Embodiment
The present invention relates generally to dispose and be used for the peripherals that uses with computing machine, such as human interface device.More specifically, the invention provides and be configured to the receiver of a plurality of peripherals pairing and be configured to move on computers with software module from the receiver received communication of peripherals, wherein this receiver and software module co-operate, to present communication, make that a plurality of peripherals can be not interfering with each other with compunication to computing machine.
Figure 1A is the rough schematic view of computer system 100 according to an embodiment of the invention.This computer system comprises portable computer 110 and unified receiver 120.Portable computer 110 can comprise one or more machine readable media 110a (referring to Figure 1B), such as hard disk drive, CD drive, solid-state memory etc., the computer code of each embodiment can be stored on this machine readable media according to the present invention.Portable computer can have one or more be configured to carry out (for example be stored on the machine readable media computer code 110c, the following enumerator software of Xiang Ximiaoshuing) processor 110b (referring to Figure 1B) is to influence each computer approach embodiment of the present invention.Unified receiver is less relatively and be configured to be inserted in the portable computer, and stays in the portable computer to be used for transportation and to be used for using in various places.Less relatively unified receiver can influence the portability of portable computer sharply.For example, unifying receiver can be from the connector on the portable computer outstanding about 8 millimeters or still less.Therefore, unified receiver can be inserted in the connector on the portable computer, and " passing out of mind " therefore do not need to remove to be used for transportation from portable computer because unified receiver outstanding can influence the transportation of portable computer sharply.This can be known as use " insert and forget " notion.As mentioned here, receiver can be configured to send and receive radio communication.
Unified receiver is USB (universal serial bus) (USB) receiver according to an embodiment of the invention.That is to say that unified receiver is configured to communicate by letter with portable computer via usb protocol.
According to one embodiment of present invention, unified receiver is configured to make it to match with reaching six peripherals (such as human interface device (HID)), such as keyboard 130a, mouse 130b, keyboard 130c, mouse 130d, keypad 130e and mouse 130f.The remainder of instructions goes through HID, but can be applied to more other peripherals of width variety equally to quoting of HID.The USB receiver can have the machine readable memory that is used to remember pairing and is used to handle pairing etc. and steering logic (for example, microcontroller etc.).But according to alternative embodiment, unified receiver can be configured to and match more than six HID.HID can be positioned at multiple place, makes portable computer can be transported to the residing various places of HID and uses with unified receiver being used for.For example, the user's portable computer that may want to transport her uses in following place being used for: i) in family that keyboard 130a and mouse 130b are positioned at; The ii) office (for example, workplace) that is positioned at of keyboard 130c and mouse 130d; And iii) various conveyings place, wherein keyboard 130e and mouse 130f can betransported in briefcase, knapsack etc.The concrete HID that will be appreciated that given place can change.For example, at home, the user can use tracking ball to replace mouse, and perhaps in conveying, she can use disk (puck) and keypad, and does not use mouse.According to an embodiment, for the user of home computer, office computer etc., many users can make its HID and single unified receiver pairing.For example, children can have child-sized or children special-purpose and with the HID set of unified receiver pairing, father and mother can have the HID set of standard size or father and mother's special use, and these HID also with unified receiver pairing.Single usage example has more than been described.Those skilled in the art will recognize other usage example of the present invention.
Use is used for the conventional wireless techniques of the communication between HID and the computing machine, and special-purpose receiver (for example, special-purpose USB receiver) has the special use pairing with the set of a mouse, keyboard or a keyboard and a mouse usually.As understanding in this area, pairing comprises following process: wherein HID and receiver are configured to discern each other to be used for carrying out betwixt radio communication.Special-purpose pairing generally refers to following process: one of them or may two HID and receiver discern each other being used for radio communication, but can not discern other HID or receiver to be used for radio communication.
If the user wants to connect a plurality of HID or from the mixing HID of the HID of different sets, then the user generally will hold the dedicated receiver of the connector (for example, USB port) on some computing machines that are attached to her.Because available connector quantity is limited on the portable computer, and the quantity of the HID that uses along with the user increases, and these dedicated receivers are easy to take most or all connectors.The embodiment of the invention that comprises unified receiver partly is developed being used for single USB receiver support six wireless HID nearly, and solves the problem that the connector on the portable computer is taken.Usually, if all connectors on the portable computer are taken, and new HID will use with computing machine, then needs each dedicated receiver to disconnect according to the employed various HID of user and connects and reconnect.
