Patent number: 10152223Abstract: System-initiated help is provided for operating an apparatus associated with a vehicle, in which alphanumeric characters and/or symbols can be selected using an operating device and can be assembled to form a character or function group and can be displayed in an input field on a first display device. A detection operation is carried out, on the basis of which it is detected whether the user inputs or must input a space in a next operating step with a predefinable degree of probability. If the detection operation has a positive result, assistance is displayed to the user on the first or second display device and/or is output to the user using the loudspeaker device. The assistance has an item of help information relating to how a space can be input in the apparatus using an operating action.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2014Date of Patent: December 11, 2018Assignee: AUDI AGInventors: Tahar Bouaziz, Michael Betz, Simone Paula

Patent number: 10078423Abstract: An operating unit is used to choose least alphanumeric characters and/or symbols and to combine them to form a character group. A display device displays selectable characters in a selection field and displays selected characters in an one input field. Data is stored in a storage unit. A data processing unit selects data from the data stored in the storage unit according to predefinable criteria, taking into consideration a chosen character and previously selected characters. A completion suggestion with at least one completion element is displayed in close proximity to the chosen character in the selection field, insofar as a possible completion of the chosen character and the previously selected characters.

Patent number: 9594951Abstract: A method operates an input apparatus for an electronic device in a motor vehicle. A sensing device senses a character trace from a user while the latter draws the character trace in order to input a character or a group of characters on an input surface of the sensing device. A first handwriting recognition device performs character recognition for the sensed character trace. A search device searches at least one database for at least one database entry in each case for a recognition result of the character recognition. To allow comprehensible device operation by handwriting recognition in a motor vehicle, the first handwriting recognition device ascertains a plurality of different recognition results for the character trace and the search device searches for at least one database entry in each case for each of the different recognition results.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2013Date of Patent: March 14, 2017Assignee: AUDI AGInventors: Tahar Bouaziz, Michael Betz
