The holding device comprises a fixing device and a holding device for storing the portable mobile terminal. The holding device is held on the fixing device and mounted movably relative to the fixing device. Furthermore, the invention also includes a system and a motor vehicle with the holding device according to the invention.Many drivers or vehicle occupants use a portable mobile terminal, such as a mobile telephone for navigation and / or media functions, during a trip of the motor vehicle.In order to fix the portable mobile terminal in a motor vehicle, various embodiments are known from the prior art.For example, DE 10 2018 000 493 A1 describes a holder for positioning a smartphone in a motor vehicle. The holder comprises a pivot arm connected to a spring drive and a cover for covering the smartphone when not in use, which cover is coupled to a push-to-open mechanism, by means of which the spring drive of the pivot arm can be triggered by the cover until the smartphone is released. A disadvantage of this mounting is that additional installation space in the motor vehicle is required for this purpose.DE 10 2008 060 038 B4 discloses a holding device for a mobile telephone in an interior of a motor vehicle. The holding device comprises a receiving unit for receiving the mobile telephone and a protection device by means of which the mobile telephone is to be protected at least in regions.DE 10 2017 002 003 A1 describes a stowage device for an interior of a vehicle. The stowage device comprises a support element for supporting at least one mobile terminal and a base element, by means of which the support element pivotably held on the base element can be connected to a central console of the vehicle. The support element has at least one receptacle having a base, in which receptacle the mobile terminal can be at least partially accommodated. A disadvantage of this stowage device is that it is designed to be particularly complicated in terms of design.A clamping device which enables adjustment and fixing in different positions is disclosed in connection with a flag holder described in DE 20 2010 002 195 U1.In order that the mobile telephone is not only held, but also vehicle functions can be operated with the mobile telephone, CN 109 195 144 A proposes an intelligent mobile telephone holder. The mobile telephone holder installed on the motor vehicle side is equipped with an integrated function for near-field communication for providing a mobile-telephone-side operating mode for vehicle functions.It is an object of the present invention to provide a holding device, a system and a motor vehicle which is constructed in a particularly simple and robust manner, in particular in a constructive manner, and which is or are particularly simple to set or operate, in particular with regard to user comfort.This object is achieved by a holding device, a system and by a motor vehicle having the features of the independent patent claims. Advantageous embodiments with expedient and non-trivial developments of the invention are specified in the dependent patent claims.The invention provides a holding device for storing and positioning a portable mobile terminal. The holding device comprises a fixing device for attachment or mounting to a control panel and / or a central console and / or a door of a motor vehicle. The fixing device is preferably stationary. Furthermore, the holding device comprises a holding device for storing the portable mobile terminal, which is held on the fixing device and is mounted movably relative to the fixing device. In other words, the holding device can be mounted by the fixing device and moved on the latter.The invention is distinguished in that the holding device is pivotable about a pivot axis. In other words, the holding device can be tilted or moved or rotated about an axis. In other words, the holding device is mounted on an axis of the holding device or of the fixing device. In particular, the holding device can be pivoted about the pivot axis by exerting a force, in particular a compressive force, on an outer side of the holding device in the direction of the force.The fixing device has a plurality of latching receptacles which are arranged on a side of the fixing device facing the holding device. By "latching receptacles" is meant in particular depressions or bulges or openings or holes. Furthermore, a latching element is arranged on the holding device, which latching element, depending on a pivoted position of the holding device, engages in a predetermined latching receptacle of the latching receptacles of the fixing device for positioning the holding device relative to the fixing device. The "latching element" can be designed as an extension or a pin. The latching element is preferably designed to be elastically deformable or movable. For example, the latching element can have an, in particular elastic, spring and a latching element which is arranged on the spring, wherein the spring is arranged between the holding device and the latching element. As long as the latching element is in particular not arranged in a latching receptacle, the spring is compressed. If the holding device is moved, in particular pivoted about the pivot axis, and if the latching element is thereby moved into a latching receptacle, the