Method for operating a control system for a vehicle and control system for a vehicle

摘要

A method for operating an operator control system having a graphical display unit and a touch-sensitive interface, wherein coordinates from information presented on the display unit are associated with coordinates of the touch-sensitive interface. Also disclosed is an operator control system for a vehicle having a graphical display unit that presents a piece of information for a user; a touch-sensitive interface that detects a touch by the user; and a control unit coupled to the display unit and the touch-sensitive interface, the control unit controlling presentation of at least one operator control panel on the display unit.

1. A method for operating an operator control system for a vehicle, wherein the operator control system comprises a graphical display unit and a touch-sensitive interface, wherein coordinates from information presented on the display unit are associated with coordinates of the touch-sensitive interface, the method comprising:
presenting a plurality of operator control panels on the display unit, wherein the plurality of operator control panels are provided for a user to touch to operate operator control functions; detecting of a touch on the touch-sensitive interface by the user; determining whether any of the plurality of operator control panels has been hit during the touch based on comparison of coordinates of the touch with coordinates of the plurality of operator control panels; recognizing the touch as a mishit based on a determination that the touch-sensitive interface has been touched outside coordinates of the plurality of operator control panels; determining distances between the coordinates of the touch and each of the plurality of operator control panels; identifying the operator control panel having a shortest distance to the coordinates of the touch; selecting for enlargement the operator control panel having the shortest distance; and enlarging presentation of the selected operator control panel if a mishit is determined, wherein the enlargement produces an enlarged presentation of only the selected operator control panel from among the plurality of operator control panels, and wherein only the selected operator control panel is enlarged and the enlarged presentation of that operator control panel is enlarged such that the enlarged presentation comprises the coordinates of the touch previously determined to be the mishit.
