Patent number: 10789181Abstract: In some embodiments a transceiver is configured to wirelessly transfer data between a host computing device and one or more peripheral devices over a communication path using a communication data construct comprising a packet structure arranged in a repetitive communication structure. The repetitive communication structure can include a transmit time window within which the host transmits data to the one or more connected peripheral devices and a receive time window within which the host receives data from the one or more connected peripheral devices. A duration of the receive time window is set based on a predetermined communication report rate between the host computing device and the one or more connected peripheral devices. A new peripheral device is added as a connected peripheral device when the new peripheral device transmits a request to the host to be added as a connected peripheral device and the receive time window has time available to add the new peripheral device.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 2019Date of Patent: September 29, 2020Assignee: Logitech Europe S.A.Inventors: Philippe Chazot, Jiri Holzbecher, Frédéric Fortin, Fabrice Sauterel
