<p>An interface device (15), comprising an operation knob outputting operation instruction signals to vehicle-mounted devices. The operation knob (30) comprises a palm rest part (30a) for placing the palm of an occupant thereon, and a switch (31) is disposed on the operation knob (30) in a range to which the finger tips of the occupant are accessible in such a state that the palm is placed on the palm rest part (30a). Since a position relation between the switch (31) and the finger tips is determined when the palm is placed on the palm rest part (30a), an erroneous operation can be prevented from occurring even if the switch (31) is operated without visually confirming the switch and the operability of the switch can be remarkably increased. Since the operation instruction signals are output to the vehicle-mounted devices by the inclination of the operation knob (30) supported tiltably in the longitudinal and lateral directions, a variety of operation instruction signals can be output by the operation of the switch (31).</p> |
