運転中の操作可能性を備えたハンドルを介した情報入力インタフェース

抄録

As technology of in-vehicle systems progresses, electronization of automobiles also progresses and services provided by the automobiles are sofisticated. As the services are sofisticated, interaction between the automobile and human driver becomes important more and more. For this purpose, we have proposed advanced information input interface to the automobiles with a string-like vibration sensor on steering wheel to which drivers always touch in driving. In this study, we propose advanced information input interface equipped with differential property sensor instead of proportional property senser used in previous system, capable of discriminating grip forces for driving and input operation, via steering wheel while driving. Efficiency of proposed system is confirmed through information input experiments using previous system and proposed system for two in-vehicle devices, that is, a radio and an air conditioner as operational objects.
