1. A method, comprising:
- providing a device, the device having a first screen and a second screen and configured to access a docking rule set, the device further configured to receive a signal threshold value set by a user;
providing a dock, the dock configured to output information to the device wherein the device assumes a predetermined configuration;
establishing a connection between the device and the dock;
configuring the device in a predetermined configuration based on information output from the dock to the device;
displaying different displays or windows on the first screen and the second screen based on the docking rule set;
starting a session between the device and the dock;
moving the device;
determining if a signal threshold value is still met;
if a signal threshold value is still met, continuing the session; and
if a signal threshold value is not still met, terminating the session.

Abstract
A multi-display device can interface with two or more different types of docking stations. The device can determine the type of dock and change the pin outs for a connector to interface with that dock. Once docked, the device can determine a charge status for the device and the dock to present the status to the user. Further, the dock can enter one of several modes, including a call receipt mode and an entertainment mode. The modes allow for expanded functionality for the device while docked. Two particular docks, the laptop dock and the smart dock, provide special functionality with the device.
