Abstract

The control device uses a multifunctional operating element (1) which can rotate about a longitudinal axis and which can move along this axis for making a selection from a menu or partial menu, or controlling a function and/or a function value displayed on an image screen display. A resetting spring provides an additional pivot movement of the operating control for selecting menu points within an edge region of the image screen display.

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Vorrichtung mit den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffs von Patentanspruch 1.The invention relates to a device with the features of the preamble of claim 1.

Eine derartige Vorrichtung ist aus der EP 0 796 766 A2 bekannt. Dabei dient das Betätigungsglied dazu, die Anzahl der Ebenen innerhalb der Menüstruktur zu ver­ größern. Hierzu ist angegeben, die Ebenen über den Umfang der Bildschirmanzeige verteilt anzuordnen. Eine derartige Vorrichtung bedeutet für den Benutzer eine zu­ sätzliche Schwierigkeit, da er keine eindeutige Zuordnung zwischen der Zusatzbe­ wegung des Betätigungsglieds und der Axial- bzw. Rotationsbewegung dieses Glieds vorfindet. Auch gestaltet sich der Übergang zwischen den Ebenen und inner­ halb der Menüstruktur für ihn nicht eindeutig und führt letztendlich zu einer erhebli­ chen Ablenkung des Benutzers vom Verkehrsgeschehen.Such a device is known from EP 0 796 766 A2. This serves Actuator for verifying the number of levels within the menu structure enlarge. For this it is specified the levels over the scope of the screen display to be distributed. Such a device means one for the user additional difficulty, since he has no clear assignment between the additional movement of the actuator and the axial or rotational movement of this Link found. The transition between the levels and inside is also shaped half of the menu structure for him is not clear and ultimately leads to a considerable Chen distraction of the user from the traffic.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, bei der eine eindeutige Zuordnung zwischen der Bildschirmanzeige und den verschiedenen Bewegungsmöglichkeiten des Betätigungsglieds besteht.The invention has for its object a device of the aforementioned Way of creating a clear association between the screen display and the various possibilities of movement of the actuator.

Die Erfindung löst diese Aufgabe durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention solves this problem by the features of claim 1.

Nunmehr wird durch die Zusatzbewegung des Betätigungsglieds ein übergeordneter Punkt der Menüstruktur durch die Dreh- bzw. Längsbewegung des Betätigungs­ glieds ein demgegenüber untergeordneter Punkt der Menüstruktur ausgewählt. Konkret bedeutet dies beispielsweise, daß im Randbereich die möglichen Menüs angeordnet sind, während sich im Mittelbereich die zugehörigen Untermenüs bzw. Funktionen oder Funktionswerte befinden. Dabei sind im Mittelbereich nur die Teil­ menüs, die Funktion bzw. Funktionswerte angeordnet, die zu dem einen, vorzugs­ weise durch eine vorhergehende Zusatzbewegung des Betätigungsglieds ausge­ wählten Menü gehören. Im Randbereich befinden sich somit die innerhalb der Me­ nüstruktur auf gleicher Stufe stehenden Punkte, während im Mittelbereich die hier­ archisch niedrigeren Punkte zu finden sind.The additional movement of the actuating element now makes it a superordinate one Point of the menu structure through the rotary or longitudinal movement of the actuation a subordinate item of the menu structure is selected. Specifically, this means, for example, that the possible menus are in the border area are arranged, while the associated submenus or Functions or function values. Only the part are in the middle menus, the function or function values arranged to the one, preferred  pointed out by a previous additional movement of the actuator selected menu belong. In the marginal area are therefore within the me points on the same level, while here in the middle area archically lower points can be found.

