A method and device for selecting input fields displayed on a screen and/or for activating input content displayed in a selected input field on the screen by manual inputs into an input area of an input interface. The input interface is designed for the haptic input of gestures into the input area, in order to control the selection of an input field, and for the activation of input content of a selected input field by triggering an electrical switching function of the input interface by means of exerting a predefined minimum force on the input area. A displacement vector V(POS(t.sub.1),POS(t.sub.2)) is determined from determined input positions POS(t.sub.1),POS(t.sub.2) of a manual, continuous input of gestures into the input area at a first point in time t.sub.1 and a second point in time t.sub.2, where t:=time and t.sub.1<t.sub.2. An absolute value |F(t)| of a surface area F(t), with which the manual gesture input acts on the input area is determined. Provided that: |F(t.sub.2)|<|F(t.sub.1)|: the input field adjacent or at least closest to a position POS.sub.SCREEN(POS(t.sub.1)) associated with the position POS(t.sub.1) on the screen as seen in the direction of the displacement vector V(POS(t.sub.1),POS(t.sub.2)) is selected. Triggering the electrical switching function at the point in time t.sub.2 activates a function associated with the input content of this input field, and, provided that (|F(t.sub.2)|>|F(t.sub.1)|), the displacement vector V(POS(t.sub.1),POS(t.sub.2)) is disregarded and the function associated with the position POS.sub.SCREEN(POS(t.sub.1)) is activated.
