Abstract

The present disclosure provides a wireless communication system including a first host computer, a communication dongle, a second host computer and an input device. The communication dongle is connected to the first host computer via a USB interface, connected to the second host computer via a Bluetooth interface, and connected to the input device via a wireless interface. The first host computer has first application software for intercepting the operating signal(s) of the input device and transferring, via the communication dongle, to the second host computer to be executed thereby. The first application software also controls the first host computer to ignore the operating signal(s) during the operating signal(s) is being transferred to the second host computer.

Claims (47)

1 . A wireless communication system, comprising:

a mouse device, configured to be connected to a first host computer, which is embedded with a first application software and comprises a first input device, using a first Bluetooth interface to form a first Bluetooth connection, and connected to a second host computer using a second Bluetooth interface to form a second Bluetooth connection, wherein

the first application software is configured to intercept a first event signal of the first input device and transfer the intercepted first event signal to the second host computer via the mouse device to cause the first input device to control operations of the second host computer,

during the first event signal of the first input device being transferred to the second host computer via the mouse device, a controlled target of the mouse device is also switched from the first host computer to the second host computer, and

the first input device comprises at least one hotkey, and during the first event signal of the first input device being transferred to the second host computer via the mouse device, the at least one hotkey is configured to stop the first event signal being transferred to the second host computer via the mouse device.

2 . The wireless communication system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein

the first host computer is a notebook computer, and

the second host computer is a smartphone, a tablet computer or a notebook computer.

3 . The wireless communication system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein during the first event signal of the first input device being transferred to the second host computer via the mouse device, the first application software is further configured to

control the first host computer not to operate corresponding to the first event signal.

4 . The wireless communication system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first Bluetooth connection and the second Bluetooth connection are kept activating simultaneously after being constructed.

5 . The wireless communication system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein

the second host computer is embedded with a second application software and comprises a second input device, and

the second application software is configured to intercept a second event signal from the second input device and transfer the intercepted second event signal to the first host computer via the mouse device to cause the second input device to control operations of the first host computer.

6 . The wireless communication system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein during the first event signal of the first input device being transferred to the second host computer via the mouse device, the at least one hotkey is further configured to

control the second host computer to show recently executed APPs.

7 . The wireless communication system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein during the first event signal of the first input device being transferred to the second host computer via the mouse device, the at least one hotkey is further configured to

change an input method corresponding to different languages.

8 . The wireless communication system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein during the first event signal of the first input device being transferred to the second host computer via the mouse device, the at least one hotkey is further configured to

control the second host computer to go to a home desktop when the second host computer is a smartphone.

9 . The wireless communication system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein during the first event signal of the first input device being transferred to the second host computer via the mouse device, the at least one hotkey is further configured to

bring up an on-screen keyboard of the second host computer when the second host computer is a smartphone.

10 . The wireless communication system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein during the first event signal of the first input device being transferred to the second host computer via the mouse device, the at least one hotkey is further configured to

perform cursor position calibration when the second host computer is a smartphone.

11 . A wireless communication system, comprising:

a mouse device, configured to be connected to a first host computer, which is embedded with a first application software and comprises a first input device, using a first Bluetooth interface to form a first Bluetooth connection, and connected to a second host computer using a second Bluetooth interface to form a second Bluetooth connection, and the mouse device being configured to construct a communication channel between the first host computer and the second host computer to perform data communication therebetween via the communication channel, wherein

the first application software is configured to intercept a first event signal of the first input device and transfer the intercepted first event signal to the second host computer via the mouse device to cause the first input device to control operations of the second host computer, and

the first input device comprises at least one hotkey, and during the first event signal of the first input device being transferred to the second host computer via the mouse device, the at least one hotkey is configured to stop the first event signal being transferred to the second host computer via the mouse device.

12 . The wireless communication system as claimed in claim 11 , wherein

the first host computer is a notebook computer, and

the second host computer is a smartphone, a tablet computer or a notebook computer.

13 . The wireless communication system as claimed in claim 11 , wherein during the first event signal of the first input device being transferred to the second host computer via the mouse device, the first application software is further configured to

control the first host computer not to operate corresponding to the first event signal.

14 . The wireless communication system as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the first Bluetooth connection and the second Bluetooth connection are kept activating simultaneously after being constructed.

15 . The wireless communication system as claimed in claim 11 , wherein

the second host computer is embedded with a second application software and comprises a second input device, and

the second application software is configured to intercept a second event signal from the second input device and transfer the intercepted second event signal to the first host computer via the mouse device to cause the second input device to control operations of the first host computer.

16 . The wireless communication system as claimed in claim 11 , wherein during the first event signal of the first input device being transferred to the second host computer via the mouse device, the at least one hotkey is further configured to

control the second host computer to show recently executed APPs.

17 . The wireless communication system as claimed in claim 11 , wherein during the first event signal of the first input device being transferred to the second host computer via the mouse device, the at least one hotkey is further configured to

change an input method corresponding to different languages.

18 . The wireless communication system as claimed in claim 11 , wherein during the first event signal of the first input device being transferred to the second host computer via the mouse device, the at least one hotkey is further configured to

control the second host computer to go to a home desktop when the second host computer is a smartphone.

19 . The wireless communication system as claimed in claim 11 , wherein during the first event signal of the first input device being transferred to the second host computer via the mouse device, the at least one hotkey is further configured to
