A human-machine interface device that includes a touch-sensitive device having a touch-sensitive surface, a rotatable control knob axially movable between a high position, an intermediate position, and a low position, the control knob being electrically connected with the touch-sensitive surface permanently via a first contact element. The control knob is electrically connected with the touch-sensitive surface via a second contact element in the high position and the intermediate position but not in the low position, and the control knob is electrically connected to the touch-sensitive surface via a third contact element in the upper position but not in the intermediate position and the low position.

Human-machine interface device and vehicle comprising such a human-machine interface device

A trim panel intended to be arranged within the interior of a vehicle cabin, the trim panel having an appearance face intended to be visible to an occupant of the cabin, a reverse face provided with an interface for attachment of the trim panel to a support member, and at least one attachment bracket forming part of the attachment interface. The appearance face defines a tactile interaction area intended to serve as a control input for the occupant, and at least one sensor assembly is arranged on an attachment bracket, each sensor assembly being adapted to, when the trim panel is arranged inside a cabin, detect a deformation of its attachment bracket upon pressure exerted by an occupant on the trim panel on the tactile interaction area.

Vehicle trim panel with integrated deformation sensor

A control panel having: a trim element having a first outer face and a first inner face; a support element having a second outer face oriented towards the first inner face of the trim element and a second inner face opposite to said second outer face; and a group of force sensors configured for detecting a control force applied to the first outer face within a control area. The support element has, within a detection area extending around the group of control areas, a mechanical weakening formed by a recess in the second inner face.

Control panel intended to be arranged inside the passenger compartment of a vehicle and control assembly comprising the control panel

A method of producing a control panel for a vehicle. The method includes the following operations: a) producing a touch-sensitive film, the touch-sensitive film including a film, a conductive layer, a main decorative layer, and a secondary decorative layer, the conductive layer being arranged on an inner face of the film, the main decorative layer being arranged on an outer face of the film, and the secondary decorative layer having at least one critical deformation portion arranged on the inner face of the film in at least one corresponding critical deformation zone; b) shaping said touch-sensitive film, the touch-sensitive film being shaped in a non-developable three-dimensional manner in each critical deformation zone; and c) molding a layer of plastic material onto the main decorative layer.

Vehicle control panel and production method

A control system including a touch-sensitive surface and an actuator fixed to the touch-sensitive surface, the actuator having a control element rotatable relative to the touch-sensitive surface between at least two selection positions. The actuator has a first sensor element rotationally fixed to the control element and coupled to the touch-sensitive surface in all selection positions, and a second sensor element. The control element is translationally movable relative to the touch-sensitive surface between a selected position and a release position. The second sensor element is rotationally fixed to the element and uncoupled from the touch-sensitive surface in the selected position and coupled to the touch-sensitive surface in the release position.

Control system for a vehicle

A control system that includes a tactile surface and at least a control member fixed to the tactile surface and rotatable relative to the tactile surface around a first direction which is substantially perpendicular to the tactile surface between at least two selection positions. The control member includes at least a first sensor element integral in rotation with the control element, the first sensor element being coupled to the tactile surface in all selection positions of the control element. The first sensor element forms an interrupted ring defining at least one interruption area decoupled from the tactile surface on the control element.
