  • INPUT DEVICE WITH VERIFICATION OF TOUCH OR ACTIVATION
    Publication number: 20170329450
    Abstract: An input device includes an input surface, at least one first detector which detects a touch and/or an activation of the input surface, a second detector which includes a detection range which covers the input surface, and an evaluation unit. The second detector detects a no-touch of the input surface. The evaluation device assigns a switching or control function to the at least one of the touch and the activation of the input surface upon the detection of the at least one of the touch and the activation by the first detector. The evaluation unit excludes the assignment of the switching or control function upon detecting the no-touch by the second detector.
