With regard to the on-board facilities 2 using the operating system 1 can be operated and / or data and / or information using the display device 4 can be represented, there are no particular restrictions. As non-exhaustive examples of suitable on-board facilities 2 may be mentioned here a satellite-based navigation system, a car phone, a radio, a multi-media device, a device for mobile Internet access, an on-board computer, a parking assistant, air conditioning, a sunshade device (such as to control the light transmission a glass roof or for the electrical adjustment of sun blinds), a memory device (for an individual adjustment of the seats, steering column and exterior mirrors, etc.), a vehicle tuning device (for individual adjustment of the characteristics of engine, transmission, steering, etc.) , Etc.

Also in terms of the operating device 3 There are no special restrictions. operating devices 3 involved in the operating system 1 can be used. are a touchpad, a touchscreen (touch-sensitive screen), a turntable, a rotary-push-dial, a "joy-stick", facilities for voice control, facilities for operation by means of gestures (finger gestures, hand gestures, etc.), etc. The operating system 1 can have multiple controls 3 and the various operations on the operating system 1 can with different of the controls 3 respectively.

There are no special restrictions with regard to the "operator action (s)". For example. For example, operator actions may include touching a touch-sensitive surface (touchpad, touch-sensitive screen) using one or more fingers, single and multiple jogging operations on the touch-sensitive surface, or a switching device (corresponding to the keys of a "computer mouse"), rotating a spin-push button. Stellers and / or pressing the rotary-push-button transversely or along its axis of rotation, a deflection of a joy stick from its basic position and / or pressing the joy stick in a predetermined direction, voice commands, an execution of one or multiple gestures within a given space area, etc.

As a display device 4 of the operating system 1 Any type of display device with which data and / or information can be displayed or displayed in a graphic manner can be used. As a "graphical" representation or display are to be understood as those with the data and / or information in the form of images (also pictograms, symbols), moving images (animations) and / or (static and / or animated) alphanumeric characters represented or . are displayed.

Preferred, non-exhaustive examples of one for the operating system 1 suitable display device 4 are a screen (display), a head-up display or a data glasses. In particular, with the last two mentioned display devices an "augmented reality effect" can be achieved, ie that the display is displayed in a representation of the real environment or displayed within the field of view of the driver.

Also in terms of the control device 5 There are no special restrictions and this may be a component of the display device 4 or a separate component. The communication between the controller 5 and the at least one vehicle-side device 2 , the operating device 3 and the display device 4 can be done in any suitable manner, such as wired, wireless, via a bus system (such as CAN), etc. If the communication is wireless, such as when the operating system 1 includes a data goggles, it can be used for this short-range wireless technology, for example, according to one of the Bluetooth ^® - or WLAN standards, or by infrared light. The wireless communication is encrypted for security in a preferred manner.

In the means of the display device 4 displayed data and / or information may be edited and unprocessed data / information. Processed data are those in which "raw data" has been processed by means of a suitable computer program, for example to calculate from the current fuel stock and the current consumption a prediction of a remaining range, from the digital map data and one into the satellite-based navigation system entered route to calculate a representation of the recommended route, etc. For unprocessed data / information will be the data / information provided by an on-board facility 2 be retrieved or provided by it, displayed without further processing, such as the entries from an address book of a car phone, the settings of an air conditioner, etc.

The display device 4 has a display area that is at least in a first 6 and a second 7 Subarea is divided, as shown schematically in the figures. This can be an actual subdivision between the first 6 and second 7 Be given partial area, such that about the display device 4 Has at least two separate, but immediately adjacent to each other arranged screens. In general, the display device 4 the different sections 6 . 7 However, be realized only by means of a freely programmable surface.

In the second subarea 7 the display area of the display device 4 , as mentioned above, from the first subarea 6 is different, displayed, several by means of the operating device 3 selectable icons 8th . 9 may be, for example, to icons. Icons usually contain a pictogram, ie a simplified graphical representation of an information.

