Embodiment Construction

[0019] figure 1An exemplary embodiment of an operating device 1 according to the invention is shown in a simplified schematic diagram. Each of the front seats 2 , 3 of a motor vehicle is provided with a seat heater 4 . The seat heater 4 is supplied with a heating current via the power electronics 5 , which can be supplied, if required, from the on-board power supply of the motor vehicle. The power electronics 5 are simultaneously used to feed a specified signal current into the seat heater 4 . According to whether the respective seats 2, 3 need heating effect, the signal current can also be a heating current. Preferably, the heating current is interrupted during the contact of the operating part or the approach towards the operating part. The signal current assigned to each seat 2, 3 differs in at least one detected characteristic quantity, preferably frequency, and a prescribed voltage signal induced in the operator, said characteristic quantity being in turn comparable to...

Abstract

The invention relates to an operating or control device (1) and to an associated method for a motor vehicle for carrying out an operator-specific switching and / or adjusting function, comprising: at least one operating element (8) or control element for carrying out a plurality of switching and / or adjusting functions; at least one seat heater (4); a means (5) for generating a specific current signal and feeding said current signal into the seat heater in order to induce a specific voltage signal in the operator by means of the seat heater (4); detection means (6) in order to detect the specific voltage signal when the operating element (8) is touched by the operator; evaluating means (7) in order to associate a specific switching or adjusting function of the plurality of switching and / or adjusting functions with the operating element (8) or control element upon detection of the specific voltage signal.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an operating or control device with operator-dependent switching and / or adjusting functions. Background technique [0002] Operating devices in or for motor vehicles are known from the prior art, including an operator identification device, the purpose of which is to carry out switching in an operator-based manner by means of the same operating part and adjustment functions, ie according to the operator's seat position. For example, an operating part can be provided for setting a comfort function, and according to the detection result of which operator performs the operation, adjust or switch the comfort function associated only with this operator. [0003] According to patents DE 10 2008 048 820 A1 and WO 2004 / 078536 A1, operator identification can be performed by means of a high-frequency signal paired with at least one operator. For this reason, prior art identification devices comprise at least one transmission unit, whic...
