Abstract: The present invention relates to a vehicle, which comprises a vehicle component for performing a vehicle function, at least one camera and a controller, the vehicle component being drivable with the aid of the controller, depending on the evaluation of the visual detection of a body part of a user with the aid of the camera, for the purpose of performing the vehicle function. To implement a vehicle function to be enabled with the aid of a camera for visually detecting a body part of a user of a vehicle with little complexity, it is proposed that the camera and the controller are designed and configured to carry out a further vehicle function, and the camera is drivable with the aid of the controller, depending on a triggering signal present at the controller for performing the visual detection of the body part of the user.

Abstract: A method for a user/vehicle interface of a vehicle, having an input unit for input of at least one user command of a user, an output unit for output of at least one selectable vehicle setting of the vehicle to the user, and a controller connected in a signal-transmitting manner to the input unit and to the output unit, wherein the at least one vehicle setting output by means of the output unit is selected by means of the controller as a function of the at least one user command entered by means of the input unit and implemented at least partially as a voice command. In order to further improve the operation of a user/vehicle interface of a vehicle by a user, a user identification unit for identification of the user and/or a driving condition identification unit for identification of a driving condition of the vehicle are additionally provided.

Abstract: A method of producing a ceramic-like surface (22) with sensory properties of the ceramic material on a substrate 10, comprising the following steps: Preparing at least one surface (12) of the substrate (10), Coating the prepared substrate surface (12) with a ceramic-like sensory layer (20) using a vapor-phase deposition method.

Abstract: A transparent component comprising glass or a glass-like material with an exterior surface. The exterior surface shows a reflection, which differs from the reflection of a background surface. The exterior surface as well as the background surface are partially or entirely reflective of incident light like a mirror and by the distance of the two surfaces from each other the reflection at the surfaces is reflected differently such that the reflection at the exterior surface appears at a different point than on the background surface. Thereby, a depth effect is generated.

Abstract: An operator control device with push buttons (1), in particular a remote key fob for motor vehicles. The operator control device comprises a housing and at least one push button (1), which is mounted in the housing in such a way that it can move between stops (2, 8), and which penetrates a cutout in the housing. The cutout is defined by an edge (6), wherein the edge (6) extends into the interior of the housing with at least one section.
