Definitions
- the present invention relates to a household appliance series according to the preamble of patent claim 1, as well as a method according to the preamble of patent claim 10.
- An operating and display field has six selection positions in an arrangement of two rows of three column-by-group grouped positions. These selection positions serve to form selection elements for the selection of individual cooking zones on the cooktop of the cooktop.
- the basic layout also has an option position for forming a further selection element or an adjustment element for making operating settings.
- the invention has for its object to improve the said prior art.
- the number of touch sensors associated with the fixed group of touch sensors may vary depending on the method of operation.
- the fixed group of touch sensors is generated within a set in the board layout, contiguous assembly field by one of the desired operating method corresponding equipment with touch sensors.
- the fixed group of touch sensors comprises at least two touch sensors, which are the same equipped in all control units.
- the fixed group of touch sensors is assigned an evaluation algorithm by a control unit. Unnecessary touch sensors within the assembly field are not subject to the evaluation algorithm and can be assigned a different function if required. Different evaluation algorithms are understood to mean that at least the signals of two touch sensors are detected by the control unit for setting the value of the operating parameter, the signals being evaluated differently depending on the operating unit.
- a same sequence of movements of a finger of a user of household appliances over the group of touch sensors usually causes a different setting of the operating parameter depending on the evaluation algorithm used.
- the value setting of the different operating units follows different operating logics.
- an evaluation algorithm comprises a slide operation.
- the value adjustment of the operating parameter is effected by sweeping over several touch sensors by means of a finger of the user of the household appliance.
- the evaluation algorithm of the slide operation can be designed, for example, such that, when sweeping in one direction, the value of the operating parameter is increased step by step and, when it is swept in the other direction, it is gradually lowered. A single sweep to the last sensor position causes the maximum setting for the operating parameter.
- the evaluation algorithm for the slide operation for example, the absolute Determine finger position and specify when putting the finger an operating parameter value as the starting value corresponding to the position of the finger relative to the arrangement of the group of touch sensors.
- the evaluation algorithm can also be designed in such a way that a multiple sweep of the touch sensors is required until an end value of the operating parameter is reached.
- the evaluation algorithm can, for example, also determine contact positions between the touch sensors and use them to increase the value.
- an evaluation algorithm comprises a scrolling operation.
- a sweeping of the touch sensors causes a gradual change of the operating parameter, whereby the stepwise change of the operating parameter continues even after sweeping the touch sensors with steadily decreasing speed in a follow-up time.
- the speed of a change in the value of the operating parameter is preferably dependent on a sweep speed of the touch sensors. This may also apply for the duration of the follow-up time. Depending on the direction of the sweep, a current operating parameter value can be increased or decreased.
- sweeping the sensors from left to right causes an increase in the operating parameter value and, in turn, sweeping from right to left causes a decrease in the operating parameter value. It is not absolutely necessary that all touch sensors are covered. Even when sweeping only a portion of the touch sensors, a corresponding change in the operating parameter value is initiated by evaluating the sweeping speed and the sweeping direction.
- an evaluation algorithm comprises an up / down operation.
- Such up / down operation can be implemented, for example, by two touch sensors that form the fixed group of touch sensors.
- one touch sensor corresponds to a plus touch panel and the other touch sensor corresponds to a minus touch panel on a control panel of the home appliance.
- the touch of the plus touchpad causes an increase in the operating parameter value and, correspondingly, a touch of the minus touchpad, a decrease in the operating parameter value.
- two touch sensors for the plus touch panel and two touch sensors for the minus touch panel can be used.
- a corresponding evaluation algorithm it is also possible to define an arbitrary position between the two touch sensors as a circular touch field, which can be recognized by a corresponding printing on the control panel of the household appliance for a user eg as a plus touch panel.
- the contact fields visible to the user can thus be arranged laterally offset relative to the center of the equipped touch sensors with respect to their center.
- Such up / down operation, or plus / minus operation is used in particular for less expensive appliances of the household appliance series.
- an evaluation algorithm comprises a direct-dial operation.
- ten touch sensors form the fixed group of touch sensors.
- a touch of a touch sensor, or an associated Bermmfeldes is evaluated so that it corresponds to a set value, for. corresponds to a power level from zero to nine.
