1. A method for wireless docking, the method comprising:

  • performing, by a wireless dockee (WD), a plurality of operations to wirelessly dock with a wireless docking center (WDC) such that the WD may access one or more peripheral functions (PFs) associated with the WDC, wherein each of the one or more PFs comprises a logical input/output function, and wherein the WD comprises;

    one or more processors;

    a docking service executable by the one or more processors;

    an application service platform (ASP) executable by the one or more processors; and

    one or more peripheral services that each correspond to at least one PF of the one or more PFs associated with the WDC,a wireless transceiver;

    a communication layer executable by the one or more processors to communicate with the WDC via the wireless transceiver;

    the method further comprising;

    interfacing, by the docking service and with the ASP, to perform a first subset of the plurality of operations including;

    seeking a corresponding docking service of the WDC;

    determining the one or more PFs associated with the WDC; and

    establishing a docking session via a direct wireless connection between the WD and the WDC; and

    interfacing, by the docking service and with the one or more peripheral services, to perform a second subset of the plurality of operations including;

    triggering a peripheral service of the one or more peripheral services of the WD to use a corresponding peripheral service of the WDC; and

    configuring the peripheral service for use by the WD.