Embodiments of the invention provide such function, and the user can match with unified receiver by the wireless HID with her and make up customization wireless network (for example, Star Network).Usually, if wireless device (for example, bluetooth earphone) and receiver (for example, having the mobile phone of bluetooth capability) pairing then require the user action of equipment side to come " release " equipment and allow it and the receiver pairing usually.Many wireless devices comprise the button that is exclusively used in pairing mandate and pairing activation.Many wireless devices also comprise shutoff/unlatching switch, preserve the energy content of battery when being used for long-distance travel in the bag to be installed in when equipment is not used than long duration or at wireless device.
Fig. 2 is the rough schematic view that can be arranged in the slide switch 200 on the HID according to an embodiment of the invention.Slide switch is configured to switch on and off the power supply of HID, and opens and select the period (for example, less than one second), selects in the period at this, and HID can be authorized to beginning and unified receiver pairing.That is to say that in order to activate the pairing mode on the HID, slide switch moves to " unlatching " from " shutoff ", if perhaps HID opens, slide switch moves to " shutoff " from " unlatching " and moves to " unlatching " more so.Pairing mode is the operator scheme of unified receiver and/or HID, and unified receiver and HID can match mutually under this pattern.If unified receiver and HID pairing, then unified receiver and HID will discern each other, to communicate between it to be used to control laptop computer.
Because two different functions (power supply and pairing) are started by the single slide switch that switches to " unlatching " from " shutoff ", the accident pairing when the available choose opportunities of therefore will matching becomes to avoid HID to connect.Therefore, when slide switch was configured to " unlatching ", HID at first attempted (about one second) and reconnects to the unified receiver that HID is connected at last.If can reconnecting to this, HID unifies receiver, then the unified receiver energising of this expression and nearby.In this case, because the hypothesis user does not want to set up new pairing, so HID does not enter pairing mode.
If reconnect failure, then last unified receiver of matching with it of this expression HID is not switched on, perhaps not nearby.In this case, HID enters pairing mode, to set up new pairing with different unified receivers.HID can enter about 500 milliseconds or still less of pairing mode.Discerned by HID during this time window if be in the unified receiver of pairing mode, then HID and this are unified the receiver pairing and are withdrawed from pairing mode.The new pairing of HID rewrites previous any pairing, means that HID only can match with a receiver at every turn.HID can comprise and being used for and communication facilities that unified receiver is communicated by letter.Communication facilities can comprise processor and receiver, and it is configured to by processor control to be used for and to unify receiver and communicate by letter.Processor and receiver can be configured to separately or co-operate switches to the slide switch of unlatching and carries out discussed above reconnecting and pairing step from shutoff to detect.
If HID will match with wireless receiver, then also require the user action on the receiver to match usually to authorize receiver and HID.Some receivers based on other radiotelegraphy (for example, 27 megahertz technology, patent 2.4 kilo-mega cycles per second technology etc.) comprise the button that is pressed and matches to authorize.Because the less relatively form factors of unified receiver, if therefore unified receiver is inserted in the connector on the portable computer or between two USB cables, memory stick etc., then the user will be difficult to reach the connection button.Therefore, the pairing of unified receiver activates by software application control, and this software application is stored on the computer-readable medium of portable computer, and is carried out by the processor of portable computer.For convenience's sake, this software application is known as " connection utility routine " software here.This connection utility routine software can be included in to be enumerated in the software.
Connect utility routine software and be configured to provide user interface (for example, graphical user interface), thereby: i) impel subscriber authorisation to unify the pairing of receiver and HID; Perhaps ii) when connection utility routine software begins, will unify receiver automatically and place pairing mode.That is to say, connect utility routine software and can be configured to guide the processor of portable computer to send order to enter pairing mode to unified receiver.Usually, unify receiver and before HID enters pairing mode, enter pairing mode.In case authorized pairing, then unified receiver can keep authorizing a period of time, such as 30 to 60 seconds, makes the user authorize the pairing of HID if having time.That is to say that the user will be given the sufficient time and read by connecting any on-screen message that utility routine software is presented to the user, and after this will have the sufficient time and locate slide switch, and slide switch is slided into " unlatching " from " shutoff ".If the HID that is in pairing mode is by unified receiver identification, then unified receiver and this HID match, and withdraw from pairing mode then.
According to an embodiment, connect utility routine software and be configured to show GUI, with the indication user slide switch on the HID is slided into " unlatching " from " shutoff ", thereby authorize the pairing between unified receiver and the HID.Fig. 3 A is the GUI that simplifies, and it can be under the control that connects utility routine software and be presented on the portable computer.This GUI is configured to guide the user that slide switch is slided into " unlatching " from " shutoff ".Fig. 3 B is the GUI that simplifies, and it can be presented on the portable computer under the control that connects utility routine software, has detected user HID (for example, mouse M700rc) to notify the user to unify receiver.Be authorized to all at unified receiver and HID that afterwards, these equipment can be carried out the pairing process with (that is, all being in pairing mode) paired with each other.Those skilled in the art becomes known for carrying out the step of pairing process, and will be not in this description.Fig. 3 C is the GUI that simplifies, and it can be under the control that connects utility routine software and be presented on the portable computer to notify the user successful matching.If pairing is unsuccessful, but then can show alternative GUI.
