Abstract
Examples are disclosed for techniques for wireless docking. According to some embodiments, a mobile device may scan for an available docking device, for example a device with one or more I/O devices such as a large display. The mobile device may automatically establish a secure wireless link with the device, for example if the docking device is known to the mobile device. However, I/O services are not activated. Instead, the docking device will prompt a user for identification data. If the identification data passes verification, the I/O services may be activated. According to some embodiments, the identification data obtained by the docking device may also be used to wake and/or login to the mobile device, unlocking the mobile device for user access.
