Description

Holder for a mobile communication device

The invention relates to a holder for a mobile communication device with camera functionality.

Modern mobile communication devices, such as so-called smartphones or even simpler equipped mobile phones or so-called tablet PCs offer the user a variety of functions, including usually in addition to a telephony, e.g. playback of pictures, movies or music (usually MP3), camera functions, GPS navigation, mobile internet usage, Bluetooth pairing with other devices and much more. Widely used are smartphones. These represent a universal device for communication, data recording, storage and reproduction, entertainment, etc. In order to make the various uses available, for example, also for cyclists, brackets have been developed in the prior art, which allow a mobile phone on the bike , usually on the handlebar, so that the user can read, for example, the information of a GPS navigation application, without having to take the device in his hand. There are also applications with which certain sensors communicate with this device via a radio connection, typically Bluetooth. In this way, physiological data of the user, for example, pulse, blood pressure or the like or even vehicle data, such as the cadence, the speed or the like can be detected and evaluated accordingly. Of course, such a holder can also serve to keep the mobile phone safe, while the cyclist, e.g. hear music files stored on the smartphone via headphones. However, it would be desirable if the functionality of such a mobile communication device could be increased while driving.

Against this background, the object underlying the invention is to expand the possibilities of use of a mobile communication device, in particular for a cyclist or motorcyclist. The object is achieved by a holder according to claim 1.

The invention provides a holder for a mobile communication device, by which the device can be used with a greater functionality. This holder comprises means for attachment to a handlebar of a bicycle, such as a bicycle or a motorcycle. In addition to bicycles, which are operated exclusively with muscle power, in particular an application for bicycles with electric auxiliary motor is conceivable. The present invention is preferably intended for bicycles, which is why in the following also simplifying "bicycle" instead of "bike or motorcycle" is spoken. The attachment "on the handlebars" can be done here in particular on the handlebar and / or handlebar stem.

Furthermore, the holder comprises a holding device for the mobile communication device, such as the smartphone. The holding device serves for the actual recording of the mobile communication device. It can be formed in one or more parts. It is particularly conceivable here that at least part of the holding device can be removed from the rest of the holder, as will be explained later. In this case, the mobile communication device can be received, clamped or strapped in, for example, in a kind of pocket or shaft or fastened by suction cups on the holding side or by a so-called "gecko effect" (which is based on van der Waals interactions). In any case, it is provided that the lens of a camera of the device is not obscured by the holding device. For this purpose, if necessary, a part of the holding device, namely the one which is arranged in front of the lens, formed transparent.

According to the invention, the holder further comprises a mirror device comprising at least one mirror element, which can be arranged in front of the lens of the camera of the device in order to deflect an environmental image to the camera. In this case, "in front of the camera" or "in front of the objective" refers to a position in the area that is detected by the camera of the mobile communication device. In this case, each optical element with at least one reflecting surface is considered a mirror element. This can happen in particular to act a mirror or a prism, wherein in the latter case, the reflection takes place within the prism, ie a light beam is (almost) totally reflected within the prism. The environment image here is an image of the surroundings of the camera, typically an image of the surroundings of the bicycle. In either case, the mirror device deflects light such that an area that would not normally be in the field of view of the camera can be picked up by the camera. As a rule, the mirror device should be able to be arranged in such a way that it fills the entire field of view of the camera, thus avoiding undesired edge effects.

In this concept, the mobile communication device is held in such a position by the holder, that not only an optimal reading of information from its display and possibly operating is possible while in the same position of the device by the mirror device an image or a video are recorded can, for example, looking forward in the direction of travel. In the case of the mobile communication devices in question, in particular in smartphones, the camera is arranged on the opposite side of the display, wherein in good reading positions while driving, the screen is pointing substantially upwards, which is why the camera points downwards in this position. Only the holder according to the invention with its mirror device makes it possible to optimally use a display and operating options of the mobile communication device, while at the same time photos and / or videos can be recorded with the camera. Photos or videos are taken without having to change the position of the device.

