Abstract: A control system for a vehicle interior comprising a control element for a user to interact with is provided. The control element may comprise a sensing electrode configured to provide one or more electrical signals and a non-conductive cover material provided on or over the sensing electrode. The sensing electrode may be formed of or comprise a conductive plastic. The non-conductive cover material may be formed of or comprise a non-conductive plastic. The non-conductive cover material may be or comprise an outer layer, over-layer or skin of the control element. The non-conductive cover material may provide one or more touch interactive surfaces of the control element.

Abstract: A pressure sensing device (1000) comprises first and second electrodes (10, 20) spaced from each other by a distance. At least one of the electrodes is formed of/comprises a unitary piece of non-metallic conductive material. The distance is changeable in response to a pressure/force applied to the first and/or second electrode. The device comprises a measurement module (500) connected to the first/second electrode at a plurality of sensing points (S1 . . . ). The measurement module is configured to measure a change in capacitance between the first and second electrodes, in response to a change in the distance when a pressure/force is applied to the first and/or second electrode, at each sensing point individually and/or at all sensing points simultaneously. The measurement module is configured to determine the location, area and amount of applied pressure on the first and/or second electrode from the individual measurements, and/or the amount of the applied pressure from the simultaneous measurement.

Abstract: A sensor device for determining a position of an operator's finger/hand, comprises a handle portion comprising one or more touch sensing electrode portions. Each touch sensing electrode portion is configured to provide an electrical signal in response to the operator's finger/hand being on or near the one or more touch sensing electrode portions. The sensor device also comprises a measurement module configured to receive the or each electrical signal from the touch sensing electrode portion(s) and determine a position of the operator's finger/hand relative to one or more of the touch sensing electrode portions based on the or each electrical signal. The or each touch sensing electrode portion is formed of or comprises a non-metallic conductive material.
