摘要 An integrated control panel for use in a motor vehicle/automobile, which includes a stack assembly and associated electronics modules for processing signals. The assembly includes one or more capacitive sensors between a decorative touch surface layer and a movable member. Between the movable member and a stationary member is a gap in which a plurality of metallic devices outputting a magnetic flux are positioned across from respective induction sensors. Supporting the movable member above the stationary member are flexible members that compress upon application of a force (touch) on the surface layer, which permits the distance separating the metallic devices and inductions sensors to decrease in a manner that is measurable. The electronics modules provide touch location and force information, which may be conveyed to the motor vehicle/automobile electronics.
