ABSTRACT:
A docking system and method for establishing secure wireless connection between computer devices is presented. The technique assumes that at least one of the computer devices comprises a portable device. Further, a docking area or docking port is associated with the other computer device. The docking port is sized to at least partially engageably receive the portable device. Means are provided for automatically establishing wireless connection between the portable device and the second device when the portable device is brought within the docking port (or docking area) of the second device. This automatic establishing of wireless connection includes communicating an address identifier between the portable device and the second device once the portable device is "docked." If desired, an encryption key can also be exchanged with the address identifier to allow for encryption of information communicated between the devices. After docking, the first device can be removed from the docking area (or docking port) without affecting the wireless connection between the first device and the second device.