According to an embodiment, whether connection utility routine software is configured to detect a plurality of unified receivers and is inserted in the USB port of portable computer.If a plurality of unified receivers are inserted in the USB port, then connect utility routine software and can be configured to guide the user to carry out the pairing process, make and all match with one of unified receiver at two HID set of two unified receivers.For example, connecting utility routine software can be via GUI (for example, Fig. 4 A) notifies two unified receivers of user to be inserted into USB port, and can import with the indication user to user's requesting computer and want to make feasible two the HID set of this connection utility routine software all only to match with one of unified receiver at two unified receivers.If the option that the user has selected to make two HID set all to match with a unified receiver, then this connection utility routine software is configured to control portable computer demonstration GUI, for example, thereby guides the user to carry out this pairing process.For example, all match, connect the bootable user of utility routine software and remove one of unified receiver from the USB port that it connected with one of unified receiver in order to make two HID set.For example, referring to the GUI shown in Fig. 4 B, wherein this GUI guiding user removes one of unified receiver.Then, the bootable processor of connection utility routine software places the acceptance pairing with the unified receiver of remaining connection.Connect utility routine software and can be configured to guide of the slide switch set of user's (for example) pilot pin, and the slide switch set is switched to unlatching from shutoff, to accept pairing at this HID set to this HID set via GUI, referring to Fig. 4 C.GUI subsequently shown in Fig. 4 D can notify user's successful matching.As the result of pairing, two HID set are matched with a unified receiver.Connect utility routine software and can be configured to make that another GUI is presented on the portable computer, notify all HID in two HID set of user all to match with unified receiver.For example, referring to Fig. 4 E.
According to one embodiment of present invention, connect utility routine software and be configured to provide " instrument panel " utility routine, should be configured to provide the controlled option of a plurality of users to be used for the HID of leading subscriber by " instrument panel " utility routine via portable computer.Connect utility routine software and can be configured in instrument panel GUI, present the controlled option of user.Fig. 5 is the rough schematic view of the instrument panel GUI 500 of instrument panel utility routine according to an embodiment of the invention.Instrument panel GUI 500 comprises the unified receiver indications set 510 at the unified receiver set of being coupled to portable computer.Here employed " set " comprises one or more elements.For example, unify the receiver set and comprise one or more unified receivers.According to the example of being considered, instrument panel GUI two unified receiver 510a of 500 signs and 510b shown in Fig. 5 are coupled to the portable computer USB port.
According to an embodiment, for example, if detect two unified receivers and portable computer coupling, then the instrument panel utility routine is configured to provide user-selectable options, is used for HID and given unified receiver pairing.More than describe this pairing in detail.The instrument panel utility routine also can be configured to provide user-selectable options, is used for HID is separated pairing from unified receiver.The instrument panel utility routine also can be configured to provide user-selectable options, and the firmware that is used for upgrading is loaded into user HID and unified receiver from the website.Each user-selectable options can be rendered as button screen, drop-down menu, floating menu etc. on instrument panel GUI 500.
As described briefly above, the instrument panel utility routine be configured to present (for example, on instrument panel GUI 500) at the HID indications of the HID of unified receiver pairing, this is unified receiver and is coupled to portable computer.According to an embodiment, show on HID indications that the instrument panel utility routine is presented and the shell of HID that the HID indications of (for example, printing) is identical.For example, on the HID indications M505 of the mouse of unified receiver 510a pairing or shell that B605 is printed on mouse, such as bottom at mouse.Therefore, the user can discern her which HID and unified receiver pairing relatively apace.According to an embodiment, each HID is configured to store its HID indications.During matching or afterwards, each HID is configured to its HID indications is offered the connection software utility that moves on portable computer.The HID indications is offered the needs that the connection software utility has been got rid of look-up table from HID, and this look-up table is provided to be used for connecting the HID indications of software utility or other utility routine.In addition, provide the HID indications to allow manufacturer to send new HID in HID, it can identify their HID indications to portable computer, thereby need not create new HID indications tabulation and it is distributed to the user when new HID can be used for selling.
