A wireless interface device services communications between a wirelessly
enabled host and at least one user input device. The wireless interface
device includes a wireless interface unit, a processing unit, an
input/output unit, and may include a power management unit. The wireless
interface unit wirelessly interfaces with the wirelessly enabled host.
The processing unit and the wireless interface unit interact to determine
when the wireless interface unit has established a link with the
wirelessly enabled host. When the wireless interface unit has established
a link with the wirelessly enabled host, the processing unit interacts
with the input/output unit to direct the input/output unit to output a
link established indication. When the wireless interface unit enters a
sniff mode or a park mode, a second link established indication may be
provided. When the link is taken down or lost, a link non-established
indication may be provided.
