Vehicular display apparatus

Abstract

A vehicular display apparatus includes a display section, a pointing device, and a display control section. The display control section is configured to display an operation screen on the display section. The display control section is configured to generate an image that includes one of an object and an object group across a specified area on the operation screen, and execute processing of setting a part of the one of the object and the object group in a different display mode from the other part of the one of the object and the object group when the operation finger is recognized by a recognition section.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A vehicular display apparatus comprising:
 a display;   a pointing device configured to recognize a position of an operation finger on the pointing device; and   a controller configured to
 display an operation screen on the display, the operation screen including a plurality of selection targets, a selection operation of which is able to be performed by using the pointing device, 
 generate an image that includes horizontally arranged graphics objects across a specified area on the operation screen, 
 determine a part of plurality of graphics objects based on and corresponding to a position of the operating finger when the operation finger is recognized by the pointing device, and 
 execute processing of setting the part of the plurality of graphics objects in a different display mode from the other part of the plurality of graphics objects when the operation finger is recognized by the pointing device. 
   
     
     
         2 . The vehicular display apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the controller is configured to generate an image in which the part in the different display mode of the plurality of graphics objects is moved along a moving direction of the operation finger when the operation finger, which is recognized by the pointing device, is moved with respect to the pointing device.   
     
     
         3 . The vehicular display apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the controller is configured to generate the operation screen by composing a foreground image that includes the plurality of selection targets and a background image that includes the plurality of graphics objects.   
     
     
         4 . The vehicular display apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the plurality of selection targets is arranged in line in a first direction on the operation screen,   the plurality of graphics objects is arranged along the first direction, and   the controller is configured to generate an image in which the part of the plurality of graphics objects is displaced in a second direction that crosses the first direction with respect to the other part of the plurality of graphics objects when the operation finger is recognized by the pointing device.   
     
     
         5 . The vehicular display apparatus according to  claim 4 , wherein
 an amount of displacement of the plurality of graphics objects in the second direction is reduced as the plurality of graphics objects separate from a position on the operation screen in the first direction, the position corresponding to a state signal from the pointing device.   
     
     
         6 . The vehicular display apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the plurality of graphics objects is arranged in a virtual three-dimensional space, and   the controller is configured to generate an image in which the part of the plurality of graphics objects is raised in a specified direction in the virtual three-dimensional space with respect to the other part of the plurality of graphics objects when the operation finger is recognized by the pointing device.
