Definitions
- the invention is directed to an input device for performing switching, setting and other input and selection operations by a user.
- Such input devices are particularly in the form of switches, sliders and touch screens in electrical appliances and other controls, e.g. provided in the vehicle area.
- buttons are displayed on a computer screen and can be operated by an operator by tapping.
- the shape as well as the position of the buttons as well as their operating functions are software programmable, whereby switching or selection operations can be performed synthetically generated noises can be identified to the user.
- the invention has for its object to provide solutions that make it possible with great design freedom advantageous for a user, in particular intuitively easy to use input interface.
- buttons and switches according to the invention rotary elements no longer have to be cumbersome wired, and supplied with energy and often from an outdoor area, e.g. a machine aperture, inwardly, e.g. an electronic board. On breakthroughs which can often be made hardly waterproof (etc.) can be dispensed with application of the inventive concept.
- the concept according to the invention makes it possible to use keys and other operating elements in a real physical form but in a similar way as touch systems to design and operate flexibly. Without their disadvantages, the desire for a haptic actuation experience is taken into account in a particularly advantageous manner.
- At least one pushbutton or switch or other operating element externally mounted on a control surface for a user accessible.
- the electronics from inside the device to be operated bind this button into a detection zone.
- states are changed in the area of the detection zone in such a way that this can be determined as a switching operation, in particular a key operation.
- a suitable evaluation circuit can then perform functions provided.
- the invention provides alternatives for all known, touchable and wired controls, e.g. Buttons, switches, rocker switches, sliding switches and knobs, rotary switches or knobs, rotary wheels, knobs, steering wheels, glide pads, computer mice, etc.
- the keys are illuminable via the same (or other) source (s), for example to indicate operating conditions (on - off, position, etc.).
- the controls are able to perform at least one sensory function, such as measuring the operating force or holding force, for example, emanates from an operator.
- electrical (or electromagnetic) fields which, starting from field emitters (field points), perform an electrical interaction with one another or one after the other.
- a mounted within such fields first inventive control element has after its attachment a, usually differing spatial distance to each of these field points whose point charges of electric fields recorded, passed on, emitted or collected.
- Figure 1 is a schematic representation to illustrate the construction of a system according to the invention for generating switching commands using non-wired, capacitive detected controls;
- Figure 2 is a schematic diagram illustrating the construction of a system according to the invention in which, depending on the rotational position of a knob different field electrical events are coupled into a user, so that the position of the knob based on the injected into the user electrical events, or on the basis of properties of an inclusive the electrical system formed by the user can be determined;
- FIG. 3 is another schematic diagram illustrating the construction of a switching command generation system of the present invention using non-cabled, capacitive sensing controls in which the user provides a bridge between a field source and an extraction point, the user's electrical transmission characteristics being selective over that actuated control element can be changed so that the electrical events applied to the user provide information about the input operations performed in conjunction with the control element;
- FIG. 4 shows another schematic illustration to illustrate the structure of a system according to the invention similar to FIG. 3 in which optical effects are generated in the region of the operating element by relating the electrical energy required for this purpose to the electrical events applied to the user and spent by this user in the region of the operating element becomes;
- Figure 5 is another schematic diagram illustrating the construction of a system according to the invention similar to Figures 3 and 4 in which a haptic experience is generated as part of the operation of the control element;
- Figure 6 is a schematic diagram illustrating the structure of a system according to the invention in which position information can be obtained in the two-dimensional area via the operating element;
- FIG. 7 shows a schematic representation for illustrating the construction of a system according to the invention in which position information in the one-dimensional area can be obtained via the operating element;
- FIG. 1 shows a schematic representation for illustrating the structure of a system according to the invention for generating switching commands using non-wired, capacitively detected operating elements. Due to differing distance-related voltage levels or different frequencies / phases, such key may be assigned an electrical value corresponding to its mounting position. This so-called “position value” can be transmitted to an evaluation system during tactile actuation of the operating element, this being done wirelessly via the properties of the electrical (or electromagnetic) alternating field. Switch functions that can directly correspond to those of a wired button.
- a function or status value can also be transmitted.
- the position of the rotary switch can be determined from the different signal levels and / or phase curves.
