    [0001] The present invention relates to a haptic feedback device for a motor vehicle generating a haptic feedback to a user in response to a contact on a capacitive interface. The invention also relates to a haptic feedback control method. In the automotive field, multifunction touch screen control panels 5 are increasingly used to control electrical or electronic systems, such as an air conditioning system, an audio system or a navigation system. Such interfaces can be associated with a display screen and allow navigation in drop-down menus. In order to restore information by mechanical feedback confirming to the user a contact on the touch screen, similar to the return of a mechanical system, the generation of a haptic feedback is provided as feedback to the user. The haptic feedback is generally obtained by the action of a vibratory actuator attached to the touch screen, controlled to vibrate the touch screen in response to contact with the surface. There are several types of touchscreens, the most common being resistive touchscreens and capacitive touchscreens. Unlike resistive touch panels, capacitive touch panels consist of elements that are configured to have a rigidity that does not deform when pressed. However, the capacitive touch panels do not detect the pressing force with which the user presses on the surface.
    [0002] This information may be useful in some cases to better interpret the user's commands. An object of the present invention is to provide a haptic feedback device with improved capacitive interface. To this end, the present invention relates to a haptic feedback device for a motor vehicle comprising: a mobile part comprising a capacitive interface comprising: at least one capacitive sensor for detecting at least one contact of a user on the surface of the capacitive interface, and a contact plate arranged on the capacitive sensor, and a fixed part intended to be fixed to the motor vehicle, characterized in that it further comprises: at least one displacement sensor without contact arranged between the fixed part and the mobile part, to measure a displacement of the mobile part relative to the fixed part, - at least one vibratory actuator suspended at the capacitive interface to vibrate the capacitive interface in response to a measured displacement of the moving part relative to the fixed part, and - at least one damping member interposed between the capacitive interface and the fixed part, for r elier the movable portion to the fixed portion and allow relative movement between the movable portion and the fixed portion, said relative movement comprising the vibration created by the vibratory actuator and the displacement of the movable portion relative to the fixed portion to be measured. Mounting on the capacitive interface of at least one suspended vibratory actuator and the arrangement of a displacement sensor without contact between the fixed part and the mobile part combined with the fact that at least one damping member is interposed between the mobile part and the fixed part, makes it possible to obtain a capacitive interface with haptic feedback mounted in a "floating" way. Thus, when the capacitive interface begins to vibrate, for example during a haptic feedback, the vibrations are not transmitted to the fixed part, or so attenuated. Likewise, this floating assembly alone makes it possible to implement both the measurement of the displacement of the mobile part with respect to the fixed part and the creation of the vibrations emitted during a haptic feedback while avoiding or attenuating the transmission. vibrations at the fixed part. The haptic feedback device may further comprise a haptic feedback unit connected to the non-contact displacement sensor and to the vibratory actuator, the haptic feedback unit being configured to control the vibratory actuator as a function of the displacement of the vibration actuator. Capacitive interface measured by the non-contact displacement sensor. Measuring the displacement of the moving part gives information on the pressing pressure exerted by the user on the capacitive interface, which makes it possible to control the haptic feedback as a function of this information. It is thus possible to parameterize the haptic feedback as a function of the pressing force exerted on the capacitive interface with a displacement sensor 30 without contact, thus without transmission of the vibrations of the mobile part to the fixed part. This representative measurement of the pressing force exerted, performed with a minimum displacement of the capacitive interface gives a good perceived quality of the device. According to one or more characteristics of the haptic feedback device, taken alone or in combination, the non-contact displacement sensor is configured to measure a displacement of the moving part with respect to the fixed part in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the contact plate, the haptic feedback unit is configured to drive the vibratory actuator to vibrate the capacitive interface in at least one direction of the plane of the contact plate and / or a direction perpendicular to the plane, the hardness of the damping member is between 20 and 70 shore A. This makes it possible to limit the displacement stroke of the mobile part with respect to the fixed part while ensuring the damping function of the vibrations. Indeed, it has been found that a depression that is not perceptible by a user allows the haptic feedback device to appear superior quality while ensuring vibration damping functions. the non-contact displacement sensor is a capacitive displacement sensor. The non-contact displacement sensor comprises at least one detection module carrying at least one capacitive antenna of the capacitive displacement sensor. the haptic feedback device comprises a plurality of bar-shaped detection modules, the long sides of which are arranged parallel to one another, each detection module carrying two capacitive antennas disposed on opposite ends of the detection module, a surface of the moving part or of the fixed part facing a capacitive antenna of the capacitive displacement sensor is metallized, the mobile part or the fixed part comprises at least one metallized pellet fixed opposite a capacitive antenna of the capacitive displacement sensor, the haptic feedback device comprises at least four damping elements arranged at the four corners of the capacitive interface and at least four non-contact displacement sensors, each non-contact displacement sensor being arranged close to an organ respective damper, - the capacitive interface further comprises a display screen arranged p s the capacitive sensor, - the capacitive sensor and the contact plate are transparent, - the display screen is fixed by gluing to the capacitive sensor. The invention also relates to a haptic feedback control method of a haptic feedback device for a motor vehicle as described above, characterized in that the vibratory actuator is driven to generate a haptic feedback in function of displacement of the capacitive interface measured by a displacement sensor without contact.
