  • Patent number: 10747265
    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing wall mount systems for personal entertainment devices (PEDs) or other display devices that allow for replacement of older, expensive, obsolete, and/or heavy aircraft monitors with improved PEDs (e.g., tablets). A wall mount system may include a PED holder that securely and removably attaches to a docking base that is installable on a surface (e.g., wall of an aircraft cabin). The docking base may include one or more connectors or ports that provide at least one of power and/or data transfer capabilities. The PED holder removably holds a PED therein, and is removably attachable to the docking base via a quick release connector that does not require any tools to operate. The PED holder includes circuitry that allows the PED to be electrically coupled to the one or more connectors or ports of the docking base when the PED holder is attached to the docking base.

  • Publication number: 20200156793
    Abstract: Systems and methods for connecting a personal entertainment device (PED) using the legacy technology provided in an aircraft, truck, or other vehicle. The system includes a digital content player that transmits audio and video signals in a first format, a video converter that converts the signals to a second format different from the first format, and a PED holder to which the PED is attached and secured. In addition, the PED holder includes one or more points of adjustment that enable a user to rotate and change the viewing angle for a PED attached to the PED holder. The PED holder may optionally include one or more electrical ports that enable the user to charge multiple devices at the same time. In addition, the electrical ports may be connected in a hub configuration that enables the devices connected to the multiple ports to communicate with one another.
