Abstract

Dispositif de commande (1) d’une surface tactile capacitive (14) apte à détecter la position d’au moins un doigt d’un utilisateur, caractérisé en ce qu’il comporte un bouton de commande (2), en matériau conducteur, s’emboitant dans l’axe de la roue crantée (4), en matériau conducteur, cet ensemble pouvant rentrer en rotation par rapport au socle (13) et au carter (3) électriquement isolant. Le doigt (10), en matériau conducteur, placé au regard de la roue crantée est pourvu de deux lames de contact (7, 9) en matériau à effet ressort, l’ensemble pouvant osciller autour de l’axe (8), de façon à délivrer une série d’impulsions à l’un deux plots (5, 12) en fonction du sens et du déplacement angulaire du bouton (2). La partie basse des plots (5, 12) en contact avec la surface tactile transmettent ces impulsions à ladite surface.Control device (1) for a capacitive touch surface (14) capable of detecting the position of at least one finger of a user, characterized in that it comprises a control button (2), made of conductive material, fitting in the axis of the toothed wheel (4), made of conductive material, this assembly being able to rotate relative to the base (13) and to the electrically insulating casing (3). The finger (10), made of conductive material, placed facing the toothed wheel is provided with two contact blades (7, 9) made of spring-effect material, the assembly being able to oscillate around the axis (8), so as to deliver a series of pulses to one of two pads (5, 12) depending on the direction and the angular displacement of the button (2). The lower part of the pads (5, 12) in contact with the tactile surface transmit these pulses to said surface.

Description

Dispositif de commande pour interface tactile capacitiveControl device for capacitive touch interface

L’invention concerne les interfaces de commande utilisant une interface tactile capacitive avec laquelle un utilisateur peut interagir pour commander un dispositif ou un appareil électronique. L’invention trouve son application notamment, mais pas exclusivement, dans le domaine audio, médical, l’aviation et l’automobile.The invention relates to control interfaces using a capacitive touch interface with which a user can interact to control an electronic device or appliance. The invention finds its application notably, but not exclusively, in the audio, medical, aviation and automobile fields.

Classiquement, il est fréquent pour des raisons d’ergonomie, de compléter l’interface tactile par un ou plusieurs encodeurs incrémentaux. Ces encodeurs sont généralement placés à proximité d’un écran ou au-dessus d’un écran ce qui nécessite un support mécanique et une connexion physique de l’encodeur à un circuit électronique.Conventionally, it is common for ergonomic reasons to complete the touch interface with one or more incremental encoders. These encoders are generally placed near a screen or above a screen, which requires mechanical support and a physical connection of the encoder to an electronic circuit.

La présente invention propose de s’affranchir de ces contraintes en transformant la rotation d’un bouton de commande en impulsions transmises directement à l’écran ou surface tactile sur laquelle il est fixé au moyen d’un adhésif double face ou d’une colle polymère de type époxy par exemple. Ce dispositif simule l’appui d’un utilisateur sur deux zones distinctes ce qui permet, par exemple, de se déplacer dans une liste ou d’incrémenter décrémenter une variable suivant le sens de rotation du dit bouton, un écran tactile peut ainsi être transformé en une interface ergonomique particulièrement adaptée aux systèmes audio ou médicaux. Ce dispositif a aussi pour avantage de réduire les couts de développement aussi bien mécanique, électronique que logiciel des interfaces de commande.The present invention proposes to overcome these constraints by transforming the rotation of a control button into pulses transmitted directly to the screen or touch surface on which it is fixed by means of a double-sided adhesive or glue. epoxy type polymer for example. This device simulates the pressing of a user on two distinct zones which allows, for example, to move in a list or to increment or decrement a variable according to the direction of rotation of said button, a touch screen can thus be transformed into an ergonomic interface particularly suitable for audio or medical systems. This device also has the advantage of reducing the development costs of the mechanical, electronic and software control interfaces.
