1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a vehicular holding module, and more specifically, to a vehicular holding module capable of zooming information displayed on a screen.
2. Description of the Prior Art
With the improvement of wireless communication and electronic technology, cellular phones have become indispensable communication products in daily life. Along with the all-in-one trend, users would like to be able to choose a multi-function cellular phone. Therefore, there are more and more additional functions installed in cellular phones, such as GPS (Global Positioning System).
A GPS cellular phone is more portable and cheaper than an automobile GPS, so a user may want to use the GPS cellular phone to replace the automobile GPS. However, when the user uses the GPS cellular phone to look up roadway information while driving, the user cannot see information displayed on the screen of the GPS cellular phone clearly because of the not-big-enough screen size (about 2.5-2.8 inches). In such a manner, the use of the GPS cellular phone is not only constrained by the small screen size but also inconvenient for the user.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONThe present invention discloses a vehicular holding module comprising a frame for holding an electronic device having a screen; and a display device disposed at a side of the frame, for zooming information displayed on the screen.
The present invention further discloses a vehicular electronic module comprising an electronic device having a screen; a frame for holding the electronic device; and a display device disposed at a side of the frame, for zooming information displayed on the screen.
The present invention further discloses a vehicular electronic module comprising an electronic device having a screen; a frame for holding the electronic device; a display device disposed at a side of the frame, for zooming information displayed on the screen; and a connection mechanism connected to the display device and the frame, for supporting the display device at the side of the frame, the connection mechanism comprising a cantilever board having a groove structure; and a slide device connected to the display device and disposed movably inside the groove structure, for adjusting a distance between the display device and the screen of the electronic device, the slide device comprising a telescopic structure fixed telescopically to the groove structure.
These and other objectives of the present invention will no doubt become obvious to those of ordinary skill in the art after reading the following detailed description of the preferred embodiment that is illustrated in the various figures and drawings.

Furthermore, the frame 18 is not limited to having a single telescopic part 24. For example, if the size of the electronic device 12 does not match the size of the holding area of the frame 18, the user can adjust telescopic parts respectively disposed at four sides of the frame 18 to make the holding area of the frame 18 fit the size of the electronic device 12. In such a manner, the holding area of the frame 18 can be suitable for different sized electronic devices.

Furthermore, the connection mechanism of the present invention can also not have the function of adjusting the distance between the display device and the frame. That is to say, the distance between the display device and the frame can be fixed to the focal distance of the display device.
A combination of a display device and a frame is utilized to zoom information displayed on a screen of an electronic device disposed at the frame according to the present invention. In such a manner, the user can see information displayed on the screen clearly through the display device. When applied to a GPS cellular phone, the display device can be a magnifying glass. Therefore, the user can see roadway information displayed on the screen of the GPS cellular phone clearly through the magnifying glass.
Those skilled in the art will readily observe that numerous modifications and alterations of the device and method may be made while retaining the teachings of the invention. Accordingly, the above disclosure should be construed as limited only by the metes and bounds of the appended claims.
