INPUT SYSTEM FOR VEHICLE
First Claim
1. An input system for vehicle, comprising:
- an actuator operable by an operator;
a controller outputting a display signal in response to an operation on the actuator, and outputting a control signal to a target device that performs one or more functions; and
a display having a screen to display an image based on the display signals, whereinthe image includesa graphic object indicating the actuator,one or more arrows located around the graphic object, andone or more function indicators located in one or more directions indicated by the one or more arrows, respectively, the one or more function indicators indicating the one or more functions, respectively, andthe controller is operable toupon the operator operating the actuator in the direction corresponding to an arrow out of the one or more arrows, select a function indicator out of the one or more function indicators located in a direction indicated by the arrow, andcontrol the target device to perform a function out of the one or more functions indicated by the selected function indicator.

Abstract
An input system for vehicle includes an actuator operable by an operator, a controller outputting a display signal in response to an operation on the actuator, and a display to display an image based on the display signals. The controller outputs a control signal to a target device that performs one or more functions. The image includes a graphic object indicating the actuator, one or more arrows located around the graphic object, and one or more function indicators located in one or more directions indicated by the one or more arrows, respectively. The one or more function indicators indicate the one or more functions, respectively. The controller is operable to, upon the operator operating the actuator in the direction corresponding to an arrow out of the one or more arrows, select a function indicator out of the one or more function indicators located in a direction indicated by the arrow, and to control the target device to perform a function out of the one or more functions indicated by the selected function indicator. The operator can operate the input system reliably.
