Patent ID: 7765045

Claim:
A manual operation system for use in a vehicle under control of a user comprising: an operation unit for serving the user with a manual operation; an actuator for providing an operational force for the operation unit; a detector for detecting an operation position of the operation unit; a memory unit for storing force data that defines a relationship between a detection result of the detector and a control value of the actuator in association with control data that defines a relationship between the detection result of the detector and a control signal for controlling an object device; a first control unit for outputting the control value to the actuator and outputting the control signal to the object device based on the force data, the control data and the detection result of the detector; an interaction unit for vocally providing an interaction with the user; and a second control unit in the interaction unit for changing the force data and the control data for use by the first control unit based on a content of the interaction provided by the interaction unit, wherein the second control unit generates and stores a script based on the content of the interaction, the second control unit changes at least one of the force data and the control data by executing the script, the second control unit changes the force data by retrieving the script from the memory unit when the script stored in the memory unit is usable, the second control unit changes the force data by generating the script when the script stored in the memory unit is not usable, the second control unit determines whether the script in the memory unit is usable for the user; the second control unit determines whether the second control unit sends the control signal to the object device directly based on the content of the interaction by providing a query for the user, and the second control unit sends the control signal directly to the object device upon determining that the control signal is to be sent directly to the object device based on a user response to the query.
