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

System including one or more touch-sensitive control surfaces on which control elements, which are arranged next to each other, are displayed. Using a control device with controller software, the control elements can determine amongst themselves via the controller software, when a respective control element should be active or deactivated when touched.

Automotive operating system

An operating device for a motor vehicle, having a base element configured to be attached to an interior component, a screen device configured to display a driving mode and/or an ambient mode of the motor vehicle display, having a touch-sensitive surface configured to receive a first user input. A ring element is configured to enclose the screen device on the peripheral side, and configured to move relative to the base element in different rotational positions, and configured to receive a second user input via an adjustment of the ring element between the rotational positions, and a control device which is configured to, depending on the first user input and/or the second user input, provide a control signal to trigger a driving mode to be set and/or an ambient mode of the motor vehicle to be set.

Operating device for a motor vehicle and motor vehicle with an operating device

The invention relates to a system comprising several touch-sensitive control elements that are arranged next to each other. It is provided that the control elements are able to communicate with each other via a voltage-controlled peer-to-peer line and determine when a particular control element should actively respond to touches or is deactivated.

Control system for a vehicle

The invention relates to a method for detecting a user input for an input device having a plurality of switch elements, wherein a control action with a marking gesture and a selection gesture is detected. In doing so, at least one first and one additional switch element are marked sequentially in a specific sequence using the marking gesture, wherein initially the first switch element and then the at least one additional switch element is marked. Using the selection gesture, the marked switch elements are selected sequentially in reverse sequence. Depending on the selected switch elements, control signals are generated and output. The invention furthermore relates to an input device having a plurality of switch elements, a control unit and a detection unit by means of which a control action with a marking gesture and a selection gesture is detectable. In doing so, at least one first and one additional switch element are markable sequentially in a specific sequence using the marking gesture, wherein initially the first switch element and then the at least one additional switch element is markable. Depending on the selection gesture, the marked switch elements are sequentially selectable in the reverse sequence, and control signals can be generated and output depending on the selected switch elements.
