MOBILE TERMINAL HOLDER STRUCTURE
A mobile terminal holder structure includes a wireless charging face disposed upright substantially normal to a vehicle length direction, and a pair of retainers horizontally spaced from each other along the wireless charging face and coming into contact with opposite side edges of a mobile terminal, respectively, to retain the mobile terminal. Each retainer is rotatable about a rotation shaft extending along the vehicle length at an upper end of the retainer. A lower end of each retainer is urged toward the opposite retainer by an elastic force of a helical torsion spring.
VEHICLE CRADLE ASSEMBLY
The present disclosure relates to a vehicle cradle assembly including a first support unit disposed on an inner surface of a cabin of a vehicle and configured to support an electronic component, an accessory, and a combination thereof, a cover disposed on an upper portion of the first support unit and configured to selectively open or close a front side of the first support unit, a winding unit disposed on the upper portion of the first support unit, coupled to an end of the cover, and configured to operate the cover to selectively open or close the front side of the first support unit, and a button unit fixed to the inner surface of the cabin of the vehicle and configured to control an operation of the winding unit by applying power to the winding unit.
Holding mechanism and holding device
A holding mechanism prevents a device at a back side of a held object from being hidden by the object. Even if a large smartphone is held, clamping with a fixed clamping part and a movable clamping part prevents the fixed part from being moved, wherein a device located back of the smartphone and at the side of the fixed clamping part cannot be hidden by the smartphone. Due to the movable clamping part being movable farther from a rotation axis than the fixed clamping part, a middle portion of the smartphone in the clamping direction substantially coincides with the rotation axis when holding a smartphone with a specified width, wherein the smartphone cannot be easily moved in a Y- and Z-direction when rotating a holding part to change orientation, and also at the back side, a device located at the side of the clamp cannot be easily hidden.
METHODS AND SYSTEMS TO REDUCE FALSE CALLS IN SELF DRIVING VEHICLES
Disclosure related to a system for detecting and reducing false calls from nearby objects in self-driving vehicles. Further, the system comprising at least one camera device having at least two lenses attached on an outside of a self-driving vehicle. The camera device configured to capture images of nearby objects, one or more sensors selected from the group consisting of a LIDAR, a SONAR, a gyroscope and an accelerometer coupled to the at least one camera device. A communication unit for communicating image data along with sensor data to a processing unit. The processing unit receives data from the camera device and the one or more sensors, and detect a true presence of an object and a true direction of the object. One lens of the camera device confirms an image captured by the other lens of the camera device through a deep learning based image data filtering technique.
IMAGE DISPLAY SYSTEM
An image display system includes a wearable device including a display configured to display an image in a field of vision of a user and a first sensor configured to detect an absolute movement of the display, and a mobile terminal including a second sensor configured to detect an absolute movement of the vehicle. The image display system further includes an image controller including a computer installed in the mobile terminal to display a subject image on the display in an AR display mode. The image controller is configured to determine a display position of the subject image on the display based at least on the absolute movement of the display detected by the first sensor and the absolute movement of the vehicle detected by the second sensor.
Tablet docking station
An apparatus for mounting an object having one or more electrical contacts within a vehicle, the object. The apparatus comprises a base configured to receive the object, the base comprising a mounting surface and a docking surface. A docking connector is coupled to the docking surface and is configured to electrically connect with the one or more electrical contacts of the object. The docking connector is movable relative to the docking surface between a first position and a second position. When the docking connector is electrically connected with the one or more electrical contacts of the object, a second main surface of the object is positioned obliquely relative to the mounting surface in the first position of the docking connector and the second main surface of the object is aligned in contact with the mounting surface in the second position of the docking connector.
MULTIFUNCTIONAL PORTABLE ARTICLE HOLDER AND VEHICLES HAVING SAME
In one aspect, a multifunctional portable article holder is provided. The holder comprises a cup holder section configured to hold a portable container, a moving holder section configured to affix a mobile device placed on and held by the cup holder section, a holder plate coupling the cup holder section and the moving holder section, and a multifunctional member composed of one or more of a folding mechanism configured to fold or unfold the cup holder section with respect to the holder plate, a tilt mechanism configured to position the mobile device on the cup holder section at different watching angles, and a sliding mechanism configured to move the moving holder section within a height-adjustable distance.
Universal Cell Phone Holder
Disclosed is a holder for retaining an electronic device within a vehicle. The holder includes a first segment oriented along a first axis, a second segment unitary with the first segment and oriented along a second axis, and a third segment unitary with the second segment and oriented along a third axis. The second segment includes opposite end portions. The vehicle includes a sun visor mounted on an elongated member mounted to an inner surface of the vehicle. The elongated member includes opposite end portions. The first segment of the holder includes a hooked end portion that is non-rotatably secured to one of the opposite end portions of the elongated member. The holder includes a strip of hook-and-loop material adhesively secured to the third segment. The cell phone has a backside surface to which is secured another strip of hook-and-loop material. One of the strips of hook-and-loop material, when engaged with and secured to the other of the strips of hook-and-loop material, secures the cell phone to the third segment.
Text Prevention Device
A text-prevention device designed to restrict the cell-phone user from texting while driving a vehicle. This device, which is installed in the vehicle, into which the phone is inserted, is a clear, rectangular-shaped case with designated openings for the user to answer the phone and access specific numbers. The device has an electrical plug at the base which fits into the cell phone's port and serves to provide power to the phone. It also serves as an electrical component to help start the vehicle and maintain operability once the phone has been inserted into the device.
Portable device holder for vehicle CD-slot mounting
Disclosed is a portable device holder for vehicle CD-slot mounting, and more particularly to a portable device holder for vehicle CD-slot mounting, in which a facing distance between a movable piece and a stationary piece to be inserted in a CD slot of a vehicle becomes shorter when external forces act thereon, and the facing distance between the movable piece and the stationary piece to be inserted in the CD slot of the vehicle becomes longer when no external forces act thereon, thereby being easily inserted in and mounted to the CD slot of the vehicle and keeping a stable and secured mounting state.
