Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for setting a parameter value in a vehicle, in which an input gesture is detected in a detection area.
- the detection area includes a large number of positions.
- the input gesture captured is assigned to a first or second gesture type. In this case, if the recorded input gesture has been assigned to the first gesture type, an input trajectory is determined and the parameter value is set as a function of the input trajectory. If the detected input gesture has been assigned to the second gesture type, an input position of the plurality of positions is determined and the parameter value is set as a function of the input position.
- the invention also relates to a device for setting a parameter value in one
- Vehicle comprising a detection unit which is configured to detect an input gesture in a detection area.
- the detection area includes a large number of positions. It also includes a control unit that is configured to process the
- the control unit is also set up to determine an input trajectory and to determine the parameter value as a function of the first gesture type when the recorded input gesture has been assigned
- a large number of electronic devices are provided, the setting and operation of which must be made possible for the driver or another vehicle occupant.
- These devices include, for example, an air conditioning unit through which air can be directed into certain areas of the vehicle interior and by means of which further elements such as seat heaters can also be controlled.
- Other facilities include a navigation system,
- Driver assistance systems as well as communication and multimedia units, such as one
- Telephone system or devices for reproducing music and speech such as a radio or CD player.
- set parameters must be easy to grasp for the user in order to be able to assess whether a currently set parameter value should be changed or whether suitable settings can be retained.
- DE 10 2016 200 110 A1 discloses a device for operating a heating / air conditioning system of a means of transport, in which a finger groove is formed in an essentially flat surface, in which swiping gestures can be detected.
- the present invention is based on the object of providing a method and a device for setting a parameter value in a vehicle, in which particularly precise, simple and reliable operation is possible.
- the method according to the invention of the type mentioned at the beginning is characterized in that two configurations can be activated for the detection area, namely a scale configuration and an increment configuration.
- the scale configuration of the detection area is activated and, if the recorded input gesture has been assigned to the second gesture type, the increment configuration of the detection area is activated.
- Parameter values are assigned to the positions of the detection area in the scale configuration. In the increment configuration, the positions of a first sub-area of the
- Coverage area each assigned parameter values and the positions at least one An increment for changing the parameter value incrementally is assigned to the second sub-area of the detection area.
- the parameter value can advantageously be based on a common
- the detection area for different types of input gestures can be set particularly flexibly, precisely and quickly.
- the user can choose between a selection of an absolute parameter value and a relative change in the currently set parameter value.
- the detected gesture is evaluated differently depending on which type of gesture the user uses.
- the functions assigned to the subareas change depending on the type of gesture. The same areas of an element can therefore be used for different types of inputs.
- the first and second sub-areas are in particular different from one another and are designed as real subsets of the detection area.
- a third sub-area is also formed, the second and third sub-areas being assigned increments of the same amount with different signs. That is, the second sub-area is an incremental part
- further sub-areas can be provided to which, for example, different increments are assigned in terms of amount and / or sign.
- various other gesture types can also be evaluated in different ways, for example various sub-gesture types of the second gesture type; in this case different increments can be in the same subrange
- an actuation object is used to carry out an input gesture, in particular the hand or a finger of the user.
- the user's finger is the object to be actuated; however, the information refers to other things
- an “input gesture” means a certain position of the
- Input gestures can be designed in a manner known per se. They include, in particular, tapping gestures, swiping gestures and holding gestures as well as combinations of several such gestures, possibly executed immediately one after the other.
- the gestures are carried out in the detection area, which in particular comprises a surface of a detection unit.
- Input gesture the user is provided with a particularly simple and intuitive input option.
- gestures can be carried out in a detection area of practically any configuration and, if necessary, detected with different detection methods.
- a gesture can also be recorded in three-dimensional space.
- a virtual operating object for example a virtual button
- the gesture can be recorded in a spatial region in which the virtual operating object is generated, for example, by means of a projection or by virtual reality methods, and a gesture is recorded with reference to this virtual operating object.
- a position, a gesture trajectory, a direction and / or a speed of a gesture are recorded for this purpose.
- the detection of the gesture can, for example, be optical or electronic
- Detection procedures take place; For example, a laser,
- the positions of the first partial area of the detection area are the same in the incremental configuration
- Positions of the second subrange instead of the absolute parameter values the increment is assigned.
