Abstract

A system for recognizing an operating intention at an operating unit that can be actuated manually includes an image capture unit for monitoring a capture region surrounding the operating unit for an entering hand in order to capture it in terms of a positioning of a palm of a hand or of one or a plurality of fingers in relation to the operating unit and to generate corresponding image information. An evaluation unit is provided for comparing the generated image information with at least one image pattern that is characteristic for an operating intention from a pattern memory. In the event of a correspondence that lies within a permitted variation range, a controllable function is enabled on the part of the operating unit.