    [0003] The vibratory actuator can be driven to generate a haptic feedback when the measured displacement is greater than a trigger threshold. The programming of the haptic feedback as a function of trigger thresholds makes it possible in particular to differentiate the user's finger walk on the capacitive interface, the support intentionally made to activate or select a command for example. Inadvertent generations of haptic feedback that may occur in response to an involuntary grazing of the capacitive interface are also avoided.

    [0004] The following embodiments are examples. Although the description refers to one or more embodiments, this does not necessarily mean that each reference relates to the same embodiment, or that the features apply only to a single embodiment. Simple features of different embodiments can also be combined to provide other embodiments. We designate the horizontal plane (X, Y) and the vertical direction Z by the trihedron (X, Y, Z) shown in Figure 1, fixed relative to the haptic feedback device.
    [0005] DETAILED DESCRIPTION FIG. 1 represents an exemplary embodiment of a haptic feedback device 1 for a motor vehicle, for example arranged in a dashboard of the vehicle. The haptic feedback device 1 comprises a mobile part 2, a fixed part 3 intended to be fastened to the motor vehicle and at least one fixing and damping device 5 comprising a damping member 8 interposed between the mobile part 2 and the part fixed 3. The mobile part 2 comprises a capacitive interface 6 and at least one vibratory actuator 7 suspended at the capacitive interface 6, to vibrate the capacitive interface 6. The vibratory actuator 7 is only fixed to the capacitive interface 6 to which it is held 15 for example by being fixed to a contact plate 13 of the capacitive interface 6, directly or indirectly via intermediate support elements. The mobile part 2 comprising the vibratory actuator 7, the capacitive sensor 9 and the contact plate 13, is connected to the fixed part 3 by means of the at least one damping member 8 by a "floating" assembly. In the floating assembly, the vibratory actuator 7 is not fixed to the fixed part 3 as opposed to an "attached" assembly in which it would have been secured to the frame of the fixed part. The vibration can be directed in the plane of the capacitive interface 6 (horizontal plane (X, Y) with reference to the position of the device 1 in FIG. 1) or orthogonal to the plane of the capacitive interface 6 (in the vertical direction Z in Figure 1), or directed in a combination of two or three directions X, Y, Z.
