METHOD AND DEVICE FOR OPERATING A CLIMATE CONTROL DEVICE OF A VEHICLE
First Claim
1. A method for operating an air-conditioning apparatus of a vehicle;
- wherein the air-conditioning apparatus has at least three display modes, namely a status mode, a transition mode and a setting mode;
the method comprising;
detecting a current value of a setting parameter of the air-conditioning apparatus;
detecting whether an operating intention of a user exists;
activating the status mode if no operating intention is detected;
activating the transition mode or the setting mode if an operating intention is detected; and
generating and displaying graphical data of a graphical representation of an interior of the vehicle, depending on the activated display mode, such thatin response to the status mode being activated, the representation of the interior comprises a display element by which the currently set value of the setting parameter is output,in response to the transition mode being activated, the representation of the interior comprises a settability display element, andin response to the setting mode being activated, the representation of the interior comprises an operable setting element.

Abstract
A method for operating an air-conditioning apparatus of a vehicle wherein the air-conditioning apparatus has at least three display modes including a status mode, a transition mode, and a setting mode. A current value of a setting parameter of the air-conditioning apparatus and whether an operating intention of a user exists are detected. If no operating intention is detected, the status mode is activated. If an operating intention is detected, the transition mode or the setting mode is activated. Depending on the activated display mode, graphical data of a graphical representation of an interior of the vehicle is generated and displayed so the status mode is activated. The representation of the interior includes a display element for outputting the currently set value of the setting parameter.

13. An operating apparatus for operating an air-conditioning apparatus of a vehicle, wherein the air-conditioning apparatus has at least three display modes, including a status mode, a transition mode and a setting mode, wherein the operating apparatus comprises:
-
a detection unit by which a current value of a setting parameter of the air-conditioning apparatus is detectable; an operating intention detection unit by which an operating intention of a user is detectable; wherein, if no operating intention is detected, the status mode is activatable and, in response to detection of an operating intention, the transition mode or the setting mode is activatable; a control unit by which, depending on the activated display mode, graphical data of a graphical representation of an interior of the vehicle are generatable, such that in response to the status mode being activated, the representation of the interior comprising a display element by which the currently set value of the setting parameter is able to be output, in response to the transition mode being activated, the representation of the interior comprising a settability display element, and in response to the setting mode being activated, the representation of the interior comprises an operable setting element; and a display unit by which the graphical data are able to be displayed. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15)
