VEHICLE CONTROL SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A vehicle control system for a vehicle, the system comprising:
- a control device having a plurality of positions, wherein the control device is configured to transmit at least data regarding a first position of the control device when an object is proximate to the control device;
a processing device, wherein the processing device is configured to;
receive at least the data regarding the first position from the control device;
identify the control device transmitting the data; and
transmit at least the data regarding the first position of the control device and identity of the control device; and
a display device, wherein the display device is configured to;
receive at least the data regarding the first position and identity of the control device from the processing device;
visually display a virtual control having a plurality of positions corresponding to the plurality of positions of the control device, showing at least the first position and identity of the control device; and
allow adjustment of the virtual control to at least a second position of the virtual control, wherein the second position of the virtual control is different from the first position of the virtual control.

Abstract
A vehicle control system comprising a control device having a plurality of positions, a processing device, and a display device. The control device is configured to transmit data regarding a position of the control device when an object is proximate to the control device. The processing device is configured to receive the data from the control device, identify the control device transmitting the data, and transmit data regarding the first position and identity of the control device. The display device is configured to receive the data from the processing device, visually display a virtual control having a plurality of positions, and allow adjustment of the plurality of positions of the virtual control to at least a second position of the virtual control, wherein the second position is different from the first position.
