ON-VEHICLE INPUT DEVICE

Japanese Patent JP3850619

B2

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an on-vehicle input device excellent in operability and facilitating the selection of a desired on-vehicle electric apparatus and the function adjustment thereof by using a manual operation part only.
SOLUTION: A ROM 41 provided in a computer stores tables 45a, 45b, 45c, etc., expressing relations among the direction of operation of the manual operation part 3, the amount of operation thereof, and external force applied thereto by electric motors 19a, 19b. A CPU 41 determines the direction and size of external force to be loaded onto the operation part 3 base on positional information outputted from encoders 21a, 21b and on the tables 45a, 45b, 45c, etc., to drive the motors 19a, 19b by means of a motor driver 47. This enables an operator to take in a feel of resistance produced on the operation part 3 and to perform delicate operation of the operation part 3, thus facilitating the function adjustment of an on-vehicle electric apparatus. When the operation part 3 is operated to its movable limit, by loading a large external force thereon, the operator can take in the movable limit of the operation part 3, thus facilitating the selection of an on-vehicle electric apparatus.
