  • Publication number: 20240045462
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a human-machine interface, in particular for a vehicle or for a device, comprising at least one gripping element comprising at least one transducer transmitting a command depending on at least one item of input information. The human-machine interface comprises at least one sensor and calculation means configured to determine a position of at least one interaction surface for interaction between an operator and the gripping element, the calculation means also being configured to determine whether the command is intentional by determining whether at least one first predefined surface lies at least partially within the interaction surface, so as to authorise the transmission of the command by the human-machine interface when it is determined that the command is intentional.
