Instead, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with aspects related to the disclosure as recited in the appended claims.
In order to use mobile phone safely and conveniently, Apple has made the product CarPlay, Google has made the product Android Auto, and Baidu has made the product CarLife, that is, smart car infotainment systems to facilitate the watching and operation of the large screen that is fixed firmly at a good position in the car. However, although the existing smart car infotainment system has a large screen, the operation interface is different from that of a mobile phone. The operation for navigation, music and video, phone call, internet browning, various apps and so on with the smart car infotainment system by driver and passenger, are usually nowhere near as familiar as that directly with phone. The car operating system application software is generally not as easy to use as the mobile phone application software, and its performance is worse than that of the mobile phone. Therefore, the smart car infotainment system cannot eliminate the original and simple car mobile phone holder. So far, people have made various car phone holders to support the phone to facilitate the one-handed operation of the driver. The existing car mobile phone holders are mounted on the window glass, air outlet, CD slot, cup holder, or car cigarette lighter socket. The mobile phone holder is not firmly mounted and easy to fall off; when powering the mobile phone, it also needs to use an obstructive charging cable. The problems of phone falling off and cable obstructing always disturb humans. And humans always do efforts from various aspect and have gotten a lot of progress. However, the solutions are still not enough.
In U.S. Ser. No. 10/797,436B2, U.S. Ser. No. 11/056,828B2 and Japanese patent JP6883871B2, the disclosures of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety, the inventor used the car cigarette lighter socket to support the mobile phone holder and the mobile phone, and the mobile phone is electrically connected at the same time. It has better convenience and performance than before. Here, the present application adopts a USB connector socket, and also adopts a different structure to support the mobile phone holder and the mobile phone, and the mobile phone is electrically connected at the same time. In this way, the mobile phone can be connected to the car with high performance, which also improves the convenience and versatility. However, the USB connector is relatively small, especially the new version USB-C connector, which is small in size and small in mechanical strength, making it difficult to support mobile phone holders and mobile phones. If the USB connector socket plug is directly used to support the mobile phone or mobile phone holder, the vibration of the car or the inertial force during acceleration and deceleration will easily break the USB connector socket plug, short-circuit the wire, and cause damage to the car device or mobile phone, or cause a car fire. Therefore, the USB connector socket plug is not suitable for directly supporting a mobile phone or a mobile phone holder. In addition, this application also improves the structure of using the car cigarette lighter socket to support the mobile phone holder and the mobile phone, so that it is more versatile and flexible, more beautiful and not in the way.
When the mobile phone is fixed on the dashboard of the car, the USB connector plug electrode 12 is inserted into the jack electrode 9 of the USB connector socket, and the lower surface of the flange 13 contacts the upper surface of the socket, that is, the entrance end face of the socket. When the internal thread of the threaded locking cap 4 is screwed on the sunken external thread 10, the threaded locking cap 4 and the inlet end surface of the socket squeeze the flange 13 from the upper and lower sides to fix them together. Due to the marching of the USB connectors, the jack electrode 9 and the plug electrode 12 are electrically connected. Because the mobile phone connection holding mechanism 7 and the USB connector plug are a component, the internal wiring or circuit of the component electrically connects the plug electrode 12 to the mobile phone connector plug electrode 14. Here the mobile phone connector plug electrode 14 is USB-C Type, the phone is an Android phone. The mobile phone on the mobile phone connection holding mechanism moves from top to bottom, and the connector jack electrode of the mobile phone is sleeved on the plug electrode 14, so that the mobile phone is electrically connected, and the mobile phone is also fixed on the mobile phone connection holding mechanism. The mobile phone connector plug electrode 14, currently mainly are the USB-C connector of Google's Android system and the Lightning connector of Apple's iOS system. These two kinds of connectors have not only the power supply connection, but also the powerful signal connection. The previous old type connectors include Micro USB, Mini USB and so on. The latest generation of USB version is USB4, and the transmission speed can reach 40 Gbit/s.
