Abstract
A vehicle communication system with display and operator control unit, and having a data bus and components connected thereto, including at least one display/operator control unit and a computing unit which controls the latter. A graphic user interface, which is based on the HTML/XML page format, is implemented in the at least one display/operator control unit and/or the computing unit.
Claims7
A vehicle communication system comprising:
- a data bus connected with at least one display/operator control unit (ABE1, ABE2) and at least one other system component controlled by a computing unit (HRE),
- a graphic user interface, which is based on a HTML/XML page format, is implemented in at least one of the at least one display/operator control unit (ABE1, ABE2) and the computing unit (HRE) which controls the at least one display/operator control unit and,
- wherein the graphic user interface based on the HTML/XML page format is used for communication between the at least one display/operator control unit and the computing unit, and wherein the communication between the at least one display/operator control unit and the computing unit is based on a central system controller, by means of which the computing unit communicates with the at least one other system component.
