Wireless Communication with a Dock
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- determining with a mobile computing device that the mobile computing device has physically paired with a docking system;
automatically establishing, in response to said determining that the mobile computing device has physically paired with the docking system, wireless communication between the mobile computing device and the docking system; and
transmitting, by the mobile computing device and to the docking system as part of the wireless communication, data that encodes an audio signal, so as to cause speakers of the docking system to audibly output the audio signal from the mobile computing device.

Abstract
In general, the subject matter described in this specification can be embodied in methods, system and program products. A mobile computing device determines that the mobile computing device has physically paired with a docking system. Wireless communication between the mobile computing device and the docking system is automatically established in response to said determining that the mobile computing device has physically paired with the docking system. Data that encodes an audio signal is transmitted, by the mobile computing device and to the docking system as part of the wireless communication, so as to cause speakers of the docking system to audibly output the audio signal from the mobile computing device.

19. A computer-implemented method comprising:
-
determining with a mobile computing device that the mobile computing device has physically paired with a docking system; establishing, in response to said determining that the mobile computing device has physically paired with the docking system, wireless communication between the mobile computing device and the docking system; transmitting, by the mobile computing device and to the docking system as part of the wireless communication, data that encodes an audio signal, so as to cause speakers of the docking system to audibly output the audio signal; determining that the mobile computing device is no longer paired with the docking system; and maintaining the wireless communication between the mobile computing device and the docking system while the mobile computing device is no longer paired with the docking system so as to continue the transmission of the data that encodes the audio signal and the audible output of the audio signal.
