Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A display and operating device for a motor vehicle includes a display area, and an operating element that is disposed on the display area. The operating element for detecting an operating action is movable on the display area within a region of movement. The operating element is movable in a translatory manner on the display area.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A display and operating device for a motor vehicle, comprising: a display area; and an operating element that is disposed on the display area, wherein the operating element configured to detect an operating action is movable on the display area within a region of movement, the operating element is movable in a translatory manner on the display area, the operating element on that side thereof that faces the display area has at least one marking, an identification unit of the display and operating device is adapted for identifying a position of the at least one marking on the display area, the operating element on that side thereof that faces the display area has at least one guide pin, wherein the display area and/or the operating element have/has at least one bore that is adapted to receive the at least one guide pin, and the region of movement of the translatory movement of the operating element is predefined by the shape of the at least one bore. 2. The display and operating device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the operating element is movable in a translatory manner substantially along a direction of main extent. 3. The display and operating device as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the operating element configured to detect a further operating action is movable in a rotary manner on the display area. 4. The display and operating device as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the operating element disposes of latching positions that are distributed across the region of movement. 5. The display and operating device as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the operating element is annular. 6. The display and operating device as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the operating element comprises at least two mutually contiguous or mutually engaging concentric annular elements. 7. An operating element for a display and operating device as claimed in claim 6 . 8. A motor vehicle having a display and operating device as claimed in claim 7 .
