Abstract: An electrical connector can have a switch module connected to a first interface, a second interface, and a third interface with a computing device connected to the first interface, a first peripheral device connected to the second interface, and a second peripheral device connected to the third interface. The first peripheral device may communicate with the computing device via a first conduit that extends through the switch module prior to the switch module activating a second conduit that extends through the switch module in response to detection of an operational condition of the computing device.

Abstract: A method for establishing network connections is described. In one embodiment, the method includes receiving, via a processor of a first computing device, an input associated with enabling a second computing device to establish a connection with a network device, generating, via the processor, a customized encoded symbol based at least in part on the input, and providing, via the processor, the customized encoded symbol for use by the second computing device to establish the connection with the network device.
