A method for processing a touch instruction, an electronic device and a storage medium, related to the fields of Internet of Things, intelligent transportation, and the like, are provided. The method includes: detecting a type of a received touch event; in a case where the type of the touch event is a predetermined type, acquiring a number of fingers which execute the touch event of the predetermined type each time; and determining a touch instruction by utilizing a change situation of the number of fingers which execute two adjacent touch events of the predetermined type. According to the solution, the number of fingers which execute the touch event can be determined by utilizing the change situation of the number of fingers corresponding to two adjacent touch events conforming to the predetermined type.

A vehicle interface system is disclosed. The system includes a conductive textile 100 and circuitry 408. The conductive textile 100 is configured to provide user input information, wherein the user input information is in response to contact with the conductive textile. The circuitry 408 is configured to analyze the user input information, identify a user input based on the user input information, and determine an associated command based on the identified user input

A mode of transportation, an infotainment system, and a device for operating an infotainment system of a mode of transportation having a finger strip extending in a linear or curved manner for haptically guiding a finger of a user, a detection unit for detecting swipe gestures carried out on the finger strip, an analyzing unit for processing detected swipe gestures, and a linear light outlet extending at least approximately completely along the finger strip. The device acknowledges a user gesture by a light signal emitted from the light outlet in response to a user gesture detected by the detection unit.

A vehicle may include a display displaying a character input user interface to select at least one character among a selected character type; a touch input sensor detecting a touch; and a controller changing the selected character type based on a distance between two touch positions detected at the same time.

A vehicle and a steering unit can improve safety. A vehicle includes a steering wheel and a touchpad disposed on the steering wheel. The vehicle enables control of a controlled apparatus by a gesture on the touchpad of the steering wheel upon detecting a predetermined pressure on the touchpad of the steering wheel and provides a tactile sensation from the touchpad in accordance with the gesture on the touchpad of the steering wheel.

A number of objects simultaneously touching a touch-sensitive operator control unit of an operator control apparatus are detected and a trigger position at which one of the number of objects detected touches the touch-sensitive operator control unit is determined. When more than one object touches the touch-sensitive operator control unit, a touch pressure with which the touch-sensitive operator control unit is acted on overall by the number of objects detected is compared to a predefined pressure threshold value. A function of the motor vehicle, assigned to the trigger position, is triggered if the touch pressure is higher than the predefined pressure threshold value. The predefined pressure threshold value is defined in a manner dependent on the number of objects detected.

An operating system for a motor vehicle includes: a display device for displaying an operating area, and an operating unit which has a sensor device for detecting the approach and the position of at least one finger of a user to the operating unit. In this case, if the sensor device detects that two or more fingers are undershooting a specifiable minimum distance from the operating unit and are carrying out a first specifiable motion, an additional operating area is displayed in addition or alternatively to the operating area.

A mode controller for a vehicle, a method therefor, and a vehicle system are provided. The mode controller includes a screen configuration device that configures a touch input screen on a touch screen and a controller that detects a pattern of a touch input which is input through the touch input screen. A determination device compares the detected pattern of the touch input with a plurality of patterns which are previously defined for each mode to determine whether there is a pattern identical to the pattern of the touch input. A mode execution device executes a function of a mode defined in response to the pattern identical to the pattern of the touch input.

In a driving support device, an image output unit outputs an image including a vehicle object representing a vehicle and a peripheral situation of the vehicle, to a display unit. An operation signal input unit receives a gesture operation by a user that involves moving of the vehicle object in the image displayed on the display unit. A command output unit outputs a command according to the gesture operation, to an automatic driving control unit that controls automatic driving.

Methods and systems for selecting an item on a vehicle touch screen are provided. In one embodiment, a method is provided that includes determining an initial touch position of an external touch position and an option selection control and an initial option selection of the option selection control corresponding to the initial touch position. The method may then include detecting a current touch position and a movement trajectory of the external touch operation and a focused option corresponding thereto. Upon detecting a termination of the external touch operation, a final disengagement location may be determined and a final selection may be determined based on the initial touch position, the final disengagement position, and the movement trajectory.
