Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Bedienvorrichtung nach dem Hauptpatent.The invention relates to an operating device according to the main patent.

Beim Hauptpatent geht es um eine Bedienvorrichtung in Kraftfahrzeugen zur Aus­ wahl eines Teilmenüs aus einem Menü mittels ein es Bildschirms mit im wesentli­ chen vertikaler Anzeigefläche, auf der den Teilmenüs zugeordnete Symbole ange­ zeigt sind und bei der ein im wesentlichen flaches Bedienfeld dem Bildschirm zu­ geordnet ist. Ferner sind in dem Bedienfeld Schaltkontakte angeordnet, die in ihrer Lage den Symbolen auf dem Bildschirm entsprechen und die bei Betätigen das Teilmenü auswählen. Weitere Möglichkeiten bestehen darin, das Bedienfeld in rechteckige Segmente einzuteilen, die jeweils einen Schaltkontakt aufnehmen, ferner darin, daß die Segmente hervortretende Segmentbegrenzungen aufweisen und/oder daß das Bedienfeld im Griffbereich des Fahrzeugbenutzers und räumlich vom Bildschirm getrennt angeordnet ist.The main patent is about an operating device in motor vehicles Selection of a sub-menu from a menu using a screen with essentially Chen vertical display area on which symbols assigned to the submenus are displayed shows and in which a substantially flat control panel to the screen is ordered. Furthermore, switch contacts are arranged in the control panel Position correspond to the symbols on the screen and which when pressed the Select submenu. Other options are to use the control panel in classify rectangular segments, each of which receives a switch contact, further in that the segments have protruding segment boundaries and / or that the control panel in the grip area of the vehicle user and spatially is separated from the screen.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, die Auswahl der Teilmenüs noch weiter zu unterstützen.The object of the present invention is to further select the submenus to support.

Dies wird erreicht, indem dem Bedienfeld eine Wiedergabeeinrichtung zugeordnet ist, die einen aufliegenden Gegenstand auf dem Bildschirm abbildet. Dadurch wird es möglich, die räumliche Trennung zwischen Bildschirm und Bedienfeld den je­ weiligen Bedürfnissen hinsichtlich Ergonomie, Einbaugegebenheiten und De­ sign/Styling anzupassen. Der Gegenstand, i.d.R. die auf dem Bedienfeld auflie­ gende Hand des Benutzers wird in den Bildschirm eingespiegelt. Der Benutzer erkennt damit sofort, an welcher Stelle im Bedienfeld sich seine Finger befinden und kann durch Betätigen des jeweiligen Schaltkontaktes das gewünschte Teilme­ nü oder auch das Menü selbst auswählen. Es bedarf hierzu keinerlei Hinwendung auf das Bedienfeld, da Bedienfeld, Bildschirm und Gegenstand (Hand) überlagert werden.This is achieved by assigning a display device to the control panel that shows an object lying on the screen. This will it is possible to separate the spatial separation between screen and control panel certain needs with regard to ergonomics, installation conditions and De adapt sign / styling. The object, usually on the control panel The user's hand is reflected in the screen. The user immediately recognizes where in the control panel his fingers are and can operate the desired part by pressing the respective switch contact  nü or select the menu yourself. There is no need to turn to this on the control panel, since control panel, screen and object (hand) overlap will.

Die Ausgestaltung der Erfindung kann auf verschiedene Weise erfolgen. So kann das Bedienfeld optisch auf dem Bildschirm abgebildet sein. Eine einfache Möglich­ keit hierzu besteht darin, das Bedienfeld mit Hilfe von Umlenkspiegeln im Bild­ schirm einzuspiegeln. Auch ist es möglich, die optische Abbildung mit Hilfe einer Kamera vorzunehmen, die auf das Bedienfeld ausgerichtet ist und auch den Ge­ genstand auf dem Bedienfeld erfaßt. Die Kamera kann an einer geeigneten Stelle, beispielsweise auch unterhalb des Bedienfelds angeordnet sein. Durch das dann zweckmäßigerweise lichtdurchlässige Bedienfeld hindurch wird der Gegenstand aufgenommen.The embodiment of the invention can be done in different ways. So can the control panel is visually displayed on the screen. An easy way The ability to do this is to use control mirrors in the image mirror screen. It is also possible to use an optical image Make camera that is aligned to the control panel and also the Ge object is recorded on the control panel. The camera can be placed in a suitable location, for example, can also be arranged below the control panel. Then through that the object is expediently translucent control panel added.

