  • System and method for wireless docking utilizing a wireless docking profile
    Patent number: 9749038
    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure provide the concept of a wireless docking profile, which may be standardized across a number of vendors, such that a common standard defining minimum sets of peripherals can be shared by dockees and docking hosts to simplify connection setup and negotiation. Further aspects of the disclosure provide a docking procedure that may be utilized to establish a docking connection between the dockee and the docking host to utilize such a docking profile. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.

  • Data redirection for universal serial bus devices
    Patent number: 8832328
    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.
