Patent number: 10530820Abstract: A host device (200) for wireless communication with multiple dockee devices (220,221,230) is coupled to peripherals (210,211) for rendering audio or video (AV) data. The host has a docking processor for docking dockee devices for providing access to the peripherals. The dockee device has a dockee processor arranged for docking, as a dockee device, with the host device for getting access to the peripherals. The docking processor is arranged for docking at least one primary dockee device (230) and at least one secondary dockee device (220,221). Thereby, to the primary dockee device, control is provided over the peripherals for determining the AV data to be rendered. To the secondary dockee device is transferred the AV data to be rendered via the peripherals. For example a primary dockee device, presenter P, is enabled to control and determine the AV contents that are rendered, whereas secondary devices, attendees A, are enabled to monitor the AV data.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2014Date of Patent: January 7, 2020Assignee: Koninklijke Philips N.V.Inventors: Franciscus Antonius Maria Van De Laar, Walter Dees

Patent number: 10271359Abstract: A host (100) provides a service to a dockee (120) via wireless docking. The host has a host wireless communication unit (102) and a near field receiver (103). When the user places the dockee near the host within a near field communication (153) distance, a near field transmitter (123) transmits a service search signal comprising a dockee identifier and a dockee service list for indicating services which are relevant to the dockee. The host determines a matching service set of services that are available at the host, and transmits, via the host communication unit, a service available signal comprising the dockee identifier and the matching service set via the host communication unit. The dockee processor determines whether the received dockee identifier corresponds to the dockee identifier and any of the matching services is actually required by the dockee, and if so, initiates the wireless docking with the host.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2015Date of Patent: April 23, 2019Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventors: Johannes Arnoldus Cornelis Bernsen, Walter Dees, Franciscus Antonius Maria Van De Laar

Publication number: 20190014469Abstract: A secure wireless communication system has a communication device acting as a service seeker (210) and a further communication device acting as a service provider (220) according to a security protocol defining link layer security according to a security mechanism. The service provider enables a first service requiring a link layer security according to a first security mechanism. The devices establish a first secure link connection 5 (241) to engage the first service. The service provider determines that a further service requires a link layer security according to a second security mechanism different from the first security mechanism.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2016Publication date: January 10, 2019Inventors: Walter DEES, Franciscus Antonius Maria VAN DE LAAR, Johannes Arnoldus Cornelis BERNSEN

Publication number: 20180335514Abstract: A first device (110) for distance measurement via wireless communication (130) uses a ranging protocol for determining a distance (140) to a second device (120) via a round trip time measurement, wherein first time data represents the round trip time and second time data represents a response time between receiving a request and sending a corresponding acknowledge. The second device receives the round trip time and determines the distance. The first device determines third time data by subtracting from the first time data a calculated travelling time of the messages between the first device and the second device based on the determined distance, and determines identifier data indicative of hardware and/or software present in the second device. The device then obtains, from a database based on the identifier data, a reference interval value, and verifies whether the determined distance is reliable by comparing the third time data to the reference interval value.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 21, 2016Publication date: November 22, 2018Applicant: Koninklijke Philips N.V.Inventors: Walter DEES, Franciscus Antonius Maria VAN DE LAAR

Publication number: 20160334837Abstract: A wireless docking system has a host (100) and at least one dockee (120,130,140). The host accommodates at least one wireless docking environment including at least one peripheral (110,111,112). The host has a host communication unit (102) for providing wireless communication and a host processor (101) arranged for docking the dockee into the wireless docking environment. The dockee has a dockee communication unit (121) for providing said wireless communication, and a dockee processor (122) arranged for docking into the wireless docking environment. The dockee has at least one dockee peripheral (123). The dockee processor advertises the dockee peripheral, and, upon receiving a coupling request from the host, couples to the host for providing connection data and control of the dockee peripheral by the host. The host processor advertises the set of peripherals including the dockee peripheral for making the dockee peripheral available for use as a further peripheral in the wireless docking environment.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 5, 2015Publication date: November 17, 2016Inventors: WALTER DEES, FRANCISCUS ANTONIUS MARIA VAN DE LAAR, PAUL ANTHONY SHRUBSOLE, PIETER JOSEPH MATHIAS CUSTERS

Patent number: 9426835Abstract: A communication between a client device (2) and a peripheral unit (14) uses tunneling over another communication mode. The other communication mode is implemented between the client device and a host device (1), in addition to a communication mode implemented between the host device and the peripheral unit. The host device and the client device are each provided with additional communication modules (3-6), at application level and transport level. Security issues against intrusions into the communication may be implemented by the modules added to the host or client unit.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2012Date of Patent: August 23, 2016Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventors: Franciscus Antonius Maria Van De Laar, Johannes Arnoldus Cornelis Bernsen, Koen Johanna Guillaume Holtman
