Abstract
An apparatus for operating a touch control based steering wheel includes a touch sensor for generating sensor-related information by measuring a surface location and intensity of a steering wheel to sense a gesture, a control unit for performing a corresponding function by analyzing the sensor-related information to generate touch input pattern information, and selecting a predetermined control command depending upon the touch input pattern information, and a feedback circuit for providing a feedback depending upon the control command.
