A touch control device includes a base including a metal complex; a sensing pattern formed in a pattern groove formed in a touch area of the base and including a conductive material; and a wire arranged in a wire groove outside of the touch area of the base and connecting the sensing pattern and an integrated circuit, the wire including a conductive material.

The invention relates to an operator control apparatus for outputting haptic feedback comprising an operator control surface, an actuator, which is at least indirectly coupled to the operator control surface, for generating the haptic feedback on the operator control surface and a control unit which is designed to drive the actuator by means of a haptic component of a control signal for generating the haptic feedback. In this case, the control unit is designed to drive the actuator by means of an acoustic component of the control signal for generating acoustic feedback.

This disclosure relates to a vehicular display assembly and a vehicle, and the vehicular display assembly includes: a storage box; and a display device arranged on an opening side of the storage box, wherein the display device includes a laid state or a folding state, wherein the display device which is laid shields the opening of the storage box, and the display device which is folded exposes at least a part of the opening of the storage box.

A smart controller for vehicles disposed around a steering column of a vehicle to control various functions of the vehicle is provided. The smart controller includes a support unit protruding from the steering column in a first direction, a connection unit extending from the support unit in a second direction, and a manipulation unit mounted to the connection unit and disposed in a third direction. The manipulation unit includes a plurality of manipulators each configured to receive user input necessary to execute a specific function of a vehicle while mounted to the connection unit or being separated from the connection unit. The support unit protrudes in the X-axis direction, the connection unit extends in the Z-axis direction, and the manipulation unit is disposed in the Y-axis direction.

A vehicle includes a display configured to provide a user interface (UI); a touch input device including a concave region for detecting a touch, the concave region being divided into a plurality of subregions in accordance with the UI; a pressure detector configured to detect pressure; and a controller configured to control the display such that the UI is manipulated in accordance with a subregion in which the touch has been detected among the plurality of subregions when the pressure is detected by the pressure detector.

A camera monitoring system for a vehicle includes an interior rearview mirror assembly with a video display screen disposed behind the interior mirror reflective element. The video display screen is operable to display video images derived at least in part from image data captured by at least one video camera of a plurality of video cameras of the equipped vehicle. Image data captured by at least a driver-side viewing video camera and a passenger-side viewing video camera is provided to an image processor and is processed by the image processor to detect vehicles present exterior of the equipped vehicle. Responsive at least in part to detection of another vehicle, video images derived at least in part from image data captured by the driver-side viewing video camera, a rear viewing video camera and/or the passenger-side viewing video camera are displayed by the video display screen.

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to a vehicle for maneuvering a passenger to a destination autonomously. The vehicle includes one or more computing devices and a set of user input buttons for communicating requests to stop the vehicle and to initiate a trip to the destination with the one or more computing devices. The set of user input buttons consisting essentially of a dual-purpose button and an emergency stopping button different from the dual-purpose button configured to stop the vehicle. The dual-purpose button has a first purpose for communicating a request to initiate the trip to the destination and a second purpose for communicating a request to pull the vehicle over and stop the vehicle. The vehicle has no steering wheel and no user inputs for the steering, acceleration, and deceleration of the vehicle other than the set of user input buttons.

A touch-sensitive control device for a motor vehicle, with a control surface; a detection unit which is configured to detect a space-resolved deflection of the control surface; a control unit which is configured to distinguish a characteristic of a deflection of the control surface due to a force exerted on the control surface purely with at least one finger from a characteristic of a deflection of the control surface due to an acceleration acting on the entire control surface. On the basis of this, the force exerted on the control surface purely with the finger, as well as to trigger a function as a function of the determined force exerted purely with the finger is determined.

Provided are a vehicle control device for controlling one or more displays provided in a vehicle, and a vehicle including the same. The vehicle control device includes a communication unit performing communication with the one or more displays, and a processor controlling, when an event occurs, the one or more displays to display a home button corresponding to the event using the communication unit, wherein the home button is configured to display a preset icon list in response to a touch applied to the home button, and the preset icon list is varied according to the event.

The invention relates to a vehicle control panel (15) that comprises:at least one clickable key (20) to which is assigned at least one function, said key (20) being configured to move at least between an inactive position and an active position in which said function is activated;a screen (25) for displaying the current function of the key (20). The function is automatically assigned to the key (20) depending on a current parameter of the vehicle equipped with said control panel (15) or on a current context-related parameter.
