Wireless docking architecture

A wireless dockee (WD) comprising:

• a memory;
• one or more processors;
• a docking service module executable by the one or more processors to perform a plurality of operations to wirelessly dock with a wireless docking center (WDC) such that the WD may access one or more peripheral functions (PFs) associated with the WDC;
• an application service platform (ASP) module;
• and
• one or more peripheral service modules that each correspond to at least one PF of the one or more PFs associated with the WDC,
• wherein the docking service module is executable by the one of more processors to interface with the ASP module to perform a first subset of the plurality of operations, and wherein the docking service module is executable by the one of more processors to interface with the one or more peripheral service modules to perform a second subset of the plurality of operations.

A wireless dockee (WD) comprising:

• means for performing a plurality of operations to wirelessly dock with a wireless docking center (WDC) such that the WD may access one or more peripheral functions (PFs) associated with the WDC, wherein the means for performing comprise:
• means for executing a docking service;
• means for executing an application service platform (ASP);
• and
• means for executing one or more peripheral services that each correspond to at least one PF of the one or more PFs associated with the WDC,
• wherein the means for executing the docking service are configured to interface with the means for executing the ASP to perform a first subset of the plurality of operations, and wherein the means for executing the docking service are configured to interface with the means for executing the one or more peripheral services to perform a second subset of the plurality of operations.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium stores instructions that, when executed, cause one or more processors of a wireless dockee (WD) to:

• perform a plurality of operations to wirelessly dock with a wireless docking center (WDC) such that the WD may access one or more peripheral functions (PFs) associated with the WDC;
• host a docking service;
• host an application service platform (ASP);
• host one or more peripheral services that each correspond to at least one PF of the one or more PFs associated with the WDC;
• cause the docking service to interface with the ASP in order to perform a first subset of the plurality of operations;
• and
• cause the docking service to interface with the one or more peripheral services in order to perform a second subset of the plurality of operations.

A method comprising:

• performing, by a wireless docking center (WDC), a plurality of operations to wirelessly dock with a wireless dockee (WD) such that the WD may access one or more peripheral functions (PFs) associated with the WDC, wherein the WDC comprises:
• a docking service;
• an application service platform (ASP);
• and
• one or more peripheral services that each correspond to at least one of the one or more PFs associated with the WDC, the method further comprising:
• interfacing, by the docking service and with the ASP, to perform a first subset of the plurality of operations;
• and
• interfacing, by the docking service and with the one or more peripheral services, to perform a second subset of the plurality of operations.
