Abstract: A method for controlling the air-conditioning function of a transportation vehicle seat wherein a value of an air-conditioning parameter is set by an operating element which is moved from a null position in two opposite directions. The air-conditioning parameter controls the distribution of an air-conditioning function in different regions along a first direction indicated by the geometry of the transportation vehicle seat. The separate regions include at least one first and second region. A uniform distribution of the air-conditioning function is produced in the regions in the null position of the operating element. When the operating element is moved in one direction of the two opposite directions, the value of the air-conditioning parameter for at least one of the first and second regions remains constant and is changed for at least the other of the first and second regions. Also disclosed is a device for carrying out the method.

Abstract: A method for selecting an operating mode for a vehicle which has at least two operating modes. Graphics data of a graphic user interface are generated and output, wherein the graphic user interface includes a background display and at least two selectable control buttons, wherein the control buttons are each assigned to an operating mode of the vehicle. A selection of a control button is detected, and a control signal is generated and transmitted to a control device of the vehicle as a function of the operating mode assigned to the selected control button. The background display includes a display of a vehicle surface, wherein the displayed vehicle surface is formed as a function of the operating mode which is selected at the current time. Also disclosed is a system for selecting an operating mode for a vehicle.
