There is provided a control device. An operation detector configured to detect a user's operation on an operation surface of a panel. A driving unit configured to vibrate the panel by driving a vibration element attached to the panel. Wherein when the operation is detected by the operation detector, the driving unit combines a sound signal of sound, which is to be generated from the panel by vibration of the panel, with a drive signal for generating, in the panel, haptic vibration to provide the user with vibration of a haptic sense, and outputs a combined signal to the vibration element, thereby generating the haptic vibration and the sound in the panel.

An input apparatus includes an operation interface configured to receive an input operation from a user, a piezoelectric element attached to the operation interface, and a controller configured to acquire output based on the input operation to the operation interface from the piezoelectric element and to execute different control with respect to a controlled apparatus in accordance with the output.

Provided is a display device to be provided in a vehicle, the display device including: a state acquisition unit configured to acquire a state of the vehicle; a conversion unit configured to convert a voice spoken in an online conference, in which an occupant of the vehicle participates, into text; and a display controller configured to display the text converted by the conversion unit on a display unit, wherein the display controller being configured to make display modes of the text converted by the conversion unit different from each other depending on the state of the vehicle acquired by the state acquisition unit.

A display control system causes a plurality of display devices to display a same application in coordination among a plurality of display control devices each of the plurality of display control devices includes an obtainer that obtains an input event that is an input to an application according to an operation; a processor that outputs the input event obtained to at least another one of the plurality of display control devices; and a notifier that notifies an application unit of the input event when the processor obtains the input event from a display control device which has output the input event among the plurality of display control devices. The application performs processing that is common among the plurality of the display control devices and for causing the plurality of display devices to display the same application.

The invention relates to a user interface for a vehicle adapted to present visible information; the user interface comprises a two-dimensional display for displaying information on a display portion, and an optical faceplate comprising a contact surface, a three-dimensional display surface for displaying information, and an optic light guide material provided between the contact surface and the three-dimensional display surface; wherein the two-dimensional display comprises a pixel arrangement and a cover layer covering the pixel arrangement; wherein the contact surface contacts the display to transmit information from the pixel arrangement to the three-dimensional display surface; wherein the faceplate is integrated into the display. The invention also relates to a vehicle.

An operation device includes an operation unit configured to be movable relative to a device body of the operation device. The operation device includes a first detector that detects touching of the operation unit and a second detector that detects movement of the operation unit relative to the device body. The operation device further includes a controller that processes detection signals of the first detector and the second detector so that the movement of the operation unit relative to the device body and the touching of the operation unit correspond to inputs for operating an operation subject apparatus.

A roof console for a vehicle has at least one touch-slide operating element for controlling functional elements of the vehicle. A touch-slide operating element in the sense of this application is a touch-sensitive operating element with a one-dimensional extent. As a result of the one-dimensional extent, the operating elements can beneficially recognize gestures in the form of tapping and swiping which permits excellent blind operation. The swiping movements can also be detected in both directions of the one-dimensional extent.

System including one or more touch-sensitive control surfaces on which control elements, which are arranged next to each other, are displayed. Using a control device with controller software, the control elements can determine amongst themselves via the controller software, when a respective control element should be active or deactivated when touched.

An operation device for an autonomous vehicle includes a touch panel configured to display at least one of a start button and a deceleration button, and a notification button on the same screen. The autonomous vehicle is autonomously drivable. The start button is a button for starting driving of the autonomous vehicle in an autonomous drive mode. The deceleration button is a button for decelerating the autonomous vehicle during the autonomous drive mode. The notification button is a button for performing notification to an outside of the autonomous vehicle.
