Definitions

  • the invention relates to an operating element for an electrical operating device with freely programmable symbols, the symbols using a controllable display and a lamp arranged in front of the display or a controllable display and optics or a controllable display and a light guide in a side facing away from the operator in the control element is projected into it and the symbolism is made visible via a transmissive layer on and in the control element on the “side facing the operator”.
  • the invention further relates to a method for generating a freely programmable symbol on a control element of an electrical control device in which a symbol in an inside of the control element by means of a light source and a controllable display or a controllable display and optics or a controllable display and a light guide is projected into it and the generated symbols are forwarded via a transmissive layer on and in the control element to a surface facing the operator, so that the operator can perceive symbols corresponding to the function of the control element.
  • control element can be used in any control devices, such as control devices for motor vehicles, input devices for cash register systems and so on, the present invention and the problem underlying it are explained in relation to an control device in a motor vehicle.
  • control devices are mostly installed in the center console or in the dashboard. These control devices are then provided with control elements which can control different functions in some cases.
  • control elements In order for the control elements not to be provided with several symbols when the control elements are assigned several times, that is to say when different functions are assigned to one control element, it is known from unpublished patent application DE 103 42 142 that the control elements have freely programmable symbols to be able to provide.
  • an image is generated in a controllable display, which can in particular be an LCD display, that is projected onto an image plane in the control element, so that it is visible to a viewer of the control element from is visible at the front. Any symbolism can be generated on the surface of the control element by using a freely programmable display.
  • an operating element in which a light is placed behind an optical system, such as a lens, for example, and a display is exposed to parallel light.
  • an optical system such as a lens, for example
  • a display is exposed to parallel light.
  • there are permeable or absorbent areas in the display so that the display serves as a transmission filter.
  • the light rays passing through the display depict the symbolism on the inner surface of the control element.
  • the control element itself is made of a translucent material, so that the symbols generated are visible on the side of the control element facing the operator.
  • DE 100 08 670 C2 also discloses a device for displaying various symbols on an operating element.
  • An image guide that guides information displayed on the screen of the display unit into the vicinity of the switch cap is provided between the display unit and the switch cap.
  • the conventional switch device when a plurality of functions are assigned to the switch cap, the information displayed on the screen of the display unit is changed in correspondence with a change in the function, so that the symbol of the switch cap is correspondingly different by multiple display by means of a single switch cap to make possible.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a structurally simple electrical operating device with freely programmable symbols, which is capable of clearly representing the operator to the activated function.
  • a method is to be developed that enables the operator to clearly and unambiguously explain the available function as well as the activated function.
  • the object of the invention is achieved in that an alternating symbolism is generated in the display of an electrical operating device.
  • the idea according to the invention now creates the possibility of using structural simple means to display a clear symbolism that explains the function on the control element.
  • the alternating symbols can, for example, represent a movement, so that the operator can immediately see the available or activated function.
  • the object of the invention is achieved in that an animated symbolism is generated on the surface of the control element by means of a symbolism alternately generated in the display.
  • Figure 1 shows an operating device for a motor vehicle with several controls.
  • a control element 1 as is usually used in motor vehicles, is shown in the front view, that is to say with the side facing the operator.
  • the control element 1 consists of a frame part 2, in which the control elements 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 are contained.
  • the frame part 2 can be used, for example, in the dashboard of a motor vehicle.
  • the control elements 3 to 8 can all be equipped as freely programmable control elements, thus creating the possibility of displaying a different function on each control element 3 to 8 by means of a different symbol.
  • Alphanumeric characters, numbers, numbers, symbols or even pictograms are understood as symbols. It goes without saying that a combination of alphanumeric characters, numbers or numbers with symbols or pictograms can also be displayed. A combination of several symbols or pictograms is also conceivable.
  • control element 6, which represents seat air conditioning
  • the control element 6 which represents seat air conditioning
  • the control element 6 is used to explain how the control element 6 according to the invention is presented to the operator.
  • the operator of the motor vehicle is shown with the control element 6 that when this control element 6 is actuated, the seat air conditioning is switched on. can be switched.
  • this usual function can not only be illuminated more intensively with functional lighting, as is usual, but an animated symbol can be reproduced on the surface of the control element. It is conceivable, for example, that an aging symbolism with different positions of the fan blade 9 shown suggests to the operator that the fan blade is moving or rotating. This visually shows the operator that the seat air conditioning is switched on.
  • the control element 4 symbolizes a distance control, which can be switched on for example when parking.
  • the use of an animated symbol can be of great importance and represents a further advantage according to the invention. If, by means of different symbols, it is not only indicated that the distance control is switched on, but also the actual distance in form by means of different symbols of different symbols, which for example also have different distances between the displayed P and the obstacle 10, the operator can also be given a visual impression of how far the vehicle is from the obstacle 10. Another advantage according to the invention is obtained when a color-changing symbolism is generated with color-changeable displays.
  • the distance between the vehicle P to be parked and the obstacle 10 could be illustrated by different colors of the radio signals 11 shown.
  • the distance between the vehicle P to be parked and the obstacle 10 could be illustrated by different colors of the radio signals 11 shown.
  • the heater which is represented in the control element 7 by way of example with a seat heater
  • This colored cold or warm detection can be an advantage in particular if, as is customary in motor vehicles today, cooling compartments are integrated in glove compartments or separate shelves. It would then be very easy for the operator to see if the air conditioning system in this sub-area had failed, since the blue symbol represented for example for cold air could then appear in a different color.
  • the number of different symbols that are displayed on the control element 3 to 8 is not limited in any way.
  • the movement of the fan blade 9 in the control element 6 can be represented by a large number of possible positions of the fan blade.
  • the approach of the vehicle, as shown in the control element 4 and explained in the description, to an obstacle 10 is not limited to a number of possible symbols to be displayed. Rather, it is even conceivable to select a correspondingly meaningful number of symbols, for example to make the approach of the motor vehicle to the obstacle easily recognizable for the operator in the form of a film.
  • control element By using a black translucent material as the control element, according to the invention either the symbol itself or the surface surrounding the symbol can be illuminated. This, too, and a combination of animated and alternating images, makes it very easy to point out to the operator of the motor vehicle, for example, a warning function or to explain a menu sequence.
