Patent ID: 8065462

Claim:
A communication interface for connecting a plurality of wireless USB (WUSB) compatible hosts for data communication with at least one device endpoint in a WUSB environment, said communication interface comprising: host detection means for detecting the presence of two or more active hosts from a plurality of active hosts, host communication means for establishing WUSB connections between a device endpoint and a first active host and between a further active host of the plurality of hosts, and a controller for establishing a connection between a first active host and the device endpoint on a first physical communication channel for data communication therebetween; for detecting the presence of a further active host on a different physical communication channel to said first communication channel while maintaining the connection between said first active host and the device endpoint on said first physical communication channel; and for establishing a connection on said first physical communication channel between said further active host and said device endpoint for data communication therebetween, wherein upon issuance of notifications from said device endpoint to said further active host, said further active host changes channels until connection is established between said further active host and said device endpoint on said first physical communication channel.
