Abstract
A method operates a hand-guided processing device having a user-activated operating sensor device with a plurality of different detection positions. The method involves the steps: a) detecting a sequence of activations of the operating sensor device at different detection positions of the plurality of detection positions, and b) when the detected sequence corresponds to a given sequence, calibrating the operating sensor device for at least one detection position of the plurality of detection positions based on at least one of the activations of the detected activations.

A method for operating a hand-guided processing device having a user-activated operating sensor device with a plurality of different detection positions, the method comprising the steps of:
- a) detecting a sequence (eAB) of activations (Ba-c, Bg-q) of the operating sensor device at different detection positions (POa-c, Pog-q) of the plurality of detection positions (POa-x);
- and
- b) when the detected sequence (eAB) corresponds to a given sequence (vAB), calibrating the operating sensor device for at least one detection position (POa-x) of the plurality of detection positions (POa-x) based on at least one of the activations (Ba-c, Bg-q) of the detected activations (Ba-c, Bg-q),
- wherein the operating sensor device comprises a plurality of user-activated, capacitive and/or resistive operating sensors, wherein the operating sensors comprise the detection positions (POa-x),
- wherein step a) comprises:
- detecting the sequence (eAB) involving activations (Ba-c, Bg-q) of different operating sensors (2a-c, 2g-q) of the plurality of operating sensors (2a-x), and