- FIG 3 is another schematic diagram illustrating the construction of a switch command generation system of the present invention using non-cabled, capacitive sensing controls in which the user provides a bridge between a field source and an extraction point, the user's electrical transmission characteristics being that of the latter selectively operated control element can be changed, so that the voltage applied to the user electrical events provide information about the processed in interaction with the control input operations. It is also possible to charge the controls eg against ground via an electric field and to provide this energy during an operation or to use for lighting purposes (also switchable).
- phenomena of photonics can be used for the invention, for example such that when human limbs approach an operating element, a gas accommodated therein begins to glow and this luminous effect triggers triggering of an electronic processing circuit.
- This effect is also evident, for example, with an AC electrical tester equipped with a resistor and a glow tube for testing mains voltage.
- the difference with the invention is that it uses a higher frequency and thus also small approaching capacitances and a distance to a control element can already provide optical triggering effects.
- the lighting effect can also be frequency-dependent.
- a first switch-like element On a control panel of a device e.g. made of plastic (or other insulating material) is externally applied at one point a first switch-like element.
- This houses in its interior elements that can simulate a haptic feedback (pressure points, "crackpot”, etc.)
- the control element contains a coupling surface for alternating electric fields, which come from the inside of the device to be operated and from several points, their position to each other
- the coupling surface of the first control element can accommodate these fields but not (yet) pass it on.
- the forwarding is done by a second coupling surface when a person touches this control element to initiate a switching operation at will (FIG)
- the fields are then attenuated differently, which depends on their distance and their frequency to the control element according to the invention.This way, the control element also "learns" its position.
- this alternating field charge can be rectified and stored in an energy store (capacitor, gold cup, rechargeable battery, etc.) in order to be able to supply electronics contained in the operating element.
- this electronics may consist of a modulator which allows data to be modulated in the alternating voltage circuit closed by the operator when the operating element is actuated (transponder principle).
- these data may originate from the operating element itself, in order, e.g. to convey an identification number or an operating state or originate from a sensor associated with the operating element, which can determine supplementary values for the operating state, e.g. Operating force or holding force of the operator.
- FIG. 1 shows a first possible circuit design. At the vertices of a control panel four electrodes are applied in the interior of high impedance oscillators with AC signals of different frequency or phase. These frequencies are emitted as electrical alternating fields (so-called point charges) to the environment.
- a control element may be located at an identifiable position, which is mounted on the outside of the control panel, so that only a wireless capacitive charge coupling can take place If the grounding capacitance of the operating element were earthed, each of the emitter points emitted signals would be loaded capacitively, the magnitude of the load also depending on the distance to the respective emitter point of series resistors (Rl to R4), a change in the level can be measured, for example with the aid of a differential amplifier or a "differential ADC". This effect also occurs when, instead of grounding, a human activates this switch, which has some ground capacitance of a few hundred picofarads.
- tactile and practical experience values are a special feature of the invention. They are in the execution and in the arrangement of materials to each other. For example, in the control element cavities may be that allow gases to escape or divert fluids when actuated. Also, pressure points, similar to omega springs in microswitches, snap over (“crackpot”) to pass this mechanical feeling to the finger nerves of the operator.
- a microcontroller may be provided at its outputs e.g. provide four phase shifted signals (Figure 6).
- the phase shift of the emitter electrodes corresponds to the angle of intersection of the diagonal (e.g., 90 ° for a square control surface), thereby the current branching in each surface element is relatively constant.
- FIG. 2 A microcontroller may be provided at its outputs e.g. provide four phase shifted signals ( Figure 6).
- the phase shift of the emitter electrodes corresponds to the angle of intersection of the diagonal (e.g., 90 ° for a square control surface), thereby the current branching in each surface element is relatively constant.
- this alternating voltage is fed to field emitters. It is possible to increase the level by means of series resonant circuits.
- An applied capacitive load is generated, for example, by a human finger touching a control element according to the invention, which can be at different distances from the emitters. This results in different capacitive loads that can be measured during the respective phase of the signal in question.
- the measurement can be done by a multichannel ADC present in the microcontroller, in order thus to realize an inventive feature without major component expenditure.
- An additional input of the controller makes it possible to additionally receive the signals emitted by the operated element (switch positions, operating forces, etc.).
- Contact-fed sensory transponders can be produced, for example, on a flat polymer strip and arranged in a row in a motor vehicle steering wheel.
- a driver can be charged with an AC signal whose source z. B. from the seat, the door trim, center console, footwell can originate. When touching the steering wheel capacitive couplings are effective.
