Benefits of technology

The patent text describes a wireless docking system for handheld devices that allows them to connect with peripheral devices without the need for a physical connection. The system uses ultra-wideband (UWB) technology to create a wireless interconnect bus. The technical effects of this system include improved performance of the handheld device, reduced latency, and better user experience. The text also describes the architecture of the handheld device and the wireless docking station, as well as the process of connecting the handheld device to the docking station. Overall, the patent text presents a solution to overcome the limitations of previous wireless docking systems.

Problems solved by technology

Unlike desktops or portable computers, hand-held devices and other wireless communication devices typically fail to include a keyboard, a large display, a mouse, a printer, or any other peripheral.
In some instances such peripherals do exist but are either cumbersome or too small for effective use.

Abstract

A wireless communication system for enabling a wireless connection between a computing device and a plurality of peripheral devices is provided. The system comprises a first wireless transceiver connected to a host bridge, wherein the host bridge is coupled to a central processing unit of the computing device; and a wireless docketing apparatus that communicates with the host bridge over a wireless interconnect bus, wherein the wireless docketing apparatus is coupled to a plurality of peripheral devices, thereby enabling the wireless connection between the computing device and the plurality of peripheral devices.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a continuation of a U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11 / 964,715 filed on Dec. 27, 2007, now allowed, which claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60 / 950,691, filed on Jul. 19, 2007, U.S. Provisional Application No. 60 / 938,190 filed May 16, 2007, and U.S. Provisional Application No. 60 / 889,379 filed Feb. 12, 2007. The contents of which are herein incorporated by reference.TECHNICAL FIELD[0002]The invention relates generally to peripheral component interconnect buses, and more particularly to interconnect buses over a wireless medium.BACKGROUND[0003]As technology has evolved the functionality of mobile devices, such as laptops computers, cellular phones, personal digital assistants (PDAs), and media players, has become correspondingly more robust. Such devices now offer capabilities that were once the exclusive domain of personal computers (PCs). In fact, some of these mobile devices now resemble small, l...
