ACCESS CONTROL FOR WIRELESS DOCKING
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving, by a wireless docking center (WDC) and from a wireless dockee (WD), a request to access one or more peripheral functions (PFs) associated with the WDC;
receiving, by the WDC and from the WD, one or more authentication credentials;
determining, by the WDC, whether or not the one or more authentication credentials received from the WD grant access to the one or more PFs to which the WD requests access; and
in response to determining that the one or more authentication credentials grant access to a first PF of the one or more PFs to which the WD requests access, permitting, by the WDC, the WD to access the first PF.

Abstract
In one example, a method includes receiving, by a wireless docking center (WDC) and from a wireless dockee (WD), a request to access one or more peripheral functions (PFs) associated with the WDC, and receiving, by the WDC and from the WD, one or more authentication credentials. In this example, the method also includes determining, by the WDC, whether or not the one or more authentication credentials received from the WD grant access to the one or more PFs to which the WD requests access. In this example, the method also includes permitting, by the WDC, the WD to access a first PF of the one or more PFs to which the WD requests access in response to determining that the one or more authentication credentials grant access to the first PF.

13. A method comprising:
-
sending, by a wireless dockee (WD) and to a wireless docking center (WDC), a request to access one or more peripheral functions (PFs) associated with the WDC; sending, by the WD and to the WDC, one or more authentication credentials; determining, by the WD, whether or not the one or more authentication credentials sent to the WDC grant access to the one or more PFs to which the WD requests access; and in response to determining that the one or more authentication credentials grant access to a first PF of the one or more PFs to which the WD requests access, accessing, by the WD, the first PF. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15)
