Abstract
A method and control system for operating a motor vehicle, sense a gesture directed at an object from a vehicle occupant using a gesture recognition unit, interpret the gesture and identify of the object using a data processing unit and generate a corresponding control command on the basis of the interpreted gesture and the identified object. An assistance system of the motor vehicle is actuated in accordance with the control command using the data processing unit. A voice command, uttered by the vehicle occupant is sensed before, during or after the sensing of the gesture, using a voice recognition unit. A combined interpretation of the gesture, the identified object and the voice command is performed, and the control command is generated on the basis of the combined interpretation, using the data processing unit.

26. A control system for operating a motor vehicle, comprising:
-
a gesture recognition unit to recognize a gesture of a vehicle occupant, the gesture being a finger pointing directed at an object; a voice recognition unit to sense a voice command uttered by the vehicle occupant before, during or after the gesture is recognized; and a data processing unit to interpret the gesture, to identify the object, to perform a combined interpretation of the gesture, the object and the voice command, to generate a control command based on the combined interpretation and to actuate an assistance system of the motor vehicle in accordance with the control command, wherein the gesture recognition unit recognizes both an outside gesture directed at an object arranged outside the motor vehicle and an inside gesture directed at an object arranged inside the motor vehicle, so that the data processing unit interprets the gesture and identifies the object. - View Dependent Claims (27)
