Abstract:
A mobile telephone docking station has a housing sized to accommodate communications and power circuitry for a mobile telephone. A mobile telephone docking unit is attached to the housing and extends behind the front surface of the housing to provide a compact profile. The docking unit is sized to receive a mobile telephone. A keypad and a display for displaying status information of the mobile telephone are attached to the front surface of the housing. Preferably a mirrored surface is provided on the front surface between the display and the keypad. A mounting bracket attaches the housing to a vehicle windshield. If a mirrored surface is provided on the front of the housing this docking station can replace the rear view mirror of the vehicle.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a built-in mobile telephone (2) device (1) for motor vehicles, comprising a central control unit (3) and an interface for exchanging signals between the central control unit (3) of the mobile telephone (2) and the motor vehicle. The built-in device (1) also has an adaptable control unit (5) which is specific to the type of automobile, enabling the functions of the interface and/or central control unit to be adapted accordingly. The built-in automobile device (1) provides a modular construction, which can be electrically and mechanically adapted to various types of motor vehicles so that the central control unit and the interface can be identical for even the most disparate types of motor vehicles. The invention also provides a built-in automobile device (1) for a mobile telephone (2), comprising a central unit (3) and an interface for connection to said vehicle. The interface is designed to connect the built-in device (1) to the motor vehicle in a selective manner by means of a standard plug-in connection (4) or a plug-in connection which is specific to the type of vehicle. The built-in automobile device can thus be easily adapted to the type of plug use in the respective type of vehicle.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a device for installing a mobile telephone in a motor vehicle. Said device comprises an HF transmitter (3) connected to an antenna (4) and an interface (6) making it possible to transfer at least control signals between the installation device (1) for motor vehicles and the mobile telephone (2). The HF transmitter can be controlled by means of the mobile telephone (2). By shortening the HF transmission cable, line losses can be reduced. Signal transmission between the interface (6) of the installation device (1) for motor vehicles and the mobile telephone (2) is preferably carried out in a wireless manner by infrared radiation.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a radio transmitting apparatus (1), in particular for a mobile radiotelephone service, of a first predetermined power stage, the radiation power of which can be enhanced by connection of an HF-amplification circuit. The radio transmitting apparatus (1) has an antenna output (5), to which an input (10) of an HF amplification circuit (15) can be connected, for operating the radio transmitting apparatus (1) in a higher, second power stage. In accordance with an HF amplification circuit connected to the radio transmitting apparatus (1), a transmission unit (20) of the radio transmitting apparatus (1) emits signals for sending to a radio network, which contain information about operation at the corresponding power stage.
Abstract:
A cordless telephone is accommodated in a casing having a base and a lid movable relative thereto, between which a storage space for the telephone is formed. The casing is provided with one or several attachments connected to the telephone such as a spare battery, a battery charging device, one or several connectors for electrically connecting the telephone, an answering machine, a modem, a computer, interface means for connection to an external computer, or an audio amplifier with a microphone and a loudspeaker.
Abstract:
A transceiver system for interfacing digital modems with radio frequency signals is described. The system includes a modem interface connected to the antenna interface via a coax cable, and an antenna. Circuits for providing power regulation of the exchanged signals include power detection circuits and attenuators in the antenna interface as well as in the modem interface.
Abstract:
A holder device (120) for securely holding a portable radio (110) is disclosed which allows an accessory connector (130) of an accessory device (140) to be engaged to the radio. The interior housing of the holder device (120) includes an attachment means (122) to which the accessory connector (130) may be removably attached. Thereafter, the radio (110) may be inserted into the holder device (120) and be engaged to the accessory connector (130).
Abstract:
In a converter console (110) for converting a portable radio (12) to mobile operation, a sleeve (25) for receiving the portable radio and improved mounting apparatus which positions the sleeve so the portable can be easily inserted and smoothly moves the sleeve into a loaded position in which the portable is connected for control by the console and for receiving power from the vehicle. The mounting apparatus holds the various contacts firmly together to prevent contact chatter. Also included are locking apparatus (60) which prevent relative movement between the portable/sleeve and the housing to eliminate contact chatter under extreme vibration and reduce theft and improper use.
Abstract:
A holder for securing a phone, smartphone or tablet device while driving in a vehicle. The holder has a frame for supporting the device with a socket shaped to receive at least a portion of the device; and a clamping mechanism configured to secure the device in the socket. The holder has a lock connected to the clamping mechanism; and a cable connectable to the vehicle to receive a signal from the vehicle indicative of a state of the vehicle. The lock is responsive to the signal and is configured, when the vehicle is in a first state, to lock the clamping mechanism so that the device is secured and cannot be removed from the holder, and when the vehicle is in a second state, to unlock the clamping mechanism so that the device is free to be removed from the holder.
Abstract:
A two-part mounting system for easier and more secure transport of a mobile phone or other hand-held electronic device comprising a handle and complementary receiving mount. More specifically, the handle is comprised of a base, a flexible strap, and an adhesive backer, and the complementary mount is dome-shaped and comprised of a rounded top, a slot for receiving the flexible strap, and a bottom for receiving the base. The handle and complementary mount physically interlock by virtue of the shape of the base and receiving mount and the tension of the flexible strap around the complementary mount. The two-part mounting system can then securely attach the electronic device to an additional fixed or mobile mount.
