Abstract: A method for controlling at least one driver interaction system. The method includes reading-in data regarding at least one body part of a driver of the vehicle and an interaction signal which represents a detected interaction of the driver, including at least one operating unit for operating a driving function of the vehicle. The method also includes carrying-out a classification of the interaction of the driver as purposeful or incidental by utilizing the data. Moreover, the method includes generating a control signal for controlling at least one driver interaction system as a function of a result of the classification.

Abstract: A method for classifying driver movements in order to ascertain the driver's degree of attentiveness during the driving a motor vehicle, using an interior compartment camera for recording at least a part of the driver. Based on the recording, a movement quantity that represents a head movement of the driver is evaluated, and a driver movement is classified as a safety view if the movement quantity corresponds to a defined condition.

Abstract: A method for controlling illumination of operational controls in a motor vehicle, using a passenger-compartment camera for photographing a driver, in which a visual perception capability of the driver is determined with the aid of the passenger-compartment camera, and in which the illumination of an operational control is adjusted as a function of the visual perception capability of the driver.

Abstract: A method is described for operating a vehicle, including the following steps: ascertaining a collision probability for the vehicle, ascertaining an effectiveness parameter assigned to a restraint system of the vehicle, which is a measure of how effectively the restraint system may protect a vehicle occupant in the event of a collision assigned to the collision probability, and carrying out at least one injury-mitigating measure depending on the ascertained effectiveness parameter in order to mitigate an occupant injury during a collision. Also described are a corresponding device and a computer program.

Abstract: A method for placing an emergency call in a vehicle, in which vital data characterizing the condition of the occupant are detected via sensors and the vital data are sent with the emergency call.

Abstract: A method for voice controlling of a device or of a system in a motor vehicle, the device or the system being capable of being operated both by voice inputs and also by non-voice inputs, in particular through the actuation of switches and/or buttons and/or a touch screen, and in which the user of the device or system, in particular the driver of the motor vehicle, is alerted optically and/or acoustically and/or haptically that voice operation of the device or system is possible, dependent on the presence or absence of particular predefined conditions. In addition, the present invention relates to a device or system for supporting the voice controlling of a device or system in a motor vehicle, with which this method is able to be executed.

Abstract: A voice recognition device, where at least two input signals are routed in parallel via respective, separate channels to a recognition device having a feature extraction device for forming feature vectors, a transformation device for forming transformed feature vectors, and having a subsequent classification unit that classifies the supplied, transformed feature vectors and emits output signals corresponding to the determined classes. A high rate of recognition at a relatively low expenditure for the design and processing are achieved in that the feature extraction device has feature extraction stages separately arranged in the individual channels, the feature extraction stages being connected at their outputs to the shared transformation device.