According to another embodiment of the present invention, the instrument panel utility routine is configured to provide " the use indications " of current HID by user's operation.Use indications 540 has been shown in GUI 500 to be in use to indicate current which user HID to the user.Use indications to be shown by key, rolling mouse on the keyboard of for example depressing with unified receiver pairing, after pushing keypad button etc. the user, thus the input of generation from HID to the portable computer.The concrete advantage that the demonstration of use indications provides is: if the user has two identical HID with identical HID indications, then the user can operate one of HID (referring to the use indications among the GUI 500), and knows which HID is corresponding to the HID indications that shows among the GUI 500.If two identical HID and the different unified receiver pairing of using together with portable computer then use the demonstration of indications that extra utility routine is provided.
As discussed above, nearly six HID can match with unified according to an embodiment of the invention receiver.But according to alternative embodiment, more or HID still less can match with unified receiver.That is to say that the operating system (OS) that six HID can be exposed to portable computer is therewith used being used for.One embodiment of the present of invention comprise that enumerator software 110c is (referring to Figure 1B, wherein 110c specifies the computer code of all embodiment of the present invention), enumerating software 110c is configured to be stored on the computer-readable medium of portable computer, and the operation of the processor of control portable computer, make a plurality of (for example, nearly 6) HID can be exposed to OS, and feasible nearly all control function of 6 HID for example can be used with portable computer.Control function comprises that following function: HID is configured to carry out the various aspects of this function with the control portable computer, such as controlling cursor, " press " button screen by pressing mouse button, come string of input alphabet, numeral etc. or the like by the key by lower keyboard by rolling mouse.Enumerator software is between the OS and unified receiver of portable computer.That is to say that the order that enumerator software intercepting is sent at OS by unified receiver, and should order and suitably be delivered to OS makes all control function of available portable computer use HID.Enumerator software also intercepts the order of being sent at unified receiver by OS, and these orders suitably are delivered to unified receiver.
In order to help to understand the method for operating of the enumerator software on the portable computer, the method for operating of the portable computer that does not have enumerator software will be described at first.Fig. 6 is the figure that simplifies the operation of the function software 600 of portable computer, and this portable computer is with unified receiver 120 and HID set 130 operations.If use unified receiver under the situation of not enumerating software, then unified receiver is supported a keyboard and the needed HID collection of a mouse (that is, a no more than keyboard and a no more than mouse) to the OS statement.Because each HID collection only is declared once, therefore the similar report from different HID is merged the OS that is forwarded to the use same set.Therefore, software can't be distinguished the similar report of the different HID (for example, two keyboards) from same type.Therefore, OS can not be applied to different settings the different HID of same type.For example, if two mouses are connected to same receiver, then can not specify different acceleration curves for each mouse.If this especially bothers when one of two " mouses " are actually touch pad.Be noted that especially those skilled in the art understands HID collection, HID report etc. fully, and will no longer describe at this.
Fig. 7 is the application drawing with the simplification of the OS 600 of the portable computer of enumerator software 700, unified receiver 120 and HID set 130 operations.According to an embodiment, enumerator software is configured to allow OS in the quantity of the collection that restriction (for example minimizing) exposes to the open air OS, and individual processing is from the report of each HID.Under the situation that does not have enumerator software, even be under the situation of for example simple mouse at the unique HID that uses with unified receiver, unified receiver still needs OS is exposed to the open air more than 30 collection basically constantly.This relatively large collection quantity will need very long enumerating the time (this time comprises the time that is used to install the software of supporting HID), and will create the confusion tabulation of HID in the Windows equipment manager, thereby may cause the system stability problem.
When for carrying out on portable computer when starting enumerator software, it is configured to collect tabulations of all HID that match with receiver at present, and the son of collecting all Report Types that each HID supports is tabulated.Based on the tabulation of collected HID and the son tabulation of all Report Types, enumerator software is configured to state to OS the correct number of the HID of the set with suitable HID collection.Be commonly referred to as the enumeration stage (perhaps enumeration operation) of enumerating the software execution to the correct number of OS report HID and the set of appropriate H ID collection.
After enumerator software was finished enumeration stage, enumerator software sent " switching " instruction to unified receiver.After unified receiver received switching command, unified receiver stopped at issue standard HID report on USB interface 0 and 1.The substitute is, unified receiver is configured to add label to all RF reports that enter from HID, and uses enumerator collection 710 (also using alphabetical DJ mark) to transmit the report that has added label to OS on USB interface 2.Below describe by unified receiver and be used for reporting the multiple label that adds label to the RF of input.Enumerator software is configured to use the report that receives from unified receiver these labels to format these reports and to give the appropriate H ID driver that moves at portable computer with these report routes.Because those skilled in the art understands the device driver at HID very much, so will be not described in detail at this, should be noted that just the particular device driver at specific HID makes this specific HID can be allowed to use its all control function relevant with portable computer.Because the received report of enumerator software route, can use its all control function relevant with portable computer at the appropriate H ID driver of each HID.In Fig. 7, use report that arrow 730 pointers from enumerator software to device stack 740a-740f receive each HID route to the driver of HID.
