Input Device
First Claim
1. An input device comprising:
- a display;
a touch screen arranged above the display and comprising an operating surface;
an actuator for moving the touch screen in at least one direction; and
a control unit for visually representing changeable operating information and operating elements on the display;
for detecting a position of a touching on the operating surface and for haptic feedback by controlling the actuator, wherein a file or a data set is stored in the control unit or in a memory assigned to the control unit, and wherein the file or the data set comprises graphical information for representing at least operating information or at least one operating element and also control information for a haptic feedback assigned to the operating information or to the operating element.
