Abstract
Disclosed are a user interface, a computer program product, a signal sequence, a transportation vehicle and a method for the multiple use of a display unit of a user interface included in a transportation vehicle. Said method may comprise the steps: displaying, on a first display unit, display elements representing a range of information; detecting the approach of a user, and in response thereto, displaying control elements representing a range of functions in place of the display elements.
Claims13
A method for the hybrid use of a display unit of transportation vehicle, the method comprising the steps of
- displaying of display elements representing an information scope on a first display unit,
- detecting an approach of a user and in response thereto,
- displaying of operator control elements, and
- representing a function scope instead of the display elements.
A user interface for the hybrid use of a display unit of a transportation vehicle, the user interface comprising
- a first display unit which is configured to display elements representing a first information scope,
- a detection unit which is configured to detect the approach of a user to the first display unit, and
- an evaluation unit which is configured to display, in response to the approach of the user detected by means of the detection unit, and
- operator control elements of a functional scope instead of the display elements representing the first information scope on the first display unit.
A computer program product comprising instructions which, when executed on a programmable evaluation unit of a user interface including a first display unit which is configured to display elements representing a first information scope, a detection unit which is configured to detect the approach of a user to the first display unit, and an evaluation unit which is configured to display, in response to the approach of the user detected by means of the detection unit, and operator control elements of a functional scope instead of the display elements representing the first information scope on the first display unit, cause the evaluation unit to carry out the steps of a method comprising the steps of:
- displaying of display elements representing an information scope on a first display unit,
- detecting an approach of a user and in response thereto,
- displaying of operator control elements, and
- representing a function scope instead of the display elements.
(canceled)
Transportation vehicle comprising a user interface including
- a first display unit which is configured to display elements representing a first information scope,
- a detection unit which is configured to detect the approach of a user to the first display unit, and
- an evaluation unit which is configured to display, in response to the approach of the user detected by means of the detection unit, and operator control elements of a functional scope instead of the display elements representing the first information scope on the first display unit.