The concise and to the point USB interface of describing.Fig. 8 is the figure of simplification of the USB interface of unified receiver.The functional of enumerator software partly managed via USB interface 2, and USB interface 2 is with different to USB interface 0 and 1.This structure of USB interface makes that enumerator software can be as the independent driver on the portable computer.USB interface 2 (sign 750 among Fig. 7) also is known as the enumerator interface sometimes at this, and it comprises following HID collection and report:
Short HID++ collection: supplier's page 1: use 1
Zero short HID++ reports supplier's page 1: use 1, report id 0x10 (7 byte)
Long HID++ collection: supplier's page 1: use 2
Zero long HID++ reports supplier's page 1: use 2, report id 0x11 (20 byte)
Enumerator collection: supplier's page 1: use 4
Zero short enumerator is reported supplier's page 1: use 0x41, report id 0x20 (15 byte)
Zero long enumerator is reported supplier's page 1: use 0x42, report id 0x21 (32 byte)
The enumerator collection has briefly been described.The enumerator collection is the common user communication channel between enumerator software and the unified receiver.USB does not support variable report size.Therefore, define two kinds of enumerator reports with different sizes.Short enumerator report is defined as transmitting the standard HID report between HID and the enumerator software, and order and notice between unified receiver and the enumerator software.Long enumerator report is defined as transmitting the longer non-standard HID report between HID and the enumerator software.
The report id that illustrates above defines report length according to USB HID report descriptor.The origin of the packet in the HID index indication upstream transmission (HID arrives unified receiver to enumerator software) and the destination of the bag in the downstream transmission (enumerator software is to unified receiver):
0x01 to 0x06: wireless device
Oxff: receiver
Report Type identification meets the type of the useful load of identifier.256 kinds of possible Report Types are organized as following three kinds:
0x00 to 0x3f:HID reports
0x40 to 0x7f: enumerator notice
0x80 to 0xff: enumerator order
If enumerator software on portable computer be enliven (for example, the enumerator pattern of operation on portable computer), then unified receiver is configured to enter report to all from the HID with unified receiver pairing and adds head (header), and transmits these reports via USB interface 2 (enumerator interface) to the enumerator software of carrying out.The enumerator head comprises report id, and report id back is the equipment index.The Report Type that is included in the enumerator report adds the RF Report Type coupling of label with giving all reports of passing through radio signal transmission.
The HID report:
Report Type=0x01: keyboard report
Report Type=0x02: mouse report
Report Type=0x03: user's control
Report Type=0x04: system's control
According to an embodiment, the enumerator order is used to control the operation of unified receiver by enumerator software.The enumerator order also makes enumerator software can retrieve the tabulation of HID of pairing and the son tabulation of the collection supported by each HID.The enumerator order also make enumerator software can be individually with each HID from acquiescence HID mode switch to enumerator pattern.
The enumerator order:
Report Type=0x80: switch to enumerator pattern
Report Type=0x81: obtain the tabulation of paired device
Enumerator notice make unified receiver can: i) pairing incident and the unpaired incident with HID is delivered to enumerator software, and ii) the connection status with HID is delivered to enumerator software, and iii) error condition is delivered to enumerator software.
The enumerator notice:
Report Type=0x40: equipment does not match
Report Type=0x41: equipment pairing
Report Type=0x42: connection status changes
Report Type=0x7F: mistake
Allocated bandwidth is described and with HID and the combined use of unified receiver.Before the specific embodiment of describing allocated bandwidth, provide at the brief background of the RF channel that is used for HID and receiver and describe.Generally speaking, receiver (for example USB receiver) selects idle RF channel communicating thereon, and continue on this RF channel with and the HID of unified receiver pairing communicate.Under optimal conditions, if knowing this receiver, the HID that has data will be transferred to receiver listening to this idle RF channel, then this HID can carry out this transmission relatively quickly.Owing under the optimal conditions, active if external interference source (such as WLAN) becomes, if perhaps the variation in the desktop configure of using HID and receiver causes the strong attenuation of RF channel, then receiver may need to select different RF channels.If receiver has been selected different RF channels, thereby may can successfully transmitting data at it, the HID that then has data will be transferred to receiver give receiver, search receiver on all possible RF channel to before the portable computer.The search of the channel that receiver is being listened to cause usually on the operation of HID and the portable computer to the delay between the answer of this operation.The user may perceive and draws this delay, and may feel horrible.For avoiding this delay, no longer include HID that data will transmit and continue interval transmission with the rule beacon signal (sometimes also be known as and keep active report) that " keeps active " following the RF channel that receiver is listened to, and make the delay minimization that next time needs to transfer data to receiver.Keeping enlivening beacon signal normally has and has the report of imitating load (promptly do not have need carry out order) on portable computer in vain.This is commonly referred to as the active connection of RF, and wherein HID sends data to receiver basically continuously, and perhaps wherein HID sends maintenance and enlivens beacon signal to receiver.
