Patent ID: 8352138

Claim:
A continuously variable transmission, comprising: a driven element; a first operator input device configured to transmit a first displacement signal corresponding to a displacement of the first operator input device; a second operator input device configured to transmit a second displacement signal corresponding to a displacement of the second operator input device; a third operator input device configured to transmit a transmission operating mode request; at least one sensor configured to sense at least one parameter indicative of an operating condition of the transmission; and a controller configured to: determine a driven element output request based on the operating request mode, the first displacement signal, the second displacement signal, and the at least one sensed parameter; regulate an output of the driven element in response to the operating mode request, the driven element output request, and the at least one sensed parameter; and generate a net displacement value based on the operating mode request and one of a plurality of relationships between the displacement of the first operator input device and the displacement of the second operator input device.
