1. An onboard device controller comprising:
a first information acquiring device configured to acquire motion information related to a motion of an occupant, the motion being a motion of an operation before and after the occupant performs an input operation when the occupant performs the input operation to an onboard device;
a second information acquiring device configured to acquire operation information related to the input operation to the onboard device, the input operation being based on the motion of the occupant;
a memory configured to store the motion information and the operation information in association with each other;
a motion detecting device configured to detect the motion of an occupant;
a controller configured to, when the motion information related to the motion of the occupant detected by the motion detecting device is stored in the memory, output command information related to an operation command to the onboard device by referring to the operation information stored in association with the motion information; and
an operation learning device configured to execute a predetermined learning algorithm based on the onboard device, the input operation to the onboard device, and the motion of the occupant to generate a learning model of the input operation to the onboard device with respect to the motion of the occupant,
wherein the controller is configured to:
determine whether or not a scene that is same or similar to a scene defined by the motion information and vehicle information acquired from an onboard sensor is stored in the learning model;
when it is determined that the scene that is same or similar to the scene defined by the motion information and the vehicle information is stored in the learning model, notify the occupant of a content of the input operation corresponding to the motion information;
inquire of the occupant whether or not the content of the input operation corresponding to the motion information should be added to the learning model; and
when adding the content of the input operation corresponding to the motion information to the learning model is accepted by the occupant, add the motion information and the content of the input operation corresponding to the motion information to the learning model, and
wherein the motion detecting device comprises a non-contact sensor and an electronic circuit installed with a program for analyzing a detection signal detected by the non-contact sensor.
