1. An electronic vehicle navigation device, comprising:
- operator-input devices and communication devices for exchanging data with an external central computer, wherein at least one of the operator-input devices is configured to send one of (i) a specific input-identification code uniquely assigned to the electronic device and the respective operator-input device and (ii) function data assigned to the input-identification code, to the external central computer, which, responsive to receiving only the one of the input-identification code and the function data, is configured to;
determine a function previously assigned to the one of the input-identification code and the function data, andinitiate execution of the function;
wherein the specific input-identification code uniquely assigned to the electronic device and the respective operator-input device and the function data assigned to the input-identification code are each sendable but only one is selected to be sent.

Abstract
In an electronic device, in particular a navigation device, having operator-input devices and communications devices for exchanging data with an external, central computer, at least one operator-input device is assigned a function for sending a specific input-identification code uniquely assigned to the electronic device and to the respective operator-input device, or for sending function data assigned to the input-identification code, to the external, central computer for executing the at least one function defined by the input-identification code and the function data.

4. A method for executing functions, using an operator-input at an electronic device, at least one operator-input device being uniquely assigned at least one of an input-identification code and function data, the method comprising:
-
sending one of the input-identification code and the function data of a manipulated operator-input device from the electronic device to an external central computer; and at the computer, responsive to receiving only the one of the input-identification code and the function data, performing the following; determining function commands, which were previously assigned to one of the sent input-identification code and the function data in a function database, and initiating execution of the function commands; wherein the specific input-identification code uniquely assigned to the electronic device and the respective operator-input device and the function data assigned to the input-identification code are each sendable but only one is selected to be sent. - View Dependent Claims (5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
