Method for Displaying Information in a Motor Vehicle, and Display Device
First Claim
1. A method for displaying information with the aid of a display mounted in a motor vehicle, comprising:
- generating, by a user interface device, graphic data which actuate at least a subregion of the display such that in an operating state, information which is assigned to at least one operator step executable by an input device is displayed, and in a display state, information which is not assigned to any operator steps is displayed, and it is detected when an object enters an operator control zone assigned to the input device (4) and when it leaves the operator zone;
switching the operator interface device from the operating state to the display state when the object leaves the operator control zone and the object does not reenter the operator control zone within a defined time interval.

Abstract
In a method for displaying information with the aid of a display mounted in a motor vehicle, graphic data which actuate at least a subregion of the display are generated by a user interface device, such that in an operation state, information assigned to at least one operator step able to be executed by an input device are generated and in a display state, information not assigned to any operator steps is displayed, and it is detected when an object enters an operator control zone assigned to the input device, and when it leaves the operator control zone. The method is characterized in that the user interface device switches from the operating state to the display state when the object leaves the operator control zone and does not reenter the operator control zone within a defined time interval. A display device is adapted for executing this method.

18. A display device for a motor vehicle, comprising:
-
a display mounted in the motor vehicle; an input device; a proximity sensor adapted to detect an entry of an object in an operator control zone assigned to the input device and a departure from the operator control zone; and a user interface device adapted to generate graphic data to actuate at least a subregion of the display such that in an operating state, information assigned to an operator step executable by the input device is displayed, and in a display state, information that is not assigned to any operator steps is displayed; wherein the user interface device is adapted to switch from the operating state to the display state when the object leaves the operator control zone and the object does not reenter the operator control zone within a defined time interval. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22)