- Each touch sensor is assigned a discrete power level. The power level can be selected directly by activating or tapping the touch sensors or the associated touch fields.
- the evaluation algorithm recognizes a contact position between the touch sensors and thus more operating parameter graduations can be selected than are fitted to the fixed group of contact sensors belonging to touch sensors.
- power levels are thus adjustable, for example, without zero position, which are displayed for the user of the household appliance by a corresponding print on the control panel of the household appliance.
- Such a value adjustment of the operating parameter is comfortable in operation and is preferably used in high-priced devices of the household appliance series.
- annular arrangement of the group of touch sensors a space-saving arrangement, as well as the generation of visually appealing control units is possible.
- An annular arrangement also allows a display unit located within the ring, which makes a direct reference to the touch sensors for the user of the household appliance.
- the contact sensors belonging to the fixed group each have the same distances from each other. This allows the formation of visually appealing operating units, as well as a high variability with regard to the use of different evaluation algorithms. For example, it is possible to produce differently comfortable operating units with regard to a slide operation. In a less expensive control unit only every second position of the assembly field can be equipped with a touch sensor, and thus a less finely resolved slide control panel can be created.
- the group of touch sensors comprises at least ten positions that can be fitted in the board layout. This results in particular advantages for a slide operation, or for a direct dial operation with respect to a higher resolution.
- the invention relates to a method for producing differently-to-use household appliances, wherein for differentiation in the operation of a specified group of touch sensors each different evaluation algorithms are assigned.

Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Haushaltsgerätebaureihe gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1, sowie ein Verfahren gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 10.The present invention relates to a household appliance series according to the preamble of patent claim 1, as well as a method according to the preamble of
Aus der
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, den genannten Stand der Technik zu verbessern.The invention has for its object to improve the said prior art.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch eine Haushaltsgerätebaureihe mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst. Des Weiteren wird die Aufgabe durch ein Verfahren zum Herstellen unterschiedlich zu bedienender Haushaltsgeräte mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 10 gelöst.This object is achieved by a household appliance series having the features of patent claim 1. Furthermore, the object is achieved by a method for producing differently-to-use household appliances having the features of
Gemäß dem kennzeichnenden Teil des Patentanspruchs 1 sind zur Werteeinstellung eines Betriebsparameters der Haushaltsgeräte einer festen Gruppe von Berührsensoren jeweils unterschiedliche Auswertealgorithmen zuweisbar. Dadurch ist es möglich, trotz eines identischen Platinenlayouts Bedieneinheiten zu erzeugen, die mittels unterschiedlicher Bedienmethoden durch den jeweiligen Benutzer der Haushaltsgeräte zu bedienen sind. Die einzelnen Bedieneinheiten unterscheiden sich in der Art ihrer Bedienung, bzw. in ihrer Bedienlogik. Das identische Platinenlayout ermöglicht eine preisgünstige Herstellung der unterschiedlichen Bedieneinheiten, da diese beispielsweise mittels eines Baukastensystems einfach erstellt werden können und je nach gewünschtem Differnzierungsgrad neben den unterschiedlichen Auswertealgorithmen zusätzlich eine unterschiedliche Bestückung aufweisen können. Bevorzugt ist zumindest ein gemeinsamer Betriebsparameter, wie z. B. eine Leisungsstufe, in den unterschiedlichen Haushaltsgeräten der Haushaltsgerätebaureihe mittels der unterschiedlichen Bedienmethoden veränderbar. Die Anzahl der zu der festen Gruppe von Berührsensoren gehörenden Berührsensoren kann je nach Bedienmethode unterschiedlich sein. Die feste Gruppe von Berührsensoren wird innerhalb eines im Platinenlayout festgelegten, zusammenhängenden Bestückungsfeldes durch eine der gewünschten Bedienmethode entsprechende Bestückung mit Berührsensoren erzeugt. Insbesondere umfasst die feste Gruppe von Berührsensoren mindestens zwei Berührsensoren, die bei allen Bedieneinheiten gleich bestückt sind. Der festen Gruppe von Berührsensoren wird durch eine Steuereinheit ein Auswertealgorithmus zugeordnet. Nicht benötigte Berührsensoren innerhalb des Bestückungsfeldes unterliegen nicht dem Auswertealgorithmus und ihnen kann bei Bedarf eine andere Funktion zugewiesen werden. Unter unterschiedlichen Auswertealgorithmen wird dabei verstanden, dass für die Werteeinstellung des Betriebsparameters zumindest die Signale zweier Berührsensoren durch die Steuereinheit erfasst werden, wobei die Signale je nach Bedieneinheit unterschiedlich ausgewertet werden. Ein gleicher