spring can expand and the latching element or the latching element is arranged in the latching receptacle. If the holding device is pivoted further about the pivot axis, the spring is compressed again and the latching element or latching element is moved again out of the latching receptacle.By means of the pivot axis, a position of the holding device or of the portable mobile terminal arranged in or on the holding device can be adjusted particularly easily and reliably. As a result of the interaction of the latching receptacles and of the latching element, the holding device can be held in the set position in a particularly reliable and stable manner. Furthermore, the holding device is constructed particularly simply by the holding device and the fixing device.An advantageous embodiment provides that the holding device is at least partially accommodated in an accommodation region of the fixing device. The receiving region refers in particular to a depression or cavity. In this case, the receiving region is semicircular, in particular in cross section. For example, the receiving region can be formed as a semicircular groove. Furthermore, the latching receptacles of the fixing device are arranged radially at a predetermined distance from one another on a side of the receiving region facing the holding device. In other words, the latching receptacles are arranged radially next to one another in the receptacle region of the fixing device. Furthermore, the latching element is arranged opposite the receiving region, in particular the latching receptacles. The latching receptacles are arranged in such a way that the latching element arranged on the holding device engages in a predetermined latching receptacle of the latching receptacles for positioning the holding device when pivoted about the pivot axis depending on the pivoted position of the holding device. In particular, by pivoting the holding device about the pivot axis, the latching element is moved along a circular path and can engage in the respective latching receptacles along this circular path, in particular one after the other. Particularly preferably, the fixing device has three latching receptacles. By means of the latching receptacles and the latching element, the holding device can be held in various positions in a particularly simple and reliable manner.The holding device advantageously comprises a holder and a receiving element, wherein the holder is arranged between the fixing device and the receiving element. The holder is configured to support the receiving element. In other words, the receiving element can be received in the holder. The latching element is arranged on a side of the holder facing the fixing device, wherein the receiving element is at least partially accommodated in the holder. In this case, in particular, the holder is movable relative to the fixing device. Furthermore, the receiving element is configured to receive the portable mobile terminal. In other words, the receiving element can enclose the portable mobile terminal. In particular, the holding device is constructed 2 part way with the holder and the receiving element. In this case, the fixing device, the holder and the receiving element are preferably arranged successively on one another.A further advantageous embodiment provides that the receiving element is movably mounted in the holder in such a way that the receiving element is pivotable about a tilting axis of the receiving element. In other words, the receiving element can be tilted or moved or rotated about a tilting axis. In other words, the receiving element is mounted on an axle. The tilting axis and the pivot axis preferably run in the same direction. In other words, the receiving element can be moved relative to the holder. In particular, the holder can be pivoted about the pivot axis by exerting a force, in particular a compressive force, on the holder in the direction of the force. If, for example, a portable mobile terminal is fixed to the receiving element, the receiving element can be pivoted about the tilting axis in a predetermined direction together with the portable mobile terminal by actuating the portable mobile terminal, in particular by applying a force to the portable mobile terminal. On the one hand, therefore, in particular the receiving element of the holding device is movable relative to the holder and, on the other hand, the holder is movable relative to the fixing device.According to an advantageous development, it is provided that the holding device comprises at least one haptic element, wherein the haptic element is arranged between the holder and the receiving element, wherein the receiving element acts on the haptic element during a tilting movement of the receiving element about a tilting axis. Particularly preferably, the holding device comprises two haptic elements which are arranged on the holder at a predetermined distance from one another. For example, the haptic element or the haptic elements are embodied as a micro key.The tilting of the receiving element is particularly suitable if operating functions are located or arranged on the portable mobile terminal, such as a mobile telephone, in an application (abbreviated as app) on the edge, in particular on the display surface of the portable mobile