The disclosure relates to a method for operating a motor vehicle, in which an operating device is used to receive a user input that characterizes a selection of an ambient mode to be set from multiple predefined ambient modes, and in which a control apparatus is used to trigger the setting of a group of settings, represented by the selected ambient mode, in vehicle components of the motor vehicle that are predefined by the selected ambient mode, that are to be set, and that each provide a comfort function.

Method for operating a motor vehicle and motor vehicle

Technologies and techniques for operating an operating system in a vehicle, in which display data for a graphical user interface having a first display region and an info region is generated and output. Context data relating to a current context of the vehicle is detected. A first relevance value is determined for a first info application on the basis of the detected context data, and a graphical info object is generated according to the determined first relevance value on the basis of the first info application and output in the info region. The position and/or size of the graphical info object is formed according to the first relevance value. The present disclosure also relates to an operating system for a vehicle, including a control unit, an output unit and a context detection unit.

Method for operating an operating system in a vehicle and operating system for a vehicle

Disclosed is a method for operating an operating system in a vehicle, wherein display data of a graphical user interface comprising at least one first display region are generated and output. The graphical user interface comprises a basic state and an info state. Context data about a current context of the vehicle are recorded and a first relevance value is determined for a first info application based on the recorded context data. The info state is activated depending on the determined first relevance value of the first info application, wherein, when the info state is activated, the first display region is reduced in size such that an info region is formed and a graphical info object is generated using the first info application and output in the info region.

Method for generating and outputting graphical info objects on a graphical user interface

A method for displaying at least one parameter concerning the operation of a vehicle in the vehicle by a display device with a display surface wherein, in a first display mode of the display device, the display surface generates a display element with a first boundary and an area lying within the first boundary. The area is divided into at least a first sub-area and a second sub-area and the first sub-area includes a scale by which a state variable of the vehicle is displayed. The current value of the state variable is displayed in the first display mode by a graphical element which extends from the second sub-area in the first sub-area to the scale. Also disclosed is a device for displaying at least one parameter concerning the operation of a vehicle in the vehicle.

Method and apparatus for displaying at least one operation parameter of a subject vehicle in the vehicle

An interactive control device includes a display device, and a method is for operating the interactive control device. The method includes: displaying graphical information on the display device; receiving sensor information; activating a control action if on the basis of the sensor information it is ascertained that a body part of a user is located within an activation region that is spatially defined relative to a display region of a control element on the display device with which the control action is associated; the received sensor information including user information that is evaluated prior to an activation of the control action in order to ascertain a control intention for the at least one control element; and the information represented on the display device being adapted as a function of the ascertained control intention such that the at least one control element is represented in a manner optimized for the activation of the control action associated with the control element. The control device may be arranged as a component of a motor vehicle console so as to be able to implement the control method.

Interactive control device and method for operating the interactive control device

A method for controlling a graphical user interface, wherein a menu is defined, in which several objects of the menu are each associated with a function, and a global input gesture is associated with at least a part of the objects, wherein the input gesture can be executed on a touch-sensitive surface of an input device and different display contents can be displayed on a display surface. In the method, a global input gesture executed on the touch-sensitive surface is captured and, independently of the currently rendered display content on the display surface, a function is executed, which is associated with the object that is associated with the captured input gesture. Further disclosed is an operating device for executing the method.

Method for controlling a graphical user interface and operating device for a graphical user interface

In a method for displaying information in a vehicle, a geographic map is displayed on a display surface, a symbol for the vehicle is displayed within the geographic map, the position of the symbol relative to the geographic map changing as a function of the geographic position of the vehicle, and a graphic object including supplementary information being displayed within the geographic map as a function of the geographic position of the vehicle. An image sequence including multiple images for the graphic object is produced and displayed as a function of the geographic position of the vehicle such that at the end of the image sequence the graphic object has disappeared or can no longer be assigned to the supplementary information. A device is adapted to implement the method described above.
