OPERATOR CONTROL APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR OPERATING AN OPERATOR CONTROL APPARATUS WITH IMPROVED APPROACH SENSING

摘要

the present invention the user and the at least one operator control element for capturing the input, at least one operator control element is accessible by a user of the operating elements, in particular the body part in the operator control element, before the touch It relates to an operator control unit and an operator control device operation comprising the approach detection device is designed to sense, approach detection device comprises at least one operator control element restricted detection zone spatially does not contain the entire volume in front of the 4 at least the at least one illumination element (22a to 22d) and at least one operator control element for emitting electromagnetic detection radiation (35) scattered by the user of the operating elements when access to a front of the operator control element into being and / or include a reflection light barrier comprising a receiver element (28) for detecting the portion of the reflection detected radiation (35), access detecting apparatus is designed to detect an approach based on the strength of the detected incoming radiation. ;
