Abstract:
A touch-sensitive display apparatus and a control apparatus are included in an operating device of a motor vehicle. The control apparatus is configured, in a first operating mode, to display on the display apparatus a screen keyboard for receiving a character sequence from a user. A driver is not to operate the on-screen keyboard during a journey. A sensor apparatus is configured to detect an approach of an object to the display apparatus, a distinction being drawn between a driver approach from a predetermined driver side and a passenger approach from a passenger side opposite the driver side. The control apparatus is configured to deactivate the first operating mode in the event of a detected driver approach of the object and, instead, to activate an alternative operating mode that is different from the first operating mode.

Claim (Index 26):
A method for receiving a character sequence from a user by an operating device in a motor vehicle, the method comprising:\n displaying, in a first operating mode, via a controller of the operating device, a screen keyboard for receiving the character sequence on a touch-sensitive display; detecting, via a sensor, whether an object that approaches the touch-sensitive display apparatus is a driver-side approach by the object from a driver side of the motor vehicle or a passenger-side approach by the object from a passenger side of the motor vehicle opposite the driver side; and when the driver-side approach by the object from the driver side is detected, deactivating, via the controller, the first operating mode in which the screen keyboard is displayed on the touch-sensitive display so that the screen keyboard is not available to a driver positioned on the driver side, and activating a second operating mode which differs from the first operating mode and in which an alternative input for receiving the character sequence through an alternative screen keyboard is provided on the touch-sensitive display.
