Abstract

Offenbart ist eine Eingabevorrichtung (EV) für ein elektrisches Gerät umfassend ein Feld (FMS) mit einer Mehrzahl von Schaltelementen (S1, S2), und eine Auslöseeinrichtung (ALE), die über dem Feld mit Schaltelementen bewegbar ist, und dafür ausgelegt ist, bei Anordnung über einem bestimmten Schaltelement einen Schaltvorgang auszulösen. Insbesondere durch Ausführung der Auslöseeinrichtung (ALE) derart, dass sie beim Überstreichen eines Schaltelemente ein für einen Benutzer wahrnehmbares, vorteilhaftes haptisches Signal ausgibt, ist es möglich, die Eingabevorrichtung bzw. das Feld (FMS) in geringen Dimensionen auszubilden, wobei die Auslöseeinrichtung quasi als eine Linse für einen Benutzer dient, um kleindimensionierte Schaltelemente betätigen zu können.

Disclosed is an input device (EV) for an electrical device comprising a field (FMS) with a plurality of switching elements (S1, S2), and a triggering device (ALE), which is movable over the field with switching elements, and designed for Arrangement on a particular switching element trigger a switching operation. In particular, by executing the triggering device (ALE) in such a way that when passing over a switching element it outputs a user-perceivable, advantageous haptic signal, it is possible to design the input device or the field (FMS) in small dimensions, wherein the triggering device is more or less as a lens for a user is used to operate small-sized switching elements can.
