A remote manipulation apparatus includes a touch sensor and a manipulation control circuit to detect manipulation on a manipulation surface using a manipulator's finger. The touch sensor and the manipulation control circuit can acquire a manipulation entity distance between the manipulation surface and the finger. When the manipulation entity distance is shorter than a first threshold distance, the manipulation control circuit associates the finger manipulation with a pointer control to move a pointer on a display screen. When the distance exceeds the first threshold distance, the manipulation control circuit associates the finger manipulation with a map control to move a map on the display screen. The manipulation control circuit stores a specified finger manipulation as an authorization manipulation. The association between the finger manipulation and the map control is inhibited until the authorization manipulation using the finger is performed. |
