Abstract
A non-transitory computer-readable medium can include instructions for performing a method that includes docking a mobile device with a docking station using at least one physical connection and at least one wireless connection to provide communication between the mobile device and the docking station. One of the physical or wireless connections can be selected for providing a signaling channel for communication of signaling data between the mobile device and the docking station. Independently of the signaling channel, one of the physical or wireless connections can be selected for providing a media channel for communication of media data between the mobile device and the docking station.
Claims20
A non-transitory computer-readable medium that includes instructions executable by a processor, the instructions comprising:
- connection logic to provide connection data identifying which of at least two connections is available for communication between a mobile device and a peripheral device when the mobile device is docked with the peripheral device;
- a signaling manager to control a signaling channel for communication of signaling data over a first connection of the at least two connections between the mobile device and the peripheral device, the first connection being selected from the at least two connections based on the connection data;
- and
- a media manager to control a media channel for communication of media data over a second connection of the at least two connections between the mobile device and the peripheral device based on the connection data, the first connection and the second connection being selected independently.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium to store instructions for performing a method that comprises:
- docking a mobile device with a docking station using at least one physical connection and at least one wireless connection to provide communication between the mobile device and the docking station;
- selecting one of the physical or wireless connections for providing a signaling channel for communication of signaling data between the mobile device and the docking station;
- and
- independently of the signaling channel, selecting one of the physical or wireless connections for providing a media channel for communication of media data between the mobile device and the docking station.
