Following specific descriptions have usually been set forth various device pairing structure and technology, are that the pairing main process equipment shifts then, are that the pairing main process equipment is selected at last.These general themes are more specifically described below.
The equipment pairing
At first with reference to Figure 1A, show the exemplary wireless system with main process equipment and two accessory devices with front view (FV).Wireless system 10 can comprise main process equipment 20, and it for example can be desk-top computer or various other possible main process equipment.Can comprise by the Wireless Keyboard 30 of wireless connections or link 50 pairings and the wireless mouse 40 that matches by wireless connections or link 52 with the various accessory devices of main process equipment 20 pairings.Understand other wireless accessory device easily and also can match with main process equipment 20 simultaneously, and the wireless accessory device of other type can be used.In one embodiment, wireless connections can be that local bluetooth connects, although similarly, the wireless connections of other type also can be used.
As mentioned above, Radio Link 50,52 can by standard match process accessory device 30,40 and main process equipment 20 between set up.Such pairing process is generally each Radio Link 50,52 and produces unique link key.Suppose successfully pairing between wireless host device and wireless accessory device, afterwards, can between wireless host device and wireless accessory device, carry out the data transmission with safety and controlled way by using the link key of in the matching operation process, setting up.When matching, accessory device 30,40 is usually only in response to main process equipment 20.Therefore, if accessory device 30,40 near other main process equipment of existence, then accessory device is understood the radio communication will ignore from other such main process equipment.On the contrary, after separating pairing, accessory device 30,40 can be in response near any compatible mainframe equipment.Main process equipment 20 also can match with the accessory device more than usually.
Proceed to Figure 1B, the example wireless main process equipment of Figure 1A and wireless accessory device illustrate in the mode of block diagram.Again, wireless system 10 can comprise main process equipment 20 and wireless accessory device 30.Wireless accessory device can comprise processor or controller 31 and power supply, and for example battery 32.The user who is coupled to controller 31 imports 33 and can be suitable for helping and the main process equipment pairing, and the existence of user's input of even now is not all to be necessary in all cases.For example, the user imports 33 and can comprise the button that makes the user accessory device 30 can be placed pairing mode.Storer 34 also can be coupled to controller 31 and for the various elements that are associated with accessory device provide the persistant data storage, comprise program code, identifier, data structure etc.In addition, accessory device 30 comprises transceiver 35.In one embodiment, transceiver 35 is radio frequency (RF) transceivers.Transceiver 35 can be exported the wireless transmit of for example pointing to main process equipment 20 by link 50.
Again, it in fact only is exemplary understanding above-mentioned details easily, and is used for many layouts of wireless device and pairing thereof and disposes also can being used.For example, main process equipment can be laptop computer, flat computer or game console, and accessory device can be the Any user input equipment, for example wireless operating bar or other game console.In addition, main process equipment can be an equipment in the device network, and for example LAN or WAN comprise on the Internet.In some cases, a plurality of main process equipments can be connected on the identical LAN or WAN.Other also can be included in the one or both of main process equipment and accessory device, and input also comprises touch-screen and speech recognition, and output also comprises visual displays, loudspeaker, tactile feedback etc.Various forms of user friendly pairings, for example the safe and simple matchmaking protocol of bluetooth v2.1 and other similar agreement can be used.Be used for wireless pairing of accessory device can be used with the various system and methods of setting forth below to any of main process equipment and all these, layout and agreement, this is to understand easily.
The transfer of pairing main process equipment
In many cases, the user can have single cover wireless accessory device, but may wish to use them at two or more different main process equipments.Specific non-limiting example for example, desk-top computer can with Wireless Keyboard and wireless mouse pairing.Display cable can be used to that then bigger desk-top computer is transplanted in the demonstration of laptop computer and handle temporarily.Then the demonstration of laptop computer correctly is reflected on the desktop computer displays.Yet Wireless Keyboard and mouse are still with desk-top computer pairing and be not transferred to laptop computer.The user is forced to use keyboard and the mouse that is built in the laptop computer then, adopt other wireless accessory or peripherals, perhaps remove laptop computer, keyboard and mouse with respect to the existence of desk-top computer and wait for the pairing again of these equipment, more than any all be inconvenient.
