A user terminal, a transportation vehicle, a server, a computer program product, a signal sequence and a method for sending for a transportation vehicle. The method includes receiving user input entered using an actuation device of a user terminal, sending a wireless message, assigning the transportation vehicle to the user terminal in response to the receipt of the wireless message, determining an expected arrival time and/or interval until the arrival of the transportation vehicle at the user terminal, and displaying a waiting time determined based on the arrival time or interval by a number of luminescent light predefined for the display of the waiting time and/or a number per time unit of light to be activated or deactivated, and/or a position of a luminescent light of the user terminal.

User terminal and method for sending for a transportation vehicle

A user terminal, a transportation vehicle, a server, a computer program product, a signal sequence and a method for sending for a first transportation vehicle. The method includes actuating an actuating device of a first user terminal; sending a wireless message from the user terminal to a server in response thereto; assigning a first transportation vehicle to the user terminal; assigning a first color information to the first user terminal and the assigned first transportation vehicle; and emitting a light by the first transportation vehicle and the first user terminal, the identical color of which is defined based on the first color information.

User terminal, transportation vehicle, server, and method for sending for a transportation vehicle

A method to present recommended operator actions of a suggestion system and to provide interaction with the suggestion system. Recommendations for two or more software applications are generated. Display and control elements for the recommendations of the two or more software applications are jointly displayed and an activation of one of the jointly displayed display and operating elements is detected. The software application assigned to the activated display and control element is opened and display and control elements are jointly displayed, each of which represent one of several recommended operator actions for the opened software.

Method and device for presenting suggested recommended operation actions of a suggestion system and interaction with the suggestion system

A recommendation for performing an operation is generated for the interaction with a suggestion system having automated operations. A probability value for the performance of the recommended operation is determined. The recommended operation is automatically performed if a high probability value is determined therefor. Information about the automatically performed operation and an operating element for aborting or reversing the automatically performed operation are displayed. If an actuation of the displayed operating element by a user is detected, the automatically performed operation is aborted or reversed. The information about the automatically performed operation can be displayed on a first display and the operating element for aborting or reversing the automatically performed operation may be displayed on a second display.

Method and arrangement for interacting with a suggestion system having automated operations

A method, a device and a computer-readable storage medium with instructions for identifying an exit side of a motor vehicle. In a first step, the existence of an exit situation is detected. If an exit situation exists, an exit side of the motor vehicle is ascertained. Finally, the opening of a door is simulated on the ascertained exit side. For example, a brightness can be increased on the ascertained exit side, outside sounds can be reproduced, or an air stream can be generated.
