in this state. Accordingly, even if the one-dimensional operation unit 300 is accidentally pushed in the Z direction during the operation of the two-dimensional operation unit 200, the pressing operation is invalidated. On the other hand, if it is determined in S33 that the two-dimensional operation unit 200 is not being operated, the process proceeds to S35.

  In S35, the CPU 80 determines whether or not a predetermined period has elapsed after the one-dimensional operation unit 300 is operated. This means that as the one-dimensional operation unit 300 enters a non-operation state, time counting is started by a timer function provided in the CPU 80, and it is determined whether or not a predetermined period has elapsed from the count value. Here, the predetermined period is set to 2 sec. When it is determined that the predetermined period has not elapsed, the process proceeds to S36, where it is determined whether or not the one-dimensional operation unit 300 has been pressed in the Z direction. When the Z direction pressing operation is performed on the one-dimensional operation unit 300, the process proceeds to S37, and the push urging to the push switch 230 corresponding to the one-dimensional operation unit 300 is enabled and the two-dimensional operation unit 200 is supported. The pressing bias to the push switch 106 is invalidated, and the process proceeds to S38 in this state. As a result, when a Z-direction operation is performed on the one-dimensional operation unit 300, even if the two-dimensional operation unit 200 is pushed too much in the Z direction, the pressing operation on the two-dimensional operation unit 200 is invalidated. The If it is determined in S35 that the predetermined period has passed, if there is no Z-direction pressing operation on the one-dimensional operation unit 300 in S36, the one-dimensional operation unit 300 and the two-dimensional operation unit 200 The process proceeds to S38 while the pressing force applied to the corresponding push switches 230 and 106 is enabled.

  In S38, the CPU detects the pressing force on the push switches 230 and 106 based on the Z-direction pressing operation on the one-dimensional operation unit 300 or the two-dimensional operation unit 200, and when the pressing force is detected, Based on whether or not the push switch 230, 106 that has been pressed and biased is set to be invalidated, the push bias is invalidated if it is invalidated, and the push bias is valid if not invalidated. Regardless, implement the corresponding control.

  In subsequent S39, all invalidation settings are canceled, and then this processing is terminated. It should be noted that this process is repeatedly performed at a predetermined cycle even after completion.
