DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING DEVICE TO BE OPERATED IN VEHICLE, AND STEERING WHEEL

摘要

A touch sensor (21) is attached to a ring portion (200r) of a steering wheel (200). A sensor data generation unit (22) generates, based on a touch detection signal obtained from the touch sensor (21), sensor data including position data indicating which detection region is touched. A detection unit (10a) detects whether the driver grips the ring portion (200r) or not and an input operation to the touch sensor (21). When the driver grips the ring portion (200r) and it is detected that a specific input operation has been performed, a control unit (10) controls an in-vehicle device (100) according to the specific input operation.
