CRT TOUCH SWITCH DEVICE

PURPOSE:To obtain a touch switch control system possible to be easily operated even gropingly, by detecting a direction to trace a touch switch, and performing the switching of a function based on the above detection. CONSTITUTION:A microcomputer 1 always continues to monitor whether a signal is inputted from a touch panel part 4, and when the signal is inputted from the touch panel part 4, the direction (upward or downward) traced by a finger on a touch switch 2b is calculated based on the signal. And when it is decided that a traced direction is the upward direction, the display 2a-1 of a volume is moved in the upward direction, and also, the signal is sent to a radio circuit 7, and a sound volume is increased. Also, when the traced direction is the downward direction, the display 2a-1 of the volume is moved in the downward direction, and also, the sound volume is decreased.
