各種安裝位置之若干安裝設計，但當使用者在目的地之間 駕駛時’主要依賴於來自PND之語音指令。當接收語音指 令時，司機必須濾掉（例如）道路噪音、引擎噪音、運輸工 具及/或收音機内之對話。現有PND裝置往往在背面上具有 小揚聲器，因為背面之大部分通常用來將PND緊固至座架 之臂，該臂又被緊固i運輸工具之擔風玻璃或儀錶板。不 幸的是，所使用之小揚聲器往往缺乏聲訊輸出音量且使語 音輸出失真，從而使來自揚聲器之語音輸出難以聽到及/ 或理解。 因此，在WO 2009/092660中描述了 一種導航組件，其包 含一座架，該座架具有一座架臂及一連接器臂；該連接器 臂連接至揚聲器埠周邊之至少一部分，從而允許使用較大 且因此品質較好的揚聲器。然而，此組態需要將一突起形 成於PND之外罩中，從而使pND較龐大。 隨著音訊技術之進步，可利用改良品質之較小揚聲器， 且因此並不總是需要w〇

Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a frame apparatus that, for example, fastens a portable device to a surface (such as fastening a portable navigation device to a transport) ^And the type of windshield or dashboard). The present invention is also directed to a type of navigation device assembly that can be fastened, for example, to a surface such as a windshield or instrument panel of a vehicle. The invention further relates to a housing for a portable navigation split, the housing being, for example, accommodating a component and/or component that supports the functionality of the portable navigation device. [Prior Art] s (king ball *** system) signal receiving and processing functional portable computing devices (eg, portable navigation devices (PND)) are well known, widely used as in-vehicle or other vehicle navigation systems. Generally speaking, the modern PND contains a processor, a memory, and map data stored in the object. The processor cooperates with the memory to provide - the executive driver can establish a software operating system in the ring brother, and often refers to one or more external software programs to: enable the functionality of the pND to be controlled, And a variety of other features are available. The device further includes one or more input interfaces for allowing the user to interact with the device and the control device, and one or more output interfaces, and the information relay can be transmitted to the use by using the = or the output interface. By. Outputs: illustrative examples of ι faces include: visual displays and illustrative examples of speaker input interfaces for audio output including: one or more physical buttons to control the on/off operation of the device or other features (in the device) In the case of the 141162.doc 201111197, the buttons are not necessarily on the device itself, but on the steering wheel, and - the microphone used to detect the user's words. In a frame, the output interface display is configured to be a touch-sensitive display (via touch-sensitive overlay or other) to provide an additional input interface through which the user can pass the display Come (four) the installation of 1 set. 'This type of device will also often include: _ or multiple physical connector interfaces, through which the power signal and the conditional data signal can be transmitted to and received from the device. Power signals and conditional data signals; and, depending on the situation, one or more wireless transmitters, receiving numbers, are allowed in cellular telecommunications and other signal and data networks (eg, blue [Wi-Fi, Wi_Max, GSM' UMTS) And similar networks). This type of PND also includes a GPS antenna with which satellite broadcast signals including positional data can be received and subsequently processed to determine the current position of the device. The PND may also include an electronic gyroscope (4) (10) that produces a signal. (d) and accelerometer, the signal can be processed to determine the current angular and linear acceleration, and combined with the position information derived from the GPS signal to determine the speed of the device and thus the transport jade with the device installed and (4) displacement 1 These features are most commonly provided in the navigation system within the vehicle, but may also be provided in the PND (if this is advantageous). The utility of such PNDs is primarily manifested in their ability to determine the route between the first position (usually, the origin or current position) and the second position (usually the destination). Such locations may be entered by the user of the device by any of a wide variety of different methods, for example, by postal code, street name and door 143162.doc 201111197, previously known "well known" destinations ( Such as a famous location 1 political location (such as a stadium or swimming pool) or other landmarks) and a favorite or recently visited destination. Generally, the calendar has a function for calculating a "best" or "best" route between the departure address location and the destination address location based on the map data. The "best" $"best" route is based on predetermined criteria or the shortest route. The choice of route to guide the driver may be non-complex and the selected route may take into account existing, forecasted and dynamically and/or wirelessly received traffic and road information, historical information on road speed and driver It is good for determining the factors of road alternatives (for example, '°"3 machine-designated routes should not include highways or types of PNDs that can usually be installed on the dashboard of a transport guard or broken, but can also form The onboard computer for the transport of the radios: on the Internet! Become part of the control system of the transport itself. The navigation device is part of the / type system, such as PDA (portable digital help, :, body) Player, mobile phone or the like, and in this case the system's sling functionality is extended by installing the software on the device for route calculation and navigation along the calculated route. In the case of 'when the route is calculated, the user and the navigation driver will select the desired deduction from the list of proposed routes as appropriate. The monthly situation' user