Method and system for shortening wireless pairing connection time by detecting an object or body

A control device comprising:

• a control circuit;
• a presence detection module, coupled to the control circuit, to detect a presence of a user proximate to the control device prior to receiving a user input from the user, wherein the user input corresponds to one or more user interactions with the control device;
• a communications module, coupled to the control circuit and configured to:
• initiate a wireless connection with a computing device in response to the presence detection module detecting a presence of the user proximate to the control device, wherein the communications module manages wireless connections of the control device;
• and
• establish the wireless connection with the computing device in response to the presence detection module detecting a presence of the user proximate to the control device, wherein the user input corresponds to one or more user interactions with the control device, and wherein the wireless connection is established over a time period that is shorter than a time it takes for the user to physically engage the control device and provide a user input;
• and
• an input module, coupled to the control circuit and configured to receive the user input, wherein a control signal is generated based on the received user input, and wherein the control signal is transmitted to the computing device by the established wireless connection.

A method comprising:

• detecting, by a control device, a presence of a user proximate to the control device prior to receiving a user input from the user, wherein the user input corresponds to one or more user interactions with the control device;
• in response to detecting the presence of the user proximate to the control device prior to receiving the input from the user:
• reestablishing a wireless connection between the control device and a computing device that was previously but not currently established, the reestablishing occurring prior to the control device receiving the user input from the user, wherein the wireless connection is reestablished at a time period shorter than a time it takes for the user to physically engage the control device and provide the user input;
• receiving, by the control device, the user input;
• generating a control signal based on the received user input;
• and
• transmitting the control signal to the computing device by the established wireless connection.
