Abstract
Systems and techniques for automated transfer of peripheral device operations are described herein. In an example, a system may adapted so that, while a first device of a first type and a second device of the first type are simultaneously connected to a client device, the first device, rather than the second device, is used as an active device of the first type for at least one application, the first and second devices being peripheral devices. The system may be further adapted so that, while both the first and second devices remain connected to the client device, a switch from the first device to the second device by a user is determined, and, based on the switch from the first device to the second device, the second device, rather than the first device, is used as the active device of the first type for the at least one application.
