1. A method for interacting with a set of systems, comprising steps:
- determining, using a sensor, a direction of interest of a user;
selecting one of the systems based on the direction of interest;
determining whether to change to a state corresponding to the selected system;
changing to the state corresponding to the selected system if true;
acquire input from the user using an input device; and
performing an action on the selected system according to the state and the input, wherein the steps are performed in a processor.

Abstract
A method for interacting with a set of systems, such as vehicle systems, first determines, using a sensor, a direction of interest of a user, such as the user gaze. One of the systems is selected based on the direction of interest, and a state is changed to correspond to the selected system. Input from the user is acquired using an input device, and then an action is performed on the selected system according to the state and the input.

15. An apparatus for interacting with a set of systems comprising:
-
a non-transitory memory; a sensor; and a processor connected to the non-transitory memory and the sensor, wherein the processor determines a direction of interest of a user using the sensor, selects one of the systems based on the direction of interest, determines whether to change to a state corresponding to the selected system, changes to the state corresponding to the selected system if true, acquires input from a user using the input device, and performs an action on the selected system according to the state and input. - View Dependent Claims (16)
