A control device comprising a control unit configured to control regular operation based on operation on a first switch detecting operation in two opposing directions and operation on a second switch detecting touch on an object, wherein the control unit performs control such that the regular operation based on operation on the second switch is not performed until a regular time set between first and second times passes after operation on the first switch is detected, wherein the first time is a time in which a cumulative occurrence rate at which unintended touch on the second switch by a user after operation on the first switch occurs becomes 100% in an experiment carried out in advance, and wherein the second time is a time in which an intended touch on the second switch by the user after operation on the first switch is first detected.

System, methods, and other embodiments described herein relate to providing visual feedback on a steering apparatus using a pscyhophysical model. In one embodiment, a method includes obtaining a difference between a current angle of a steering apparatus and a recommended angle of the steering apparatus. The method further includes determining an appearance parameter based upon the difference and a psychophysical model, wherein the psychophysical model optimizes a relationship between perceived light and the difference such that a change in the difference produces a proportional change in the perceived light. The method further includes illuminating a region of the steering apparatus with light based upon the appearance parameter.

A steering device includes a rotation central portion having a rotation axis Ax of the steering device and a steering unit connected to the rotation central portion. The direction in which the rotation axis of the rotation central portion extends is an axial direction. One of directions perpendicular to the axial direction is a radial direction. A direction perpendicular to the axial direction and the radial direction is a width direction. The steering unit protrudes from the rotation central portion in the radial direction in plan view of the steering device in the axial direction. A maximum width of the steering unit in the width direction is less than or equal to a maximum width of the rotation central portion in the width direction.

A vehicle winch control assembly includes, among other things, a winch, and a vehicle input device that is reassigned to control the winch. The vehicle input device can be an accelerator pedal. A vehicle winch control method includes, among other things, reassigning a vehicle input device, and, after the reassigning, controlling a winch using the vehicle input device.

A component for a vehicle interior may comprise a housing; a cover structure comprising a cover surface; and a user interface at the cover surface comprising a light display. The light display may comprise a light guide comprising a projection. The cover structure may comprise a cover base and a cover layer. The cover layer may be molded on the cover base. The cover base may comprise the light guide. The cover layer may comprise an aperture. The projection may extend into the aperture. The cover base may comprise an aperture, recess, notch and/or indentation. The cover layer may comprise a generally opaque material preventing visibility of a recess in the cover base. The cover base may comprise a different color and/or softness than the cover layer. The cover structure may comprise apertures and/or recesses for the light guide.

Methods and systems are described for executing vehicle functions. The system includes a sensor, an input device, and a controller that is configured to adjust a plurality of vehicle functions based on user identification. The controller detects a first user input received at the input device and identifies a first user based on a first signal received from the sensor, the first signal corresponding to a first vehicle function. The controller adjusts the first vehicle function corresponding to the first signal and detects a second user input received at the input device. Additionally, the controller identifies a second user based on a second signal received from the sensor, the second signal corresponding to a second vehicle function. The controller adjusts the second vehicle function corresponding to the second signal. The first vehicle function and the second vehicle function perform different vehicle functions.

The disclosure provides a transmission selector for a vehicle. The transmission selector for a vehicle includes: a transmission selector element including a first switch and a second switch, and a control circuit. When the vehicle speed is equal to or less than a first threshold, the control circuit switches the current gear to D in response to the selection operation received by the first switch, and the control circuit switches the current gear to R in response to the selection operation received by the second switch. When the vehicle speed is equal to or less than the first threshold and the vehicle meets the specified conditions, the control circuit controls the vehicle to switch the current gear in response to a long-press operation whose execution of the selection operation received by the first switch or the second switch reaches a first specified time.

A working machine includes a machine body capable of traveling, a working device to be attached to the machine body, a steering handle provided to the machine body and capable of being rotatably operated, an assist grip attached to the steering handle to assist a rotating operation of the steering handle, and an operation tool provided to the assist grip to operate devices provided to the machine body.

A display type switch for a vehicle includes a first display that displays one or more symbols related to functions of the vehicle and a second display that is connected to the first display and that controls the one or more symbols displayed on the first display.

An apparatus for generating a warning vibration of a steering wheel includes, a reservoir disposed within the steering wheel and filled with a non-conductive fluid, a connection tube connected to the reservoir and configured to form a hydraulic line of the non-conductive fluid, an actuator disposed within the steering wheel, connected to the connection tube, and configured to vibrate according to inflow and outflow of the non-conductive fluid from the connection tube, a positive electrode and a negative electrode disposed on opposite sides of the reservoir, a high voltage power supplier configured to supply a high voltage to be applied to the positive electrode and the negative electrode, and a vibration generation controller configured to selectively apply an output voltage of the high voltage power supplier to the positive electrode and the negative electrode.