Because what connect that the HID be suspended can not " follow " that receiver listening to enlivens the RF channel,, may cause delay so moved to another RF channel if when the connection at the HID of hang-up need be activated again, unify receiver.Minimum for this delay being remained on basically (can perceive the duration that such as being equal to or less than human user), embodiments of the invention provide the comparatively faster process that reconnects.
Embodiments of the invention are used for 4 communication pipes of the communication between HID and unified receiver.Pipeline is a logic channel of sharing same RF channel.3 HID communication pipes are assigned to active HID and connect.The 4th communication for service pipeline is exclusively used in reconnecting of the HID that is suspended.
If the HID that is suspended detects user behavior (for example the button on the keyboard is pressed), and need reconnect (promptly rebuilding its active connection) to unified receiver, then this HID is configured to via this service pipeline to unified receiver transmission first report.Using the service pipeline to transmit normal report is that implicit expression reconnects request.If the unification receiver receives report on the service pipeline, whether then unified receiver is configured to fox message from the HID that matches.If HID and this are unified the receiver pairing, report issued on USB by then unified receiver and the distributing equipment pipeline is given HID.HID is connected then, and is distributing to all portfolios subsequently of transmission on the equipment pipe of this HID.If report is not the HID from pairing, report that then being abandoned and reconnect request by unified receiver is left in the basket.Should notice that HID is without any need for the information about the equipment pipe of distributing to it.It is the process of " only receiver " that pipeline distributes, and the identification byte of wherein distributing to HID during matching is programmed to the input filter of equipment pipe.Described embodiment avoids transmitting the exchange of the extra-service bag before the first useful report.Therefore, described embodiment makes the delay that will reconnect remain user's subtle amount that arrives usually.
Describe now HID is hung up.If 3 connections at 3 HID enliven, and another HID attempts to reconnect to unified receiver, and then unified receiver is configured to will to enliven one of connection at 3 of one of 3 HID before equipment pipe is distributed to the HID that reconnects and hangs up.To the selection of the HID that will hang up based on from receive last one from institute's elapsed time since the report of this HID.Particularly, having the longest non-HID that enlivens the time period is suspended.Note when determining non-ly when enlivening the time period, do not consider to be used to keep the active bag that connects by what HID sent.
Because the expectation of finishing for connection request again has short delay, should be the action that can carry out relatively quickly so HID is hung up.Receiver is not notified the HID that is placed in hang-up.Therefore, it is the one-side action of unified receiver that HID is hung up, and wherein unified receiver is removed the distribution to equipment pipe.When corresponding HID will recognize unified receiver no longer when confirming from any transmission of HID, HID will enter off-state.The User Activity next time of HID is detected by unified receiver, and this HID will send report and reconnect to cause on the service pipeline.
According to an embodiment, the connection utility routine software that moves on portable computer is configured to HID is gathered and " substituting " unified receiver matches again, and wherein this HID set is once matched with the unified receiver of losing or damage.The unified receiver that substitutes is " blank " normally, and this refers to, and alternative unified receiver does not have and any equipment HID pairing.According to an embodiment, connect the tabulation that utility routine software is configured to the HID that storage (for example, on the machine readable media of portable computer) and given unified receiver match.According to another embodiment,, can be a plurality of HID tabulations of storage with connecting the utility routine software arrangements if for example used a plurality of unified receivers with portable computer.Alternatively, connect utility routine software and can be configured to store a tabulation of unifying whole HID that receiver uses with each, these a plurality of unified receivers use with portable computer.The HID that stored tabulation can comprise for HID and the unified receiver that substitutes being matched again Useful Information.
In pairing process again, according to an embodiment, if in the machine readable memory of portable computer, stored a plurality of HID tabulations, connect utility routine software and can be configured to these a plurality of HID tabulations are presented on the display of portable computer, make the user can select the user to wish a HID tabulation of matching again with the unified receiver that substitutes.But, connect the single tabulation that utility routine software can be configured to show the whole HID that use with the unified receiver that is coupled to portable computer according to an alternative embodiment.Connecting utility routine software can be provided for selecting the user of the specific HID that matches again with the unified receiver that substitutes to select option.But,, then connect utility routine software a demonstration is matched with the unified receiver that is used for and substitute again with this HID that unifies the receiver pairing if used a unified receiver with portable computer according to another alternative embodiment.According to an embodiment, each HID and unified receiver pairing or when unpaired, unify receiver if perhaps HID is moved to another from a unified receiver, unify one or more tabulation of the HID of receiver pairing by the connection utility routine software upgrading on the machine readable memory of portable computer and one or more.
