SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DISCOVERING AND UTILIZING WIRELESS COMMUNICATION PROTOCOLS FOR ACCESSING SERVICES BY WI-FI DEVICES

摘要

Abstract Certain embodiments herein relate to discovering and utilizing wireless communication protocols for accessing services. A wireless device may discover services provided by other devices, such as a docking system, a host device, a peripheral device, etc., to determine whether such devices support a protocol or service desired by a user of the user device. For example, a user may desire to print, display, store, or output audibly the contents of a file using a wireless USB protocol service, such as the Media Agnostic USB (MA USB) protocol service. To discover devices that support such a service, the device may generate and send a discovery request using the Wi-Fi Direct Services (WFDS) Application Service Platform (ASP) coordination protocol. In certain embodiments herein, the ASP coordination protocol may be modified to include certain information associated with the wireless USB protocol and/or other services desired by the user.
