Abstract

A media system for a seat in a vehicle comprises a display electrically coupled to a media player, wherein the display and the media player are housed together in a first housing, and a second housing disposed substantially in the seat and adapted to secure the first housing including the display and the media player therein, wherein the first housing is selectively detachable from the second housing.

Claims (33)

1. A media system for a seat in a vehicle, comprising:
a display electrically coupled to a media player, wherein the display and the media player are housed together in a first housing; and a second housing disposed substantially in the seat and adapted to secure the first housing including the display and the media player therein, wherein the first housing is selectively detachable from the second housing.
2. The media system of claim 1, wherein the first housing further comprises a connector for connecting the first housing to a power source when the first housing is detached from the second housing.
3. The media system of claim 2, wherein the connector includes contacts for connecting a battery pack to the first housing.
4. The media system of claim 2, wherein the connector includes a port for connecting an AC/DC adapter to the first housing.
5. The media system of claim 2, wherein the connector is positioned in a battery housing located in the first housing.
6. The media system of claim 1, wherein the second housing is secured to the seat using at least one of a screw, a catch, an adhesive, a bolt, molding and a latch.
7. The media system of claim 1, wherein the first housing is selectively detachable from the second housing using a quick release mechanism.
8. The media system of claim 1, wherein the first housing is selectively detachable from the second housing using a latch mechanism.
9. The media system of claim 8, wherein the latch mechanism functions as a hinge for pivoting the first housing against the second housing.
10. The media system of claim 1, wherein the first housing is selectively detachable from the second housing using a flexible coupling mechanism including concave and convex portions.
11. The media system of claim 1, wherein the first housing is selectively detachable from the second housing using at least one of Velcro and a snap.
12. The media system of claim 1, wherein the first housing includes a speaker.
13. The media system of claim 1, wherein the display displays video data received from the media player.
14. The media system of claim 1, wherein the display is one of a liquid crystal display, a gas plasma display, an electro-luminescent display, and a light emitting diode display.
15. The media system of claim 1, wherein the media player is one of a DVD
player, a CD-ROM player, a video game player, a videocassette player, a television tuner, a radio tuner, a wireless receiver and tuner, an MP3 player, a digital video recorder, a device for playing media supplied from a mass storage device, and a device programmed for playing media stored on a hard drive.
16. The media system of claim 1, wherein the second housing is mounted in one of a headrest and a main body of the seat.
17. A media system for a seat in a vehicle, comprising:
a display electrically coupled to a media player, wherein the display and the media player are housed together in a first housing; and a second housing disposed substantially in the seat and adapted to secure the first housing including the display and the media player therein, wherein the first housing is pivotally attached to the second housing using a tilt mechanism, wherein the first housing is capable of pivoting in an angle range of about 0° to about 120°
with respect to the second housing.
18. The media system of claim 17, wherein the tilt mechanism includes a hinge configured for pivoting the first housing against the second housing.
19. The media system of claim 17, wherein the tilt mechanism includes a locking device preventing the first housing from pivoting beyond a predetermined angle.
20. The media system of claim 19, wherein the predetermined angle is an angle in the range of about 15° to about 45°.
21. The media system of claim 19, wherein the locking device includes a fastener comprising a bar on the first housing configured to slide into a hole formed in the second housing.
22. The media system of claim 19, wherein the locking device is capable of being released to allow the first housing to pivot beyond the predetermined angle.
23. The media system of claim 17, wherein the second housing is secured to the seat using at least one of a screw, a catch, an adhesive, a bolt, molding and a latch.
24. The media system of claim 17, wherein the first housing includes a speaker.
25. The media system of claim 17, wherein the display displays video data received from the media player.
26. The media system of claim 17, wherein the display is one of a liquid crystal display, a gas plasma display, an electro-luminescent display, and a light emitting diode display.
27. The media system of claim 17, wherein the media player is one of a DVD
player, a CD-ROM player, a video game player, a videocassette player, a television tuner, a radio tuner, a wireless receiver and tuner, an MP3 player, a digital video recorder, a device for playing media supplied from a mass storage device, and a device programmed for playing media stored on a hard drive.
28. A method of removing a media system from a seat of a vehicle, comprising:
pivoting a first housing against a second housing for exposing a portion of the second housing, wherein the first housing is pivotally attached to the second housing and the second housing is attached to the seat;
removing a fixing device from the exposed portion of the second housing, wherein the fixing device attaches the second housing to the seat; and detaching the second housing, including the first housing pivotally attached thereto, from the seat.
29. The method of claim 28, wherein the first housing includes a display electrically coupled to a media player.
30. The method of claim 28, wherein the second housing is disposed substantially in the seat.
31. The method of claim 28, further comprising unplugging the media system from at least one of a power source and a data source.
32. The method of claim 28, wherein the fixing device includes at least one of a screw, a catch, molding, a latch and a bolt.
33. The method of claim 28, further comprising releasing a locking device for enabling pivoting of the first housing beyond a predetermined angle.
