Method for operating a display arrangement of a motor vehicle, operator control device and motor vehicle

An operator control device, comprising:

• at least one touch-sensitive operator control surface;
• and
• a detection and evaluation device, wherein the detection and evaluation device is configured to:
• acquire an operator control action of an operator of a motor vehicle, wherein the operator control action comprises a movement of a body part of the operator along an extension direction of a touch-sensitive operator control surface of the operator control device,
• determine, based on the acquired operator control action, the extension direction on the touch-sensitive operator control surface,
• determine, based on the determined extension direction, a data set selected by the operator by the operator control action and displayed as content on either a front display plane or a virtual display plane,
• determine a shift of the content, based on the extension direction of the operator control action, between the front display plane and the virtual display plane,
• generate a control signal which describes the determined data set and a transfer of the determined data set to a selected display device of a first display device and a second display device, and
• transfer the generated control signal to the selected display device, thereby shifting the content between the front display plane and the virtual display plane.

A motor vehicle comprising:

• a first display device having a first display surface, wherein the first display device is configured to provide a front display plane;
• a second display device having a second display surface, wherein the second display surface is mirrored in the first display surface, thereby producing a virtual display plane behind the first display plane;
• and
• an operator control device that is configured to:
• acquire an operator control action of an operator, wherein the operator control action comprises a movement of a body part of the operator along an extension direction of a touch-sensitive operator control surface of the operator control device,
• determine, based on the acquired operator control action, the extension direction on the touch-sensitive operator control surface,
• determine, based on the determined extension direction, a data set selected by the operator by the operator control action and displayed as content on either the front display plane or the virtual display plane,
• determine a shift of the content, based on the extension direction of the operator control action, between the front display plane and the virtual display plane,
• generate a control signal which describes the determined data set and a transfer of the determined data set to a selected display device of the first display device and the second display device, and
• transfer the generated control signal to the selected display device, thereby shifting the content between the front display plane and the virtual display plane.