Every symbol 8th . 9 represents a vehicle-mounted device 2 or an application for a vehicle-side device 2 , Regarding the on-board facilities 2 apply the above statements, which vehicle-mounted devices by means of the operating system 1 can be operated accordingly. An application is an application software with which at least part of the data (sub-data set) of and / or information about a vehicle-side device 2 in the second subarea 7 can be displayed. In addition, an application may have additional functions, such as providing the ability to adjust settings on a vehicle-mounted device 2 make. There may be per vehicle-side device 2 several applications exist. For example, for a satellite-based navigation system besides the application "route calculation" other applications may be present, such as the selection / display of places of interest (POI), the selection / display of previously selected destinations, the selection / display of traffic impairments (via the traffic Message Channel TMC), etc. In a car phone, for example, applications may be present for displaying stored in the memory of the car phone contact information, to view the last calls, to display received short messages, etc. In a multi-media system, applications for Displaying the multi-media data stored in a memory (music, movie, photos, etc.), displaying "playlists", displaying information regarding the radio station (RDS) being received, etc.

The spatial arrangement of the display of the plurality of symbols and the data / information in the second subarea 7 the display area of the display device 4 is not subject to any special restrictions. However, it is preferred that the control device 5 is set up in the second subarea 7 the symbols 8th . 9 in a horizontal arrangement and the data of and / or information 10 with respect to the selected by the respective symbol 8th represented on-board facility 2 or application above or below the symbols 8th . 9 display, or in a vertical arrangement, and the data of and / or information 10 with respect to the selected by the respective symbol 8th represented on-board facility 2 or application next to the symbols 8th . 9 display.

As far as the "horizontal" and "vertical" arrangement of the symbols is spoken, it should be understood not only a corresponding display in the strict sense of the word, but also a display in which the symbols are displayed in an arcuate manner, wherein in an installed state of the operating device 1 the first and the last displayed symbol are arranged on an imaginary horizontal or vertical line.

Also, in the operating system 1 be provided that in the event that a larger number of symbols should be on and selectable, as in the second subarea 7 of the display area can be displayed simultaneously in an at least sufficient size, by means of a predetermined operator action on the operating device 3 a horizontal or vertical scrolling of the symbols 8th . 9 is possible. Since a driver is to be provided with a simple structure and clarity of the displayed / available data / information with a simple menu navigation, it is preferred in many cases to dispense with such a horizontal or vertical scrolling.

One of the second section 7 displayed symbols 8th . 9 is a "selected" symbol 8th (first symbol), ie a symbol which is - however, not yet selected, according to the user interfaces known from personal computers.

So that a user can easily recognize which of the displayed symbols 8th . 9 the selected symbol 8th is, advantageously, the control device 5 continue to be set up the respectively selected symbol 8th display and / or indicate in a different way than the unselected symbols 9 , Non-conclusive examples of this include a representation / display of the selected symbol 8th in a different color, stronger brightness, and / or a different background than the unselected icons 9 , and / or with a border, in animated form, etc.

In the operating system 1 be simultaneously with the symbols 8th . 9 and also in the second subarea 7 Data from and / or information 10 in terms of the first symbol 8th represented on-board facility 2 or application displayed graphically in "a first way"("Preview").

In the operating system 1 can be provided in an advantageous manner that the control device 5 is further set up to display the icons 8th . 9 and the data and / or information 10 in the second subarea 7 only after a first predetermined operator action on the operating device 3 display.

According to this development, in a first mode only data / information in the first sub-area 6 the display area of the display device 4 displayed. Only after an operator action on the operating device 3 be in a second mode in the second subarea 7 the display area of the display device 4 Data / information displayed. This training operating system 1 has the advantage that a driver can determine whether he / she receives additional / additional data / information or not.

According to a simple development of the operating system 1 is the controller 5 set up according to a predetermined, possibly second, operator action by means of an operating device 3 through which a second symbol 9 on and the first symbol 8th is deselected in the second subarea 7 displayed data of and / or information relating to by the first symbol 8th hide on-board device or application, and simultaneously with the symbols 8th . 9 and also in the second subarea 7 Data from and / or information 10 in terms of the second symbol 9 represented on-board facility 2 or application in a first way.

