Abstract
A user interface for controlling an agricultural machine and a method of adjusting a haptic feedback of an user interface including method acts for determining a set point position, determining a current position of the input element, and adjusting a ripple characteristic of at least one ripple according to a second ripple characteristic being different to a first ripple characteristic if the at least one ripple is located within an adjustment range extending between the set point position and the current position of the input element.
Claims16
A user interface for controlling an agricultural machine, comprising
- a moveable input element;
- a feedback actuator for inducing a haptic feedback in the input element according to a force feedback characteristic, wherein the force feedback characteristic comprises at least one ripple having an adjustable ripple characteristic;
- and
- a control unit configured to adjust the ripple characteristic of the at least one ripple according to a first ripple characteristic or a second ripple characteristic being different to the first ripple characteristic.
A method of adjusting a haptic feedback of a user interface, comprising:
- determining a set point position;
- determining a current position of the input element;
- and
- adjusting a ripple characteristic of at least one ripple according to a second ripple characteristic being different to a first ripple characteristic if the at least one ripple is located within an adjustment range extending between the set point position and the current position of the input element.
