Abstract

See full text

A sunroof control interface, as well as a method of using the interface, is provided. The interface may use a visual representation of the vehicle's exterior and/or a slide controller to help the user to quickly identify the desired sunroof position. Assuming a touch-screen interface, a tap-and-slide motion is used with either the visual representation of the vehicle or the slide controller to select the desired sunroof position. A select-and-slide motion may also be used with a mouse controller. The visual depiction of the vehicle may include a phantom sunroof overlay to further aid the user in selecting the desired sunroof position. A numerical indicator may be used with either the overlay or the slide controller to indicate the selected sunroof position relative to a fully open or fully closed sunroof.
