WIRELESS DOCKING DEVICE

摘要

In a wireless docking system a dockee device (120) communicates with a host device (100) that is coupled to at least one peripheral (110, 111, 112). The host device has a host communication unit (102) and a docking processor (101) arranged for docking at least one dockee device. The dockee device has a dockee communication unit (121), and a dockee processor (122) for docking to the host device. The dockee processor is arranged for providing at least one virtual peripheral device in a virtual docking environment, the virtual peripheral device having a privacy level. When docking, the virtual peripherals are mapped on actual peripherals so as to apply the privacy level to the actual peripheral. When docked, data transfer with the actual peripheral is controlled according to the respective peripheral privacy level.

主权项

1. A dockee device for wireless docking to a host device, the host device being configured for coupling to at least one peripheral,
the dockee device comprising:
a dockee communication unit for accommodating wireless communication, anda dockee processor arranged for wireless docking to the host device for getting access to at least one actual peripheral, the dockee processor being configured for
providing at least one virtual peripheral device in a virtual docking environment, the virtual peripheral device having a peripheral privacy level configured by assigning a privacy level to the virtual peripheral, the privacy level defining a level of confidentiality that is indicative of a relation between a user of the dockee device and other persons having access to a respective peripheral,when docking, mapping the at least one virtual peripheral device on the at least one actual peripheral, the mapping comprising assigning the peripheral privacy level to the at least one actual peripheral, andwhen docked, controlling data transfer with the at least one actual peripheral according to the peripheral privacy level.