Bewegungsablauf eines Fingers eines Benutzers der Haushaltsgeräte über der Gruppe von Berührsensoren bewirkt je nach verwendetem Auswertealgorithmus in der Regel eine andere Einstellung des Betriebsparameters. Dadurch ergibt sich für jede der einzelnen Bedieneinheiten eine unterschiedlich zu handhabende Werteeinstellung eines Betriebsparameters. Die Werteeinstellung der unterschiedlichen Bedieneinheiten folgt unterschiedlichen Bedienlogiken.According to the characterizing part of patent claim 1, different evaluation algorithms can be assigned in each case for setting the value of an operating parameter of the household appliances of a fixed group of touch sensors. This makes it possible to produce despite an identical board layouts operating units that are to be operated by means of different operating methods by the user of the household appliances. The individual operating units differ in the way they are operated or in their operating logic. The identical board layout allows a low-cost production of the different operating units, as they can be easily created for example by means of a modular system and depending on desired Differnzierungsgrad addition to the different evaluation algorithms may additionally have a different equipment. Preferably, at least one common operating parameter, such. B. a power level, changeable in the different household appliances of the household appliance series by means of different operating methods. The number of touch sensors associated with the fixed group of touch sensors may vary depending on the method of operation. The fixed group of touch sensors is generated within a set in the board layout, contiguous assembly field by one of the desired operating method corresponding equipment with touch sensors. In particular, the fixed group of touch sensors comprises at least two touch sensors, which are the same equipped in all control units. The fixed group of touch sensors is assigned an evaluation algorithm by a control unit. Unnecessary touch sensors within the assembly field are not subject to the evaluation algorithm and can be assigned a different function if required. Different evaluation algorithms are understood to mean that at least the signals of two touch sensors are detected by the control unit for setting the value of the operating parameter, the signals being evaluated differently depending on the operating unit. A same sequence of movements of a finger of a user of household appliances over the group of touch sensors usually causes a different setting of the operating parameter depending on the evaluation algorithm used. As a result, a value adjustment of an operating parameter to be handled differently results for each of the individual operating units. The value setting of the different operating units follows different operating logics.
Bei einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung umfasst ein Auswertealgorithmus eine Slide-Bedienung. Die Werteeinstellung des Betriebsparameters erfolgt dabei durch Überstreichen mehrerer Berührsensoren mittels eines Fingers des Benutzers des Haushaltsgerätes. Der Auswertealgorithmus der Slide-Bedienung kann beispielsweise derart ausgebildet sein, dass bei einem Überstreichen in eine Richtung der Wert des Betriebsparameters schrittweise erhöht und bei einem Überstreichen in die andere Richtung dieser schrittweise erniedrigt wird. Ein einmaliges Überstreichen bis zur letzten Sensorposition bewirkt dabei die Maximaleinstellung für den Betriebsparameter. Der Auswertealgorithmus für die Slide-Bedienung kann beispielsweise auch die absolute Fingerposition bestimmen und bei Aufsetzen des Fingers einen Betriebsparameterwert als Startwert vorgeben, der der Position des Fingers relativ zur Anordnung der Gruppe von Berührsensoren entspricht. Der Auswertealgorithmus kann aber auch derart ausgestaltet sein, dass bis zum Erreichen eines Endwertes des Betriebsparameters ein mehrfaches Überstreichen der Berührsensoren erforderlich ist. Der Auswertealgorithmus kann beispielsweise auch Berührpositionen zwischen den Berührsensoren ermitteln und zur Werteerhöhung heranziehen.In a preferred embodiment, an evaluation algorithm comprises a slide operation. The value adjustment of the operating parameter is effected by sweeping over several touch sensors by means of a finger of the user of the household appliance. The evaluation algorithm of the slide operation can be designed, for example, such that, when sweeping in one direction, the value of the operating parameter is increased step by step and, when it is swept in the other direction, it is gradually lowered. A single sweep to the last sensor position causes the maximum setting for the operating parameter. The evaluation algorithm for the slide operation, for example, the absolute Determine finger position and specify when putting the finger an operating parameter value as the starting value corresponding to the position of the finger relative to the arrangement of the group of touch sensors. However, the evaluation algorithm can also be designed in such a way that a multiple sweep of the touch sensors is required until an end value of the operating parameter is reached. The evaluation algorithm can, for example, also determine contact positions between the touch sensors and use them to increase the value.
