OPERATING ELEMENT FOR ACTUATION BY A USER AND OPERATING ELEMENT MODULE
An operating element for actuation by a user includes, but is not limited to a movable element that can be actuated by a user and a sensor layer, which is situated below the movable element and implemented as a touchscreen, the sensor layer being implemented to establish an actuation of the movable element.
1 . An operating element for an actuation by a user, comprising:
a movable element configured for the actuation by the user; and
a sensor layer that is situated below the movable element and is implemented as a touchscreen, the sensor layer configured to establish the actuation of the movable element.
2 . The operating element according to claim 1 , wherein the sensor layer is a resistive touchscreen.
3 . The operating element according to claim 1 , wherein the sensor layer is a capacitive touchscreen.
4 . The operating element according to claim 3 , wherein the touchscreen comprises at least one pressure sensor.
5 . The operating element according to one of claim 2 , wherein the movable element has an area that exerts pressure on the sensor layer in an actuated state of the movable element.
6 . The operating element according to claim 3 , wherein the capacitive touchscreen comprises at least one proximity sensor.
7 . The operating element according to claim 6 , wherein the movable element comprises a trigger element configured to change a capacitance of a capacitor of the at least one proximity sensor.
8 . The operating element according to claim 1 , wherein the movable element is actuated by rotating.
9 . The operating element according to claim 1 , wherein the movable element is actuated by pressing.
10 . The operating element according to claim 1 , wherein the movable element is actuated by pulling.
11 . The operating element according to claim 1 , wherein the operating element is a volume controller of an audio system.
12 . The operating element according to claim 1 , wherein the operating element is a tuning button of an audio system.