Wie an sich aus der EP 0 796 766 A bekannt ist, kann das Betätigungsglied sowohl eine Taumelbewegung als auch eine Parallelverschiebung als Zusatzbewegung durchführen und dabei auch zwangsgeführt sein. Diese Bewegungsmöglichkeiten bzw. -einschränkungen verbessern den Umgang mit und die Bewegung innerhalb der Menüstruktur. Ausgehend von der Mittellage als Ausgangslage des Betäti­ gungsglieds ist die Zusatzbewegung gleichbedeutend mit einem Verlassen der durch die im Mittelbereich angegebenen Ebene der Menüstruktur und das Aussu­ chen der nächsthöheren Ebene. Die Zurückbewegung in die Ausgangslage bedeutet wiederum den Übergang von der soeben aufgesuchten höheren Ebene in die dar­ unter liegende nächste Ebene. Der Benutzer erhält damit taktil ein Gefühl dafür ver­ mittelt, in welcher Weise er sich innerhalb der Menüstruktur bewegt.As is known per se from EP 0 796 766 A, the actuator can both a wobble as well as a parallel shift as an additional movement perform and be positively guided. These possibilities of movement or restrictions improve handling and movement within the menu structure. Starting from the middle position as the starting position of the actuator the additional movement is synonymous with leaving the by the level of the menu structure and the the next higher level. The return movement to the starting position means again the transition from the higher level just visited to the next level below. This gives the user a tactile feeling for it averages how he moves within the menu structure.

Anhand der Zeichnung ist die Erfindung weiter erläutert. Es zeigtThe invention is further explained on the basis of the drawing. It shows

Fig. 1 eine Bildschirmanzeige, die im Rahmen der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung verwendet wird,Which is used in the apparatus of the invention Fig. 1 is a screen display,

Fig. 2 die Bildschirmanzeige von Fig. 1 bei Ansteuerung durch ein aus der EP 0 796 766 A bekanntes Betätigungsglied. Fig. 2 shows the screen display of Fig. 1 when controlled by an actuator known from EP 0 796 766 A.

In Fig. 1 ist die im Rahmen der Erfindung vorgesehene Bildschirmanzeige prinzipiell dargestellt. Innerhalb einer Anzeigefläche 1, die gleich der Bildfläche eines Bild­ schirms ist, befindet sich ein Randbereich 2 und ein Mittelbereich 3. Im Randbereich 2 sind an acht Stellen, die bezogen auf den Mittelpunkt der Anzeigefläche 1 in etwa jeweils um 45° gegeneinander versetzt sind, acht Symbole für die mit einem nicht dargestellten Betätigungsglied anzusteuernden Menüs dargestellt. Es handelt sich dabei um die Menüs Audio, Navigation, Fernsehen (TV), Stand-Klima usw. In Fig. 1 the screen display provided in the context of the invention is shown in principle. Within a display area 1 , which is the same as the image area of a screen, there is an edge area 2 and a central area 3. In the edge area 2 are at eight points, which are each offset by approximately 45 ° relative to the center of the display area 1 , Eight symbols for the menus to be controlled with an actuator, not shown. These are the menus audio, navigation, television (TV), stationary climate, etc.

"Einstellung" bedeutet, den insgesamt einstellbaren Funktionen bzw. Funktionswerte zugeordnet, "Off" steht für die Möglichkeit, die Bildschirmanzeige auszuschalten."Setting" means the total adjustable functions or function values assigned, "Off" stands for the possibility to switch off the screen display.

Durch eine Zusatzbewegung (Taumel- bzw. Parallelbewegung) des Betätigungs­ glieds (nicht dargestellt) kann einer der acht Menüpunkte ausgewählt werden. Hier­ zu ist das Betätigungsglied in einer durch einen Pfeil 4 symbolisierten Richtung zu bewegen. Hier wird der Menüpunkt Audio ausgewählt. Diese Auswahl geschieht durch Bewegen des Betätigungsglieds in der durch den Pfeil 4 angegebenen Rich­ tung um eine Strecke bzw. einen Winkel, der ein vorgegebenes Maß übersteigt. Damit ist der Menüpunkt "Audio" ausgewählt. Nach Loslassen geht das Betäti­ gungsglied wieder in die Ruhelage zurück. Gleichzeitig erscheinen innerhalb der Anzeigefläche 1 die dem Menüpunkt 4 zugeordneten hierarchiemäßig untergeord­ neten Menüpunkte. Es handelt sich dabei um die innerhalb eines nicht dargestellten Rundfunkgeräts fest programmierten Sendestationen. Diese werden im Mittelbe­ reich angezeigt. Dies ist in Fig. 2 gezeigt. Eines der Symbole, hier "Antenne" ist op­ tisch hervorgehoben. Es handelt sich dabei um das Symbol des Senders, der zuletzt ausgewählt wurde. Nimmt der Fahrzeugbenutzer keine weiteren Einstellungen vor, so bleibt dieser Sender eingestellt.One of the eight menu items can be selected by an additional movement (wobble or parallel movement) of the actuating member (not shown). Here the actuator is to be moved in a direction symbolized by an arrow 4 . The Audio menu item is selected here. This selection is done by moving the actuator in the direction indicated by the arrow 4 Rich by a distance or an angle that exceeds a predetermined amount. The menu item "Audio" is now selected. After releasing the actuator goes back to the rest position. At the same time, the hierarchically subordinate menu items assigned to menu item 4 appear within display area 1 . These are the transmission stations that are permanently programmed within a radio device, not shown. These are shown in the middle area. This is shown in Figure 2. One of the symbols, here "antenna" is optically highlighted. It is the symbol of the station that was last selected. If the vehicle user does not make any further settings, this transmitter remains set.

