1338 results about "Docking station" patented technology

In computing a docking station or port replicator (hub) or dock provides a simplified way of "plugging-in" a laptop computer to common peripherals. Because a wide range of dockable devices—from mobile telephones to wireless mice—have different connectors, power signaling, and uses, docks are not standardized and are therefore often designed with a specific type of device in mind. This technology is also used on the Nintendo Switch hybrid video game console.