- this can lead to the fact that, due to the transition from the scale configuration to the increment configuration, a specific parameter value can no longer be directly selected and recorded.
- a different parameter value is first set and then further changed incrementally.
- the detection area also includes an incremental area in the scale configuration, in which an actuation for changing the incremental
- Positions of the detection area are added to this incremental area and together with this form the second sub-area of the increment configuration. This means that the increment range existing in the scale configuration is combined in the increment configuration with other ranges that were previously assigned to certain parameter values.
- the second sub-area is arranged at an edge of the detection area.
- the second sub-area is arranged in a left section of a horizontally running, elongated detection area, this second sub-area being assigned to a step-by-step decrease in the currently set parameter value.
- a third sub-area is arranged in a right section of the detection area, in particular on the right edge, the position of the third sub-area being assigned to a gradual increase in the parameter value.
- the sub-areas are arranged, for example, in upper and lower areas of a vertically aligned detection area.
- the first type of gesture comprises a swiping gesture.
- the parameter value is set in the manner of a slider, the positioning of which selects an absolute parameter value.
- an actuating object in particular touches a surface in the
- the actuation trajectory comprises a chronologically ordered sequence of actuation positions along which the actuation object is moved. That is, a start and an end position can be determined on the basis of the actuation trajectory. Furthermore, the time sequence of the movement can be determined, in particular a point in time of the beginning and a point in time of the end of the contact.
- a control signal is generated, for example in order to set the parameter value if the touch begins at the start position, while the actuation position changes along the actuation trajectory and / or if the touch is released at the end position.
- the parameter value can therefore be adjusted while the washing gesture is being carried out; it then follows the path of the object to be actuated through the detection area and is changed each time a position that is assigned to a different parameter value is reached.
- the second type of gesture includes a tap gesture.
- the parameter value can thereby advantageously be set in an especially simple incremental manner by tapping it multiple times if necessary.
- the detection area and the touch is released again after a certain time, the touch position essentially not changing. So there can be a
- a duration of contact and a start and end time can be determined.
- a control signal is generated, for example in order to set the parameter value when the touch begins at the actuation position or when the touch is released.
- a control signal can be generated when a predetermined time interval expires, in particular with a hold gesture, which can also be referred to as “long press” or “long push”.
- control signals can furthermore be generated each time an integral multiple of the predetermined time interval expires, so that the control signal is automatically generated at certain intervals while the touch is held over a longer period of time.
- the second type of gesture is depending on a duration
- the operation being carried out in particular continuously.
- the user can advantageously use the different gesture types in a particularly simple and targeted manner in order to set the parameter value.
- an input gesture of the second gesture type is recognized when a short tap was detected.
- a hold can also be detected, on the basis of which the parameter value is changed with a different increment or jumps to a predetermined parameter value; in this way, for example, a maximum, minimum and / or another predetermined parameter value can be set directly.
- the detection area can be designed in a manner known per se.
- it comprises a touch-sensitive surface on which the detection area is arranged.
- the touch-sensitive surface is also designed in a manner known per se and touches can be detected, for example, by means of capacitive or resistive sensors.
- the detection area has a longitudinal extent and a
- Transverse extent wherein the transverse extent runs perpendicular to the longitudinal extent and the longitudinal extent is at least twice, preferably at least three times, the transverse extent.
- the transverse extent runs particularly perpendicular to the
- the detection area is elongated and is advantageously particularly suitable for setting and changing a parameter value.
- the detection area can be designed, for example, as a slider element through which the functionality of a slider is implemented. It can also include a button that implements the functionality of a push button switch. As an alternative or in addition, other elements can be provided which, in terms of their effect and operation, are comparable, for example, to an analog rotary control.
- the positions of the detection area are assigned parameter values in the scale configuration so that the parameter values along a scale in the
- Detection area are arranged.
- areas with a multiplicity of positions are formed, each of which is assigned to a parameter value are, and these areas are arranged side by side along a longitudinal extent of the detection area.
- the parameter value can thus advantageously be set particularly easily.
- the positions of the first partial area in the incremental configuration are also assigned to parameter values in this way, that is to say they can be arranged along a scale which is in particular identical to the scale of the scale configuration.
- highlights are arranged in the detection area in such a way that positions assigned to a common parameter value can be detected.
