Input control device

An input control device configured to control a plurality of expanded operation regions based on an operation that is input to the plurality of expanded operation regions via an input device, a plurality of operation regions configured to receive an operation and the plurality of expanded operation regions that are expanded in association with the plurality of operation regions being provided in a display region of a display device, the input control device comprising:

• a processor to execute a program;
• and
• a memory to store the program which, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to perform processes of
• detecting the operation that is input to at least one overlap region where a part of each of the plurality of expanded operation regions overlaps each other;
• and
• selecting one expanded operation region that receives the operation out of the plurality of expanded operation regions having the at least one overlap region, based on a predetermined priority condition, then controlling the plurality of expanded operation regions such that, of the plurality of operation regions, one operation region corresponding to the one expanded operation region receives the operation, wherein
• the operation that is input to the at least one overlap region is one of a plurality of operations simultaneously input to the plurality of expanded operation regions by a driver of a vehicle and an occupant of the vehicle via the input device provided in the vehicle, and
• the processes performed by the processor further include acquiring information on the plurality of operations by the driver and the occupant, and preferentially detecting, based on the information, the one operation by the driver out of the plurality of operations as the operation that is input to the at least one overlap region.
