Systems and methods switch interactive devices wirelessly connected with a first computer to wireles sly connect to a second computer when one of the interactive devices is switched to interact with the second computer. The interactive devices may be a keyboard, a mouse, a printer or a display device. An interactive devices that has an active connection to a first computer, to wireles sly provide the first computer interactive user information input into the interactive device, or to wirelessly receive output data from the first computer, may generate and transmit a data packet that includes information of the interactive device, the computing device the interactive devices is actively connected to, and any standby devices the interactive devices is communicating with. When the interactive devices is switched to the second computer, the interactive devices may generate another data packet indicting the new active computing device and standby devices, for example, previous active devices. |

1. A system for switching wireless connections of a plurality of interactive devices from a first computing device to at least a second computing device, comprising:
a first interactive device, comprising:
a memory unit configured to store information identifying active and standby computing devices;a wireless transmitter and receiver operationally coupled to the memory unit;an interface configured to receive user input signaling to switch the interactive device from providing interactive input from a first computing device to a second computing device; anda processor coupled to the memory unit, the processor configured to retrieve the information identifying active and standby computing devices from the memory unit, generate a data packet that includes specific information of the first interactive device, address information of an active computing device and address of one or more standby computing devices, and information indicating which of the standby devices was more recently connected to the first interactive device, and to wirelessly transmit the data packet using the transmitter. |
