Abstract: An in-cabin monitoring system includes a camera which captures an image of an inside of a cabin of a vehicle, a light source which irradiates the inside of the cabin with light, and a controller which controls the camera and the light source. The light source is capable of emitting first light which is light to be emitted when checking whether a person is present using the camera and second light which is stronger than the first light. The controller captures an image of the inside of the cabin using the camera while causing the light source to emit the second light, before the person gets in the vehicle and after the person gets out of the vehicle.

Abstract: Imaging and display system includes: a display; an optical system including a first mirror and a second mirror; a housing; a light-transmissive cover transparent to light and disposed to cover at least part of an opening of the housing; and a driver monitoring camera supported by a supporting body connected outside of the housing. First light emitted from the display passes through the light-transmissive cover via the optical system, and is reflected by a windshield toward a direction of the user. The driver monitoring camera captures an image of a driver shown on the light-transmissive cover by second light from a direction of the driver reflected by the windshield toward a direction of the light-transmissive cover.

Abstract: An input device has a first electrode, a second electrode, and a third electrode. The second electrode opposes to the first electrode while being spaced apart therefrom. The third electrode is spaced apart from the first electrode and rotatably or slidably provided relative to the second electrode. By the third electrode being brought into contact with or spaced apart from the second electrode, an electrical state between the first electrode and the second electrode changes. Based on this electrical change, a rotary manipulation or a slide manipulation is detected.

Abstract: An input device of the present disclosure has a stationary part, an operation input part that is provided above the stationary part, and is movable with respect to the stationary part, a detector configured to detect information regarding operation of the operation input part, and an attachment part provided in the stationary part so as to project downward from a second surface of the stationary part. The attachment part has a holder and a coupler configured to couple to the stationary part. A holding force maintaining a state where the holder is attached to an object is smaller than a coupling force between the coupler and the stationary part. When a force is applied to the holder from above, the holding force of the holder allows the holder to be fixed to the object.

Abstract: An in-cabin monitoring system includes an electronic mirror provided inside a vehicle cabin, a camera that captures an image of an imaging target inside the vehicle cabin, and a light source that is provided in the electronic mirror and emits light into the vehicle cabin. The light source includes a plurality of light emitting diodes, and at least one light emitting diode of the plurality of light emitting diodes are disposed such that optical axes of the one or more light emitting diodes extend in directions different from a direction of an optical axis of an other light emitting diode of the plurality of light emitting diodes.

Abstract: An input device includes a housing, an operation unit, a vibrating body, a piezoelectric element, a picker, and a signal processing unit. The operation unit is movable relative to the housing. The vibrating body has elasticity. The vibrating body includes a first end partially fixed to the housing, and a second end provided so as to be vibratable. The piezoelectric element is provided to the vibrating body. The piezoelectric element is configured to convert vibration energy of the vibrating body into electrical energy as the vibrating body vibrates. The picker flicks the vibrating body to allow the vibrating body to vibrate in conjunction with the operation unit. The signal processing unit is configured to receive power generated by the piezoelectric element to operate and transmit, through wireless communications, detection information to be generated as the operation unit moves.
