Abstract

Die Anordnung zur Eingabe und Anzeige von Benutzerinformationen auf einem Display hat unterhalb letzteren eine Eingabeeinheit (I) mit einer Anzahl an Eingabefeldern (I-1, I-2, I-3 und I-4) angeordnet. Über Bedienelemente (Grundmenütasten) des ersten Eingabefeldes (I-1) werden Grundmenüs ausgewählt, von denen ausgehend per Softkey ein Submenü einstellbar ist. Das zweite Eingabefeld (I-2) enthält die Softkeys (S1-S5). Das dritte Eingabefeld (I-3) ist für eine alternative Auswahl der Menüs bzw. Listenbilder und das vierte Eingabefeld (I-4) ist für eine Zifferneingabe vorgesehen. Die Anzeigeeinheit (O) ist ein großflächiges Display, mit welchem Schirmbilder mit Anzeigefeldern dargestellt werden, wobei ein erstes Anzeigefeld mindestens eine Statuszeile mit Anzeige der Eingabe in einem Editierfeld umfaßt, ein zweites Anzeigefeld Optionen und Hinweise anzeigt und ein weiteres Anzeigefeld als Funktionsbezeichnungsfeld für die Softkeys dient.

The arrangement for the input and display of user information on a display has an input unit (I) with a number of input fields (I-1, I-2, I-3 and I-4) arranged below the latter. Basic menus are selected using controls (basic menu keys) in the first input field (I-1), from which a submenu can be set using the softkey. The second input field (I-2) contains the softkeys (S1-S5). The third input field (I-3) is for an alternative selection of the menus or list images and the fourth input field (I-4) is for entering a number. The display unit (O) is a large-area display with which screens with display fields are shown, with a first display field comprising at least one status line with the entry in an edit field, a second display field displaying options and information and a further display field as a function designation field for the softkeys serves.
