Abstract:
A household appliance for treating objects has a control device and an operating device being a touchscreen. First and second adjustable control variables are displayed as flat touch-sensitive operating elements that are separated from each other on the touchscreen on at least two screen displays of different hierarchy. First adjustable control variables are treatment programs and second control variables are program parameters associated with the treatment programs. First operating elements are displayed on a hierarchically higher screen display with a hierarchy and are associated with treatment programs which are selected by touching an associated operating element. Second operating elements are displayed on hierarchically lower screen display and enable the program parameters to be adjusted. The hierarchically lower screen display follows the hierarchically higher screen display if a first operating element is selected by touch. The second operating elements have elongated sensor elements for adjusting the associated parameter value by touch.

Claim (Index 30):
A method of operating a household appliance for treating objects,\n wherein the household appliance has a control facility and an operating facility configured as an external or internal touchscreen; wherein the control facility is configured to display first and second settable control variables of the household appliance as demarcated, flat, touch-sensitive operating elements on the touchscreen on at least two screen displays B 1 , B 2  of different hierarchy, wherein first settable control variables are treatment programs for the objects to be treated and second control variables are program parameters with changeable parameter values assigned to the treatment programs; wherein first operating elements assigned to treatment programs which are selected by touching an assigned first operating element are displayed on a hierarchically higher screen display B 1  with a hierarchy H 1  and second operating elements that allow a setting of the program parameters are displayed on at least one hierarchically lower screen display B 2  with a hierarchy H 2 <H 1 ; wherein the hierarchically higher screen display B 1  is followed indirectly or directly by the hierarchically lower screen display B 2  when a first operating element is selected by touching and at least a part of the second operating elements has elongated sensor elements, in the longitudinal direction of which an assigned parameter value changes continuously or non-continuously so that the parameter value can be set by touching the elongated sensor element; and wherein the control facility is designed in such a manner that touching a first operating element between the screen displays B 1  and B 2  results in a screen display B 3 , on which at least some of the program parameters and their unchangeable or changeable parameter values are displayed on third operating elements, wherein the screen display B 2  results directly or indirectly when a third operating element assigned to a changeable parameter value is touched and the control facility is also configured to allow the direct start of a treatment program on the screen display B 1 , in that a sub-region of a first operating element provided for this purpose is touched; and the method comprising: a) displaying the first screen display B 1 ; b) switching to display the second screen display B 2 , after a treatment program has been selected by touching a first operating element; c) modifying a treatment program stored in the control facility based on the program parameter and parameter value settings by touching second operating elements to define a modified treatment program; and d) performing the modified treatment program.
