Problems solved by technology

[0009] However, a permanently activated touchpad increases the risk of unintentional operation, which then has to be corrected time-consumingly and laboriously, especially if the touchpad is in an area that is subjected to constant manual manipulation during normal driving of the vehicle, for example when placing the touchpad in the center console. This is the case when the console is arranged near the gearshift or when the touchpad is arranged in the steering wheel of the vehicle

Embodiment Construction

[0053] figure 1 Shown is a cockpit 10 of a vehicle 11 equipped with two options for operating electronic equipment according to the invention.

[0054] The vehicle 11 has an infotainment system 12 , in which control systems for important functions of the vehicle, such as an air conditioning system, an audio system and a navigation system, are integrated. For this purpose, the infotainment system 12 includes a screen 13 serving as a display surface, in particular for graphically displaying selection menus, lists, input requests, buttons, pictures and other multimedia objects. The screen 13 , which can be any screen known from the prior art and suitable for the purpose, is arranged in a central location of the cockpit 10 , for example in the upper area of ​​the center console.

[0055] The screen 13 is preferably equipped with a touch-sensitive surface 14 , by means of which various operating gestures of the user, for example with a stylus or fingers, can be detected.

Abstract

The method involves controlling a function of the electronic device by operating panels (15,20,21) with touch-sensitive surface (16,22,23). The touch-sensitive surfaces are switchable between an inactive and an active state. The active state of the touch-sensitive surfaces signalizes the user. The signaling of the active state of the touch-sensitive surfaces takes place optically or acoustically. The activation of the touch sensitive surfaces takes place depending on the context. The touch-sensitive surfaces are activated by two switches (27,28). An independent claim is included for a device for operating an electronic device.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method and a device for operating an electronic device, in particular an electronic device in a motor vehicle. Background technique [0002] A large number of electronic devices from different fields (such as telematics, entertainment electronics, home electronics, device technology and system control of all types of vehicles, especially motor vehicles, rail vehicles or aircraft, etc.) usually have a large number of switches and operating buttons for Controls various functions and is used for data entry. In vehicles, especially motor vehicles, there are a large number of functional devices which are necessary in order to drive the vehicle, contribute to the safety and comfort of the vehicle occupants and ultimately display information and warnings to the vehicle occupants. In addition, these functional devices of the vehicle also help the vehicle occupants to communicate with communication partners located outside the vehicl...
