1. A docking station comprising:
a first client interface to be associated with a first client, the first client interface being a near field communications interface; a second client interface to be associated with a second client; a support interface to be associated with a support device; a proximity detector further comprising a near field communications compatible antenna and a switch operatively coupled with the near field communications compatible antenna, the proximity detector being configured to detect a first bump of a client and the docking station via the near field communications antenna and, responsive to the first bump, to associate the first client interface with the detected client and to switch the support interface to communicating with the first client interface from communicating with the second client interface via the switch.
