Abstract
A plurality of virtual individual sequences that can be reproduced by use of a display device in a motor vehicle are provided. At least some of the provided individual sequences are reproduced by use of the display device while traveling a route with the motor vehicle. A selection and determination of a reproduction order of the individual sequences are effected so as to match a characteristic of the route and such that the individual sequences connect a specified entry sequence and end sequence to form a coherent experience.

A method for operating a display device in a motor vehicle when traveling a route with the motor vehicle, the method comprising:
- providing a plurality of virtual individual sequences which are reproducible by using the display device;
- and
- reproducing, using the display device, virtual individual sequences while traveling the route with the motor vehicle, selecting and determining of a reproduction order of the virtual individual sequences being effected so as to match a characteristic of the route and such that the virtual individual sequences connect a specified entry sequence and end sequence to form a virtual game or movie, and selecting the virtual individual sequences for reproducing includes:
- counting, using a counter, a number of journeys a vehicle occupant has undertaken since a specific virtual individual sequence has been reproduced, and, when the counter exceeds a specified value, permitting the specific virtual individual sequence to be selected again, or
- automatically tracking, using a timer, a time that has passed since a specific virtual individual sequence was reproduced, and, when the time exceeds a specified value, permitting the specific virtual sequence to be selected again.
A display system for a motor vehicle, comprising:
- a display device;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- provide a plurality of virtual individual sequences which are reproducible by using the display device,
- reproduce, using the display device, virtual individual sequences while traveling the route with the motor vehicle, a selection and determination of a reproduction order of the virtual individual sequences being effected by the controller so as to match a characteristic of the route and such that the virtual individual sequences connect a specified entry sequence and end sequence to form a virtual game or movie, and
- select the virtual individual sequences for reproducing by:
- counting, using a counter, a number of journeys a vehicle occupant has undertaken since a specific virtual individual sequence has been reproduced, and, when the counter exceeds a specified value, permitting the specific virtual individual sequence to be selected again, or
- automatically tracking, using a timer, a time that has passed since a specific virtual individual sequence was reproduced, and, when the time exceeds a specified value, permitting the specific virtual sequence to be selected again.
