Abstract
The invention relates to a method for carrying out a variable dialog with technical equipment that has a display and an input, such as a television screen with a touch keyboard. According to the invention, the dialog is to be carried out by means of the fisheye principle, in which, by means of one or more multi-stage input elements, the extent or scope of the functions that are shown and accessible in parallel, by means of a threshold value indicator, is adjustable by means of an input operation.
