Abstract
The disclosure relates to a user interface, a means of transportation, and a method for displaying a representation of a traffic situation in a first display are of a graphical user interface of a means of transportation. The method comprises the steps of: determining a speed of the means of transportation and adjusting a vanishing point of the representation of the traffic situation of a first display area depending on the speed.
Claims12
A method for displaying a representation of a traffic situation in a first display area (3) of a graphical user interface (1, 2) of a means of transportation (10), comprising the steps of:
- determining (100) a speed of the means of transportation (10) and
- adjusting (200) a vanishing point (x) of the representation of the traffic situation of a first display area (3) depending on the speed.
The method according to any one of the preceding claims, further comprising:
- determining (300) a changed speed of the means of transportation (10) and, in response hereto,
- adjusting (400) the vanishing point (x) depending on the changed speed.
The method according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the vanishing point (x) is shifted upwards at a higher speed and downwards at a lower speed.
The method according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the graphical user interface (1, 2) is displayed on
- an instrument cluster and/or
- a central display unit,
- wherein in particular the first display area (3) is arranged fully and the second display area (4a, 4b) only partially on the instrument cluster and/or wherein the second display area (4a, 4b) is arranged partially on the central display unit.
A user interface for displaying a traffic situation in a first display area (3) of a graphical user interface (1, 2) of a means of transportation (10), comprising:
- a data input (11),
- a data output (8), and
- an evaluation unit (9), wherein the evaluation unit (9) is configured
- to determine a speed of the means of transportation (10) by means of the data input (11) and
- to adjust a vanishing point (x) of the representation of the traffic situation in the first display area (3) by means of the data output (8) depending on the speed.