So long-range or shift under the display mode, main process equipment can be docking station, mirror image or the slave for another main process equipment effectively.In this specific example, desk-top computer (that is first main process equipment) is remote display or the docking station for laptop computer (that is second main process equipment) effectively.Certainly, relate to many other situations of a plurality of main process equipments and arrange and also be fine, much may all have common problem in them, that is, wish to realize from a main process equipment to another main process equipment, user-friendly and often interim wireless accessory device pairing shift.
Then turn to Fig. 2 A, with front view (FV) illustrate according to an embodiment of the invention have a plurality of main process equipments and with the example system of a plurality of accessory devices of first main process equipment pairing.Be similar to the aforementioned system 10 of Figure 1A, wireless communication system 100 can comprise first main process equipment 120, for example desk-top computer, and one or more accessory device 130,140, for example keyboard and mouse.Wireless Keyboard 130 can match by Radio Link 150 and first main process equipment 120, and wireless mouse 140 can be by Radio Link 152 and the pairing of first main process equipment.In addition, second main process equipment 160, laptop computer for example, can be introduced into first main process equipment 120 and accessory device 130,140 near.Usually, accessory device 130,140 will be ignored second main process equipment 160, because they match with first main process equipment 120.
Yet under specific circumstances, specific " trigger event " can start accessory device 130,140 pairing are transferred to second main process equipment 160 from its current main process equipment 120 automatic processing.An example of such trigger event can comprise for example uses demonstration cable 170 between main process equipment.Therefore, Fig. 2 B shows exemplary main trigger event in the example system of Fig. 2 A with front view (FV).That is, display cable is connected to the port of two main process equipments, thereby is displayed on from the demonstration of second main process equipment 160 on the display of present first main process equipment 120 ' that has changed.Again, introducing hard link such as display cable between main process equipment makes the main process equipment of winning become remote display or docking station for second main process equipment effectively.First main process equipment can be configured such that to its trigger event of introducing display cable 170 and cause itself and wireless accessory device 130,140 pairing to be automatically transferred to present its second main process equipment 160 that is linked to.
With reference now to Fig. 2 C,, shows with front view (FV) similarly and that cause after the exemplary main trigger event of Fig. 2 B arrange with exemplary pairing second main process equipment.Wireless communication system 100 still comprises wireless accessory device 130,140, and the display cable 170 of first main process equipment 120 ' that changes, second main process equipment 160 ' that changes and link main process equipment.Yet different with the existing version shown in Fig. 2 A and the 2B, the wireless accessory device pairing has been transferred to second main process equipment 160 ' of transformation.Main process equipment is converted to so at least degree, that is, first main process equipment 120 ' no longer control accessory device 130,140 or with accessory device 130,140 pairings, and second main process equipment 160 ' and these accessory devices pairings.In addition, at least in this example, first main process equipment is the display for second main process equipment.Wireless Keyboard 130 is therefore by new Radio Link 154 and the 160 ' pairing of second main process equipment, and wireless mouse 140 is by Radio Link 156 and the pairing of second main process equipment.
The main trigger event of even now can be the foundation of the new wired connection between the main process equipment, and for example display cable 170, but the trigger event of many other types can cause the automatic transfer of the pairing of accessory device similarly.For example, between main process equipment, set up the transfer that independent Radio Link also can trigger wireless pairing.In addition, also can be main trigger event along the specific communications between the main process equipment of the communication line of having set up.Other trigger event can comprise that for example simple button is pressed, specific user's gesture, be that preferred another state changes near " higher " priority of the new introducing accessory device or existence or second main process equipment of the expression in first main process equipment of prior main process equipment, and other possibility.
