Automatic wireless docking system
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.
