INPUT DEVICE WITH VERIFICATION OF TOUCH OR ACTIVATION
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An input device comprising:
- an input surface;
at least one first detector configured to detect at least one of a touch and an activation of the input surface;
a second detector comprising a detection range which covers the input surface, the second detector being configured to detect a no-touch of the input surface; and
an evaluation unit configured so that,upon the detection of the at least one of the touch and the activation by the first detector, the evaluation device performs an assignment of a switching or control function to the at least one of the touch and the activation of the input surface, andwhen detecting the no-touch by the second detector, the evaluation unit excludes the assignment of the switching or control function.

Abstract
An input device includes an input surface, at least one first detector which detects a touch and/or an activation of the input surface, a second detector which includes a detection range which covers the input surface, and an evaluation unit. The second detector detects a no-touch of the input surface. The evaluation device assigns a switching or control function to the at least one of the touch and the activation of the input surface upon the detection of the at least one of the touch and the activation by the first detector. The evaluation unit excludes the assignment of the switching or control function upon detecting the no-touch by the second detector.

13. A process for an input verification, the process comprising:
-
providing an input device comprising, an input surface, at least one first detector configured to detect at least one of a touch and an activation of the input surface, a second detector comprising a detection range which covers the input surface, the second detector being configured to detect a no-touch of the input surface, and an evaluation unit configured so that, upon a detection of the at least one of the touch and the activation by the first detector, the evaluation device performs an assignment of a switching or control function to the at least one of the touch and the activation of the input surface, and when detecting the no-touch by the second detector, the evaluation unit excludes the assignment of the switching or control function; detecting at least one of the touch and the activation of the input surface by the first detector; verifying the detection of at least one of the touch and the activation of the input surface by the first detector via the detection by the second detector; and
, if the no touch is detected by the second detector,excluding the assignment of the switching or control function by the evaluation unit.
