1. A method for providing a user interface in a vehicle, in which information that is structured in lists is displayed, the method comprising:
- displaying a list comprising a plurality of list entries, wherein the plurality of list entries each comprise a multiplicity of items,wherein a display panel is used to display at least one subset of the list so a multiplicity of list entries in this list extend in a first direction on the display panel,wherein a list entry from the displayed multiplicity of list entries has at least one subset of the items in this one list entry displayed so the items extend in a second direction on the display panel, which direction is different than the first direction,wherein the displayed subset with list entries in the list is altered by a first operator control process by a user so the list entries in the list are moved through in succession, wherein the first operator control process comprises an operator control movement in the first direction, andwherein the displayed subset with items in the one list entry is altered by a second operator control process by the user so the items in the list entry are moved through in succession, wherein the second operator control process comprises an operator control movement in the second direction.

Abstract
A method for providing a user interface in a vehicle, wherein information that is structured in lists can be displayed, and wherein a list includes list entries and the list entries include elements. At least one subset of the list is displayed on a display surface so that list entries extend on the display surface in a first direction, and at least one subset of elements of this one list entry are displayed so that the elements extend on the display surface in a second direction that differs from the first direction.

8. An apparatus for providing a user interface in a vehicle, the apparatus comprising:
-
a display apparatus having a display panel; a memory for storing a list that comprises a plurality of list entries, wherein the plurality of list entries each comprise a multiplicity of items, wherein subsets with list entries and subsets with items are displayed on the display panel; an input apparatus that is operated by a user to alter a displayed subset with list entries and a displayed subset with items by an operator control process; and a control apparatus coupled to the display apparatus, to the memory and to the input apparatus and by which the display on the display panel are controlled based on an operator control process performed by the input apparatus, wherein the control apparatus is used to actuate the display apparatus so the display panel is used to display at least one subset of the list so a multiplicity of list entries in this list extend in a first direction on the display panel, and a list entry from the displayed multiplicity of list entries has at least one subset of the items in this one list entry displayed so the items extend in a second direction on the display panel, which direction is different than the first direction, and wherein the displayed subset with list entries in the list is altered by an operator control process by the user by the control apparatus so the list entries in the list are moved through in succession, wherein the first operator control process comprises an operator control movement in the first direction, and the displayed subset with items in the one list entry is altered by a second operator control process by the user by the control apparatus so the items in the list entry are moved through in succession, wherein the second operator control process comprises an operator control movement in the second direction. - View Dependent Claims (9)

10. A vehicle having an apparatus for providing a user interface in a vehicle, wherein the apparatus comprises:
-
a display apparatus having a display panel; a memory for storing a list that comprises a plurality of list entries, wherein the plurality of list entries each comprise a multiplicity of items, wherein subsets with list entries and subsets with items are displayed on the display panel; an input apparatus that is operated by a user to alter a displayed subset with list entries and a displayed subset with items by an operator control process; and a control apparatus coupled to the display apparatus, to the memory and to the input apparatus and by which the display on the display panel are controlled based on an operator control process performed by the input apparatus, wherein the control apparatus is used to actuate the display apparatus so the display panel is used to display at least one subset of the list so a multiplicity of list entries in this list extend in a first direction on the display panel, and a list entry from the displayed multiplicity of list entries has at least one subset of the items in this one list entry displayed so the items extend in a second direction on the display panel, which direction is different than the first direction, and wherein the displayed subset with list entries in the list is altered by an operator control process by the user by the control apparatus so the list entries in the list are moved through in succession, wherein the first operator control process comprises an operator control movement in the first direction, and the displayed subset with items in the one list entry is altered by a second operator control process by the user by the control apparatus so the items in the list entry are moved through in succession, wherein the second operator control process comprises an operator control movement in the second direction. - View Dependent Claims (11)
