Patent Images
1. A method for operating a portable input device to control a motor vehicle comprising:
- generating an actuating force on a pressure-sensitive touchscreen of an input device to provide control signals that control the vehicle, wherein a pressure value of the actuating force is captured by the touchscreen; and
transmitting the control signals to the motor vehicle to control the vehicle, the control signals including a parameter having a value representative of a magnitude of the pressure value, the parameter being assigned to control a speed of the vehicle according to the magnitude of the pressure value.

Abstract
The disclosure relates to a method for operating a portable input device to control a motor vehicle. The input device has a pressure-sensitive touchscreen. The input device generates control signals to control the motor vehicle, and transmit said signals to the motor vehicle. The control signal has at least one determinable parameter. The input device is designed to capture a pressure value of an actuating force of the touchscreen, and determine the parameter according to the captured pressure value.
