METHOD FOR TWO-HANDED OPERATION OF A FLAT DISPLAY AND OPERATING UNIT, A TOUCH SCREEN, HMI DEVICE, AUTOMATION SYSTEM AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR IMPLEMENTING SAID METHOD

摘要

The invention relates to a method, whereby the position of at least one virtual activity area on the display and operating unit is defined and at least one release action is associated to said activity area. The position of a central activity area on the display and operating unit is then defined by geometrically linking the positions of a first real activity area and a second real activity area. In a final step, it is checked whether the position of the central activity area corresponds to the position of the virtual activity area. If the positions correspond to each other, the associated release action is then activated. Said method permits a two-handed operation even on a flat display and operating unit, in particular an analog touch screen.