Bevorzugt ist es, wenn ein Auswertealgorithmus eine Scroll-Bedienung umfasst. Ein Überstreichen der Berührsensoren bewirkt dabei eine schrittweise Änderung des Betriebsparameters, wobei sich die schrittweise Änderung des Betriebsparameters auch nach Überstreichen der Berührsensoren mit stetig abnehmender Geschwindigkeit in einer Nachlaufzeit fortsetzt. Dies entspricht einem Drehrad zur Werteverstellung, welches durch kurzes Anschieben in eine Drehbewegung versetzt wird, und aufgrund seiner Masse weiterläuft, bis es schließlich nach einiger Zeit zum Stillstand kommt. Die Geschwindigkeit einer Werteänderung des Betriebsparameters ist bevorzugt von einer Überstreichgeschwindigkeit der Berührsensoren abhängig. Dies kann auch für die Dauer der Nachlaufzeit zutreffen. Je nach Richtung der Überstreichbewegung kann ein aktueller Betriebsparameterwert erhöht oder erniedrigt werden. Beispielsweise bewirkt ein Überstreichen der Sensoren von links nach rechts eine Erhöhung des Betriebsparameterwertes und im Gegenzug ein Überstreichen von rechts nach links eine Erniedrigung des Betriebsparameterwertes. Dabei ist es nicht zwingend erforderlich, dass alle Berührsensoren überstrichen werden. Auch bei Überstreichen nur eines Teils der Berührsensoren wird unter Auswertung von Überstreichgeschwindigkeit und Überstreichrichtung eine entsprechende Änderung des Betriebsparameterwertes veranlasst.It is preferred if an evaluation algorithm comprises a scrolling operation. A sweeping of the touch sensors causes a gradual change of the operating parameter, whereby the stepwise change of the operating parameter continues even after sweeping the touch sensors with steadily decreasing speed in a follow-up time. This corresponds to a value adjustment wheel, which is set into a rotary motion by a short push, and continues to run due to its mass, until it comes to a standstill after some time. The speed of a change in the value of the operating parameter is preferably dependent on a sweep speed of the touch sensors. This may also apply for the duration of the follow-up time. Depending on the direction of the sweep, a current operating parameter value can be increased or decreased. For example, sweeping the sensors from left to right causes an increase in the operating parameter value and, in turn, sweeping from right to left causes a decrease in the operating parameter value. It is not absolutely necessary that all touch sensors are covered. Even when sweeping only a portion of the touch sensors, a corresponding change in the operating parameter value is initiated by evaluating the sweeping speed and the sweeping direction.
