Disclosed are new methods and apparatus particularly suited for applications in a vehicle, to provide a wide range of information, and the safe input of data to a computer controlling the vehicle subsystems or “Telematic” communication using for example GM's “ONSTAR” or cellular based data sources.
Disclosed are new methods and apparatus particularly suited for applications in a vehicle, to provide a wide range of information, and the safe input of data to a computer controlling the vehicle subsystems or “Telematic” communication using for example GM's “ONSTAR” or cellular based data sources. Preferred embodiments utilize new programmable forms of tactile touch screens and displays employing tactile physical selection or adjustment means which utilize direct optical data input. A revolutionary form of dashboard or instrument panel results which is stylistically attractive, lower in cost, customizable by the user, programmable in both the tactile and visual sense, and with the potential of enhancing interior safety and vehicle operation. Non-automotive applications of the invention are also disclosed, for example means for general computer input using touch screens and home automation systems.

1. A method for controlling a variable in a computer system, the method comprising: detecting a first touch input over a displayed GUI item on a touch sensitive surface of the display screen;after detecting the first touch input, detecting movement of the first touch input across the touch sensitive surface;while detecting the movement of the first touch input across the touch sensitive surface, maintaining the displayed GUI item fixed in substantially the same position within the display screen; anddetermining a value of the variable based on the detected movement of the first touch input across the touch sensitive surface, wherein the variable is associated with the displayed GUI item. 2. The method according to claim 1, further comprising determining the value of the variable based on a direction of the detected movement across the touch sensitive surface. 3. The method according to claim 2, further comprising incrementing the value of the variable based on upward movement of the first touch input across the touch sensitive surface. 4. The method according to claim 2, further comprising decrementing the value of the variable based on downward movement of the first touch input across the touch sensitive surface. 5. The method according to claim 2, further including incrementing the value of the variable based on rightward movement of the first touch input across the touch sensitive surface. 6. The method according to claim 2, further comprising decrementing the value of the variable based on leftward movement of the first touch input across the touch sensitive surface. 7. The method according to claim 1, further comprising determining the value of the variable based on a distance of the detected movement across the touch sensitive surface. 8. The method according to claim 7, further comprising changing the value of the variable in proportion to the distance of the detected movement across the touch sensitive surface. 9. The method according to claim 1, further comprising incrementing or decrementing the value of the variable based on a direction of the detected movement across the touch sensitive surface. 10. An apparatus for controlling a variable in a computer system, the apparatus comprising: a touch screen configured for sensing one or more touches and displaying a GUI item associated with the variable; andtouch detection circuitry communicatively coupled to the touch screen, the touch detection circuitry capable of detecting a first touch input in proximity to the displayed GUI item,after detecting the first touch input, detecting movement of the first touch input across the touch screen,while detecting the movement of the first touch input, maintaining the displayed GUI item fixed at substantially the same position within the touch screen, andmodifying a value of the variable based on the detected movement of the first touch input. 11. The apparatus of claim 10, the touch detection circuitry further capable of modifying the value of the variable based on a direction of the detected movement. 12. The apparatus according to claim 11, the touch detection circuitry further capable of decrementing the value of the variable based on downward movement of the first touch input across the touch screen. 13. The apparatus according to claim 11, the touch detection circuitry further capable of incrementing the value of the variable based on rightward movement of the first touch input. 14. The apparatus according to claim 11, the touch detection circuitry further capable of decrementing the value of the variable based on leftward movement of the first touch input. 15. The apparatus of claim 10, the touch detection circuitry further capable of modifying the value of the variable based on a distance of the detected movement. 16. The apparatus according to claim 15, the touch detection circuitry further capable of modifying the value of the variable in proportion to the distance of the detected movement. 17. The apparatus according to claim 10, the touch detection circuitry further capable of incrementing or decrementing the value of the variable based on a direction of the detected movement. 18. The apparatus according to claim 11, the touch detection circuitry further capable of incrementing the value of the variable based on upward movement of the first touch input across the touch screen.
