Abstract: A method for the contactless shifting of visual information includes detecting at least one viewing direction to detect visual information in a first display area, and a movement of a hand and/or a movement of a head of a user toward a second display area. After the detection of the visual information in the first display area, and after the detected motion indicating a shift, the visual information is shown in the second display area upon the completion of the pivoting movement or movements.

Abstract: The underlying aim of the disclosure, which relates to a method for recognizing software applications and user inputs is to indicate a solution by a recognition of a software application currently implemented by the user as well as inputs that have been made is made possible without additional interfaces provided by manufacturers of car operating systems. The aim is achieved in that the data decoded in the signal decoder is subjected to a first analysis, in which, by means of data stored in a database, an association of the decoded data with a known software application occurs.

Abstract: A system for information transmission in a motor vehicle and methods of operation are disclosed. A steering wheel, a dashboard with a cover, a dashboard display area with a dashboard display, and a display device arranged in the area of a windshield are provided in a passenger compartment of the motor vehicle. The system is designed for gesture recognition and comprises a gesture recognition unit with at least one gesture recognition sensor. The gesture recognition sensor is configured to detect movements in a perceivable gesture area. The gesture recognition sensor is arranged in the viewing direction of a vehicle driver, behind the steering wheel, under the cover in the dashboard display area. The dashboard display and the display device are designed for the representation of interactive menus.
