1. A control device, comprising:
a controller, including at least a processor and a memory, configured to:
receive operations on at least one operator that includes at least a sensor;
set, as specific functions, functions of executing at least two processing in accordance with contents of the operations received; and
control a notifier, including at least an actuator, configured to perform a notification, among a plurality of different notifications, in accordance with each processing executed by the specific functions, each notification being different from at least one previous notification, and each notification including a combination of at least two different notification mechanisms, and
a display configured to display images including icons on a basis of signals input from the controller, the icons related to the processing executed by the specific functions,
wherein the specific functions include at least execution of a selection processing for selecting an item to be operated, a cancellation processing for cancelling a selected state of the selected item, and a determination processing for determining the selected item,
the controller is further configured to control the notifier to perform a notification, among the plurality of different notifications, using a parameter in accordance with at least one of the selection processing, the cancellation processing and the determination processing executed by the specific functions,
the parameter for the selection processing, the cancellation processing and the determination processing are each a different parameter,
the controller is further configured to control the notifier to perform a notification, among the plurality of different notifications, in accordance with whether the execution of processing by each of the specific functions is possible,
the controller is further configured to control, in a state in which the execution of the processing by each of the specific functions is not possible, the notifier to perform a notification, among the plurality of different notifications, indicating that the execution of the specific functions is not possible,
the determination processing determines whether a setting value of a travelling speed adjusted by a user is possible, and the controller is further configured to control the notifier to perform a notification, among the plurality of different notifications, if the determination processing is possible, or a notification, among the plurality of different notifications, if the determination processing is not possible, and
the controller is configured to control the notifier to perform the plurality of different notifications using the combination of the at least two different notification mechanisms, the different notification mechanisms including at least vibrations, sound, or light.