- Highlighting can include, for example, a colored marking, for example an imprint, or an illumination of an area of the detection area.
- a colored marking for example an imprint
- an illumination of an area of the detection area for example, permanently visible or variably displayed borders of areas on a surface in the detection area can be designed such that the bordered areas are each assigned a common parameter value. These areas can therefore also be used as
- the device according to the invention of the type mentioned at the beginning is characterized in that two configurations can be activated for the detection area, namely a scale configuration and an increment configuration.
- the control unit is set up to activate the scale configuration of the detection area when the recorded input gesture has been assigned to the first gesture type, and to activate the incremental configuration of the detection area when the recorded input gesture has been assigned to the second gesture type.
- Parameter values are assigned to the positions of the detection area in the scale configuration.
- the positions of a first sub-area of the detection area are each assigned parameter values, and the positions of at least a second sub-area of the detection area are assigned an increment for changing the parameter value incrementally.
- the device according to the invention is designed in particular to implement the method according to the invention described above.
- the device thus has the same advantages as the method according to the invention.
- a touch-sensitive surface is formed in the detection area, with one in the area of the touch-sensitive surface
- Surface structuring is formed, in particular a depression or elevation. As a result, operable areas can advantageously be found and operated particularly easily.
- a feeler aid is provided in this way, with the aid of which the user can detect the position and extent of the detection areas.
- a tactilely detectable surface deformation can include a locally changed roughness.
- a substantially punctiform elevation or depression can be formed on the surface, or an elongate depression or elevation can be provided.
- a depression can also run in a straight line or along a curved line.
- Such a luminous element can in particular indicate operability by highlighting an actuatable area of the detection area.
- Luminous elements arranged in the detection area For example, you can use a
- Form light segment display in which several light elements are arranged side by side along a longitudinal extension in a straight line or in a curved line.
- the light status changes in particular when the gesture type of an input gesture has been recognized and the transition between the scale and increment configuration is carried out.
- the lighting states of various lighting elements can highlight areas in which the positions are assigned absolute parameter values, which can thus be selected directly. You can also highlight areas in which positions are assigned to an increment and the parameter value can be changed incrementally by actuating them.
- the lighting state of a switching element can also output the set parameter, for example by illuminating a symbol, a certain intensity or a color that is assigned to a currently set parameter value.
- the device further comprises a sensor for detecting an approach to the touch-sensitive surface in a manner known per se. If such an approach is detected, the lighting elements can be controlled so that they at least emit light of the basic intensity in order to display the position of the light elements to a user or to indicate an input option, for example.
- the parameter value relates to a setting of a temperature, a fan or a media playback device of the vehicle.

- “overlighting” from a brightly illuminated luminous area to an adjacent, unlit or less illuminated luminous area is concealed in that all luminous areas are illuminated with at least one basic intensity. Only the illuminated areas actually used for the display are illuminated with a higher display intensity. This means that all the light surfaces that are not used to indicate the blower level are evenly illuminated, instead of being illuminated at different intensities
- Overlighting compensated For example, in the case shown in FIG a certain intensity is already being emitted.
- the LEDs of these luminous areas LED4 and LED5 are therefore only operated with a lower current than the LEDs of luminous areas LED6 and LED7 positioned further away, in order to achieve a uniform basic intensity of the LEDs LED4 to LED7.
- the directly adjacent luminous area LED4 is operated with 5% and the further adjacent luminous area LED5 with 7%, while the more distant luminous areas LED6 and LED7 are operated with 10%.

- the symbols 112a, 112b and the line 112 can be permanently visibly printed on or can only be made visible by means of a ⁇ / ac / c pane / technique when they are illuminated from behind.
- touch-sensitive areas 149, 141a, 141b, 142a to 142i are indicated by dashed lines. In these areas the
- the actuation object is located in a specific spatial area or at a position, for example just above the surface of the detection unit 2.
- an actuation at a specific position is detected in that the sensor elements Sa to Sc depending on the position of the
- the strength of a signal detected by a capacitive sensor depends on the distance from an actuating object entering a detection area.
- the user touches the slider element 112 at any point or shifts the position of his movement along the slider element 112.
- different signal strengths are thus detected by the sensor elements Sa to Sc.
- the position is determined on the basis of these signal strengths and a parameter value is set as a function of the determined position.
