SEAMLESS CONNECTIVITY BETWEEN HEARING AID AND MULTIPLE DEVICES

摘要

A method for controlling a peripheral from a group of computing devices is provided. The method sets up a group of computing devices for providing media content and control settings to a peripheral device such as a hearing aid. The computing devices in the group are interconnected by a network and exchange data with each other regarding the peripheral. A master device in the group is directly paired with the peripheral device and can use the pairing connection to provide media content or to apply the control settings to the peripheral device. The peripheral device is paired with only the master devices of the group. A slave device can request to directly pair with the peripheral device and become the master device in order to provide media content to the peripheral.

主权项

1. A method comprising:
at a first device, receiving a pairing information that was previously used by a second device to pair with a peripheral device to supply media content from the second device to the peripheral device wirelessly; and using the received pairing information to pair the first device with the peripheral device in order to supply media content from the first device to the peripheral device wirelessly.
