         27 . The system of  claim 21 , where the first image comprises an image corresponding to a particular person associated with a telephone number of an incoming call received at the communication device, and where the peripheral device is further to:
 display the image corresponding to the particular person via the one or more displays before the incoming call is accepted by the user of the communication device.   
     
     
         28 . A device comprising:
 a plurality of displays for displaying one or more images of a plurality of images; and   a processor to:
 generate display information, identifying a first display, of the plurality of displays, to display a first image of the plurality of images, and identifying a second display, of the plurality of displays, to display a second image, based on received audible information, that is transmitted to a communication device associated with the device, and an audio signal, that is transmitted from the communication device, respectively, where the first image comprises a different image than the second image. 
   
     
     
         29 . The device of  claim 28 , further comprising:
 a microphone to receive the audible information from the user.   
     
     
         30 . The device of  claim 28 , further comprising:
 a communication interface to communicatively link the device and the communication device, and   where the processor is further to:
 cause an alternate display of the first image via the first display and the second image via the second display, based on display information that is received from the communication device at the communication interface. 
   
     
     
         31 . The device of  claim 28 , further comprising:
 a speaker to transmit the audio signal, and   where the second image includes a video associated with the audio signal.   
     
     
         32 . The device of  claim 28 , where the first image and the second image are received from the communication device, and the device further comprises:
 a memory to store each of the plurality of images, including the first image and the second image received from the communication device.   
     
     
         33 . The device of  claim 28 , where the processor is further to:
 selectively display, when a communication application is not currently being executed on the communication device, a third image, of the plurality of images, via one of the plurality of displays.   
     
     
         34 . The device of  claim 28 , where the first image comprises an image corresponding to a particular person associated with a telephone number of an incoming call received at the communication device, and where the processor is further to:
 display the image corresponding to the particular person via one or more of the plurality of displays before the incoming call is accepted by the user of the communication device.   
     
     
         35 . A method comprising:
 retrieving, by a main device and based on a communication activity of a peripheral device, a plurality of images and corresponding display information, from a memory, where the display information relates each of a plurality of images to a particular display, of a plurality of displays, of the peripheral device;   transmitting, by the main device and via one or more communication links established between the main device and the peripheral device, the plurality of images and corresponding display information to the peripheral device;   detecting, by the main device, audible information received via a microphone of the peripheral device;   transmitting, by the main device and via the one or more communication links, an audio signal to the peripheral device;   displaying, based on the display information, one of the plurality of images on at least one of the plurality of displays of the peripheral device in response to detecting the audible information; and   displaying, based on the display information, another one of the plurality of images on the at least one of the plurality of displays of the peripheral device in response to transmitting the audio signal.   
     
     
         36 . The method of  claim 35 , further comprising:
 displaying, based on a display theme and the communication activity, one or more images, of the plurality of images, on one or more of the plurality of displays of the peripheral device.   
     
     
         37 . The method of  claim 35 , further comprising:
 creating an association between the communication activity, the one or more images of the plurality of images, and the one or more of the plurality of displays of the peripheral device; and   storing the association in a memory of the main device.   
     
     
         38 . The method of  claim 37 , further comprising:
 identifying the execution of a communication application corresponding to the communication activity; and   retrieving the plurality of images and the corresponding display information in response to the identification of the execution of the communication application.   
     
     
         39 . The method of  claim 35 , where the one or more communication links comprise a plurality of information links and each of the plurality of information links is associated with one of the plurality of displays of the peripheral device, the method further comprising:
 transmitting the one of the plurality of images via one of the plurality of communication links; and   transmitting the other one of the plurality of images via another one of the plurality of communication links.   
     
     
         40 . The method of  claim 35 , where the one or more communication links comprise a plurality of information links and each of the plurality of information links is associated with one of the plurality of displays of the peripheral device, the method further comprising:
 transmitting the one of the plurality of images via one of the plurality of communication links; and   transmitting the display information via another one of the plurality of information links.
