A method for providing a user interface in a vehicle, wherein information that is structured in lists can be displayed, and wherein a list includes list entries and the list entries include elements. At least one subset of the list is displayed on a display surface so that list entries extend on the display surface in a first direction, and at least one subset of elements of this one list entry are displayed so that the elements extend on the display surface in a second direction that differs from the first direction.

Method and device for providing a user interface in a vehicle

A method and a device for displaying information and for operating an electronic device in a vehicle, wherein a plurality of list elements are displayed on a display surface with a touch-sensitive surface; a contact of a list element on the touch-sensitive surface with an actuating object or an approach of the actuating object to the list element is detected, whereupon the list element is activated, and after the activation of the list element, a first swiping movement of the actuating object on or in the vicinity of the touch-sensitive surface is detected, and with or after the detection of the first swiping movement of the actuating object, at least the list elements which are not activated are removed from the display surface and a multimedia additional element associated with the activated list element is inserted into the display surface.

Method and device for displaying information and for operating an electronic device selectively including activated list elements

A method for controlling a motor vehicle comfort system, wherein the control is carried out with the aid of a touch-sensitive display and user interface assigned to the comfort system. In at least one operating mode, the virtual representation of at least one body having a three-dimensional appearance is generated in a first position on the touch-sensitive display and user interface and at least one function that can be executed by the comfort system is represented on the surface of the body, wherein the body is moved after rotating around a horizontal or vertical axis into another position in which at least one other function which can be executed by the comfort system is represented on the visible surface of the body.

Method for controlling a motor vehicle comfort system

A method and an apparatus for providing a graphical user interface in a vehicle. The method involves graphical objects displayed completely visibly on a display panel in a first mode of operation of a display apparatus, the graphical objects are divided into a first set of graphical objects and a second set of graphical objects. In a second mode of operation, the display panel is reduced and the display panel is divided into a visible portion and a nonvisible portion so that, following a change from the first mode of operation to the second mode of operation, the graphical objects in the first set are displayed completely on the visible portion of the display panel and the graphical objects in the second set are at least to some extent not displayed on the visible portion of the display panel.

Method and apparatus for providing a graphical user interface in a vehicle

A method for displaying information in a vehicle wherein a control device can generate graphics data which control a display surface such that, in a first display mode, graphic objects and/or buttons for visualizing information of a first vehicle unit are displayed and, in a second display mode, graphic objects and/or switches for visualizing information of a plurality of vehicle units are displayed. In a transition from the first display mode to the second display mode the representation of the graphic objects and/or buttons for visualizing information of the first vehicle unit are decreased in size and changed, and surface graphic objects and/or buttons for visualizing information of other vehicle units are redisplayed and the graphic objects and/or buttons for visualizing information of other vehicle units are moved. Also disclosed is a display unit for carrying out the method.
