System and method of switching viewing orientations of a display

A docking structure, comprising:

• a support base comprising a plurality of expansion components;
• a rotatable mount, comprising:
• an arm having a first end rotatably coupled to the support base;
• and
• a tablet support section rotatably coupled to the arm at a second end opposite from the first end, wherein the tablet support section is configured to removably support a tablet computing device having a display;
• a first display mode switch responsive to angular position changes of the rotatable mount between landscape and portrait physical orientations;
• and
• a second display mode switch responsive to angular position changes of the rotatable mount between generally upright and horizontal physical orientations.

A tablet computer system, comprising:

• a tablet computing device, comprising:
• a single panel-shaped enclosure;
• a display integrated within the single panel-shaped enclosure;
• a plurality of personal computer components integrated within the single panel-shaped enclosure;
• and
• a first mount structure;
• and
• a docking structure, comprising:
• an expansion component for the tablet computing device;
• a second mount structure rotatably and removably intercoupleable with the first mount structure and rotatably intercoupleable with the expansion component;
• and
• an automatic viewing orientation switch for the display coupled to the first or second mount structures, wherein the automatic viewing orientation switch is responsive to angular position changes of the display.

A method, comprising the acts of:

• rotatably supporting a display relative to a base structure via first and second rotatable structures, wherein the first rotatable structure has a first range of rotation between landscape and portrait physical orientations of the display with respect to the base structure, and the second rotatable structure has a second range of rotation between generally upright and horizontal physical orientations of the display with respect to the base structure;
• automatically switching display orientation modes of the display in response to a first physical rotation of the display between orientations of the display;
• and
• automatically switching operational modes of the display in response to a second physical rotation of the display.
