Abstract

The present disclosure provides a computer-implemented method for connecting peripheral units to user devices. The method comprises detecting a communication via a first user device connectable to a peripheral unit; detecting a connection intent of the peripheral unit to connect to a second user device; and sending, to the second user device, a command to suppress a connection with the peripheral unit.

Claims (31)

1. A computer-implemented method for connecting peripheral units to user devices, the method comprising:

detecting a communication via a first user device connectable to a peripheral unit;

detecting a connection intent of the peripheral unit to connect to a second user device; and

sending, to the second user device, a command to suppress a connection with the peripheral unit.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the first user device and the second user device use a user profile associated with a user.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising detecting network conditions for the first user device and the second user device.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising detecting battery levels for the first user device and the second user device.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising detecting if the communication is an encrypted communication.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the communication is an incoming audio or video call or an outgoing audio or video call.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the peripheral unit is a headset, headphones, speaker, head-mounted display (HMD), smartglasses, smartwatch or smartband.

8. A non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing a set of instructions for connecting peripheral units to user devices that, when executed by a processor, cause:

detecting a communication via a first user device connectable to a peripheral unit;

detecting a connection intent of the peripheral unit to connect to a second user device; and

sending, to the second user device, a command to suppress a connection with the peripheral unit.

9. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the first user device and the second user device use a user profile associated with a user.

10. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the instructions further comprise detecting network conditions for the first user device and the second user device.

11. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the instructions further comprise detecting battery level for the first user device and the second user device.

12. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the instructions further comprise detecting if the communication is an encrypted communication.

13. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the communication is an incoming audio or video call or an outgoing audio or video call.

14. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the peripheral unit is a headset, headphones, speaker, head-mounted display (HMD), smartglasses, smartwatch or smartband.

15. A system for connecting peripheral units to user devices, the system comprising:

a processor;

a memory operatively connected to the processor and storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause:

detecting a communication via a first user device connectable to a peripheral unit;

detecting a connection intent of the peripheral unit to connect to a second user device; and

sending, to the second user device, a command to suppress a connection with the peripheral unit.

16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the first user device and the second user device use a user profile associated with a user.

17. The system of claim 15 , wherein the instructions further comprise detecting network conditions for the first user device and the second user device.

18. The system of claim 15 , wherein the instructions further comprise detecting battery level for the first user device and the second user device.

19. The system of claim 15 , wherein the instructions further comprise detecting if the communication is an encrypted communication.

20. The system of claim 15 , wherein the communication is an incoming audio or video call or an outgoing audio or video call.
