An adaptive operating device (1) has at least one operating area (2) with at least one manually operable operating element (3). At least one of the operating elements (3) is arranged on an operating module (4) formed as a cylinder (5) rotatably mounted in the operating area (2). The operating device (1) further includes a configuration device (6) which, by changing the rotational position of the operating module (4) and/or changing the functionality of the operating element (3), configures the at least one operating element (3) in such a way that a movement of the operating element (3) corresponds to an identical movement of an item of work equipment (9) which is attached when in use.

The present disclosure relates to an integrated control apparatus for an autonomous driving vehicle, in which operation for accelerating, braking, and steering of a vehicle is implemented through one integrated lever and buttons for starting and shifting of a vehicle are disposed on one case together with the integrated lever. Accordingly, the integrated control apparatus can be easily used for an autonomous driving vehicle.

A control apparatus and method using a knob are provided. The control apparatus includes an input unit configured to receive knob operation information, a memory configured to store a program for transmitting a vehicle function control command on the basis of the knob operation information, and a processor configured to execute the program, wherein the processor displays information about the vehicle function control command by using a knob.

A vehicle display device according to an embodiment of the disclosure includes a display that displays, as an image, functions for various pieces of vehicle operation information, a knob that is electrically interlocked with the display and selectively operates a corresponding function of the display according to left-right movement thereof, a guide rail that provides a movement path of the knob and divides a plurality of functional areas interlocked with the functions displayed on the display, and a guide part in which magnets having different polarities are alternately arranged in a lengthwise direction of the guide rail to automatically guide a location of the knob.

This application relates to a mechanical button apparatus that includes a body where an upper portion thereof is closed and a lower portion thereof is opened and a bottom plate attached on a display screen of a display apparatus to cover the opened lower portion. The body includes an aperture member including a wing set expanded or contracted in a rotation direction of the body. The body also includes a photovoltaic (PV) cell array substrate including a PV cell configured to generate power for charging a battery and an optical sensor configured to convert light signals, reflected by the expanded or contracted wing set, into electrical signals. The body further includes a circuit substrate configured to operate with the power charged into the battery, calculate number of rotation manipulations of the body by using the electrical signals, and transmit the calculated number of rotation manipulations to the display apparatus.

A display type switch for a vehicle includes a first display that displays one or more symbols related to functions of the vehicle and a second display that is connected to the first display and that controls the one or more symbols displayed on the first display.

A steering wheel-based HMI system for a vehicle includes a steer-by-wire system and a control module. The steer-by-wire system includes a steering wheel and a torque feedback unit mechanically connected to the steering wheel. The control module is communicatively connected to the torque feedback unit. The control module is configured to identify a communication, gather information about user securement of the steering wheel, and operate the torque feedback unit to apply a supplementary torque to the steering wheel for haptically issuing the communication through the steering wheel. The supplementary torque has a magnitude that is scaled based on the information about user securement of the steering wheel.

A display control system using a knob includes an input part to receive a touch input signal for a display area, a memory to store a display control program according to the touch input signal, and a processor to execute the program, such that the processor moves a position of a knob to perform function control of an area of the display to which the touch input signal is applied.

A working vehicle includes: a clutch displaceable to a connected state in which power is transmitted to a drive, a disconnected state in which the transmission is disconnected, and a half-clutch state in which power is slidably and partly transmitted to the drive; a detector that detects an operation position of a clutch pedal and outputs a detected value corresponding to the operation position detected; a control device that brings the clutch into the half-clutch state if the detected value corresponds with a threshold, and brings the clutch into the disconnected state if the detected value is less than the threshold and into the connected state if the detected value is greater than the threshold, and vice versa; and a change unit that changes the threshold to a different value in accordance with an operation on the operation member.

The invention relates to a rotary control device for a vehicle comprising a user interface surface, in particular a knob, that is embodied to rotate with respect to a housing of the device around a rotational axis of the device, further comprising a sensor unit for monitoring the orientation and/or rotational movement of the user interface surface with respect to the housing, a processing unit, and a communications interface for transmitting control signals according to an output from the processing unit, said output being generated by the processing unit on the basis of sensor data from the sensor unit.