terminal. In other words, the tilting movement is particularly suitable if operating functions are displayed or output on the display surface of the mobile terminal at an edge region, in particular at a predetermined distance from a center point of a display surface of the portable mobile terminal. If the operating functions are displayed on the edge, a distance of the operating functions from the tilting axis is particularly large or greater than if the operating functions were displayed centrally on the display surface of the portable mobile terminal.If a user actuates or operates the portable mobile terminal held in the receiving element, i.e. if it exerts an actuating force on the portable mobile terminal, in particular on an edge region of the portable mobile terminal, or on the receiving element, the receiving element is pivoted about the tilting axis and acts on the at least one haptic element, so that the user receives haptic feedback. In other words, the receiving element can be mounted movably in the holder in such a way that the receiving element can be pivoted together with the portable mobile terminal about a tilting axis of the receiving element upon actuation by the user. The haptic element provides the user with feedback when actuating the portable mobile terminal arranged in the holding device. A user thus knows exactly when and whether the portable mobile terminal has been actuated. This can reduce or even avoid incorrect operation and increase user comfort.The tilting movement or the tilting of the receiving element or of the portable mobile terminal can also be locked or the tilting mechanism can be locked in an advantageous manner. For this purpose, the holding device can have, for example, an actuator which is configured to block the tilting movement. For example, the actuator can be configured to actuate the tilting axis in such a way that a tilting movement is prevented. For example, tilting may be disabled if it makes little sense. For example, if functions such as operating functions are not only located on the edge, that is to say are also displayed or output on other regions of the display area of the portable mobile terminal and / or can be operated.The holding device advantageously has a first detection device which is configured to detect the portable mobile terminal on the holding device, in particular in the receiving element. For example, the portable mobile terminal can be detected by means of NFC (Near Field Communication). Alternatively, the first detection device for detecting the portable mobile terminal can also have a sensor in or on the holding device. With the aid of the first detection device, the portable mobile terminal can be detected in the holding device in a particularly simple and reliable manner.According to an advantageous development, it is provided that the holder comprises a holder base element and at least two holder side elements or side wall elements, wherein the holder side elements are each arranged inclined at a predetermined angle to the holder base element in such a way that the holder base element and the two holder side elements enclose a holder receiving region for receiving the receiving element. In this case, one mounting side element can be arranged at one end of the mounting base element and the other mounting side element can be arranged at an opposite end of the mounting base element. In particular, the holder side elements can be arranged, in particular inclined, at an angle between 90° and 150° with respect to the holder base element. Particularly preferably, the mounting side elements can be designed to be displaceable or movable. In other words, holder side elements can be mounted movably at a predetermined distance from one another and / or relative to one another and or to the holder base element. Furthermore, the holder side elements can be moved towards and / or away from each other. For example, the holding side elements can be designed as clamping jaws. This results in the advantage that the holder can be adapted, in particular individually, to the portable mobile terminal or receiving element to be received.A further advantageous embodiment provides that the receiving element comprises a receiving base element and at least two receiving side elements, wherein the receiving side elements are each arranged at a predetermined angle inclined to the receiving base element in such a way that the receiving base element and the two receiving side elements enclose a receiving region for receiving the portable mobile terminal. In this case, one receiving side element can be arranged at one end of the receiving base element and the other receiving side element can be arranged at an opposite end of the receiving base element. In particular, the receiving side elements can be arranged, in particular inclined, at an angle between 90° and 150° with respect to the receiving base element. Particularly preferably, the receiving side elements can be designed to be displaceable or movable. In other words, the receiving side elements can be mounted movably at a predetermined distance from one another and / or relative to one another or to the receiving base element. Furthermore, the receiving side elements can be moved towards and / or away from each other. For example, the