Abstract
Disclosed are a method, system and computer program product for detecting wireless protocol-switchable devices connected to a computer peripheral interface port and enabling seamless switching to a wireless connection upon safe removal from the computer peripheral interface (PI) port. A Wireless Protocol Switching (WPS) utility detects a request for safe removal of one or more connected peripherals. The WPS utility detects whether one or more connected peripherals support a wireless connectivity. Upon detecting whether one or more connected peripherals supports a wireless connectivity, a request for a peripheral selection is prompted. After receipt of a peripheral selection for switching the one or more connected peripherals supporting a wireless connectivity, the WPS utility prompts the connected peripheral supporting wireless connectivity to switch to the wireless protocol. The one or more connected peripherals supporting wireless connectivity are then switched to the wireless protocol.
