Patent number: 11061562Abstract: A method for providing haptic feedback to an operator of a touch-sensitive display device. The method includes providing an operator interface to be represented in the display device as image data; the operator interface having at least one button assigned to a function to be controlled, graphically displayed in the operator interface, and graphically delimited from the rest of the operator interface; analyzing the image data for a presence and a position of shapes for representing a button; determining an intended display region of a shape, which is to be represented and is identified as a button; representing the image data of the operator interface in the touch-sensitive display device; outputting haptic feedback in response to detection of contact with the touch-sensitive display device in the region of a surface of the touch-sensitive display device which is assigned to a display region of a shape identified as a button.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2018Date of Patent: July 13, 2021Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Holger Kussmann, Ingo Hermanns, Markus Langenberg, Werner Poechmueller

Patent number: 8279087Abstract: A method for determining a parking spot including at least the following steps: measuring a parking spot and outputting a measured length of the parking spot; comparing the determined length to at least one limiting value and determining an indicator signal; outputting the indicator signal to the driver; recording vehicle dynamics signals, during a parking operation; evaluating the parking operation on the basis of the recorded vehicle dynamics signals and outputting an evaluation signal, and changing the at least one limiting value as a function of the evaluation signal and the indicator signal. An adaptive parking spot measurement is created in which an evaluation of the parking spot length is automatically adapted to the driving behavior and the driving skills of the respective driver, resulting in a particularly high degree of acceptance of the PSM system by the driver.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 2004Date of Patent: October 2, 2012Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Peter Knoll, Andreas Engelsberg, Dietrich Manstetten, Holger Kussmann, Lars Placke, Marc Stoerzel, Ulrich Schweiger, Wei-Chia Lee

Patent number: 7391305Abstract: A driver warning device which serves to warn the driver when a safety-critical condition of the vehicle is reached. A warning is issued only if such issuance is to take place in accordance with a user profile. This avoids unnecessary warnings from being issued to a driver, which could reduce the acceptance of the warning system on the part of the driver.Type: GrantFiled: August 19, 2004Date of Patent: June 24, 2008Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Peter Knoll, Andreas Engelsberg, Dietrich Manstetten, Holger Kussmann, Andre Kroehnert, Lars Placke, Marc Stoerzel, Ulrich Schweiger, Stephan Eisenlauer

Patent number: 7386134Abstract: An entertainment device has a control element with which a user may have equivalent data searched for and then played back by the entertainment device. The data currently being played back are examined for characteristic features, so that the search for equivalent data is then possible using these features. In particular, the actuation of the control element may be used to modify a user profile. In addition, it is possible for the data currently being played back to be stored in the entertainment device when the control element is actuated.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2002Date of Patent: June 10, 2008Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Andreas Engelsberg, Sven Bauer, Holger Kussmann, Michael Wollborn

Patent number: 7142696Abstract: An assistance device in a vehicle is described. The assistance device may be used to create a user profile for a driver and to call up the user profile to perform the settings on the various components. The assistance device may include a computer, which may be connected to means for person recognition. Connected data sources, means for representation, means for data reception, an air conditioning system, and a control system for person-specific variable components of the vehicle may be adjusted according to the user profile of the respective driver. The computer may as an alternative be connected to other components over a bus. The user profile may be altered according to a user's most recent settings.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2000Date of Patent: November 28, 2006Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Andreas Engelsberg, Sven Bauer, Bernd Schmale, Holger Kussmann

Patent number: 7092873Abstract: For upgrading a data stream of multimedia data, which comprises features with textual description, a set of phonetic translation hints is included in the data stream, which specifies the phonetic transcription of parts or words of the textual description. The phonetic transcriptions need not be repeated for each occurrence of a word. This reduces the amount of data necessary for storing or transmitting the description text.Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 2002Date of Patent: August 15, 2006Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Andreas Engelsberg, Holger Kussmann, Michael Wollborn, Sven Mecke, Andre Mengel

Patent number: 6735517Abstract: A navigation method for a motor vehicle is described, the purpose of which is to display an arrow as a directional symbol on a windshield as a function of signals from a viewing direction recognition device, with the directional information being determined by a navigation device When approaching a turn-off to be selected, the arrow moves in the direction of the turn-off. In addition, the arrow becomes shorter and/or changes color and/or its flashing frequency. A rotation of the arrow on the windshield as a function of the stipulated route is also possible. The projection apparatus, to which the navigation device is connected, has means for placing the arrow in the field of vision of the driver.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2002Date of Patent: May 11, 2004Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Andreas Engelsberg, Sven Bauer, Holger Kussmann

Patent number: 6675075Abstract: A device for presenting data in a vehicle as a function of the direction of view of the driver. The device includes a computing device, arrangements for the optical and/or acoustical presentation, an arrangement for the recognition of the driver's direction of view and various data sources. The arrangement for the recognition of the driver's direction of view transmits to computing device the measured direction of view of the driver, so that computing device transmits this direction of view to arrangements for the optical and/or acoustical presentation, so that the presentation of data from the various data sources is made visible in the driver's field of view. This may lead to increased safety in street traffic, since distraction of the driver by the various data of the data sources is greatly reduced.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2002Date of Patent: January 6, 2004Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Andreas Engelsberg, Sven Bauer, Bernd Schmale, Holger Kussmann
