摘要： An input device includes a touch plate having a central axis and a top surface with three outer points evenly spaced away from the central axis. A touch sensor is used to detect a user touch on the top surface at the first outer point, and a support mechanism supports the touch plate and is configured to translate the touch plate at the second and third outer points upon application of the user touch and translation of the touch plate at the first outer point. Translation of the three outer points is substantially equal along the central axis.

摘要： A touchpad device is provided in the disclosure. The touchpad device includes a touch circuit board, at least two pressure detecting elements, a touch control unit, and a pressure control unit. The touch circuit board includes a touchable zone. The at least two pressure detecting elements are located below the touch circuit board and correspond to at least one pressure sensitive input region in the touchable zone. The touch control unit is electrically connected to the touch circuit board and is configured to receive and process a touch signal from the touch circuit board to generate touch coordinate information. The pressure control unit is electrically connected to the pressure detecting elements and is configured to receive and process a pressure signal detected by the pressure detecting elements in the pressure sensitive input region to generate touch pressure information.

摘要： Systems and methods of automatic screen mapping are presented. In one exemplary embodiment, a method is performed by a controller device that is coupled to at least one of a set of display devices that are spatially arranged so that each display device is positioned adjacent to at least one other display device and wherein each display device includes a screen structure having a set of presence sensitive sensors. Each display device is operable, for each presence sensitive sensor of the corresponding screen structure, to detect a presence signal and to radiate a presence signal. The method includes receiving an indication that a second display device of the set of display devices has detected a presence signal radiated from a presence sensitive sensor of a first display device of the set of display devices so as to determine a spatial arrangement of the first and second display devices.

摘要： The operating device for a vehicle is provided with a housing having a front face with a receiving opening being delimited by an opening edge, and having a rear wall, and with an operating element being arranged in the receiving opening at a distance from the opening edge thereof and having an operating surface, said operating element having a front face provided with the operating surface, a rear face, and a delimiting edge region. The operating device further comprises a holding element having a bottom wall and support parts which protrude from the bottom wall and end below the delimiting edge region of the operating element and are mechanically coupled to the operating element in the delimiting edge region. The bottom wall of the holding element has a central region which is spaced from the support parts and within which the bottom wall of the holding element is supported against the rear wall of the housing. A manual actuation of the operating element is detected by multiple actuation sensors which are arranged between the bottom wall of the holding element and the rear wall of the housing within the surrounding region that surrounds the central region of the bottom wall of the holding element and is arranged at a distance from the rear wall of the housing. An evaluation unit receives the signals from the actuation sensors and evaluates said signals for the purpose of detecting a manual actuation of the operating element performed with a predefinable minimum pressing force.
