Dynamic human-machine interface device and method
First Claim
1. A dynamic human-machine interface device, comprising:
- an interface section, the interface section being configured to display an interface of at least one applet, the applet being configured to control at least one function of a motor vehicle; and
a memory unit, the memory unit including;
a first memory section configured to store data representing at least one vehicle-specific parameter;
a second memory section configured to store data for each of a plurality of vehicles representing a respective appearance of the at least one applet; and
a third memory section configured to store data representing at least one application, each application corresponding to a respective applet;
wherein the interface section is configured to display the interface of the at least one applet in accordance with one of the plurality of vehicles corresponding to the at least one vehicle-specific parameter represented by the data stored in the first memory section.

Abstract
A dynamic HMI device includes an interface section, which is configured to display an interface of at least one applet configured to control at least one function of a motor vehicle. The dynamic HMI device further includes a memory unit, which includes: a first memory section configured to store data representing at least one vehicle-specific parameter; a second memory section configured to store data for each of a plurality of vehicles representing a respective appearance of the at least one applet; and a third memory section configured to store data representing at least one application, each application corresponding to a respective applet. The interface section is configured to display the interface of the at least one applet in accordance with one of the plurality of vehicles corresponding to the vehicle-specific parameter represented by the data stored in the first memory section.
A method for providing a dynamic human-machine interface includes the steps of: storing data representing at least one vehicle-specific parameter in a first memory section of a memory unit; storing data for each of a plurality of vehicles representing a respective appearance of at least one applet in a second memory section of the memory unit; storing data representing at least one application in a third memory section of the memory unit, each application corresponding to a respective applet; reading the data from the first memory section; reading the data from the second memory section representing the appearance of the at least one applet corresponding to one of the plurality of vehicles in accordance with the data read from the first memory section; reading the data from the third memory section corresponding to the at least one applet; and displaying the interface of the at least one applet corresponding to the one of the plurality of vehicles in accordance with the data read from the first, second and third memory sections.
