Abstract

L'invention concerne une unité de commande, constituée de champs d'entrée qui présentent une caractéristique cognitive, avec laquelle il est possible de commander plusieurs appareils sans qu'il soit nécessaire de la regarder. Grâce à des moyens optiques appropriés, les éléments fonctionnels de l'unité de commande sont représentés de façon visuelle et/ou auditive par une unité d'entrée. Ainsi il est possible de commander avec l'unité de commande un nombre quelconque d'appareils et de fonctions. En combinant un dispositif de reconnaissance vocale avec cette unité de commande, il est possible de sélectionner, par entrée d'une instruction vocale, directement un appareil et, éventuellement, une fonction de cet appareil. L'unité de commande convient à l'exécution d'entrées plus approfondies.
