A method for operating a device, wherein a graphical user interface is generated and displayed on a display area. The user interface has at least one operating object assigned to an application program for controlling the device. Output data are generated and displayed in the region of the assigned operating object, wherein the application program has a function having exactly two activatable program states. The first program state is activated and the output data are generated based on the activated program state. An input gesture is detected based on the user interface. The operating object has a first region and a second region and the input gesture is assigned to the first region or to the second region.

Device and method for operating a device

A method for selecting an object from a list. A portion of a list is displayed using graphical objects on a display surface and functions are assigned to each graphical object. The list is displayed as a stack in which a first graphical object is completely visible at the top of the stack, and other graphical objects are only partly visible perspectively behind the first graphical object, wherein one of the other graphical objects is selected by a selection operating process. The first graphical object displayed at the top of the stack disappears when a selection operating process has been detected such that one of the other graphical objects is displayed at the top of the stack after the first graphical object has disappeared, and the second graphical object is automatically selected so that the function assigned to the second graphical object is carried out.

Method and device for selecting an object from a list

A method for displaying operating states of units of a vehicle wherein a control device generates graphics data which control a display device so that a first graphics object is displayed with a representation of the vehicle in a first state, and that a second graphics object is generated with a graphical representation of the vehicle unit which is displayed in the changed graphical representation of the vehicle so that the arrangement of the second graphics object of the vehicle unit in the first graphics object of the vehicle substantially corresponds to the real arrangement of the vehicle unit in the vehicle. Also disclosed is a corresponding device for carrying out this method and to a vehicle with such a device.

Method and device for displaying operating states of units of a vehicle

A method for displaying information in a vehicle wherein a control device can generate graphics data which control a display surface such that, in a first display mode, graphic objects and/or buttons for visualizing information of a first vehicle unit are displayed and, in a second display mode, graphic objects and/or switches for visualizing information of a plurality of vehicle units are displayed. In a transition from the first display mode to the second display mode the representation of the graphic objects and/or buttons for visualizing information of the first vehicle unit are decreased in size and changed, and surface graphic objects and/or buttons for visualizing information of other vehicle units are redisplayed and the graphic objects and/or buttons for visualizing information of other vehicle units are moved. Also disclosed is a display unit for carrying out the method.

Method for displaying information in particular in a vehicle and display unit for a vehicle

An energy management method for a vehicle having an energy store and consumers, in which the energy reserve in the energy store is detected and a predicted actual range of the vehicle is calculated, a graphic object which visualizes the predicted actual range is generated and displayed, a user input is detected with which a setpoint range is set in that the graphic object is changed by an input device, after the setting of the setpoint range, on the basis of the difference between the setpoint range and the predicted actual range it is calculated by which changes in state of at least one subset of the consumers the setpoint range can be achieved, and the calculated changes in state are output as a proposal. Also disclosed is an energy management device for carrying out this energy management method.

Energy management method for a vehicle and energy management device

A method and device for setting at least one parameter of at least one light source, wherein the light source is disposed in a vehicle, wherein the at least one parameter of the at least one light source and at least one parameter of at least one audio source are set by means of activation of a first functional profile, wherein the at least one audio source is disposed in the vehicle.

Method and device for setting parameters of a plurality of light sources and audio sources

A device for displaying a multitude of planar objects arranged in at least one stack, includes a display area, e.g., a touchscreen, for displaying the stack; a processing unit to generate and modify graphics data of the objects; and a proximity ascertainment device for detecting an operating element in a proximity region in front of the display surface or an input device. The processing unit is arranged such that the graphics data of the objects are generated so that the at least one stack is displayed on the display area in different display states, i.e., a first mode, preferably a pure display mode; a second mode, in which an operating element is detected in the proximity region in front of the display area or an input device; and a third mode, following the touching or selection of the display area or an object displayed on the display area.