can intervene or guide the route selection The process, for example, is determined by ^4Ϊ /^> £. : A special trip, should avoid or must follow certain routes, roads, reputation, +,, - Zuo, or guidelines. PND route The calculations form a major function, and the navigation along this route is another—the main function. These PNDs often provide visuals along a guideline and /n “匕八” month. And/or the sfl command is used to guide the user to the end of the route along the line, that is, the desired door is in the evil... 1 Touch also often displays the map information on the screen during navigation. The δ is regularly updated on the screen, so that the displayed map information table ''the location of the 丨 虽 丨 丨 』 』 』 ” ” ” ” ” ” The device is being used for navigation within the vehicle.) The icon displayed on the screen usually indicates the current device location and is centered, and the center is also displaying map information and other map features of the current and surrounding roads near the current device location. Depending on the situation, The navigation information is displayed in the status bar above, below or on one side of the displayed map message. Examples of the navigation information include the distance from the front road to the next deviation that the user needs to select, the nature of the deviation, which may be Another icon indicating the specific type of deviation (example b, left turn or right turn). The navigation function also determines the (4), duration and timing of the voice command, which can be used along the route by these instructions. As you can see, simple instructions such as "100 (7) turn left" require a lot of processing and analysis. As mentioned earlier, user interaction with the device can be driven by touch screen, or (in addition or otherwise) A pole-mounted remote control, activated by voice or by any other suitable method. In addition, the device continuously monitors road and traffic conditions and provides or selects a route change due to changing conditions, on which the rest will be left The journey. An instant traffic monitoring system based on various technologies (eg, mobile phone data exchange, stationary phase 143162.doc 201111197, GPS fleet tracking) is being used to identify traffic delays and feed ▲ information to the notification system (example #, radio data system) (RDS) - Traffic Message Channel (TMc) service). While it is known that the route recalculation is performed when the user deviates from the previously calculated route (occasional or intentional) during navigation, another important function provided by the device is that the immediate traffic condition refers to an alternative route that would be more advantageous. If the automatic route is recalculated under If. The device is capable of automatically recognizing such conditions or whether the user actively causes the device to perform route recalculation for any reason. It is also known to allow the calculation of routes in accordance with user-defined criteria, for example, such that the month b wishes to avoid any roads that may occur, are expected to occur, or are being produced by the 3C. The device software will then use the X at condition indicating the positive U on the particular road to store the various routes and calculate the route ordering based on the likely blockage or the degree of delay due to the blockage. Other route calculation and navigation criteria based on traffic information may also be mentioned. Although the route calculation and navigation functions are important for the overall utility of pND, it is possible to use the device purely for information display or "free driving". Not in line with the current device location - "Maps and Transportation Resources" where the route has not been calculated and the device is currently not performing navigation. This squat mode sling can be applied when the user knows the route to travel along and does not require navigation assistance. The #gf 上述: 罝 罝 (eg, '920 〇 type supplied by TomTom International BV, supplied by TomTom International BV) provides a means for the user to navigate from one location to another location 143162.doc 201111197 (details Words <, using traffic-related information) a reliable means. These devices are very useful when the user is unfamiliar with the destination line to which they are navigating. As mentioned above, when a PND is used in transporting jade, the PND is sometimes mounted on a surface inside the vehicle, for example, a windshield (windshield) or a town plate. While it is known to have several mounting designs for various mounting positions on the windshield or dashboard, the user relies primarily on voice commands from the PND when driving between destinations. When receiving voice commands, the driver must filter out, for example, road noise, engine noise, transport tools and/or conversations within the radio. Existing PND devices tend to have small speakers on the back side, as most of the back side is typically used to secure the PND to the arm of the mount, which in turn is fastened to the windshield or instrument panel of the i-transport. Unfortunately, the small speakers used often lack audio output volume and distort the speech output, making the speech output from the speaker difficult to hear and/or understand. Thus, a navigation assembly is described in WO 2009/092660, which includes a frame having a frame arm and a connector arm; the connector arm is coupled to at least a portion of the periphery of the speaker casing to allow for greater use And therefore the speaker of better quality. However, this configuration requires a protrusion to be formed in the outer cover of the PND, so that the pND is bulky.

