Abstract
A system and method for notifying a user of a loss of wireless communication between a host device and at least one peripheral device is described. The system comprises a host device, at least one peripheral device, means for detecting a loss of wireless connection between the host device and the at least one peripheral device and an alarm notifying the user of the loss of wireless connection between the host device and the at least one peripheral device. A method for notifying a user of a loss of wireless communication between a host device and at least one peripheral device is described, the method comprising detecting a loss of wireless communication between a host device and at least one peripheral device, signaling software controlling a transceiver that the loss of communication has been detected and transmitting a message to alert the user of the loss of wireless communication.