The car infotainment system is an integrated system that combines hardware and software in a car. It provides audio and video content to the driver or passenger in the form of information and entertainment. It also play an important role in auto-driving or car detection and control. The connection converter 33 of the car is the central component of the main connection control of the car infotainment system. More than 20 years ago, Cars had radios and CD players. Mobile phones could also transmit sound signals to the car through AUX audio cables. The car speakers produced high-quality sound. In recent years, there have been good operating screens in cars, and mobile phone applications can be operated on the car, for mobile phone satellite navigation, phone calls, music playback, etc. The car speakers produce high-quality sound, and the car large screen shows images. Such a car infotainment system is called a smart car infotainment system. Apple's product CarPlay, Google's product Android Auto, and Baidu's product CarLife are widely used smart car infotainment systems.
The multi-functionalization of mobile phones enables mobile phones to become part of the car infotainment system. Meanwhile, the basic condition is that the mobile phone needs to have electrical power at all times to enable the mobile phone to communicate with other parts of the car's in-vehicle infotainment system. In the car mobile phone connection device of the present disclosure, the power and signal of the USB connector socket of the car pass through the USB connector plug, the mobile phone connector plug of the mobile phone connection holding mechanism, and directly connect to the connector socket of the mobile phone to supply power and signal to the mobile phone, and no additional charging signal line is required. At the same time, the mobile phone connection holding mechanism is also firmly supported on the USB connector socket of the car through the USB connector plug. The component of the USB connector plug and the mobile phone connection holding mechanism are likely to become a car aftermarket product that is not sourced from the car's maker. Therefore, it can be easily designed into various shapes by many after-market product companies. For example, the support rod 5 can be designed to be adjustable in length, direction, and position, which is convenient for car drivers or passengers to operate on a mobile phone. When the phone is not in operation or in use, it can be adjusted to a less obstructive shape. The mobile phone connection and holding mechanism can also be designed in various shapes.
The mobile phone connection holding mechanism can also have a magnet wireless charging board, which get power connection from the USB connector plug through the internal wiring or circuit. When human hand moves the mobile phone near the wireless charging board, the magnet attracts the iron parts or magnet parts on the mobile phone, so that the mobile phone is attracted to the wireless charging board to power or charge the mobile phone. At this time, the mobile phone can communicate with other parts of the car infotainment system or with the car's connection converter 33 through Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or NFC wireless electrical communication. The wireless charging board can also have gripping claws to hold the mobile phone.
In the car mobile phone connection device of the present disclosure, the mobile phone is connected electrically to the mobile phone connector plug on the holding mechanism. According to the USB power supply protocol, the mobile phone is connected electrically with a fixed voltage and current power supply, or a variable voltage or current, or smart fast and slow Recharge. USB Power Delivery (USB PD) is a relatively new fast charge standard. In May 2021, the USB Promoter Group announced the release of the USB Power Delivery (USB PD) Revision 3.1 specification to enable delivering up to 240 W of power over the USB Type-C cable and connector. The wireless charging board can adjust the wireless transmission power to power on the mobile phone or intelligently charge quickly and slowly. The wireless charging board can also have the function of transmitting and receiving NFC wireless electrical communication signals.

The specific meanings of the above terms in the present disclosure can be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art on a case-by-case basis.
In the description of the present disclosure, the terms “one embodiment,” “some embodiments,” “example,” “specific example,” or “some examples,” and the like can indicate a specific feature described in connection with the embodiment or example, a structure, a material or feature included in at least one embodiment or example. In the present disclosure, the schematic representation of the above terms is not necessarily directed to the same embodiment or example.
Moreover, the particular features, structures, materials, or characteristics described can be combined in a suitable manner in any one or more embodiments or examples. In addition, various embodiments or examples described in the specification, as well as features of various embodiments or examples, can be combined and reorganized.
To provide for interaction with a user, implementations of the subject matter described in this specification can be implemented with a computer and/or a display device, e.g., a VR/AR device, a head-mount display (HMD) device, a head-up display (HUD) device, smart eyewear (e.g., glasses), a CRT (cathode-ray tube), LCD (liquid-crystal display), OLED (organic light emitting diode), or any other monitor for displaying information to the user and a keyboard, a pointing device, e.g., a mouse, trackball, etc., or a touch screen, touch pad, etc., by which the user can provide input to the computer.
