Embodiment Construction

[0035] like figure 1 As shown, the control unit 1 has an operating device 2 and a selection element 3 on which a finger 4 can be positioned for selection. The selection element 3 is arranged in a predetermined spatial relationship, preferably next to the operating device 2 , more preferably directly next to the operating device 2 .

[0036] The operating device 2 includes a transmitter unit 5 and a receiver unit 6 . Transmitting unit 5 is designed to transmit signals to finger 4 . Such signals may be optical or electromagnetic signals. Preferably, this signal is light in the infrared range. The receiving unit 6 is designed to receive the signal reflected by the finger 4 . For this purpose, the receiving unit 6 includes, for example, a corresponding sensor chip with which the reflected signal can be detected. Transmitter unit 5 and receiver unit 6 are connected via a control unit 7 . The transmission time of the signal sent by the transmitting unit 5 and received again by...

Abstract

The invention relates to a control assembly (1) for a motor vehicle, the assembly being capable of detecting control actions carried out by a finger (4). Said assembly comprises a control device (2) and a selection element (3), on which a finger (4) for making a selection can be positioned and which has a pre-determined three-dimensional relationship with the control device (2) and is preferably adjacent and more preferably directly adjacent to the control device (2). The control device (2) is designed to detect the position of the finger (4) on the selection element (3) and to differentiate between the control actions depending on the detected position. Also disclosed is a method for operating the control assembly.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a control assembly for a motor vehicle, by means of which the operation action of a finger can be collected / detected, and also relates to a method for operating the control assembly for a motor vehicle. Background technique [0002] Modern motor vehicles include corresponding operating components by means of which the functional components of the vehicle can be operated, for example using a touchpad or a touchscreen. A touchpad or touchscreen may be included as part of the vehicle's instrument cluster. For example, a navigation system, a mobile phone connected to the motor vehicle, a motor vehicle information system or the like can be operated using the touchscreen. In order to select the selection elements displayed on the touch screen, the operator or motor vehicle driver can use the touch screen to perform corresponding operation actions by placing a finger on the touch screen. The driver usually needs to take his eyes off...
