In-vehicle device, remote control system, and remote control method
First Claim
1. An in-vehicle device that remote-controls a portable terminal device, comprising:
- a layout-information acquiring unit that acquires layout information of input keys of the portable terminal device;
an input/output unit that includes a touch panel display displaying an image and receiving a user input;
a relating unit that relates each input key included in the layout information to a predetermined area on the touch panel display;
a combination display unit that displays in the touch panel display a layout screen of the each input key related by the relating unit to a predetermined area on the touch panel display;
a converting unit that converts, based on the layout information, an input to the touch panel display into an output signal or a combination of the output signals corresponding to a pressing operation of the input key; and
a transmitting unit that transmits the output signal obtained as a result of conversion by the converting unit to the portable terminal device.

Abstract
To provide an in-vehicle device including a layout-information acquiring unit, a relating unit, a combination display unit, a converting unit, and an output-signal transmitting unit. The layout-information acquiring unit acquires layout information of input keys of the portable terminal device. The relating unit relates each input key included in the layout information to a predetermined area on a touch panel display. The combination display unit causes a layout screen of each input key related to a predetermined area on the touch panel display to be displayed in the touch panel display. The converting unit converts an input to the touch panel display into an output signal corresponding to a pressing operation of the input key or a combination of the output signals, based on the layout information. The output-signal transmitting unit transmits the output signal obtained by conversion to the portable terminal device.
