Abstract
A roof console for a vehicle has at least one touch-slide operating element for controlling functional elements of the vehicle. A touch-slide operating element in the sense of this application is a touch-sensitive operating element with a one-dimensional extent. As a result of the one-dimensional extent, the operating elements can beneficially recognize gestures in the form of tapping and swiping which permits excellent blind operation. The swiping movements can also be detected in both directions of the one-dimensional extent.
Claims14
A roof console for a vehicle having at least one touch-slide operating element which is configured for controlling at least one functional element of the vehicle;
- wherein
- the at least one touch-slide operating element is configured such that a swiping movement over a defined length and a resting of a finger on the at least one touch-slide operating element after the swiping movement triggers an opening or closing movement of the at least one functional element of the vehicle, which lasts until the finger is removed from the at least one touch-slide operating element;
- and
- wherein the at least one touch-slide operating element is configured to control a sliding/tilting roof such that tapping in a first of multiple edge regions of the at least one touch-slide operating element causes a movement in a direction provided by the first edge region.
