Abstract
An operating system for a motor vehicle, having a first operating unit for detecting user gestures, at least one second operating unit for detecting user inputs, and an evaluation unit which assigns the user gestures and user inputs detected by the operating units to operating functions. The evaluation unit checks whether a user gesture and a user input have been detected at the same time within the same time window and within the same spatial area. The evaluation unit modifies or suppresses the operating function assigned to the user gesture in the event of a positive result of the check.
Claims16
An operating system for a motor vehicle comprising:
- a first operating unit for detecting user gestures in a non-contacting manner without user contact of the first operating unit,
- at least a second operating unit for detecting user inputs in response to being actuated by user contact, each second operating unit being arranged in a respective spatial region, and
- an evaluation unit that assigns operating functions from the user gestures that are detected by the first operating unit and assigns different operating functions from the user inputs that are detected by each second operating unit,
- characterized in that
- the evaluation unit checks to see whether a user gesture and a user input have been detected simultaneously within the same time window and whether the user gesture has been detected in the same spatial region of the second operating unit detecting the user input, and
- the evaluation unit modifies or suppresses the operating function that is assigned to the user gesture and maintains the operating function that is assigned to the user input in case of a positive result of the test.

- wherein the evaluation unit checks to see whether the user gesture and the user input have been detected simultaneously within the same time window and whether the user gesture has been detected within the same spatial region of the second operating unit, and
- wherein the evaluation unit modifies or suppresses the operating function that is assigned to the user gesture and maintains the operating function that is assigned to the user input in case of a positive result of the test.
