A vehicle interior user input device with a movable part that supports linear displacement in two radial directions plus axial rotation, with direction-dependent haptic feedback.

Patentradars sammanfattning

Volvo Car Corporation discloses a user input device for vehicle interiors combining two distinct guiding mechanisms and a haptic feedback unit. A first guiding means restricts radial movement of a movable part to two orthogonal linear directions, while a second guiding means permits axial rotation around a displacement axis while constraining axial translation. The haptic feedback unit generates tactile responses to the user during rotation, with the character or type of feedback varying according to which radial displacement direction is currently active. This architecture enables intuitive multi-modal control input with context-sensitive tactile confirmation.
