Problems solved by technology

[0006] The reason for the faulty function is that as soon as the touch operating surface of the operating part is wetted by moisture or multiple touch operating surfaces are operated in an indeterminate manner, a "capacitive short circuit" occurs, causing the touch operating panel to fail. effect

Embodiment Construction

[0038] figure 1 Shows a view of an operating element installed in a vehicle door for operating components. The vehicle door may be a vehicle door of any vehicle. Typically, it is used in the doors of passenger cars. However, any other vehicle may also be considered a vehicle. Examples of other vehicles are: bicycles, motorcycles, buses, commercial vehicles (in particular trucks Lkw), agricultural machines, construction machines, rail vehicles and the like. The invention is generally applicable to land vehicles including robots, rail vehicles, water vehicles, and aircraft including drones.

[0039] figure 1 The actual situation of moisture wetting is shown after rainy weather or after melted snow falls into the interior of the vehicle, for example due to opening a snow-covered door.

[0040] The operating panel contains 10 buttons for operating eg the window regulators, exterior mirrors and door locks. It also contains lighting for illuminating the operator panel. LEDs a...

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for operating an appliance, in which, in order to operate the appliance, a command button (49) of an operating part (40) is actuated, the actuation of the command button (49) being detected by a microcontroller (44) by means of measuring instruments. A step is then carried out, in which the read-in measured values are evaluated such that it is determined whether the measuring signal has a regular form for actuating the command button (49) or an irregular form. The function associated with the actuated command button (49) is implemented if it is established that the measuring signal has a regular form. When a regular form is identified, optionally an acoustic, haptic or optical acknowledgement signal is emitted, and when an irregular form is identified, an acoustic, haptic or optical fault signal is emitted.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for operating a device. The device to be operated may be a component installed in a vehicle. But it can also be a domestic appliance, such as a washing machine, refrigerator, dishwasher, oven, steamer or hob. In particular, the device is an operating panel installed in a vehicle door. Furthermore, the invention relates to a device for carrying out the method, a vehicle door in which the device for carrying out the method is installed, and a computer program. Background technique [0002] In modern vehicles, many electronic and electromechanical components are installed in the doors, especially the front passenger's door. These include power door locks; window regulator motors and exterior mirror motors; especially operating elements for exterior mirrors, window regulators and door locks; airbag pressure sensors for side impact protection; One or more digital cameras for environmental monitoring; luminaires for exte...
