Method For Operating A Lighting Control Console
First Claim
1. A method for operating a lighting control console (01) for controlling a lighting system, wherein digital adjusting commands are generated in the lighting control console, which can be transferred to the lighting devices of the lighting system via data connections, and wherein the lighting control console (01) comprises at least one digital processor and at least one digital memory for generating, managing and storing the adjusting commands, and wherein the lighting control console comprises at least one display device, and wherein graphical elements can be graphically depicted to the user on the display device, and wherein the display device-exhibits a touch-sensitive sensor surface, and wherein touching the touch-sensitive sensor surface at the display device in the region of a contact surface permits the selection of an operator input assigned to said contact surface (14), comprising the following method steps of:
- a) detecting the touching of the touch-sensitive sensor surface in the region of a contact surface in which the sensor surface is covered by a body part of the operator;
b) measuring the dimension of the contact surface;
c) generating an adjusting command for controlling the lighting system as a function of the measured dimension of the contact surface.

Abstract
A method for operating a lighting control console (01) for controlling a lighting system, wherein digital adjusting commands are generated in the lighting control console (01), which can be transferred to the lighting devices of the lighting system via data connections, and wherein the lighting control console (01) comprises at least one digital processor and at least one digital memory for generating, managing and storing the adjusting commands, and wherein the lighting control console (01) comprises at least one display unit (07), and wherein graphical elements can be graphically depicted to the user on the display device (07), and wherein the display device (07) exhibits a touch-sensitive sensor surface (10), and wherein touching of the touch-sensitive sensor surface (10) at the display device (07) in the region of a contact surface (14) permits the selection of an operator input assigned to said contact surface (14),
comprising the following method steps of:
- a) detecting the touching of the touch-sensitive sensor surface (10) in the region of a contact surface (14a, 14b) in which the sensor surface (10) is covered by a body part of the operator;
- b) measuring the dimension of the contact surface (14a, 14b);
- c) generating an adjusting command for controlling the lighting system as a function of the measured dimension of the contact surface (14a, 14b).
