Abstract: A method for navigating a focus element for highlighting menu items of a menu bar on a screen by a deflection of an actuation device on a remote control, comprising detecting a first control signal dependent on a degree of deflection of the actuation device and a second control signal dependent on an actuation force with which the actuation device is deflected; and shifting the focus element and menu items relative to each other depending on a comparison of the second control signal and a predetermined condition, if the first control signal is detected.

Abstract: The invention relates to a remote control (1, 48) comprising: a first data read-in device (24, 78) and a second data read-in device (24, 78) which are each designed to read in data in a pressure direction (20, 61) on the basis of a pressure exerted by a user, a first pressure take-up element (30) assigned to the first data read-in device (24, 78) and a second pressure take-up element (30, 85) assigned to the second data read-in device (24, 78), which elements each have a pressure take-up side (35, 89) for taking up the pressure applied by the user, and a pressure output side for outputting the pressure, which was taken up, to the respective data read-in device (24, 78); and a flexible printed circuit board (31, 86, 97) which connects the pressure take-up sides (35, 89) of the pressure take-up elements (30, 85) to each other and on which at least one capacitive measurement transducer (38, 39, 93, 94) is formed whose capacitance is dependent on the position of a finger of the user on the flexible printed circui

Abstract: A plastic housing for remote controls, the housing comprising a first housing part and a second housing part, wherein the first housing part has a joining surface facing the second housing part, and the second housing part has a joining surface facing the first housing part, wherein the two housing parts are assembled such that the joining surfaces rest against each other, and wherein the joining surfaces are in the form of mitred surfaces.

Abstract: The invention relates to a remote-control system (1) comprising: a pushbutton (8) that can be pressed by a user for inputting information in that the user applies a pressure in a direction (18); a sensor magnet (23) arranged on the underside of the pushbutton (8), when viewed in the pressure application direction (18); and an armature magnet (27) arranged below the pushbutton (8), when viewed in the pressure application direction (18), and fixed relative to the pushbutton (8), wherein the magnetic poles (39, 41) of the sensor magnet (23) and of the armature magnet (27) are arranged in such a way that the pushbutton (8) is pressed by the sensor magnet (23) away from the armature magnet (27), against the pressure application direction (18).

Abstract: A method for controlling a menu displayed on a screen from a number of menu elements arranged in a grid with an input interface containing a pushbutton with a number of haptically detectable segments arranged in the grid, wherein the number of menu elements corresponds to the number of haptically detectable segments so that a haptically detectable segment on the pushbutton is assigned to each menu element of the menu, comprising receiving a position signal that depends on the position of a user's finger on the pushbutton; highlighting the menu element assigned to the haptically detectable menu element located at the finger's position; and activating a function assigned to the highlighted menu element if the pushbutton is pressed.