Zu den optischen Verfahren im weitesten Sinne sind auch Einrichtungen zu rech­ nen, bei denen der Gegenstand aufgrund der durch ihn ausgelösten bzw. absor­ bierten Wärmestrahlung detektiert wird. Diese aktiven bzw. passiven Verfahren bestehen einerseits wie bei bekannten Näherungsschaltern darin, die vom Gegen­ stand selbst hervorgerufene Wärmestrahlung aufzunehmen und alternativ darin die Abschirmung einer auf die Bedienfläche ausgerichteten Wärmestrahlung durch den Gegenstand zu erkennen.In the broadest sense, facilities are also to be considered for the optical processes nen, in which the object due to the triggered or absorbed by it heat radiation is detected. These active or passive procedures consist on the one hand, as in known proximity switches, that of the opposite stood to absorb heat radiation itself and alternatively in it the shielding of a heat radiation aligned on the control surface to recognize the object.

Beide Möglichkeiten sind Ausführungsformen einer Vielzahl von Möglichkeiten, die Lage eines Gegenstands auf der Bedienfläche mit Hilfe eines elektrischen Effektes zu erkennen. Während im Falle der Wärmestrahlung der elektrische Effekt darin besteht, die Wärmestrahlung in eine geeignete elektrische Größe umzusetzen, kann auch die durch den Gegenstand hervorgerufene Widerstandsänderung oder aber der kapazitive oder galvanische Effekt ausgewertet werden, der durch den Gegenstand auf dem Bedienfeld hervorgerufen wird.Both options are embodiments of a variety of options Position of an object on the control surface using an electrical effect to recognize. While in the case of heat radiation the electrical effect in it consists of converting the heat radiation into a suitable electrical quantity, can also be the change in resistance caused by the object or but the capacitive or galvanic effect can be evaluated by the Object is caused on the control panel.

In jeder der angesprochenen und im Rahmen der Erfindung realisierten Möglichkei­ ten geht es darum, die Lage des Gegenstands auf der Bedienfläche zu erkennen und den Gegenstand auf dem Bildschirm einzublenden. Dies soll das Betätigen des Schaltkontakts erleichtern und Fehlbetätigungen verhindern.In each of the possibilities addressed and realized within the scope of the invention ten is to recognize the position of the object on the control surface and display the item on the screen. This is the actuation of the switching contact and prevent incorrect operation.

Die Erfindung ist anhand eines in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbei­ spiels weiter erläutert.The invention is based on an exemplary embodiment shown in the drawing game explained further.

