Abstract

Disclosed herein is an in-vehicle reproducing system, including: a reproducing device; and a display device detachably mounted to the reproducing device, wherein the reproducing device is fixed to a vehicle and includes a reproducing portion obtaining at least a video signal from an attachable storage medium, a manipulation portion carrying out control for reproduction from the attachable storage medium, a first wireless communication portion transmitting the video signal to the display device, and an electric power transmitting portion transmitting an electric power to the display device through non-contact electric power transmission, and the display device includes an electric power receiving portion receiving the electric power transmitted thereto from the reproducing device through the non-contact electric power transmission, a second wireless communication portion receiving the video signal from the reproducing device, and a display portion displaying thereon an image based on the video signal received in the second wireless communication portion.

Claims

1. An in-vehicle reproducing system, comprising:

a reproducing device; and

a display device detachably mounted to said reproducing device, wherein

said reproducing device is fixed to a vehicle and includes

a reproducing portion configured to obtain at least a video signal from an attachable storage medium,

a manipulation portion configured to carry out control for reproduction from said attachable storage medium,

a first wireless communication portion configured to transmit the video signal to said display device, and

an electric power transmitting portion configured to transmit an electric power to said display device through non-contact electric power transmission, and

said display device includes

an electric power receiving portion configured to receive the electric power transmitted thereto from said reproducing device through the non-contact electric power transmission,

a second wireless communication portion configured to receive the video signal from said reproducing device, and

a display portion configured to display thereon an image based on the video signal received in said second wireless communication portion.

2. The in-vehicle reproducing system according to claim 1, wherein a touch panel type input portion is provided on a surface of said display portion of said display device.

3. The in-vehicle reproducing system according to claim 2, wherein

a control signal corresponding to a manipulation carried out in said touch panel type input portion is transmitted from said second communication portion to said first communication portion;

and

said reproducing device controls the reproduction from the storage medium.

4. The in-vehicle reproducing system according to claim 1, wherein when the transmission of the electric power is not carried out between said reproducing device and said display device through the non-contact electric power transmission, an electric charge storing portion supplies the electric power to said display device.

5. A display device, comprising:

an electric power receiving portion configured to receive an electric power transmitted thereto from a reproducing device fixed to a vehicle through non-contact electric power transmission;

a wireless communication portion configured to receive a video signal from said reproducing device; and

a display portion configured to display thereon an image based on the video signal received in said wireless communication portion.

6. The display device according to claim 5, wherein a touch panel type input portion is provided on a surface of said display portion of said display device.

7. The display device according to claim 6, wherein a control signal corresponding to a manipulation carried out in said touch panel type input portion is transmitted from said wireless communication portion to said reproducing device.

8. The display device according to claim 5, wherein when the transmission of the electric power is not carried out to said electric power receiving portion through the non-contact electric power transmission, an electric charge storing portion supplies the electric power.
