In response to the display of the message on the display device, to determine that the user looks away from the display device and, in response thereto, to hide the message.

Abstract: Proposed is a transportation vehicle, a user interface and a method for operating a user interface for a transportation vehicle. The method may comprise the steps of: defining a screen background graphic for a display device of the transportation means, automatically detecting a situation in which a predefined region of the wallpaper has been covered by an item of foreground content, and, in response thereto, automatically repositioning the wallpaper in relation to the foreground content for preventing the region from being covered by the foreground content.

Abstract: Disclosed are a user interface, a computer program product, a signal sequence, a transportation vehicle and a method for the multiple use of a display unit of a user interface included in a transportation vehicle. Said method may comprise the steps: displaying, on a first display unit, display elements representing a range of information; detecting the approach of a user, and in response thereto, displaying control elements representing a range of functions in place of the display elements.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an infotainment system, to a locomotion vehicle, and to a user interface. The user interface may comprise: an input device for detecting swipe gestures of a user guided by a structure in respect of two dimensions, called “finger strip” in the following, a display device, and an evaluating unit. The evaluating unit may be configured to evaluate swipe gestures detected by means of the finger strip for substantially continuously variable adjustment to an output variable and to evaluate tap inputs detected by means of the finger strip for selection and/or definition of favorites.

Abstract: An information reproduction system for a vehicle having an input device that receives a selection signal and a processor that produces a video or control signal, as a result of which a status bar arranged at an edge of a touch-sensitive display panel of a display device and a display area adjoining the status bar are reproduced on the touch-sensitive display panel by the display device on the basis of the video or control signal device. The selection signal has information about a starting point and an end point of a movement by a user that touches the display panel of the display device without interruption. The processor produces the video or control signal on the basis of the selection signal. The information reproduction system also has an output device that provides the video or control signal for a display device.

Abstract: An information playback system in a vehicle having a processor designed to generate a video or control signal and provide this signal to a display device so that the video or control signal causes a playback of at least two different contents in two adjoining subsurfaces of a display surface in a display device. The processor generates the video or control signal so that a boundary between the two subsurfaces can be shifted based on a selection detected by the display unit, or based on an approach detected by a display unit, or based on a predefined movement detected by an input device, resulting in modification of the ratio of the surface portions of the two subsurfaces on the display surface of the display device.
