    Abstract: A novel docking process introduces a new handshake scheme between a first device (referred to herein as the “Dockee”) and a docking device (referred to simply as the “Dock”) to communicate a user's intention to connect the Dockee and the Dock (i.e., dock the Dockee to the Dock). The handshake consists of two steps: 1) establish a connection over a near field communication (NFC) link to convey information about the docking event; and 2) establish a second connection over the Wireless Channel to connect the Dockee and the Dock. The first step delivers a one-time secure connection token to the Dock over the NFC channel. Further, the presence of the NFC channel establishes the physical proximity of the user to the Dock. During step 2, a new Information Element is introduced to deliver the token back to the Dockee to allow for authentication and “closure” of the handshake.
