Patent Images
1. A method, comprising:
- communicatively coupling a mobile station to a docking station;
while said mobile station is communicatively coupled to said docking station, said docking station downloading a user-selected alert pattern from said mobile station and storing said user-selected alert pattern in a storage system in said docking station;
de-coupling said mobile station from said docking station; and
in response to an incoming call, while said mobile station is de-coupled from said docking station, retrieving said user-selected alert pattern from said storage system in said docking station and playing said user-selected alert pattern through a voice-over-packet (VoP) device communicatively coupled to said docking station.

Abstract
A user selects a ringtone or other alert pattern that can be played to provide notification of an incoming call and provisions the user-selected alert pattern into a mobile station. The mobile station is communicatively coupled to a docking station. When the mobile station receives an incoming call, the docking station plays the user-selected alert pattern through one or more audio systems associated with the docking station.
