The present disclosure relates to an active haptic feedback device for a human machine interface, comprising a fixed part, a moveable part and a vibrating plate, wherein the fixed part comprises a coil winding on a bobbin and through which a coil core extends, which is fixed to a base plate; the moveable part comprises a ferromagnetic plate arranged between the coil core and the base plate, wherein the ferromagnetic plate has a resting state, when no current is applied to the coil winding, with a gap between the ferromagnetic plate and the coil core, and an activation state, when current is applied to the coil winding, with the gap being reduced due to a movement of the ferromagnetic plate away from the base plate and towards the coil core, and the vibrating plate is arranged on the side of the coil core opposite to the side of the ferromagnetic plate such that the coil core is extending at least partly between the vibrating plate and the ferromagnetic plate, wherein the vibrating plate is fixedly attached to the ferromagnetic plate and moveably attached to the base plate via spring means, wherein the spring means are configured to bring back the ferromagnetic plate to its resting position when no current is applied to the coil winding, from its activation position.

Active haptic feedback device, human machine interface and automotive part

An interaction element is configured to receive touch or gesture inputs or provide tactile feedback outputs. A control element is configured to control the operation of at least one function of at least one device including at least one or more such interaction elements. A motor vehicle includes at least one or more such interaction elements or at least one or more such control elements.

Interaction element, control element and motor vehicle

A vehicle includes one or more sensors arranged on at least one of a dashboard, a roof, and a center console of the vehicle, or one or more image capturing devices for capturing one or more images from a left side and a right side of the vehicle, an electronic control unit (ECU) configured to communicate with the one or more sensors or the one or more image capturing devices, and at least one of a morphing surface, a windshield display, and one or more displays configured to be controlled by the ECU, where the one or more sensors are arranged under a black panel surface.

Autonomous vehicles and methods of using same

A control element is used for a display unit, a system includes a control element and a display unit, a method of using the control element and a method for operating a display unit in conjunction with the control element are described.
