First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for displaying an application in a vehicle, comprising:
- providing data for displaying an application on a screen;
defining a threshold distraction value as a function of a driving situation of the vehicle;
providing information relating to a degree of application distraction based on user-interface elements of the application;
determining the degree of application distraction based on the provided information relating to the degree of application distraction, wherein the degree of application distraction is increased by applications requiring text input, and wherein the degree of application distraction is decreased by at least one of applications including highlighting of interactive elements or text, acoustical feedback, phonetic alphabet text input, and/or voice input;
wherein the degree of application distraction is determined only when the driver interacts with the application;
comparing the determined degree of application distraction to the threshold distraction value; and
if the determined degree of application distraction is less than the threshold distraction value, displaying the application on the screen, and if the determined degree of application distraction is more than the threshold distraction value, preventing the display of the application on the screen.

Abstract
In a method and devices, data for the display of an application on a screen is provided. In addition, information with regard to a degree of distraction of the application, e.g., information regarding user-interface elements, and/or information regarding a degree of distraction of a driver of a vehicle (110) is provided. As a function of this information and a driving situation of the vehicle, it is decided whether the application will be displayed on the screen.

16. A device, comprising:
-
a screen; and an operating device adapted to receive data for displaying an application on the screen, to define a threshold distraction value as a function of a driving situation of the vehicle, to receive information relating to a degree of application distraction based on user-interface elements of the application, to determine the degree of application distraction based on the provided information relating to the degree of application distraction, wherein the degree of application distraction is increased by applications requiring text input, and wherein the degree of application distraction is decreased by at least one of applications including highlighting of interactive elements or text, acoustical feedback, phonetic alphabet text input, and/or voice input, to compare the determined degree of application distraction to the threshold distraction value, wherein the degree of application distraction is determined only when the driver interacts with the application; and
, if the determined degree of application distraction is less than the threshold distraction value, to display the application on the screen, and if the determined degree of application distraction is more than the threshold distraction value, to prevent the display of the application on the screen. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18)

19. A device, comprising:
-
a controller adapted to transmit data to display an application on a screen of a client; an evaluator adapted to evaluate information relating to a degree of distraction, wherein the evaluating includes determining (a) a degree of application distraction representing a degree to which the application is distracting based on user-interface elements of the application, wherein the degree of application distraction is increased by applications requiring text input, and wherein the degree of application distraction is decreased by at least one of applications including highlighting of interactive elements or text, acoustical feedback, phonetic alphabet text input, and/or voice input, and (b) a degree of driver distraction representing a degree to which the driver is distracted on the basis of at least one of a camera monitoring the direction of the driver'"'"'s vision, a steering angle sensor, and/or a pedal position sensor; and a processor adapted to decide about the display of the application on the screen as a function of the information relating to the degree of distraction and a driving situation; wherein the evaluator is adapted to determine the degree of distraction only when the driver interacts with the application. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21)

22. A method for displaying an application in a vehicle, comprising:
-
providing data for displaying an application on a screen; defining a threshold distraction value; providing information relating to a degree of driver distraction on the basis of at least one of a camera monitoring the direction of the driver'"'"'s vision, a steering angle sensor, and/or a pedal position sensor; determining the degree of driver distraction based on the provided information relating to the degree of driver distraction; comparing the determined degree of driver distraction to the threshold distraction value; and if the determined degree of driver distraction is less than the threshold distraction value, displaying the application on the screen, and if the determined degree of driver distraction is more than the threshold distraction value, preventing the display of the application on the screen; wherein the degree of driver distraction is determined only when the driver interacts with the application. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24)