- different spatial areas in particular area areas on the surface of the detection unit 2
- areas that are separate from one another in order to detect actuations therein.
- these actuations can also be evaluated differently depending on the respective surface area.
- a surface area can be used as a button element with a specific
- Response behavior that is to say, for example, be configured with certain threshold values for time intervals for actuation, or as a slider element with a different response behavior.
- the surface areas within which actuations can be detected can only be designed virtually, instead of requiring a separate area for each arbitrary area.
- a coherent area can be formed within which the position of an actuation or an actuation trajectory is detected, or individual areas can be formed in which an actuation is detected if it is assigned to any position within these individual areas.
- the set level is displayed by a segment display in the area of the slider element 112. This takes place in the manner explained above with reference to FIGS. 3A to 3C. When the slider element 112 is actuated at a position, this is illuminated at the corresponding position and the
- the corresponding level of the fan is set. However, the
- the exemplary embodiment not only detects the area in which the actuation position is currently located, but an approach to surrounding areas is also detected.
- the user can move his finger along the slider element 112 and thereby approach an area that is assigned to a next stage of the fan.
- the lighting element arranged in this area is illuminated with increasing intensity the closer the user gets to the area of the next step.
- the user reaches the next area it is illuminated with the normal display intensity.
- the parameter value in the exemplary embodiment of the method is detected by means of fewer sensors, particularly flexibly and / or with a higher resolution. While known methods provide at least one sensor element for each detectable position, in the method explained fewer sensors are used in a particularly space-saving, cost-efficient and simple manner.
- Start position at which the contact begins an end position at which the contact ends, and a trajectory along which the actuating object moves along the surface from the start to the end position.
- the duration of the contact and / or the stay at a specific position can be recorded. If necessary, a direction and / or speed of a movement along the surface can also be determined and evaluated.
- a number of activation options can be distinguished, which in particular denote different types of activation for entering or selecting a parameter value and which are also referred to below as “use cases”. These can be used, for example, for buttons or slider elements both in touch-sensitive surface areas and for mechanical switches.
- the user can actuate the touch-sensitive area by “tapping”, with a time interval V being recorded between the beginning and the end of the touch that is shorter than a certain threshold value to: At ⁇ to.
- the threshold value to can be, for example, 400 ms or 800 ms.
- the point in time at which an actuation event is detected and, for example, a parameter value is changed, is here typically the point in time at which the touch is released.
- an actuation event can also be recorded when the touch begins, in which case each touch already triggers a tap event.
- Typical applications for tapping are, for example, switching a function on and off, changing parameter values incrementally or directly selecting a parameter value by tapping a button.
- the user can also hold the touch at a specific position or in a specific surface area for a longer time interval At than a threshold value ti: At>.
- the threshold value ti can be, for example, 400 ms or 800 ms.
- Such an operation can be referred to as “hold”, “long press” or “long push”.
- a corresponding hold event can be triggered as soon as the held time interval At exceeds the threshold value ti or when the contact is released.
- Further conditions can be defined that the touch must be released at a certain position or in a certain area in order to trigger a hold event; In this case, the user can prevent the triggering by moving the actuating object to another area, for example to another button element.
- a “multiple hold” can be carried out in that the touch of a first surface area lasts longer than a threshold value ti and then changes over to a second surface area, which is then also touched for longer than the threshold value ti.
- several pushbutton elements can be actuated without having to lift the actuating object.
- a first button element is actuated with a “hold” gesture and then the user with the actuation object slides on to another button element without releasing the touch.
- an actuation is recorded for a time interval At longer than a threshold value to and a renewed actuation is recorded for each multiple of the threshold value to.
- the user can trigger a multiple actuation by considering the actuation to be a corresponding multiple of the threshold value to.
- a “wiping” can be detected as an actuation, for example when the actuation object stays in a surface area for a time interval At shorter than a threshold value to and then actuates an adjacent surface area. The actuation can then be detected, for example, for the adjacent surface area when the touch is released, with particular consideration being given to whether the user is the adjacent
- a “swipe” can be detected as an actuation, the position of the contact moving from a first to a second surface area and, in the process, in particular further surface areas being crossed.
- the speed at which the position changes is also taken into account and, for example, a parameter value can be changed more quickly than when wiping.
- a “swipe” can in particular be detected when the speed of the swiping gesture exceeds a threshold value.
