Abstract

The method involves combining the symbols of programs to a multi-functional symbol (7) in a sectional manner, where the programs are combined with each other in the practice in a frequent manner. The multi-functional symbol contains all visually represented portions (4,5,6) of the used individual symbols (1,2,3). An interactive liquid-crystal display is provided for selecting a program combination of the contact of a surface section, at which the multi-functional symbol is displayed.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Vereinfachen der Bedienungsstruktur von programmgesteuerten Hausgeräten, bei denen zum Anzeigen und/oder zum Wählen von Programmabschnitten Symbole verwendet werden, die in der betreffenden Branche für die Bezeichnung von Programmabschnitten als notorisch bekannt sind.The invention relates to a method for simplifying the operating structure of program-controlled domestic appliances, in which symbols are used for displaying and / or selecting program sections, which are known to be notorious in the relevant industry for the designation of program sections.

Die Verwendung von Symbolen für einen Programmablauf oder einen Abschnitt eines Programmablaufs ist notorisch. So werden beispielsweise für die Behandlung von Wäsche Einzelsymbole gemäß Zeichnung verwendet. Die in der Zeichnung dargestellten Symbole betreffen Programmparameter bzw. -abschnitte wie Vorwäsche, Waschen, Spülen, Waschen bei 30°C, Behandeln von Baumwollwäsche. Auf weitere notorische Einzelsymbole der Haushaltwasch- oder -trockentechnik wird hier nicht näher eingegangen ohne auf ihre Verwendung im Rahmen der Erfindung verzichten zu wollen.The use of symbols for a program flow or a portion of a program flow is notorious. For example, for the treatment of laundry, individual symbols are used according to the drawing. The symbols shown in the drawing relate to program parameters or sections such as prewash, washing, rinsing, washing at 30 ° C, treating cotton laundry. Further notorious individual symbols of household washing or drying technology will not be discussed in detail here without wishing to forego their use within the scope of the invention.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die wenig übersichtliche Vielzahl von Einzelsymbolen zu reduzieren und damit außerdem LCD- oder LED-Displays räumlich zu entlasten. Wenige Symbole können außerdem größer und damit deutlicher erkennbar dargestellt werden.The invention has for its object to reduce the unclear variety of individual symbols and thus also relieve LCD or LED displays spatially. Few symbols can also be displayed larger and therefore more clearly recognizable.

Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe durch die Merkmale des Anspruches 1 in der Weise gelöst, dass Symbole von in der Praxis häufig miteinander kombinierten Programmabschnitten zu einem jeweiligen Multifunktionssymbol zusammengefasst werden. Durch die Zusammenfassung von einigen Symbolen lassen sich Multifunktionssymbole mit noch überschaubarem Inhalt erzeugen, die als einzeln oder in der Nachbarschaft mit wenigen anderen Multifunktionssymbolen übersichtlich und raumsparend auf LED- oder LCD-Displays darstellen. According to the invention, this object is achieved by the features of claim 1 in such a way that symbols often combined in practice with each other Program sections are summarized to a respective multi-function symbol. By combining some symbols, you can create multifunctional symbols with even more manageable content, which can be displayed as individual or in the neighborhood with a few other multifunctional symbols in a clear and space-saving manner on LED or LCD displays.

In einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausprägung des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens enthält das Multifunktionssymbol alle bildlich dargestellten Anteile der verwendeten Einzelsymbole. Dadurch sind die Inhalte der Einzelsymbole sehr leicht wiederzuerkennen und auf den Inhalt des Multifunktionssymbol übertragbar.In a particularly advantageous embodiment of the method according to the invention, the multifunction symbol contains all of the parts of the individual symbols used. As a result, the contents of the individual symbols are very easy to recognize and transferable to the content of the multifunction symbol.

