Tracking a paired peripheral input device based on a contact criterion

An electronic device comprising:

• a communication interface to communicate with a paired peripheral input device;
• a non-transitory memory;
• and
• one or more processors to:
• determine a distance between the electronic device and a physical object;
• obtain, from the paired peripheral input device via the communication interface, sensor data indicative of a distance between the paired peripheral input device and the physical object;
• and
• determine a location of the paired peripheral input device based on (i) satisfaction of a criterion based on the sensor data and (ii) the distance between the electronic device and the physical object.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions encoded thereon which, when executed by one or more processors of an electronic device including a communication interface to communicate with a paired peripheral input device, cause the electronic device to:

• determine a distance between the electronic device and a physical object;
• obtain, from the paired peripheral input device via the communication interface, sensor data indicative of a distance between the paired peripheral input device and the physical object;
• and
• determine a location of the paired peripheral input device based on (i) satisfaction of a criterion based on the sensor data and (ii) the distance between the electronic device and the physical object.
