Universal Docking Station

Abstract

A mobile device interface platform, often referred to as a ‘docking station’. The docking station is universal in that a variety of different types, sizes and configurations of mobile devices may be immobily retained by the same engagement mechanism of the station. Where wireless mobile devices are accommodated by the docking station, the latitudinal reception affords a user a degree of imprecise placement and allows any number of wireless device types to be employed without regard to precise pin configurations or other non-wireless communicative coupling features. Nevertheless, a physically secure unitary association of the mobile device and docking station is present allowing for a functional and user-friendly manner of employing them together. The docking station may be employed for wirelessly acquiring data from the secured mobile device, sending data thereto, or even for wirelessly providing a power supply thereto.
