    摘要: The invention relates to an operating unit (10) for an electrical apparatus, in particular for a vehicle component such as, for example, a heating, ventilation and/or air conditioning installation, which is provided with a housing (12), an operating strip (18) and a support element (32) for the operating strip (18), which is arranged in the housing (12). The operating strip (18) is mounted on the support element (32) about a tilt axis that extends transversely to the longitudinal extension of the operating strip (18). The support element (32) is tiltable in at least one pivoting direction and about a pivot axis (34) that extends parallel to the longitudinal extension of the operating strip (18) from a rest position, in which the support element (32) is elastically prestressed, into a pivot position, which is detected by a pivot position sensor (42, 44). Two tilt detection sensors (52, 54) detect a tilting of the operating strip (18) about the tilt axis when the operating strip (18) is actuated by manually pressing against an operating panel (22, 24, 26, 28, 30) of the operating strip (18). Finally, the operating unit (10) is provided with an evaluation and operating unit for receiving the signals of the pivot position sensor (42, 44) and the tilt detection sensors (52, 54) and for determining, on the basis of the signals emitted by the tilt detection sensors (52, 54), the operating field (22, 24, 26, 28, 30) on which, upon manual actuation of the operating strip (18), the finger of one hand is applied with an actuating force required for adopting the pivot position of the support element (32) and for triggering the apparatus function that is associated with the determined operating field (22, 24, 26, 28, 30).

    摘要: An in-vehicle display apparatus includes a control unit for executing a selected application feature for controlling a control object device. The selected application feature may be one of a plurality of application features that is selected by a driver by using switches on a portion of a vehicle steering wheel. The in-vehicle display apparatus displays output contents of the application feature in a main display area together with vehicle information. When no operation is performed for controlling the application feature for a predetermined period of time, or when the driver selects an other application feature, the control unit executes the application feature that is currently running in a background, treating it as a background (BG) application feature, and displays a BG icon for a BG application feature associated switch that is operable for an operation of the BG application feature that is currently running in the background.
