Claims
- 1. A vehicle data system comprising
- vehicle data bus means for conveying data to respective different data processing locations of the vehicle,
- coupling means disposed at each of the different data processing locations of the vehicle for selectively coupling a data device at the data processing locations, the coupling means having an inactive state with respect to said vehicle data bus means upon having an open connection and upon an inactive data device being coupled thereby to said data bus means,
- vehicle power means for supplying operating power to the vehicle data bus means, and
- mobile mount adapter means coupled with said vehicle data bus means by at least one of said coupling means, said mobile mount adapter means having receptacle means for receiving and retaining a portable data device for data interchange via the vehicle data bus means.
- 2. A vehicle data system according to claim 1, with printer means having a coupling with said vehicle power means and with a respective one of said coupling means at one of said data processing locations for coupling said printer means removably to said vehicle data bus means.
- 3. A vehicle data system comprising
- vehicle data path means for conveying data to a data processing location of the vehicle,
- coupling means coupled with the data processing location of the vehicle via the data path means and for selectively coupling a data device to the data processing location via the data path means, the coupling means having an inactive state with respect to said vehicle data path means upon having an open connection and upon an inactive data device being coupled thereby to said data path means,
- vehicle power means for supplying operating power to the vehicle data path means, and
- mobile mount adapter means coupled with said vehicle data path means by said coupling means, said mobile mount adapter means having receptacle means for receiving and retaining a portable data device for data interchange with the data processing location via the vehicle data path means.
- 4. A vehicle data system according to claim 3, with printer means at the data processing location having a coupling with said vehicle power means and with said vehicle data path means.
