  2. CONSTRUCTION


    1. Remote Touch


      1. The remote touch consists of the switch knob and switches.

        A01GVJJE01

      2. The switch knob of the remote touch consists of the joystick and 2 motors that enable 2-axis control in longitudinal and lateral directions.

        - The 2 motors generate feedback force according to screen button and icon locations, achieving a 'click' feeling during operation.

        A01GVURE01

        - The 2 motors provide 3 types of feedback force (resistance, icons, frame). Overlapping feedback forces are added together.

        Feedback Force Description
        Resistance Feedback force, which interferes the switch knob operation, is generated in proportion to the switch knob operation speed. Resistance generated on the map screen is stronger than on other screens (MENU screen etc.)
        Icon Force is provided to pull the pointer toward the center of the set area (near icons).
        Frame Force is generated to move the pointer toward the inside of the screen when the pointer is close to the edge of the screen.
        A01GVOSE01

  3. OPERATION


    1. Remote Touch


      1. When the switch knob of the remote touch is operated, the pointer will be displayed on the multi-display screen. When the pointer comes close to an icon, the cursor will appear and the icon framed by the cursor can be selected.

        A01GVTBE01
