(57) Electronically controlled appliance, in particular a cooking oven, comprising: selectively
controllable control means working at least partially with the capacitive touch control
technology, arranged on a control surface; means for displaying a plurality of working
cycle parameters; control and processing means suitable to receive signals and instructions
received from said processing and control means and from other sensors associated
with the appliance operating devices; to process them according to one or more predefined
algorithms; to send indicative signals to said display means and actuation/working
instructions to the operating devices of the appliance; said command means also include
a portion of said control surface, formed as a closed, preferably circular perimeter,
and associated with a plurality of capacitive sensors, suitable to detect the movement
of an object, typically the finger of an operator using the appliance, that moves
by sliding on said closed perimeter portion, and said control means are suitable to
process a value of a display signal according to a relation depending on a non-linear
mode with respect to the speed of movement of said object on said portion.
Preferably, the display and programming control of the values of a selected quantity
increases with a speed greater than the possible speed increase in the movement of
said object, or finger, on said circular portion.
