Patent number: 10528245Abstract: A method for designating a subset of a basic set of data records stored in a memory unit and for visualizing at least a part of the designated subset on a display unit. To designate the subset on the display unit, at least two graphically delimited display regions are formed. Objects representing data records from the basic set are displayed in a first display region and the subset of objects designated or to be designated is assigned to a second display region. A subset is designated by highlighting at least one object in the first display region, moving the highlighted at least one object into the second display region and cancelling the highlighting. This allows a highly intuitive designation of a subset of datasets from a basic set. The designation method can be used particularly for generating playback lists of MP3 files.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2013Date of Patent: January 7, 2020Assignee: Volkswagen AGInventors: Michael Mischke, Manuel Joachim, Michael Wittkämper, Günter Horna

Patent number: 10237702Abstract: A method, a computer program, and an apparatus for a mobile device for adjusting communication via a mobile communication system. The method includes determining an imminent communication limitation of communication via a mobile communication system based on an anticipated position of the mobile device on a route which is traveled multiple times by the mobile device. The method calculates an anticipated temporal extent of the imminent communication limitation and adjusts the communication via the mobile communication system based on the anticipated temporal extent of the imminent communication limitation.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2017Date of Patent: March 19, 2019Assignee: Volkswagen AGInventors: Stefan Henze, Manuel Joachim, Kord H. Lühr, Gerd Penshorn, Anna Kureckova, Jochen Jencquel

Patent number: 10073596Abstract: A method for the operator control of at least one electronic device and/or application on a display device 10, for example in a motor vehicle, in which a plurality of selectable objects are presented, wherein the objects are displayed spatially in a two-dimensional landscape and are automatically filtered and/or sorted by a preselection with a gesture in front of or on the display device. Also disclosed is a device for carrying out the method having a display device, a touchpad, a processing device, a control device for gesture and handwriting recognition, and a memory for filtering and/or sorting a plurality of selectable objects.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 2012Date of Patent: September 11, 2018Assignee: VOLKSWAGEN AGInventors: Manuel Joachim, Michael Mischke, Michael Wittkämper

Patent number: 9597983Abstract: An arrangement for a vehicle interior having a first seat row, which includes at least one seat, and having a second seat row, which is disposed in the vehicle interior in front of or behind the first seat row and includes at least one seat, the first seat row being disposed in or on a plate which is rotatably supported in or on a floor of the vehicle interior. It is provided that at least one movably supported console is provided, and the console is movable along at least one rail, which is disposed in or on the floor of the vehicle, the rail having a multi-part design and being disposed in or on the plate, at least in areas.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2015Date of Patent: March 21, 2017Assignee: Volkswagen AktiengesellschaftInventors: Bjoern Strasdat, Manuel Joachim, Eva Berner, Sylvain Fischer, Thomas Drescher, Ralf Welp, Maximilian Barthel, Nils Sajonz

Patent number: 9594472Abstract: A method and an array for providing a user interface, in particular in a vehicle. In the method, at least one graphical object designated for interaction is depicted in a display area out of reach for the user. In a detection area that is spatially separated from the display area, a gesture of a user is captured and the graphical object interaction is selected. An interaction assigned to the gesture is carried out by the selected graphical object, wherein the position(s) of the selected graphical object during the interaction is/are out of reach for the user.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2012Date of Patent: March 14, 2017Assignee: VOLKSWAGEN AGInventors: Carl Aron Carls, Michael Wittkämper, Michael Mischke, Manuel Joachim

Patent number: 9533690Abstract: A method and a device for displaying vehicle parameters, which comprise at least a first and a second parameter is provided. A value of the first parameter and a value of the second parameter are determined and the value of the first parameter and the value of the second parameter are displayed on a display area. In addition, the value of the first parameter is changed and the change in the value of the first parameter at least in a first portion is converted into a change in the value of the second parameter. A first display element, via which the conversion of the change in the value of the first parameter into the change in the value of the second parameter is depicted graphically, is created on the display area.Type: GrantFiled: February 3, 2015Date of Patent: January 3, 2017Assignee: Volkswagen AktiengesellschaftInventors: Astrid Kassner, Manuel Joachim, Michael Mischke
