摘要
The described embodiments of the present invention provide a computer docking station (12, 32, 58, 68, 76, 84, 90, 92, 94, 96) that can have its functionality reconfigured by a docked portable personal computer (10, 38, 62, 66, 74, 82). In at least one embodiment of the invention, the computer docking station is configured as a stand alone computer prior to docking with a portable computer, may have its functionality reconfigured when docked to the portable computer, and reconfigures itself to be a stand alone computer when undocked from the portable computer. In one embodiment of the invention, docking station resources are placed under the control of a docked portable computer. In another embodiment of the invention, docked portable computer resources are placed under the control of the docking station. The invention contemplates docking via direct connection, radio requency "RF" communications, infrared "IR" communications, 1394 high performance serial bus communications, or card bus communications, and/or combinations of one or more of these communications techniques.
