Patent ID: 7760188

Claim:
An information processing system in a vehicle at least comprising: an information processing unit; a remote maneuvering unit for instructing the information processing unit; and a control unit for transmitting an instruction from the remote maneuvering unit to the information processing unit, wherein the remote maneuvering unit includes: a sensing module for sensing a location touched by a user; a determining module for determining a figure formed by sequentially connecting the locations sensed by the sensing module, wherein when the determining module determines that the figure is a line, the determining module further determines a direction of the line and the direction results in a determined result; a detecting module mounted on a rotating member for detecting an angle at which the member rotates; a correcting module for correcting a direction determined by the determining module in accordance with the angle detected by the detecting module; and a transmitting module for transmitting the determined result by the determining module to the control unit, the control unit includes: a receiving module for receiving the determined result transmitted by the transmitting module; and an outputting module for determining a process for shifting gears of a transmission of the vehicle, the process being associated with the determined result received by the receiving module and outputting data indicating the process to the information processing unit, and the information processing unit includes: an executing module for inputting the data outputted by the outputting module and executing the process indicated by the data.
