• • unmittelbar neben dem Slider-Element kann der aktuelle Wert als Zahl dargestellt werden;
• • Verstellungen über den gesamten Bereich sind vergleichsweise einfach durch schnelles Verschieben möglich;
• • ein sehr feines Einstellen ist durch ”Auf”- und ”Ab”-Tasten, realisiert durch spezielle Bereiche an den Enden des Sliders oder unmittelbar daneben, möglich;

• • kontextbezogene Zusatzinformationen wie Name des Parameters, zugehörige Alarmgrenzen, Vorschlagswert können im oder unmittelbar neben dem Slider dargestellt werden;
• • das Erreichen bzw. Verlassen eines kritischen Bereiches kann durch Ändern der Farbe des Balkenelements visualisiert werden.

Advantages of the solution according to the invention are:

• • the current value is displayed analogously relative to the smallest and highest possible value;
• • immediately next to the slider element, the current value can be represented as a number;
• • Adjustments over the entire range are relatively easy due to fast moving;
• • a very fine adjustment is possible by "up" and "down" keys, realized by special areas at the ends of the slider or immediately next to it;
• • Touch gestures such as wiping or double-folding can trigger special adjustments (fast, wide adjustment, jump to default value, confirmation);
• • Context-related additional information such as the name of the parameter, associated alarm limits, default value can be displayed in or immediately next to the slider;
• • reaching or leaving a critical area can be visualized by changing the color of the bar element.

• • Bei einer ersten Ausführungsform wird auf die Touch Screen-Oberfläche eine Erhöhung rund um den Slider aufgebracht. Diese Erhöhung bildet eine Führung des eine Position eines jeweils angezeigten Zeichens verstellenden Fingers. Denkbar ist, weitere Bereiche wie Einzelschritt-Tasten an den Enden des Sliders oder Querstreifen, die eine Information über die Höhe des Finger relativ zu den Enden des Sliders geben (ähnlich den Schwellen auf Strassen an manchen Ortseinfahrten), aufzubringen. Ein Vorteil dieser Lösung ist, dass die erfindungsgemäße Ein- und Ausgabevorrichtung oder das Display derart je nach dem Anwendungsfall definiert werden kann, indem z. B. die Skalenangaben unter dem Bewegungsbereich des Sliders angeordnet werden, und indem alle Möglichkeiten gegeben sind, den Slider mit grafischen Informationen zu unterlegen.
• • Nach einer alternativen Einzelschritt-Tasten ist vorgesehen, den Slider als separates Element neben dem eigentlichen grafischen Bildschirm auszuführen. Dabei kann eine Bildschirm-Abdeckplatte oder eine Trägerplatte der Ein- und Ausgabevorrichtung als Glasoberfläche mit einer rinnenartigen Vertiefung ausgeführt sein, so dass die Ein- und Ausgabevorrichtung als berührungssensitive Glastastatur ausgeführt ist, die z. B. hinter dieser angeordnete Pixelerzeugern wie LEDs aufweist. Ein Vorteil dieser Lösung liegt in der Robustheit einer Glasfläche gegen Verkratzen und Reinigen. Auch kann eine größere Höhe der räumlich ausgeprägten Struktur vorgesehen sein.
• • Eine weitere erfindungsgemäße Lösung sieht ein Wheel zur Regelung oder Einstellung eines Zustands eines externen Gerätes vor, das somit die Metapher eines Drehreglers verwendet. Erfindungsgemäß wird bei Aktivierung der Regelung oder Einstellung der aktuelle Wert als grafische Markierung dargestellt, wobei die Position der Markierung im Verhältnis zum möglichen Wertebereich steht. Durch Berühren und Bewegen der Hand oder eines Fingers am Wheel wird der Wert verändert. Erfindungsgemäß kann vorgesehen sein, dass ein neuer Wert eingestellt wird, der entweder sofort wirksam ist oder durch eine weitere Aktion bestätigt werden muss, sobald die Berührung beendet wird.

