Abstract
In the current state of the art there are a number of operable devicesknown that have an operating panelthrough which a user of the devicecan produce and/or change-existing operating states, Because of the fact that manual operation is often very complex and can also result in the distraction of the user in situations that require the full the attention of a user to be directed elsewhere, the invention increases the ease of operation and simultaneously reduces the amount of attention required to be paid to the devices. The invention uses a decision unitthat blocks or releases certain operating states of the operable devicebased on the data received. The invention can be implemented, for example, so that a mobile telephoneinstalled in a vehicledoes not 'transfer' any telephone calls or suppresses the making of telephone calls from within the vehiclewhen the vehicleis moving faster than a certain speed.
