Abstract

A method for providing haptic feedback to an operator of a touch-sensitive display device. The method includes providing an operator interface to be represented in the display device as image data; the operator interface having at least one button assigned to a function to be controlled, graphically displayed in the operator interface, and graphically delimited from the rest of the operator interface; analyzing the image data for a presence and a position of shapes for representing a button; determining an intended display region of a shape, which is to be represented and is identified as a button; representing the image data of the operator interface in the touch-sensitive display device; outputting haptic feedback in response to detection of contact with the touch-sensitive display device in the region of a surface of the touch-sensitive display device which is assigned to a display region of a shape identified as a button.
