Description

[0001] 1. The present invention relates to a multifunctional leg mount for mobile phones, which, in addition to securely fixing and protecting the device, also offers a variety of additional functions. These include an integrated battery with wireless charging, Bluetooth connectivity, LED lighting, a speaker, an automatic SOS function, and medical and fitness-related sensors for recording vital parameters. The mount is ergonomically designed, size-adjustable, and can be worn on the leg or used as a table mount. It is aimed particularly at active users who want to wear their mobile phone securely and functionally on their body without sacrificing comfort, safety, or health monitoring. 2. Technical field

[0002] The invention relates to a multifunctional leg mount for mobile phones with an integrated battery, Bluetooth, lighting, speaker, and automatic SOS function. Through the integration of medical and fitness trackers, the mount enables the continuous monitoring of relevant vital parameters of the user, such as step count, calorie consumption, skin temperature, hydration, and muscle activity. Measurements are taken directly on the thigh muscles or skin, and the data can be displayed and analyzed in real time via an app on the mobile phone. 3. State of the art

[0003] Most smartphone mounts offer attachments to bicycles, vehicles, or directly to the body, but usually lack comprehensive protection, charging, or emergency features. Currently available smartphone mounts are primarily designed for attachment to vehicles or fixed objects and do not provide sufficient stability and protection when worn on the body, especially on the leg. Furthermore, they often lack the multifunctionality that would allow for secure mounting during sporting activities such as walking, running, or cycling, as well as use as a freestanding table mount for comfortable media viewing indoors. Many existing solutions fail to consider ergonomic requirements or offer integrated safety features such as automatic SOS signals in case of a fall.The present invention fills this gap by combining an elastic, individually adjustable leg support with comprehensive protection, integrated power supply, and multifunctional use, including a table stand function. Previous supports rarely consider the integration of medical sensors for the continuous monitoring of vital parameters such as heart rate, calorie consumption, or muscle activity. 4. Object of the invention

[0004] The task is to provide an innovative mount that securely fixes the mobile phone to the leg and close to the body, comprehensively protects the device from dust, water, and impacts, charges wirelessly, and integrates safety features such as an automatic SOS function in case of an accident. In addition to wireless Qi charging, the mount also has a USB-C port, allowing the mobile phone to be connected directly with a charging cable or the mount itself to be charged via USB using a charger or external power source. This dual charging and connectivity option enables flexible use and ensures that the mobile phone can be charged wirelessly or via cable and communicate with the mount at any time. 5. Brief description of the invention

[0005] The invention comprises an elastic, size-adjustable, and ergonomically padded cuff, a fully protected mobile phone holder, an integrated battery, a Bluetooth module, LED lighting, a speaker, and an automatic SOS mechanism. The holder can be controlled via a specially developed mobile phone app, allowing the user to conveniently and intuitively manage functions such as adjusting the LED light modes, Bluetooth pairing, activating or deactivating the SOS function, and displaying the battery level. The holder can be equipped with medical or fitness-oriented sensors that record vital parameters such as step count, calorie consumption, skin temperature, muscle activity, and the wearer's hydration level, making this data available for evaluation and monitoring via the mobile app. 6. Examples of Implementation 6.1. Attachment: The holder is attached to the thigh or lower leg using Velcro or magnetic fasteners and can be ergonomically adjusted to different leg circumferences. 6.2. Protective Case: The phone is surrounded by a shock-absorbing and waterproof housing (IPX standard), protecting it from dust, water, and impacts. 6.3. Battery Unit: The holder contains a rechargeable battery (5,000-10,000 mAh) with wired (USB-C / Lightning) and wireless (Qi standard) charging. 6.4. Rotation mechanism: The holder for the mobile phone can be rotated at least 90° around the horizontal axis, so that portrait and landscape formats can be used. 6.5. Bluetooth and speaker: An integrated Bluetooth module enables connection to external devices; a built-in speaker serves for audio amplification and playback of alarm signals. 6.6. Automatic SOS Function: An integrated sensor detects sudden falls or strong vibrations. In an emergency, the LED lights automatically switch to SOS flashing mode and an audible SOS tone is activated via the speaker to ensure the user can be located quickly. 7. Use as a table mount

[0006] After being removed from the leg, the holder can be used as a stable table stand for videos, films or telephone conferences. 8. Further advantages and extensions

[0007] The invention offers a convenient, safe and versatile solution for mobile users and can be expanded by additional modules (such as communication modules or sensor modules). Images and explanations (illustrations and descriptions) Description of Fig. 1

[0008] Fig. The image shows a side view of the multifunctional leg mount, which securely holds a mobile phone in a protective case and attaches to the thigh via an elastic, size-adjustable cuff with a hook-and-loop or magnetic closure. This cuff ensures a firm, non-slip fit even during activities such as walking, running, or other athletic movements.

[0009] The robust, shock-absorbing, and water-repellent protective case reliably protects the device from external influences. The mounting unit is equipped with a rotating round device (plate) that allows the mobile phone to be rotated at least 90 degrees around the horizontal axis, enabling flexible use in both portrait and landscape orientations.

[0010] For power supply, the holder has an integrated battery unit with wireless Qi charging function and also a USB-C port, which can be used to charge the mobile phone via cable as well as to connect the holder itself to external charging sources.

[0011] Control buttons on the mount allow you to operate various modes of the LED lighting, as well as the Bluetooth module and the activation of the automatic SOS system. This SOS system includes a sensor that detects sudden falls or violent impacts and automatically activates the LED SOS light and an audible alarm via the built-in speaker to help locate the user quickly.

[0012] In addition, the mount can be controlled via a special mobile app, which allows the user intuitive control over lighting, Bluetooth, SOS functions and battery status.

[0013] After being removed from the leg, the holder can be used as a stable table stand to allow hands-free and clear use of the mobile phone, for example for video conferences or media playback. Description of Fig. 2

[0014] Fig. shows an exploded view of the mounting unit and the separate mobile phone.

[0015] The mobile phone can be easily removed from the holder and can be charged wirelessly according to the Qi standard, independent of the holder.

[0016] Below the mobile phone, integrated components are located in the holder, including an LED light for illumination and a speaker for audio playback and SOS signals.

[0017] These components are ergonomically arranged to keep the weight low while ensuring maximum functionality.

[0018] The holder itself is simply constructed, with a stable rubber coating for securely holding the mobile phone, which also supports different device sizes.

[0019] This design allows for quick handling and high protection of the communication device when used on the leg. The mounting unit is modular, so sensors and other complex functions such as vital sign measurements and app integration can be retrofitted or expanded at any time.
