Definitions

  • the invention relates to an operating device according to the preamble of claim 1 and an associated operating method for an electrical appliance or an electric household appliance, in particular a cooking system.
  • a cooking system is here in particular a hob and / or a Oven or a stove.
  • cooking systems are often capacitive or optical control or switching elements used, preferably under a control panel, for example a glass ceramic hob, are arranged with a control surface.
  • These switching elements recognize whether, for example, a finger is on a control surface or not.
  • Sliding button or the like can use this type of controls only be realized if several of the controls in a row to be ordered. This requires a considerable amount of space and high costs.
  • the object of the invention is an operating device for an electrical appliance and to provide an associated operating method with which the Disadvantages of the prior art can be avoided and in particular allows safe operation of a household electrical appliance and increased the ease of use.
  • the invention is based on the idea under the operating surface of an optical Recording device, such as a camera, as part of a motion sensor to arrange the at least one movement or point of contact recognizes on the control panel. It determines a position and / or a change in position of the movement or contact point on the control surface. To activate an operating function, the position becomes or evaluated the position change of the contact point. So if a finger is on or on a specific point of the control panel is placed or moved, so this is recognized and with a specific Operating function linked.
  • an optical Recording device such as a camera
  • the position and / or the Position change of the operation for example by a finger, in can dissolve many levels, for example in 10 to 50 levels. Thereby can be actuations or movements in both x and in the y-direction. It is enough if the optical recording device has a limited resolution, for example in screened Steps, as mentioned above. It can be a kind of camera with line resolution be.
  • control panel is illuminated from below, is due to the lighting the detection of the movement or the contact point on or improved on the control surface.
  • the lighting can be varied Done way.
  • any movements such as rotational movements and / or linear movements can corresponding optical systems how lenses and / or mirrors are present. This can also be a larger area to be covered than actually from the recording device possible.
  • the operating surface as a line and / or executed as a multi-line field, in particular with several lines.
  • Each control surface can have its own function be provided, which, for example, by printed symbols can be made clear.
  • the optical recording device the control surface continuously or with fixed time intervals.
  • the sampling with temporal Distances has the advantage that the evaluation is easier since the amount of data is less.
  • the position and / or the position change of the movement or Touch point on the control surface can be through an image comparison successively made by the optical pickup device Images of the control surface are determined.
  • the optical recording device For example, be executed as a camera, the Camera can be advantageously realized by a CCD chip. she can in the infrared range have their maximum sensitivity and therein operate.
  • a recording device can be used, as it otherwise used in so-called optical computer mice, advantageous with minimal structural changes. This gives a very inexpensive arrangement.
  • the cover a contact against the lighting can additionally as Operation are evaluated, thereby increasing the operator safety leaves. This also applies to movements.
  • the operating method according to the invention for a cooking system determined after detecting a movement or touch on one Control panel a position and / or movement of the contact point with a camera. Subsequently, the position and / or the movement the point of contact evaluated and depending on the evaluation result an operating function activated.
  • FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of an operating device.
  • one arranged on a cooktop 1 comprises Operating device 11, a control surface 2, a camera 3 as optical recording device and an evaluation unit 4.
  • a finger 13 is placed on the control surface 2 at a certain point.
  • an optical lens 7 as optical System arranged between Camera 3 and control surface 2 is an optical lens 7 as optical System arranged.
  • the lens 7 widens the field of view of the camera 3 so to speak, so that the control surface while just as many individual Areas like the camera have the resolution, these single ones Surfaces are larger.
  • Such a lens 7 is for the Professional easy to pick.
  • a lighting 8 from below for the control surface. 2 symbolically represented. It can also be done in a variety of ways be, in turn, similar to what is known as so-called optical computer mice. You can also use the camera 3 or the controller 4 be connected, for example, to control the illumination intensity.
  • the illustrated control surface 2 is designed as a row with multiple points of contact, in the present case 10 points of contact. These are marked on the surface, as can be seen from the drawing.
  • the number of pixels of the line may be, for example, 10 or 32, 64 or 128 depending on the need and the desired resolution.
  • the control surface can be about 5x5cm 2 or even 6x1cm 2 . It can also be provided as a field several lines.
  • the control surface 2 can be illuminated to detect its limits and also a touch by the optional illumination unit 15 shown at the top right. The lighting is from below.
  • the camera 3 with the line 5 shown symbolically at the top detects a point of contact on the control surface 2, for example by the finger 13, which moves from above to the operating surface 2 is or is placed on the contact point on the control surface.
  • the Camera 3 makes about 150 frames per second, that of the evaluation unit 4 are evaluated in terms of changes, for example taken by a comparison of consecutively Images. It can be advantageous for reducing the processing costs also take much less pictures, for example, 10 to 20 per Second.
  • the recording frequency can also depend on, if at all a change of state occurs. Then it can be relative change long distances to short distances.
  • the evaluation unit 4 determines the position and / or a Position change of the contact point.
  • a specific point of contact can a certain function, in particular a switching function, be assigned. This may, for example, be an ON or OFF switching function be. If there is a movement, then by comparison the images are determined in which direction the object or the finger 13 was moved and how fast. Depending on Evaluation result activates the evaluation unit 4 one of the position and / or the change of position assigned operating function.
  • the camera 3 is designed as a CCD camera, for example as CCD chip with 17x17 lines can be executed. An enlargement or extension of the recording field of the camera 3 is through the lens. 7 or other optical systems such as mirrors or the like possible.
  • a faulty or incorrectly recognized operator input can for example, by flashing the control surface and / or a corresponding Signal to be signaled.
  • an operating device for a cooking system with a hob and a control surface under the control surface at least a control with a touch detection function arranged.
  • the at least one operating element is a motion sensor Running with a camera that has a movement or a touch point on the control panel detects and a position and / or determines a change in position of the contact point on the control surface.
  • An evaluation unit evaluates in an operating method for activation an operating function, the position or the position change from the point of contact.
