The invention relates to a method for operating an interactive visibility screen on a transparent pane of a pane device, in particular in a motor vehicle. The visibility screen is generated by means of a display unit of the pane device on the pane by pixel-wise fade-in of opaque image points, wherein the image points form a coherent visibility screen area. In the method, an operational action by the user is first detected by means of a detection device, which comprises a selection of a setting range and a movement relative to the pane. Subsequently, an expansion of the visibility screen area at the setting range is set as a function of the detected movement by means of a control device.

Method for operating an interactive visibility screen, a pane device and a motor vehicle

The invention relates to a vehicle having a detection device for detecting a property of a vehicle occupant and an operator control and display device which is coupled to the detection device, has a display region and is configured to display information in the display region and by means of which a symbol can be displayed in the display region as a function of the sensed property. It is provided here that the property which is detected by means of the detection device is a position of the vehicle occupant, and the operator control and display device is configured to display the symbol in a partial region of the display region which is determined as a function of the detected position, and to assign the symbol to the vehicle occupant in such a way that when there is a change in position of the vehicle occupant that the symbol follows the vehicle occupant. The invention also relates to a method for operating such a vehicle. The invention makes particularly flexible use of the vehicle possible.

Vehicle having an operator control and display device and method for operating such a vehicle

A person is automatically identified by a detection device of an observation apparatus. The identified person is shown a personalized symbol. A control action by the person causes data to be retrieved from a personal data source associated with the person and presented on a display panel. The presentation is stopped at the latest when the person leaves a sensing range of the detection device. This allows a particularly convenient and simple data use.

Method for providing an access device for a personal data source

A first sensor device detects a viewing direction of a user, who is located in an interior of the motor vehicle, onto a display surface of a motor vehicle. A control unit of the motor vehicle determines a display parameter of a digital image subject to the detected viewing direction, specifying an absolute pictorial configuration of the digital image. The determination of the display parameter is based on the viewing direction of the user onto the absolutely pictorial configuration of the digital image, such that a relative, perspective-related configuration of the digital image is obtained so that the relative, perspective-related configuration corresponds to a target configuration of the digital image. The control unit generates the digital image as a function of the determined display parameter and the digital image is then displayed on the display surface.