- the fan slider is defined as a contiguous, active slider area 149 which extends over the entire length of the line 112 and the adjacent symbols 112a, 112b.
- the positions of touches and actuations can be detected within the area 149 of this active slider area 149. If the actuation object moves along the longitudinal extent of the fan slider 112, the position of the contact, in particular during a swiping gesture, is continuously detected and the set level of the fan follows this position. For example, a lowest level is assigned to the left area of the fan slider 112 or the left fan symbol 112a, while a highest level is assigned to the right area of the fan slider 112 or the right fan symbol 112b. In between spread over the
- a level is set when the operating object reaches a position assigned to this level.
- the step is not set until the touch is released, the step then being set which is assigned to the position when the touch is released.
- Surface areas 142a to 142i are formed. These are operated by tapping, so that the Users set the fan speed directly by selecting a touch-sensitive one
- the two outermost left 142a, 142b and right 142h, 142i touch-sensitive surface areas are also combined to form enlarged actuation areas 141a, 141b.
- enlarged actuation areas 141a, 141b By touching one of these enlarged actuation areas 141a, 141b, the user can increase or decrease the level of the fan incrementally.
- the level By continuously holding in one of the enlarged actuation areas 141a, 141b, the level is gradually increased or decreased, depending on the time interval during which the contact is kept.
- the enlargement of the actuation areas 141a, 141b restricts the possibilities for the direct selection of a level of the fan insofar as the lowest and highest levels cannot be selected directly. Instead, these steps are only achieved in that, starting from the next adjacent step, the corresponding enlarged actuation area 141a, 141b is tapped again or maintained permanently.
- FIGS. 4A and 4B are not to be understood as static configurations of the detection unit 2 in the exemplary embodiment. Rather, it switches
- the button elements 108 to 111 which are arranged adjacent to slider elements 112, 113, 140, are blocked for detecting an actuation after a swiping gesture in the area of one of the slider elements 112, 113, 114 was recorded. This prevents the user from accidentally actuating one of the pushbutton elements 108 to 111 if he continues a movement of the actuating object beyond the area of a slider element 112, 113, 114 with a swiping gesture.
- Touch-sensitive surfaces or switching elements are carried out for a specific blocking time interval.
- This blocking time interval begins in particular at the point in time at which the contact with the slider element 112, 113, 114 is ended, and it can in particular be determined dynamically, for example on the basis of the speed of the swiping gesture and / or a driving speed of the vehicle 1.
- a distance from a slider element 112, 113, 114 is defined, within which no actuation is detected in the blocking time interval. This distance can also be determined dynamically, for example on the basis of the speed of the swiping gesture, a longitudinal extent of the slider element 112, 113, 114 and / or on the basis of the driving speed of the vehicle 1. In particular, a
- Surface area are defined which continues a longitudinal extension of the slider element 112, 113, 114; for example, an area above or below a horizontally running slider element 112, 113, 114 is not blocked, while laterally adjoining surface areas are blocked during the blocking time interval.
- the adjacent pushbutton elements 108 to 111 are only blocked when it has been detected that a swipe gesture has been carried out at least as far as a lateral end of the slider element 112, 113, 114 or beyond.
- the blocking of certain surface areas of the detection unit 2 can be triggered by events other than a wiping gesture, for example by any actuation in a certain surface area.
- the user first presses a first key, then changes his selection and slides to another key.
- the actuation is only detected when the user releases the touch. Only then is the blocking time interval triggered.
- the user can slide from a first to a second key without releasing the touch and press the second key when lifting his finger. Only then does the blocking time interval begin and no other key can be pressed.
- audible feedback is generated when a
- Input gesture or a gesture type is recognized.
- the acoustic feedback is generated when a control signal is generated on the basis of a recorded input. The user can thereby recognize whether his entry has been accepted.
- the acoustic feedback can alternatively or additionally also be generated when the parameter value is changed. It is generated in a manner known per se, with different responses being able to be output, for example about a recognized gesture type, a set one

- the button element 104 is used as a “Togg / e” switch. That is, there is a fixed sequence of different settings and each time the button element 104 is actuated, the following setting is set in the sequence. When the last setting is reached, there is a jump to the first setting in the sequence, in particular in the manner of a periodic boundary condition. For more
