A transparent pixel matrix, a screening layer, and a control circuit are included in a display apparatus. The control circuit displays a graphic object on the pixel matrix. The screening layer includes individually switchable segments arranged behind the pixel matrix and the segments are switchable with respect to their transparency between a minimum value and a maximum value. The control circuit selects the graphic object based on an input by the user. The control circuit signals the graphic object is selected by operating a first segment among the segments arranged behind the selected graphic object as a selection segment, with the minimum value of transparency or with the maximum value of transparency, and by operating a second segment among the segments as a background segment in a complementary fashion with respect to the selection segment, with the maximum value of transparency or the minimum value of transparency.

Display device with a transparent pixel matrix for displaying selectable graphic objects and motor vehicle and operating method for the display device

A method for operating an infotainment system of a motor vehicle in which at least one data set stored on at least one mobile terminal is transmitted wirelessly to the infotainment system and received by the infotainment system as soon as a swipe gesture has been detected on the mobile terminal wherein the at least one data set is stored first in a buffer memory of the infotainment system and only then transmitted to a further memory of the infotainment system and then processed by means of the infotainment system when a predetermined confirmation action has been detected on-board. The invention also relates to an infotainment system for a motor vehicle.

Method for operating an infotainment system of a motor vehicle, and infotainment system for motor vehicle

An operating unit is used to choose least alphanumeric characters and/or symbols and to combine them to form a character group. A display device displays selectable characters in a selection field and displays selected characters in an one input field. Data is stored in a storage unit. A data processing unit selects data from the data stored in the storage unit according to predefinable criteria, taking into consideration a chosen character and previously selected characters. A completion suggestion with at least one completion element is displayed in close proximity to the chosen character in the selection field, insofar as a possible completion of the chosen character and the previously selected characters. The completion element is choosable by a user by the operating unit, and a chosen completion element can be selected by a user by the operating unit.

Device associated with a vehicle and having a spelling system with a completion suggestion

The present invention relates to a vehicle-associated device, with an operating unit by means of which at least alphanumerical characters and/or symbols can be selected and assembled to form a character or function group, and with a display device by means of which, using a display unit, selectable characters and/or symbols can be displayed in at least one selection field, and selected characters, symbols, a character or function group can be displayed in at least one input field, wherein the device is set up (a) in order to display, on the display unit, immediately adjacent to a character or symbol dialed in by means of the operating unit and displayed in a selection field, a delete switch areawhich can be activated by means of the operating unit for deleting at least the most recently selected character or symbol displayed in an input field, and/or (b) in order to display, immediately adjacently to a character or symbol dialed in by means of the operating unit and displayed in a selection field, a list selection switch area, which can be retrieved by means of the operating unit in order to retrieve a selection list.
