Cladding element assembly and method for producing a touch-sensitive cladding of a surface

The assembly has a covering element (1) i.e. ceramic tile, for covering a surface, and a transmitter (3) for producing acoustic surface waves (4, 4') in the covering element. A receiver (5) receives the produced waves, and an evaluating unit determines whether the covering element is contacted...

Zusammenfassung:The assembly has a covering element (1) i.e. ceramic tile, for covering a surface, and a transmitter (3) for producing acoustic surface waves (4, 4') in the covering element. A receiver (5) receives the produced waves, and an evaluating unit determines whether the covering element is contacted by a human body part (6) i.e. finger, or an object based on a signal of the receiver produced during receiving of the waves. The covering element has a side formed as a viewing side (11) and a lower side (12) connected with the surface. The transmitter and the receiver are arranged at the lower side. An independent claim is also included for a method for producing contact-sensitive covering of a surface.