The spatially pronounced structure provided according to the invention, which realizes a slider or rotary control together with the proximity and / or touch function on the input and output unit, can be located on the right or left edge of the input and output unit or its user side Surface be arranged. Thus, the hand of the user can take the side of the case, possibly supported by finger hollows of one hand, and at the same time the inventively provided linear regulator, so slider, or knob z. B. operate by means of a thumb of the same hand. To form the inventively provided linear regulator or rotary control can be realized in different embodiments:

• In a first embodiment, an increase is applied to the touch screen surface around the slider. This increase forms a guide of the finger adjusting a position of a respective character being displayed. It is conceivable to apply further areas such as single-step buttons at the ends of the slider or transverse strips which give information about the height of the finger relative to the ends of the slider (similar to the thresholds on streets at some local entrances). An advantage of this solution is that the input and output device according to the invention or the display can be defined depending on the application, by z. For example, the scale information may be placed below the range of motion of the slider, and there are all possibilities to provide the slider with graphic information.
• • Following an alternative single-step button, it is intended to run the slider as a separate element next to the actual graphical screen. In this case, a screen cover plate or a support plate of the input and output device can be designed as a glass surface with a channel-like depression, so that the input and output device is designed as a touch-sensitive glass keyboard, the z. B. behind this arranged pixel generators such as LEDs. An advantage of this solution lies in the robustness of a glass surface against scratching and cleaning. Also, a greater height of the spatially pronounced structure can be provided.
• Another solution according to the invention provides a wheel for controlling or setting a state of an external device, thus using the metaphor of a rotary knob. According to the current value is displayed as a graphic marker upon activation of the control or adjustment, the position of the marker is in proportion to the possible value range. Touching and moving the hand or finger on the wheel changes the value. According to the invention be provided that a new value is set, which is either immediately effective or must be confirmed by another action, as soon as the touch is terminated.

• • der aktuelle Wert wird relativ zum kleinst- und größtmöglichen Wert analog dargestellt;
• • unmittelbar neben dem Wheel-Element kann der aktuelle Wert als Zahl dargestellt werden;
• • Verstellungen über den gesamten Bereich sind vergleichsweise einfach durch schnelles Verschieben möglich;
• • Berührungsgesten wie Wischen oder Doppeltappen können spezielle Verstellungen (schnelle, weite Verstellung, Sprung auf Vorschlagswert, Bestätigung) auslösen;
• • kontextbezogene Zusatzinformationen wie Name des Parameters, zugehörige Alarmgrenzen, Vorschlagswert und Änderung einer Kurve können im oder unmittelbar neben dem Wheel dargestellt werden; und
• • das Erreichen bzw. Verlassen eines kritischen Bereiches kann durch Ändern der Farbe eines Balkenelements visualisiert werden.

In the implementation of a rotary control or a wheel element according to the invention, the graphical information can be executed under and around the linear regulator or knob in various ways and adapted to the particular case in particular by:

• • the current value is displayed analogously relative to the smallest and highest possible value;
• • immediately next to the wheel element, the current value can be represented as a number;
• • Adjustments over the entire range are relatively easy due to fast moving;
• • Touch gestures such as wiping or double-folding can trigger special adjustments (fast, wide adjustment, jump to default value, confirmation);
• • Context-related additional information such as the name of the parameter, associated alarm limits, default value and changing a curve can be displayed in or next to the wheel; and
• • Reaching or leaving a critical area can be visualized by changing the color of a bar element.

By providing haptic information in the inventively provided linear controller or knob is confirmed by the sense of touch that a user has touched a button correctly. The invention thus achieves a combination of the inventively provided linear regulator or rotary control with haptic touch feedback in that a user can experience a setting range by haptic feedback with a finger. If you reach a critical setting range or the limits of a setting range, this can be displayed by changing the haptic feedback. The confirmation can be visually displayed by haptic feedback as when pressing a button. The advantage of this solution is the combination of visual and haptic feedback.
