1. A method for recognizing a spontaneous demand by a driver of a motor vehicle comprising:
- determining a manner of the driver for actuating an operating device, the manner of the driver capable of being defined as a sportier manner or a steadier manner;
comparing an extent of the actuation of the operating device to a threshold value; and
recognizing a dynamic-response demand when the extent of actuation exceeds the threshold value;
the extent of actuation necessary for the recognizing of the dynamic-response demand being greater for the sportier manner than for the steadier manner.

Abstract
A method for recognizing a spontaneous demand by a driver of a motor vehicle for a dynamic response, the extent of the actuation of an operating device being compared to a threshold value, and the demand for a dynamic response being recognized when the extent of actuation lies above a specific threshold value, and, when comparing the extent of actuation to the threshold value, allowance being made for the manner in which the vehicle driver normally actuates the operating device.

8. A method for recognizing a spontaneous demand by a driver of a motor vehicle comprising:
-
determining a manner of the driver for actuating an operating device, the manner of the driver capable of being defined as a sportier manner or a steadier manner;
comparing an extent of the actuation of the operating device to a threshold value;
recognizing a dynamic-response demand when the extent of actuation exceeds the threshold value, the extent of actuation necessary for the recognizing of the dynamic-response demand being greater for the sportier manner than for the steadier manner; and
statistically evaluating the extent of actuation, the extent of actuation being monitored continuously;
wherein recent values of the extent of actuation receive a greater weighting during the statistic evaluation than older values.

9. A method for recognizing a spontaneous demand by a driver of a motor vehicle comprising:
-
determining a manner of the driver for actuating an operating device, the manner of the driver capable of being defined as a sportier manner or a steadier manner;
comparing an extent of the actuation of the operating device to a threshold value;
recognizing a dynamic-response demand when the extent of actuation exceeds the threshold value. the extent of actuation necessary for the recognizing of the dynamic-response demand being greater for the sportier manner than for the steadier manner; and
filtering the extent of actuation, the filtering being forestalled in the event the operating device is released with an angular velocity above another threshold value.

10. A method for recognizing a spontaneous demand by a driver of a motor vehicle comprising:
-
determining a manner of the driver for actuating an operating device, the manner of the driver capable of being defined as a sportier manner or a steadier manner, the operating device being an accelerator;
comparing an extent of the actuation of the operating device to a threshold value, the extent of actuation being a detected angular position of the accelerator;
recognizing a dynamic-response demand when the extent of actuation exceeds the threshold value, the extent of actuation necessary for the recognizing of the dynamic-response demand being greater for the sportier manner than for the steadier manner; and
filtering the detected angular position of the accelerator, the filtering being forestalled in the event the accelerator is released with an angular velocity above another threshold value.

-
determining a manner of the driver for actuating an operating device, the manner of the driver capable of being defined as a sportier manner or a steadier manner;
comparing an extent of the actuation of the operating device to a threshold value; and
recognizing a dynamic-response demand when the extent of actuation exceeds the threshold value, the extent of actuation necessary for the recognizing of the dynamic-response demand being greater for the sportier manner than for the steadier manner;
wherein a variable or bit is set for the recognized dynamic-response demand when the dynamic-response demand is recognized, and the variable or bit is reset when conditions for the demand no longer exist and the operating device is not activated. - View Dependent Claims (12)
