Patent ID: 8224969

Claim:
A peripheral device for use in a wireless bus system of one host device among a plurality of host devices, the peripheral device comprising: means for capturing an image; a wireless communication interface configured to connect the peripheral device to one bus system of one host device, the one bus system made up of only the one host device and at least one peripheral device; a display; a user interface; a storage device configured to store information relating to each host device; and a control unit, wherein the control unit is configured to: i) control the wireless communication interface between the peripheral device and each of the plurality of host devices to automatically perform enumeration and determine which host devices are available to construct the bus system with the peripheral device, and store information of the determined host devices in the storage device if it is not stored in the storage device, ii) indicate information relating to the availability of the plurality of host devices on the display, iii) select one of the host devices with the user interface, iv) capture an image with the means for capturing controlled by a device driver software installed in the selected host device, v) send the captured image to the selected host device using the wireless communication interface, vi) disconnecting the selected host device and the peripheral device after the captured image is sent to the selected host, and vii) continually performing enumeration and determining which host devices are available to construct the bus system with the peripheral device, wherein priority to perform enumeration is given to a host device whose information is not stored in the storage device.
