Device associated with a vehicle and having a spelling system with a completion suggestion
First Claim
1. A device allocated to a vehicle and comprising:
- a display device comprising;
a selection field to display choosable characters in a single row, linear arrangement, and to display a chosen character that was chosen from the choosable characters;
an input field to display any selected characters, each selected character being a character that was previously chosen and then transferred into the input field; and
an adjacent area to display a completion suggestion in close proximity to the chosen character in the selection field;
a storage unit with data stored therein;
a processor to select data from the data stored in the storage unit according to predefinable criteria, the data being selected to provide the completion suggestion as a possible completion of the chosen character and any selected characters; and
an operating device with which a user chooses the chosen character, selects each selected character, chooses the completion suggestion, and selects a chosen completion suggestion for transferring into the input field, the operating device being integrated into the vehicle and comprising at least one of a push-and-rotary switch and a joystick, whereinthe adjacent area is outside of the selection field and outside of the input field, but in close proximity to the chosen character in the selection field,the chosen character is offset from the choosable characters with a selection identifier, where the selection identifier is movable by the operating device to highlight the chosen character in the selection field, anda deletion button is provided immediately adjacent to the selection identifier, such that actuation of the deletion button with the operating device deletes a last-selected character in the input field.

Abstract
An operating unit is used to choose least alphanumeric characters and/or symbols and to combine them to form a character group. A display device displays selectable characters in a selection field and displays selected characters in an one input field. Data is stored in a storage unit. A data processing unit selects data from the data stored in the storage unit according to predefinable criteria, taking into consideration a chosen character and previously selected characters. A completion suggestion with at least one completion element is displayed in close proximity to the chosen character in the selection field, insofar as a possible completion of the chosen character and the previously selected characters. The completion element is choosable by a user by the operating unit, and a chosen completion element can be selected by a user by the operating unit.

14. A device allocated to a vehicle and comprising:
-
a display device comprising; a selection field to display choosable characters in a single row, linear arrangement, and to display a chosen character that was chosen from the choosable characters; an input field to display any selected characters, each selected character being a character that was previously chosen and then transferred into the input field; and an adjacent area to display only one completion suggestion immediately above or below the chosen character in the selection field; a storage unit with data stored therein; a processor to select data from the data stored in the storage unit according to predefinable criteria, the data being selected to provide the completion suggestion as a possible completion of the chosen character and any selected characters, the completion suggestion being a destination or a word completion; and an operating device with which a user chooses the chosen character, selects each selected character, chooses the completion suggestion, and selects a chosen completion suggestion for transferring into the input field, the operating device being integrated into the vehicle and comprising at least one of a push-and-rotary switch and a joystick, wherein the adjacent area is outside of the selection field and outside of the input field, but in close proximity to the chosen character in the selection field, the chosen character is offset from the choosable characters with a selection identifier, where the selection identifier is movable by the operating device to highlight the chosen character in the selection field, and a deletion button is displayed in the selection field immediately adjacent to the selection identifier, such that actuation of the deletion button with the operating device deletes a last-selected character in the input field.

15. A device allocated to a vehicle and comprising:
-
a display device comprising; a selection field to display choosable characters in a single row, linear arrangement, and to display a chosen character that was chosen from the choosable characters; an input field to display any selected characters, each selected character being a character that was previously chosen and then transferred into the input field; and an adjacent area to display a completion suggestion in close proximity to the chosen character in the selection field; a storage unit with data stored therein; a processor to select data from the data stored in the storage unit according to predefinable criteria, the data being selected to provide the completion suggestion as a possible completion of the chosen character and any selected characters; and an operating device with which a user chooses the chosen character, selects each selected character, chooses the completion suggestion, and selects a chosen completion suggestion for transferring into the input field, the operating device being integrated into the vehicle and comprising at least one of a push-and-rotary switch and a joystick, wherein the adjacent area is outside of the selection field and outside of the input field, but in close proximity to the chosen character in the selection field, the chosen character is offset from the choosable characters with a selection identifier, where the selection identifier is movable by the operating device to highlight the chosen character in the selection field, and a deletion button is movably provided in the selection field to be adjacent the chosen character, such that actuation of the deletion button with the operating device deletes a last-selected character in the input field.
