Automatic Wireless Docking via Motion Intent Detection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional wireless docking systems require manual login, are prone to issues with multiple sink devices attempting to connect, and lack security features to identify user intent, making them inefficient and insecure.
Innovation Solution
An information handling system with a communication subsystem that determines the location and motion of a source device to automatically establish a wireless docking session with the intended sink device, bypassing unnecessary connections and providing enhanced security through intent-based docking.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional wireless docking systems require manual login to establish a docking session, then security is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates due to time-consuming login processes
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by establishing security credentials and user identification before the actual docking session. The authentication data is stored in advance, allowing the system to quickly verify user identity and establish docking sessions without time-consuming manual login processes during actual use.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service by automatically performing authentication and docking establishment without requiring manual user intervention. The source device and sink device automatically exchange authentication data and establish connections based on pre-configured security credentials, eliminating the need for manual login while maintaining security.
2Adaptability or versatility
If conventional wireless docking systems allow multiple sink devices to detect and attempt connection with a source device, then adaptability is improved, but reliability deteriorates due to unwanted connections and connection conflicts
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where the source device receives signals from multiple sink devices but uses authentication data to determine which sink device is authorized to connect. The system provides feedback to reject unauthorized connection attempts and only establishes docking sessions with authenticated sink devices, preventing connection conflicts while maintaining adaptability.
Solution Approach 2:
The system applies preliminary anti-action by pre-configuring authentication data that identifies authorized sink devices before connection attempts occur. This preliminary identification prevents unwanted connections from unauthorized sink devices, eliminating connection conflicts before they can occur while still allowing connections from authorized devices.
3Ease of operation
If conventional wireless docking systems use signal detection to establish connections, then ease of operation is improved, but reliability deteriorates due to lack of user intent identification
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-configuring authentication data that identifies user intent and authorized devices before the docking session is initiated. This preliminary identification of user intent allows the system to automatically establish connections only with authorized sink devices, maintaining ease of operation while improving reliability through intent-based authentication.
Data Source
AI summary
An automatic wireless docking system includes a source device that includes a source device display screen, a display device, and a sink device that is coupled to the display device. The sink device determines a location of the source device and determines a motion of the source device. The sink device then identifies a wireless docking intent of the source device with the sink device based on the location of the source device and the motion of the source device. In response to identifying the wireless docking intent, the sink device establishes a current wireless docking session between the source device and the sink device.
