1. A display and control device for a motor vehicle, comprising:
- at least one display device of the motor vehicle,a touch-sensitive position detection unit coupled to the at least one display device, anda control unit coupled to the at least one display device and the position detection unit and comprising an evaluation logic which evaluates touched positions detected by the position detection unit and hereby influences a control of a representation of information on the at least one display device and a calling up of at least one of functions and a control of systems that can be operated via the display and control device,wherein the control unit assigns corresponding physical properties to a plurality of objects displayed on a display area of the at least one display device of the motor vehicle, the assigned physical properties related to a value for inertia or friction of each one of the plurality of objects affecting movement of the discrete object on the display area in combination with a detected operating impulse;
wherein the evaluation logic is operable to;
evaluate the detected touched positions in a time-resolved manner; and
identify at least one sequential series of detected touched positions that continuously merge into a touch trace generated by a grazing actuation movement across the display area of the at least one display device; and
wherein the evaluation logic includes a differentiator configured to detect, for each identified touch trace, at least one of a speed and an acceleration of the respective touch trace, and control a representation of information on the at least one display device based on the detected at least one of a speed and an acceleration of each identified touch trace.

Abstract
A display device (3) is coupled to a touch-sensitive position detection unit (5) and a control unit (6) is coupled to the display device (3) and the position detection unit (5). The control unit has an evaluation logic (8) that evaluates touched positions (9) detected by the position detection unit (5) and uses the positions to influence the control of the representation of information on the display device (3) and the calling up of functions and/or the control of systems (11) that can be operated via the display and control device (1). The evaluation logic (8) is designed to evaluate the detected touched positions (9) in a time-resolved manner.

10. A method for operating a display and control device of a motor vehicle, wherein the display and control device comprises a display device, a touch-sensitive position detection unit coupled to the display device and a control unit coupled to the display device and the position detection unit, wherein the method comprises the steps of:
-
detecting touched positions by the touch-sensitive position detection unit of the motor vehicle, evaluating the detected touched positions by an evaluation logic of the control unit of the motor vehicle, assigning corresponding physical properties to a plurality of objects displayed on a display area of the display device of the motor vehicle based on the evaluation of the detected touched positions, the assigned physical properties related to a value for inertia or friction of each one of the plurality of objects affecting movement of the discrete object on the display area in combination with a detected operating impulse; identifying, by the evaluation logic of the control unit, at least one sequential series of detected touched positions that continuously merge into a touch trace generated by a grazing actuation movement across the display area of the at least one display device; and applying, by the evaluation logic of the control unit, a differentiation algorithm to detect, for each identified touch trace, at least one of a speed and an acceleration of the respective touch trace, and, based on the detected at least one of a speed and an acceleration of each identified touch trace, to at least one control a representation of information on the at least one display device and control a system that can be operated via the display and control device. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
