SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANAGING SAFETY BETWEEN PORTABLE COMPUTING DEVICE AND PORTABLE COMPUTING DEVICE DOCKING STATION Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC G06F1/16 

FIELD: information technology.

SUBSTANCE: method can involve determining whether a portable computing device (PCD) is interfaced with a PCD docking station when the PCD is mounted in the PCD docking station, starting up an internal security call if the PCD is not interfaced with the PCD docking station, requesting a primary access code from the user and verifying the primary access code. The method can also involve terminating the internal security call if the access code is correct, and providing limited access to content elements and PCD applications through the PCD docking station.

EFFECT: improved system and method for utilising computational capabilities provided by a portable computing device, at a time when access to power and computational capabilities can be limited by the size of the portable computing device.
