Abstract
For retrofitting an infotainment system of a motor vehicle which has the option of operating using voice commands, such voice commands are subsequently defined in an SCXML file. The voice commands are assigned state transitions, which are intended to run through the functional devices after the corresponding voice command is received. The SCXML file is interpreted by an interpreter.
