Abstract: For retrofitting an infotainment system of a motor vehicle which has the option of operating using voice commands, such voice commands are subsequently defined in an SCXML file. The voice commands are assigned state transitions, which are intended to run through the functional devices after the corresponding voice command is received. The SCXML file is interpreted by an interpreter.

Abstract: A vehicle receives a script with a command for graphically designing a display and a command for reading a data value from a memory of the vehicle. The script is executed by an interpreter, as a result of which the data value is read from the memory and a display is provided on a display device. The graphical design of the display is prescribed by the script and contains a partial presentation determined by the data value. The use of scripts provides a particularly high level of flexibility for the graphical presentation.

Abstract: A method ensures that message traffic runs smoothly during the transmission of messages from a plurality of data sources in a data network to a vehicle connected to the data network via a mobile radio interface. Messages are sent out to the vehicle from a plurality of data sources in a data network, in particular the Internet, and the messages are not delivered directly to the vehicle, but rather to a server device of the data network, where the messages are each assigned one of a plurality of predetermined message classes by the server device and messages of a first message class are immediately transferred to the vehicle by the server device, messages of a second message class are saved in the server device and messages of a third message class are deleted. A server device coupled to a data network works with the method.

Abstract: In order to provide additional functionalities in an infotainment system of a motor vehicle, a method for providing a signal output, in which a main file is transmitted that refers to secondary files and indicates an identifier related to each secondary file. The identifier can be calculated upon receipt of the main file (for example in the motor vehicle) for a secondary file already provided in the motor vehicle and compared with the identifier contained in the main file. Thus, the secondary file does not need to be downloaded every time, but can be provided in a buffer memory. The identifier shows if the secondary file provided is the most recent version thereof.
