Multimode user interface of a driver assistance system for inputting and presentation of information
First Claim
1. A method for multimode information input for a touchscreen device in a motor vehicle, the method comprising:
- detecting, by the touchscreen device, an input motion of a user, the input motion comprising a physical gesture of the user that is (a) a contactless physical gesture with respect to a surface of the touchscreen device or (b) a touching of the surface of the touchscreen device,automatically activating a voice recognition means associated with the touchscreen device in response to a detection of the input motion performed during the input motion and prior to completion of the input motion, andafter the activation of the voice recognition means and after completion of the input motion, determining, by the touchscreen device, a selection of one or more objects that are displayed by the touchscreen device, wherein the determination is based on an evaluation of the completed input motion,in response to the one or more displayed objects or in response to the activation of the voice recognition means, automatically implementing a restriction of a vocabulary, which vocabulary is provided for interaction, wherein the restriction is based on the selected one or more displayed objects,receiving, by the voice recognition means, a voice command associated with the selected one or more displayed objects and defined by the restricted vocabulary, wherein the voice recognition means is configured to receive the voice command as an information input or for adapting a display of the touchscreen device.

Abstract
In a method for multimode information input and/or adaptation of the display of a display and control device, input signals of different modality are detected which are supplied via the device to a voice recognition unit, thus initiating a desired function and/or display as an output signal, which are displayed on the device and/or output by voice output. Touch and/or gesture input signals are provided on or to the device for selection of an object intended for interaction and activation of the voice recognition unit and for the vocabulary which is provided for interaction to be restricted with the selection of the object and/or activation of the voice recognition unit as a function of the selected object, on the basis of which a voice command from the restricted vocabulary is added to the selected object as an information input and/or for adaptation of the display, via the voice recognition unit.

9. A multimode information input system configured to receive multimode interactions of a user, the multimode information input system comprising:
-
a processor; and logic instructions stored in non-transitory computer-readable media and executable by the processor to; detect an input motion at a touchscreen device, the input motion comprising a physical gesture of a user that is (a) a contactless physical gesture relative to a surface of the touchscreen device or (b) a user touching of the surface of the touchscreen device, automatically activate a voice recognition means associated with the touchscreen device in response to a detection of the input motion performed during the input motion and prior to completion of the input motion, and after the activation of the voice recognition means and after completion of the input motion, determine a selection of one or more objects that are displayed at the touchscreen device, wherein the determination is based on an evaluation of the completed input motion, in response to the selection of the one or more displayed objects or in response to the activation of the voice recognition means, automatically implement a restriction of a vocabulary, which vocabulary is provided for interaction, wherein the restriction is based on the selected one or more displayed objects, receive, by the voice recognition means, a voice command associated with the selected one or more displayed objects and defined by the restricted vocabulary, wherein the voice recognition means is configured to receive the voice command as an information input or for adapting a display of the touchscreen device. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11)