Depending on the configuration and / or setting, the mirror device can serve to detect different environmental regions with the camera. It is also conceivable that an image is virtually "diverted by 180 °", so that the head of the driver is filmed itself. In addition, it is conceivable, for example, that a lying next to the bike area is recorded by, for example, another cyclist or a runner is located, which can be recorded in this way. However, it is particularly preferred that the mirror device is set up in order to obtain the image of a bicycle or motorcycle in the direction of travel. to redirect the area to the camera. For this purpose, the mirror element is typically designed to be set up accordingly.

Preferably, at least one mirror element is designed as a mirror. In a mirror, the reflection is generated in a known manner by a metal layer, wherein at any angles of incidence total reflection occurs. The metal layer may in this case be applied to a substrate and in turn be protected by a substantially transparent protective layer. Usually, however, forms a substrate made of glass, transparent plastic or the like, the front of the mirror and a normally non-transparent protective layer is applied to the back of the metal layer. The invention can be realized, for example, with a single plane mirror, which is arranged in front of the lens of the camera and thus redirects the image of the surrounding area.

In order to allow a precise adjustment and associated selection of the desired image area, it is expedient for at least one mirror element to be adjustable, for example pivotable, relative to the holding device. The pivotability may e.g. be given by a ball joint or it can be provided one or two pivot axes about which the mirror element can be pivoted. Further, known from the prior art alternatives are conceivable. If more than one mirror element is present, it is conceivable for one mirror element to be pivotable relative to another or for the mirror device to be pivotable overall.

In order to enable an adaptation to the respective position of the camera of the mobile device, it is preferred that at least one mirror element relative to the holding device along at least one direction can be arranged displaceably. This makes it possible to make the mirror element relatively small and still ensure that it fills the field of view of the camera. Typically, the above-described adjustability as well as the above-described pivotability of the mirror element will be provided with a lock in order to prevent an undesired adjustment taking place due to vibrations, shocks or the like while driving. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the holding device is designed to be placed in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle in an inclined position. Hereby, a user can position the holding device with the mobile communication device accommodated therein in such a way that optimum readability of the display or operability for him is given.

According to an advantageous embodiment, the means for attachment to the handlebar first attachment means for a handlebar and second attachment means for a handlebar stem. In the described embodiment, on the one hand, a particularly stable attachment is ensured, since due to the attachment to the handlebar on the one hand and on the handlebar stem on the other hand gives good stability in the longitudinal direction. This can be further improved by attaching the bracket to the handlebar at at least two points, providing stability against lateral tilting.

Advantageously, in this case the first fastening means comprise at least one web element for spacing a front part of the holding device from the handlebar. Such web elements in this case have a mounting region which rests in the mounted state on the handlebar, and are at least indirectly connected to the holding device at a distance thereof. By such web elements, if desired, a desired inclined position of the holding device can be generated.

Preferably, the first fastening means are pivotable relative to the holding device, whereby an inclined position and / or position of the holding device is adjustable. This can be realized, for example, by the first fastening means having at least one web element. Thus, for example, by pivoting the at least one web element about an axis arranged on the holding device, the position of the holding device can be changed such that either a smaller angle results, wherein the holding device is displaced to the front, or a larger inclined position, wherein the holding device slightly further is shifted to the rear. Of course, a position of the second fastening means on the handlebar stem is usually adjusted here become.

According to the basic concept of the present invention, the image device is deflected by the mirror device to the lens of the camera of the mobile communication device. However, it is also conceivable that this image is modified by the mirror element, wherein in a preferred embodiment of the invention, at least one mirror element is at least partially convex, concave and / or tinted. In this way, e.g. by a convex or concave curvature of the mirror element, a wide-angle effect or a magnification effect can be generated. In addition, of course, any distortion or alienation effects are conceivable. By tinting the mirror element, a color alienation or only a darkening of the recorded image can be achieved.