receiving side elements can be designed as clamping jaws. This results in the advantage that the receiving element can be adapted, in particular individually, to the portable mobile terminal to be received.Particularly preferably, the holding device is configured to pivot about the pivot axis in the direction of the force by exerting a force, in particular a compressive force, on an outer side of one of the holding side elements, which is facing away from the further receiving region.The invention also includes a system for storing and positioning a portable mobile terminal in an interior of a motor vehicle. The system comprises a portable mobile terminal. The portable mobile terminal can be designed, for example, as a mobile telephone or as a display or as a screen or as a tablet computer. Furthermore, the system comprises the holding device according to the invention for storing and positioning the portable mobile terminal. The holding device of the holding device is configured to store the portable mobile terminal.The holding device advantageously comprises a second detection device, wherein the second detection device has at least one sensor surface, wherein the at least one sensor surface is arranged on a surface of one of the receiving side elements. In other words, the holding device has the second detection device, which is designed as a sensor surface, wherein the second detection device is arranged on at least one of the surfaces of the receiving side elements adjoining the portable mobile terminal. The sensor surface is preferably designed as a sensor strip. Furthermore, the surface of the respective receiving side element adjoins a surface of the portable mobile terminal. In other words, the portable mobile terminal can be arranged between the receptacle side elements, wherein in each case one surface of the receptacle side element adjoins a surface of the portable mobile terminal. In other words, a surface of the receiving side element can merge into a surface of the portable mobile terminal. The second detection device is preferably configured to detect an actuation on the sensor surface and to set a vehicle function displayed by means of the display surface of the portable mobile terminal device as a function of the actuation.For example, it can be provided that the surface of the receiving side element or the sensor surface is formed as an operating surface. In this case, a user can actuate or operate or trigger predetermined functions by actuating the operator interface, which functions are displayed on a display area of the portable mobile terminal. For example, vehicle functions such as, for example, a control of a temperature setting of an air-conditioning system or a volume control or a control of a ventilation, which can be set by an actuation of the operator control area, can be displayed on the display area of the portable mobile terminal. Thus, one operating surface can be configured to increase a temperature of the air conditioning system and a further operating surface to reduce the temperature of the air conditioning system. In this case, one operating surface can be arranged on one of the receiving side elements and the other operating surface can be arranged on the other receiving side element.Alternatively or additionally, the second detection device is configured to detect an actuation of the user at the second detection device, wherein, in the case of a detected actuation, the pivot axis for pivoting the holding device can be locked or blocked. For example, the holding device can have a control device which is configured to receive a signal upon a detected actuation of the second detection device and to actuate a locking mechanism of the holding device which is configured to lock or block the pivot axis for pivoting the holding device.The invention also includes a motor vehicle having the holding device according to the invention or the system according to the invention. The motor vehicle according to the invention is preferably designed as a motor vehicle, in particular as a passenger car or truck, or as a passenger bus or motorcycle.The invention also includes developments of the system according to the invention and of the motor vehicle according to the invention, which have features as have already been described in connection with the developments of the holding device according to the invention.

In the exemplary embodiments, the described components of the embodiments each represent individual features of the invention that are to be considered independently of one another and that also develop the invention independently of one another. Therefore, the disclosure is intended to include combinations of the features of the embodiments other than those illustrated. Furthermore, the described embodiments can also be supplemented by further features of the invention that have already been described.In the figures, identical reference numerals designate functionally identical elements.FIGS. 1 to 5 show a system 10 having an embodiment of a holding device 12 and a portable mobile terminal 14. FIGS. 1 to 4 show the system 10 in a cross-sectional view. FIG. 5 shows the system 10 in a perspective view. In this case, FIG. 5 shows the portable mobile terminal 14 "landcape" or in portrait format and