57AbstractABEin Verfahren zur Steuerung einer Vorrichtung eines Kraftfahrzeugs wird beschrieben. Dabei wird eine Bewegung mindestens eines Fingers auf einer Oberfläche eines Bedienelements (1), welches die Form einer Mulde (3) aufweist, erfasst. Abhängig von der erfassten Bewegung des mindestens einen Fingers wird insbesondere innerhalb einer zweidimensionalen Ebene (11, 12) navigiert, um dadurch die Vorrichtung zu steuern. Bei einem weiteren Verfahren wird ein erster Druck eines ersten Fingers und ein zweiter Druck eines zweiten Fingers auf einer Oberfläche eines Bedienelements (1, 2) jeweils in Form eines Druckrichtungsvektors erfasst, wobei abhängig von diesen beiden Druckrichtungsvektoren (21, 22) die Vorrichtung gesteuert wird. Darüber hinaus werden ein entsprechend ausgestaltetes Bedienelement (1, 2) eines Kraftfahrzeugs und eine entsprechende ausgestaltete Steuervorrichtung (7) eines Kraftfahrzeugs offenbart.
