Pairing between wireless devices

A pairing system for enabling a wireless communication between a device and at least one peripheral unit in a wireless docking environment, comprising:

• a memory;
• at least one controller coupled to the memory, the controller being configured to:
• configure a main communication circuit to communicate with the at least one peripheral unit in accordance with a first wireless communication type;
• pair a wireless docking station with the at least one peripheral unit using pairing information;
• determine whether the device is docked to the wireless docking station;
• when the device is docked to the wireless docking station, trigger a transfer of the pairing information from the wireless docking station to the device in accordance with a second communication type, the pairing information enabling the device to communicate with the at least one peripheral unit directly using the first wireless communication type without going through the wireless docking station.

A wireless docking station, comprising:

• a memory;
• a transceiver;
• a controller coupled to the memory, the controller being configured to:
• configure a main communication circuit to communicate with the at least one peripheral unit in accordance with a first wireless communication type;
• pair a wireless docking station with the at least one peripheral unit using pairing information;
• determine whether the device is docked to the wireless docking station;
• when the device is docked to the wireless docking station, trigger a transfer of the pairing information from the wireless docking station to the device in accordance with a second communication type, the pairing information enabling the device to communicate with the at least one peripheral unit directly using the first wireless communication type without going through the wireless docking station.
