The still-hypothetical device comes across as a rather conventional iOS device dock with a major exception - it would allow access to Siri while docked.
The patent describes that the system would listen for voice prompts that it can identify as users commands - play, pause, next track, etc. - and also funnel this into Siri for more complex tasks, like measurement conversion or getting stock quotes.