    [0006] The capacitive interface 6 comprises at least one capacitive sensor 9. The capacitive sensor 9 can for example detect a contact or a movement of the finger of a user on the tactile surface of the capacitive interface 6, such as a support or a movement of his finger or any other activation means (for example a stylus). For this, the capacitive sensor 9 comprises for example an array of electrodes extending over all or part of a support having a flat surface, for example of rectangular and rigid shape. According to another example, the capacitive sensor comprises a localized capacitive antenna, for example arranged on an electronic card, such as a PCB for "Printed circuit board" 3033201 -6- in English. The electronic card for example carries one or more capacitive sensors arranged in different locations on the surface of the electronic card. The capacitive interface 6 further comprises a contact plate 13, rigid, such as a glass or plastic plate, for example with a thickness greater than 0.5 millimeters, arranged on the capacitive sensor 9 and allowing provide the desired rigidity to the capacitive interface 6. The touch surface of the capacitive interface 6 is thus formed by the surface of the contact plate 13. In the first embodiment of the haptic feedback device 1 visible in Figure 2 the contact plate 13 may be painted in an opaque color so as to hide the elements arranged behind. The capacitive interface 6 can then form what is called a touchpad or "touchpad" in English or a push button or "push" in English. In general, a contact on the capacitive interface 6 allows in particular a user to select or activate a function, such as a function of the air conditioning system, navigation, car radio or scrolling and selection of a choice from a list, such as a telephone list. The vibration of the capacitive interface 6 makes it possible to provide a haptic feedback to the user in response to a contact, such as a support or a movement of his finger. The return is said "haptic" because it is perceptible by the touch of the capacitive interface 6.
    [0007] The vibratory actuator 7 is for example ERM type (for "Eccentric Rotating-Mass" in English) also called "vibrating motor" or motor feeder. In another example, the vibratory actuator 7 is of the electromagnetic type. It relies for example on a technology similar to that of the speaker (in English: "Voice-Coil"). The vibratory actuator 7 is for example an LRA (for "Linear Resonant Actuator" in English), also called "linear motor". The moving part is for example formed by a movable magnet sliding inside a fixed coil or by a movable coil sliding around a fixed magnet, the movable part and the fixed part cooperating by electromagnetic effect. In another example, the vibratory actuator 7 is of piezoelectric type. In addition to the floating mounting of the mobile part 2, the damping member 8 makes it possible, on the one hand, to damp the vibrations of the mobile part 2 generated by the vibratory actuator 7 by isolating the mobile part 2 from the fixed part 3 and allows on the other hand, to limit the displacement Z of the movable portion 2 to the fixed portion 3. For this, the damping member 8 comprises a flexible element such as a silicone pad, 3033201 -7- elastomer or rubber, working in compression. The hardness of the damping member 8 is preferably between 20 and 70 shore A, such as 30 shA on average, which makes it possible to compress the damping member 8 over a distance of the order of 0.2 millimeters for a support force P of 2.5N. This limits the displacement path of the movable part 2 relative to the fixed part 3, that is to say the displacement of the moving part 2 (in the vertical direction Z in FIG. 1). Indeed, it has been found that a displacement as low as possible is associated with a device of good quality by the user and that a perceptible displacement is associated with a low quality device. A depression which is not perceptible by a user therefore makes it possible for the haptic feedback device 1 to appear of superior quality while ensuring the vibration damping functions. The diameter of the cylindrical stud of the damping member 8 is for example between 6 and 10 millimeters. The damping member 8 interposed between the movable part 2 and the fixed part 3 can be fixed, for example by gluing, on the one hand, to the movable part 2, for example to the contact plate 13, directly or indirectly via intermediate support elements, and secondly, to the fixed part 3. According to another embodiment, the fixing and damping device 5, also called "silentbloc", also comprises a fixing member 11 for fix the moving part 2 to the fixed part 3 through the damping member 8. The fixing member 11, such as a screw, makes it possible to fix the mobile part 2 to the fixed part 3 through the damping member 8. The fastener 11 serves to keep the moving part 2 in a precise position and ensures the mechanical strength of the movable part 2. The fastener 11 is fixed to the fixed part 3 and isolated from the movable part 2 by the damping member 8 as shown in FIG. which the end of the rod 12b of the fastener 11 is inserted into the fixed part 3. Conversely, the fastener 11 can be fixed to the movable part 2 and isolated from the fixed part 3 by the damping member 8, the end of the rod 12b of the fixing member 11 then being inserted into the movable part 2 (not shown). The pad of the damping member 8 comprises for example a first portion 30 interposed between the movable portion 2 and the fixed portion 3, a second portion interposed between the movable portion 2 and the head 12a of the fastener 11 and a groove the damping member 8 is for example made in one piece and has an axial central hole for the passage of the rod 12b of the fixing member 11. It may also be possible to use the damping member 8. 8- provide that the damping member 8 overmolding the fixing member 11. For example, the haptic feedback device 1 comprises four fixing and damping devices 5 arranged at the four corners of the capacitive interface 6 as one schematically represented in FIG.