FIGS. 1 to 4 "portrait" or in landscape format.The holding device 12 according to the embodiments of FIGS. 1 to 5 comprises a fixing device 16 and a holding device 18. For example, the fixing device 16 can be attached or mounted, for example screwed, on a control panel and / or a central console and / or a door of a motor vehicle. The holding device 18 is arranged on the fixing device 16. The holding device 18 is movably held or mounted on the fixing device 16. In other words, the holding device 18 is arranged on the fixing device 16 and is movable relative to the fixing device 16. The holding device 18 can be moved into various positions, which can also be referred to as adjustment positions, and held therein. For this purpose, the fixing device 16 has a receiving region 20. The receiving region 20 is in particular formed as a bulge or depression. Furthermore, the receiving region 20 is semicircular. Furthermore, the fixing device 16 has a plurality of latching receptacles 22 in the receiving region 20 on the side facing the holding device 18. The latching receptacles 22 are designed as depressions or grooves or grooves. The latching receptacles 22 are arranged next to one another at predetermined intervals. The latching receptacles 22 are arranged radially next to one another. Overall, the fixing device 16 has three latching receptacles 22. As a result, the holding device 18 can be adjusted or moved or held into three different positions, in particular adjustment positions. In order for the holding device 18 to be held in the respective latching receptacles 22, the holding device 18 has a latching element 24. In this case, a force, in particular an actuating force, which can be exerted by a user and is required to change the latching positions in the latching receptacles 22, is higher than the force, in particular an actuating force or operating force, which is required to operate the portable mobile terminal 14 and / or than the force which is required to tilt the receiving element which receives the portable mobile terminal 14, which is discussed in more detail below.Depending on a position, in particular a pivoted position or an adjusted position, of the holding device 18, the latching element 24 engages in a predetermined latching receptacle 22 of the latching receptacles 22 for positioning the holding device 18. The "latching element" can be formed as an extension. The latching element 24 is preferably designed to be elastically deformable or movable. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the latching element 24 has an, in particular elastic, spring 26 and a latching element 28, which is arranged on the spring 26, wherein the spring 26 is arranged between the holding device 18 and the latching element 28. The latching element 28 is designed, for example, as a cap or a pin or a bolt. As long as the latching element 24 is not arranged in a latching receptacle 22, the spring 26 is compressed. If the holding device 18 is moved, in particular pivoted about a pivot axis 30, as is shown for example in FIG. 3, and if the latching element 24 is hereby moved into a latching receptacle 22, the spring 26 expands and the latching element 28 or the latching element 24 is arranged in the latching receptacle 22. If the holding device 18 is pivoted further about the pivot axis 30, the spring 26 is compressed again, i.e. compressed, and the latching element 28 or latching element 24 is moved again out of the latching receptacle 22.The holding device 18 is thus pivoted about the pivot axis 30. The pivot axis 30 extends perpendicular to the plane of the drawing or in a main direction of extension of the holding device 12.The holding device 18 also has a holder 32 and a receiving element 34. In particular, the holding device 18 is of 2-part construction.The holder 32 comprises a holder base element 36 and at least two holder side elements 38. Further, the bracket side members 38 are arranged to the bracket bottom member 36 such that the bracket bottom member 38 and the two bracket side members 36 include a bracket receiving portion 40 for receiving the receiving member 34. One mounting side element 38 is arranged at one end of the mounting base element 36 and the other mounting side element 38 is arranged at an opposite end of the mounting base element 36. In particular, the holder side elements 38 can be arranged at an angle between 90° and 150° with respect to the holder base element 36, in particular inclined.As can be seen from FIGS. 1 to 5, the receiving element 34 has a trapezoidal shape in cross section. The receiving element 34 is configured to receive or hold or store the portable mobile terminal 14. As can be seen from the FIGS. 1 to 5, the receiving element 34 is arranged on a rear side 42 of the portable mobile terminal 14. The receiving element 34 is arranged between the portable mobile terminal 14 and the holder 32.The holding device 18 can pivot about the pivot axis 30 in the direction of the force by exerting a force, in particular a compressive force, on an outer side 46 of the holding device 18. As can be seen from FIG. 3, the outer side 46 is located on one side of the holder 32. the outer side 46 is arranged opposite the receiving region 40 or facing away from the latter. As can be seen from FIG. 3, by exerting