Abstract
An armrest control device includes a driving mode determiner that determines a switching state of a driving mode of a vehicle capable of switching between an automatic driving mode and a manual driving mode, and an armrest controller that moves a supporter, which supports an arm of a driver of an armrest, so that the supporter approaches a steering wheel, when the driving mode determiner determines that a switching from the automatic driving mode to the manual driving mode has started.
Claims16
An armrest control device, comprising:
- a driving mode determiner that determines a switching state of a driving mode of a vehicle capable of switching between an automatic driving mode and a manual driving mode;
- and
- an armrest controller that moves a supporter of an armrest, which supports an arm of a driver, so that the supporter approaches a steering wheel, when the driving mode determiner determines that a switching from the automatic driving mode to the manual driving mode has started.
An armrest device, comprising:
- a control device that includes:
- a driving mode determiner that determines a switching state of a driving mode of a vehicle capable of switching between an automatic driving mode and a manual driving mode, and
- an armrest controller that moves a supporter of an armrest, which supports an arm of a driver, so that the supporter approaches a steering wheel when the driving mode determiner determines that a switching from the automatic driving mode to the manual driving mode has started;
- and
- an armrest in which a position of the supporter is adjusted on the basis of an operation instruction from the control device.
An armrest control device, comprising:
- circuitry configured to:
- determine a switching state of a driving mode of a vehicle capable of switching between an automatic driving mode and a manual driving mode;
- and
- move a supporter of an armrest, which supports an arm of a driver, so that the supporter approaches a steering wheel, when the circuitry determines that a switching from the automatic driving mode to the manual driving mode has started.
