1. A dialogue system for a motor vehicle, the dialogue system comprising:
- a plurality of control keys, wherein at least one of the control keys can be assigned a function from a predefined set of functions in such a manner that this function is executed upon actuation of the control key, wherein the function corresponds to playing a particular radio station; and
a processor coupled to the plurality of control keys, the processor configured toassign the control key a primary parameter which corresponds to the function, and wherein when the function is playing a particular radio station, the primary parameter is a radio station to be selected,assign at least one secondary parameter, which relates to the method for executing the function, andexecute the function in the manner defined by the secondary parameter upon actuation of the control key.

Abstract
In a dialogue system for a motor vehicle, the dialogue system including a plurality of control keys, assigning at least one of at least on of the control keys a function from a predefined set of functions in such a manner that the function is executed upon actuation of the control key. The control key can be assigned a primary parameter, which is automatically required for executing the function, and at least one secondary parameter which relates to the method for executing the function, in such a manner that the function is executed in the manner defined by the secondary parameter upon actuation of the control key.

7. A method for assigning a primary parameter and at least one secondary parameter to control key of a dialogue system, the method comprising the acts of:
-
detecting an assignment operation of an operator during execution of a function of the dialogue system, wherein the function corresponds to playing a particular radio station; determining a primary parameter, wherein the function execution is based on the primary parameter, and wherein when the function is playing a particular radio station, the primary parameter is a radio station to be selected; assigning the primary parameter to the control key; determining at least one secondary parameter based, at least in part, on the current settings of the dialogue system for executing the function; and assigning the secondary parameter to the control key. - View Dependent Claims (8)

9. A method for assigning a primary parameter and at least one secondary parameter to a control key of a dialogue system, the method comprising the acts of:
-
detecting a user request operation by an operator of the dialogue system, the user request operation associated with a primary parameter during the execution of a function, wherein the function corresponds to playing a particular radio station; detecting a secondary request operation by the operator, the secondary request operation associated with at least one secondary parameter, and assigning the primary parameter and the at least one secondary parameter to the control key based on the current settings of the dialogue system for executing the function, and wherein when the function is playing a particular radio station, the primary parameter is a radio station to be selected. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16)
