Docking systems and methods for electronic devices

A method of docking a foldable electronic device, the foldable electronic device having a plurality of portions that are foldable with respect to each other, the method comprising:

• receiving, at an engagement surface, the foldable electronic device, wherein receiving the foldable electronic device having a plurality of portions includes maintaining a separation space between at least a first portion and a second portion of the plurality of portions, wherein maintaining the separation space between the first portion and second portion includes disposing a separator between the first portion and the second portion of the foldable electronic device and allowing air flow from a vent opening through the separation space between the first portion and the second portion;
• and
• blowing air into the separation space between the first portion and the second portion.

At least one non-transitory machine-readable medium including instructions to operate a docking system for a foldable electronic device, the foldable electronic device having a plurality of portions that are foldable with respect to each other, and the instructions, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:

• receive presence information regarding a presence of the foldable electronic device at an engagement surface, the engagement surface having a separator to maintain a separation space between a first portion and a second portion of the plurality of portions when the foldable electronic device is operably engaged with the engagement surface, and a vent opening that is arranged to direct airflow into the separation space, wherein the separator maintains the separation allowing air flow from the vent opening through the separation space between the first portion and the second portion, wherein the separator is configured to be disposed between the first portion and the second portion of the foldable electronic device;
• and
• operate a blower, based on the presence information, to blow air through the vent opening and into the separation space between the first portion and the second portion.
