Multiple user wireless docking
First Claim
1. A host device that is coupled to a first peripheral for rendering Audio and/or Video (AV) data, the host device comprising:
- a host communicator that provides wireless communication with dockee devices comprising at least one primary dockee device and at least one secondary dockee device;
a processor that;
docks the at least one primary dockee device to the host device;
docks the at least one secondary dockee device to the host device;
enables control of the first peripheral to the primary dockee device,wherein the primary dockee device controls the first peripheral to determine the AV data that is rendered by the first peripheral;
enables access to at least part of the AV data by the secondary dockee device;
wherein the secondary dockee device includes an application feature for selecting one of a plurality of signals that are emitted upon receipt of an external event; and
wherein, upon instruction from the primary dockee device, the processor controls the application feature of the secondary dockee device to select the signal that is to be emitted by the secondary dockee device upon receipt of the external event, to control a disturbance level of the secondary dockee device.

Abstract
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.