While this specification contains many specific implementation details, these should not be construed as limitations on the scope of any claims, but rather as descriptions of features specific to particular implementations. Certain features that are described in this specification in the context of separate implementations can also be implemented in combination in a single implementation. Conversely, various features that are described in the context of a single implementation can also be implemented in multiple implementations separately or in any suitable subcombination.
Moreover, although features can be described above as acting in certain combinations and even initially claimed as such, one or more features from a claimed combination can in some cases be excised from the combination, and the claimed combination can be directed to a subcombination or variation of a subcombination.
Similarly, while operations are depicted in the drawings in a particular order, this should not be understood as requiring that such operations be performed in the particular order shown or in sequential order, or that all illustrated operations be performed, to achieve desirable results. In certain circumstances, multitasking and parallel processing can be advantageous. Moreover, the separation of various system components in the implementations described above should not be understood as requiring such separation in all implementations, and it should be understood that the described program components and systems can generally be integrated together in a single software product or packaged into multiple software products.
As such, particular implementations of the subject matter have been described. Other implementations are within the scope of the following claims. In some cases, the actions recited in the claims can be performed in a different order and still achieve desirable results. In addition, the processes depicted in the accompanying figures do not necessarily require the particular order shown, or sequential order, to achieve desirable results. In certain implementations, multitasking or parallel processing can be utilized.
It is intended that the specification and embodiments be considered as examples only. Other embodiments of the disclosure will be apparent to those skilled in the art in view of the specification and drawings of the present disclosure. That is, although specific embodiments have been described above in detail, the description is merely for purposes of illustration. It should be appreciated, therefore, that many aspects described above are not intended as required or essential elements unless explicitly stated otherwise.
Various modifications of, and equivalent acts corresponding to, the disclosed aspects of the example embodiments, in addition to those described above, can be made by a person of ordinary skill in the art, having the benefit of the present disclosure, without departing from the spirit and scope of the disclosure defined in the following claims, the scope of which is to be accorded the broadest interpretation so as to encompass such modifications and equivalent structures.
It should be understood that “a plurality” or “multiple” as referred to herein means two or more. “And/or,” describing the association relationship of the associated objects, indicates that there may be three relationships, for example, A and/or B may indicate that there are three cases where A exists separately, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists separately. The character “/” generally indicates that the contextual objects are in an “or” relationship.
In the present disclosure, it is to be understood that the terms “lower,” “upper,” “under” or “beneath” or “underneath,” “above,” “front,” “back,” “left,” “right,” “top,” “bottom,” “inner,” “outer,” “horizontal,” “vertical,” and other orientation or positional relationships are based on example orientations illustrated in the drawings, and are merely for the convenience of the description of some embodiments, rather than indicating or implying the device or component being constructed and operated in a particular orientation. Therefore, these terms are not to be construed as limiting the scope of the present disclosure.
Moreover, the terms “first” and “second” are used for descriptive purposes only and are not to be construed as indicating or implying a relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Thus, elements referred to as “first” and “second” may include one or more of the features either explicitly or implicitly. In the description of the present disclosure, “a plurality” indicates two or more unless specifically defined otherwise.
In the present disclosure, a first element being “on” a second element may indicate direct contact between the first and second elements, without contact, or indirect geometrical relationship through one or more intermediate media or layers, unless otherwise explicitly stated and defined. Similarly, a first element being “under,” “underneath” or “beneath” a second element may indicate direct contact between the first and second elements, without contact, or indirect geometrical relationship through one or more intermediate media or layers, unless otherwise explicitly stated and defined.
Some other embodiments of the present disclosure can be available to those skilled in the art upon consideration of the specification and practice of the various embodiments disclosed herein. The present application is intended to cover any variations, uses, or adaptations of the present disclosure following general principles of the present disclosure and include the common general knowledge or conventional technical means in the art without departing from the present disclosure. The specification and examples can be shown as illustrative only, and the true scope and spirit of the disclosure are indicated by the following claims.
This present disclosure claims benefit of and priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 63/231,729 filled on Aug. 11, 2021, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
