Abstract
A system and associated methodology that controls a vehicle component as a function of a user input. The system stores a plurality of functions associated with a plurality of touching gestures, receives the user input, determines, based on the user input, a user gesture wherein the user gesture corresponds to one of the plurality of touching gestures, determines a function associated with the user gesture, determines a feature of the user gesture, determines an operational parameter of the function based on the feature. Then, the system controls the vehicle component associated with the function as a function of the operational parameter.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- storing a plurality of functions associated with a plurality of touching gestures;
- receiving a user input;
- determining, using processing circuitry and based on the user input, a user gesture wherein the user gesture corresponds to one of the plurality of touching gestures;
- determining, using the processing circuitry, a function associated with the user gesture;
- determining, using the processing circuitry, a feature of the user gesture;
- determining, using the processing circuitry, an operational parameter of the function based on the feature;
- and
- controlling a vehicle component associated with the function as a function of the operational parameter.
A system comprising:
- a user interface;
- and
- processing circuitry configured to
- store a plurality of functions associated with a plurality of touching gestures,
- receive a user input via the user interface,
- determine, based on the user input, a user gesture wherein the user gesture corresponds to one of the plurality of touching gestures,
- determine a function associated with the user gesture,
- determine a feature of the user gesture,
- determine an operational parameter of the function based on the feature, and
- control a vehicle component associated with the function as a function of the operational parameter.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing computer-readable instructions therein which when executed by a computer cause the computer to perform a method comprising:
- storing a plurality of functions associated with a plurality of touching gestures;
- receiving a user input;
- determining, based on the user input, a user gesture wherein the user gesture corresponds to one of the plurality of touching gestures;
- determining a function associated with the user gesture;
- determining a feature of the user gesture;
- determining an operational parameter of the function based on the feature;
- and
- controlling a vehicle component associated with the function as a function of the operational parameter.
