Method for Processing an Actuation of an Operating Element in a Motor Vehicle

摘要

A method is provided for processing an actuation of an operating element in a motor vehicle, particularly of an operating lever, wherein the operating element can be actuated at least by the driver of the motor vehicle. A plurality of sensors are arranged on the operating element, which sensors are at least partially activated when the operating element is actuated. The time sequence of the activation of the sensors is detected when the operating element is actuated, and, based on the time sequence, it is determined whether an undesired actuation is occurring, undesired actuations including unintended actuations and/or actuations by a front-seat passenger. In the event of an undesired actuation, the implementation of one or more actions coupled to the actuation of the operating element in the vehicle is blocked.

1. A method for processing an actuation of an operating element in a motor vehicle, the operating element being actuatable at least by a driver of the motor vehicle, wherein a plurality of sensors are arranged on the operating element, said plurality of sensors being at least partially activatable when the operating element is actuated, the method comprising the acts of:
detecting a time sequence of activation of the plurality of sensors when the operating element is actuated; based on the detected time sequence, determining whether an undesired actuation is occurring, wherein the undesired actuation comprises unintended actuations and/or actuations by a front-seat passenger; and when it is determined that an undesired actuation is occurring, blocking an implementation of one or more actions coupled to the actuation of the operating element in the vehicle.
