Abstract:
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 at least one operator control panel on the display unit, wherein the at least one operator control panel is provided for a user to touch to operate an operator control function; detecting of a touch on the touch-sensitive interface by the user determining whether the at least one operator control panel has been hit during the touch based on comparison of coordinates of the touch with coordinates of the at least one operator control panel; and recognizing the touch as a mishit based on a determination that the touch-sensitive interface has been touched outside coordinates of the at least one operator control panel; enlarging presentation of the at least one operator control panel if a mishit is determined, wherein enlargement decreases as the distance between the coordinates of the at least one operator control panel and the coordinates of the mishit increases.
