Benefits of technology
"The present invention provides a method and human machine interface for editing images of sewing elements on a sewing machine. The method includes selecting an image, selecting a base editing function, and manipulating the image using the selected function. The interface includes a control member for selecting the sewing element image, a predetermined number of base function selectors, and a selector group including members for operating manipulator functions corresponding to the selected base function. The interface also includes toggle buttons for each base function, which can be selected to operate the corresponding function. The invention maximizes the usability and flexibility of the sewing machine while improving ergonomics and minimizing the number of buttons needed for editing and manipulation."
Problems solved by technology
A complex and full-loaded human-machine interface with keys, text and pictures does not promote the user friendliness.

Embodiment Construction
[0047]A number of embodiments of the invention are described below with reference to the attached drawings.
[0048]By way of example of the functioning of a lock stitch sewing machine for performing the inventive method, FIG. 1 depicts symbolically a sewing machine 1, where in a conventional manner a fabric 2 is fed forward between a bottom thread 3 and an upper thread 4 in order to execute a desired embroidery comprising stitches effected by means of a needle 5 which moves periodically through the fabric 2. In this example, the fabric 2 is moved across a sewing table 6, which also accommodates a horizontally disposed bottom thread bobbin (not shown) intended for the bottom thread 3 and encased in a gripper (not shown) in a lower arm 1a of the sewing machine. The sewing table 6 also has a stitch plate, over which the actual seam is executed. The upper thread 4 is led via a take-up lever 9, which by a cyclic up and down movement creates a loop of the upper thread 4 when the needle 5, t...

A method for editing images representing sewing elements (10) on a display of a sewing machine (1) for manipulating images of sewing elements (10) to be sewn on a fabric (2) arranged in the sewing machine(1), the method includes the steps, displaying at least one sewing element (10) image on said display (11), selecting at least one of said at least one sewing element (10) image, selecting an image editing function among a predetermined number of base editing functions, setting, by said selecting of an image editing function, members (35a-35e) of a selector group (35) to toggle to operate manipulator functions corresponding to said selected base function, manipulating said selected image of a sewing element (10) according to the selected base function by operating at least one of said members (35a-35e) of said selector group (35). The invention includes a device for performing the method.
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to a method of editing graphics and sewing elements for manipulating sewing elements on a sewing machine. Further, the invention relates to a human-machine interface for performing the method.TECHNICAL BACKGROUND[0002]Conventionally, a sewing machine with an embroidery function has a sewing mechanism for forming stitches by driving a needle bar, a thread take-up lever and a rotary hook. A fabric to be embroidered with the sewing elements is arranged in an embroidery frame, which is moved and driven by an embroidery frame driving mechanism controlled by a processor of the sewing machine based on sewing data for the sewing elements. In embroidering a fabric using the technology currently available it is possible to use ready designed embroidery elements which are stored in a memory, either in the sewing machine or an external memory unit.[0003]To precisely and clearly being able to adjust graphics and sewing elements with respect to s...
