HUMAN-MACHINE INTERFACE, IN PARTICULAR FOR A VEHICLE OR FOR A DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240045462 titled 'HUMAN-MACHINE INTERFACE, IN PARTICULAR FOR A VEHICLE OR FOR A DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The present disclosure is about a human-machine interface for a vehicle or device. It includes a gripping element with a transducer that transmits a command based on input information. The interface also has a sensor and calculation means to determine the position of an interaction surface between the operator and the gripping element. The calculation means can determine if the command is intentional by checking if a predefined surface lies partially within the interaction surface, allowing the transmission of the command if it is intentional.

  • The human-machine interface includes a gripping element with a transducer that sends commands based on input information.
  • It has a sensor and calculation means to determine the position of an interaction surface between the operator and the gripping element.
  • The calculation means can determine if the command is intentional by checking if a predefined surface lies partially within the interaction surface.
  • If the command is determined to be intentional, the human-machine interface authorizes the transmission of the command.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Vehicle control systems: This human-machine interface can be used in vehicles to control various functions such as steering, acceleration, and braking.
  • Industrial machinery: The interface can be implemented in industrial machinery to enable operators to control and interact with the equipment more efficiently.
  • Gaming consoles: This technology can be used in gaming consoles to provide a more immersive and intuitive gaming experience.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Accidental commands: The calculation means can determine if a command is intentional, reducing the chances of accidental commands being transmitted.
  • Improved control: The interface allows for precise control and interaction between the operator and the gripping element, enhancing the overall user experience.
  • Safety: By ensuring that commands are intentional, the interface helps prevent unintended actions that could lead to accidents or damage.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Enhanced user experience: The human-machine interface provides a more intuitive and natural way for operators to interact with vehicles or devices.
  • Improved safety: By verifying the intentionality of commands, the interface helps prevent potential accidents or damage caused by unintended actions.
  • Increased efficiency: The precise control and interaction offered by this technology can improve the efficiency and productivity of operators in various applications.


Original Abstract Submitted

the present disclosure relates to a human-machine interface, in particular for a vehicle or for a device, comprising at least one gripping element comprising at least one transducer transmitting a command depending on at least one item of input information. the human-machine interface comprises at least one sensor and calculation means configured to determine a position of at least one interaction surface for interaction between an operator and the gripping element, the calculation means also being configured to determine whether the command is intentional by determining whether at least one first predefined surface lies at least partially within the interaction surface, so as to authorise the transmission of the command by the human-machine interface when it is determined that the command is intentional.
