Information device, preferably in a motor vehicle, and method for supplying information about vehicle data, in particular vehicle functions and their operation
First Claim
1. An information device in a motor vehicle, comprising:
- a processor device;
at least one memory device assigned to the processor device, the memory adapted to store vehicle data; and
at least one output device configured to output the vehicle data in at least partially animated manner;
wherein at least one of (a) an operating device of at least one vehicle function and (b) at least one associated display is optically displayable in its arrangement in the motor vehicle on at least one output device arranged as a display device, the at least one output device configured to demonstrate at least one of (a) optically and (b) acoustically the function of the at least one of (a) the operating device and (b) the associated display.

Abstract
An information device, e.g., inside a motor vehicle, includes at least one output device and a processing device, to which a memory device is assigned in which all types of vehicle data, in particular data of vehicle functions and/or vehicle elements, their operation, display or manipulation, and/or data of vehicle states, are stored, and a method is for supplying information about the mentioned vehicle data. The corresponding vehicle data, in particular vehicle functions and their operation or manipulation, and/or vehicle elements and/or their function and/or manipulation, and/or vehicle states and/or their change are displayed in animated fashion on the at least one output device.
