Docking system and method using near field communication |
摘要 |
A method and system for configuring a mobile computing device to a docking station using near field communication is disclosed. A mobile computing device may scan an NFC tag integrated with the docking station to gather docking-station information. This docking-station information may be used by the mobile computing device to (i) configure its interface connector to match the docking connector, (ii) establish a communication link with the docking station and/or a host computer connected to the docking station, or (iii) authenticate the docking station to the mobile computing device or vice versa. |

1. A method, comprising:
transferring docking-station information from an NFC-enabled docking station to an NFC-enabled mobile computing device using NFC communication, wherein the docking station information comprises the NFC-enabled docking station's connector configuration and the signals to expect on each pin; and reconfiguring the NFC-enabled mobile computing device's interface connector pins to electrically match the NFC-enabled docking station connector's configuration based on the received docking-station information. |