    [0008] The haptic feedback device 1 further comprises at least one non-contact displacement sensor 15 and a haptic feedback unit 16 connected to the non-contact displacement sensor 15 and to the vibration actuator 7 (FIG. 2). The non-contact displacement sensor 15 is arranged between the fixed part 3 and the moving part 2, to measure the displacement of the movable part 2 with respect to the fixed part 3, in the direction perpendicular to the plane of the capacitive interface 6 , that is to say in the vertical direction Z in the figures. The non-contact displacement sensor 15 may be fixed to the fixed part 3 opposite the mobile part 2 or fixed to the mobile part 2 opposite the fixed part 3. The damping member 8 interposed between the capacitive interface 6 and the fixed part 3 connects the movable part 2 to the fixed part 3 by allowing a relative movement between the movable part 2 and the fixed part 3. The relative movement comprises the vibration created by the vibratory actuator 7 and the displacement of the movable portion 2 relative to the fixed portion 3 to be measured. Mounting on the capacitive interface 6 of at least one vibratory actuator 7 suspended and the arrangement of a displacement sensor without contact 15 between the fixed part 3 and the movable part 2 combined with the fact that at least one body damping 8 is interposed between the movable portion 3 and the fixed portion 3, provides a capacitive interface 6 haptic feedback mounted "floating". Thus, when the capacitive interface 6 begins to vibrate, for example during a haptic feedback, the vibrations are not transmitted to the fixed part 3, or so attenuated. Likewise, this floating assembly alone makes it possible to implement both the measurement of the displacement of the mobile part 2 with respect to the fixed part 3 and the creation of the vibrations emitted during haptic feedback while avoiding or attenuating the transmission of the vibrations to the fixed part 3. The haptic feedback unit 16, such as a microprocessor or a microcontroller, is configured to drive the vibratory actuator 7 so as to vibrate the capacitive interface 6 as a function of the displacement of the capacitive interface 6 measured by the non-contact displacement sensor 15. The measurement of the displacement of the moving part 2 in depression, that is to say in the vertical direction Z in FIG. 1, gives information on the pressing pressure exerted by the user on the capacitive interface 6, which allows to control the haptic feedback relative to this information. It is thus possible to parameterize the haptic feedback as a function of the pressing force exerted on the capacitive interface 6 with a non-contact displacement sensor 15, thus without transmission of the vibrations of the mobile part 2 to the fixed part 3.
    [0009] A haptic feedback can be generated in response to the detected support, for example when the duration and strength of the support cross a respective threshold while the user's finger is still in contact or when the displacement measurement indicates that the user is releasing his finger from the capacitive interface 6, this determination being able to be performed by measuring a decrease in the pressing force exerted on the capacitive interface 6.
