Abstract
A method and apparatus are provided for sensing when a display of a portable information handling system (IHS) is moved from an open position to a closed position. The closing of the display is employed as a trigger for the generation of an undocking request to the operating system of the IHS. Undocking the IHS from the docking device is made easier because the user does not need to locate and then push a docking request button on the docking station.
