Device for controlling multiple different functions of a motor vehicle

摘要

An apparatus for the operator control of a plurality of different functions in a motor vehicle has a touch-sensitive display panel that can be used to display at least some of the controllable functions by respective symbols associated with the respective function. The symbols can be moved on the display panel by a combined touch and displacement movement in order to bring the respective function to be controlled to a fixed operator control position on the display panel at which operator control of the respective function is possible. The apparatus furthermore has an operator control device that is separate from the display panel and that has at least one operator control element arranged adjacent to the operator control position, for controlling the selected function.

1. An apparatus for operator control of a plurality of different functions in a motor vehicle, comprising:
a touch-sensitive display panel to display at least some of the controllable functions with respective symbols, each symbol being assigned a respective function, the symbols being arranged on the display panel in a first direction and being displayed on the display panel at positions that are movable by a combined touch and displacement movement in the first direction, the display panel having a fixed operator control position such that when a selected symbol which is assigned a respective selected function is moved in the first direction toward the operator control position, operator control via an operator control device is possible of the respective selected function assigned to the selected symbol which is disposed at the operator control position; and the operator control device is separate from the display panel and adjacent to the operator control position of the display panel, the operator control device having an operator control element to control the selected function, wherein the operator control element has at least two different control directions to control the selected function in different ways, the operator control element is rotatable about an axis of rotation with respect to the operator control device, to control the selected function, and the axis of rotation of the operator control device is parallel to a plane of the display panel and to the first direction.
