Vehicular input device and vehicular cockpit module
First Claim
1. A vehicular input device, which is arranged in a vehicle having a meter hood protruding toward a driving seat from an instrument panel and surrounding a meter, for detecting an operation of a driver based on an input screen image displayed on a display device, which is arranged on the instrument panel at a side of the meter hood, the vehicular input device comprising:
- a detector that is arranged at a side surface of the meter hood in space between the display device and the driving seat and configured to detect a spatial hand movement; and
a display controller that changes a display mode of the display device in response to an output concerning the detected spatial hand movement of the detector.

Abstract
The present disclosure provides a vehicular input device, which is arranged in a vehicle having a meter hood protruding toward a driving seat from an instrument panel and surrounding a meter, for detecting an operation of a driver based on an input screen image displayed on a display device arranged on the instrument panel at a side of the meter hood. The vehicular input device includes: a detection unit that is arranged at a side surface of the meter hood and is arranged between the display device and the driving seat; and a display control unit that changes a display mode of the display device in response to an output of the detection unit.

7. A vehicular cockpit module comprising:
-
a meter hood that protrudes toward a driving seat from an instrument panel and surrounds a meter; a display device that is disposed at a side of the meter hood and arranged near a center of a vehicle in a width direction on the instrument panel; and a vehicular input device that detects an operation of a driver based on an input screen image displayed on the display device, wherein the vehicular input device includes; a detector that is arranged at a side of the meter hood in space between the display device and the driving seat and configured to detect a spatial hand movement; and a display controller that changes a display mode of the display device in response to an output concerning the detected spatial hand movement of the detector. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10)

11. A vehicular cockpit module comprising:
-
a meter hood that protrudes toward a driving seat from an instrument panel and surrounds a meter; a display device that is disposed at a side of the meter hood and arranged near a center of a vehicle in a width direction on the instrument panel; and a vehicular input device that detects an operation of a driver based on an input screen image displayed on the display device, wherein the vehicular input device includes; a detector that is arranged at a side of the meter hood in space between the display device and the driving seat to detect a spatial hand movement; and a display controller that changes a display mode of the display device in response to an output of the detector, wherein the detector is a capacitance sensor, and wherein the display controller estimates a position of a driver'"'"'s finger in the space between the display device and the driving seat based on a change in capacitance of the capacitance sensor, and changes a display mode of the display device based on a change in an estimated position of the driver'"'"'s finger.
