Operating device for a motor vehicle
First Claim
1. An operating device for operating a computing device in a motor vehicle, comprising:
- a display configured to optically display information;
a touch screen arranged above the display configured to input commands based on a pressure exerted on the touch screen, as ascertained by a force sensor, and based on a location on the touch screen where the pressure is exerted;
an actuator configured to set the touch screen in motion;
at least one spring element operatively arranged between the actuator and an outer periphery of the touch screen to transfer motion from the actuator to the touch screen; and
an internal control system configured to control the actuator to set in motion the touch screen in response to a pressure exerted on the touch screen in an area of the touch screen provided for haptic feedback; and
an interface configured to read in at least one of;
(a) geographical details to specify at least one of (a) a point and (b) an area on the touch screen; and
(b) an output instruction assigned to the geographical details to state whether, in response to a pressure exerted on the touch screen at a location on the touch screen that corresponds to the geographical details, a message is to be output by the operating device relating to the pressure exerted on the touch screen;
wherein the interface is configured to transmit, to the operating device, a haptic indication, assigned to the geographical details, to indicate a type of the haptic reaction in response to the pressure exerted on the touch screen.

Abstract
An operating device is for operating a computing device, e.g., an operating device is for operating a computing device for controlling functions in a motor vehicle, the operating device including a display for optically displaying information, a touch screen situated above the display, for the input of commands by touching the touch screen and/or by pressing on the touch screen, and an actuator for setting the touch screen in motion, and the operating device having an internal control system for controlling the actuator for setting in motion the touch screen in response to a touching of the touch screen and/or in response to a pressing on the touch screen, in an area of the touch screen that is provided for haptic feedback.
