In a driving support device, an image output unit outputs an image including a vehicle object representing a vehicle and a peripheral situation of the vehicle, to a display unit. An operation signal input unit receives a gesture operation by a user that involves moving of the vehicle object in the image displayed on the display unit. A command output unit outputs a command according to the gesture operation, to an automatic driving control unit that controls automatic driving.

A device and a method for a human machine interface (HMI). The HMI device includes a dome having a hemispherical shape, a base attached to the dome forming an inverted cup like structure with a hollow interior, a chip scale lidar attached on the base and positioned to scan for a motion of an object external to the dome, at least one haptic device attached to the base and connected to the dome, and an HMI controller configured to send and receive signal from the chip scale lidar, detect and recognize a gesture based on the signal from the chip scale lidar, and activate or deactivate the at least one haptic device.

Provided with an input system including: a detection device that contains a detection sensor which detects a user operation and is arranged apart from a display device, and an output circuit which outputs detected information indicating the user operation detected by the detection sensor; an input device which inputs the detected information; and a control device that contains a control means implemented by a programmed processor which, when the user operation is judged to indicate an operation performed at a prescribed position on the basis of the detected information input by the input device, determines the display position of an indicator on a screen of the display device as a specific position.

The present invention provides a capacitive switch device comprising: a touch sensing unit (100) including a sensing electrode (110) and a transmission electrode (120), which are disposed on a substrate (2); and a touch control module (200) disposed on a substrate (2), and configured to confirm a manipulator's contact manipulation state based on a sensing signal from the touch sensing unit (100) and output a touch output signal, wherein the transmission electrode (120) outputs a transmission signal in response to a transmission control signal from the touch control module (200), and the sensing electrode (110) detects a signal in response to a sensing control signal from the touch control module (200) for application to the touch control module (200), and wherein the touch control module (200) activates the sensing electrode (110) and the transmission electrode (120) according to a preset mode, and a method for controlling the same.

An information playback system in a vehicle having a processor designed to generate a video or control signal and provide this signal to a display device so that the video or control signal causes a playback of at least two different contents in two adjoining subsurfaces of a display surface in a display device. The processor generates the video or control signal so that a boundary between the two subsurfaces can be shifted based on a selection detected by the display unit, or based on an approach detected by a display unit, or based on a predefined movement detected by an input device, resulting in modification of the ratio of the surface portions of the two subsurfaces on the display surface of the display device.

An optical system which is designed to detect a gesture, and a processing unit that is coupled to the optical system and is designed to analyze the detected gesture, are included in a gesture evaluation system. The gesture evaluation system furthermore has a utilization unit that is designed to save an evaluation that has been detected from the gesture together with evaluated information.

An object detection vision system and methods are disclosed. A method for detecting objects in a vision system of an industrial machine includes receiving image data from one or more vision cameras and receiving detection data from one or more detect devices.
