Definitions

  • the invention relates to an operating unit for controlling electronic Equipment.
  • From US 5 283 558 is an operating unit with a keypad known that with conductor tracks 1, ..., p and 1, ..., q provided membrane layers.
  • the conductor tracks 1 ..., p and 1, ..., q are arranged at right angles to one another, so that (p x q) there are discrete crossing points. These crossing points set the possible print positions of the keypad When you press one of the print positions, the crossing conductor tracks in contact with each other so that coordinate currents dependent on the pressure point are supplied.
  • the Number of different coordinate streams is on (p x q) limited and the touch points are not freely definable.
  • the areas of application of this control unit are consequently limited and the design of the touch surface is to the Crossing points bound.
  • Self-learning remote controls data transmission mostly via infrared
  • there are no other design options available neither in terms of the graphic appearance, nor the shape of the controls, nor the complexity of the controls linked commands.
  • Table remote controls (data transmission via infrared or wired) are identical to those of Handheld remote controls, however, generally have larger dimensions Control unit as well as its control elements. Here are mostly a specified number of pre-assembled switches, controllers, buttons and The like retrospectively with certain control commands wired. There are limited configuration options that however not by the user himself, but by appropriately trained people People must be made. A free design of the Switch shapes and the arrangement of the controls is simple and Generally possible only in advance, then only with considerable Effort or no longer to be carried out.
  • LCD displays built into control devices provide a relatively flexible Arrangement of controls, related functions and the shape.
  • control unit In principle, however, they are available according to the current state of the art standing advertisements at a low price either only black and white versions, or limited to very small dimensions. This too The type of control unit is generally not for individualization designed and has only a very low point resolution for cost reasons on. In order to remain legible for the user, they must be relatively large Symbols or controls are used, or they fit relatively few controls on the display.
  • Digitizing tablets continue to be used in connection with computer applications

  • the design of the controls is not geometric, graphic or functional restrictions to be functional and intuitive Allow operator guidance.
  • the coordinates are Cartesian coordinates, preferably X / Y coordinates (Claim 2).
  • the symbolic buttons are on one above the pressure sensitive one Foil lying carrier layer (claim 4).
  • This backing layer can for example as printed paper or printed, thin film. In principle, however, any other printable carrier medium is also suitable. There are changes to the visible design of the symbolic buttons subsequently possible by simply exchanging the carrier layer (claim 5).
  • buttons can be directly on the are pressure-sensitive layer (claim 3). In this case, then however, the desired simple, subsequent reconfiguration option difficult, because with each design change of the control elements a new one pressure sensitive film must be mounted.
  • the graphic layout created is optionally printed on paper using standard printers, Foil, the pressure-sensitive foil itself or any other suitable one transferable printable information carrier. That way ensured that the spatial distribution of the controls on the pressure sensitive film is identical to that on the printed layer. In addition, visible marks applied to both layers ensure that Final assembly for the necessary lateral match.
  • a third layer can optionally be arranged.
  • the Standard foils generally have such a high inner Resolution on that incorrect operation due to the above effects can be excluded.

  • one control element can be represented per I x -I y pair.
  • the resolution per unit space is determined on the one hand by the accuracy of the pressure-sensitive film, and on the other hand by the resolving power of the downstream evaluation unit. Overall, there is a resolving power which is far above the comparable operating units realized according to the current state of the art.
  • the microcontroller can all coordinate streams from each symbolic button corresponding area originate from that button assign associated coordinate values (claim 7). Since this is on the pressure-sensitive layer with the generation of total currents in X or Y direction is equivalent, this results in a certain blurring of the Pressure point information. By forming the focus of the Pressure point information in the evaluation unit can have slight deviations are compensated by the target pressure point specified by the control element, without there being any operating errors. The concept presented offers in addition, therefore, a certain fault tolerance towards incorrect operation.
  • Another advantage of the invention is that of conventional ones Control units increased pressure sensitivity.
  • a simple one is enough Pressure on the pressure sensitive area to the desired control command or trigger the control sequence.
  • Sensitivity is also a function here both the pressure-sensitive film and the resolving power of the downstream evaluation unit.
  • All operations can be done both locally and from the Distance over e.g. Make ISDN, LAN or WAN connections, if an appropriately configured control unit was used.
  • a Such remote control option relates to the one hand Operations for device control, as well as for remote loading new functions or function sequences into the microcontroller as also changes to existing functions or sequences.
