Abstract:
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 peripheral device indicating that the first peripheral device is in the pairing mode; pairing the first receiver with the first peripheral device; detecting, by the computer, a second receiver communicatively coupled to the computer, the second receiver being paired with a second peripheral device; in response to receiving instructions to pair the second peripheral device with the first receiver: placing the first receiver in the pairing mode; receiving an input from the second peripheral device indicating that the second peripheral device is in the pairing mode; and pairing the first receiver with the second peripheral device; and in response to receiving instructions to not pair the second peripheral device with the first receiver: maintaining the pairing of the first peripheral device to the first receiver; and maintaining the pairing of the second peripheral device to the second receiver.
