Abstract
A method and system for wirelessly coupling a computer with a peripheral device. The peripheral device is initially docked to a docking port in the computer. The computer then listens for identifiers from all peripheral devices within range of the computer, including the identifier for the peripheral device that is presently docked with the computer. The computer then instructs the docked peripheral device to stop sending its identifier. By a process of deduction, the computer is able to identify the docked peripheral device. The step of stopping the docked peripheral device from sending the peripheral device's identifier is preferably controlled by monitoring whether the computer is charging a battery in the docked peripheral device. Thus, the docked peripheral device transmits its identifier only when it is charging its battery.