In this example, portions of housing 2〇2 are exposed. The frame apparatus 208 is foldable and includes a connector arm 21A and a frame arm 212. The connector arm 21A is coupled to the frame arm 212 such that the frame arm 212 is pole-turned relative to the connector arm 21. In this example, the pivot is provided by the ball joint 214. The mount device 2〇8 can thus be in an open position, as shown in Figure 4, Figure 143162.doc -17-201111197 5, Figure 7 and Figure 9 The position of the cradle arm 2 丨 2 is inclined relative to the connector arm 210. The cradle device 2 〇 8 can also be in a closed position, as shown in Figure 6 'in the closed position the cradle arm 212 is in a collapsed state and substantially The connector arms 210 are parallel. Referring now to Figure 5, the connector arms 21 are shaped to form a connecting jaw 2i for engagement on opposite sides of the navigation device 100, as will be described in more detail later herein. The connecting claw 216 includes a pivot end 21 separated by a flat or panel portion 222. 8 and a latching end 220. In this example, the flat portion 222 is formed in a disk-shaped 'pivot end 218 and the latched end 22' is integrally formed with the flat portion 222 and is completely opposite to each other. In this example, the connecting claw The pivot end 218 includes a pair of pivot teeth 224. However, those skilled in the art will appreciate that a larger or smaller number of teeth or other shaped protrusions can be used. The flat portion 222 includes a concealable surface 226, here In an example, the concealable surface 226 has a first continuous region 228 having a reduced or reduced thickness and a second continuous region 230 having a reduced or reduced thickness. A first continuous region 228 having a thinned thickness and a first continuous region 230 having a thinned thickness are portions of the concealable surface 226. The 620 can also have a first locator pin 232 and a second locator pin 234. The first locator pin 232 and the second locator pin 234 are formed in a body-like manner with the flat portion 222. The latch end 220 includes a first portion 236 of the latch mechanism. In this example, the first portion 236 of the latching mechanism is a folded portion of the resiliently deformable material having a direction that extends generally perpendicularly away from the flat portion 222. The I5 knife 237 and a return portion 239 returning toward the flat portion 222. Latch 143162.doc -18- 201111197 The return portion 239 of the first portion 236 of the lock mechanism is slightly inclined relative to the outward portion 237 of the first portion 236 of the latch mechanism. Referring to Figure 7, the flat portion 222 includes a presentation surface 238 opposite the concealable surface 226. The presentation surface 238 includes a recess array 240 formed therein. In this example, the array of recesses 24 are arranged in a circular pattern. However, those skilled in the art will appreciate that alternative configurations, such as matrix configuration, are contemplated. The recess array 240 constitutes a pattern of indentations on the surface 238. Referring back to FIG. 4, the outer casing 202 includes a first formation, such as a first recess formation 242 at a first side 244 of the outer casing 202; and a second formation, for example, at a second side 248 of the outer casing 202. A second recessed formation 246 at the location. In this example, the first formation 242 can equally receive the pivot end 218 and the latch end 220 of the connecting jaw 216. Similarly, the second formation 246 can equally receive the pivot end 218 and the latch end 220 of the connecting jaw 216. A first recessed formation 242 and a second recessed formation 246 are formed on opposite sides of the outer casing 202 for engaging the jaws 216 to the opposite sides of the navigation device 1''. As can be seen from Figure 4, the first recessed formation 242 includes a first transverse groove 252 and a first pair of mutually opposite lateral side fingers 254. Similarly, the second recess formation 246 includes a second transverse groove 256 and a second pair of mutually opposite crotch side fingers 258. In this example, the first pair of opposing lateral side fingers 254 and the second pair of opposing lateral side fingers 258 are partially chamfered. Referring to Fig. 8, first recess formation 242 includes a pair of complementary lateral side recesses 250 that are spaced apart to align with pivot teeth 224 when engaged with pivot teeth 224. Although not shown in FIG. 8, the second 143162.doc -19-201111197 sag 246 includes another pair of complementary lateral recesses 25 系, the pair of complementary lateral recesses 250 The complementary lateral side recesses 25 are disposed in the first recess formations 242 in the same manner as disposed in the second recess formations 246. It will be appreciated that although the pivot end 218 of the connecting jaw 216 is depicted in this example as having a pivot tooth 224 and the outer casing 202 is depicted as including a complementary lateral recess 250', it is also contemplated that the housing 2〇2 has a pivot The shaft teeth 224 and the complementary lateral side pockets 250 are formed in