Vorzugsweise umfasst ein Auswertealgorithmus eine Up-/Down-Bedienung. Eine derartige Up-/Down-Bedienung kann beispielsweise durch zwei Berührsensoren, die die feste Gruppe von Berührsensoren bilden, umgesetzt werden. Dabei entspricht beispielsweise ein Berührsensor einem Plus-Berührfeld und der andere Berührsensor einem Minus-Berührfeld auf einem Bedienfeld des Haushaltsgerätes. Die Berührung des Plus-Berührfeldes bewirkt eine Erhöhung des Betriebsparameterwertes und entsprechend eine Berührung des Minus-Berührfeldes eine Erniedrigung des Betriebsparameterwertes. Zur Erhöhung bzw. Erniedrigung des Betriebsparameterwertes können jeweils auch mehrere Berührsensoren eingesetzt werden, die dann beispielsweise ein langgestrecktes Plus-Berührfeld, sowie ein langgestrecktes Minus-Berührfeld bilden. Beispielsweise können dabei zwei Berührsensoren für das Plus-Berührfeld und zwei Berührsensoren für das Minus-Berührfeld eingesetzt werden. Mittels eines entsprechenden Auswertealgorithmus ist es auch möglich, eine beliebige Position zwischen den beiden Berührsensoren als ein kreisförmiges Berührfeld zu definieren, das durch eine entsprechende Bedruckung auf dem Bedienfeld des Haushaltsgerätes für einen Benutzer z.B. als Plus-Berührfeld erkennbar ist. Die für den Benutzer sichtbaren Berührfelder können somit bezüglich Ihres Zentrums seitlich versetzt zu den bestückten Berührsensoren angeordnet sein. Eine derartige Up-/Down-Bedienung, bzw. Plus-/Minus-Bedienung wird insbesondere für preisgünstigere Geräte der Haushaltsgerätebaureihe eingesetzt.Preferably, an evaluation algorithm comprises an up / down operation. Such up / down operation can be implemented, for example, by two touch sensors that form the fixed group of touch sensors. For example, one touch sensor corresponds to a plus touch panel and the other touch sensor corresponds to a minus touch panel on a control panel of the home appliance. The touch of the plus touchpad causes an increase in the operating parameter value and, correspondingly, a touch of the minus touchpad, a decrease in the operating parameter value. In order to increase or decrease the operating parameter value, it is also possible in each case to use a plurality of touch sensors which then form, for example, an elongated plus touch panel and an elongate minus touch panel. For example, two touch sensors for the plus touch panel and two touch sensors for the minus touch panel can be used. By means of a corresponding evaluation algorithm, it is also possible to define an arbitrary position between the two touch sensors as a circular touch field, which can be recognized by a corresponding printing on the control panel of the household appliance for a user eg as a plus touch panel. The contact fields visible to the user can thus be arranged laterally offset relative to the center of the equipped touch sensors with respect to their center. Such up / down operation, or plus / minus operation is used in particular for less expensive appliances of the household appliance series.
In einer weiteren Ausgestaltung wird vorgeschlagen, dass ein Auswertealgorithmus eine Direktwahl-Bedienung umfasst. Dabei bilden beispielsweise zehn Berührsensoren die feste Gruppe von Berührsensoren. Eine Berührung eines Berührsensors, bzw. eines zugeordneten Berührfeldes wird derart ausgewertet, dass sie einem Einstellwert z.B. einer Leistungsstufe von Null bis Neun entspricht. Jedem Berührsensor ist dabei eine diskrete Leistungsstufe zugeordnet. Die Leistungsstufe ist durch Aktivieren bzw. Antippen der Berührsensoren, bzw. der zugeordneten Berührfelder direkt wählbar. Insbesondere ist es vorgesehen, dass der Auswertealgorithmus eine Berührpositionen zwischen den Berührsensoren erkennt und somit mehr Betriebsparameterabstufungen wählbar sind, als zur festen Gruppe von Berührsensoren gehörende Berührsensoren bestückt sind. Mittels der 10 Berührsensoren sind somit beispielsweise ohne Null-Position 18 Leistungsstufen einstellbar, die für den Benutzer des Haushaltsgerätes durch eine entsprechende Bedruckung auf dem Bedienfeld des Haushaltsgerätes dargestellt werden. Eine derartige Werteeinstellung des Betriebsparameters ist komfortabel in der Bedienung und wird bevorzugt bei hochpreisigen Geräten der Haushaltsgerätebaureihe eingesetzt.In a further embodiment, it is proposed that an evaluation algorithm comprises a direct-dial operation. For example, ten touch sensors form the fixed group of touch sensors. A touch of a touch sensor, or an associated Berührfeldes is evaluated so that it corresponds to a set value, for. corresponds to a power level from zero to nine. Each touch sensor is assigned a discrete power level. The power level can be selected directly by activating or tapping the touch sensors or the associated touch fields. In particular, it is provided that the evaluation algorithm recognizes a contact position between the touch sensors and thus more operating parameter graduations can be selected than are fitted to the fixed group of contact sensors belonging to touch sensors. By means of the 10 touch sensors 18 power levels are thus adjustable, for example, without zero position, which are displayed for the user of the household appliance by a corresponding print on the control panel of the household appliance. Such a value adjustment of the operating parameter is comfortable in operation and is preferably used in high-priced devices of the household appliance series.