Die Fig. 1 und 2 zeigen schematisch das Zusammenspiel zwischen einem Bild­ schirm, einer Bedienfläche und einer Wiedergabeeinrichtung, mit der die Bedien­ fläche auf dem Bildschirm abgebildet wird. Hierzu ist der Bildschirm 1 symbolisch dargestellt. Er befindet sich an einer geeigneten Stelle im Blickfeld des Fahrzeug­ benutzers. Ein Bedienfeld 2 sitzt beispielsweise auf einen nicht dargestellten Mit­ telkonsole des Fahrzeugs und besitzt eine Vielzahl von Schaltkontakten (nicht dar­ gestellt), die durch Betätigen einer Schaltfläche 3 auslösbar ist. Die Schaltflächen sind in Zeilen 4 eingeteilt und besitzen eine Spaltenstruktur. Jede der Zeilen 4 ist auf dem Bildschirm 1 einer Zeile 5 zugeordnet. Die Zeilen 5 können den Bildschirm wie dargestellt vollständig oder aber im Umfang einer definierten Auswahlfläche ausfüllen. In jedem Fall wird durch Betätigen einer Schaltfläche 3 ein entsprechen­ des auf dem Bildschirm 1 wiedergegebenes Menü/Teilmenü bzw. ein Menüpunkt ausgewählt. Dies ist durch die Teilmenüs Audio, Klimaanlage, Navigation. Bord­ monitor bzw. Telefon auf dem Bildschirm symbolisch dargestellt. Figs. 1 and 2 show schematically the interaction between an image screen, a control surface and a reproducing device with which the operating surface is imaged on the screen. For this purpose, the screen 1 is shown symbolically. It is located at a suitable point in the vehicle user's field of vision. A control panel 2 sits, for example, on a not shown console of the vehicle and has a plurality of switch contacts (not shown), which can be triggered by pressing a button 3 . The buttons are divided into rows 4 and have a column structure. Each of the lines 4 is assigned to a line 5 on the screen 1 . Lines 5 can fill the screen as shown completely or in the scope of a defined selection area. In any case, by pressing a button 3, a corresponding menu / submenu shown on the screen 1 or a menu item is selected. This is through the submenus audio, air conditioning, navigation. On-board monitor or telephone symbolically displayed on the screen.

Zur Erleichterung der Zuordnung zwischen der jeweiligen Schaltfläche 3 und dem zugeordneten Element auf dem Bildschirm 1 dient eine Wiedergabeeinrichtung, hier dargestellt als Kamera 6 mit nachgeschalteten Rechner 7. Mit der Kamera 6 wird die Bedienfläche 2 abgebildet. Befindet sich auf der Bedienfläche wie darge­ stellt eine Hand 8, so wird diese ebenfalls mit der Kamera 6 aufgenommen und über den Rechner 7 auf dem Bildschirm 1 dargestellt. Der Fahrzeugbenutzer er­ kennt damit, an welcher Stelle des Bedienfeldes sich seine Finger befinden und kann den Schaltbefehl mit optischer Unterstützung auswählen. Hierzu dienen ihm einerseits die auf dem Bildschirm 1 wiedergegebenen Menüs/Untermenüs bzw. Menüpunkte sowie die über Kamera 6 und Rechner 7 im Bildschirm 1 eingespielte Hand. Er erkennt hier beispielsweise, daß sich sein Zeigefinger auf einer Schaltflä­ che befindet, die einerseits dem vorausgewählten Teilmenü Navigation (dunkler dargestellt) zugeordnet ist und dort dem Menüpunkt Zieleingabe. Ferner sind be­ reits durch vorausgegangenes Betätigen eines Feldes 3′ der zweiten Zeile des Bedienfeldes 3 aus den zunächst in der zweiten Zeile des Bildschirms 1 nebenein­ ander dargestellten Ländersymbolen das des gewünschten Ziellandes (D) ausge­ wählt und in der zweiten Zeile des Bildschirms 1 verblieben.A display device serves to facilitate the assignment between the respective button 3 and the assigned element on the screen 1 , shown here as a camera 6 with a downstream computer 7 . The control surface 2 is imaged with the camera 6 . Is located on the operating surface as Darge provides a hand 8, this is also taken with the camera 6 and shown via the computer 7 on the screen. 1 The vehicle user thus knows at which point on the control panel his fingers are and can select the switching command with optical support. For this purpose it serve on the one hand, the reproduced on the screen 1 menus / sub-menus and menu items as well as the camera on the screen 6 and computer 7 1 rehearsed hand. He recognizes here, for example, that his index finger is on a button which is assigned to the preselected navigation submenu (shown darker) and the menu item destination entry. Furthermore, by pressing a field 3 'of the second line of the control panel 3 , the country symbols of the desired target country (D) initially shown in the second line of the screen 1 next to one another are selected and remain in the second line of the screen 1 .

