A method for destination selection in a navigation system in which each destination from a totality of all destinations is defined by destination parameters and a set of possible destinations from the totality of all destinations is limited step-wise due to the input of individual characters for one parameter. When inputting the characters, a switch may be made from one destination parameter to an input of a character for another parameter.

Method for selecting elements in a driver information system or in a navigation system or in a mobile terminal

A test method for relevancy testing of an identifier able to be transmitted to a communication device by way of a communication network in a message, a test module therefor and a generating module for building a relevancy table provided for the testy method. In the test method a first position in the relevancy table is sought for the identifier on the basis of a calculating rule applied to the identifier or a on the basis of a second position alternative to the latter using a move-on rule applied to the identifier in a case of conflict, in which the first position is not available until an available position is found. The identifier is designated as being relevant, when at the first or the second position the identifier or a value associated with it is entered or as being irrelevant, when at the first or the second position a non-use marker is entered.

Methods and devices for the relevancy testing of an identifier

A method for determining filter mask for the relevance testing of identifiers, which are able to be transmitted to a communication device by way of a communication network in messages, with the steps of: determining relevance identifiers relevant for the communication device, and determining irrelevance identifiers irrelevant for the communication device, determining at least on initial filter mask in each case for each relevance identifier, which is passable for the respective relevance identifier and is not passable for the irrelevance identifier, combining at least two initial filter masks as a combination filter mask, which is passable for the respective relevance identifier associated with the respective initial filter mask and testing the respective combination filter mask, same being retained instead of its respective basic initial filter masks, if all irrelevance identifiers are able to be masked with the combination filter mask or being rejected, it is passable for at least one irrelevance identifier.

Method and a generating module for determining filter masks for relevance testing of identifiers

A device for the protection of occupants of a vehicle comprises at least one acceleration sensor (10), an electronic device (20) for evaluating the output signal of the sensor (10), and a protective device (30) for protecting the occupants of the vehicle. The device makes it possible to activate in due time the protective device (30) by the electronic device (20) in the manner that estimated values for the future displacement of the occupant of the vehicle and/or the occupant's relative speed with respect to the passenger compartment are estimated in advance and compared with presettable limit values.