a force, for example by a user, in particular a finger 44 of a user, on the outer side 46 of the corresponding holder side element 38 or holder side wall element, it is possible to pivot about the pivot axis 30. In this case, the holding device 18 is moved in the direction of the force, as is illustrated in FIG. 3 by the arrow 48. If the user pulls or presses with his finger 44 onto the right-hand outer side of the holder 32, the holding device 18 moves to the left. If the user pulls or presses with his finger 44 onto the left-hand outer side of the holder 32, the holding device 18 moves to the right.Furthermore, the holding device 12 has a first detection device (not shown in the figures), which is configured to detect the portable mobile terminal 14 in the holding device 12, in particular the holder 32. For example, the portable mobile terminal can be detected by means of NFC (Near Field Communication).Furthermore, the receiving element 34 is mounted or received movably in the holder 32 together with the portable mobile terminal 14. In this case, the receiving element 34, in particular together with the portable mobile terminal 14, is tiltable about a tilting axis 50, in particular of the receiving element 34, in the holder 32 or the receiving region 40 of the holder 32. In other words, the receiving element 34, in particular together with the portable mobile terminal 14, is mounted movably in the holder 32 and is movable relative to the holder 32 in such a way that the receiving element 34 is pivotable about the tilting axis 50 of the receiving element 34 or of the holding device 18. The tilting axis 50 extends in particular perpendicular to the plane of the drawing or in a main direction of extension of the receiving element 34.Furthermore, the holding device 18 has at least two haptic elements 52. The holding device 12 can also have more than two, in particular four, haptic elements. The two haptic elements 52 are arranged in the receiving region 40 of the holder 32. In this case, the two haptic elements 52 are arranged on the mounting base element 38. The two haptic elements 52 are arranged between the holder 32, in particular on the holder base element 36, and the receiving element 34. In this case, the two haptic elements 52 are arranged at a predetermined distance from one another. During a tilting movement of the receiving element 34, in particular during an actuation by a user, the receiving element 34 is tilted together with the portable mobile terminal 14 about the tilting axis 50. Depending on the tilting direction, the receiving element 34 acts together with the portable mobile terminal 14 on the corresponding haptic element 52. If, as illustrated in FIG. 4, the receiving element 34, in particular with the portable mobile terminal 14, is tilted counter-clockwise, as illustrated by the arrow 54, the receiving element 34 acts on one of the two haptic elements 52. If the receiving element 34 is tilted clockwise, the receiving element 34 acts on the other haptic element 52. In particular, an edge region of the receiving element 34 meets the respective haptic element. The haptic elements 52 provide the user with a haptic feedback during operation. For example, the haptic elements 52 are designed as micro-keys. If the portable mobile terminal 14 of the holding device 18 is arranged, in particular, on the receiving element 34, and a user actuates the portable mobile terminal 14 or exerts an actuating force on the portable mobile terminal 14, as illustrated by the arrow 58 in FIG. 2, the receiving element 34 is tilted about the tilting axis 50 and acts on the corresponding haptic element 52, so that the user receives a haptic feedback.As can be seen from FIG. 5, the receiving element 34 can have four feet 56, of which one foot is arranged on a haptic element 52, in each case. Accordingly, the retention device 12 may include four haptic elements 52. The feet can be arranged at a corner of an edge region of the, in particular square or trapezoidal, receiving element 34, in particular on the side of the receiving element 34 facing the holder 32.In FIGS. 6 to 9, an embodiment of a further system 10' with a further holding device 12' is shown. In the holding device 12', the fixing device 16' and the holder 32' of the holding device 18' are designed analogously or identically to the fixing device 16 and holder 32 of the holding device 18 in connection with the embodiment described in FIGS. 1 to 5. Accordingly, the fixing device 16' and the holder 32' and the pivoting mechanism of the holding device 18' are no longer discussed in more detail, but rather reference is made to the explanations relating to FIGS. 1 to 5. The holding device 12' in FIGS. 6 to 9 differs from the holding device 12 in FIGS. 1 to 5 in the design of the receiving element 34'. Like the receiving element 34 in the embodiment in FIGS. 1 to 5, the receiving element 34' is configured to receive or hold the portable mobile terminal 14.The receiving element 34' has a receiving base element 60 and at least two receiving side elements 62, 64. The receiving side elements 62, 64 are each arranged inclined at a predetermined angle to the receiving base element 60. The receiving side elements 62, 64 and the receiving base element 60 enclose a further receiving area 66 