Holding device for a vehicle

1 . A holding device for a vehicle, the holding device comprising:

at least a first base plate configured to support an object; and

a cavity formed in a body of the holding device and configured to receive the first base plate and to at least partially receive the object being supported by the first base plate,

wherein the holding device is configured to alter a position of the first base plate within the cavity depending on the object;

wherein the holding device is configured to detect a characteristic of the object and to adapt the position of the at least the first base plate according to the characteristic; and

wherein the holding device is configured to tilt the at least the first base plate depending on the characteristic of the detected object.

2 . The holding device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the holding device comprises at least two base plates,

wherein the holding device is configured to alter the positions of each of the two base plates independently.

3 . The holding device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the holding device comprises at least three base plates, and wherein the three base plates are arranged in a honeycomb pattern.

4 . The holding device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the holding device is configured to receive a signal from a sensor when the sensor detects an object approaching the holding device, and

wherein the holding device is configured to elevate the first base plate when the signal is received by the holding device.

5 . The holding device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the holding device is configured to receive a signal from a sensor when the sensor detects a user approaching the holding device, and

wherein the holding device is configured to elevate the object supported by the first base plate when the signal is received by the holding device.

6 . The holding device according to claim 1 , further comprising

an inductive electrical power supply device and/or a thermal device configured to affect the object being supported by the first base plate.

7 . The holding device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a magnetic element placed at the first base plate to at least partially magnetically support the object.

8 . A vehicle comprising a holding device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the holding device is controlled based on a status of the vehicle.

9 . A holding device for a vehicle, the holding device comprising:

at least a first base plate configured to support an object; and

a cavity formed in a body of the holding device and configured to receive the first base plate and to at least partially receive the object being supported by the first base plate, wherein the holding device is configured to alter a position of the first base plate within the cavity depending on the object;

wherein the holding device is configured to receive a signal from a sensor when the sensor detects that no object is present at the holding device, and

wherein the holding device is configured to position the first base plate substantially planar with a surface of the body of the holding device when the signal is received by the holding device.

10 . The holding device according to claim 9 ,

wherein the holding device is configured to detect a characteristic of the object and to adapt the position of the at least the first base plate according to the characteristic.

11 . A vehicle comprising a holding device according to claim 10 ,

wherein the holding device is controlled based at least in part on a status of the vehicle.

12 . The holding device according to claim 10 ,

wherein the position of the at least the first base plate is adapted to control an orientation of the object in relation to a user of the holding device.

13 . The holding device according to claim 9 , further comprising:

an illuminating element configured to emit light depending on a status of the object and/or a status of the holding device.

14 . The holding device according to claim 9 , wherein the holding device is configured to alter a position of the first base plate within the cavity depending on information relating to the object.

15 . The holding device of claim 14 , wherein the information comprises information provided by a sensor, wherein the sensor detects a characteristic of the object.

16 . A system comprising

a holding device according to claim 1 , and

a sensor device configured to detect a characteristic of an object to be supported by the holding device,

wherein the system is configured to control the holding device ( 10 ) depending on the characteristic.

17 . The system according to claim 16 ,

wherein the system is configured to output a virtual representation of the object in a virtual reality environment.

18 . The system according to claim 16 , further comprising:

a control device configured to control the holding device.
