Abstract

A screen-based vehicle control system in which the control arrangement ( 1 ) consists of a screen ( 2 ) and at least one mechanical control unit ( 3 ). The mechanical control unit is disposed to project at least in part into the display field of the screen and may be implemented such that relative positions or scales of the control unit my be represented on the screen.

Claims (16)

1 . A screen-based vehicle control system, characterized by the fact that the control arrangement ( 1 ) consists of a screen ( 2 ) and at least one mechanical control unit ( 3 ).

2 . A screen-based vehicle control system according to claim 1 , characterized by the fact that the screen ( 2 ) is executed as a touch-sensitive screen.

3 . A screen-based vehicle control system according to claim 1 , characterized by the fact that at least one control element ( 3 ) is disposed such that it projects in part up into the variable display field ( 7 ) of the screen ( 2 ) and covers it to that extent.

4 . A screen-based vehicle control system according to claim 1 , characterized by the fact that the variable display field ( 7 ) of the screen ( 2 ) is executed such that a scale can be represented adjoining the control unit ( 3 ).

5 . A screen-based vehicle control system according to claim 3 , characterized by the fact that the variable display field ( 7 ) of the screen ( 2 ) is executed such that a scale can be represented adjoining the control unit ( 3 ).

6 . A screen-based vehicle control system according to claim 3 , characterized by the fact that at least one control element ( 3 ) is executed as twist controls.

7 . A screen-based vehicle control system according to claim 4 , characterized by the fact that at least one control element ( 3 ) is executed as twist controls.

8 . A screen-based vehicle control system according to claim 1 , characterized by the fact that at least one control element ( 3 ) is executed as push buttons ( 6 ).

9 . A screen-based vehicle control system according to claim 4 , characterized by the fact that at least one control element ( 3 ) is executed as push buttons ( 6 ).

10 . A screen-based vehicle control system according to claim 1 , characterized by the fact that a mechanical transfer element ( 9 ) is so designed that the control unit ( 3 ) acts upon it at the electromechanical unit ( 4 ).

11 . A screen-based vehicle control system according to claim 3 , characterized by the fact that a mechanical transfer element ( 9 ) is so designed that the control unit ( 3 ) acts upon it at the electromechanical unit ( 4 ).

12 . A screen-based vehicle control system according to claim 4 , characterized by the fact that a mechanical transfer element ( 9 ) is so designed that the control unit ( 3 ) acts upon it at the electromechanical unit ( 4 ).

13 . A screen-based vehicle control system according to claim 6 , characterized by the fact that a mechanical transfer element ( 9 ) is so designed that the control unit ( 3 ) acts upon it at the electromechanical unit ( 4 ).

14 . A screen-based vehicle control system according to claim 1 , characterized by the fact that at least one control element ( 3 ) is executed as a sensor unit ( 5 ) with a positioning unit ( 11 ) and an electromechanical unit ( 4 ).

15 . A screen-based vehicle control system according to claim 1 , characterized by the fact that the screen ( 2 ) and the control unit ( 3 ) are designed such that they are provided with proximity sensors and lighting units, and illumination results when coming up close.

16 . A screen-based vehicle control system according to claim 1 , characterized by the fact that the screen ( 2 ) is executed in such a way that two contacts, by the user and by a control unit projecting up above the screen ( 2 ), can be recorded independently of one another.
