1. A method for displaying information in a vehicle cockpit, the method comprising:
- controlling display of a display of a menu including a plurality of graphical objects on a display device positioned to be viewed by a driver of the vehicle via a control apparatus so that the display device is in a first or a second display mode;
measuring a speed of the vehicle, anddisplaying, in a first speed range, the plurality of graphical objects in the first display mode and displaying, in the second speed range, the same plurality of graphical objects in the second display mode;
wherein transition from one to the other display mode prompts the control apparatus to actuate the display device to display the plurality of objects presented in one display mode to move toward one another until the displayed plurality of objects combine in a central area, and subsequently move away from one another in a direction of presentation positions in the other display mode,wherein the movement of the plurality of graphical objects from the positions for presentation in one display mode toward one another in the direction of the central area is different than the movement of the graphical objects subsequently away from one another in the direction of the positions for presentation in the other display mode.

controlling display of a display of a menu including a plurality of graphical objects on a display device positioned to be viewed by a driver of the vehicle via a control apparatus so that the display device is in a first or a second display mode; measuring a speed of the vehicle, and displaying, in a first speed range, the plurality of graphical objects in the first display mode and displaying, in the second speed range, the same plurality of graphical objects in the second display mode;
wherein transition from one to the other display mode prompts the control apparatus to actuate the display device to display the plurality of objects presented in one display mode to move toward one another until the displayed plurality of objects combine in a central area, and subsequently move away from one another in a direction of presentation positions in the other display mode,wherein the movement of the plurality of graphical objects from the positions for presentation in one display mode toward one another in the direction of the central area is different than the movement of the graphical objects subsequently away from one another in the direction of the positions for presentation in the other display mode. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. An apparatus for displaying information in a vehicle cockpit, the apparatus comprising:
-
a display device positioned to be viewed by a driver of the vehicle; a control apparatus that controls display on the display device, wherein the control apparatus controls display of a menu including a plurality of graphical objects on the display device in a first or a second display mode; and a measuring apparatus coupled to the control apparatus and measuring a speed of the vehicle, wherein the control apparatus actuates the display device in a first speed range to display the plurality of graphical objects in the first display mode and actuates the display device in a second speed range to display the same plurality of graphical objects in the second display mode;
wherein the same plurality of graphical objects are arranged in different positions relative to each other on the display device in the second display mode than relative positions of the same plurality of graphical objects in the first mode;
wherein the first display mode, the plurality of graphical objects are presented in an arrangement on a virtual ring presented in perspective,wherein the movement of the plurality of graphical objects from the positions for presentation in the first display mode toward one another in the direction of the central area is different than the movement of the graphical objects subsequently away from one another in the direction of the positions for presentation in the second display mode. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)
