  • Patent number: 11086639
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for processing a user input in a vehicle, in which a suitable subset is selected based on a result of an evaluation of the user input from a superset of personal data records. For each data record of the subset, a frequency value is then determined corresponding to a respective frequency of use. The subset is output to the user adapted to the frequency values. In order to offer a particularly efficient operability, it is provided that the superset is retrieved from a mobile terminal and stored in a memory device of the vehicle before the subset is selected. For adapting the output to the user, the determined frequency values of the data records of the subset are checked for a predetermined selection criterion, at the fulfillment of which the data record with the highest frequency value is determined as a VIP data record and marked and/or preselected upon an output to the user.
