Abstract:
A haptic interface including: a button that can be rotated by a user; an interaction element for interaction with a magneto-rheological fluid, secured to the button; a mechanism for measuring a current position of the button; a brake including a magneto-rheological fluid and a system for generating a magnetic field in the fluid; a rotary electric motor including a shaft secured in rotation to the button; a control unit generating orders for the magnetic field generating system and for the motor; and a mechanism detecting the user's intention for action on the button, the control unit controlling generation of a magnetic field and/or the motor based on the information obtained on the detection mechanism.

Claim (Index 38):
A method for controlling a haptic interface according to  claim 20 , comprising:\n determining the speed of the element for interaction with the user from information provided by the sensor for measuring the current position on the element for interaction with the user; determining torque applied to the element for interaction with the user; determining a current position of the element for interaction with the user; if the speed is greater than a given speed, the direction of rotation is that given by the speed and the system for generating a stimulus is controlled to apply the recorded haptic pattern for the determined current position and for the determined direction of rotation; if the speed is less than a given speed and if the torque or the force is greater than a positive threshold value or less than a negative threshold value, the direction of movement of the element for interaction with the user is deduced from the determined torque or force, and the system for generating a stimulus is controlled to apply a stimulus according to the haptic pattern recorded for this current position and for the deduced direction of movement.