This development of the operating system 1 represents a "switch" in the second subarea 7 Data / information displayed in the first way depending on the selected symbol 8th . 9 to disposal.

The operating system 1 can also be further developed in an advantageous manner that after a predetermined, optionally second, operating action by means of an operating device 3 through which a selected icon 8th is selected, the icons 8th . 9 in the second subarea 7 are hidden and the data from and / or information 11 in terms of by the selected icon 8th represented on-board facility 2 and / or application in a second way in the second subsection 7 are displayed.

Preferred examples of how the "first type" and "second type" display differ from each other are that the amount of displayed / displayed data and / or information (FIG. 10 . 11 ), the content of the displayed data and / or information ( 10 . 11 ) and / or the visual representation of the displayed data and / or information ( 10 . 11 ) differ from each other.

Since the display of the data / information in a "second kind" preferably has more space available than for the display of the data / information in a "first kind" (if the symbols 8th . 9 are hidden and the space originally required for this in the second subarea 7 the display area is now also available for the display of data / information), the data / information in the "second type", for example. With an enlarged compared to the "first type" font and / or additional / other data / information may be displayed in the "second type" than in the "first type". Alternatively or additionally, however, the optical representation of the data / information may also differ, for example in that the two types differ in that one of the two types (also) is a graphical presentation of the data / information (for example in the form of a diagram) ,

An example of a display of data / information in the first way would be the graphical representation of the current weather situation, for example, corresponding data are received by means of an in-vehicle Internet access and a relatively simple form by means of a schematic representation of the sun, clouds, rain clouds , as well as the current temperature are processed graphically. When switching (by selecting the corresponding icon 8th ) on a display in the second way, the display could, for example, toggle the display of the current cloud distribution by a predeterminable radius around the current position of the vehicle, and / or additional information, such as wind speeds, time of sunset, etc., could be displayed ,

Another example would be to display the current consumption as a display in the first way, and after switching to a display in the second way, the additional display of a remaining range and possibly further data that may be useful for the current ride for a driver, such as average speed, a call for a break, etc.

In the operating system 1 a user has the ability to select which vehicle-mounted device 2 Data / information in the first subarea 6 the display area of the display device 4 are displayed. For example. For example, a user may activate a satellite-based navigation system and be in the first subarea 6 Display navigation instructions and / or a map display of the proposed route. Another example would be that a user activates the vehicle's multi-media facility, with the first subset 6 the currently received radio station is displayed.

In this case, it can now be assumed in many cases that it is of interest for a user to be in the second subarea 7 To display data and / or information that has a content related to those in the first subarea 6 displayed data and / or information.

Therefore, in the operating system 1 be further advantageously provided that the control device 5 is further set up after turning on the operating system 1 , after the first operation on an operating device 3 for displaying the symbols, data and / or information in the second subarea 7 or automatically after a predefinable time has elapsed after a last operator action on the operating device 3 , a symbol 8th to dial and data from and / or information 10 with respect to the selected symbol 8th represented on-vehicle device and / or application to display in a first way, such that in the second sub-area 7 displayed data and / or information 10 further data from and / or further information regarding the vehicle-mounted device 2 or data of and / or information regarding an application for the on-vehicle device 2 included in the first subsection 6 Data and / or information to be displayed.

Through this development of the operating system 1 In many cases, helpful data and / or information are displayed to a user without the user having to undertake another operator action (scrolling through the symbols) for this purpose.

In the operating system 1 can be further provided that the above-described development is still modified so that left and / or right of or above and / or below the selected symbol 8th one or more other symbols 9 which are also additional (but of the selected symbol 8th different) data from and / or other information regarding the on-board device 2 or data of and / or information regarding an application for the on-vehicle device 2 represent. As a result, in many cases a user can be enabled to display data / information of interest to him by scrolling as briefly as possible through the symbols.

