Velocity-Regulating System Having a Touch-Sensitive Control Element
First Claim
1. A velocity-regulating system for motor vehicles comprising an electronic control device that produces control signals for regulating the velocity of the motor vehicle at a pre-specified target velocity and/or at a pre-specified distance from a preceding target object, wherein the velocity-regulating system further comprises an operating element whose actuation causes an intervention that influences the velocity regulation, wherein the operating element is embodied as a touch-sensitive button that, when the button is pressed, is configured to produce a first intervention that influences the velocity regulation, and that, when the button is touched, for the period during which button is touched, is further configured to produce a second intervention that influences the active velocity regulation, wherein once the touching has ended, the original velocity regulation is continued.

Abstract
A velocity-regulating system for motor vehicles has an electronic control device that produces control signals for regulating the velocity of the motor vehicle at a pre-specified target velocity and/or at a pre-specified distance from a preceding target object. The velocity-regulating system has an operating element whose actuation causes an intervention that influences the velocity regulation. The operating element is embodied as a touch-sensitive button that, when the button is pressed, produces a first intervention that influences the velocity regulation, and that, when the button is only touched, for the period during which button is touched, produces a second intervention that influences the active velocity regulation. Once the touching has ended, the original velocity regulation is continued.

17. A velocity-regulating system comprising at least two operating elements configured to cause an intervention that influences the velocity regulation, wherein the at least two operating elements are embodied as touch-sensitive buttons that each, when the button is pressed, is configured to produce an intervention that influences the velocity regulation, wherein when the one touch-sensitive button is touched, for the period during which the button is touched, there is intervention in the velocity regulation such that no drive torque is produced, and, when the other touch-sensitive button is touched, for the period during which the button is touched, there is intervention in the velocity regulation such that the vehicle is accelerated at a pre-specified acceleration.
