Abstract
A method and a device for providing for the adapted display of measured values in a freely programmable instrument cluster, in which the display is adaptively adjusted as a function of the driving and operating data of the vehicle.
Claims11
A method for displaying a measured value in a freely programmable instrument cluster in a vehicle, the instrument cluster being controlled by a processing unit, the method comprising:
- determining a maximum scale value of a scale for the measured value as a function of at least one further value, the at least one further value being one of a stored value and an ascertained value from driving and operating data, the scale further having a variable minimum scale value;
- displaying the measured value on the scale with one of a pointer depicted in a display and an indicator bar depicted in an inscribed bar indicator;
- and
- determining a value for the variable minimum scale value, in addition to the maximum scale value.
A method for displaying a measured value in a freely programmable instrument cluster in a vehicle, the instrument cluster being controlled by a processing unit, the method comprising:
- determining a maximum scale value of a scale for the measured value as a function of at least one further value, the at least one further value being one of a stored value and an ascertained value from driving and operating data;
- displaying the measured value on the scale with one of a pointer depicted in a display and an indicator bar depicted in an inscribed bar indicator;
- and
- displaying the scale at least partially in a warning color if at least one of special action and special attention is required by a driver for the ascertained driving and operating data.
A method for displaying a measured value in a freely programmable instrument cluster in a vehicle, the instrument cluster being controlled by a processing unit, the method comprising:
- determining a maximum scale value of a scale for the measured value as a function of at least one further value, the at least one further value being one of a stored value and an ascertained value from driving and operating data;
- and
- displaying the measured value on the scale with one of a pointer depicted in a display and an indicator bar depicted in an inscribed bar indicator;
- wherein the maximum scale value is determined so that it exceeds a maximally allowed measured value by at least a first percentage value and at most by a second percentage value, the second percentage value being greater than the first percentage value.
A method for displaying a measured value in a freely instrument cluster in a vehicle, the instrument cluster being controlled by a processing unit, the method comprising:
- determining a maximum scale value of a scale for the measured value as a function of at least one further value, the at least one further value being one of a stored value and an ascertained value from driving and operating data, wherein the vehicle speed is selected as the measured value;
- displaying the measured value on the scale with one of a pointer depicted in a display and an indicator depicted in an inscribed bar indicator;
- and
- inputting a maximally allowed speed of the vehicle manually via an input unit, the maximally allowed speed being used as the maximum scale value of the scale.
