Control of an online service by means of a motor vehicle operator control device
First Claim
1. A method for controlling an online service using an operating device of a motor vehicle, the method comprising:
- when a connection to a server device configured to provide a plurality of online services is being established, retrieving, from the server device, a generated list of the plurality of online services available on the server device and operable by the operating device of the motor vehicle, wherein the list is generated based on vehicle-specific identification data comprising;
equipment data that describes technical equipment of the motor vehicle and technical framework conditions of the motor vehicle;
retrieving, from the server device, the online service to be controlled by the motor vehicle based on an interface description of the online services;
determining vehicle-specific operating elements of the operating device of the motor vehicle;
retrieving, from the server device, vehicle-specific converter data comprising a control instruction for controlling a selection of a service function of the online service based on operation signals of the vehicle-specific operating elements, wherein the vehicle specific converter data is retrieved based on a vehicle type of the motor vehicle;
determining an operating input in response to a user input at the operating element of the operating device of the motor vehicle; and
selecting a service function of the online service based on the determined operating input at the operating element of the operating device and the vehicle-specific converter data.

Abstract
The invention relates to a method for controlling an online service outside the vehicle by using an operating device of a motor vehicle. The method includes determining an operating input performed by a user on the operating device and selecting one of several service functions of the online service depending on the operating input. This selection capability should be adapted to the vehicle type-dependent operating concept of the motor vehicle. The operating elements available on the operating device are determined and converter data, which contain a control instruction for controlling the selection of the service function depending on operation signals of the determined operating elements, are provided. The selection of the service function then takes place depending on the operating element operated during the operating input and depending on the converter data.
