Operational device for a motor vehicle and method for capturing user input

摘要

The operating device (1) has a control unit (3) and an operating element (2,5) coupled with the control unit, by whose actuating an user input is ascertained. A proximity sensor (11) is coupled with the control unit, by which a proximity of an operating element, particularly a body part, e.g. a finger of a user, on the operating element is detected before an operation of the operating elements. The control unit is arranged, an information standing in connection with an operation of the operating elements is displayed by a detected proximity of the operating element on the operating elements. An independent claim is also included for a method for determination of user input in a motor vehicle.
