Abstract
Methods and apparatuses are provided for supporting data transmission by a wireless docking center. A first single hop communication link is established with a peripheral device configured to receive content data. A second single hop communication link is established with a dockee device configured to transmit the content data. At least one of a message and the content data is transferred from the second communication link to the first communication link.
Claims32
A method of supporting data transmission by a wireless docking center, the method comprising the steps of:
- establishing a first single hop communication link with a peripheral device configured to receive content data;
- establishing a second single hop communication link with a dockee device configured to transmit the content data;
- and
- transferring at least one of a message and the content data from the second communication link to the first communication link.
A method of transmitting data by a dockee device configured to transmit content data and dock to a wireless docking center, the method comprising the steps of:
- establishing a first single hop communication link with a wireless docking center having established a second single hop communication link with a peripheral device configured to receive the content data;
- and
- transmitting a message or the content data to the wireless docking center through the first communication link.
A wireless docking center device supporting data transmission, the wireless docking center device comprising:
- a proxy source module configured to establish a first single hop communication link with a peripheral device configured to receive content data;
- a proxy sink module configured to establish a second single hop communication link with a dockee device configured to transmit the content data;
- and
- a controller configured to transfer at least one of a message and the content data from the second communication link to the first communication link.
A dockee device configured to transmit content data and dock to a wireless docking center, the dockee device comprising:
- a controller configured to establish a first single hop communication link with a wireless docking center having established a second single hop communication link with a peripheral device configured to receive the content data, and
- a transceiver configured to transmit a message or the content data to the wireless docking center through the first communication link.
A method of receiving data by a peripheral device configured to receive content data and dock to a wireless docking center, the method comprising the steps of:
- establishing a first single hop communication link with a wireless docking center having established a second single hop communication link with a dockee device configured to transmit the content data;
- and
- receiving a message or the content data from the wireless docking center through the first communication link.
A peripheral device configured to receive content data and dock to a wireless docking center, the peripheral device comprising:
- a controller configured to establish a first single hop communication link with a wireless docking center having established a second single hop communication link with a dockee device configured to transmit the content data, and
- a transceiver configured to receive a message or the content data from the wireless docking center through the first communication link.
