Multi-way input device and operating failure avoidance method using the same
First Claim
1. A multi-way input device adapted to perform input operation through tilting or sliding movements of an operation terminal in a given direction to allow a command correlated with the direction to be selected, the multi-way input device comprising:
- an operational failure judgment section judging if selective operation of an operator is involved in an operational failure;
an operational failure memory section storing information, related to operational failures judged by the operational failure judgment section, as an operation history;
an operational failure analysis section analyzing the operation history stored in the operational failure memory section for thereby judging a tendency of the operational failures; and
an adjusting section adjusting a moveable range of the operation terminal to avoid the operational failures in response to a resulting analysis made by the operational failure analysis section.

Abstract
A joystick input device adapted to be mounted on a vehicle and an operational failure avoidance method are disclosed, wherein controllable operation guides 111 are set in an operational range of a stick 21 that is rendered operative only in a given direction depending on a GUI condition. A stick control computing device 407 stores information related to an operational direction upon judgment of occurrence of operational failures caused during stick operation, discriminates an occurrence tendency of the operational failures through analysis of a history of the operational failures, thereby adjusting a moveable mode of the operation guide so as to avoid the operational failures.

10. A method of avoiding an operational failure in a multi-way input device adapted to perform input operation through tilting or sliding movements of an operation terminal in a given operational direction to allow a command, correlated with the operational direction, to be selected, the method comprising:
-
judging if selective operation of an operator is involved in an operational failure; storing information, related to the operational direction in which the operational failure occurs, as an operation history in the presence of the operational failure; judging a tendency of operational failures by analyzing the operation history; and correcting a moveable range of the operation terminal so as to avoid the operational failure. - View Dependent Claims (11)

12. A multi-way input device adapted to perform input operation through tilting or sliding movements of an operation terminal in a given direction to allow a command correlated with the direction to be selected, the multi-way input device comprising:
-
operational failure judging means for judging if selective operation of an operator is involved in an operational failure; operational failure storing means for storing information, related to operational failures judged by the operational failure judging means, as an operation history; operational failure analyzing means for analyzing the operation history stored in the operational failure storing means for thereby judging a tendency of the operational failures; and adjusting means for adjusting a moveable range of the operation terminal to avoid the operational failures in response to a resulting analysis made by the operational failure analyzing means.
