Title:
OPERATOR CONTROL DEVICE AND OPERATING METHOD
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/045780
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
An operator control device for the functional adjustment of a functional device comprises an operator control knob which has an off position in which the operator control device is deactivated. Said knob can be brought into a working position for functional adjustment purposes. The working position is predetermined by a lock-in position, and, starting from the working position, the operator control knob can be pulled out of the operator control device or pressed into the operator control device against a counterforce which increases as the distance from the working position increases. Here, the operator control device comprises a movement detection means for detecting the movement of the operator control knob out of the working position in one direction or in the other direction. The movement detection means is connected to a controller of the operator control device so as to carry out functional adjustment in a manner dependent on the detected movement.
