Abstract
Operating gestures on a touch-sensitive input surface for controlling a display element are evaluated using characteristic data belonging to an operating gesture from a point in time tto a point in time tend. Control signals are continuously determined from the input positions comprised by the characteristic data of POS(t) to POS(tend) for controlling the display element on the display unit. Characteristic data belonging to the operating gesture is evaluated and the gesture classified regarding a degree of error by a pre-trained algorithm trained. If the degree of error lies below a predetermined threshold value, then the determined control signals are conveyed to the display unit. If the degree of error in a period of time from tto twith t<t<t≤tend lies above the predetermined threshold value, conveying of the control signals determined in the period of time from tto t'≤tis suspended.