Zur Eingabe einer gewünschten Ziel-Stadt wird beispielsweise kurze Zeit nach dem Aufscheinen des Ländersymbols (hier D) für das Zielland das in Fig. 2 darge­ stellte Bild auf dem Bildschirm dargestellt. In den Zeilen 2 bis 5 des Bildschirms erscheinen die Buchstaben des Alphabets. Die Buchstabenfolge (hier MÜNCH) der Zielstadt München werden eingegeben, indem Schaltkontakte der Bedienfläche 3 an den Stellen gedrückt werden, denen diese Buchstaben zugeordnet sind. Hierfür erfolgt optisch eine Unterstützung, da der Fahrzeugbenutzer am Bildschirm 1 die Lage seinen Hand auf der Bedienfläche 3 dargestellt erhält. Nach Bestätigen des Eingabevorgangs durch Betätigen eines Schaltkontakts in der Bedienfläche rechts oben, unterstützt durch den Schriftzug "eingetragen" auf dem Bildschirm, wird die gewünschte Zielstraße entsprechend ausgewählt.To enter a desired destination city, for example a short time after the appearance of the country symbol (here D) for the destination country, the image shown in FIG. 2 is shown on the screen. The letters of the alphabet appear in lines 2 to 5 of the screen. The letter sequence (here MÜNCH) of the destination city of Munich is entered by pressing switch contacts on the control surface 3 at the positions to which these letters are assigned. This is optically supported since the vehicle user is shown the position of his hand on the control surface 3 on the screen 1 . After confirming the input process by pressing a switch contact in the top right of the control panel, supported by the lettering "registered" on the screen, the desired destination street is selected accordingly.

Der Benutzer kann nun die Zielführung auslösen, indem er in Zeile 5 der Bedien­ fläche etwa an der Stelle, die der mit "Zielführung" gekennzeichneten Stelle des Bildschirms 1 entspricht, einen (nicht dargestellten) Schaltkontakt betätigt. Er kann aber auch durch Betätigen eines Schaltkontakts an der Stelle des Bedienfelds 3, die der des Symbols D im Bildschirm 1 entspricht, ein anderes Zielland auswählen.The user can now trigger the route guidance by actuating a switch contact (not shown) in line 5 of the operating area approximately at the point which corresponds to the point on the screen 1 marked "route guidance". However, he can also select a different country of destination by actuating a switch contact on the control panel 3 , which corresponds to that of the symbol D on the screen 1 .

In der zweiten Zeile des Bildschirms erscheinen dann wieder die möglichen Zielländer-Symbole, die in der Bedienfläche 3 und damit virtuell auf dem Bildschirm 1 auswählbar sind. Es ist auch möglich, die Navigation zu verlassen und durch Betä­ tigen eines Schaltkontakts der Bedienfläche an der durch ein anderes Menü-Symbol gekennzeichnete Stelle beispielsweise die Klangeinstellung des Radios zu verändern. Der gesamte Bedien- und Eingabevorgang läßt sich damit aufgrund der optischen Unterstützung in kürzester Zeit erfolgreich durchführen.The possible destination country symbols then appear in the second line of the screen, which can be selected on the control surface 3 and thus virtually on the screen 1 . It is also possible to leave the navigation and, for example, to change the sound setting of the radio by actuating a switch contact on the control surface at the point indicated by another menu symbol. The entire operating and input process can thus be carried out successfully in a very short time due to the optical support.

Anstelle mit einer Kamera kann die dargestellte Hand auch ein reines rechnerer­ zeugtes Bild sein. Die Hand kann über Bildverarbeitung ausgefiltert (also vom Hin­ tergrund getrennt) werden.Instead of using a camera, the hand shown can also be a pure computer be a witness. The hand can be filtered out via image processing (i.e. from the back separated).
