Embodiment Construction

[0034] refer to figure 1 , figure 2 with image 3 An exemplary embodiment of the device 1 according to the invention and its arrangement in the interior 3 of the vehicle 2 are explained.

[0035] The device 1 comprises a display device 4 on which a plurality of graphical objects 7A to 7F can be displayed. Graphical objects 7A to 7F are designed as switching elements which can be operated by contacting display surface 12 with operating element 10 (for example a finger). For this purpose, the display surface 12 is equipped with a touch-sensitive surface.

[0036] Furthermore, the display device 4 is arranged in the interior 3 of the vehicle 2 in such a way that it can be lowered into the interior panel 9 , which in the exemplary embodiment belongs to the instrument panel 16 of the vehicle 2 . This is indicated by arrow 8 . The display device 4 can be lowered manually (for example by the driver pressing a button) or automatically depending on the driving mode. A display ar...

Abstract

The invention relates to a method and a device (1) for providing a graphical user interface in a vehicle (2). In the method according to the invention, in a first operating mode of the display device (4), the graphical objects (7A-7F) are displayed fully visible on the display surface (12), wherein the graphical objects (7A-7F) Split into a first set (13.1) of graphical objects (7A-7C) and a second set (13.2) of graphical objects (7D-7F). In a second operating mode of the display device (4), the display area (12) is reduced, wherein the display area (12) is divided into a visible part (12.1) and an invisible part (12.2), so that the first After the operating mode transitions into the second operating mode, the graphic objects (7A-7C) of the first set (13.1) are completely displayed on the visible part (12.1) of the display surface (12) while the second set (13.2) Graphics objects (7D-7F) are at least partially not displayed on the visible part (12.1) of the display surface (12). Furthermore, in the second operating mode, an operating action by the user is detected ( 17 ). If an operating action is detected, the graphic objects (7D-7F) of the second set (13.2) are arranged on the display surface (12) such that at least one of the graphic objects (7D-7F) of the second set (13.2) is completely is displayed on the visible part (12.1) of the display surface (12).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method and a device for providing a graphical user interface in a vehicle. Background technique [0002] It is known to provide a display device in a vehicle so that its display surface can be made smaller. Here, the reduction of the display area often takes place by sinking the display device into a component of the vehicle (usually the instrument panel). If the vehicle has such a sinkable display device, only a smaller display area is still available in the lowered state of the display device. Only a small amount of display content can then be displayed on this reduced display area. Alternatively, however, it is also always possible to display all display content. However, it must then be shown on a reduced scale. However, this can lead to a display that is only difficult to read. [0003] Document US 2003 / 0128103 A1 describes a retractable indicator having two sub-displays. In this case, the first sub-display is visi...
