Figure 7 A view illustrating use of a multi-pocket module by being coupled to a front surface of a main body of a mobile device holder for a mobility object according to one form of the present disclosure. Figure 8 A view illustrating use of a locking module by coupling to a front surface of a body of a mobile device holder for a mobile object according to one form of the present disclosure. Figure 9 A view showing that a bridge module is coupled to a front surface of a main body of a mobile device holder for a mobility object according to one form of the present disclosure and a black box is used by being coupled to the bridge module.

[0031] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a view showing a mobile device holder for a mobile object having been stored in a main body thereof and separated from the main body. Figure 2A diagram illustrating a state in which a mobile device holder for a mobile object, once stored in a main body, can be separated from the main body and then coupled to the front surface of the main body to mount a mobile device thereon. A mobile device holder for a mobile object according to one form of the present disclosure includes: a main body 100 coupled to the top end of the mobile object and having a display 110 positioned on the top surface of the main body to provide information to passengers of the mobile object; and a holder 120 coupled to one side of the main body 100 to store the mobile device therein and, when separated from the one side, coupled to the other opposite side of the main body 100 to mount the mobile device on the main body, wherein the mobile device can be supported together on the top surfaces of the holder 120 and the display 110 when mounted.

[0032] Here, the mobile object may refer to a small mobile object device, that is, a micro mobile object, such as an electric scooter, an electric kickboard, a balance car, and an electric wheel. In a mobile device holder for a mobile object in one form according to the present disclosure, the mobile object may be a scooter, and the main body 100 may be positioned at the top end of the scooter. Generally speaking, a scooter may have wheels at the front and rear thereof, a footrest positioned between the wheels, a pillar positioned on the front wheel, and a handle positioned at the top end of the pillar. Based on this basic scooter structure, the mobile device holder for a mobile object in one form according to the present disclosure may have the main body 100 at the center of the handle positioned on the top end of the scooter, so that the passenger can easily view the display or mobile device when operating the scooter.

[0033] In detail, a mobile device holder for a mobile object according to one form of the present disclosure may have a main body 100 positioned at the center of the handle at the top end of the mobile object and a display 110 positioned on the top surface of the main body 100. The display 110 can display the status of the scooter, such as its speed and travel distance, so that the passenger can easily receive its information. The holder 120 can be positioned on one side of the main body 100. The holder 120 can be stored in one side of the main body 100, and when the mobile device needs to be mounted on the main body, the holder 120 can be separated from the main body 100, then the direction of the holder is changed, and coupled to the front surface of the main body 100 to form a support surface. The mobile device can then be supported together on the support surface formed by the holder 120 and the top surface of the display 110. Therefore, the area of ​​the support surface can be increased, and the mobile device can be mounted on the holder more stably.

[0034] That is, the top surface of display 110 and the support surface formed by holder 120 can be used as a support surface for a mobile device. Therefore, the mobile device can be mounted more stably, and can be prevented from easily separating from the mobile object due to vibration or impact. However, when the top surface of display 110 is used as a mounting surface for a mobile device, the mobile device can cover the screen of display 110. Compared to display 110, the mobile device can provide passengers with more diverse and accurate information, and thus the screen coverage of display 110 can be compensated by the mounted mobile device.

[0035] Therefore, it may be preferable that when traveling on an unfamiliar or complex route, the passenger receive information such as the route and traffic conditions through the mobile device rather than the display 110. When traveling on a familiar route or wanting to receive information only about the status of the scooter, the passenger can be provided with information through the display 110 without having to mount a mobile device.

[0036] Meanwhile, in a mobile device holder for a mobile object according to one form of the present disclosure, the main body 100 may have a built-in battery, and when the mobile device is mounted on the main body 100, the mobile device can be charged by the battery of the main body 100, and the main body 100 can be separated from the mobile object to charge its battery. In other words, the main body 100 can serve as an auxiliary battery, and when the mobile device is mounted on the main body 100, the mobile device can be charged by wire or wirelessly to maintain its power.

