Abstract:
An operation surface detects a touch point specified by an operator. An imaging area obtains a hand image of the operator. A fingertip detection unit detects a fingertip of the hand image. A display device includes a display screen having coordinates uniquely corresponding to the operation surface and the imaging area. The display device indicates the fingertip and an operation panel specific to an in-vehicle electronic device to be operated. An interface engine having a prescribed interface relationship between an input, which is specified by at least one of the touch point and the fingertip, and an output to be outputted to the in-vehicle electronic device according to a combination of the input and the interface relationship. An alteration unit alters the interface relationship according to a detected traveling state of the vehicle.