Möchte er hingegen den Sender ändern, so dreht er hierzu das Betätigungsglied um seine Längsachse. Es handelt sich dabei um einen Dreh-Druck-Knopf, wie er aus der EP 0 366 132 B1 bekannt ist, und auch in der EP 0 796 766 A beschrieben ist. Dabei wird eines der den anderen Sendern zugeordneten Symbole, z. B. Klassik optisch anstelle von Antenne hervorgehoben. Die Umschaltung auf diesen Sender erfolgt, indem der Dreh-Druck-Knopfin Längsrichtung bewegt wird. Unter der Wir­ kung einer Rückstellfeder geht er anschließend wieder in seine Ausgangslage zu­ rück.If, on the other hand, he wants to change the transmitter, he turns the actuator for this purpose its longitudinal axis. It is a rotary pushbutton as it is made of is known from EP 0 366 132 B1, and is also described in EP 0 796 766 A. One of the symbols assigned to the other transmitters, for. B. Classic optically highlighted instead of antenna. Switching to this transmitter is done by moving the rotary pushbutton in the longitudinal direction. Under the we With a return spring, he then returns to his starting position return

Soll nun auf eine Funktion eines anderen Menüs, beispielsweise des Menüs BC =Bordcomputer umgeschaltet werden, ist hierzu der Dreh-Druck-Knopf in der durch den Pfeil BC angegebenen Richtung zu verschwenken bzw. parallel zu ver­ schieben. Mit dem Verschwenken einher geht die Anzeige der verschiedenen Funk­ tionen des Bordcomputers im Mittelbereich anstelle der in Fig. 2 dargestellten Sen­ dersymbole. Eine Bordcomputer-Funktion, z. B. Reichweite kann standardmäßig oder nach vorbereitender Axialbewegung des Dreh-Druck-Knopfs hervorgehoben sein. Die Auswahl dieser Funktion, d. h. die Anzeige der tatsächlichen Reichweite des Fahrzeugs, kann dann erfolgen, indem der Dreh-Druck-Knopf gegebenenfalls nochmals axial bewegt wird. Im Mittelbereich erscheint beispielsweise neben dem optisch hervorgehobenen Symbol "Reichweite" der Wert der Reichweite, z. B. 225 km.If you now want to switch to a function of another menu, for example the menu BC = on-board computer, the rotary pushbutton must be pivoted in the direction indicated by the arrow BC or pushed parallel to it. With the pivoting goes hand in hand with the display of the various functions of the on-board computer in the central area instead of the sensor symbols shown in FIG. 2. An on-board computer function, e.g. B. Range can be highlighted by default or after preparatory axial movement of the rotary pushbutton. The selection of this function, that is to say the display of the actual range of the vehicle, can then take place by the rotary pushbutton possibly being moved axially again. In the middle area, for example, the value of the range, e.g. B. 225 km.

Unmittelbar danach kann auf das Menü Navigation umgeschaltet werden, indem die Zusatzbewegung des Dreh-Druck-Knopfs in Richtung des Pfeils "Navigation" durch­ geführt wird. Im Mittelbereich erscheinen die einzelnen Navigationsparameter.Immediately afterwards you can switch to the Navigation menu by pressing the Additional movement of the rotary pushbutton in the direction of the "Navigation" arrow to be led. The individual navigation parameters appear in the middle.

Auf diese Weise ist es möglich, rasch und sicher zwischen den einzelnen Menüs, den Teilmenüs, Funktionen und Funktionswerte umzuschalten.In this way it is possible to quickly and safely between the individual menus, to switch the submenus, functions and function values.
