<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To facilitate operation of plural objects by selectively outputting an operation signal to the operation object corresponding to a recognized image pattern among the plural operation objects. SOLUTION: When a driver shows a specified sign (such as rising the forefinger) within a prescribed range with his hand or the like in an environment including plural operation objects 4-6 such as inside an automobile, the image of that specified sign is picked up by an image pickup means 1. Then, the pattern of the picked-up image is recognized by an image recognizing means 3, and an operation signal corresponding to the image pattern is selectively outputted through a switch driving circuit 7 to the operation objects 4-6 corresponding to the image pattern. Therefore, it is not necessary for the driver to perform operation while extending his hand to an operating switch provided on the operating objects 4-6 after visually confirming the position of that operating switch, and the plural objects 4-6 can be easily operated.</p> |
