Abstract:
Various aspects of the present disclosure enable a docking procedure where a dockee, when docking with a docking host that manages a docking environment, can become directly paired with the peripherals in the docking environment in a straightforward fashion. According to one example, a dockee may transmit a peripheral direct connect request to a docking host. In response, the docking host can send a peripheral direct pair request to the peripheral and a peripheral direct connect response to the dockee, where each message includes respective information to enable the direct pairing between the dockee and the peripheral. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also included.
Abstract:
Aspects of this disclosure relate to data transfer. In an example, aspects of this disclosure include a method that includes generating, at a host device, a Universal Serial Bus (USB) redirect configuration request for establishing a connection between a first USB device connected to a USB hub and a second USB device connected to the USB hub, wherein the connection between the first USB device and the second USB device does not include the host device. The method also includes requesting, after the connection between the first USB device and the second USB device has been established, data to be routed from the first USB device to the second USB device via the USB hub.
Abstract:
A wireless source and an automobile dashboard configured to function as a wireless sink device are configured to communicate with one another including authenticating the source device for communications with the dashboard sink, transmitting user inputs received at the dashboard sink back to the wireless source device to enable a user to control the source device and interact with and control the content that is being transmitted from the source device to the dashboard sink, controlling the operational state of the source device based on the operational state of the automobile in which the dashboard sink is arranged, and transmitting data generated by the automobile from the dashboard sink to the source device so as to enable the source device to process at least some of the data.
