Electronic device combination

Abstract

A combination of a first device and a second device is provided. The first device may include a tablet dock and the second device may include a mobile communication device such as a phone. The tablet dock may include a docking slot with an inner rim and an input. The phone may be sized to fit within the docking slot and may include an outer rim that slidably engages and releasably attaches to the inner rim. The outer rim may include an output that connects with the input. Therefore, when the phone is docked within the docking slot, a full sized tablet may be activated using data from the phone.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A combination electronic device comprising:
 a first device comprising a first display screen and a docking slot, wherein the docking slot comprises an inner rim comprising an input and one of a male and female component;   a second device comprising a second display screen and an outer rim, wherein the second device is formed to fit within the docking slot, and wherein the outer rim comprises an output and one of a male and female component opposite of the inner rim,   wherein the male and female components of the inner rim and the outer rim slidably engage one another connecting the output to the input, thereby releasably attaching the second device to the first device,   wherein the first display screen and the second display screen are aligned along the same plane when the first device and the second device are connected, thereby forming an overall display screen.   
     
     
         2 . The combination electronic device of  claim 1 , wherein the first device comprises a tablet dock and the second device comprises a mobile communication device. 
     
     
         3 . The combination electronic device of  claim 1 , wherein the inner rim of the first device comprises a first rail member and the outer rim of the second device comprises a second rail member that slidably engages with the first rail member. 
     
     
         4 . The combination electronic device of  claim 3 , wherein the first rail member comprises a channel and the second rail member comprises a ridge. 
     
     
         5 . The combination electronic device of  claim 4 , wherein the inner rim of the first device comprises a latch and the outer rim of the second device comprises a lock latch slot, wherein the latch and the lock latch slot releasably connect the first device with the second device. 
     
     
         6 . The combination electronic device of  claim 4 , wherein the inner rim comprises a first side, a second side, and an inner end, and the outer rim comprises a first side, a second side and a top end, wherein the first side and the second side of the inner rim comprise the ridge, the first side and the second side of the outer rim comprises the channel, the inner end of the inner rim comprises the latch, and the top end of the outer rim comprises the lock latch slot. 
     
     
         7 . The combination electronic device of  claim 1 , wherein the inner rim of the first device is magnetically attracted to the outer rim of the second device. 
     
     
         8 . The combination electronic device of  claim 2 , wherein the first device comprises a tablet bezel, and the second device comprises a phone bezel, wherein the tablet bezel and the phone bezel are aligned when the phone and tablet are connected.
