VOICE CONTROL SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE WITH A STOP/START DEVICE
First Claim
1. A control device for a motor vehicle having an internal combustion engine and a stop/start device,wherein the stop/start device is designed to switch off the internal combustion engine automatically when at least one stop condition is met,wherein the switching off of the internal combustion engine when the stop condition is present does not take place until after a switch off delay time has passed, andwherein the control device is designed to prevent, in reaction to a first voice command, the automatic switching off of the internal combustion engine for a predefined time period and/or until a predefined vehicle operating state criterion has been fulfilled, irrespective of whether or not the stop condition was already met at the time when the voice command was issued.

Abstract
The invention relates to a control device for a motor vehicle having an internal combustion engine and a stop/start device, and to a method for controlling the operation of an internal combustion engine in such a motor vehicle, wherein the stop/start device is designed to switch off the internal combustion automatically when at least one stop condition is met, wherein the switching off of the internal combustion engine when the stop condition is present does not take place until after a switch off delay time has passed. The control device is designed to prevent, in reaction to a first voice command, the automatic switching off of the internal combustion engine for a predefined time period and/or until a predefined vehicle operating state criterion has been fulfilled irrespective of whether or not the stop condition was already met at the time when the voice command was issued.
