Abstract:
1. A vehicular device configured to implement enlarging of a predetermined region of a display screen from a first size to a second size to enlarge a plurality of selection items displayed in the predetermined region, the vehicular device comprising: an operation unit including: a control unit configured to indicate a cursor on the display screen according to operation data being sent from the operation unit based on an operation of the operation knob, wherein when the cursor enters the region with the first size, the control unit implements the enlarging, when the cursor exits the region with the second size, the control unit implements contracting of the predetermined region from the second size to the first size, the control unit is further configured to, the operation unit is further configured to cause the driving force generation unit to generate the driving force according to information indicative of a position of the cursor on the display screen, the information being sent from the control unit, when the contracting is completed, the control unit sets counter force information for preventing the cursor from entering the region with the first size or from selecting among the plurality of selection items displayed in the predetermined region with the first size, and the operation unit causes the driving force generation unit to generate the driving force according to the counter force information, and when the operation knob is manipulated during the implementation of the contracting, the control unit stops the cursor movement which follows the contracting and starts the cursor movement which follows a manipulation of the operation knob.
