Input channel adjustment based on directional context data

A system comprising:

• a processor;
• two or more computing devices;
• a peripheral configured to provide an input to the two or more computing devices, wherein the peripheral is actively exchanging data with one computing device of the two or more devices;
• and
• a computer-readable storage medium communicatively coupled to the processor and storing program instructions which, when executed by the processor, are configured to cause the processor to:
• determine a status change of the peripheral;
• and
• toggle, in response to the status change, the peripheral to actively exchange data with a second computing device and stop exchanging data with the one computing device.

A computer program product, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a processing unit to cause the processing unit to:

• identify two or more computing devices including a first computing device and a second computing device, wherein each of the two or more computing devices is capable of interacting with a first peripheral;
• connect the first peripheral to each of the two or more devices, wherein the first peripheral device is active with a first computing device of the two or more computing devices;
• determine a status change of the first peripheral;
• and
• toggle, in response to the status change, a data exchange such that the first peripheral is active with the second computing device and not active with the first computing device.
