An information system for a vehicle is provided, as is a corresponding method for operating the information system and a thereto related computer program product.

An input device configured for a vehicle in which a display area and an input area are realized as a single body so that a degree of freedom of design may be improved, may include a body having a display area and an input area, and a touch assembly disposed under the input area, and one or more input elements and one or more indicators are formed in the input area.

An adaptive cruise control system for a vehicle may include an access device configured to receive manual input and responsively generate control signals for use in controlling acceleration, braking and steering of a vehicle. The adaptive cruise control system may also include at least one additional device located remote from the access device and configured to receive manual input and responsively generate control signals for use in controlling acceleration, braking and steering of the vehicle. The adaptive cruise control system may further include a controller in communication with the access device and the at least one additional device. The controller may be configured to control acceleration, braking and steering of the vehicle based on the manual input received via the access device and the at least one additional device.

A motor vehicle has a vehicle interior in which a flexible OLED display device is arranged, To create a high degree of individualization with a simple design, the flexible OLED display device is part of an interior panel and at least one electrical servomotor is provided and adjusts the flexible OLED display device for the representation of spatial structures.

A panel for a vehicle interior including a cover layer and a mask layer, wherein the cover layer has a frontside and a backside, and the mask layer is disposed at the backside of the cover layer. The cover layer includes a semi-transparent layer. The cover layer has a light transmittance of at most 90 percent in a direction perpendicular to the frontside, wherein the mask layer comprises a transparent display region and an opaque region, wherein the opaque region is located adjacent to the display region.

A center fascia and controlling method thereof are disclosed. The present invention includes receiving a user input from a user through an interface module and differently displaying a screen in accordance with at least one of a location of the interface module, a direction faced by a specific portion of the interface module and a touch input to the interface module.

The invention relates to a display and operating device (10) for at least one vehicle component, in particular a radio, a CD and/or DVD player or similar audio and/or video player, a navigation device, an infotainment device, a heating, ventilating or aid condition control unit, or a human-machine interface, which is provided with a mechanical control element (18) for setting an operational parameter of at least one first vehicle component and a touch screen (12) for outputting information, and control keys (14) and/or other operational parameters for the first vehicle component and/or at least one second vehicle component. The touch screen (12) comprises a recess (16) and the mechanical operating element (18) is arranged in the recess (16) of the touch screen (12).

A flexible display apparatus and an adjusting apparatus which is designed to move the flexible display apparatus from a stowing position into a usage position are included in a display device for a motor vehicle. The adjusting apparatus is designed to bend the flexible display apparatus from the stowing position into the usage position.

An input device or an input/output device that is suitable for increasing in size is provided. An input device or an input/output device that can be driven at high frequencies is provided. An input device includes a plurality of row wirings and a plurality of column wirings. To each of the plurality of row wirings, periodic rectangular waves are applied. When attention is paid to one row wiring Xi (i is greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to m?1), a signal that has a phase opposite to that of a signal applied to the row wiring Xi and that is delayed for a given period is applied to a row wiring Xi+1, which is the row wiring next to the row wiring Xi. The width of each of the rectangular waves applied to the row wirings corresponds to a frame period.
