Abstract: An operator control system for a vehicle is provided, including an input unit, an output unit, and a speller application with which information can be input character-by-character into the operator control system. The speller application may include a plurality of language-dependent character sets from which a character set can be selected by selecting an operator control language.

Abstract: A control system for a motor vehicle having a manual operating means having a plurality of adjustment degrees of freedom for selecting and/or activating entries in a menu structure having a plurality of menu levels, and a screen display (2) having a plurality of display areas (210 to 250) for displaying the menu structure, the display areas (210 to 250) each having at least one field for displaying one of the entries, a plurality of entries (E3 to E11) being arranged in a first display area (230.2) which is in the form of a list in an active display area (210 to 250) on at least one menu level. An (n+1)th display area (230.3) can be activated and displayed by activating at least one of the entries (E1 to E11) in an nth display area (230.2).

Abstract: A control system for a motor vehicle having a manual actuating device with a plurality of degrees of freedom of adjustment for selecting and/or activating entries from a menu structure and a screen display (2) having a plurality of display areas (210 to 250) for displaying the menu structure, the display areas (210 to 250) each comprising at least one field for displaying one of the entries. In an activated display area (210 to 250) in at least one menu level, a first and/or a second of the plurality of degrees of freedom of adjustment of the manual actuating means for selecting and/or activating one of the entries corresponds to an orientation of the displayed entries, and a third and/or fourth degree of freedom of adjustment of the manual actuating device for exiting the active display area (210 to 250) is respectively orthogonal to the orientation of the displayed entries.

Abstract: A control system for a motor vehicle, including a manual actuating means with a number of degrees of freedom for selecting and/or activating entries in a menu structure and a screen display with display areas for displaying the menu structure. At least two degrees of freedom of the manual actuating means move a cursor for selecting and/or activating one of the entries in an active display area. A first degree of freedom corresponds to a turning movement, and in a clockwise direction about a z-axis a second degree of freedom corresponds to a turning movement in a counterclockwise direction about a z-axis. In addition, cursor movement in the active display area is effected by the first and/or second degree of freedom, depending on the orientation of the displayed entries.

Abstract: A control system for a motor vehicle, having a manual actuating means with a plurality of degrees of freedom of adjustment for selecting and/or activating entries in a menu structure with a plurality of menu levels and a screen display having a plurality of display areas for displaying the menu structure, the display areas each including at least one field for displaying one of the entries, wherein, in an active display area in at least one menu level, a plurality of entries are arranged in a display area which is configured as a list. At least one additional field for displaying the position of the currently selected entry in the list can be activated and displayed if a number of entries exceeds a maximum number of entries which can be displayed in the list.

Abstract: A control system for a motor vehicle has a manual actuator with degrees of freedom for selecting and/or activating entries in a menu structure with menu levels and a screen display having display areas for displaying the menu structure. Each of the display areas has at least field one for displaying one of the entries. In an active display area in at least one level of the menu structure, at least two entries are assigned to a settable parameter for setting with the manual actuator. A first entry is an analog display of the settable parameter, and a second entry is a digital display of the settable parameter.

Abstract: A device for controlling the representation of information on a vehicle screen includes an actuator which can be rotated about a longitudinal axis and deflected transversely with respect to the longitudinal axis. The portion (2) of the information which is represented on the vehicle screen displaced by a deflection movement of the actuator transversely with respect to the longitudinal axis (z), and discrete markable elements can be marked by a rotational movement of the actuator about the longitudinal axis. The information includes the discrete markable elements.
