System and method for automatically switching connection of a wireless interface

A device comprising:

• a first wireless interface configured to connect said device to a first further device;
• and
• a second wireless interface configured to connect said device to a controller, wherein:
• said first wireless interface is configured to detect that a second further device is located within a coverage area of said first wireless interface and to communicate that the second further device is located within the coverage area to said second wireless interface;
• said second wireless interface is configured to transmit a message indicating that said second further device is located within the coverage area to said controller;
• said second wireless interface is configured to receive a command to disconnect said first wireless interface from said first further device from said controller;
• and
• said first wireless interface is further configured to receive said command from said second wireless interface, execute said command to disconnect said device from said first further device and responsive to said disconnecting, accept a connection request received from said second further device to connect said device to said second further device.

A method for, when a first wireless interface of a device is connected to a first further device, disconnecting said first wireless interface from said first further device and connecting the first wireless interface to a second further device, said method comprising steps of:

• a) providing said device with a second wireless interface configured to connect said device with a controller;
• b) at said first wireless interface, detecting that said second further device is located within a coverage area of the first wireless interface, and communicating that the second further device is located within the coverage area to said second wireless interface;
• c) transmitting from said second wireless interface to said controller a message indicating that said second further device is located within the coverage area;
• d) at said controller, executing a service logic and, according to a result thereof, transmitting to said second wireless interface a command to disconnect said first wireless interface from said first further device;
• and
• e) at said first wireless interface, receiving said command from said second wireless interface, executing said command to disconnect said device from said first further device, and accepting, in response to said disconnecting, a connection request received from said second further device to connect said device to said second further device.