HID is matched again with the unified receiver that substitutes
According to an embodiment, if the unified receiver that substitutes is inserted into the USB port of portable computer, then be configured to place on the display of portable computer, carry out the pairing process again that HID set and the unified receiver that substitutes are matched again with the guiding user matching GUI again at the connection utility routine software that moves on the portable computer.Fig. 9 matches the rough schematic view of example of GUI again, and control utility routine software is presented on the display of portable computer, matches process again to begin to guide the user.Again Pei Dui GUI can be configured to inform that unified receiver that user user will substitute is inserted into the USB port of portable computer.According to an embodiment, portable computer is configured to not match to determine that with any HID this unifies receiver is the unified receiver that substitutes via detecting unified receiver.The local storage that portable computer can be configured to inquire about unified receiver wherein stores the look-up table of information of the HID of pairing with retrieval.If look-up table is empty (for example, not writing down the information of the HID of pairing) basically, then portable computer is configured to determine that this unifies receiver is the unified receiver that substitutes.
Again the GUI that matches can comprise that chart and/or analog do not have HID and the unified receiver pairing that substitutes at present to indicate to the user.Whether the GUI that matches again can be configured to just the user is ready HID set and the unified receiver that substitutes (wherein lose with the initial unified receiver of HID pairing or damage) are matched again and inquire the user.Again the GUI that matches can comprise button screen etc., and by this button, the GUI (thereby connecting utility routine software) that matches again can receive the input from the user, and whether this input indication user is ready HID set and the unified receiver that substitutes are matched again.If the user indicates it to be ready HID set and the unified receiver that substitutes are matched again, then method of matching finishes again.
According to an embodiment, if connecting utility routine software receives via matching the input of GUI from the user again, this is input as the user is ready user's HID set and the unified receiver that substitutes are matched again, then connects utility routine software and shows subsequently and be used to guide the user that each HID and the GUI that the unified receiver that substitutes matches are again gathered.Again Pei Dui process is to similar substantially to the process of the unified receiver pairing that is different from the initial unified receiver that HIP matches with HID.Connect utility routine software and can be configured to show GUI etc., this GUI guiding user is restarted (for example, close then and open) wishes one of HID of matching again with the unified receiver that substitutes to the user selection.Figure 10 is the example of GUI 1000, wherein connecting utility routine software can be configured to be presented on the display of portable computer, restart user " mouse performance MX " (that is, the particular type of mouse) with the guiding user, thereby mouse and the unified receiver that substitutes are matched again.GUI1000 can comprise text and chart, restarts user's HID to help the user.Above-detailed with the concrete details of HID with unified receiver pairing.If HID successfully matches again with the unified receiver that substitutes, then connect utility routine software and can be configured to indicate successful pairing again to the user.For example, connect utility routine software and can be configured to control portable computer demonstration GUI, to indicate successful pairing again.Figure 11 is the example of GUI 1100, and it is indicated successfully pairing and can be displayed on the portable computer.Indicate the GUI of pairing again successfully can comprise button screen (for example " next " button screen) etc., in the HID tabulation, have other HID to match again with the unified receiver that substitutes with indication.If " next " button screen is selected, then connect the pairing again that the bootable user of utility routine software carries out another HID and the unified receiver that substitutes.If all HID of user match with the unified receiver that substitutes again, then connect utility routine software and can be configured to point out that to the user all HID are matched.Figure 12 is example GUI 1200, wherein connects utility routine software and can be configured to be presented on the display of portable computer, all matches again with the unified receiver that substitutes to indicate all HID.GUI 1200 can comprise the tabulation 1205 of all HID that match again with the unified receiver that substitutes.GUI1200 can provide the screen selectable option 1210 of matching at other HID and the unified receiver that substitutes, and can provide at the screen selectable option 1215 that stops the process of matching again.Though the above-mentioned discussion of method of matching again uses GUI to guide the user to match process again, also can use other interface on the portable computer to guide the user to match again, such as text instruction, can listen instruction etc.
