Abstract
The invention relates to a method in which the output of a multimode user interface is optimized according to the currently used input procedure or the currently used input device, thus allowing pictograms to be displayed on a screen during manual input, for example, said pictograms then being replaced by texts visualizing spoken commands when switching to voice input. The output is thus kept as concise as possible and as detailed as necessary at any time, resulting in increased comfort for the user. The multimode user interface is suitable for vehicle cockpits, personal computers, and all types of mobile terminals.

13. A method for selecting functions with the aid of a user interface, comprising:
-
selecting, by a user, functions of a technical system using the user interface; generating information that at least one of represents the functions and confirms selection of the functions by the user; outputting, in a first output mode, the generated information in a first form which is optimized for one of a first input modality and a first input device; and outputting, in a second output mode, the information in a second form which is optimized for one of a second input modality and a second input device. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)

22. A user interface for selecting functions, comprising:
-
a first input device; a second input device; and an output device configured to display, in a first output mode, generated information in a first form which is optimized for one of a first input modality and the first input device, and to display, in a second output mode, the information in a second form which is optimized for one of a second input modality and a second input device. - View Dependent Claims (23)

24. A computer-readable medium encoded with a program executed by a processor of a computer that causes selection of functions with the aid of a user interface, comprising:
-
program code for receiving an indication of a user selection of functions of a technical system using the user interface; program code for generating information that at least one of represents the functions and confirms selection of the functions by the user; program code for outputting, in a first output mode of the user interface, the generated information in a first form which is optimized for one of a first input modality and a first input device; and program code for outputting, in a second output mode of the user interface, the information in a second form which is optimized for one of a second input modality and a second input device.
