Abstract:
1. An in-vehicle apparatus comprising: a plurality of operation sections configured to receive an operation by a user while driving of a vehicle, the plurality of operation sections respectively including distortion detection elements that respectively transmit detection signals in accordance with loads generated due to the operation; a detection section detecting the operation to the plurality of operation sections based on the detection signals transmitted from the distortion detection elements; and a cancellation section determining whether loads are generated in the plurality of operation sections in a same period based on the detection signals transmitted from the distortion detection elements and canceling the detection signals transmitted from the distortion detection elements in the same period when the loads are generated in the plurality of operation sections in the same period, wherein the cancellation section determines whether loads having similar magnitudes and similar directions are generated in the plurality of operation sections in the same period based on the detection signals transmitted from the distortion detection elements and cancels the detection signals transmitted from the distortion detection elements in the same period when the loads having similar magnitudes and similar directions are generated in the same period, wherein the cancellation section determines that the loads have similar magnitudes when a difference between the magnitudes of the loads is less than or equal to a predetermined threshold value.