[0037] Figure 3 A view showing a mobile device holder for a mobile object according to one form of the present disclosure, in which the holder is inserted into a coupling portion located in the front surface of the main body. In the mobile device holder for a mobile object according to one form of the present disclosure, the coupling portion 210 may be positioned in the front surface of the main body 100, and the protruding portion 200 may be positioned at one end of the holder 120, and the holder 120 and the main body 100 may be coupled to each other by allowing the holder 120 to be separated from the main body 100 and then allowing the protruding portion 200 to be inserted into the coupling portion 210.

[0038] Specifically, the coupling portion 210 of the main body 100 may be covered with a cover, and when the protrusion 200 of the holder 120 is inserted into the coupling portion 210, the cover may be folded inward. When the protrusion 200 is inserted into the coupling portion 210, a support surface of the holder 120 may be formed in front of the main body 100, and a mobile device may be mounted on the support surface of the holder 120.

[0039] Meanwhile, in a mobile device holder for a mobile object according to one form of the present disclosure, the holder 120 may have an inner surface on which the mobile device is mounted, and the two opposing ends 250 of the holder may be curved toward the inner surface so as to wrap around the opposing sides of the mobile device when the mobile device is mounted on the inner surface. The two opposing ends 250 of the holder 120 may each have a width adjusted relative to the size of the mobile device and wrap around the opposing sides of the mobile device, thereby suppressing separation of the mobile device from the holder when the mobile device is mounted on the mobile object and allowing the mobile device to be mounted on the holder more stably.

[0040] Furthermore, in a mobile device holder for a mobile object according to one form of the present disclosure, an anti-slip portion may be formed in a portion of the main body 100 or the holder 120 that contacts the mobile device. The anti-slip portion may be located on the portion of the holder 120 that contacts the mobile device, the supporting surface of the holder 120 supporting the mobile device, or the top surface of the display 110 of the main body 100 supporting the mobile device. Thus, by increasing the fixing force for mounting the mobile device on the holder, separation of the mobile device from the holder can be suppressed.

[0041] Meanwhile, in a mobile device holder for a mobile object according to one form of the present disclosure, the protruding portion 200 can extend toward the front of the mobile object in a state of being inserted into the coupling portion 210, so as to allow the holder 120 to be spaced apart from the main body 100. With this structure, the distance between the two supporting surfaces supporting the mobile device can be increased based on the length of the mobile device, and the opposite ends of the mobile device in the length direction are supported, thereby more stably mounting the mobile device on the holder.

[0042] In addition, in a mobile device holder for a mobile object according to one form of the present disclosure, the protruding portion 200 can be bent toward the top of the mobile object in a state of being inserted into the coupling portion 210, and the installation angle of the mobile device can be adjusted based on the angle of the holder 120. In detail, the angle of the support surface formed by the holder 120 can change as the protruding portion 200 is bent. Therefore, when the mobile device is installed, the installation angle of the mobile device can be changed. With this structure, when using the mobile object, the passenger can install the mobile device on the holder at an optimized angle or change its installation angle based on the external environment, such as the passenger's physical condition, eye level, and sunlight reflection.

[0043] Figure 4This is a side view showing a state in which a mobile device holder for a mobile object according to one form of the present disclosure is coupled to the front surface of a main body to mount a mobile device thereon. In the mobile device holder for a mobile object according to one form of the present disclosure, the fixing portion 220 can be positioned on one side of the main body 100, the main body 100 can authenticate a designated user terminal by communicating with the user terminal, and the fixing portion 220 can lock or unlock the holder 120 to or from the main body 100 based on the result of the authentication.

[0044] In a mobile device holder for a mobile object according to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the holder 120 can be stolen due to its detachable structure from the main body 100. Furthermore, a micro mobile object is small in size, and thus the mobile object itself can be stolen. The mobile object can be operated by passenger authentication, thereby suppressing the theft of the mobile object and the holder 120.

[0045] Specifically, the fixing portion 220 may be made of an electromagnet, etc., and the protruding portion 200 of the holder 120 may be made of metal or a magnet. Thus, the holder 120 can be locked to the main body 100 by using magnetic force to secure the protruding portion 200 to the main body 100. Therefore, when the holder 120 is stored in the main body 100 or coupled to the front surface of the main body, the main body 100 can only unlock the holder 120 by controlling the fixing portion 220 when the user terminal is authenticated through communication with a designated user terminal. When the terminal is not the designated user terminal, the holder 120 can be locked to the main body 100, thereby suppressing theft. Furthermore, after user authentication is performed, when the terminal is not the designated user terminal, the main body 100 can prevent the display 110 or a mobile object from being operated. Furthermore, the theft of mobile objects can be suppressed by triggering an emergency alarm, etc.