In particular, when mirror elements are used by which the image is modified, it is preferred that the mirror device comprises a mirror mount to which optionally different mirror elements can be arranged. In this way, the user can select as desired a mirror element, which he then attaches to the mirror mount. So he can e.g. once working with a plane mirror, while another time using a curved mirror for a wide-angle effect. Of course, in this embodiment, an exchange of a possibly damaged mirror is particularly simple. The respective mirror element can e.g. be secured by screws, by means of a snap connection, or by means of a Velcro fastener. In the latter case, for example, the mirror holder barbs, while the mirror element has the associated loops.

As is known, mirroring reverses the orientation of the image. In such a case it can be provided that an automatic correction of the recorded image takes place by means of a corresponding software contained in the mobile communication device. Alternatively it can be provided that the mirror device comprises at least two mirrors, which are arranged such that an upright, right-sided environment image is deflected to the camera. So can For example, instead of a deflection by 90 ° by means of a mirror two deflection and 45 ° by means of two mirrors. The two-fold reversal thus again results in an upright picture. Of course, a corresponding effect can be achieved by means of a prism in which reflections take place on two inner surfaces.

In order to increase the flexibility of the applicability of the present holder, the holding device is preferably designed to accommodate different mobile devices with respect to their size and geometry. In this case, an adjustable clamping mechanism can be provided, for example, by means of which mobile communication devices of various dimensions can each be securely fastened. In addition, it is conceivable that a part of the holding device is exchangeable in a modular manner, wherein in each case one module corresponds to a specific communication device.

In order to protect the communication device on the one hand from damage, but also from dirt and splash and rain water, the holding device according to one embodiment comprises a protective cover which is adapted to enclose the device at least partially. Preferably, the protective cover is designed to enclose the device predominantly. The protective cover can be rigid or at least partially flexible. Also, at least a part of the protective cover, which is located above the screen or a part which is located above the camera or its lens, can be made transparent.

Furthermore, it is advantageous if the protective cover is detachably connectable to a base element of the holding device. In this way, the user can remove the mobile communication device together with the protective cover from the base element, which constantly remains as part of the holding device, for example, on the bicycle. Furthermore, different envelopes for different types of communication devices can be provided, which are each connected to one and the same base element. In particular, the detachable connection can be realized magnetically, by a hook-and-loop fastener, by suction cups or by means of the already mentioned gecko effect.

Mobile communication devices of the type in question often have also via a flashlight device. This flash device can also be used to illuminate the receiving area. With the above-described holder, it is thus possible to use this illumination as pointing in the direction of travel white position light in the manner of a daytime running lights. Although this is not sufficient to illuminate the entire field of view in front of the vehicle, this is in any case sufficient to be recognized by oncoming persons or vehicles. In operation of the mobile communication device in such a mode may be provided to save energy, to drive the light source only to a lesser degree. If the mirror element on the holder exchangeable, a bundling of the light can be achieved by using a concave mirror.

Details of the invention are explained below with reference to an embodiment with reference to the figures. Hereby shows:

Figure 1 shows a perspective view of a holder 1 according to the invention for a mobile communication device. In the embodiment described in the figures, the mobile communication device is a smartphone 30. Here, a protective cover 20 for the smartphone 30 is arranged on a flat base element 2, which forms a holding device together with the base element 2. The protective cover 20, which in the present case has various apertures, protects the smartphone 30 above all against damage caused by mechanical influences, and to some extent against dirt and splash water. The base element 2 is in this case pivotally connected to two web elements 3. The latter have at one, the base element 2 opposite end in each case a groove 3 a, which corresponds approximately to the rounding of a handlebar 101. Furthermore, a symmetrically designed cheek element 2c, which is intended to rest on a handlebar stem 102, is disposed on an end of the base element 2 facing away from the web elements 3. Adjacent to the cheek element 2c, the base element 2 has symmetrically arranged first hook elements 2b on, in which an elastic fastening strap 12 can be hung, as will be explained later. In a corresponding manner, the web elements 3 have second hook elements 3b.

