An apparatus and a method for controlling and confirming a window are disclosed. An apparatus for controlling and confirming a window position, includes an input dial including a jog dial or a wheel dial and configured to input an input signal in response to a dialing operation by a user, a window configured to be opened or closed by a magnitude of the input signal inputted by the input dial, and a position confirming device configured to inform the user of a current window position in a tactile manner.
Claims22
An apparatus for controlling and confirming a window position of a car, the apparatus comprising:
- an input dial including a jog dial or a wheel dial and configured to generate an input signal in response to a dialing operation by a user;
- a dial displacement sensor configured to generate a displacement value changing with a rotation of the input dial;
- a window motor configured to adjust a degree of opening and closing of the window according to the displacement value of the dial displacement sensor;
- a window displacement sensor configured to generate a displacement value changing with a rotation of the window motor;
- a position confirming device configured to inform the user of a current window position based on the displacement value of the window displacement sensor in a tactile manner,
- wherein a position of the window is determined by a magnitude of the input signal generated by the input dial, and the jog dial or the wheel dial is configured to rotate according to a range of movement of the window at a one to one ratio.
