A user interface for accessing a number of functions, a method and a computer-readable storage medium including instructions for providing a user interface for accessing a number of functions. Assigned to a first subset of the functions are menu commands of the user interface, by way of which the functions are called up. No menu commands of the user interface are assigned to a second subset of the functions. Instead, the functions are called up by way of a search function of the user interface.

User interface for accessing a set of functions, procedures, and computer readable storage medium for providing a user interface for access to a set of functions

An assembly of a graphical user interface in a transportation vehicle with a transportation vehicle seat to which a range is assigned and having a touchscreen arranged in the transportation vehicle relative to the transportation vehicle seat so a first sub-region of the touchscreen is arranged within the range and a second sub-region is arranged outside of the range. The assembly includes a control unit by which a virtual operating surface with an application region and an information region are generated. The virtual operating surface is output on the touchscreen so the application region extends substantially over the first sub-region of the touchscreen and the information region extends substantially over the second sub-region of the touchscreen. During the output process, a first section of the virtual operating surface is displayed on the touchscreen.

In a method for displaying items of information in a transportation device, the items of information are displayed in the form of hierarchical menu structures. A device for displaying items of information includes a control unit and a display unit for the stereoscopic and/or autostereoscopic display of items of information. In the method, the display is implemented stereoscopically, at least two different menus or menu items being displayed to the viewer at different distances. The instrument cluster includes the placement of a mask in front of the display of a display unit, the mask modifying the light emission of the light emitted by the display so as to result in a display of autostereoscopic images.

Technologies and techniques for operating of a touch-sensitive display device of a vehicle. A processor display generates content on the touch-sensitive display device, wherein the content includes assigned elements configured to function in a display mode and an operating mode, depending on a user's presence in at least one of a first position and a second position of the vehicle. A sensing apparatus detects an approach by a user toward the touch-sensitive display device. The processor identifies that the user is in the second position relative to the display device, and, based on the identifying, changes an operating state of the display device to change at least one display mode element of the display content assigned to the second position from display mode to operating mode.

Arrangement, means of locomotion and method for assisting a user in the operation of a touch-sensitive display device

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.

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.

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.

An information playback system in a vehicle having a processor designed to generate a video or control signal and provide this signal to a display device so that the video or control signal causes a playback of at least two different contents in two adjoining subsurfaces of a display surface in a display device. The processor generates the video or control signal so that a boundary between the two subsurfaces can be shifted based on a selection detected by the display unit, or based on an approach detected by a display unit, or based on a predefined movement detected by an input device, resulting in modification of the ratio of the surface portions of the two subsurfaces on the display surface of the display device.
