Abstract
User interfaces and processes to support a user during the operation of a touch-sensitive control unit. A presence of an input means, such as a finger of the user, is detected in a predefined first area in front of a button displayed on the control unit. In response to the detection a timer is started having a predetermined time segment. When the timer elapses, a secondary function in the control unit is executed relative to the button in which the input means is detected.
