Abstract

The invention relates to a method for detecting activation (12) of an operator control element (2) in a motor vehicle (1), wherein the operator control element (2) generates an activation signal (S) as a function of the activation (12), and a control unit (3) receives the activation signal (S), (S2), and measures a signal length (TS) of the activation signal (S), (S3), and signals the activation (12), (S4), if the signal length (TS) becomes greater than a predetermined debounce time (TSO). Despite possible incorrect triggering of the activation signal (S) owing to voltage fluctuations, the debounce time (TSO) is to be short. The control unit (3) determines for this purpose an operating parameter (19), and on the basis of the operating parameter (19) it is detected (S1) that a supply voltage (U), made available at the control unit (3), of the motor vehicle (1) satisfies a predetermined instability criterion, and when the instability criterion is satisfied said control unit (3) delays the measurement (S2) of the signal length (TS) for a predetermined blocking time (T).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for detecting the actuation of an operating element in a motor vehicle. Also belonging to the invention is a control unit and a motor vehicle having a control unit according to the invention. Background technique [0002] The operating element can be a button, for example. If the motor vehicle user actuates such an operating element, a vehicle function can thereby be activated, ie an action is initiated. The key signals are read in and evaluated by the controller for the recognition of the actuation. A so-called grounding switch is often used in the operating element, ie the signal input of the controller is electrically connected or short-circuited to ground potential during operation of the operating element. If the control unit detects a voltage drop at the signal input, ie a voltage value which is less than a predetermined threshold value at the control input, the control unit recognizes that the control element...
