Abstract
An actuation interface for actuating a cover (e.g., a vehicle window, door, sun roof, partition, gate, etc.) that selectively covers an opening in a compartment may be configured for actuation based at least in part on a number of concurrent touch inputs. The cover may be controlled by receiving a touch input at the actuation interface, and detecting a number of concurrent touch inputs that are received as part of the touch input. The cover may be actuated to move based at least in part on a determination of the number of concurrent touch inputs that are received at the actuation interface.
Claims20
A vehicle comprising:
- a cover movably coupled to a body of the vehicle configured to move between a closed position in which the cover covers an opening in a compartment of the vehicle and an open position in which the cover partially covers the opening;
- one or more processors and memory, the memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, configure the vehicle to perform operations comprising:
- displaying, at a touch interface, two or more selectable controls associated with actuating the opening, wherein a selectable control of the two or more selectable controls comprises at least a first indicator displayed within the selectable control and a second indicator displayed within the selectable control;
- receiving, at the touch interface, touch input from a user;
- detecting, via at least the first indicator of the selectable control displayed on the touch interface, a number of concurrent touch inputs that are received at the touch interface;
- determining whether to actuate the cover to move based at least in part on the number of the concurrent touch inputs that are received via the touch interface, wherein:
- responsive to detecting that the number of concurrent touch inputs received via the selectable control is one, causing;
- feedback to be displayed on the touch interface indicating that the touch input requires an additional touch input to select the selectable control, the feedback comprising highlighting at least the second indicator;
- and
- the cover to remain at a current position;
- and
- responsive to detecting that the number of concurrent touch inputs received via the selectable control is more than one;
- causing the selectable control to be selected;
- and
- actuating the cover to move based at least in part on a duration or a distance associated with the touch input.

A method comprising:
- displaying, at a touch interface, two or more selectable controls associated with actuating a cover, wherein a selectable control of the two or more selectable controls comprises at least a first indicator displayed within the selectable control and a second indicator displayed within the selectable control;
- receiving, via the touch interface, touch input;
- detecting, via at least the first indicator of the selectable control displayed on the touch interface, a number of concurrent touch inputs that are received via the touch interface;
- determining whether to actuate the cover to move based at least in part on the number of the concurrent touch inputs that are received, wherein:
- responsive to detecting that the number of concurrent touch inputs received via the selectable control is one, causing:
- feedback to be displayed on the touch interface indicating that the touch input requires an additional touch input to select the selectable control, the feedback comprising highlighting at least the second indicator;
- and
- the cover to remain at a current position;
- and
- responsive to detecting that the number of concurrent touch inputs received via the selectable control is more than one;
- causing the selectable control to be selected;
- and
- actuating the cover to move based at least in part on a duration or a distance associated with the touch input.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed, cause one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- displaying, at a touch interface, two or more selectable controls associated with actuating a cover, wherein a selectable control of the two or more selectable controls comprises at least a first indicator displayed within the selectable control and a second indicator displayed within the selectable control;
- receiving, at the touch interface, a touch input;
- detecting, via at least the first indicator of the selectable control displayed on the touch interface, a number of concurrent touch inputs that are received via the touch interface;
- determining whether to actuate the cover to move based at least in part on the number of the concurrent touch inputs that are received via the touch interface, wherein:
- responsive to detecting that the number of concurrent touch inputs received via the selectable control is one, causing:
- feedback to be displayed on the touch interface indicating that the touch input requires an additional touch input to select the selectable control, the feedback comprising highlighting at least the second indicator;
- and
- the cover to remain at a current position;
- and
- responsive to detecting that the number of concurrent touch inputs received via the selectable control is more than one;
- causing the selectable control to be selected;
- and
- actuating the cover to move based at least in part on a duration or a distance associated with the touch input.