[0046] Figure 5 This figure shows a mobile device holder for a mobile object according to one form of the present disclosure using its transport portion to carry luggage. In the mobile device holder for a mobile object according to one form of the present disclosure, the transport portion 300 can be positioned on one side of the main body 100, and the transport portion 300 can be accommodated in the main body 100 or unfolded from the main body 100 to carry luggage.

[0047] Specifically, when not in use, the transport portion 300 can be housed inside the main body 100, with the holder 120 stored therein. When transporting an object, a passenger can extend the transport portion 300 to form a loop and secure the object to the loop. Due to the extendable loop structure, the transport portion 300 can secure objects or luggage of various sizes to the loop. When not in use, the transport portion 300 can be housed inside the main body 100, thereby preventing it from interfering with the operation of the mobile object or detracting from its appearance. Therefore, when using a micro-mobility object such as a scooter, a passenger no longer has to lift the object to be transported and can safely use the micro-mobility object with their bare hands after securing the object to the mobile object.

Figure 7 A view illustrating use of a multi-pocket module by being coupled to a front surface of a main body of a mobile device holder for a mobility object according to one form of the present disclosure. Figure 8 A view illustrating use of a locking module by coupling to a front surface of a body of a mobile device holder for a mobile object according to one form of the present disclosure. Figure 9 A view showing that a bridge module is coupled to a front surface of a main body of a mobile device holder for a mobility object according to one form of the present disclosure and a black box is used by being coupled to the bridge module.

[0049] In a mobile device holder for a mobile object according to one form of the present disclosure, in a state where the holder 120 is stored in the main body 100, the coupling portion 210 can be coupled to an additional device to allow the additional device to be positioned on the front surface of the main body 100. The additional device is a device desired when using the mobile object and may be a light, a lock, a cup holder, a black box, etc., and can be easily used by coupling to the coupling portion 210 on the front surface of the main body 100.

[0050] For details, refer to Figure 6 , the light module can be coupled to the coupling portion 210 positioned in the front surface of the body 100, and thus when the mobile object is used at night, the passenger can safely drive the mobile object by unfolding the light module toward the front surface or adjusting its angle during use.

[0051] In addition, reference Figure 7 , the multi-pocket module can be coupled to the coupling portion 210 positioned in the front surface of the main body 100, and thus the passenger can use the multi-pocket module as a cup holder by unfolding the pocket downward, or drive the mobile object while holding other items.

[0052] At the same time, reference Figure 8 The locking module can be coupled to the coupling portion 210 positioned in the front surface of the main body 100, and thus when the mobile object is stored or installed for a period of time after its driving is completed, the mobile object can be prevented from being stolen by locking the lock included in the locking module to the external structure.

[0053] In addition, reference Figure 9 The bridge module can be coupled to the coupling portion 210 positioned in the front surface of the main body 100, and thus a camera device such as a sports camera or a black box can be mounted on the front surface of the main body 100 through the bridge module. The mounted camera device can capture driving images or images of accident situations in an emergency.

[0054] In particular, when the mobile object is a scooter, the passenger cannot use additional equipment because his / her hands are always on the steering wheel. Through this coupling portion 210, any desired additional equipment other than the mobile device holder can be used by easily coupling the device to the main body 100 of the mobile object.

[0055] According to the mobile device holder for a mobile object of the present disclosure, the holder can be coupled to the top end of a micro mobile object, allowing a mobile device to be mounted thereon by allowing the holder of the mobile device holder stored in one side of its body to be detached from one side after the mobile device is authenticated and then coupled to the opposite side of the body, and when the holder is stored in the body, allowing an additional device to be used by coupling to the body.

[0056] While the present disclosure has been shown and described with respect to the particular embodiments, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the disclosure as defined by the appended claims.
