Abstract: A method controls a transmission in a motor vehicle. The method involves displaying transmission information on a primary display, determining when a hand is approaching a gear selector, and initiating a display of, and then displaying, gear selection information on a secondary display when the hand is approaching the gear selector, before the hand touches the gear selector, the secondary display being a multi-use changeable display that, at different times, displays information for different systems of the motor vehicle. The method may therefore provide the information to the driver when it is needed, before the gear is shifted.

Abstract: A method inputs a control command for a component of a motor vehicle. The method involves generating an image sequence of an input object guided by a user in a specified detection region using an imaging device, detecting a change in position of the input object on the basis of the image sequence, and generating a control command for the component of the motor vehicle on the basis of the detected change in position. The imaging device employs at least one infrared-sensitive camera, and the detection region is illuminated using at least one infrared source.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for operating an operating system (10), in particular of a motor vehicle, having the steps: detecting by means of a pressure detection device whether an operating field (14) of the operating system (10) has been exposed by means of an actuating element (12) to a greater pressure than a predetermined pressure threshold value; if it is detected that the operating field (14) is exposed to a greater pressure than the pressure threshold value: outputting of at least one confirmation signal by means of the operating field (14); wherein by means of a detection device, the size of a contact area (22, 22′) of the actuating element (12) that touches the operating field (14) is detected; the confirmation signal is output only if, during the pressure exertion on the operating field (14), it is detected that the contact area (22, 22′) of the actuating element (12) has been changed by a predetermined factor. The invention furthermore relates to a unit with an operating system (10).

Abstract: An operating device of a motor vehicle has at least one display unit for displaying changeable information. Gaze detection is used to check whether the operator's gaze is directed at the at least one display unit. An input command in a first group of input commands is not executed if the operator's gaze is not directed at the at least one display unit for a certain time period during the input command. For a second group of input commands, the input command is executed irrespective of gaze detection.

Abstract: A control device in a motor vehicle receives a signal from a sensor device which includes at least one image of the current interior situation. The control device generates a superimposition signal containing the at least one image of the current interior situation and transmits the superimposition signal to a display element of a display apparatus. The display apparatus superimposes the at least one image of the current interior situation onto predefined output content output to a user.

Abstract: In displaying content superposed in a visual field of a vehicle occupant by a display device worn on the head of the vehicle occupant, vehicle regions are specified on which content must not be superposed. Alternatively, only content that is redundant with respect to content currently displayed within the vehicle regions may be superposed on the restricted vehicle regions.

Abstract: A virtual environment simulation system produces images of a virtual environment that are displayed by a head-mountable display device. A physical operating element enables a user to operate the motor vehicle simulation system which is designed to present a virtual operating element in the images of the virtual environment from a perspective emanating from a virtual site. A relative position between the display device and the physical operating element is taken into account during the image production in such a way that the virtual operating element is presented at a location in the virtual environment, the location having the same relative position in relation to the virtual site as the physical operating element in relation to the display device.

Abstract: In a motor vehicle having a plurality of display devices, a gaze direction of a driver of the motor vehicle is detected and used to check whether the driver has directed his gaze to a display region of the display devices for at least a predefined gazing duration. If the gaze has been directed to one of the display regions of one of the display devices for at least the predefined gazing duration, an interaction mode of an operating device for controlling the relevant display device is activated. An extended gazing duration which is longer than the predefined gazing duration is predefined for at least one of the display devices and for this display device, the interaction mode is activated only if it has been detected that the gaze of the driver has been directed to the display region of this display device for at least the extended gazing duration.