an inverted configuration at the pivot end 218 of the connecting jaws 216. In operation, the pivot end 218 of the connecting jaw 216 is engaged with the first formation 242 such that the pivot tooth 224 is located in the pair of complementary lateral side recesses 250 of the first formation 242. The complementary lateral side recess 250 is sufficiently sized to enable the connecting jaw 216 to pivot to some extent in the complementary recess 25A. The flat portion 222 and the latch end 220 of the connector arm 210 are oriented toward the housing 2〇2 and the latch end 220 is pushed into the second lateral slot 256. When the flat portion 222 is directed toward the outer casing 202, the first locator pin 232 and the second locator pin 234 are aligned with one of the pair of locator recesses 26 formed in the outer casing 202 until the first locator pin The 232 and second locator pins 234 are located in the pair of locator recesses 260 to ensure proper alignment of the cradle device 208 with the housing 2 〇 2 . Additionally, when the latch end 220 of the connector arm 210 is pushed into the second transverse slot 256 of the first formation 246 of the housing 2〇2, the return portion 239 of the first portion 236 of the latch mechanism crosses the second When the beveled faces of the laterally opposite fingers 258 are opposite each other, the latching mechanism is urged toward the outward portion a of the portion 236 of the latch mechanism by the chamfered second pair of opposing lateral fingers 258. The return portion 239 of the first portion 236. The portion of the return portion 239 of the first portion 236 of the η lock mechanism abuts the portions of the lateral side fingers 258 143162.doc -20. 201111197 points over the second pair of mutually opposite lateral side fingers 258, the flash lock mechanism The return portion 239 of the first portion 236 is springed back into an uncompressed form. The return portion 239 of the first portion 236 of the latch mechanism is then prevented from exiting the second transverse slot 256 unless the return portion 239 of the first portion 236 of the latch mechanism is directed toward the outward portion of the first portion 236 of the latch mechanism by finger pressure. A? Push back such that upon removal of the latch end 22 from the second transverse slot 256, the return portion 239 of the first portion 236 of the latch mechanism can pass over the second pair of mutually opposite lateral fingers 258. Thus, it can be seen that the second recess formation 246 provides a second portion of the latch mechanism and the detachment of the mount device 208 from the housing 202 is achieved by finger pressure on the first portion of the latch mechanism. In addition, the latching end 22, and thus the engagement of the first portion of the latching mechanism with the second portion of the latching mechanism, is snap-fitted, and the latching end 22 is engaged with the housing 2〇2 The pivot teeth 224 are retained in place in the complementary lateral side recesses. When the pedestal 208 is attached to the outer casing 202, the opening 205 formed in the outer cover portion 206 is closed by the flat portion 222, thereby concealing portions of the interior of the navigation device 100 that were previously exposed by the outer cover portion 206. Once the frame apparatus 2〇8 has been detached from the outer casing 202, the outer cover portion 206 can be detached from the outer casing 2〇2 by finger pressure. Knowing the same nature of the first recess formation 242 and the second recess formation 246, the connecting jaw 216 and thus the mount apparatus 208 are reversibly engageable and attachable to the orientation opposite to the orientation described above The outer casing 2〇2, also the P-axis, 218 can be surfaced to the second recess formation 246 and the latch end 220 can be lightly coupled to the first recess formation 242. 143162.doc 21- 201111197 Although the mount device 208 is coupled to the outer casing 202 (ie, the mount device 208 is in place), the first continuous region 228 having a thinned or reduced thickness and having an underrun or reduced A second continuous region 23 of thickness covers at least a portion of the speaker located in the housing 2〇2, and the reduced thickness of the portion of the flat portion 222 that covers the speaker provides enhanced sound propagation therethrough. The first recess formation 242 and the second recess formation 246 have been described herein as being disposed on the "side" of the outer casing 202. However, those skilled in the art should understand that the term "side" should not be construed as simply excluding the "end" of the outer casing 202 and that any opposing sides are contemplated. Further, although the above example has been described in the case where the first recessed formation 242 and the second recessed formation 246 are formed in the outer casing 2〇2, the first recessed formation 242 and the second recessed formation 246 may be formed on the outer cover. Or in the outer casing portion (if this is advantageous with respect to design and/or operational motivation). In this example, if desired, the retainer recess can also be formed in the outer cover or outer cover portion.
