Abstract: Technologies and techniques for operating a navigation apparatus, wherein the navigation apparatus includes a display device and a control device for controlling the display device. A navigation suggestion for an upcoming traffic maneuver is output on the display device, and wherein at least one further navigation suggestion for at least one traffic maneuver following the upcoming traffic maneuver is output on the display device. The present disclosure also relates to a navigation apparatus.

Abstract: A method for selecting an object from a list. A portion of a list is displayed using graphical objects on a display surface and functions are assigned to each graphical object. The list is displayed as a stack in which a first graphical object is completely visible at the top of the stack, and other graphical objects are only partly visible perspectively behind the first graphical object, wherein one of the other graphical objects is selected by a selection operating process. The first graphical object displayed at the top of the stack disappears when a selection operating process has been detected such that one of the other graphical objects is displayed at the top of the stack after the first graphical object has disappeared, and the second graphical object is automatically selected so that the function assigned to the second graphical object is carried out.

Abstract: An energy management method for a vehicle having an energy store and consumers, in which the energy reserve in the energy store is detected and a predicted actual range of the vehicle is calculated, a graphic object which visualizes the predicted actual range is generated and displayed, a user input is detected with which a setpoint range is set in that the graphic object is changed by an input device, after the setting of the setpoint range, on the basis of the difference between the setpoint range and the predicted actual range it is calculated by which changes in state of at least one subset of the consumers the setpoint range can be achieved, and the calculated changes in state are output as a proposal. Also disclosed is an energy management device for carrying out this energy management method.

Abstract: A device for displaying a multitude of planar objects arranged in at least one stack, includes a display area, e.g., a touchscreen, for displaying the stack; a processing unit to generate and modify graphics data of the objects; and a proximity ascertainment device for detecting an operating element in a proximity region in front of the display surface or an input device. The processing unit is arranged such that the graphics data of the objects are generated so that the at least one stack is displayed on the display area in different display states, i.e., a first mode, preferably a pure display mode; a second mode, in which an operating element is detected in the proximity region in front of the display area or an input device; and a third mode, following the touching or selection of the display area or an object displayed on the display area.

Abstract: A method for providing an operating device in a vehicle, wherein graphic data are generated by a control device, targeting a display area such that a graphic object showing at least part of the earth's surface is displayed, that the illustration of the displayed part of the earth's surface is subdivided into geographic areas in different time zones, and that the position of an actuation object in front of or on the display area is captured. Depending on the captured position of the actuation object relative to the displayed geographic areas in different time zones in the depiction of the graphic object, a geographic area located in one single time zone is selected and is displayed in bold formatting, and the time zone of the selected geographic area is dedicated to at least one timer of the vehicle. Also disclosed is an operating device for carrying out the method.
