Abstract
Methods and apparatuses are provided for managing a Wireless Docking Network (WDN). A Wireless Docking Center (WDC) receives a creation request message for creating the WDN from a Wireless Dockee (WD). The WDC identifies one or more peripheral devices based on the creation request message. The WDC creates the WDN based on the one or more peripheral devices. A response message including an ID of the WDN is transmitted from the WDC to the WD.
Claims23
A method of managing a Wireless Docking Network (WDN) by a Wireless Docking Center (WDC), the method comprising the steps of:
- receiving, at the WDC, a creation request message for creating the WDN from a Wireless Dockee (WD);
- identifying, at the WDC, one or more peripheral devices based on the creation request message;
- creating, at the WDC, the WDN based on the one or more peripheral devices;
- and
- transmitting, from the WDC, to the WD, a response message including an ID of the WDN.
A method of managing a Wireless Docking Network (WDN) by a Wireless Dockee (WD), the method comprising the steps of:
- transmitting, from the WD, to a Wireless Docking Center (WDC), a creation request message for creating the WDN;
- and
- receiving, at the WD, from the WDC, a response message including an ID of the WDN created according to the creation request message.
A Wireless Docking Center (WDC) device for managing a Wireless Docking Network (WDN), the WDC device comprising:
- a transceiver configured to receive, from a Wireless Dockee (WD), a creation request message for creating the WDN;
- and
- a controller configured to identify one or more peripheral devices based on the creation request message, to create the WDN based on the one or more peripheral devices, and to transmit, to the WD, a response message including an ID of the WDN.
A Wireless Dockee (WD) device for managing a Wireless Docking Network (WDN), the WD device comprising:
- a transceiver configured to transmit and receive signals;
- and
- a controller configured to control the transceiver to transmit, to a Wireless Docking Center (WDC), a creation request message for creating the WDN, and to control the transceiver to receive, from the WDC, a response message including an ID of the WDN created according to the creation request message.
A system for managing a Wireless Docking Network (WDN), the system comprising:
- a Wireless Docking Center (WDC) device configured to receive, from a Wireless Dockee (WD), a creation request message for creating the WDN, to identify one or more peripheral devices based on the creation request message, to create the WDN based on the one or more peripheral devices, and to transmit, to the WD, a response message including an ID of the WDN;
- and
- the WD device configured to transmit, to the WDC, the creation request message, and to receive, from the WDC, the response message.
An article of manufacture for managing a Wireless Docking Network (WDN), comprising a machine readable medium containing one or more programs which when executed implement the steps of:
- receiving a creation request message for creating the WDN from a Wireless Dockee (WD);
- identifying one or more peripheral devices based on the creation request message;
- creating the WDN based on the one or more peripheral devices;
- and
- transmitting to the WD, a response message including an ID of the WDN.
