Enabling an input device simultaneously with multiple electronic devices

An input device configured to simultaneously communicate with multiple electronic devices, comprising:

• a processor;
• memory in electronic communication with the processor;
• instructions stored in the memory, the instructions being executable to:
• establish a first connection with a first electronic device, wherein the first connection enters an active mode;
• establish a second connection with a second electronic device, wherein the second connection enters the active mode;
• switch the first connection to a standby mode in response to the second connection entering the active mode;
• switch the first connection and the second connection between the active mode and the standby mode, wherein only one connection is in the active mode at a time;
• store connection mode information corresponding to the first connection and connection mode information corresponding to the second connection when the input device transitions to a power down state;
• and
• restore the connection mode of the first connection using the connection mode information corresponding to the first connection and the connection mode of the second connection using the connection mode information corresponding to the second connection when the input device transitions from the power down state to a paging state.

A non-transitory tangible computer-readable medium having instructions thereon, the instructions comprising:

• code for causing the input device to establish a first connection with a first electronic device, wherein the first connection enters an active mode;
• code for causing the input device to establish a second connection with a second electronic device, wherein the second connection enters the active mode;
• code for causing the input device to switch the first connection to a standby mode in response to the second connection entering the active mode;
• code for causing the input device to switch the first connection and the second connection between the active mode and the standby mode, wherein only one connection is in the active mode at a time;
• code for causing the input device to store connection mode information corresponding to the first connection and connection mode information corresponding to the second connection when the input device transitions to a power down state;
• and
• code for causing the input device to restore the connection mode of the first connection using the connection mode information corresponding to the first connection and the connection mode of the second connection using the connection mode information corresponding to the second connection when the input device transitions from the power down state to a paging state.

An apparatus for simultaneously communicating with multiple electronic devices, further comprising:

• means for establishing a first connection with a first electronic device, wherein the first connection enters an active mode;
• means for establishing a second connection with a second electronic device, wherein the second connection enters the active mode;
• means for switching the first connection to a standby mode in response to the second connection entering the active mode;
• means for switching the first connection and the second connection between the active mode and the standby mode, wherein only one connection is in the active mode at a time;
• means for storing connection mode information corresponding to the first connection and connection mode information corresponding to the second connection when the input device transitions to a power down state;
• and
• means for restoring the connection mode of the first connection using the connection mode information corresponding to the first connection and restoring the connection mode of the second connection using the connection mode information corresponding to the second connection when the input device transitions from the power down state to a paging state.
