Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Vorrichtung mit den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffs von Patentanspruch 1.The The invention relates to a device with the features of The preamble of claim 1.

Eine derartige Vorrichtung ist aus der EP 0 796 766 A2 bekannt. Dabei dient das Betätigungsglied dazu, die Anzahl der Ebenen innerhalb der Menüstruktur zu vergrößern. Hierzu ist angegeben, die Ebenen über den Umfang der Bildschirmanzeige verteilt anzuordnen. Eine derartige Vorrichtung bedeutet für den Benutzer eine zusätzliche Schwierigkeit, da er keine eindeutige Zuordnung zwischen der Zusatzbewegung des Betätigungsglieds und der Axial- bzw. Rotationsbewegung dieses Glieds vorfindet. Auch gestaltet sich der Übergang zwischen den Ebenen und innerhalb der Menüstruktur für ihn nicht eindeutig und führt letztendlich zu einer erheblichen Ablenkung des Benutzers vom Verkehrsgeschehen.Such a device is known from EP 0 796 766 A2 known. The actuator is used to increase the number of levels within the menu structure. For this purpose, it is specified to arrange the levels distributed over the circumference of the screen display. Such a device means an additional difficulty for the user, since he finds no clear association between the additional movement of the actuator and the axial or rotational movement of this member. Also, the transition between the levels and within the menu structure for him is not unique and ultimately leads to a significant distraction of the user from the traffic.

Aus der DE 40 10 025 C1 ist ein Tastatur- und Displaysystem zur Bedienung mehrerer Fahrzeugkomponenten in einem Kraftfahrzeug bekannt, bei dem die Fahrzeugkomponente mit einer fest zugeordneten eigenen Taste ausgewählt wird und die der Fahrzeugkomponente zugeordneten Funktionen über weitere Tasten und Wippschalter einstellbar sind.From the DE 40 10 025 C1 a keyboard and display system for operating a plurality of vehicle components in a motor vehicle is known, in which the vehicle component is selected with a dedicated dedicated own button and the vehicle component associated functions via other buttons and rocker switch are adjustable.

Ferner ist aus der nicht vorveröffentlichten Anmeldung DE 197 32 287 A1 der Anmelderin eine Multifunktions-Bedieneinrichtung bekannt, bei der hierarchisch gleiche Punkte der aus Menü, Untermenüs und/oder Funktionen bestehenden Menüstruktur linear oder kreisförmig auf einem Bildschirm angeordnet und durch ein schwenkbar gelagertes sowie dreh- und drückbares Schaltglied auswählbar sind.Furthermore, from the non-prepublished application DE 197 32 287 A1 the Applicant a multi-function control device known in the hierarchically same points of the menu, sub-menus and / or functions existing menu structure linear or circular arranged on a screen and can be selected by a pivotally mounted and rotatable and pushable switching element.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, bei der eine eindeutige Zuordnung zwischen der Bildschirmanzeige und den verschiedenen Bewegungs- und Auswahlmöglichkeiten des Betätigungsglieds innerhalb der hierarchischen Menüstruktur besteht.Of the Invention is the object of a device of the initially to create a type in which a clear assignment between the screen display and the various movement and selection options of the actuator within the hierarchical menu structure consists.

Die Erfindung löst diese Aufgabe durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1.The Invention solves This object is achieved by the features of patent claim 1.

Nunmehr wird durch die Zusatzbewegung des Betätigungsglieds ein übergeordneter Punkt der Menüstruktur durch die Dreh- bzw. Längsbewegung des Betätigungsglieds ein demgegenüber untergeordneter Punkt der Menüstruktur ausgewählt. Konkret bedeutet dies beispielsweise, daß im Randbereich die möglichen Menüs angeordnet sind, während sich im Mittelbereich die zugehörigen Untermenüs bzw. Funktionen oder Funktionswerte befinden. Dabei sind im Mittelbereich nur die Teilmenüs, die Funktion bzw. Funktionswerte angeordnet, die zu dem einen, vorzugs weise durch eine vorhergehende Zusatzbewegung des Betätigungsglieds ausgewählten Menü gehören. Im Randbereich befinden sich somit die innerhalb der Menüstruktur auf gleicher Stufe stehenden Punkte, während im Mittelbereich die hierarchisch niedrigeren Punkte zu finden sind.Now becomes a parent by the additional movement of the actuator Point of the menu structure by the rotational or longitudinal movement of the actuator a contrast subordinate point of the menu structure selected. Specifically, this means, for example, that in the border area the possible Arranged menus are while in the middle area the associated submenus or functions or function values. Here are in the middle range only the submenus, the function or function values arranged, the one, preferably, as owned by a previous additional movement of the actuator selected menu. in the Edge area are thus within the menu structure standing on the same level, while in the middle range the hierarchically lower points can be found.

