Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for context-based docking of an IHS (Information Handling System) that includes a heterogeneous computing platform. In an illustrative, non-limiting embodiment, an IHS may include a processor and a memory coupled to the processor, the memory having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by the processor, cause the IHS to: detect a docking station in proximity to the IHS based on a wireless signal generated by the docking station; determine context information for the proximity of the IHS to the docking station, wherein the context information comprises a strength of the wireless signal of the docking station and further comprises movement of the IHS; infer whether the user intends to dock the IHS based on the determined context for the proximity of the IHS to the docking station; and couple the IHS to the docking station in response to the inferred intent.
