  • Patent number: 10509471
    Abstract: A control device for an automotive vehicle has a touch surface with a plate bearing a contact sensor that detects contact of a finger of a user, a haptic feedback module that vibrates the touch surface, which includes actuators positioned below the touch surface and linked to the plate of the touch surface, and a driver unit configured to drive the haptic feedback module to generate haptic feedback in response to a press on the touch surface. The haptic feedback is composed of a vibratory signal produced by control signals including one or more succession of pulses sent to the actuators, wherein each of the plurality of control signals generates one individual haptic pattern, a repetition of at least two identical individual haptic patterns, generated successively, and a period with no haptic feedback between two successive individual haptic patterns. A method of control of such a device is also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 10261587
    Abstract: A control device for automotive vehicle is disclosed. The control device includes a tactile surface to detect a contact of a finger of a user, a haptic feedback module configured to vibrate the tactile surface, and a drive unit configured to drive the haptic feedback module so as to generate a haptic feedback in response to a press on the tactile surface. The haptic feedback is composed of at least two individual haptic patterns which exhibit an identical trend and are generated successively, with a period of no haptic feedback intercalated between two successive individual haptic patterns, the energy of the individual haptic patterns varying with their repetition. A method of control of such a device is also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 10216315
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling a control device for a motor vehicle which comprises measuring the variation in the pressure by a user pressing on a touch-sensitive surface (2) and generating a haptic feedback, characterised in that the haptic feedback comprises at least one vibratory feedback when the variation in the pressing pressure (dp1, dp2, dp2?) over a predetermined time (dt1, dt2) is within a predefined range, and in that the haptic feedback is replaced with a replacement acoustic feedback when the variation in the pressing pressure (dp1, dp2, dp2?) over the predetermined time (dt1, dt2) leaves the predefined range.