The smartphone 30 received in the protective cover 20 carries the lens of a camera 31 on one of its flat sides. In the field of view of this camera 31, a mirror 4 of the holder 1 is arranged. Through this, as indicated in Figure 1, light rays 1 10, which are incident from a direction which would not normally be detected by the camera 31, deflected to the camera 31. The image thus captured by the camera 31 is upside-down due to the mirroring, which is taken into account by user-selectable software of the smartphone 30, which internally performs a corresponding virtual back-reflection so that the image is displayed on the display of the smartphone 30 in the correct direction.

As is apparent from the exploded view in Figure 2, various mechanical elements are provided to ensure correct positioning of the mirror 4. The mirror 4 is arranged on a mirror holder 6, which has a hook-and-loop cover 6d, which cooperates with a corresponding covering (not shown) on the rear side of the mirror 4. In this way, the mirror 4 is detachably connected to the mirror holder 6 for replacement. It is thus possible to easily replace the mirror 4 shown here in case of damage, just as an exchange with alternative mirrors is possible, for example, for wide-angle or magnification effects. A mirror carriage 5 has a first hinge half 5b which cooperates with a second hinge half 6a of the mirror mount 6. In the assembled state, the two hinge halves 5b, 6a by means of a hexagon socket screw 10 and an associated nut 1 1 connected to each other such that the mirror holder 6 can be locked by tightening the screw 10 relative to the mirror slide 5, while in a release of the Allen screw 10 a pivoting given to the mirror carriage 5.

The mirror carriage 5 in turn has a pair of longitudinal slots 5a. Furthermore, the base element 2, which in the present case comprises a separately produced lower part 2e, has a transverse slot 2a. In the built-in th state, a pair of screws 7 are inserted through the transverse slot 2a and through the longitudinal slots 5a and secured on a side facing away from the base member 2 of the mirror slide 5 by (not shown) nuts. When the screws 7 are tightened, the position of the mirror carriage 5 is locked along the plane of the base element 2, while when the screws 7 are released through the transverse slot 2a, a displaceability in the longitudinal direction and through the longitudinal slots 5a is displaceable in a transverse direction. As a result, the mirror 4 can be arranged in the desired manner in front of the lens of the camera 31 in this way, the holder can be adapted to the different arrangement of the lenses of different mobile phones. As can likewise be seen from FIG. 2, each of the web elements 3 is connected to a further hexagon socket screw 8 and a counterpart 9 to the lower part 2e of the base element 2. By loosening the screws 8, the web elements 3 can be pivoted relative to the base element 2, while locking the Allen screws 8 takes place.

Figure 3 illustrates the fastenings of the holder 1 to a bicycle handlebar 100, wherein for reasons of clarity, the protective cover 20 and the smartphone 30 are not shown. To attach the bracket 1 on the handlebar 100, the web elements 3 are typically placed symmetrically on a handlebar 101 of the handlebar 100 to the stem, wherein optionally first and second compensating pieces 14, 15 can be used to differences between the outer radius of the handlebar 101 and the Radius of the fillets 3a compensate. Furthermore, the cheek element 2c of the base element 2 is placed on a handlebar stem 102 of the handlebar 100. Then, a first fastening band 12 is placed around the handlebar stem 102 and hooked into the first hook elements 2b. The first fastening band 12 is elastic in this case and is suspended in the tensioned state, so that in this way the base element 2 is secured to the handlebar stem 102. In a corresponding manner, second fastening straps 13 are hooked into the second hook elements 3b, so that the web elements 3 are secured to the handlebar 101. Overall, this results in a two-dimensional stabilization of the holder 1, since it is protected against tilting both in the longitudinal direction and in the transverse direction. The pivotability of the web elements 3 relative to the base element 2 makes it possible to vary the position and the oblique position of the base element 2 and thus of the smartphone 30 arranged in the protective cover 20, as shown in FIGS. 4a and 4b. In Figure 4a, the web elements 3 are locked by means of the screw 8 in such a position relative to the base member 2 that results in a steeper inclined position of the base member 2 and thus the protective cover 20 with the smartphone 30. FIG. 4b shows an alternative adjustment of the web elements 3, wherein a flatter oblique position of the base element 2 and thus of the smartphone 30 results. Along with this, the smartphone 30 in FIG. 4b is shifted slightly forward relative to the positions shown in FIG. 4a. In any case, the screen of the smartphone 30 for the cyclist is clearly visible on the top of the handlebar 100. At the same time, the camera 31 thanks to the mirror 4 can capture images from a front of the bicycle surrounding area, although the lens of the camera 31 directed downward is.

