Definitions

  • command "slip” or "pinch” is "slide” or “pinch” in English corresponds to the touch of at least a portion of the control area of a touchpad by a control means.
  • the sensitivity level of this type of human machine interface often requires a fairly fine adjustment. In practice, it is a matter of finding a compromise that makes it possible to take into account the commands of the different users, whatever the characteristics of the means of commands used, while limiting the sensitivity of the touchpad so as not to trigger commands from unwanted way.
  • One of the main problems of this type of human machine interface resides in the sensitivity of the detection of a command of the user and in the haptic effect generated when taking into account the command.
  • the control device is configured to determine the function to be activated when the received signal level is greater than or equal to a threshold value as a function of the number of electrodes of the electrode array of the capacitive touchpad for which the signal level is higher than or equal to said threshold value.
  • the haptic feedback device is configured to provide a different haptic feedback as a function of the number of electrodes of the electrode array of the capacitive touch pad whose signal level is greater than or equal to said threshold value; and or
  • the control device is configured to have a threshold value for the control zone type "drag” or "pinch” greater than the threshold value for the control zone type "press".
  • the invention also relates to a dashboard of a motor vehicle comprising a man-machine interface according to the invention.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates a human machine interface according to one embodiment of the invention
  • the invention relates to a human machine interface for controlling at least two different functions of a motor vehicle.
  • the touchpad 20 is preferably capacitive type. As shown in FIG. 1, the touchpad 20 may comprise a plurality of control zones, for example three control zones 21, 22 and 23. Each of the control zones 21, 22, 23 is configured to receive at least one control corresponding to at least one function of a motor vehicle.
  • the different control zones 21, 22, 23 are dedicated to a type of control.
  • control zones 21 and 22 may be dedicated to "push” or "push” commands in English.
  • This type of control corresponds to the support by a control means, for example a finger or possibly several, of at least a portion of the control area of the touchpad.
  • the control zone 23 may be dedicated to commands such as "slide” or “pinch” or “slide” or “pinch” in English. This type of control corresponds to the touching of at least a portion of the control area of the touchpad by a control means, for example one or two fingers of the user.
  • the inventors have realized that the optimum level of sensitivity of the capacitive touch screen is different for the different types of control.
  • the optimum level of sensitivity of the capacitive touch screen is different for the different types of control.
  • the touchpad 20 comprises an electrode network 50 electrically charged.
  • the electrode array is covered with a glass plate 60 to protect them.
  • the electrodes may be IOT, indium-tin oxide, to ensure transparency of the touchpad.
  • the representative signal of a user control at the touch pad is typically related to the disturbance of the electrostatic field generated by the electrode array upon user control at the touch screen. Indeed, when the user approaches a control means, for example a finger or a stylus, the touchpad, it disturbs the electrostatic field generated by the electrodes. This disturbance can be measured and its amplitude compared to a threshold value at the level of the control device 30.
  • the amplitude of the signal representative of a control of the user at said touchpad is proportional to the capacitance measured between each electrode of the electrode array and the control means of the user, for example a user's finger or a stylus, during a command of the user at the touchpad.
  • the haptic feedback device 40 is configured to provide a haptic feedback to the user of the man-machine interface when taking into account his command.
  • the haptic feedback may be of different forms, for example a visual feedback, for example in the form of the display of information, and / or sound, for example in the form of a sound transmitted to the user, and or touch, for example in the form of a vibration returned to the user at the touchpad.
  • the intensity and frequency of the vibrations perceived by the user may be different depending on the user's pressing force on the touchpad.
  • this makes it possible to make a haptic feedback more easily understandable and identifiable by the user.
  • a vibratory haptic effect it is possible to vary the intensity and / or the frequencies of the vibrations as a function of the control zone. This is particularly advantageous when the control areas are dedicated to types of commands. Indeed, depending on the type of command, "press”, “drag” or “pinch”, the most appropriate haptic effect is not necessarily the same.
  • the man-machine interface according to the invention not only makes it possible to adapt the sensitivity of the different control zone but also to adapt the corresponding haptic feedback.
  • the control device 30 of the man-machine interface according to the invention is configured to receive from the touchpad a signal representative of a user command at the touchpad.
  • the control device 30 makes it possible to take into account the control of the user when the level of the received signal is greater than or equal to a threshold value.
  • control device of the human-machine interface is configured to determine for at least one of the control areas of the touchpad the function to be activated according to the number of electrodes of the electrode array of the capacitive touchpad whose signal level is greater than or equal to a threshold value.
  • the signal received by the control device corresponds to capacitance values measured at an array of electrodes disposed in the touchpad 20.
  • the consideration for activating the function of the number of electrodes of the electrode array of the capacitive touchpad whose signal level is greater than or equal to a threshold value provides an additional dimension to the man-machine interface according to FIG. invention.
  • a control zone of the touchpad it is possible for a control zone of the touchpad to provide threshold values in terms of the number of electrodes.
  • the control device allows the activation of a first function, if the number of electrodes whose signal is greater than said threshold of taking into account corresponds to a zone 2 2
  • the control device allows the activation of a second function, and if the number of electrodes whose signal is greater than said threshold of taking into account corresponds to an area greater than 100 mm 2 , the control device allows the activation of a third function.
  • control device is also configured to include different threshold values for at least two of the control areas of the touchpad.
  • the threshold values of each zone determine the sensitivities of the zones.
  • the control device 30 makes it possible to adapt the sensitivities of the different control zones of the touchpad.
  • control device may be configured to have a threshold value for a "drag” or “pinch” type control zone greater than the threshold value for a "push” type control zone.
