TECHNIQUES FOR UTILIZING A COMPUTER INPUT DEVICE WITH MULTIPLE COMPUTERS

摘要

A method includes analyzing data associated with an image captured by a camera to determine a visual orientation and/or eye gaze movement of a user of a computer. Upon detecting that the visual orientation indicates that the user is visually oriented toward a display device associated with the computer, a wireless connection from the computer to a computer input device and from the computer input device to the computer is established or maintained. Upon detecting that the visual orientation indicates that the user is not visually oriented toward the display device associated with the computer, the wireless connection is terminated. Another method accomplishes similar objectives using proximity sensors.
