Abstract
The proposed solution in particular relates to a method for generating a haptic feedback on a vehicle part including an operating element that is accessible for a user for manual actuation, and in response to an electronically detected actuation of the operating element, a feedback haptically perceptible for the user is generated in that the vehicle part and the operating element is adjusted back and forth in a power-operated way or is put into vibration.
Claims13
An apparatus, comprising:
- an electromotive drive configured to adjust a vehicle window;
- an electronic control unit;
- an operating element on the vehicle window accessible for a user for manual actuation;
- and provided to electronically control a door function on the vehicle other than adjustment of the vehicle window from outside the vehicle;
- and
- wherein, in response to an electronically detected manual actuation of the operating element a feedback haptically perceptible for the user is generated in that the vehicle window including the operating element is adjusted back and forth by the electromotive drive, wherein the electronic control unit is configured, for the back and forth adjustment of the vehicle window and in order to generate the haptically perceptible feedback on the vehicle window, to actuate the electromotive drive to rotate for less than 10 ms in a first direction of rotation and to rotate for less than 10 ms in an opposite second direction of rotation.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a speaker for outputting sound not audible for a human ear;
- an electronic control unit;
- and
- an operating element on a vehicle door accessible for a user for manual actuation and provided to electronically control a function on the vehicle other than an adjustment of the vehicle window from outside the vehicle,
- wherein the electronic unit is configured, in response to an electronically detected manual actuation of the operating element, to generate a feedback haptically perceptible for the user on the vehicle door by putting the vehicle door into vibration via operating the speaker with a frequency not audible for the human ear of less than 20 Hz.
An apparatus, comprising:
- an electronic control unit;
- a vehicle door including a door outer skin, and a window pane;
- and
- an operating element on the window pane or the door outer skin, the operating element being accessible for a user for manual actuation and provided to electronically control a function other than an adjustment of the window pane from outside the vehicle,
- wherein the electronic unit is configured, in response to an electronically detected manual actuation of the operating element, to generate a feedback haptically perceptible for the user on the window pane by putting the window pane into vibration or adjusting the window back and forth, the haptically perceptible feedback by adjusting the window back and forth being different to an adjustment of the window pane for clearing or closing a window opening in the vehicle door.
