Method for controlling the outputting of messages
View Patent ↗A method for controlling the outputting of messages in an information system of a motor vehicle, the messages being assigned priorities, there is provision for the sequence, the time and, if appropriate, also the method (visual, audible, tactile) of the outputting of the messages to depend on the priority of the respective message and on criteria which are formed from information received from the information system.
1. A method for controlling the outputting of messages in an information system of a motor vehicle, comprising:
assigning a priority to each of a plurality of messages;
determining a sequence and a duration for an outputting of the messages based on the respective priorities of the messages;
receiving information at the information system; and
altering the sequence of the outputting of the plurality of messages based on criteria which are formed from the information received at the information system.
2. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein at least some of the information is transmitted by sensors in the motor vehicle to the information system.
3. the method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein at least some of the information is transmitted by information systems which are located outside the motor vehicle.
4. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein further criteria are stored in the information system.
5. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein, when selected criteria are fulfilled, messages are delayed until the respective criterion is no longer fulfilled.
6. The method as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the selected criterion is the travel situation.
7. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein one of the criteria includes traffic conditions.
8. the method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein one of the criteria includes weather conditions.
9. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein one of the criteria includes a state of a road.
10. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein one of the criteria includes a state of a driver.
11. the method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein one of the criteria includes a driver type.
12. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein one of the criteria is formed by use preferences which can be input.
13. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the outputting is selected as a function of the priority and the criteria.
14. A method for controlling the outputting of messages in an information system of a motor vehicle, comprising:
assigning a priority to each of a plurality of messages, wherein a sequence and a time of the outputting of the messages depend on the priority of a respective message and on criteria which are formed from information received from the information system;
wherein messages which are to be output are evaluated in each case with a code number which is calculated from the priority and the criteria, and the outputting is carried out with the sequence of the code numbers.
