Definitions

  • the invention relates to an operating device for controlling an infotainment system, having a cylindrical operating module with a lateral surface that is equipped with touch-sensitive sensors, the operating module having an integrated control and evaluation unit or a communication interface to an external control and evaluation unit. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for operating an infotainment system.
  • Such operating devices are versatile, especially in vehicles.
  • Other possible uses are, for example, smart home systems or modern parlor games.
  • the publication DE 10 2017 200 992 A1 describes such an operating device.
  • the control device disclosed there has a cylindrical control module, which is mounted such that it can rotate about an axis of rotation and has a touch-sensitive control panel on its lateral surface.
  • the touch-sensitive operating device described there is set up to determine the number of fingers touched by the operator and to carry out an action based on this, for example to call up a specific menu or submenu on a display.
  • the selection in the respective submenu is then made by rotating the operating module or rotating a ring surrounding the operating module. Navigating the infotainment system menu using the number of fingers is not intuitive because the user first has to determine the number of fingers for the respective function assigned.
  • the operating device described there is subject to relatively high wear and tear with each operation due to the rotatable operating module. As soon as the rotating mechanism no longer works, the entire operating module usually has to be replaced because repairing it is not economical.
  • Touch screens are also known in which a touch screen serves as an operating module. Such touchscreens are rather unsuitable as operating modules, especially in vehicles. This is due to the fact that the touchscreen should be both in the driver's forward-facing field of vision and reachable with the hand in a normal sitting position. These two requirements often cannot be reconciled. In addition, touch screens are often soiled by operation, so that the reproduction on the display is impaired.
  • the invention proposes that the cylindrical operating module is fixed immovably in the circumferential direction, has axial mobility of at most 1 mm, preferably at most 0.5 mm, and an active haptic feedback transmitter is arranged on the operating module.
  • the operator moves one or more fingers in the circumferential direction over the lateral surface of the operating module that is fixed in the circumferential direction.
  • the direction of movement is detected by the touch-sensitive sensor system and the detected movement data is transmitted to the control and evaluation unit.
  • An action assigned to the detected movement is then carried out by means of the control and evaluation unit.
  • the action can be adjusting the volume of an audio system, selecting a radio station, or tuning in to a relate to the navigation destination.
  • a compressive or tensile load in the axial direction for example, a menu item can be selected or confirmed, and the hierarchy of the menu can be navigated up and down.
  • an active haptic feedback transmitter is arranged on the lateral surface.
  • the active haptic feedback transmitter is controlled on the basis of the detected movement of the fingers on the lateral surface, with the feedback simulating a rotary movement of the operating module.
  • This simulation of the mobility of the operating module does not change the user's perception of operation compared to a conventional, familiar turntable and operation remains intuitive without the operating module being subject to mechanical wear and tear as a result of a rotary movement.
  • control and evaluation unit determines the path speed of the fingers on the lateral surface of the operating module using the movement data.
  • the speed of the navigation in the infotainment system can also be adjusted based on the speed of the fingers on the lateral surface. For example, if the speed is high or if a threshold value is exceeded, the end of the respective (sub)menu can be accessed directly.
  • the operating module which is immobile in the circumferential direction, can be designed to be mechanically very stable, since it can only be minimally deflected in the axial direction. This mobility is necessary in order to determine a tensile and/or compressive load in the axial direction.
  • a preferred embodiment of the invention provides that a further sensor system is arranged on the cylindrical operating module, which is set up to detect the axial deflection of the operating module.
  • a further sensor system is arranged on the cylindrical operating module, which is set up to detect the axial deflection of the operating module.
  • About the exertion of a compressive and / or tensile force in the axial direction of the cylindrical control module can be in the menu of the infotainment system
  • Sub-items can be selected or navigated up in the menu hierarchy.
  • Force sensors are particularly suitable as sensors for detecting the axial deflection.
  • the touch-sensitive sensor system of the lateral surface is designed as a capacitive touch foil.
  • a touch foil is particularly suitable for almost completely covering the tubular outer surface of the operating module.
  • the cover surface of the cylindrical operating module is insensitive to touch. Touch-insensitive is to be understood here in such a way that a touch that does not lead to any axial deflection is not detected.
  • a further embodiment of the invention provides that the touch-sensitive sensor system has proximity sensors.
  • the proximity sensors are set up to detect the user's hand approaching.
  • a lighting element assigned to the operating module can be switched on, for example.
  • a further application example is that the operating module is moved out axially from a standby position into an operating position when approached. This means that the operating module is sunk into the center console of a vehicle when it is in a standby position and only moves out into an operating position when a hand approaches. In the standby position, the operating module is almost completely protected against accidental damage.
  • the operating module can be in the wall in the standby position, for example. In addition to the improved protection against damage, this function also has aesthetic advantages if the operating module is flush with the surrounding surface, e.g. the wall in smart home applications, in the standby position.
  • a display unit is arranged on the cover surface of the operating module.
  • the Display unit can be designed as a display or LED display, for example.
  • Such an integrated display unit can supplement an external visual display unit or even replace it, depending on the application.
