Abstract: An input device for controlling a device is provided. The input device comprises a sensor surface sensitive to being touched by a foreign body, and an evaluation unit, which is equipped to sense the positions of successively touched points of the sensor surface, and convert them into a control command for the device. The evaluation unit is connected to means for estimating an acceleration acting on the sensor surface and equipped, when converting into the control command, to weight a point touched at a time of intense acceleration change lower than a point touched at a time of slight acceleration change.

Abstract: An input device is provided for a motor vehicle, which comprises a touch-sensitive surface designed to detect the touch of a finger in order to selectively provide one or more instruction types for a connected device, and a finger type recognition unit for recognizing a finger type of the finger detected by the touch-sensitive surface, as well as an instruction output unit for outputting at least one instruction type as a function of the detected finger type.

Abstract: An input device includes a sensor surface that is sensitive to a touch by a foreign body and a control unit. The control unit is configured to determine a first sensitive region of the sensor surface and, when the first sensitive region is touched by the foreign body, to supply a predetermined first detection signal. The control unit comprises means for estimating a direction of an acceleration change acting parallel to the sensor surface and is configured, under an effect of the acceleration change, to shift the first sensitive region at times in an active direction of the acceleration change.
