  • Patent number: 11803688
    Abstract: A secondary device for a sensor and/or information system, including a display and a control unit, is proposed. Predetermined interpretation instructions are stored in the control unit. The control unit is configured to wirelessly receive a display instruction containing at least one interpretation information and at least one text information. The control unit is configured to generate a graphic presentation containing the text information using the stored interpretation instructions on the basis of the interpretation information of the display instruction, and to display the graphic presentation by means of the display. Furthermore, a sensor and/or information system and a method of operating a sensor and/or information system are proposed.
