User interface for adjusting parameters for climate control systems in motor vehicles
First Claim
1. A user interface for adjusting a plurality of parameters of a climate control system of a motor vehicle, the user interface comprising:
- an input element having a system of coordinates having multiple dimensions, wherein each of the dimensions of the system of coordinates is associated with at least one of the parameters of the climate control system, and wherein a selection of a single adjusted point range in the system of coordinates simultaneously selects values for the plurality of parameters of the climate control system; and
program means to perform at least one of an absolute evaluation of the parameters and an incremental evaluation of changes to the parameters between the adjusted point range and an original point range of the parameters, and transmit a data representing the evaluation to at least one of a control device and a regulation device of the climate control system in order to adjust the values of the parameters.