Wie an sich aus der EP 0 796 766 A2 bekannt ist, kann das Betätigungsglied sowohl eine Taumelbewegung als auch eine Parallelverschiebung als Zusatzbewegung durchführen und dabei auch zwangsgeführt sein. Diese Bewegungsmöglichkeiten bzw. -einschränkungen verbessern den Umgang mit und die Bewegung innerhalb der Menüstruktur. Ausgehend von der Mittellage als Ausgangslage des Betätigungsglieds ist die Zusatzbewegung gleichbedeutend mit einem Verlassen der durch die im Mittelbereich angegebenen Ebene der Menüstruktur und das Aussuchen der nächsthöheren Ebene. Die Zurückbewegung in die Ausgangslage bedeutet wiederum den Übergang von der soeben aufgesuchten höheren Ebene in die darunter liegende nächste Ebene. Der Benutzer erhält damit taktil ein Gefühl dafür vermittelt, in welcher Weise er sich innerhalb der Menüstruktur bewegt.As of itself EP 0 796 766 A2 is known, the actuator can perform both a tumbling movement and a parallel displacement as additional movement and thereby be forced out. These movement possibilities or restrictions improve the handling and the movement within the menu structure. Starting from the middle position as the starting position of the actuator, the additional movement is equivalent to leaving the plane indicated by the middle of the menu structure and selecting the next higher level. The return to the starting position, in turn, means the transition from the higher level just visited to the next level below it. The user thus tactilely gets a sense of how he moves within the menu structure.

Anhand der Zeichnung ist die Erfindung weiter erläutert. Es zeigtBased the drawing, the invention is further explained. It shows

1 eine Bildschirmanzeige, die im Rahmen der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung verwendet wird, 1 a screen display, which is used in the context of the device according to the invention,

2 die Bildschirmanzeige von 1 bei Ansteuerung durch ein aus der EP 0 796 766 A2 bekanntes Betätigungsglied. 2 the screen of 1 when controlled by a from the EP 0 796 766 A2 known actuator.

In 1 ist die im Rahmen der Erfindung vorgesehene Bildschirmanzeige prinzipiell dargestellt. Innerhalb einer Anzeigefläche 1, die gleich der Bildfläche eines Bildschirms ist, befindet sich ein Randbereich 2 und ein Mittelbereich 3. Im Randbereich 2 sind an acht Stellen, die bezogen auf den Mittelpunkt der Anzeigefläche 1 in etwa jeweils um 45° gegeneinander versetzt sind, acht Symbole für die mit einem nicht dargestellten Betätigungsglied anzusteuernden Menüs dargestellt. Es handelt sich dabei um die Menüs Audio, Navigation, Fernsehen (TV), Stand-Klima usw.. In 1 the screen display provided in the context of the invention is shown in principle. Within a display area 1 , which is equal to the image area of a screen, is a border area 2 and a middle area 3 , At the edge 2 are at eight places, which are relative to the center of the display area 1 Each offset by approximately 45 ° to each other, eight symbols for the controlled with an actuator, not shown menus presented. These are the audio, navigation, television (TV), air conditioning etc. menus.

„Einstellung” bedeutet, den insgesamt einstellbaren Funktionen bzw. Funktionswerte zugeordnet, „Off” steht für die Möglichkeit, die Bildschirmanzeige auszuschalten."Attitude" means assigned to the total adjustable functions or function values, "Off" stands for the Possibility, to turn off the on-screen display.

