Abstract:
A method for controlling a display surface of an operator control device in a vehicle, wherein data for a menu structure having menus in different levels is stored in a memory and the presence of an actuating object in a detection region is detected and the menus of the menu structure include a subsurface for displaying vehicle-specific information, wherein the subsurface having the vehicle-specific information is displayed or modified in the associated menu on the display surface only if it is detected that the actuating object enters into the detection region or exits from the detection region. Also disclosed is a corresponding operator control device in the vehicle for performing the method.
Abstract:
A method for displaying information in a vehicle, in which list entries from a list are allocated to graphical objects and, in a main view, a partial amount of the graphical objects are displayed by a display device arranged in the vehicle; a control device modifying the graphical data, as a result of an input from an input device, so that the graphical objects in the displayed partial amount are modified. As the result of an input using an input device, the control device changes to a configuration mode which determines which graphical objects are allocated to the partial amount whose graphical objects are displayed in the main view. Also disclosed is a device for carrying out the method.
Abstract:
An operating interface comprising a touch-sensitive display element and at least one sensor formed to display information to a user on the display element to register touching of the display element with a touch element by the user and to register the presence of the touch element in a recognition region, the recognition region adjoining a side of the display element which faces the user. The interface also includes a control circuit formed to control the display element so the display element reproduces information facilitating operation of the operating interface on the display element when the touch element is located in the recognition region for a predetermined period of time without touching of the display element being registered during that time.