Many main (multi-master) equipment
According to each embodiment described above, HID is configured to and single unified receiver pairing.The pairing of HID and single unified receiver is known as " single main " (single master) configuration.In single main configuration, HID in the HID local storage, store unified receiver address with the relevant encryption key of wireless link to the unification receiver.If the HID (in single main configuration) and the second unified receiver pairing, then HID is configured to rewrite with the address of the second unified receiver address of the first unified receiver in local storage, and rewrites the encryption key of the wireless link that is used for the first unified receiver with the encryption key of the wireless link that is used for the second unified receiver.That is, the HID and the first unified receiver " are separated pairing " and are matched with the second unified receiver subsequently.The local storage of HID in single main configuration can be by following table 1 expression.
| The receiver address | Encryption |
| Address # | |
| 1 | |
Table 1
But according to an alternative embodiment of the present invention, HID can match with a plurality of unified receivers.The pairing of HID and a plurality of unified receivers is known as many main configurations.In many main configurations, for example, the first unified receiver can be inserted into the USB port of first portable computer, and the second unified receiver can be inserted into the USB port of second portable computer.With the HID of the first and second unified receivers pairings can be configured to these two unified receivers mutual, and control first and second portable computers the two.Although foregoing example is described the HID with two unified receivers pairings, can match with unified receiver more than two according to the HID of current described embodiment.In addition, each unifies that receiver can be configured to and a plurality of aforesaid HID pairing.
Be configured in local storage, store the address of a plurality of unified receivers that match with HID by the HID of many main configurations, and be configured to the encryption key of the wireless link of the described a plurality of unified receivers of storage in local storage.The local storage of HID in many main configurations can be by following table 2 expressions.
| The receiver address | Encryption key | |

Table 2
According to an alternative embodiment but (disposing the two) according to many master's configurations and single master, configuration/unpaired message (for example address, encryption key, priority etc.) is stored by the software that is located on the portable computer, and can be stored in the storer of portable computer.
According to one embodiment of present invention, unify receiver at each of each and HID pairing priority is set.Based on being provided with at the priority of unifying receiver that HID had with each active time span that is connected of unifying receiver.For example, the unified receiver assigned highest priority (for example 1) that has the connection of nearest time to HID with it.The unified receiver that has the connection of second near time to HID with it distributes time high priority (for example 2).The unified receiver that has the connection of the 3rd near time with it to HID distributes next limit priority (for example 3).The unified receiver that has the connection of time at most to HID with it distributes lowest priority (for example 4).Should understand in many main configurations HID can with match greater or less than 4 unified receivers, and the foregoing description is exemplary.
If the HID in many main configurations has data will be transferred to unified receiver, then this HID is configured to attempt reconnect with the unified receiver with the limit priority in the local storage that is stored in HID.If with the success that reconnects of the unified receiver with limit priority, then HID will transmit data and unify receiver to this.If with the failure that reconnects of the unified receiver with limit priority, then HID will attempt to reconnect the unified receiver that has been assigned with second high priority.Thisly will continue up to the trial of finishing all unified receivers to the trial that reconnects always, perhaps up to one of unified receiver reconnect success till.To send data to the unified receiver that HID successfully connects from HID.If the unified receiver that reconnects with HID is not the unified receiver that has been assigned with limit priority, then the priority in the local storage of HID is reallocated.For later reconnecting, limit priority is distributed to the unified receiver that reconnects with HID.According to a specific embodiment, HID is configured to all other priority of unifying receiver and reduces one-level.But according to the alternative scheme, the priority that other can be unified receiver reduces other progression.For example, the unified receiver that before has a limit priority will be assigned with second high priority etc.Although should notice that the HID in many main configurations can be simultaneously and a plurality of unified receivers pairing, this HID can unify one of receiver at given time arbitrarily and these to have to enliven and is connected.Therefore, will have only a unified receiver can accept the data of transmitting by HID in the given moment.
Should be appreciated that above-mentioned example and embodiment only are used for explanation, and those skilled in the art can expect being included in multiple modification or variation according to these examples and embodiment in the scope of claims and the application's the spirit and scope.For example, this instructions has been discussed the use with the unified receiver and the enumerator software of portable computer in a plurality of places.Portable computer can be to use any computing machine (desk-top computer, notebook, flat computer etc.) that disposes for the mankind.In addition, enumerator software can be firmware, hardware or its combination in some embodiments.In addition, term software comprises software code, compiled code and the instruction that moves of the compiled code that carry out on comfortable processor or other parts of personal computer on personal computer as used herein.In addition, although this instructions is described as HID to be configured to and unified receiver pairing, other peripherals (such as wireless printer, scanner etc.) also can match with unified receiver.In addition, although described be used to guide the user by match, match again, the multiple GUI of various procedures such as discovery, be to be understood that the plurality of devices that do not comprise GUI (text, can listen instruction etc.) can be used to guide user's complete process.Therefore, above description should be interpreted as the scope of the present invention that limits as claim limited.
