according to an embodiment of the present invention , an interface system for a mobile device is developed to provide new applications and experiences on the mobile device . by providing appropriate interfaces and interconnection with different devices , a mobile device , such as a mobile phone or smart phone , may act as the primary source for household information and entertainment . fig1 illustrates a docking station 100 that only provides audio content . a user inserts an audio device , such as a mp3 player , ipod , etc ., into a slot 110 in the docking device 120 . the docking device 120 includes an interface 112 for accessing files on the audio device . the docking device 120 then processes the audio files for playing the audio files on speakers 130 integrated with the docking station 100 . however , additional functionality is not provided . controls 140 are provided to allow the user to select a volume , station , song , tone , etc . fig2 illustrates a mobile device 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention . the mobile device 200 includes a display screen 210 . the display screen 210 may be used to present video 212 to a user . the display screen 210 may also be used to select games 272 and audio files or songs 282 . a user typically uses earphones or earbuds 230 to listen to the audio files 282 being played on the mobile device 200 . the mobile device 200 may also function as a mobile phone . a keypad 250 is provided for allowing a user to send messages and to dial phone number to call . however , once a user returns home , the user typically will stop using the mobile device 200 . instead , the user will transition to use of a component music system , a television , or a computer for receiving information or entertainment content . fig3 illustrates a system 300 for providing a multimedia mobile device docking station and charger with built in accessories according to an embodiment of the present invention . in fig3 , a mobile device 310 is coupled to a mobile device interface 320 . the mobile device interface 320 provides accessibility to files and functions of the mobile device 310 . a processor 330 is coupled to the mobile device interface 320 . a charger 340 is also coupled to the mobile device interface 320 . the charger 340 may be used to provide recharging to the mobile device 310 . power to the multi - media docking station for operating the docking station and recharging the docked multi - media device is supplied by a power supply 342 . the power supply 342 may be an internal or external power supply 342 . the power supply 342 may be configured to supply power by being plugged into an electrical outlet . various user interfaces 350 are coupled to the mobile device interface 320 and the processor 330 . the user interface 350 may be a keyboard for data entry , a joystick , trackball or mouse for providing navigation and selection functions , a game controller for providing gaming commands and functions , a remote control device for providing remote control to associated electronic equipment ; etc . those skilled in the art will recognize that this list is not meant to be limiting , but rather is provided for illustration of a few embodiments of the present invention . software and data files that the processor 330 accesses may be stored on the non - volatile storage device 360 . the processor 330 may provide signals to a speaker system 370 , a video controller 372 and a game controller 374 . other devices may also be coupled to the processor 330 for provisioning of additional functions . a display device 380 may be coupled to the video controller 372 . the display device 380 may be a part of the system or may be separate from the system . moreover , the display device 380 may be a television , a projector , or any other type of display device . the system 300 prevents customers from being tied down at home to watch television , listen to music , use the telephone , or surf the net . the system 300 provides all of these abilities while utilizing only one device . the system 300 provides an avenue that allows users to disconnect from home cable companies , wireline telecommunication providers , and internet for a desktop or home based personal computers . at the same time , however , the system 300 offers users the convenience and familiarity of large home products while the user is home , and allows the user freedom to leave at any time without disruption to the activity the user was engaged in at home . in addition , the system 300 provides an incentive to a user to consolidate all their services with one provider to reduce costs . thus , users will slowly start to disconnect services that they would normally use at home , e . g ., cable tv , radio , desktop personal computer , home landline phone , etc ., and substitute all of these services for the ones they receive under one price plan on a mobile device 310 . fig4 is a flow chart 400 of a method for providing multimedia mobile device docking station and charger with built in accessories according to an embodiment of the present invention . in fig4 , a mobile device is determined to be coupled to a mobile device interface 410 . a processor interfaces with the mobile device disposed at the mobile device interface 420 . in response to the interfacing of the processor with the mobile device , the processor presents a display to the user and / or processes user input provided by a user interface 430 . power is applied to the mobile device through the mobile device interface 440 . fig5 is a block diagram 500 of another embodiment of the present invention . in fig5 , a mobile device interface 520 and charger 540 may be provided as was shown with reference to fig3 . a processor 530 is coupled to the mobile device interface 520 . however , in fig5 , the processor 530 is coupled to ports 532 , 534 through various circuits 570 , 572 to provide signals either directly or wirelessly to different devices 580 , 582 , 584 in the house . for example , game controller 580 receives a hard - wired signal from the direct transmission circuit 570 from the processor 530 . the display device 582 and the speaker system receive wireless signals that are received by wireless receiver 586 and audio electronics / wireless receiver 588 . the user may control what signals are being sent to which device . software and data files that the processor 530 accesses may be stored on the non - volatile storage device 560 . those skilled in the art will readily recognize that the arrangement shown in fig5 is not meant to be limiting . rather , the system is configured to allow a user complete flexibility in selecting the arrangement of devices for receiving signals from the system . moreover , the storage device 560 may be accessed by a user through the mobile device or through a configuration port 590 , e . g ., a usb port , to allow the user to download files and software , to configure the software processed by the processor 530 and to control how the user enjoys the experience provided through the mobile device . again various user interfaces 550 may be coupled to the mobile device interface 520 and the processor 530 to navigate and provide input to the system . although the invention has been described in connection with various embodiments , those of ordinary skill in the art will understand that many modifications can be made thereto within the scope of the claims that follow . accordingly , it is not intended that the scope of the invention in any way be limited by the above description , but instead be determined entirely by reference to the claims that follow .
