According to a method for activating a privacy device and a motor vehicle having a display device, which may be arranged on a dashboard of the motor vehicle and may include a liquid crystal display screen which may be assigned at least to a front passenger position, the liquid crystal display screen is divided into a plurality of segments. A respective segment includes an electronically switchable privacy device, which is configured in an activated state, to block a display of a display image of the respective segments from the viewing direction of a driver position and to permit the display from the viewing direction of the passenger position, and, in a deactivated state, to permit the display from both viewing directions. The display device is configured to determine the segments on which a moving entertainment content is displayed, and to activate the privacy device for these segments.

Motor vehicle having a display apparatus, and method for activating a view protection device

A method and an operator control device operate an infotainment system. The operator control device has a control unit, an audio device, an actuating element, and a touch-sensitive display device, which is mounted so as to be movable and is designed to display at least one graphical control element. The touch-sensitive display device moves during an actuating action and thus activates the actuating element. The control unit determines an actuation position of the actuating action on the touch-sensitive display device when the actuating element is activated and compares said actuation position with a display position of the at least one graphical control element. The audio device is actuated to output an audible signal when the actuation position matches the display position.

Operator control device for operating an infotainment system, method for providing an audible signal for an operator control device, and motor vehicle having an operator control device

An operating device for a motor vehicle, having a touch-sensitive operating element with a frame element and a central region. The touch-sensitive operating interface has a predetermined operating region at each of at least two predetermined touch positions for activating an operating function assigned to the respective operating region. The operating element is arranged to be displaceable at least partially along a translation axis that intersects the operating interface. The operating device has only one detection element, which is arranged facing an inner side of the touch-sensitive operating element that faces away from the touch-sensitive operating interface, and which is arranged to detect a displacement of each operating region along the translation axis.

Operating device for a motor vehicle, method for operating a motor vehicle with the aid of the operating device, control unit, and motor vehicle

A lamp arrangement for a motor vehicle, including a lamp with a transparent carrier for at least one light source, in particular a micro-LED, and a control device. The lamp arrangement has at least one environmental sensor which is arranged behind the carrier and which acquires sensor data through the carrier.

Lamp arrangement for a motor vehicle, and motor vehicle

A touch-sensitive control device for a motor vehicle, with a control surface; a detection unit which is configured to detect a space-resolved deflection of the control surface; a control unit which is configured to distinguish a characteristic of a deflection of the control surface due to a force exerted on the control surface purely with at least one finger from a characteristic of a deflection of the control surface due to an acceleration acting on the entire control surface. On the basis of this, the force exerted on the control surface purely with the finger, as well as to trigger a function as a function of the determined force exerted purely with the finger is determined.

Touch-sensitive control device for a motor vehicle and method for operating a touch-sensitive control device

A number of objects simultaneously touching a touch-sensitive operator control unit of an operator control apparatus are detected and a trigger position at which one of the number of objects detected touches the touch-sensitive operator control unit is determined. When more than one object touches the touch-sensitive operator control unit, a touch pressure with which the touch-sensitive operator control unit is acted on overall by the number of objects detected is compared to a predefined pressure threshold value. A function of the motor vehicle, assigned to the trigger position, is triggered if the touch pressure is higher than the predefined pressure threshold value. The predefined pressure threshold value is defined in a manner dependent on the number of objects detected.

Method for operating an operator control device of a motor vehicle in multi-finger operation

A touch-sensitive surface is provided on an operator control device that includes a way to detect a force applied by a user to at least one area of the touch-sensitive surface. An actuator generates haptic feedback to the user when the force applied exceeds a threshold value. An evaluation unit of the operator control device determines a time-related gradient of the force and changes the threshold value of the force according to the time-related gradient.

Operator control device and method for actuating functional units and motor vehicle

A touchpad detects a duration of a touch by an object at a current position and/or a distance traversed by the object. An operator control mode is predefined as a function of the duration and/or the distance. A pressure threshold value is predefined as a function of the operator control mode. The pressure applied to the touchpad is detected and if higher than the predefined pressure threshold value, a function of the motor vehicle which is assigned to the current position is triggered.

Method for operating an operator control device of a motor vehicle in different operator control modes, operator control device and motor vehicle

A device for generating a haptic moment at an actuator including an unbalance motor, a sensor for sensing activation of the actuator, and a processor for generating an actuation signal for the unbalance motor depending on signals of the sensor, wherein the processor is embodied so that, when activation of the actuator is sensed, the processor generates a first actuation signal and generates a second actuation signal, wherein the first actuation signal is configured so the unbalance motor is accelerated in a first rotational direction without reaching more than two revolutions, and the second actuation signal is configured so the unbalance motor is braked without the unbalance motor starting to move in the second rotational direction.

Device and method for generating a haptic moment at an actuator

A touch-sensitive sensor element is mounted movably such that it is movable in a direction of operation of a manual operation. The touch-sensitive sensor element is mechanically coupled to a force sensor element.

Input device for detecting a manual actuation

The invention relates to a motor vehicle which includes a display for presenting a list of entries, wherein an entry has an associated function of the motor vehicle, and wherein the motor vehicle comprises a rotary knob which is associated with the display, which can be rotated about an axis of rotation and which can be rotated through a prescribed angle of rotation in order to move a marker from one entry to an entry which is adjacent thereto.
