Method for controlling a touch surface control device and electric touch surface control device including means for implementing said method
First Claim
1. A method for controlling a control device with a touch-sensitive surface comprising:
- at least one step in which a sensory feedback is generated which corresponds to a detection of a user pressing on the touch-sensitive surface and which comprises a haptic feedback and an acoustic feedback; and
offsetting in time the generation of the haptic feedback and the acoustic feedback, wherein the generation of the acoustic feedback is begun after that of the haptic feedback, from the moment when a value characteristic of the haptic feedback exceeds a predefined threshold, resulting in a simultaneous perception of the haptic and acoustic feedbacks by the user.

Abstract
The invention relates to a method for controlling a touch surface control device, including at least one step comprising the generation of sensory feedback corresponding to the detection of a pressure applied by a user on the touch surface, said sensory feedback comprising haptic feedback and acoustic feedback. The invention is characterized in that the generation of the acoustic feedback is initiated after the generation of the haptic feedback once a characteristic value of the haptic feedback has exceeded a pre-defined threshold. The invention also relates to an electric control device having a touch surface, characterized in that it includes means for implementing said method (1).
