Abstract
A method for identifying a signaling state of at least one signaling device from a plurality of signaling devices includes obtaining at least one image which comprises each of the plurality of signaling devices, representing at least one first group of the plurality of signaling devices detected by the image using a display device, receiving a user input regarding the display device or regarding a representation provided by the display device, evaluating the user input and selecting a second group from the first group of the plurality of signaling devices, and detecting a signaling state of the signaling devices of the second group and outputting a signal as a function of at least one detected signaling state of a signaling device of the second group in response to a change in the signaling state. A device for carrying out such a method is also described.
