Abstract
A vehicle-mounted device includes a storage device, an external input unit, a speaker, an image display unit, a touch panel, a control unit, a DVD/CD drive, a GPS, a vehicle speed sensor, and a gyroscope. The touch panel includes a finger rest area to reduce erroneous operation by a finger or hand of an operator due to vibration of the vehicle or other causes, and perform input intended by the operator even under a vehicle-mounted environment. The operator contacts the finger on the rest area thereby stabilizing his/her inputting hand while contacting the touch panel. As a result, erroneous input can be reduced, and input desired by the operator can be easily performed.
