  • Patent number: 12069473
    Abstract: Methods and systems for performing wireless communication are presented. In one example, a wireless peripheral device comprises a wireless transceiver configured to receive and transmit data over a primary channel, an optical sensor configured to receive data over an out-of-band channel, and one or more processors configured to: receive, via the wireless transceiver and over the primary channel, wireless signals including first key data from a second device; receive, via the optical sensor, optical signals including verification data from the second device; verify the first key data based on the verification data; and responsive to verifying the first key data based on the verification data, generate a digital security key based on the first key data, the digital security key used for following data transmission between the wireless peripheral device and the second device via the wireless transceiver.

  • Publication number: 20240214373
    Abstract: A method of authorizing a computer mouse to perform a particular action may include receiving, by a network device, a request associated with a particular action to be performed by a computer mouse. The request may be digitally signed using a private device key of the computer mouse. The method may include validating, by the network device, the digitally signed request using a public device key previously provided by the computer mouse. The method may include generating a response to the request. The response may indicate whether the computer mouse is authorized to perform the particular action associated with the trusted request. The method may include sending the response to a client device associated with the computer mouse.

  • Publication number: 20050146507
    Abstract: A method, system, and apparatus is disclosed for interfacing with a graphical user interface. In one embodiment, the graphical user interface is displayed on a first computing arrangement. One or more control graphical components are displayed on a second computing arrangement. The control graphical components abstract functions of a proper subset of graphical components of the graphical user interface and are associated with the subset of graphical components. A user input is received via the control graphical components of the second computing arrangement. The user input is communicated to the first computing arrangement for controlling the associated portions of the graphical user interface. A state of the graphical user interface of the first computing arrangement is communicated to the second computing arrangement. The control graphical components of the second computing arrangement are updated based on the state of the graphical user interface.
