Ultra-wideband control of smart streaming devices

An ultra-wideband (UWB) computing system for transitioning a call between two devices, the ultra-wideband computing system comprising:

• one or more UWB receivers and transmitters;
• one or more processors;
• and
• one or more memories storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the UWB computing system to perform a process comprising:
• receiving, with the one or more UWB receivers, one or more first UWB signals;
• determining, based on the one or more first UWB signals, a first position of the UWB device;
• identifying an origin device, connected to the call and at which the UWB device is initially pointed, based on the first determined position of the UWB device;
• receiving, with the one or more UWB receivers, one or more second UWB signals;
• determining, based on the one or more second UWB signals, a second position of the UWB device;
• identifying a destination device, at which the UWB device is pointed subsequent to the first position of the UWB device, based on the second determined position of the UWB device;
• and
• sending a transition command to the destination device, the transition command including a device identifier of the origin device;
• wherein the transition command causes the destination device to connect to the call the origin device is connected to, wherein the destination device uses the device identifier to connect to the call in response to receipt of the device identifier;
• and
• wherein the origin device disconnects from the call in response to the origin device detecting the destination device has connected to the call.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause a computing system to perform a process comprising:

• identifying an origin device, connected to the call and at which the UWB device is initially pointed, based on a first determined position of the UWB device;
• identifying a destination device, at which the UWB device is subsequently pointed, based on a second determined position of the UWB device;
• and
• sending a transition command to the destination device, the transition command including a call identifier or a device identifier of the origin device;
• wherein the transition command causes the destination device to connect to the call the origin device is connected to, wherein the destination device uses the call identifier or the device identifier to connect to the call in response to receipt of the call identifier or the device identifier;
• and
• wherein the origin device disconnects from the call in response to the origin device detecting the destination device has connected to the call.
