20090048777 | Method for Controlling the Display of a Geographical Map in a Vehicle and Display Apparatus for that Purpose - In a method for controlling a map display in a vehicle, a display device is controlled such that a section of a geographical map is displayed in a spatially non-linear scale. A display apparatus for displaying a geographical map includes a control unit and a display device, connected to the control unit, a map section, the control unit including an arithmetic-logic unit by which data assigned to the geographical map is able to be converted into display data, taking a spatially non-linear scale into consideration. A navigation system includes such a display apparatus. | 02-19-2009 |

20140215403 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR MAKING AVAILABLE A USER INTERFACE, IN PARTICULAR IN A VEHICLE - A method for making available a user interface, in particular in a vehicle, in which one or more graphic objects are displayed on a display with a touch-sensitive surface, an operator controlled intention which can be assigned to an operator controlled area of the display is determined in a contactless fashion in a space in the viewing direction in front of the display, and an operator controlled action is implemented by touching one of the graphic objects in the operator-controlled area of the display. Three-dimensional graphics data are calculated for a graphic object in the operator-controlled area of the display, and that when the operator-controlled intention has been determined, the graphic object in the operator-controlled area is emphasized visually in that the display of the graphic object which can be perceived over an area in the plane of the display is changed into a display which can be perceived spatially. | 07-31-2014 |
20150212641 | OPERATING INTERFACE, METHOD FOR DISPLAYING INFORMATION FACILITATING OPERATION OF AN OPERATING INTERFACE AND PROGRAM - 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. | 07-30-2015 |
20150286367 | METHOD FOR DISPLAYING INFORMATION IN A VEHICLE, AND A DEVICE FOR CONTROLLING THE DISPLAY - 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. | 10-08-2015 |
20150363056 | METHOD FOR OPERATING A CONTROL DEVICE IN A VEHICLE - A method for operating a control device in a vehicle, wherein the control device includes a control element having a user interface. In the method, menus are simultaneously displayed on a display surface. Furthermore, a detection region is formed, which is divided into detection zones, wherein each detection zone is associated with a respective menu. The position of an actuation object in the detection region is detected and associated with a detection zone. The menu that is associated with the detection zone in which the actuation object was detected is enlarged and the menus that are associated with the other detection zones are reduced in size. Also disclosed is a control device in a vehicle. | 12-17-2015 |
20160103567 | USER INTERFACE AND METHOD FOR ADAPTING A MENU BAR ON A USER INTERFACE - A user interface and a method for adapting a menu bar on a user interface. The method includes displaying the menu bar on a display unit of the user interface, receiving a first user input for displaying a two-dimensional arrangement in the menu bar of displayable entries representing ranges of functions of the user interface, displaying the arrangement on the display unit, receiving a second predefined user input with respect to an entry of the menu bar or an entry of the arrangement, and, in response thereto, adapting the menu bar. | 04-14-2016 |
20160110033 | METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A DISPLAY SURFACE OF AN OPERATOR CONTROL DEVICE AND OPERATOR CONTROL DEVICE IN A VEHICLE - 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. | 04-21-2016 |
