Abstract

An assignment of at least one state variable to a respective graphic object is carried out as a function of a user input. An assignment of a respective vehicle parameter or personal characteristic to one state variable respectively, which is assigned to the respective graphic object, is carried out as a function of a user input. This takes place with the inclusion of a respective assignment function, which represents an imaging rule of the respective vehicle parameter or personal characteristic onto the respective state variable.

The computer program product is generated in an automated manner, specifically such that it is designed for generating a signalizing signal during its run, which signalizing signal is a function of the respective currently provided value of the respective vehicle parameter or personal characteristic, which is assigned to the respective graphic object, and which signalizing signal is designed for signalizing the graphic object or objects corresponding to the respective assignment function relative to the respective currently provided value of the respective vehicle parameter or personal characteristic on an imaging system.

providing one or more vehicle parameters and/or personal characteristics;

assigning at least one of the state variables to the respective one of the one or more three-dimensional objects as a function of a user input;

assigning, as a function of the user input, a respective vehicle parameter or personal characteristic to one of the at least one state variables, respectively, which at least one state variable is assigned to the respective one of the one or more three-dimensional objects, wherein said assigning the respective vehicle parameter or personal characteristic comprises a respective assignment function that represents an imaging rule of the respective vehicle parameter or personal characteristic onto the respective state variable; and

generating the computer program product in an automated manner, wherein the computer program product is configured to generate a control signal during execution, which control signal is a function of a respective currently-provided value of the respective vehicle parameter or personal characteristic, which is assigned to the respective one of the one or more three-dimensional objects, and which control signal is configured for controlling the one or more three-dimensional objects corresponding to the respective assignment function relative to the respective currently-provided value of the respective vehicle parameter or personal characteristic.

6. The method according to claim 2, wherein the respective assignment function comprises at least one function parameter, which is determined in an automated manner as a function of respective value domains of the respective state variable and of the respective vehicle parameter or personal characteristic.

10. The method according to claim 2, wherein the respective assignment function comprises at least one function parameter which is specified as a function of a user input, and wherein the method further comprises checking whether a respective value domain of the respective vehicle parameter or personal characteristic is imaged within a value domain of the respective state variable by the respective assignment function and, only if so, classifying the at least one function parameter as being valid.
