Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

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.
