Patent number: 10503747Abstract: A method and apparatus for operating a user interface is provided, in which a first user input is detected, and a confidence analysis is carried out. Different kinds of system responses are generated depending on the result of the confidence analysis, wherein a first kind of system response comprises a system output which requires a second user input, and a second kind of system response comprises the automatic selection of a database entry. A third kind of system response comprises the first and second features, wherein the third kind of system response automatically changes into the first or second kind of system response after the expiry of a period of time. In this case, one of the two first kinds can be set as a standard or “default,” into which the automatic change then takes place after expiry of the period of time without further user interaction.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2016Date of Patent: December 10, 2019Assignee: Volkswagen AGInventors: Peter Oel, Moritz Neugebauer, Michael Mischke, Christoph Waeller, Lorenz Bohrer, Jens Ehrke, Gordon Seitz, Stefan Schulz, Imke Gaus, Oliver Meyer

Multimode user interface of a driver assistance system for inputting and presentation of information
Patent number: 9103691Abstract: In a method for multimode information input and/or adaptation of the display of a display and control device, input signals of different modality are detected which are supplied via the device to a voice recognition unit, thus initiating a desired function and/or display as an output signal, which are displayed on the device and/or output by voice output. Touch and/or gesture input signals are provided on or to the device for selection of an object intended for interaction and activation of the voice recognition unit and for the vocabulary which is provided for interaction to be restricted with the selection of the object and/or activation of the voice recognition unit as a function of the selected object, on the basis of which a voice command from the restricted vocabulary is added to the selected object as an information input and/or for adaptation of the display, via the voice recognition unit.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 2008Date of Patent: August 11, 2015Assignee: VOLKSWAGEN AGInventors: Christoph Wäller, Moritz Neugebauer, Thomas Fabian, Ulrike Wehling, Günter Horna, Markus Missall -
Patent number: 8954273Abstract: A navigation system, in particular for a motor vehicle, for determining a route to a destination, wherein the navigation system includes an input device for alphanumeric input of the destination and a display for displaying changing information and includes a processing unit for displaying potential destinations in a representation of a map by means of the display during input of the destination.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2012Date of Patent: February 10, 2015Assignee: Volkswagen AktiengesellschaftInventors: Moritz Neugebauer, Gordon Seitz, Stefan Schulz, Imke Gaus, Oliver Meyer
