Abstract

L'invention concerne un système et un procédé visant à utiliser une unité de charge de dispositif mobile comme programme d'incitation à l'affichage de données publicitaires. Le système et le procédé comprennent un corps principal qui renferme l'unité d'affichage et contient une indentation profonde pourvue d'une plaque de recouvrement raccordée par des charnières. Une pluralité de câbles de charge est également incluse et logée partiellement dans le corps principal. Un mécanisme de montage est utilisé pour fixer le corps principal et les autres composants à la surface interne d'un véhicule. L'unité d'affichage et les câbles de charge sont connectés électroniquement à une source d'alimentation électrique externe. Des commandes de fonctionnement sont dictées par le logiciel qui est sauvegardé dans la base de données. Les commandes comprennent l'affichage de données publicitaires, l'interaction avec l'utilisateur et le déclenchement du passage de l'électricité de la source d'alimentation électrique externe au dispositif informatique portable de l'utilisateur.
