Abstract

A computer system includes a receiver configured to pair with a set of peripheral devices and have active connections with a first subset of the peripheral devices and inactive connections with a second subset of the peripheral devices. The first and the second subsets of peripheral devices are subsets of the set of peripheral devices. If a select one of the peripheral devices in the inactive set of peripheral devices is operated, the receiver is configured to activate a connection with the select one of the peripheral devices in a latency period that is below human perception levels of the latency period.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
receiving, by a computer, an input for placing a first receiver in a pairing mode, wherein the first receiver is configured to pair with a first peripheral device when the first receiver and first peripheral device are both in a pairing mode of operation, and wherein the first receiver is communicatively coupled to the computer;
placing the first receiver in a pairing mode;
receiving an input from the first perip…
