The present invention obtains an assistance system capable of assisting with function setting of a straddle-type vehicle by a rider, a portable wireless terminal used for such an assistance system, a control method for such an assistance system, a control method for such a portable wireless terminal, and a program run on such a portable wireless terminal.

In an assistance system (1), an acquisition section (51) of a portable wireless terminal (50) wirelessly acquires information on the function setting operated on an input device (11) of a straddle-type vehicle (10), and an input section (52) of the portable wireless terminal (50) provides a guidance corresponding to the information on the function setting operated on the input device (11) of the straddle-type vehicle (10) when accepting the operation of the function setting by the rider.

A steering column assembly module having an operating device for setting an operating parameter of a motor vehicle comprises a static central element that annularly surrounds a steering axis, and a recess, and has an elongated rotary element with a longitudinal axis, and comprises a grip section, and a bearing section that is fixedly connected to the grip section. In this context, the bearing section of the rotary element is disposed in the recess of the central element at least sectionally, and is mounted in the central element rotatably about the longitudinal axis, wherein a rotation sensor is configured to detect a rotational position of the rotary element, and in dependence upon the detected rotational position, to generate a control signal for setting the operating parameter.

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 control element (1) has a control panel (2) on a front side and a rear surface (3) on a rear side of the control element situated opposite the front side. The control element has a vibration actuator (4) operatively connected to a locally limited portion (5) of the control panel (2). Thus, a touch detected by a sensor on the locally limited portion (5) of the control panel (2) triggers a vibration of the vibration actuator (4). The vibration actuator (4) is connected indirectly, via a lever element (7), to the rear surface (3) on the rear side of the control panel (2). The lever element (7) transmits a vibration of the vibration actuator (4) to the rear surface (3) of the control element in the area of the locally limited portion (5) of the front side of the control panel (2).

There is provided an information processing device, an information processing method, and a program that enable information presentation with high usability. On the basis of presentation location information regarding a change in state of a presentation location where presentation information is presented and at least one piece of information out of processing information regarding processing for generating the presentation information, user information regarding a response of a user to the processing, and environment information regarding a state of an environment of the presentation location, control of at least one state of a presentation state of the presentation information and a state of the processing is performed. The present technology can be applied as a projection device for the inside of a vehicle, a conference room, or the like.

A steering apparatus of a smart mobility vehicle includes: a cockpit module disposed in front of a driver seat and a passenger seat within a vehicle; a steering wheel part connected to the cockpit module, and switchable between a position toward the driver seat and a position toward the passenger seat in a longitudinal direction of the cockpit module; and a locking part to fix the steering part according to a preset condition. The cockpit module includes a first flat section disposed in front of the driver seat and a second flat section disposed in front of the passenger seat; and a locking section curved upward to connect the first flat section and the second flat section.

When a screen to be displayed on a touch panel display includes no visual content for appreciation, such as a movie, the screen is displayed at a position closer to the user, at which the user can naturally manipulate the screen. When the screen includes a handwritten input acceptance box, the screen is placed at an upper position so that a handwriting input operation by the user is eased. When the screen includes visual content for appreciation, the screen is displayed at a position slightly distant from the user so as to be suitable for viewing the visual content for appreciation. The position suitable for appreciation is set according to the display size and resolution of the visual content, included in the screen, for appreciation.

An operating device for a steering wheel comprises an operating element, which can be selectively rotated about a first rotation axis and a second rotation axis for controlling a control system by means of an actuation, wherein the operating element can be rotated to an actuation stage from a starting position, wherein the first rotation axis is coaxial to the longitudinal axis of the operating element, and the second rotation axis is substantially transverse to the first rotation axis, wherein a force application point has a mechanical advantage with respect to the second rotation axis when actuated about the second rotation axis, and wherein the force application point has no substantial mechanical advantage in relation to the second rotation axis when the operating element is actuated about the first rotation axis, in order to prevent a simultaneous actuation of the operating element about the first and second rotation axes.
