23a to 23d are mechanical switches which are operated by operating the shaft lever 22A to the front, rear, left and right,
Reference numerals 24a to 24d are springs that return the shaft lever 22A to the neutral origin position and manually turn off the mechanical switches 23a to 23d when the shaft lever 22A is manually operated up, down, left and right and then released. The above components constitute the basic structure of the joystick operation switch, but its shaft part has the same structure as that shown in FIG. 15, and its switch part is the same as that shown in FIG.

In addition, the connection relationship between the display device 2A and the controlled device is the same as in FIG. In addition, the arrangement of each device in the automobile is the same as that in FIG. 1, except that light is used instead of the connection electric wire 9.

FIG. 27 shows a flowchart of the control program stored in the ROM of the microcomputer in the display device 2A. In FIG. 27, step S12 is provided between step S1 and step S2, which is different from the flowchart of FIG. That is the point.

Next, the operation of the tenth embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 25 and 26. Usually shaft lever 2
If no force is applied to 2A, the springs 24a to 24d
By this action, the shaft lever 22A is in the neutral position. As a result, the mechanical switches 23a-23d are in the off state. When the shaft lever 22A is tilted to the front, rear, right or left, any of the mechanical switches 23a to 23d is turned on. Further, if the push button 42A is pushed, the push button type switch 41A which is normally turned off is displayed.
Turns on. Further, when the rotary knob 61 is rotated, the resistance value of the variable resistor 62 changes in conjunction with this.

It is sent to the optical element 102. As a result, the light transmitting element 102 transmits an optical signal,
This optical signal is received by the light receiving element 211 of the display device 2A through the light transmitting lens 103.

This optical signal received by the light receiving element 211 is photoelectrically converted by the action of the light receiving circuit 212, and the light receiving circuit 2
12 is transmitted to the microcomputer in the display device 2A. This microcomputer executes the flow chart of FIG. 27 by this input signal to control the controlled device.

Next, the operation will be described mainly using the flowchart of FIG. 27 and the operation screen of FIG. On the display device 2A of FIG. 26, the guide screen 25a of FIG. 10 is drawn together with the cursor 3i at the audio operation position at the time of the currently executed operation, for example, the audio operation (step S1). The shaft lever 22A of the joystick operation switch in FIG. 25 is at the neutral origin position, and the push button 42
When A is not pressed, it is determined whether or not the push button type switch 41A is turned on (step S12), and the result is No, and the push button type switch 41A is turned on by pressing the push button 42A again, which is the next determination. It is judged whether or not it has been performed (step S12). Here, push button 42A
When is pressed, the result of the determination is whether the push-button switch 41A is turned on (step S12), Yes.

At present, the shaft lever 22A is in the neutral origin position, and the mechanical switches 23a to 23d are springs 24a to 24d for returning the shaft lever 22A to the neutral origin position.
Is turned off by. Therefore, in the judgment as to whether the shaft lever position is right (step S2), the shaft lever 22A is in the neutral position, and therefore, in the next step, it is judged whether the shaft lever position is left (step S3).
Since the shaft lever 22A is neutral, the operation currently being executed, for example, the audio operation is continued (step S4),
The determination as to whether the push button switch 41A is turned on (step S12) is verified.

When the shaft lever 22A is tilted down to the right and the push button 42A is pressed, it is determined whether the shaft lever position is right (step S2), the result is Yes, and whether the current operation is the air conditioner or not. The judgment (step S8) is entered. Since the current operation is an audio operation, the determination is No, and the determination is whether or not the current operation is a map display (step S9).

Since the current operation is an audio operation,
The determination is No. Next, the air-conditioner operation (step S10) in the flow chart of FIG. 27 at the relative position from the audio operation of the guide screen of FIG. 10 of the display device 2A is executed.

The joystick operation switch shown in FIG. 25 is operated while interacting with the display device 2A, and the rotary knob 61 provided near the joystick operation switch is used.
The variable resistor 62 is interlocked by rotating the. The right rotation operation increases the resistance value of the variable resistor 62, and the left rotation operation decreases the resistance value of the variable resistor 62. Each time the resistance value of the variable resistor 62 changes due to the rotation operation, the signal processing electric circuit 101 converts the resistance value into a serial signal.

After the serial signal is converted into an optical signal by the light transmitting element 102, this optical signal is sent out to the display device 2A through the light transmitting lens 103, and is sent to the light receiving element 211 and the light receiving circuit 212 provided in the display device 2A. After receiving the light, it is converted into an electric signal and the audio volume is varied by an analog amount.

For example, when the operation of increasing the volume of the stereo device or the radio is performed, the rotary knob 61 is turned to the right to increase the resistance value of the variable resistor 62, and the operation of decreasing the volume of the stereo device or the radio is performed. By turning the expression knob 61 counterclockwise to decrease the resistance value of the variable resistor 62, an operation of lowering the volume of audio by the audio device can be performed.
