CONTROL DEVICE FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE AND CONTROL METHOD
First Claim
1. A method for commanding a control device for an automotive vehicle, comprising:
- measuring the pressure variation of a press of a user on a touch surface of the control device; and
generating a sensory stimulus in response to the measurement,wherein the sensory stimulus includes at least one vibratory stimulus when the variation in the press pressure over a predetermined duration is comprised in a predefined range, andwherein the sensory stimulus is replaced with a substitutional audio stimulus when the variation in the press pressure over the predetermined duration departs from the predefined range.

Abstract
The invention relates to a method for controlling a control device for a motor vehicle which comprises measuring the variation in the pressure by a user pressing on a touch-sensitive surface (2) and generating a haptic feedback, characterised in that the haptic feedback comprises at least one vibratory feedback when the variation in the pressing pressure (dp1, dp2, dp2′) over a predetermined time (dt1, dt2) is within a predefined range, and in that the haptic feedback is replaced with a replacement acoustic feedback when the variation in the pressing pressure (dp1, dp2, dp2′) over the predetermined time (dt1, dt2) leaves the predefined range.
