Abstract
The invention relates to a control unit, in particular for medical equipment. Said unit comprises a display surface (5) that can be sterilised, a protective housing (3) that can be sterilised and is mechanically connected to the display surface (5) and a recording unit (4) that can be inserted into the protective housing (3) and comprises a detection device (7), which is used to identify a modification in the position of an object relative to the display surface (5). The recording unit (4) is switched on by acoustic activation via a voice input, or alternatively by means of a proximity switch (14) when an object approaches the projection plate (5).
Claims18
A control unit comprising
- a sterilizable screen which is free of electronic components and on which a user control field is reproducable,
- a detection device for detecting a change in a position of an object relative to the screen, and
- a sterilizable protective housing connected mechanically to the screen, the protective housing being free of electronic components and operable for reversible reception of the detection device,
- wherein for switching on the detection device, a device for acoustic activation by voice input is provided.
A control unit comprising
- a sterilizable screen which is free of electronic components and on which a user control field is reproducable,
- a detection device for detecting a change in a position of an object relative to the screen,
- a sterilizable protective housing connected mechanically to the screen, the protective housing being free of electronic components and operable for reversible reception of the detection device,
- wherein the detection device is a projection/detection unit having a projection device for projecting the user control field onto the projection screen, and
- a proximity switch for switching on the projection/detection unit upon the approach of an object to the projection screen.
The control unit of 11 further comprising a transmission unit for wireless communication with a medical device to be triggered in response to the detection device.
