Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method, a device and a computer program product for generating a graphical operating and / or display surface on a display for a human-machine interface of a motor vehicle, according to the preamble of the relevant independent claim.
  • the human-machine interface (MMI) of a motor vehicle is of central importance for the driver.
  • MMI human-machine interface
  • the increasing number of vehicle functions, their increasing complexity, such as thanks to telematics services and the increasing number of vehicle series and equipment variants places particularly high demands on the development of suitable human-machine interfaces.
  • the object of the invention is to provide an improved method for generating a graphical operating and / or display surface on a display for a human-machine interface of a motor vehicle, the operating surface having graphical elements arranged in the manner of a menu.
  • the method according to the invention is used to generate a graphical user and / or display surface on a display for a human-machine interface a motor vehicle.
  • the user interface has graphic elements arranged in a menu-like manner.
  • Each of the graphic elements is assigned to the main class or one of the subclasses.
  • the main class and the at least one subclass each indicate properties of the graphic elements assigned to them, a graphic element of a subclass at least predominantly also having the properties specified in the main class in addition to the properties specified in the subclass.
  • all graphic elements of the relevant class can be assigned class properties. If one or more of the properties of the relevant class are changed, the relevant properties of all graphic elements of the relevant class change. This is done by a single change in the relevant properties within the scope of the class properties; a change for each element is no longer necessary. So there is a so-called “inheritance” of properties to the elements of the class in question.
  • This concept according to the invention is based on the knowledge that a group of graphic elements often has the same properties with regard to their graphic design except for one or two properties graphic elements of the same group, for example, only by their inscription.
  • one embodiment of the invention provides that at least one property of the properties specified in the main class is specified in a subclass differently from the main class.
  • a graphic element which is assigned to the relevant subclass then does not have the property determined in the main class, but a property which deviates therefrom.
  • the main class can stipulate that all graphic elements belonging to the main class have the background color "blue”.
  • the background color of the graphic elements also assigned to this subclass is "gray”.
  • the subclass can be, for example, one of the menus of the human-machine interface (MM1), for example the Entertainment menu, the navigation menu, the climate menu or another menu of the MMI.
  • a graphic element assigned to the subclass then has the properties specified in the main class apart from the property specified differently in the subclass.
  • the concept of flexible inheritance according to the invention has the advantage of being able to pass on or “inherit” a large number of properties in an uncomplicated manner without this being rigidly applicable to all properties. “Exceptions to the rule” can thus be taken into account with little effort. Furthermore, the concept according to the invention achieves the fact that changes in the properties can be carried out in a less complex manner by the property being redefined once in the main class or in the subclass. This leads to a change in the relevant property of each graphic element that is assigned to the relevant main class or the relevant subclass. A complex change in the property in the binary description or in the data of each graphic element is not necessary.
  • one embodiment of the invention provides that at least one of the following properties of the graphic element is specified in the main class:
  • - size of the element such as in particular height, width, radius, or font size of the labeling of the element or a combination thereof
  • Bitmaps that the element uses such as in particular background and foreground, each focused, selected, deactivated, or a combination thereof, arrows for scrolling, focus displays,
  • Distances such as in particular individual bitmaps to one another, individual bitmaps relative to the origin, individual texts relative to the origin or a combination thereof,
  • Texts such as text alignment in particular, i.e. whether right-justified, left-justified or centered, or the font, and / or
  • Colors such as in particular the background color, the focus color, the text color, the selection, focusing or the deactivation color.
  • one embodiment of the invention provides that the graphic elements are formed on the basis of binary data elements which describe them.
  • Each binary data element is provided with an assignment specification to which main or subclass the graphic element is assigned.
  • the graphic elements are represented by XML, i.e. Extensible Markup Language.
  • one embodiment of the invention provides for the binary data element to be assigned by specifying a domain as the main class or specifying a subdomain as a subclass.
  • the graphic elements are displayed using a browser that processes XML files.
  • XML files can be also represented by browsers, like the well-known Internet browsers.
  • menus or MMIs can be generated in a very simple manner, which give the driver a "look and feel” as he knows it from surfing the Internet with an Internet browser. The driver feels very quickly with an MMI designed in this way "At home” and familiar with the MMI or the menus.
  • one embodiment of the invention provides that the graphic elements are described by binary data elements in an object-oriented programming language, such as in particular Java or C ++.
  • Figure 2 shows the communication menu of the MMI, in which the focus color of the element "horizontal list” is “red”;
  • FIG. 3 shows the climate menu of the MMI, in which the focus color of the element “horizontal list” is “red”
  • FIG. 4 shows the entertainment menu of the MMI in which the focus color in the “horizontal list” element has been changed from “red” to “green”;
  • FIG. 5 shows the communication menu of the MMI in which the focus color in the “horizontal list” element has been changed from “red” to “green”;
  • FIG. 6 shows the climate menu of the MMI, in which the focus color in the “horizontal list” element has been changed from “red” to “green”;
  • Figure 7 shows the menu "Top 8" of the communication menu as a further example that the change in focus color from “red” to “green” in the “horizontal list” element also in all other menus of the MMI with a single change in the XML description of the element "horizontal list” is brought about.
  • the change in the color design in the “horizontal list” element 101, 201, 301, 401, 501, 601, 701 in the menus 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700 of a human machine Interfaces (MMIs) for a motor vehicle using XML technology are described in more detail.
  • MMIs human machine Interfaces
  • the scope of the prototype or its definition of the properties of the graphic element generated using the prototype is limited by specifying the domain for which the prototype is to have an effect.
  • a first prototype can apply to the same element in one domain and a different prototype to another domain. Possibly. the graphic element has different properties in both domains.
  • the entire MMI with all menus is defined as the domain “com.bmw.” (Main class).
  • the entertainment area of the MMI is defined as the domain “com.bmw.entertainment”. So it is a subclass of the main class.
  • the CD area of the MMI is defined as the domain "com.bwm.entertainment.cd”, so it is a subclass of the subclass or the domain "Entertainment”.
  • the radio area of the MMI is called the domain "com.bwm.entertainment .radio ", so it is a further subclass of the subclass or the domain” Entertainment ".
  • FIG. 4 differs from FIG. 1 in that the selection area “FM” 402 and the frame of the selection area “satellite radio” 403 are no longer “red” but “green”.
  • the graphic element “horizontal list” 401 corresponds to element 101 except for the color change.
  • Figure 5 differs from Figure 2 in that the selection area "telephone” 502 and the frame of the selection area “BMW Online” 503 is no longer “red” but “green”.
  • the graphic element “horizontal list” 501 corresponds to element 201 except for the color change.
  • FIG. 6 differs from FIG. 3 in that the selection area “air distribution” 602 and the frame of the selection area “heating distribution seat” 603 is no longer “red” but “green”.
  • the graphic element "horizontal list” 601 corresponds to element 301 except for the color change.
  • FIG. 7 is intended to show that the color change of the graphic element “horizontal list” not only in the screenshots of the menus 100 to 600, but also in FIG all other menus are visible. The prerequisite for this is, of course, that the menu in question has the graphic element "horizontal list”. If this is the case, as shown in FIG. 7, which shows the menu "Top 8" of the communication menu 700, the color of the current one changes Selection area "Top 8", position 702, of the graphic element "horizontal list” 701 and the frame of the selected but not yet confirmed or actuated selection area "redial” 703 from “red” to "green".
  • the graphic element to be specified is initially partially predefined using one or more prototypes.
  • the actual element then inherits the properties of the prototypes.
  • prototypes can be limited using domain names. Several prototypes can be defined for the same element for different domains.
