A vehicle includes a vehicle seating assembly defining a first occupant space. The assembly includes a seat bottom and a seat back operably coupled to the seat bottom. The seat back includes a head rest area and a back panel. A display is positioned on a rear of the seat back. A first camera is positioned within the display and configured to transmit a first video signal. A human machine interface includes a screen configured to display the first video signal from the first camera.

A vehicular display system includes an electronic control unit (ECU), a plurality of bird's eye surround view cameras and a plurality of camera monitoring system (CMS) cameras disposed at the vehicle. The cameras capture image data and provide captured image data to the ECU. The system includes a video display screen and a video mirror display screen that are operable to display video images derived from video images provided by the ECU. When the vehicle is traveling forward at a speed below a threshold speed, the ECU generates rearward view video images derived from image data captured by the CMS cameras and provides the rearward view video images to the video display screen. When the vehicle is traveling forward at a speed at or above the threshold speed, the ECU generates rearward view video images and provides the rearward view video images to the video mirror display screen.

A rear shell body of the monitor includes an assembling slide and a connector. A slide portion is formed on the rear shell body. The slide portion and the assembling slide are movably installed in the assembling member. The connector is electrically connected with a signal connector of the assembling member. Accordingly, the monitor may be quickly installed in the holder. During the installation, the connector may be electrically connected with the signal connector.

A holder is provided for releasably securing a flat device, such as a tablet computer or a smartphone, to a component, in particular a component of a motor vehicle. The holder comprises a mounting which can be secured to the component and a holder frame which can be releasably secured to the mounting for receiving the device. The mounting comprises a carrier having first connection elements, and the holder frame has second connection elements at two opposite edges. The first and second connection elements are designed in a complementary manner with respect to each other such that the first and second connection elements interlock for the purpose of mutual fixing when the holder frame is inserted into the mounting such that the holder frame cannot be moved out of the mounting in the holder frame plane and/or perpendicularly to the holder frame plane.

A motor vehicle includes a window and a body having a storage space with an opening facing toward the window. A flexible electronic display is movable from a first position overlying the window and a second position within the storage space. The window may be a windshield, and the storage space may be within a roof of the vehicle.

This application discloses a rotating mechanism for a display terminal and a vehicle having the same. The rotating mechanism includes: a mounting unit, a clutch unit, and a drive unit, the mounting unit being configured to mount a display terminal, the clutch unit including a first engaging portion and a second engaging portion, the first engaging portion being connected to the mounting unit, and the drive unit having a power output member capable of outputting torque, the power output member being detachably connected to the second engaging portion and capable of transmitting torque, and the first engaging portion and the second engaging portion being in power coupling connection.

A vehicle entertainment system is adapted to be mounted to a vehicle. It has a mounting bracket adapted for coupling to a dashboard of a vehicle, a vehicle seat, its headrest if present, or mounting posts for such a headrest, or into an arm-rest for a vehicle seat. A mounting arm is mounted for rotation relative to the mounting bracket about a main axis arranged in use to extend generally horizontally. A monitor unit has a front side and a rear side. The monitor unit has at least one structure enabling access to entertainment for a user. The structure may be at least one of a monitor screen on the front side, controls for an audio system on the front side, controls for an audio system on the rear side, and a slot adapted for a tablet computer to dock therein both physically and electronically with the screen of the tablet computer exposed on the rear side. The monitor unit is mounted to the mounting arm for rotation with the mounting arm about the main axis for adjustment of the angle of presentation of its front or rear side to suit a user. The monitor unit is coupled to the mounting arm by a pivot defining a pivot axis extending substantially at 45° to the main axis for rotation of the monitor unit relative to the mounting arm about this pivot axis. As a result, a user may select between presentation to the user of at least one of a monitor screen on the front side, controls for an audio system on the front side, controls for an audio system on the rear side, when present, and the screen of a tablet computer docked in the slot on the rear side of the monitor unit when present, in each case in a selected one of portrait and landscape modes.

The invention relates to a retaining device for a still or video camera in the interior of a motor vehicle with a fastening apparatus (5, 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d, 5e) for attaching the retaining device to a vehicle seat part, such as a backrest (2), headrest (3), or headrest holder (4, 4a, 4b) of a vehicle seat (1), and a carrier arm (6, 6′, 6″, 60, 60′, 60″, 62, 62′, 62″) which is oriented approximately horizontally and parallel with respect to the broad side of the backrest (2) and at one end of which a holder (7) is arranged for receiving a camera (8), wherein the carrier arm (6, 6′, 6″, 60, 60′, 60″, 62, 62′, 62″) protrudes beyond the vehicle seat part (2, 3, 4, 4a, 4b) to such an extent that the lens (8a) of the camera (8) has an uninterrupted view towards the front in the driving direction and/or towards the rear in the direction counter to the driving direction, and wherein the carrier arm (6, 6′, 6″, 60, 60′, 60″, 62, 62′, 62″) at its other end is connected via a first rotary joint (6a) with an approximately vertically-oriented rotational axis Z2 to the fastening device (5, 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d, 5e) and can be pivoted in an approximately horizontal plane.

A tablet holding assembly includes a panel that has a pair of track slots therein. A pair of arms is each pivotally coupled to and extends upwardly from the panel to releasably engage a ceiling in a vehicle. A pair of first couplers is each of the first couplers is coupled to a respective one of the arms to releasably engage the ceiling of the vehicle. A pair of second couplers is each of the second couplers is coupled to the panel to releasably engage the ceiling of the vehicle when the panel is positioned in a stored position. A pair of supports is each of the supports is coupled to the panel to support an electronic tablet on the panel. A pair of clamping units is each movably coupled to the panel to engage the electronic tablet.

A vehicular driver monitoring system includes an interior electrochromic rearview mirror assembly and a camera disposed at the interior electrochromic rearview mirror assembly behind and viewing through an electrochromic mirror reflective element into the interior cabin of the vehicle. Supplemental sources of near infrared illumination are integrated into the mirror assembly that, when powered to emit near infrared light, illuminate at least a front seating area within the interior cabin of the vehicle. Presence of the camera is not readily apparent to an occupant sitting in the interior cabin of the vehicle. The interior electrochromic rearview mirror assembly includes a processor that processes image data captured by the camera. The camera at least views a driver-side front seating area of the vehicle and, via processing at the processor of image data captured by the camera, the driver seated at the driver-side front seating area is monitored.
