Abstract:
An input apparatus for vehicle includes a display origin displaying unit, a finger detector, an axial position detector, and a display content selector. The axial position detector causes positions of respective fingers of a driver, detected by the finger detector provided on a steering wheel rim in a circumferential direction thereof, to correspond to axial positions in respective first and second directions of axial directions set to a display. The first and second axial directions are respectively set corresponding to first and second directions of directions, starting from a second origin, in the circumferential direction. The second origin is set to the steering wheel rim and corresponds to a first origin displayed on the display. The display content selector selects a content displayed on the display, on the basis of an intersection of the axial positions in the respective axial directions brought into the correspondence by the axial position detector.

Claim (Index 9):
An input apparatus for vehicle to be mounted on a vehicle, the vehicle being provided with a display and a steering wheel that includes a steering wheel rim, the input apparatus for vehicle being configured to allow a content displayed on the display to be selected on a basis of an intersection of axial positions in respective two axial directions that are set to the display, the input apparatus for vehicle comprising:\n a sensor that is provided on the steering wheel rim in a circumferential direction of the steering wheel rim, and configured to detect positions of respective fingers of a driver that drives, with the steering wheel, the vehicle; and circuitry configured to display a first origin on the display, the first origin being a point of origin common to the two axial directions, cause the positions of the respective fingers detected by the sensor to correspond to an axial position in a first axial direction of the two axial directions and to an axial position in a second axial direction of the two axial directions, the first axial direction being set corresponding to a first direction of directions, starting from a second origin, in the circumferential direction of the steering wheel rim, the second axial direction being set corresponding to a second direction of the directions, starting from the second origin, in the circumferential direction of the steering wheel rim, the second origin being set to the steering wheel rim and corresponding to the first origin displayed on the display, and select the content displayed on the display, on a basis of the intersection of the axial positions in the respective two axial directions brought into the correspondence.
