Claim 1:
2. The swipe gesture detection device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the evaluation unit is configured to detect a path of a finger over the surface element as a swipe gesture, wherein the evaluation unit uses the distances (d) registered by the sensor elements, which are recorded at different points in time, to determine a movement trajectory of a pressure of the finger on the surface element and/or wherein the swipe gesture is recognized as such if the path and/or the movement trajectory is longer than a predefined minimum path and/or to detect the swipe gesture if the finger was pressed with a force on the surface element which is greater than a minimum force, in particular wherein this minimum force is 3 to 10 N or wherein this minimum force is formed in such a way that, under an action of the spring at the affected sensor element, the distance (d) between the surface element and the housing element is reduced by 0.1 to 0.3 mm.
