Abstract
In a method for displaying a plurality of two-dimensional, ordered objects on a display area, a user-interface device generates graphics data that control the display area such that a subset of the objects is displayed in perspective, a first object of this subset being displayed in perspective in the foreground, and in response to an input with the aid of an input device, an arithmetic logic unit of the user-interface device alters the graphics data such that a different, second object is displayed in perspective in the foreground. The graphical objects are displayed in perspective, positioned one behind the other in a stack, the object displayed in the foreground forming the front face of the stack, and in response to the input, the graphics data are altered such that the first object and the objects disposed between the first and second object in the stack are moved in a direction perpendicular to the stack axis and are hidden, or the objects ordered between the first and second object, and the second object are made visible and are moved in a direction perpendicular to the stack axis until the second object is displayed in perspective in the foreground. An associated device is adapted for carrying out the method, and a vehicle includes such a device.

15. A method for displaying a plurality of two-dimensional, ordered objects on a display area, comprising:
-
generating, by a user-interface device, graphics data which control the display area to display a subset of the objects in perspective, a first object of the subset being displayed in perspective in a foreground; and in response to an input by an input device, altering, by an arithmetic logic unit of the user-interface device, the graphics data to display a different, second object in perspective in the foreground; displaying the graphical objects in perspective, positioned one behind the other in a stack, a first object displayed in the foreground forming a front face of the stack; and in response to the input, altering the graphics data such that the first object and the objects disposed between the first object and a second object in the stack are moved in a direction perpendicular to a stack axis and are hidden, or the objects ordered between the first object and the second object, and the second object are made visible and are moved in a direction perpendicular to the stack axis until the second object is displayed in perspective in the foreground. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)

27. A device for displaying a plurality of two-dimensional, ordered objects, comprising:
-
a display area adapted to display at least one subset of the objects in perspective; a user-interface device, adapted to generate graphics data of the objects and, with the aid of an arithmetic logic unit, to alter the graphics date, a first object being displayable in perspective in a foreground; and an input device, coupled to the user-interface device, adapted to detect an input by which, with the aid of the arithmetic logic unit of the user-interface device, the graphics data are alterable to display a different, second object in perspective in the foreground; wherein the graphics data are controllable with the aid of the user-interface device to display the graphical objects in perspective, disposed one behind the other in a stack, the object displayed in the foreground forming a front face of the stack; and wherein the input device is coupled to the user-interface device such that, in response to the input, the graphics data alterable so that the first object and the objects disposed between the first object and a second object in the stack are moved in a direction perpendicular to a stack axis and are hidden, or the objects ordered between the first object and the second object, and the second object are made visible and are moved in a direction perpendicular to the stack axis until the second object is displayed in perspective in the foreground.

28. A vehicle, comprising:
-
a device adapted to display a plurality of two-dimensional, ordered objects, including; a display area adapted to display at least one subset of the objects in perspective; a user-interface device, adapted to generate graphics data of the objects and, with the aid of an arithmetic logic unit, to alter the graphics date, a first object being displayable in perspective in a foreground; and an input device, coupled to the user-interface device, adapted to detect an input by which, with the aid of the arithmetic logic unit of the user-interface device, the graphics data are alterable to display a different, second object in perspective in the foreground; wherein the graphics data are controllable with the aid of the user-interface device to display the graphical objects in perspective, disposed one behind the other in a stack, the object displayed in the foreground forming a front face of the stack; and wherein the input device is coupled to the user-interface device such that, in response to the input, the graphics data alterable so that the first object and the objects disposed between the first object and a second object in the stack are moved in a direction perpendicular to a stack axis and are hidden, or the objects ordered between the first object and the second object, and the second object are made visible and are moved in a direction perpendicular to the stack axis until the second object is displayed in perspective in the foreground.