Besonders vorteilhaft ist eine Weiterbildung des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens, bei der zum Wählen einer Programmkombination das Berühren eines Flächenabschnitts eines interaktiven LCD-Displays genügt, an dem das Multifunktionssymbol angezeigt wird. Auf diese Weise können Bedienungsfelder von programmgesteuerten Hausgeräten in einer für den Benutzer besonders einfach zu handhabenden Bedienungsabfolge genutzt werden, bei denen mehrere Multifunktionssymbole auf dem Display sichtbar sind, deren Anzeigeflächen gleichzeitig als Berührungstasten bzw. Senssorfelder zum Aufrufen des entsprechenden Programmablaufs dienen.Particularly advantageous is a further development of the method according to the invention, in which, for selecting a program combination, it is sufficient to touch a surface section of an interactive LCD display on which the multifunction symbol is displayed. In this way control panels of program-controlled domestic appliances can be used in a particularly easy-to-use operating sequence for the user, in which several multifunction symbols are visible on the display, the display surfaces are also used as touch buttons or Senssorfelder to invoke the corresponding program flow.

Anhand von zwei Ausführungsbeispielen für zu kombinierende Einzelsymbole ist das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren nachstehend erläutert. In der Zeichnung zeigen zwei Reihen von notorischen Einzelsymbolen, die in The method according to the invention is explained below on the basis of two exemplary embodiments for individual symbols to be combined. In the drawing, two rows of notorious individual symbols appear in

1 zu einem Multifunktionssymbol für ein Waschprogramm mit Vorwäsche und Spülprozess und in 1 to a multifunction symbol for a washing program with prewash and rinsing process and in

2 zu einem weiteren Multifunktionssymbol für ein 30°-Waschprogramm mit Spülen für bügelleichte Baumwollwäsche kombiniert sind. 2 combined with another multifunction symbol for a 30 ° wash program with rinses for easy-iron cotton laundry.

In 1 sind der Reihe nach notorische Einzelsymbole 1 bis 3 für Programmabschnitte „Vorwäsche” (1), „Hauptwäsche” (2) und „Spülen” (3) dargestellt. Durch hellgrau unterlegte Anteile 4 bis 6 sind die jeweiligen anderen Formen der verwendeten Einzelsymbole 1 bis 3 angedeutet. Das zusammengefasste Multifunktionssymbol 7 enthält alle Formen der Einzelsymbole 1 bis 3 und lässt dadurch leicht erkennen, dass die Programminhalte der verwendeten Einzelsymbole in einem damit gekennzeichneten Programmablauf enthalten sind. Der damit gekennzeichnete Programmablauf enthält damit die Abschnitte „Vorwäsche”, „Hauptwäsche” und „Spülen”.In 1 are in turn notorious individual symbols 1 to 3 for program sections "Prewash" ( 1 ), "Main wash" ( 2 ) and "rinsing" ( 3 ). By light gray highlighted parts 4 to 6 are the respective other forms of the individual symbols used 1 to 3 indicated. The summarized multifunction symbol 7 contains all forms of the individual symbols 1 to 3 and thus makes it easy to see that the program contents of the individual symbols used are contained in a program sequence marked thereby. The program sequence marked with this contains the sections "prewash", "main wash" and "rinse".

Als weiteres Beispiel sei die Zusammenstellung in 2 dargestellt. Darin werden die notorischen Einzelsymbole 3, 8 und 9 für „30°-Hauptwäsche” (8), „Spülen” (3) und „bügelleichte Baumwollwäsche” (9) verwendet. Sie werden in einem Multifunktionssymbol 10 zusammengefasst, das ihre einzelnen Inhalte ohne Weiteres erkennen lässt.Another example is the compilation in 2 shown. These are the notorious individual symbols 3 . 8th and 9 for "30 ° main wash" ( 8th ), "Do the washing up" ( 3 ) and "easy-care cotton wash" ( 9 ) used. They are in a multifunction symbol 10 summarized, which reveals their individual contents without further ado.

Auf diese Weise lassen sich viele weitere notorische Einzelsymbole zu Multifunktionssymbolen zusammenfassen. Außerdem sind auch bei anderen programmgesteuerten Hausgeräten, z. B. bei Wäschetrocknern, Geschirrspülern, Herden, Küchenmaschinen, notorische Symbole auf dieselbe Weise kombinierbar, so dass auch dieselben Vorteile entstehen wie bei den Beispielen für eine Waschmaschine.In this way, many other notorious individual symbols can be combined to form multifunctional symbols. In addition, in other programmatic home appliances, such. B. in dryers, dishwashers, stoves, kitchen appliances, notorious symbols in the same way combined, so that the same advantages arise as in the examples of a washing machine.
