Abstract: A motor vehicle comprising at least one seating device, in particular a driver's seat, a control device for controlling at least one function of the motor vehicle and an operating device having at least one operator control device for operating the control device on the part of the user, wherein the at least one operator control device is supported on a bearing or mounting device which is designed to change the position of the operator control device as a function of a seat position.

Abstract: An operator control device for a vehicle may have a rotatable base body, an electronic unit, and a rotary unit. The rotatable base body may have a first operator control section for setting at least one first vehicle function which is assigned to the first operator control section, and a second operator control section for setting at least one second vehicle function which is assigned to the second operator control section. The electronic unit may be designed to make available a first contact signal which represents manual contact with or approaching of the first operator control section, and a second contact signal which represents manual contact with or approaching of the second operator control section. The rotary unit may permit a rotational movement of the base body.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: An operating device for a vehicle has a handle and an actuator device that comprises a magnetorheological medium, which is coupled to the handle and is designed to exert a setting force on the handle that is dependent on a viscosity of the magnetorheological medium.

Abstract: A method for setting a drive stage in a vehicle transmission may include an input step and an output step. A first input signal, representing a first axial wiping movement over a first input region, is input in the input step. A second input signal, representing a second axial wiping movement over a second input region, parallel to the first axial wiping movement, is also input. The first wiping movement and the second wiping movement are at least partially simultaneous. A shifting signal for setting a selected drive stage is output in the output step, based on the first input signal and the second input signal. A first path of the first axial wiping movement and a second path of the second axial wiping movement determine the selected drive stage.

Abstract: A method for moving at least part of a manually operable operating device for operating a function of a vehicle is described. The operating device comprises an operating element and a cover element for covering the operating element. The method comprises at least an input step and an output step. A driving operating state signal is input in the input step that represents a selected driving operating state of the vehicle in a driving mode of the vehicle. A movement signal is output in the output step that is configured to cause a movement of the operating element or the cover element, depending on the input driving operating state signal.

Abstract: An operating device for a shift by wire assembly in an automobile may include a touch sensitive display for selecting an operation mode of a transmission of the automobile and a haptic guide element configured to guide a touch gesture of an operator corresponding to the selection of the operation mode. The touch sensitive display may be configured to display an image, the image being a graphical, interactive user-interface object that can be moved with the touch gesture of the operator into a predetermined area of the touch sensitive display for selecting the operation mode. The haptic guide element may include at least one selection path along which the image can be moved.

Abstract: The present approach to the problem addressed by the invention relates to an operating device (100) for selecting at least one gear setting of a vehicle. The operating device (100) has at least one sensor (105) that has at least one touch-sensitive region and a deformable surface (110), which is configured to form at least one haptic operating element with the sensor (105) in a deformed state (115). The haptic operating element (120) is configured to output a selection signal for selecting the gear setting in response to touching the touch-sensitive region.

Abstract: The invention relates to an operating device for a shift by wire assembly in an auto-mobile comprising a touch sensitive display for selecting an operation mode of an automatic and/or automatized transmission of the automobile, wherein the touch sensitive display is configured to detect a touch gesture of an operator corresponding to the selection of the operation mode in a selection operating state of the touch sensitive display, wherein in a preselection operating state of the touch sensitive display, the touch sensitive display is configured to detect a touch gesture of an operator for initializing the selection operating state.
