Abstract

Embodiments of the invention are related to systems and methods for a docking station that wirelessly connects to a mobile device, facilitates charging the mobile device, and enables the mobile device to interact with a virtual desktop infrastructure.

First claim

1 - 20 . (canceled)

21 . A docking station, comprising:
a communication interface to wirelessly communicate with a mobile device; a peripheral interface to provide access to at least one peripheral device; an authentication interface to provide at least two layers of authentication for a user of the mobile device; and a processor to facilitate a connection of the mobile device to a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) environment on a remote computer providing interaction with the VDI environment using the mobile device.

22 . The docking station of claim 21 , wherein one layer of authentication includes a biometric sensor.

23 . The docking station of claim 21 , wherein one layer of authentication includes a smart token reader.

24 . The docking station of claim 21 , wherein the at least two layers of authentication includes a biometric sensor and a smart token reader.

25 . The docking station of claim 21 , wherein authentication of the user of the mobile device includes communicating with an outside computer.

26 . The docking station of claim 21 , wherein the communication interface is configured to communicate with a plurality of mobile devices; and
wherein the docking station further comprises a selection device to select a primary mobile device to wirelessly connect to the docking station.

27 . The docking station of claim 21 , wherein the at least one peripheral device is a three dimensional (3-D) display device.

28 . The docking station of claim 27 , wherein the 3-D display device to display the VDI environment.

29 . The docking station of claim 21 , wherein the docking station connects to an automobile and the mobile device is used to control at least one functionality of the automobile.

30 . A method for providing a docking station, comprising:
wirelessly communicating a the mobile device; providing access to at least one peripheral device; performing a first layer of authentication for a user of the mobile device; upon successful completion of the first layer of authentication, performing a second layer of authentication for the user of the mobile device; and upon successful completion of the second layer of authentication, connecting the mobile device to a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) environment on a remote computer providing interaction with the VDI environment using the mobile device.

31 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the first layer of authentication uses biometric data of the user.

32 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the second layer of authentication uses a smart token.

33 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the first layer of authentication uses biometric data of the user and the second layer of authentication uses a smart token.

34 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the first layer or second layer of authentication includes communicating with an outside computer.

35 . The method of claim 10 , further comprising:
from a plurality of mobile devices, selecting a primary mobile device to wirelessly communicate with the docking station.

36 . The method of claim 10 , further comprising:
displaying the VDI environment in 3-D.

37 . The method of claim 10 , further comprising:
connecting the mobile device to an automobile; and using the mobile device, controlling at least one functionality of the automobile.

38 . A docking station, comprising:
means for wirelessly communicating with a mobile device; means for providing access to at least one peripheral device; means for authenticating a user of the mobile device using at least two layers of authentication; and means for connecting the mobile device to a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) environment on a remote computer providing interaction with the VDI environment using the mobile device.

39 . The docking station of claim 38 , further comprising:
means for displaying the VDI environment in 3-D.

40 . The docking station of claim 38 , further comprising:
means for connecting the docking station to an automobile for the mobile device to control at least one functionality of the automobile.
