Abstract: In a method for adjusting a range of numerical values at an input device for configuration or selection of the components of an electrical drive system with regard to a parameter as numerical value, the input device has a display. On the display, a minimum value and spaced apart from it a maximum value are displayed variably for the numerical value, wherein the minimum value and the maximum value form or span between them a range of numerical values. By way of a zooming function, the minimum value and the maximum value can be altered, increased or reduced in such a manner that the adjusting of a range of numerical values can take place more easily and more accurately.

Abstract: The invention relates to the controlling of functions of an information and communication system in a vehicle by means of physical keys. A control unit for an information and communication system of a vehicle is equipped for receiving a sequence of sensor signals of different proximity sensors of corresponding different mechanical function keys, to which corresponding first functions are assigned. The control unit is further equipped for detecting a swiping event over the mechanical function keys, wherein a swiping event comprises the fact that the sequence of sensor signals corresponds to the sensor signals of proximity sensors of corresponding adjacent mechanical function keys. The control unit is further equipped for assigning corresponding second functions to the mechanical function keys when a swiping event is detected.

Abstract: An information handling system includes a tablet computer, which in turn includes a touch sensor, a sensor detector, and a processor. The sensor detector is configured to communicate with the touch sensor, and to detect a first fingerprint on the touch sensor. The processor is configured to communicate with the sensor detector, to determine that the first fingerprint is within a first zone of the touch sensor, to match the first fingerprint to a stored fingerprint for the first zone of the touch sensor, to determine a first input function associated with the first fingerprint based on the first fingerprint matching the stored fingerprint for the first zone, and to execute the first input function.