    [0010] It should be noted that the vibration of the capacitive interface 6 does not disturb the measurement of the displacement thereof. Firstly because the generation of the vibration of the capacitive interface 6 is subsequent to the acquisition of the measurement of the displacement of the capacitive interface 6. Then, because the vibration of the capacitive interface 6 is not necessarily and only directed in the vertical direction Z of the measured displacement but can also be directed in the plane (X, Y) of the capacitive interface 6, and thus with little effect of the vibrations in the vertical direction Z of the measurement of displacement. Furthermore, the vibration is emitted for a very short time, such as less than 200 milliseconds, which has little impact on the measurement of the displacement that can be performed continuously. Finally, it is also possible to configure the haptic feedback unit 16 to differentiate the measurement from the displacement of the vibrations of the capacitive interface 6 or to determine an average displacement, to be compared according to whether the capacitive interface 6 vibrates or not. , with average displacement thresholds with or without vibrations. More precisely, the haptic feedback unit 16 can for example define the shape (or shape), the frequency, the phase shift, the amplitude of the acceleration, the duration of the vibration for example in relation to the displacement of the moving part 2 and therefore relative to the user's pressing force. This dependence is for example a proportional relation or a mathematical law or can be predefined in a correspondence table previously stored in the memory of the haptic return unit 16. It is also possible, for example, for the haptic feedback unit 16 to be configured to drive the vibratory actuator 7 to generate a haptic feedback only when the measured displacement is greater than a trigger threshold. The programming of the haptic feedback according to trigger thresholds makes it possible in particular to differentiate the user's finger walk on the capacitive interface 6 from the support intentionally made to activate or select a command for example. Unwanted generations of haptic feedback that may occur by unintentional contact with the capacitive interface 6 are also avoided. For example, the haptic feedback device 1 is provided with as many, more or less non-contact displacement sensors 15 as there are devices. 5. For example, it is provided that the haptic feedback device 1 comprises four non-contact displacement sensors 15, for example arranged in the vicinity of a respective fixing and damping device. The four non-contact displacement sensors 15 are, for example, arranged on the diagonals of the capacitive interface 6 (FIG. 3). Each non-contact displacement sensor 15 will thus give information on the displacement of the capacitive interface 6. By arranging the non-contact displacement sensors 15 as close as possible to the fixing and damping devices 5, it is possible to obtain an accurate mapping of the displacement of the capacitive interface 6.
    [0011] According to another exemplary embodiment, the haptic feedback device 1 comprises a single non-contact displacement sensor 15 arranged on the fixed part 3, opposite a central zone of the mobile part 2 (FIG. 2) or on a zone central mobile part 2 facing the fixed part 3 (Figure 6). The non-contact displacement sensor 15 is for example a capacitive displacement sensor 20. Since the displacement travel of the mobile part 2 limited by the fixing and damping devices 5 can be very small, the displacements of the mobile part 2 can be measured by a capacitive technology. The capacitive displacement sensor uses the capacitive effect to detect a variation of distances.
    [0012] According to an exemplary embodiment, the capacitive displacement sensor is produced by a disk-shaped electrode called a "capacitive antenna". Capacitive antenna 17 forms a capacitor with a remotely located conductive target element. Thus, when the conductive target element approaches the capacitive antenna 17 fed, the capacity of the air located between the capacitive antenna 17 and the conductive target element is modified.
    [0013] According to a first example which can be seen more clearly in FIGS. 3 and 4, the capacitive displacement sensor comprises one or more detection modules 4, for example fixed to the fixed part 3. The detection module 4 comprises an elongated electronic card 10 in the form of a sensor. bar, carrying for example two capacitive antennas 17, arranged on opposite ends of the electronic card 10. One or more holes 18 are formed in the electronic card 10 for the passage of fixing screws 19 (Figure 1) allowing In FIGS. 1 and 4, the supply and output connection wires 20 of the capacitive displacement sensor are also distinguished. The haptic feedback device 1 may thus comprise a plurality of detection modules 4, as shown in FIG. 3, the long sides of which are arranged parallel to one another, so as to modulate the number of detection modules 4 function of the dimensions of the moving part 2.
    [0014] According to another exemplary embodiment, the capacitive displacement sensor comprising the capacitive antennas 17 and the associated connectors, is produced by a flexible printed circuit ("flexible printed circuit" in English). The flexible printed circuit can be glued to the fixed part 3 or mobile 2. According to another exemplary embodiment, the capacitive displacement sensor comprising the capacitive antennas 17 and the associated connectors is directly printed on the fixed part 3 or mobile part 2 for example by means of the MID (Molded Interconnection Device) method. The MID method is a technique for metallizing electrical connections directly on the fixed part 3 or mobile 2 made of plastic material. It is furthermore provided that a surface of the movable part 2 or the fixed part 3 facing a capacitive antenna 17 of the capacitive displacement sensor is metallized. For example, the rear face 21 of the capacitive interface 6, that is to say the opposite face of the capacitive sensor 9, is at least partially metallized at least opposite the capacitive antenna 17 so as to form the conductive target element of the capacitive displacement sensor.