for receiving the portable mobile terminal 14. In this case, one receiving side element 62 can be arranged at one end of the receiving base element 60 and the other receiving side element 64 can be arranged at an opposite end of the receiving base element 60. In particular, the receiving side elements 62, 64 can be arranged, in particular inclined, at an angle between 90° and 150° with respect to the receiving base element. The receiving element 34' is designed similar to the holder 32'. The receiving side elements 62, 64, which can also be referred to as holders, can be accurately custom-made for the portable mobile terminal 14, in particular to the dimensions of the portable mobile terminal 14, or the receiving side elements 62, 64 can be movable and clamp the portable mobile terminal 14.Furthermore, the holding device 18', as well as the holding device 18, has at least two haptic elements 52'. The holding device 18' can also have more than two, in particular four, haptic elements. The two haptic elements 52' are arranged in the further receiving area of the holder 32'. In this case, the two haptic elements 52' are arranged on the mounting base element 38'. The two haptic elements 52' are arranged between the holder 32, in particular the holder bottom element 38', and the receiving element 34'. In this case, the two haptic elements 52' are arranged at a predetermined distance from one another. During a tilting movement of the receiving element 34', in particular during an actuation by a user, the receiving element 34' is tilted together with the portable mobile terminal 14 about the tilting axis 50'. Depending on the tilting direction, the receiving element 34' acts together with the portable mobile terminal 14 on the corresponding haptic element 52'. If the receiving element 34, in particular with the portable mobile terminal 14, is tilted counter-clockwise, the receiving element 34' acts on one of the two haptic elements 52'. If the receiving element 34' is tilted clockwise, the receiving element 34' acts on the other haptic element 52'. The haptic elements 52' provide the user with a haptic feedback during operation. For example, the haptic elements 52 are designed as micro-keys. If the portable mobile terminal 14 is arranged in the holding device 18', in particular on the receiving element 34', and a user actuates the portable mobile terminal 14 or exerts an actuating force on the portable mobile terminal 14, the receiving element 34 is tilted about the tilting axis 50' and acts on the corresponding haptic element 52, so that the user receives a haptic feedback.As can be seen from FIGS. 6 and 7, the receiving element 34' can have four feet 56', one foot each of which is arranged on a haptic element 52'. The feet can be arranged at a corner of an edge region of the receiving element 34', in particular on the side of the receiving element 34' facing the holder 32'. Accordingly, the holding device 12' can have four haptic elements 52'. In FIG. 6, the tilting axis 50' and the pivot axis 30 extend in the same direction, in particular in a main extension direction of the holding device 18, which coincides with a vertical direction of a motor vehicle, for example. In FIG. 7, the tilting axis 50' and the pivot axis 30 extend perpendicular to each other. The tilting axis 50' extends in the main extension direction of the holding device 18'.In contrast to the holding device 18 in the embodiment in FIGS. 1 to 5, the holding device 18' as shown in FIGS. 6 to 9 has a second detection device. In this case, the second detection device can have at least one sensor surface, which is designed in particular as a sensor strip. A surface of the receiving side member 62, 64 merges with a surface of the portable mobile terminal 14. In other words, the surface 68 or surface of the respective receiving side element 62, 64 adjoins a surface or display surface 74 of the portable mobile terminal 14, in particular in a planar manner. As can be seen from FIGS. 8 and 9, the sensor surface 70 is arranged on the surface 68 of one of the receiving side elements 62, 64. In FIG. 8, the holding device 18' has a sensor surface 70. In FIG. 9, the holding device 18' has two sensor surfaces 70, 72. In this case, a first sensor surface 70 is arranged on one receptacle side element 62 and a second sensor surface 72 of the second detection device is arranged on the other receptacle side element 64. The second detection device, in particular the sensor surfaces 70, 72, are configured to detect actuation, in particular by a user. For example, the sensor surfaces 70, 72 can be designed as capacitive surfaces.Additionally or alternatively, it can be provided that the sensor surface 70 or the sensor surfaces 70, 72 is or are divided into regions, wherein each region is assigned or assigned an operating function. In other words, the sensor surface can be divided into a plurality of operator control surfaces. In other words, in the case of sensory surfaces, in particular the sensor surfaces 70, 72, a plurality of functions, in particular operator control functions, can be positioned on the surface 68. Thus, for example, it can be provided that on the sensor surface 70 above and on the sensor surface 72 below the temperature display, the ventilation setting, the seat setting