ABSTRACT
At present, devices are establishing themselves on the mobile device market which permit personalization and expansion by means of applications. These applications are increasingly also expected in the vehicle. In contrast to mobile devices, an expandable system in the vehicle is subject to special requirements. These are discussed in this publication and existing approaches are evaluated with regard to the requirements. In this case, outplacing subsequent applications to a smartphone or web server is identified as the best solution. For user interface (UI) integration to the driver information system, final user interface descriptions are identified as a good compromise between complexity and reusability. An improved approach for UI transfer with final UI descriptions using HTML is presented. Compared to existing concepts, this achieves an improvement in the form of graphical quality, response behaviour, reusability and complexity. A prototype implementation makes it clear that a series production system can be subsequently expanded with applications that cannot be distinguished from the basic functions of the driver information system in terms of graphical quality and response behaviour.
