ABSTRACT:
An in-car computing device comprising a computer unit (12), a display screen (20) for displaying information (54-58, 82), a cursor (62) and option menus with individual option menu items, and a control element (22, 23, 24) for moving the cursor on the display screen two-dimensionally and for selecting option menu items. The in-car computing device further comprises a first unit (34) for detecting a display region of predetermined information (54-58, 82) on the display, a second unit (36) for determining a pull-in region (60) of a predetermined size for a display region, and a third unit (30) for applying an operating force to the control element (22) when the cursor (62) is in the pull-in region (60) such that the cursor is moved into the corresponding display region.
