A control interface with haptic feedback for a motor vehicle to take into account an action of a user by providing the user with a haptic feedback. The control unit includes a magnetorheological fluid module that has a rotary element which rotates about an axis of the magnetorheological fluid module, said rotary element being in contact with magnetorheological fluid and designed to be coupled to a grip element, and an application unit for applying a magnetic field to the magnetorheological fluid, designed to modify the strength of the magnetic field. The control interface also includes a control unit having a fixed tactile surface arranged at the centre of the grip element.

Control interface with haptic feedback using a magnetorheological fluid module

The present invention relates to a control interface () with haptic feedback, in particular for a motor vehicle, intended to take account of an action of a user by providing him with haptic feedback, comprising a magneto-rheological fluid module (), the said module () comprising: a rotary element () rotating about an axis (Z) of the module (), said rotary element () being in contact with the magneto-rheological fluid and intended to be coupled with a gripping element (), and a unit () for applying a magnetic field to the magneto-rheological fluid and configured so as to modify the intensity of said magnetic field.

Control interface with haptic feedback

The invention relates to a control interface with haptic feedback (), especially for a motor vehicle, designed to take into account an action of a user by providing the user with a haptic feedback, comprising a magnetorheological fluid module (), said module comprising:

A human-machine interface for a motor vehicle, comprising: &#x2014;a command device () comprising at least one sensor configured to detect a command without contact by the user, and &#x2014;a haptic feedback device () to control the consideration of said command, characterized in that &#x2014;the haptic feedback device engages with a component () in the motor vehicle passenger compartment, said component being distinct from the command device, &#x2014;said component being intended to come into contact with a part of in the body () of the user in order to perceive the haptic feedback signal.

Human-machine interface for a motor vehicle

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 () and generating a haptic feedback, characterised in that the haptic feedback comprises at least one vibratory feedback when the variation in the pressing pressure (dp, dp, dp) over a predetermined time (dt, dt) 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 (dp, dp, dp) over the predetermined time (dt, dt) leaves the predefined range.

Control device for a motor vehicle and control method

Touch control module () with haptic feedback destined to be mounted on a control panel () of a motor vehicle via at least two fixing lugs () and fixation means wherein the fixation means comprise screws () fastened to the control panel () perpendicular to the outer surface () of the control panel () for holding the touch control module () characterized in that silent blocks () are disposed between the fixing lugs () and the fixation means in that the fixation means comprise:&#x2014;spacers () for pre-loading longitudinally the silent blocks () and,&#x2014;retention means () for holding the spacers () in position on the screws ().

Touch control module

The invention relates to a device () for controlling a group of actuators () of a sensitive command surface with haptic feedback of a motor vehicle apparatus, said group of actuators including at least one first actuator and one second actuator, said control device comprising an electronic card () and a switching means () connected to the electronic card. The reception of touch information (S) by the electronic card leads to the selection of the first actuator by the switching means.

Control of actuators on a sensitive command surface with haptic feedback

The invention relates to a haptic feedback module to be built into a motor vehicle for a mobile device () having touch-sensitive surface (), characterized in that said haptic feedback module comprises at least one actuator () configured to transmit a movement to said mobile device (). The invention also relates to a control device for a motor vehicle which includes such a haptic feedback module.
