Embodiment Construction

[0031] Before the method for automatic user adaptation of the stimulus characteristic of an active operating element of a motor vehicle is explained in detail with the aid of an example, it seems necessary first to discuss the situation on the device side. To this end, a block diagram is shown in the drawing, which schematically shows the most important components by way of example.

[0032] An active operating element 1 is actuated by a vehicle control unit 7 via a drive circuit 8 and consists of a pedal 4 , a mechanical pedal assembly 5 and an actuator 6 , which are arranged rotatably about a point 3 on the vehicle 2 . This actuation is used, on the one hand, to generate a predetermined actuation haptic sensation of the pedal 4 during normal driving operation of the vehicle 2 and, on the other hand, to output possible A signal sensed by the operator's sense of touch.

[0033] In the sense of the selected example, this driving situation and / or operating situation of the vehi...

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for automatic user adaptation of the triggering characteristic of an active operator control element (1), which can be activated by an operator, of a vehicle (2), wherein at least one triggering characteristic is stored in a vehicle control device (7), and the vehicle control device (7) actuates the active operator control element (1) by means of the triggering characteristic in such a way that when actuation by the operator occurs said operator control element (1) transmits to the operator an opposing force (F([alpha])) which can be perceived tactually, is opposed to the activation force (F(B)) and has a predefined intensity and / or an oscillation which can be perceived tactually and has a predefined intensity. Furthermore, the invention provides that after the actuation of the active operator control element (1) it is checked whether the reaction of the operator to the opposing force (F([alpha])) and / or oscillation occurs within a predefined time period. When the predefined time period is undershot, the intensity of the triggering characteristic is reduced and stored, and when the time period is exceeded the intensity of the triggering characteristic is increased and stored. The stored modified triggering characteristic is used for the next actuation of the active operator control element (1) by the vehicle control device (7).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method according to the preamble of claim 1 for automatic user adaptation of the stimulus characteristics (Reizcharakteristik) of active operating elements of a vehicle and a method according to the preamble of claim 11 , Apparatus for carrying out the method. Background technique [0002] Due to its construction, passive operating elements can only provide passive feedback via their actuating haptics, whereas active operating elements are characterized in that they are actuated, as the case may be, by means of force changes or The movement changes to be able to convey tactilely tactile information in the form of stimuli to the user. This change in force or change in movement of the active actuation element occurs with the actuation information for actuating the active actuation element. This manipulation information is referred to herein as stimulus properties. [0003] Active operating elements have increasingly entered ...
