Abstract: A method for displaying the status of a heating or air conditioning device of a vehicle wherein a graphical object that depicts the vehicle is displayed by a display device of the vehicle, the status of the heating or air conditioning device is detected, and different statuses of the heating or air conditioning device are displayed by the display device by different depictions of vehicle surfaces. Also disclosed is a heating or air conditioning device for performing the method.

Abstract: In a method for multimode information input and/or adaptation of the display of a display and control device, input signals of different modality are detected which are supplied via the device to a voice recognition unit, thus initiating a desired function and/or display as an output signal, which are displayed on the device and/or output by voice output. Touch and/or gesture input signals are provided on or to the device for selection of an object intended for interaction and activation of the voice recognition unit and for the vocabulary which is provided for interaction to be restricted with the selection of the object and/or activation of the voice recognition unit as a function of the selected object, on the basis of which a voice command from the restricted vocabulary is added to the selected object as an information input and/or for adaptation of the display, via the voice recognition unit.

Abstract: A multifunction display and operating device of a motor vehicle and comprise a display device (4), a control unit linked to the display surface (6) for implementing a user interface and at least one detection unit (8). The user interface comprises at least one display and operating context, display information depending on the display context being represented in a context information area (21) in a display mode on a display surface (6) and additional, cross-context information being represented in a status information area (22), and a change into an operating mode is initiated by an actuating action detectable by the detection unit, additionally or alternatively representing operating information depending on the operating context in the context information area, a change to a selection operating mode is initiated by a further detectable actuating action, selection information linked to a selection of an operating parameter being displayed in the status information area.