FIGS. 5a, 5b and 5c illustrate the displaceability of the mirror carriage 5 relative to the base element 2. This displaceability, which, as already explained, is made possible by the longitudinal slots 5a and the transverse slot 2a, the position of the mirror 4 at the respective position of the Camera 31 are adjusted so that the mirror 4 is in each case in the field of view of the camera 31. FIG. 5 a shows a middle position of the mirror carriage 5 relative to the extent of the longitudinal slots 5 a, while FIG. 5 b shows a front extreme position of the mirror carriage 5 and FIG. 5 c shows a rear extreme position of the mirror carriage 5. Furthermore, the pivotability of the mirror holder 6 relative to the mirror slide 5 is shown in FIGS. 5a-5c. Thus, the mirror holder 6 in Figure 5a shows a shallower setting than in Figures 5b and 5c. By adjusting the skew, it is possible to mainly select the surrounding area whose image is deflected to the camera 31. This is of importance, inter alia, if the inclined position of the base element 2 is varied by adjusting the web elements 3.

As shown in Figure 6, the protective cover 20 with the smartphone 30 are removed from the base element 2. For this purpose, the base element 2 has a hook and loop fastener 2d, while the protective cover 20 has a hook and loop fastener 20a corresponding thereto. By this measure it is on the one hand possible to use different cases, which are each tuned to different smartphones. On the other hand, the user can, for example, for reasons of anti-theft device, easily remove the smartphone 30 together with the protective cover 20, while the remaining parts of the holder 1 remain on the bicycle handlebar 100. Of course, it is also conceivable that in this way one and the same protective cover 20 is used on base elements which are mounted on different bicycles.

FIG. 7 shows a mirror device 40 which, in contrast to the exemplary embodiments shown above, can be detachably connected to a holding device for providing a holder for a mobile communication device of the type described above. The mirror device 40 comprises a mirror 41 and an adapter 43 connected thereto with the interposition of a pivot joint 42. The pivot joint 42 can be locked by means of a screw 44. About the pivot joint 42, the inclination of the plane of the mirror 41 relative to the plane of the adapter 43 can be adjusted. In the adapter 43 shown in Figure 7 is a C-shaped clamping adapter, provided so that it can be pushed onto a mounting rail of complementary geometry.

In an embodiment, not shown in the figures, such an adapter is designed only as a tab, with which the mirror device can be adhered to the holding device.

FIG. 8 shows a holding device 50 for receiving a mobile telecommunication device, typically a smartphone. The holding device 50 is connected to a handlebar fastener 51st Opposite the handlebar fastener 51, the holding device 50 is pivotable. On the underside of the holding device 50 is a mounting rail 52 whose cross-sectional geometry is complementary to the cross-sectional geometry of the adapter 43 of the mirror device 40. The clear width of the adapter 43 is dimensioned slightly smaller than the width of the mounting rail 52. This serves the purpose that the adapter 43 is held jammed on the mounting rail, or that after pushing the A- adapter 43 on the mounting rail 52 as a result of acting through the side walls of the adapter 43 to the mounting rail 52 clamping force the mirror device 40 stationary the mounting rail 52 is held. The mirror device 40 is set up with respect to the mounting rail 52 so that the lens of the camera of the mobile communication device located above the aperture 53 is arranged above the mirror 41. FIG. 9 shows the mounted position of the mirror device 40 on the mounting rail 52 of the holding device 50 for forming a holder, as has already been described with regard to the preceding exemplary embodiments.
