Abstract: The invention describes a controller for data processing in bidirectional adhoc-network radio communication with a computation unit for data processing and ports for data input and data output. The computation unit is set up to process the data according to the ITS standard, wherein the data processing is limited to processing steps of the ITS Facility layer, which performs content-oriented evaluation and/or conditioning of the data which are received or need to be sent by means of the bidirectional adhoc-network radio communication, and a first wideband communication port is provided at least for receiving the data from an ITS communication unit for the purpose of bidirectional adhoc-network radio communication.

Abstract: A network system for motor vehicles, including at least two differently structured subnetworks which each have a data connection, the network layers of the at least two differently structured subnetworks having a similar structure. The protocol of the network layer is preferably the Internet Protocol.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the input and display of information, data and/or input elements in drop-down menus of graphical user interfaces, the drop-down menus or layered menu levels having a number of menu items of any type, the number of menu items comprising at least a number of menu items which may be selected and deselected in any combination in the form of a check box list and/or mutually exclusive and thus merely switchable menu items in the form of a radio button list, the menu item in the form of a check box list and the menu item in the form of a radio button list respectively comprising its own significant status recognition describing the character of the menu item in the drop-down menu and in the layered menu.

Abstract: System and a method by means of which different windows of an Multi Document Interface (MDI) application can be displayed at the same time within an application on several screens. In addition, instances of the source frame of the MDI application are displayed on further screens and the windows of the application with the corresponding documents can then be displayed in the sequence frame instances of the MDI application. In this way, the display of the parallel side-by-side arrangement of several windows on several screens is possible, the resolution of the window being adapted to the screen resolution.

Abstract: The invention relates to a scrolling facility for moving information (I) shown in a display area (3), with recognition means for identifying higher-ranking elements (1) from the displayed information (T) and fixing means for fixing the position (Fix) of at least one higher-ranking element within the display area, with the fixing means being embodied such that the at least one higher-ranking element remains fixed while at least one of the subordinate elements (2) assigned to the higher ranking element (1) is visible in the display area (3).

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for displaying information, data and/or input elements on an interface (4), in particular on a screen, with at least one register (1) for displaying a subset of information, data and/or input elements, with the at least one register having a selectable, sensitive area on the interface and with means for showing the content (2) of the at least one register (1) on selection of the sensitive area (11) of the register (1).

Abstract: An automation system includes at least one automation object, with a directory for storing object names of the at least one automation object. An object name is assigned a directory entry which includes first information data as a reference to the automation object; second information data as a description of technological functionality; and third information data as a description of interfaces of the automation object. This results in immediate and permanent access to currently created (partial) solutions, so that parallel and/or distributed working on automation objects is possible.

Abstract: An automation system with at least one automation object having a first component for generating a system functionality, a second component for generating a base functionality, and a third component for managing at least one module. Each module has a first module component for generating a system functionality, a second module component for generating a base functionality and a third module component for generating a technological functionality.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the automatic retrieval of engineering data from installations. The engineering and runtime objects are described by a uniform object model. This allows the correspondence between engineering objects and runtime objects to be determined at object level and no information is lost as a result of the mapping. In addition, a direct communication between engineering and runtime objects can take place, which can be utilized when the method is carried out.

Abstract: A software tool which simplifies the monitoring of faults in an automation device. On a display device (FIG. 3), a rack (0?-3?) of this automation device with slots and functional modules is represented in a first view (4) in graphic form and in a second view (9) in tabular form. A faulty slot and/or a faulty functional module is displayed in some manner of highlighted form ((F), 10, 11, etc.).

Abstract: In accordance with one aspect, a method for supporting a function call in an operating system is specified. In this method, a function call triggered by the user is first determined and checked by the system to determine whether an object is selected for the application of the function. In addition, information is made accessible to the user if no object is selected; if an object is selected, a check is carried out to determine whether it is suitable for the application of the function; and if an object is selected which is not suitable for the application of the function, information relating thereto is made accessible to the user.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method, a computer program product and a system for providing user information on a screen for input fields which may be edited by a user. In order to make the user information rapidly and easily accessible for the user, the following method steps are proposed: recognition of a cursor positioned within an input field and automatic display of a display window with the user information, immediately after recognition of the cursor positioned within the input field.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the input and display of information, data and/or input elements in drop-down menus of graphical user interfaces, the drop-down menus or layered menu levels having a number of menu items of any type, the number of menu items comprising at least a number of menu items which may be selected and deselected in any combination in the form of a check box list and/or mutually exclusive and thus merely switchable menu items in the form of a radio button list, the menu item in the form of a check box list and the menu item in the form of a radio button list respectively comprising its own significant status recognition describing the character of the menu item in the drop-down menu and in the layered menu.

Abstract: The mouse cursor is moved over the register of a register dialog once a drop-and-drag action has been initiated, then the register under the mouse cursor is automatically moved to the foreground after a variable time interval, and the contents can thus be seen. Process of making the item visible is initiated just by locating the mouse over the register of the concealed registered dialog. The invention can be extended to normal mouse movements (that is to say that other than drag drop.) Dropping an object on to a drop destination in a concealed register of a register dialog for drag and drop actions and drag and drop between the registers of a tabbed dialog or the pages of a workbook (such as the various tables in Excel, for example.

Abstract: Permitting or prohibiting a drop is executed at the beginning of the drag-and-drop action initiated by the user, by mouse-clicking on the object to be dragged, for example. Thus, the drag-and-drop action is shown as a visual drop permission or prohibition in the relevant drop areas, such as a visual queue, for example, check mark, etc. In the preferred embodiment, and upon initiation of the action, the surface components display which areas, parts, elements or substructures can or cannot accept a given object or data element before a mouse pointer, arrow or cursor reaches or moves over the relevant areas, parts, elements or substructures.