- the sensor strips according to the invention rectify the AC voltage and, with this energy, turn on position-determining signalers which are also located on the strip (for example in the form of polymer electronics). These signals can be evaluated elsewhere, it is also possible to forward them over the skin of the driver (Fig.2).
- the feeding AC voltage is then used as the carrier frequency, which is modulated by the sensor signal.
- Fig. 7 shows an example of a circuit of a strip sensor with electronics. After the rectification of the supply voltage, an RC oscillator is thus operated (eg with a Schmitt trigger inverter) whose resistive and / or capacitive component react to the enclosure with one hand and the haptic effects (eg holding force) that occur with a resulting signal form , 8a shows a possible supply circuit and Fig. 8b shows an evaluation circuit which outputs the measured levels as PWM (see Fig. 8c).
- An operator console in a vehicle can capacitively apply distinctive AC signals to the legs of the driver (left emitter) or passenger (right emitter) (Fig. 9).
- the Signals can be different in frequency, phase or modulation.
- On the console are control elements according to the invention, which in addition to the position signal and / or the function value also pass the operator identifying the alternating voltage signal to an evaluation when actuated.
- Capacitive coupling points in the console can pick up the signals and forward them to decoding or evaluation devices. If it is only necessary to determine who is operating the controls (driver / passenger distinction), these can also be conventionally wired and supplied. In this case, the applied by the driver or passenger applied AC voltage signal is evaluated in addition to the switching positions of the controls.
- Rotary switches according to the invention can exhibit at least one coupling surface which is offset from the axis of rotation (FIG. 2). Depending on the rotational position (angle), the coupling surface is closer to some emitter points than to others. This means that the resulting position signal varies depending on the switch position determinable. The same applies to slide switches.
- the position signals preferably arise only when an operator closes or loads the AC voltage circuit by haptic actuation (contact) or applies an applied AC voltage.
- luminescent substances eg gases, neon, OLED, etc.
- these substances can change their brightness or color because the coupling capacity becomes larger. This also helps, for example, to find a control element in the dark.
- the photonic effects can also be frequency-dependent.
- optical LCD filters it is also possible, for example, to see or hide underlying luminous colors.
- the light effects can also be used inside a control panel, eg for triggering opto-electrical components. It is also possible to determine the position of the light spot inside the device and thereby identify a control element.
- Operating elements can also be designed as sliding surfaces (controllers), for example by a resistive ink application as a coupling surface (or other areal resistive material).
- a resistive ink application as a coupling surface (or other areal resistive material).
- the sliding surfaces can be applied inside or outside the control panel on this. Depending on the version, a one- or three-dimensional operation is possible.
- the controls according to the invention can be attached to transparent materials and / or flat screens, which further enhances the experience value.
- piezoelectric effects can additionally be used in the control elements to amplify position signals or control values or light effects.
- the tactile controls may also include a needle which, when actuated by a hole in the control panel, pushes into the interior, thereby allowing for greater coupling of point (alternating) charges.
- the control panel can thus also consist of metal whose conductivity can also be used.
- magnets in the controls serve on the one hand for locking and / or release of locked controls, on the other hand, a magnetically induced position and function measurement is possible.
- the transmission of measured level, frequency or phase shifts to evaluation devices can be digital or analog.
- the evaluation device according to the invention may be suitable for approaching an operating element and its contact to distinguish an operator.
- the information generated by this distinction can be further considered circuitry.
- a mobile communication device in particular a WLAN-capable mobile telephone or, in particular, a Bluetooth-equipped mobile telephone.
- a signal can be generated, the connection-relevant, in particular for the mobile phone specific signals detected and transmitted by field electrical means of a communication unit.
- the user can be supplied on the basis of this concept immediately after pressing the controls product-specific, or determined by the purpose of the control information on the mobile phone, PDA, Blackberry, i-phone or the like.
- the controls can be designed as low-cost circuits and attached directly to the goods packaging, a merchandise display or an image carrier.
- the electrode structure provided for reading the actuating information is preferably arranged such that an effective field bridging is achieved by the user.
- control element circuit can, in particular, function as a sub-functional subassembly of a WLANS system and can serve this purpose by intuitively securely controllable activities - e.g. Touching a Button Icon on a Package - Handling more complex signal and data transfer operations.
- the aforementioned low-cost circuit can be designed in particular as a printed circuit which is located directly on the goods, or goods packaging.
