OPERATION SYSTEM FOR VEHICLE

摘要

An operation system for vehicle includes a longitudinal member, a movement detector, and a controller. The movement detector is provided to a tip of the longitudinal member and detects, in a sensing space set so as not to detect movement of hands or fingers of an operator who holds a steering wheel without intention of operating an in-vehicle device, an operation form when the operator operates the in-vehicle device. The controller transmits a command to the in-vehicle device based on an output signal of the movement detector. The movement detector includes a sensor having a light-emitting unit and a light-receiving unit, and a housing. The housing includes a non-transmission part and a transmission part that transmits light so that the light forms the sensing space.

1. An operation system for vehicle comprising:
a longitudinal member that is projected and extended from a steering column; a movement detector that is provided to a tip of the longitudinal member in a projecting direction, and is capable of detecting, in a sensing space within a predetermined range from the tip set so as not to detect movement of hands or fingers of an operator who holds a steering wheel without intention of operating an in-vehicle device, an operation form of the operator when the operator operates the in-vehicle device; and a controller configured to transmit a command to the in-vehicle device based on an output signal of the movement detector depending on the operation form of the operator, wherein the movement detector includes a sensor having a light-emitting unit and a light-receiving unit and a housing that accommodates the sensor, and the housing includes a non-transmission part that does not transmit the light, and a transmission part that transmits the light emitted from the sensor so that the light forms the sensing space.
