A method and a device for displaying information and for operating an electronic device in a vehicle, wherein a plurality of list elements are displayed on a display surface with a touch-sensitive surface; a contact of a list element on the touch-sensitive surface with an actuating object or an approach of the actuating object to the list element is detected, whereupon the list element is activated, and after the activation of the list element, a first swiping movement of the actuating object on or in the vicinity of the touch-sensitive surface is detected, and with or after the detection of the first swiping movement of the actuating object, at least the list elements which are not activated are removed from the display surface and a multimedia additional element associated with the activated list element is inserted into the display surface.

Method and device for displaying information and for operating an electronic device selectively including activated list elements

An input device, e.g., for a motor vehicle, includes a display for displaying variable information, and a touch screen, disposed above the display, for inputting instructions by touching the touch screen, and the input device including a control system for generating a selection marking displayable on the display, and for displacing the selection marking displayed by the display according to a touching motion across the touch screen.

Input device for a motor vehicle

A display device () of a motor vehicle, wherein the display device () has a display area having a display area center (), wherein the display area has at least one inner area () and at least one lateral area (), wherein the lateral area () is formed as a partial lateral area of a first cone which is characterized by an angle of aperture (&#x3c6;) and a first cone axis (), wherein a viewing ray () directed form at least one viewing unit () onto the display device center () intersects the first cone axis () in an intersecting angle (&#x3b1;) so that the sum of the half of the angle of aperture (&#x3c6;/2) and the intersecting angle (&#x3b1;) is in an angular range from 75 degrees to 105 degrees, wherein the viewing unit () is positioned within a predefined position volume () in the motor vehicle.

Display device of a motor vehicle

The multi-function control device for a motor vehicle has a plurality of operating elements, function groups and/or functions subordinate to the function groups being operable via the operating elements, the function groups having one or more menu levels, which are displayable via a display device, and one or more function groups being active, and a selected function group from among the group of the active function groups, and/or at least one function subordinate to the selected function group is displayable using the display device, it being possible to access non-selected, active function groups and/or at least one function subordinate to the non-selected function group, within the selected function group without leaving the context of the selected function group.

Multi-function control device and radio-navigation system for a motor vehicle

An input device, e.g., for a motor vehicle, includes: a display for the visual representation of an operating element; a touch screen disposed above the display for detecting a touching contact of the touch screen in the region of the operating element; and a control system for displacing the operating element, represented with the aid of the display, according to a touching motion across the touch screen, and the input device including an actuator for deflecting the touch screen when the operating element attains a predefined position or is moved a predefined distance.