    [0015] For example, the entire rear face 21 of the capacitive sensor 9 of the capacitive interface 6 comprises a metal coating, such as an aluminum coating. According to another example, the mobile part 2 comprises at least one metallized chip 22 fixed for example by bonding, on the rear face 21 of the capacitive sensor 9 of the capacitive interface 6 at least opposite the capacitive antenna 17 of the sensor. capacitive displacement. In operation, the user moves or presses his finger on the contact plate 13 of the capacitive interface 6 for example to select or activate a function (arrow P in Figure 1). The capacitive sensor 9 of the capacitive interface 6 detects this contact and determines for example its position in X, Y to execute the corresponding command. Simultaneously, the moving part 2 moves substantially in depression in the direction Z. This displacement of the movable part 2 towards the fixed part 3 depends on the force with which the user presses on the capacitive interface 6. It is measured by the non-contact displacement sensor 15 arranged opposite the moving part 2. The haptic feedback unit 16 connected to the non-contact displacement sensor 15 and to the vibratory actuator 7, then drives the vibratory actuator 7 in order to vibrate the capacitive interface 6 for example only in the case where the measured displacement is greater than a trigger threshold. The generated vibration provides a haptic feedback to the user perceptible by his finger in contact with the capacitive interface 6. The frequency and / or acceleration of the generated vibration can also for example be modulated according to the measured displacement and therefore depending on the user pressing pressure on the capacitive interface 6.
    [0016] It will be understood that with the haptic feedback device 1, it is possible to parameterize the haptic feedback as a function of the pressing force P exerted on the capacitive interface 6 so that it is better representative of the intention of the user. This representative measurement of the pressing force P exerted on the capacitive interface 6 made with an extremely low displacement of the capacitive interface 6 increases the perceived quality of the haptic feedback device 1. In addition, the displacement sensor without contact 15 provides access to the information of the pressing force exerted on the capacitive interface 6 without transmitting the vibrations of the movable part 2 to the fixed part 3. FIG. 5 represents a second exemplary embodiment of the return device haptic 1.
    [0017] In this embodiment, the capacitive interface 6 comprises a display screen 23, such as a TFT ("Thin-Film Transistor") screen, arranged under the capacitive sensor 9 of the capacitive interface 6 of FIG. to form a touch screen ("touchscreen" in English). The display screen 23 is for example fixed by bonding to the back of a support of the at least one capacitive sensor 9 detecting a contact of a user on the front panel.
    [0018] The capacitive interface 6, i.e. the at least one capacitive sensor 9 and the contact plate 13, are then transparent. The moving part 2 then comprises the vibratory actuator 7, the display screen 23, the capacitive sensor 9 and the contact plate 13, which is thus connected to the fixed part 3 through the at least one damping member 8 by a floating mount. The non-contact displacement sensor 15 comprises, for example, one or more capacitive antennas carried by an electronic card fixed to the fixed part 3. It is furthermore provided that the capacitive interface 6, for example the rear face of the capacitive sensor 9 whose front face detects a contact of the user, at least partially metallized facing the capacitive antenna 17 of the non-contact displacement sensor 15, so as to form the conductive target element of the capacitive displacement sensor. The first and second embodiments of FIGS. 1, 2 and 5 illustrate a non-contact displacement sensor 15 fixed to the fixed part 3 opposite the mobile part 2. This is more practical since it makes it possible to avoid having to connect a non-contact displacement sensor 15 to the movable part 2. It is also possible to fix the displacement sensor without contact 15 to the mobile part 2 opposite the fixed part 3. Thus, according to a third embodiment represented in FIG. 6, a support of the mobile part 2 comprises at least one capacitive sensor 9 on the front face and at least one non-contact displacement sensor 15 of the capacitive type on the rear face. It is furthermore provided that the upper face of the fixed part 3 is at least partially metallized at least opposite the capacitive displacement sensor 15 so as to form the conductive target element of the capacitive displacement sensor 15. This embodiment is particularly interesting for a type of realization "TouchPad" for which the capacitive sensor 9 of the capacitive interface 6 already comprises an electronic card. The electronic card is then the common support for the capacitive sensors 9 of the capacitive interface 6 and the non-contact displacement sensor (s) 15.
