Abstract: At least one operator control element which can be moved by an operator is included in an operator control device. Furthermore, the operator control device includes an actuator with which activation of the operator control element can be communicated to the operator. The actuator includes a coil element and an armature which can move relative to the coil element. The armature is secured to the operator control element. The operator control device also includes an evaluation device with which a position of the armature relative to the coil element can be detected.

Abstract: A method produces a control element having a touch-enabled surface, in which a paste-like material is applied on a carrier plate. At least one raised structure element is formed by the paste-like material on the carrier plate. For this purpose, a stencil having inherent stiffness is arranged above the carrier plate and the paste-like material is pushed through at least one recess in the stencil.

Abstract: A surface structure of a glass panel is formed by deep-drawing the surface in the heated state of the glass panel to provide a touch-sensitive operating surface of an operating element for a motor vehicle. The surface structure has a wave-shaped design, and additionally at least one glass panel surface part which is completely touchable is formed with the surface structure.

Abstract: A transducer converts an actuation, applied to the transducer, into a raw actuation signal. The sensor device comprises an acceleration intermediary for converting an acceleration of the transducer into an actuation which is applied to the transducer, an underlying surface state detector for generating an underlying surface state signal by evaluating the raw actuation signal and an actuation signal generator for generating the actuation signal, processed in dependence on an underlying surface state, by evaluating the raw actuation signal taking into account the underlying surface state signal. Furthermore, the invention relates to a corresponding vehicle and to a corresponding method for generating an actuation signal which is processed in dependence on an underlying surface state.

Abstract: An operator control element system for a vehicle has an operator control element. The operator control element has a plurality of operator control areas and a region which faces an operator and a region which is located in a vehicle trim panel. The operator control element is distinguished in that it is mounted such that it can pivot about a rotation axis.

Abstract: The invention relates to a control element (10) for a motor vehicle, with an operating surface (14) for entering user instructions for a component of the motor vehicle, which comprises at least one surface structure element (20, 22) which can be felt by a user, wherein the operating surface (14) is formed from glass and the at least one surface structure element (20, 22) forms a single piece with the operating surface (14).