Durch eine Zusatzbewegung (Taumel- bzw. Parallelbewegung) des Betätigungsglieds (nicht dargestellt) kann einer der acht Menüpunkte ausgewählt werden. Hierzu ist das Betätigungsglied in einer durch einen Pfeil 4 symbolisierten Richtung zu bewegen. Hier wird der Menüpunkt Audio ausgewählt. Diese Auswahl geschieht durch Bewegen des Betätigungsglieds in der durch den Pfeil 4 angegebenen Richtung um eine Strecke bzw. einen Winkel, der ein vorgegebenes Maß übersteigt. Damit ist der Menüpunkt „Audio” ausgewählt. Nach Loslassen geht das Betätigungsglied wieder in die Ruhelage zurück. Gleichzeitig erscheinen innerhalb der Anzeigefläche 1 die dem Menüpunkt 4 zugeordneten hierarchiemäßig untergeordneten Menüpunkte. Es handelt sich dabei um die innerhalb eines nicht dargestellten Rundfunkgeräts fest programmierten Sendestationen. Diese werden im Mittelbereich angezeigt. Dies ist in 2 gezeigt. Eines der Symbole, hier „Antenne” ist optisch hervorgehoben. Es handelt sich dabei um das Symbol des Senders, der zuletzt ausgewählt wurde. Nimmt der Fahrzeugbenutzer keine weiteren Einstellungen vor, so bleibt dieser Sender eingestellt.By an additional movement (wobble or parallel movement) of the actuator (not shown) one of the eight menu items can be selected. For this purpose, the actuator is in one through an arrow 4 to move symbolized direction. Here the menu item Audio is selected. This selection is done by moving the actuator in the direction indicated by the arrow 4 indicated direction by a distance or an angle which exceeds a predetermined amount. This selects the menu item "Audio". After releasing the actuator goes back to the rest position. At the same time appear within the display area 1 the menu item 4 assigned hierarchically subordinate menu items. These are the transmitting stations that are permanently programmed within a radio, not shown. These are displayed in the middle area. This is in 2 shown. One of the icons, here "antenna" is visually highlighted. It is the icon of the station last selected. If the vehicle user does not make any further settings, this station remains set.

Möchte er hingegen den Sender ändern, so dreht er hierzu das Betätigungsglied um seine Längsachse. Es handelt sich dabei um einen Dreh-Druck-Knopf, wie er aus der EP 0 366 132 B1 bekannt ist, und auch in der EP 0 796 766 A2 beschrieben ist. Dabei wird eines der den anderen Sendern zugeordneten Symbole, z. B. Klassik optisch anstelle von Antenne hervorgehoben. Die Umschaltung auf diesen Sender erfolgt, indem der Dreh-Druck-Knopf in Längsrichtung bewegt wird. Unter der Wirkung einer Rückstellfeder geht er anschließend wieder in seine Ausgangslage zurück.On the other hand, if he wants to change the transmitter, he rotates the actuator about its longitudinal axis. It is a rotary-push button, as he from the EP 0 366 132 B1 is known, and also in the EP 0 796 766 A2 is described. In this case, one of the other stations associated symbols, z. B. Classic highlighted optically instead of antenna. Switching to this transmitter is done by moving the rotary pushbutton in the longitudinal direction. Under the action of a return spring, he then goes back to its original position.

Soll nun auf eine Funktion eines anderen Menüs, beispielsweise des Menüs BC = Bordcomputer umgeschaltet werden, ist hierzu der Dreh-Druck-Knopf in der durch den Pfeil BC angegebenen Richtung zu verschwenken bzw. parallel zu verschieben. Mit dem Verschwenken einher geht die Anzeige der verschiedenen Funk tionen des Bordcomputers im Mittelbereich anstelle der in 2 dargestellten Sendersymbole. Eine Bordcomputer-Funktion, z. B. Reichweite kann standardmäßig oder nach vorbereitender Axialbewegung des Dreh-Druck-Knopfs hervorgehoben sein. Die Auswahl dieser Funktion, d. h. die Anzeige der tatsächlichen Reichweite des Fahrzeugs, kann dann erfolgen, indem der Dreh-Druck-Knopf gegebenenfalls nochmals axial bewegt wird. Im Mittelbereich erscheint beispielsweise neben dem optisch hervorgehobenen Symbol „Reichweite” der Wert der Reichweite, z. B. 225 km.If you now want to switch to a function of another menu, for example, the menu BC = on-board computer, this is the turn-push button in the direction indicated by the arrow BC to move or move parallel. The pivoting is accompanied by the display of the various functions of the on-board computer in the middle area instead of in 2 shown transmitter symbols. An on-board computer function, z. B. Range may be highlighted by default or after preparatory axial movement of the rotary pushbutton. The selection of this function, ie the display of the actual range of the vehicle, can then be done by the rotary-push button is optionally moved again axially. In the middle area, for example, next to the optically highlighted "reach" symbol, the value of the range appears, eg. 225 km.

Unmittelbar danach kann auf das Menü Navigation umgeschaltet werden, indem die Zusatzbewegung des Dreh-Druck-Knopfs in Richtung des Pfeils „Navigation” durchgeführt wird. Im Mittelbereich erscheinen die einzelnen Navigationsparameter.immediate after that, go to the navigation menu be switched by the additional movement of the rotary-pressure knob in the direction of the "Navigation" arrow. The individual navigation parameters appear in the middle area.

Auf diese Weise ist es möglich, rasch und sicher zwischen den einzelnen Menüs, den Teilmenüs, Funktionen und Funktionswerte umzuschalten.On this way it is possible fast and secure between the individual menus, submenus, functions and to switch function values.
