Abstract
A docking station adapted to receive and communicate with one or more mobile device. An interchangeable docking module can be removably engaged on the docking station. The docking module is adapted to receive a mobile device. Once the mobile device is received (“docked”) in the docking module, the docking station may be operable to deliver an electric current to charge the mobile device. A communication link between the docking station and the mobile device may also be established. A user may configure various functions of the mobile device using the docking station.
