METHOD FOR SELECTIVE ACTUATION BY RECOGNITION OF THE PREFERENTIAL DIRECTION

A selective actuation, in a chronological order, of at least two functions with an input means that is set up to capture at least two-dimensional coupled movements, in that, for each movement section, a preferential direction for the captured movement parallel to or in a direction along a parallel from at least two prescribed, non-parallel straight lines is ascertained and wherein each straight line or each direction along one of the straight lines has precisely one of the at least two functions associated with it, and only the function that is associated with the straight line that is parallel to the preferential direction or with the direction that corresponds to the preferential direction is actuated, and the selective actuation, in chronological order, of the at least two functions involves the use of only that portion of the respective movement section that is directed in the preferential direction in each case.
