Abstract

The invention relates to a mobile telephone integration system for integration of a mobile telephone into a vehicle.

Claims

1. A mobile telephone integration system for integration of a mobile telephone into a vehicle, comprising at least a first adapter and a holding and/or contact apparatus,

the adapter comprising a bearing surface,

it being possible for the mobile telephone to be placed on the bearing surface,

the holding and/or contact apparatus being fastened to the vehicle,

the adapter being detachably connected to the holding and/or contact apparatus and comprising a main body,

the adapter comprising at least one interface to the mobile telephone,

the first interface of the adapter being in the form of a wireless charging interface by means of which electrical energy can be wirelessly transmitted from a charging coil of an inductive charging unit of the adapter to a receiver coil of the mobile telephone, and

the adapter being mechanically connected to the holding and/or contact apparatus in a use position,

the adapter being connected electrically by wire and/or electrically wirelessly to the holding and/or contact apparatus in the use position in such a way that a multicore electrical line of the adapter is connected electrically by wire and/or electrically wirelessly to a multicore electrical line of the holding and/or contact apparatus.

2. The mobile telephone integration system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the adapter comprises a second interface, which is in the form of a wireless antenna coupling interface in particular, by means of which antenna signals can be transmitted between a coupling antenna of a coupling device of the adapter and an antenna of the mobile telephone.

3. The mobile telephone integration system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the adapter is mechanically connected to the holding and/or contact apparatus in a use position in such a way that an interlocking connection between the adapter and the holding and/or contact apparatus is established by at least one holding means, said connection being designed in such a way that the adapter is fixed to the holding and/or contact apparatus to prevent removal.

4. The mobile telephone integration system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the wireless charging interface of the first adapter is operated in accordance with a first standard.

5. The mobile telephone integration system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the mobile telephone integration system additionally or alternatively comprises a second adapter, a wireless charging interface of the second adapter being operated in accordance with a second standard.

6. The mobile telephone integration system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the mobile telephone integration system additionally or alternatively comprises at least one further adapter, a wireless charging interface of the further adapter being operated in accordance with a further standard.

7. The mobile telephone integration system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the first adapter and/or the second adapter and/or the further adapter comprise/comprises the at least one holding means, the holding means being arranged on the adapter such that it can pivot, in particular against a spring force of a spring, about a pivot axis, or such that it can be displaced, in particular against a spring force of a spring, or such that it can be rotated about a rotation axis, in particular against a spring force of a spring.

8. The mobile telephone integration system as claimed in claim 7, wherein the holding and/or contact apparatus comprises at least one recess for the engagement of a free end of the holding means of the adapter.

9. The mobile telephone integration system as claimed in claim 7, wherein the mobile telephone integration system comprises a control means, the operation of said control means operating the at least one holding means against the spring force in such a way that, in the use position, the interlocking connection between the holding means and the holding and/or contact apparatus is canceled, the control means in particular passing through the adapter, out of the charging surface, during operation.

10. The mobile telephone integration system as claimed in claim 7, wherein the holding and/or contact apparatus comprises the at least one holding means, the holding means being arranged on the holding and/or contact apparatus such that it can pivot, in particular against a spring force of a spring, about a pivot axis, or such that it can be displaced, in particular against a spring force of a spring, or such that it can be rotated about a rotation axis, in particular against a spring force of a spring.

11. The mobile telephone integration system as claimed in claim 10, wherein the first adapter and/or the second adapter and/or the further adapter comprise/comprises at least one recess for the engagement of a free end of the holding means of the holding and/or contact apparatus.

12. The mobile telephone integration system as claimed in claim 10, wherein the mobile telephone integration system comprises a control means, the operation of said control means operating the at least one holding means against the spring force in such a way that, in the use position, the interlocking connection between the holding means and the adapter is canceled, the control means in particular entering the holding and/or contact apparatus or the adapter, out of the bearing surface, during operation.

13. The mobile telephone integration system as claimed in claim 9, wherein the control means is in the form of a bar with several offset portions.

14. The mobile telephone integration system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the charging unit of the first adapter is operated in accordance with a standard which is customary for WPC charging mats, and/or wherein the charging unit of the second adapter is operated in accordance with a standard which is customary for Powermat charging mats, and/or wherein the charging unit of the further adapter is operated in accordance with a standard which is customary for A4WP charging mats.

15. The mobile telephone integration system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the adapter is held in an interlocking manner in a console of the vehicle and the holding and/or contact apparatus is in the form of a contact apparatus.
