Abstract:
Apparatus and method for operating vehicles and other technical equipment by way of a haptic operating device having a rotating unit. Selectable menu items are displayed on a display unit, and a menu item being selected by rotating the rotating unit. The rotating unit latches at a number of haptically perceptible latching points during rotation. The number and rotational position of the haptically perceptible latching points is dynamically changed.

Claim (Index 12):
A haptic operating device, comprising:\n a basic body and a rotating unit; a display unit and a magnetorheological transmission apparatus with at least two components to be coupled to one another with a variable coupling intensity; a magnetorheological medium to be influenced by a magnetic field, said magnetorheological medium being disposed between said at least two components for influencing the coupling intensity between said at least two components; a magnetic field generation device for generating a magnetic field in order to influence said magnetorheological medium and influence the coupling intensity between said at least two components; said basic body being coupled to one of said at least two components and said rotating unit being coupled to another of said at least two components; and an actuation sensor for sensing an axial actuation travel disposed on one or both of said basic body or said rotating unit.
