Abstract:
1. A method of managing portable computing device (PCD) and PCD docking station security, the method comprising: determining whether a PCD is mated with a PCD docking station when the PCD is docked with the PCD docking station; initiating a back-end security call to a security center when it is determined that the PCD is not mated with the PCD docking station; querying a user for a first access code; determining whether the first access code is correct; terminating the back-end security call when the first access code is correct; providing limiting access to PCD content items and applications via the PCD docking station; blocking access to a PCD docking station memory while providing the limiting access to PCD content items and applications via the PCD docking station; determining whether access to the PCD docking station memory is attempted; querying the user for a second access code when access to the PCD docking station memory is attempted; determining whether the second access code is correct; allowing full access to the PCD docking station memory when the second access code is correct; and blocking access to the PCD docking station memory when the second access code is incorrect.
