Arrangement for controlling electronic devices, in particular in a vehicle
First Claim
1. A configuration for controlling at least one electronic device, the configuration comprising:
- a memory unit, an operator control device including an actuator, a display device, and a computing unit that is connected to the memory unit, the operator control device, and the display device;
the computing unit configured to;
read a first operator control display out from the memory unit, the first operator control display including at least a first display element;
display the first operator control display on the display device;
evaluate an operator control operation that is performed with the actuator of the operator control device;
read out a second operator control display, which is assigned to the operator control operation, from the memory device;
the second operator control display including at least the first display element of the first operator control display;
gradually change the display device from displaying the first operator control display to displaying the second operator control display; and
gradually transform at least one display property of at least the first display element when changing from the first operator control display to the second operator control display;
wherein the first display element graphically represents a geometric shape of the actuator of the operator control device.

Abstract
An arrangement has a computing unit which is connected to a memory unit, an operator control device and a display device. The computing unit displays, on the display device, a first operator control display which is read out from the memory unit and is composed of at least two display elements, evaluates an operator control operation which is performed by means of the operator control device, and reads out a second operator control display, assigned to the operator control operation, from the memory device. In order to improve the ability to perceive the relationship between the first and the second operator control displays, at least one of the display elements from the first operator control display is also contained in the second operator control display (150), the at least one display element in the first operator control display differing from the second operator control display in at least one of its display properties. The computing unit performs a gradual transformation of the at least one display element from the first operator control display to the second operator control display and displays it.