and the air conditioning system AC, a control panel or sensor area of the sensor surface is arranged in each case, via which control panel in particular an operating function can be triggered. Alternatively, it can be provided that control panels with predetermined symbols are identified exclusively on the sensor surfaces, by means of which control functions can be triggered by actuation. For example, in an operation panel, the air conditioner may be turned on, whereby the operation panel is provided with the letter "AC ON". For example, in the case of a further control panel on one of the sensor surfaces 70, 72, the air conditioning system can be switched off, as a result of which the control panel is provided with the letter "AC OFF" or is labelled. For example, in the case of a further operator control panel on one of the sensor surfaces 70, 72, the front window heating can be switched on, as a result of which the operator control panel is provided with a symbol for the front window heating. For example, in the case of a further operator control panel on one of the sensor surfaces 70, 72, the rear window heating can be switched on, as a result of which the operator control panel is provided with a symbol for the rear window heating. Accordingly, a predetermined function, whereby an appliance or a device of the motor vehicle is operable, can be assigned to a predetermined control panel.By actuating the sensor surfaces 70, 72, different functions of the portable mobile terminal 14 or devices of the motor vehicle can be exerted.Alternatively, it can be provided that the surfaces of the receiving side elements 62, 64 are not formed sensorially. By pressing, i.e. applying a force, on the corresponding surface, the portable mobile terminal 14, in particular the receiving element 34, tilts. In this case, by actuating a surface, a predetermined first function, for example an increase function or plus function, and a predetermined second function, for example a reduce function or minus function, can be assigned to the second surface. If a user actuates the surface of the receiving side element 62, for example, a volume or a ventilation intensity or a seat inclination can be increased, in particular depending on which function is controllable. If a user actuates the surface of the receiving side element 64, for example, a volume or a ventilation intensity or a seat inclination can be reduced, in particular depending on which function is controllable.The first detection device can be configured to detect the portable mobile terminal 14 on or in the receiving element 34'. If the portable mobile terminal 14 is coupled to the receiving element 34', i.e. to the holding device 12', a mobile-telephone-side operating mode for vehicle functions can be provided by means of the portable mobile terminal 14. For example, vehicle functions for temperature setting and / or setting ventilation and / or settings of seat heating and / or settings of an air conditioning system can be displayed on a display surface 74 of the portable mobile terminal, as shown in FIG. 9. Thus, for example, settings can be changed by actuating the sensor strips 70, 72. As can be seen from FIG. 9, the first sensor strip 70, which is provided in particular with a plus symbol, can be used to increase set values and the second sensor strip 70, which is provided in particular with a minus symbol, can be used to reduce set values. For example, when a user presses or touches the first sensor strip 70, a temperature or a ventilation strength or a seat inclination can be increased. For example, when the user presses or touches the second sensor strip 72, a temperature or a ventilation strength or a seat inclination can be reduced.As can be seen from FIG. 8, only one surface 68 of the receiving side elements 62, 64 can also be provided with a sensor surface. Alternatively, the second detection device can be configured to detect an actuation of the user on the sensor surface, wherein, in the case of a detected actuation, the pivot axis for pivoting the holding device 18' can be locked or blocked. For example, the holding device 12' can have a control device which is configured to receive a signal upon a detected actuation of the sensor surface and to actuate a blocking mechanism which is configured to block or block the pivot axis 30' for pivoting the holding device 18'.FIG. 10 shows a schematic illustration of an interior 76 of the motor vehicle 78; in this case, the holding device 12, 12' with the portable mobile terminal 14 can be arranged on a sound panel 80 or a center console in the interior 74 of the motor vehicle 76. By means of the pivoting mechanism of the holding device 18, 18' on the fixing device 16, the portable mobile terminal 14 can be pivoted to a driver side or to a passenger side. The portable mobile terminal 14 is arranged in a plane, in particular parallel, to the switchboard 80 when the portable mobile terminal 14, in particular the holding device 18, 18', is in a neutral position, in particular between the driver side and the passenger side.Overall, the examples show how a tiltable holder of a mobile phone or display can be used when the edge of the holder is actuated in order to operate vehicle functions and in addition can still be tilted towards the occupant.
