Abstract

An in-car communication and entertainment system consists of a Bluetooth<RTM> enabled mobile phone that works in conjunction with a hands-free headset and MP3 hardware featuring a USB port for loading and storing music tracks by means of a USB flash memory stick or a laptop computer. Any entertainment function could be interrupted when a Bluetooth<RTM> enabled mobile phone call is detected and an option to route the call to speakers or the hands-free headset could be given. The MP3 hardware could allow a number of tracks to be stored, deleted or renamed on demand. The user could also create play-lists of their favourite tracks. A CD player and radio frequency tuner may also be included in the system.

Description

In car communication and entertainment system.

Hands free kits and in car entertainment systems however remain separate. Some communication devices can be bulky and storage of CDs can take up valuable space.
According to the present invention there is provided an in car communication and entertainment system which consists of bluetooth enabled mobile phone enhancing hardware technology which works in conjunction with a hands free headset and MP3 enabled hardware which would be accessed via a USB port and would work in conjunction with USB flash memory share stick or laptop computer. The bluetooth part of the invention would feature a function, which would interrupt any entertainment functions that might be operating when a bluetooth enabled mobile phone call is detected. The option to root the call to speaker or headset would be given. Both receiving and outgoing calls would be given priority and calls would automatically be rooted to the headset if the system is turned off. Both the headset and the system would feature a microphone and functions which could answer or dial calls and a sound volume control. The MP3 part of the invention would feature a USB port which would be used for loading and storing MP3 music tracks/files to MP3 enabled hardware which could later be listened too through the in car speakers or browsed through via a visual display.

All of this with exception to the headset and the USB flash memory stick would be integrated and could be fitted into the dashboard of a vehicle. Both the hands free headset and the USB memory flash stick would be unique to the system in terms of they could be supplied with it.
Preferably the system would be constructed from plastics and metals.
