User interface and communications system for a motor vehicle and associated operating methods
First Claim
1. A user interface for a communications system in a motor vehicle, comprising:
- an arrangement configured to restrict, in a restrictive operating mode, a functionality of a radio interface to a wireless communication to a radio communications network;
an arrangement configured to display, when there is a call in the restrictive operating mode, the restrictive operating mode to a caller and to make available a plurality of communications functions, at least one communications function selectable by the caller; and
an arrangement configured to activate a selected communications function.

Abstract
A user interface for a communications system in a motor vehicle, in a restrictive operating mode, restricts a functionality of a radio interface for wire-free connection to a radio communications network. A communications system for a motor vehicle includes a radio interface for wire-free connection to a radio communications network and for setting up a corresponding communications link. In the restrictive operating mode, the user interface displays the operating mode with restricted functionality to the caller and makes a plurality of communications functions available to him in a selectable fashion, the user interface activating the selected communications function. The communications system includes a device for detecting first and/or second traffic situations and for defining a radio communication as incapable of being carried out if one of the first traffic situations is detected, and as capable of being carried out if one of the second traffic situations is detected.

27. A method for operating a communications system in a motor vehicle, comprising:
evaluating data as a function of a predefined route to detect at least one of (a) first sections of a route with first traffic situations and (b) second sections of the route with second traffic situations, to define a radio communication on the first sections of the route as incapable of being performed, and to define a radio communication on the second sections of the route as capable of being performed. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29)