Finally, the operating system 1 be further developed that the control device 5 is set up for data and / or information displayed in the second way 11 to display a choice that by means of a control action on a control device 3 is actuated, such that after actuation of the selection option in the first sub-area 6 or second subarea 7 an operating option for a vehicle-side device 2 is shown. This option is possible in all cases, ie in the case of a selected symbol 8th a vehicle-side device 2 represents, as well as in the event that by a selected symbol 8th an application for a vehicle-side device 2 is represented.

This development of the operating system 1 offers the advantage of being in the second subarea 7 not only data / information is displayed, but also a choice (such as in the form of an icon), after its selection by an operator at an operating device 3 in an operating mode for a vehicle-mounted device 2 can be switched.

If, for example, a user is in the second subarea 7 Display petrol stations in the vicinity of a route currently being traveled and proposed by a satellite-based navigation system and in the second subarea 7 a selection option is displayed, it can change after operating the option in an operating mode for the satellite-based navigation system and can be calculated a changed route to a selected gas station. Another example would be if a user in the second subsection 7 View contact data stored in the car phone, he can change the selection option in an editing mode for the car phone and edit contact information there. And another of the non-exhaustive examples would be an advertisement in the second subset of data / information regarding the current settings of a vehicle tuning facility. After a selection of the corresponding symbol can then also about a choice for setting / adjusting the characteristics of engine, transmission, steering, etc. displayed and optionally selected.

An important feature is that the control device 5 is set up to display in the first subarea 6 independent of those in the second subarea 7 displayed symbols, data and / or information. This results in the great advantage that a driver can display additional / additional data / information without having to call up a special menu, without the menu call data / information that are currently displayed on a display device, at least partially hidden or covered and / or without requiring another menu call and navigation through various menu options or a number of "back" steps to re-display the originally displayed data / information.

In the operating system 1 become a user by selecting one of the in the second subsection 7 displayed symbols 8th . 9 Data / information displayed in a "first way" (Preview). By selecting the selected symbol 8th are preferably the symbols 8th . 9 hidden and the user the data / information in a second way in the second section 7 displayed, also preferably by the hiding the symbols 8th . 9 vacated space is used for the data / information displayed in the second way. An example of this is schematically in 3 shown.

After a predetermined period of time and / or after a further operator action on the operating device 3 is advantageously in the second portion 7 again the original (in 3 displayed as the upper display), that is, the symbols become again 8th . 9 and the data / information displayed in the first way. Now, for example, a user can select another icon and view the data / information displayed in the first way. If he wants to display the data / information currently displayed in the second way, he can do so by selecting the selected symbol 8th by an operator action on the operating device 3 to reach. The user can "click" or switch quickly and conveniently through the offered topics (data / information).

If, in the data / information displayed in the second way, a selection option is also displayed, the user has the further option of selecting a selection option (by means of another operating action on the operating device 3 ) in a "setting mode" for the respective vehicle-mounted device 2 switch.

As by the symbols also data / information from several applications for a vehicle-mounted device 2 can be displayed and optionally adjusted / adjusted by the operating system 1 to waive elaborate menus, deep menu structures and long menu lists. Nevertheless, a user is allowed to quickly find information, with each symbol selected 8th a "Preview" is displayed. From the "Preview" view, it is possible to switch to a "full view" of the data / information with just a single operator action.

In the operating system 1 can also be provided that the control device has a learning function, such that preferably such symbols 8th . 9 in the second subarea 7 displayed by a user on previous trips. It can also be provided that as a function of that in the first subarea 6 displayed data / information different symbols 8th . 9 in the second subarea 7 are displayed.

In the 1 to 3 are the first section 6 and the second subarea 7 the display area of the display device 4 shown horizontally arranged side by side. However, this is not absolutely necessary and it may be the first subarea 6 and the second subarea 7 the display area of the display device 4 also be arranged with each other.

As the required and / or suitable components (modules, components, hardware and software components) for the operating system 1 and the possibilities for their interaction are known to the person skilled in the art need not be discussed in detail in the present application.

Although the present invention has been described above by means of embodiments, it should be understood that various changes may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention as defined in the appended claims.

For further features and advantages of the present invention, reference is expressly made to the disclosure of the drawing.