Indem die Gruppe von Berührsensoren in einer gradlinigen Reihe positioniert ist, wird für die Benutzer der Haushaltsgeräte der Haushaltsgerätebaureihe ein für alle Auswertealgorithmen ergonomisch günstiger Bewegungsablauf zur Werteeinstellung des Betriebsparameters ermöglicht.By positioning the group of touch sensors in a straight-line row, users of domestic appliances of the household appliance series are enabled to use a motion sequence which is ergonomically favorable for all evaluation algorithms for setting the value of the operating parameter.
Durch eine ringförmige Anordnung der Gruppe von Berührsensoren ist eine platzsparende Anordnung, sowie die Erzeugung optisch ansprechender Bedieneinheiten ermöglicht. Eine ringförmige Anordnung ermöglicht zudem eine innerhalb des Rings angeordnete Anzeigeeinheit, die für den Benutzer des Haushaltsgerätes einen direkten Bezug zu den Berührsensoren herstellt.By an annular arrangement of the group of touch sensors a space-saving arrangement, as well as the generation of visually appealing control units is possible. An annular arrangement also allows a display unit located within the ring, which makes a direct reference to the touch sensors for the user of the household appliance.
In einer weiteren Ausgestaltung wird vorgeschlagen, dass die der festen Gruppe zugehörigen Berührsensoren jeweils gleiche Abstände zueinander aufweisen. Dies ermöglicht die Ausbildung optisch ansprechender Bedieneinheiten, sowie eine hohe Variabilität bezüglich der Verwendung unterschiedlicher Auswertealgorithmen. Beispielsweise ist es möglich, unterschiedlich komfortable Bedieneinheiten bezüglich einer Slide-Bedienung zu erzeugen. Bei einer preisgünstigeren Bedieneinheit kann dabei nur jede zweite Position des Bestückungsfeldes mit einem Berührsensor bestückt werden, und somit ein weniger fein auflösendes Slide-Bedienfeld geschaffen werden.In a further embodiment, it is proposed that the contact sensors belonging to the fixed group each have the same distances from each other. This allows the formation of visually appealing operating units, as well as a high variability with regard to the use of different evaluation algorithms. For example, it is possible to produce differently comfortable operating units with regard to a slide operation. In a less expensive control unit only every second position of the assembly field can be equipped with a touch sensor, and thus a less finely resolved slide control panel can be created.
Für eine möglichst flexible Ausgestaltung der unterschiedlichen Bedieneinheiten ist es bevorzugt, dass zur Erstellung der festen Gruppe von Berührsensoren mehr als fünf bestückbare Positionen im Platinenlayout vorgesehen sind. Besonders bevorzugt ist dabei, wenn die Gruppe von Berührsensoren mindestens zehn bestückbare Positionen im Platinenlayout umfasst. Dadurch ergeben sich insbesondere Vorteile für eine Slide-Bedienung, bzw. für eine Direktwahl-Bedienung bezüglich einer höheren Auflösung.In order to design the different operating units as flexibly as possible, it is preferred that more than five positions that can be fitted in the board layout are provided to create the fixed group of contact sensors. It is particularly preferred if the group of touch sensors comprises at least ten positions that can be fitted in the board layout. This results in particular advantages for a slide operation, or for a direct dial operation with respect to a higher resolution.
Des Weiteren betrifft die Erfindung ein Verfahren zum Herstellen unterschiedlich zu bedienender Haushaltsgeräte, wobei zur Differenzierung in der Bedienung einer festgelegten Gruppe von Berührsensoren jeweils unterschiedliche Auswertealgorithmen zugewiesen werden.Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for producing differently-to-use household appliances, wherein for differentiation in the operation of a specified group of touch sensors each different evaluation algorithms are assigned.
