Abstract

A disclosed in-vehicle equipment control device “S” includes input units 2 and 3 for increasing and decreasing a set value of in-vehicle equipment, and a set value increase/decrease halting unit 13 for stopping the increase/decrease of the set value when the set value reaches a prescribed value after being increased and decreased by the input units 2 and 3. Further, the in-vehicle equipment control device “S” may further include a set value increase/decrease resuming unit 14 for resuming increasing or decreasing the set value when an input of the input unit 2 or 3 is continued after the increase or decrease of the set value is stopped by the set value increase/decrease halting unit 13.

Dependent claims

An in-vehicle equipment control device comprising:

an input unit increasing/decreasing a set value of in-vehicle equipment;
an input status determination unit determining whether an input mode of the input unit is a long-press mode or a short-press mode;
a set value increase/decrease halting unit stopping the increase/decrease of the set value when the set value reaches a prescribed value registered in the in-vehicle equipment control device after the set value is continually increased/decreased by the input unit;
and
a set value increase/decrease resuming unit resuming the increasing/decreasing of the set value when an input by the input unit in the long-press mode continues for a prescribed time period since the increase/decrease of the set value is stopped by the set value increase/decrease halting unit.
