## Abstract

A display system including a communication unit to receive streamed data from a mobile terminal located within the vehicle; a first display unit operatively connected to the communication unit and installed in a first location in the vehicle, the first display unit to display the streamed data; and a second display unit operatively connected to the communication unit and installed in a second location in the vehicle different than the first location, the second display unit to display the streamed data. Further, the first display unit interrupts the display of the streamed data by the first display unit while the mobile terminal processes an incoming or outgoing call, and the second display unit continues to display the streamed data while the mobile terminal processes the incoming or outgoing call.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A display system configured to be installed in a vehicle, the display system comprising:
a communication unit configured to receive data from a mobile terminal located within the vehicle;
a first display unit operatively connected to the communication unit and configured to be installed in a first position in the vehicle, the first display unit configured to display the data;
a second display unit operatively connected to the communication unit and configured to be installed in a second position in the vehicle different than the first position, the second display unit configured to display the data; and
a controller configured to change the display of the data on the first display unit while the mobile terminal processes an incoming or outgoing event, and
wherein the second display unit is configured to continue to display the data while the mobile terminal processes the incoming or outgoing event.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The display system of claim 1, wherein the controller is configured to change the display of the data on the first display unit by one of
freezing the display at an image or frame displayed when the mobile terminal begins to process the incoming or outgoing event;
replacing the streamed data with a predetermined image; or
overlaying an image on the data.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The display system of claim 2, wherein the replacing of the data with the predetermined image includes at least one of displaying a call screen image and displaying an entire image that is black.

### Claim 4 (depends on 2)

The display system of claim 2, wherein the overlaying of the image on the data includes displaying an X shape formed by two diagonal straight lines on the image.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The display system of claim 1, wherein the first display unit is configured to output video or audio data related to the incoming or outgoing event while the display of the data is changed.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The display system of claim 1, wherein the event includes a call.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The display system of claim 1, wherein the data includes streamed data received from the mobile terminal.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The display system of claim 1, wherein the data includes at least one of a still image, a moving image, and text.
