A method for determining which of a plurality of mobile devices connected to the docking station is permitted to control the peripherals involves the docking station determining (32) whether a new mobile device is connected to an input port of the docking station, and, if so, whether (34) the new mobile device is capable of controlling any of the peripherals connected to the docking station. If it is determined that the new mobile device is not capable of controlling any of the peripherals, the docking station determines (46) that the new mobile device is to be connected as a peripheral. If it is determined that the new mobile device is capable of controlling one or more of the peripherals, the docking station determines (40) whether an existing mobile device connected to the docking station has control of the peripherals as a host device, and, if so, determining (44) which of the new mobile device or the existing mobile device has a higher priority to control the peripherals as the host device, and providing (42, 46) the determined host device access to control the peripherals. |
