Abstract: A method for operating an operating system which generates and displays a graphical user interface. The graphical user interface includes a first representation with a front side representation of a planar graphical object. An operating action for the graphical object is detected and a transition animation is generated and displayed. Following the transition animation, a second representation with a rear side representation of the graphical object is displayed, the transition animation includes a rotation, shown in perspective, of the graphical object about an axis, and the rear side representation of the graphical object assuming a smaller area than the front side representation. The second representation also includes an information region, and the representation of the graphical object is made smaller during the transition animation. Also disclosed is an operating system having a control unit, a display surface, and a detection unit.

Abstract: A method for operating an operator control system, in which graphics data of a graphical user interface are produced, wherein the graphical user interface has a user interface extent along a first direction and a display unit displays a detail of the graphical user interface, wherein the detail has a detail extent along the first direction. The operator control system has at least two states, wherein each state has an associated specific detail of the graphical user interface. When one of the at least two states of the operator control system is activated, the detail of the graphical user interface associated with the activated state is displayed, and a state information element is actuated so the activated state of the operator control system is output. The state information element includes an outline of a geometric figure and the activated state is a basis for highlighting a segment of the outline.

Abstract: A method for controlling a motor vehicle comfort system, wherein the control is carried out with the aid of a touch-sensitive display and user interface assigned to the comfort system. In at least one operating mode, the virtual representation of at least one body having a three-dimensional appearance is generated in a first position on the touch-sensitive display and user interface and at least one function that can be executed by the comfort system is represented on the surface of the body, wherein the body is moved after rotating around a horizontal or vertical axis into another position in which at least one other function which can be executed by the comfort system is represented on the visible surface of the body.

Abstract: A user interface and a method for adapting semantic scaling of a tile to a display unit of a user interface are provided. The method includes displaying a first tile including a first plurality of command buttons, detecting a user command to enlarge the display of the first tile and in response thereto, displaying an enlarged display of the first tile including a second plurality of command buttons.

Abstract: A method for an entertainment system of a vehicle wherein a distance between the vehicle and a further vehicle is determined, and a symbol for the vehicle and a symbol for the further vehicle are displayed on a display device of the vehicle on the basis of the distance between the vehicle and the further vehicle. Actuation of a user control element is detected after the symbol for the further vehicle has been displayed. An actuation signal is received from the further vehicle indicating that a user of the further vehicle has actuated a corresponding control element of the further vehicle on account of a symbol for the further vehicle and a symbol for the vehicle being displayed on a display device of the further vehicle.
