This technology is a mobile device stand that secures a device to a cradle unit at the end of a link unit rotatably coupled to a base. A sensor detects user motion in the area surrounding the cradle, and a controller moves the cradle accordingly. The link unit uses two motors to drive a closed-loop linkage system consisting of fixed, driving, connecting, and driven links to adjust the cradle's position.
Conventional stands fix mobile devices at predetermined heights and angles, forcing users to manually adjust them whenever they change their posture or location. This is particularly inconvenient in environments like kitchens, where users move frequently or have wet hands, or in bedrooms, where adjusting the height and angle while lying down is difficult.
This technology distinguishes between a primary zone in front of the cradle and a secondary zone surrounding it, moving the cradle to a standard or extended distance based on where the motion is detected, allowing for precise hands-free adjustments. The center of gravity is concentrated in the base for stability, with options for floor or furniture mounting. It is ideal for kitchen recipe viewing, bedroom media consumption, and vehicle or office stands, enabling easy screen alignment even when both hands are occupied.
