Patent number: 10728258Abstract: A person is automatically identified by a detection device of an observation apparatus. The identified person is shown a personalized symbol. A control action by the person causes data to be retrieved from a personal data source associated with the person and presented on a display panel. The presentation is stopped at the latest when the person leaves a sensing range of the detection device. This allows a particularly convenient and simple data use.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2017Date of Patent: July 28, 2020Assignee: AUDI AGInventors: Joris Mertens, Georg Haslinger, Markus Klug, Edwin Ollefers, Jacques Hélot

Patent number: 10607526Abstract: A first sensor device detects a viewing direction of a user, who is located in an interior of the motor vehicle, onto a display surface of a motor vehicle. A control unit of the motor vehicle determines a display parameter of a digital image subject to the detected viewing direction, specifying an absolute pictorial configuration of the digital image. The determination of the display parameter is based on the viewing direction of the user onto the absolutely pictorial configuration of the digital image, such that a relative, perspective-related configuration of the digital image is obtained so that the relative, perspective-related configuration corresponds to a target configuration of the digital image. The control unit generates the digital image as a function of the determined display parameter and the digital image is then displayed on the display surface.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 2017Date of Patent: March 31, 2020Assignee: AUDI AGInventors: Joris Mertens, Georg Haslinger, Jacques Hélot, Markus Klug

Publication number: 20180354367Abstract: The invention relates to a vehicle having a detection device for detecting a property of a vehicle occupant and an operator control and display device which is coupled to the detection device, has a display region and is configured to display information in the display region and by means of which a symbol can be displayed in the display region as a function of the sensed property. It is provided here that the property which is detected by means of the detection device is a position of the vehicle occupant, and the operator control and display device is configured to display the symbol in a partial region of the display region which is determined as a function of the detected position, and to assign the symbol to the vehicle occupant in such a way that when there is a change in position of the vehicle occupant that the symbol follows the vehicle occupant. The invention also relates to a method for operating such a vehicle. The invention makes particularly flexible use of the vehicle possible.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 29, 2017Publication date: December 13, 2018Applicant: AUDI AGInventors: Joris MERTENS, Georg HASLINGER, Edwin OLLEFERS, Markus KLUG

Patent number: 10005389Abstract: A plurality of indicator field elements and a mechanical device are included in an indicating apparatus disposed in an interior of a motor vehicle. Each indicator field element is bounded by an edge, wherein the mechanical device is configured to position the indicator field elements in at least two positions relative to one another and to arrange at least two indicator field elements directly next to one another in at least one position. The edges of the at least two indicator field elements arranged directly next to one another contact at a common boundary in the at least one position and form a common indicator field which comprises the at least two indicator field elements.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2016Date of Patent: June 26, 2018Assignee: AUDI AGInventor: Markus Klug

Publication number: 20180012562Abstract: The invention relates to a method for operating an interactive visibility screen on a transparent pane of a pane device, in particular in a motor vehicle. The visibility screen is generated by means of a display unit of the pane device on the pane by pixel-wise fade-in of opaque image points, wherein the image points form a coherent visibility screen area. In the method, an operational action by the user is first detected by means of a detection device, which comprises a selection of a setting range and a movement relative to the pane. Subsequently, an expansion of the visibility screen area at the setting range is set as a function of the detected movement by means of a control device.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 1, 2017Publication date: January 11, 2018Applicant: AUDI AGInventors: Joris MERTENS, Georg HASLINGER, Jacques HÉLOT, Markus KLUG

Patent number: 9550331Abstract: A method for producing a composite molded part from fiber-reinforced plastics material includes providing a prepreg semi-finished product including fibers that are pre-impregnated with a matrix material and encasing the semi-finished product with a flexible sheet material to form an inner arrangement. The flexible sheet material includes a gas-permeable membrane and an inner planar gas-conducting element. The inner arrangement is encased with a first gas-tight casing and positioned on a molding surface of a mold. The inner arrangement and molding surface is encased with a second gas-tight casing. A first negative pressure is applied to the inner planar gas-conducting element and the inside of the first gas-tight casing, and the entire arrangement is heated for a first time at a first temperature. A second negative pressure is applied to an inside of the second gas-tight casing and the entire arrangement is heated for a second time at a second temperature.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 2011Date of Patent: January 24, 2017Assignees: PREMIUM AEROTEC GMBH, EADS DEUTSCHLAND GMBHInventors: Llorenc Llopart Prieto, Rainer Neumaier, Jochen Scholler, Markus Klug
