Abstract
A method for emulating a physical connection using a wireless connection includes establishing a communication connection with a host controller according to a first communication protocol and establishing a wireless connection with a wireless device coupled to a peripheral. The method further includes receiving a wireless signal comprising registration information for the peripheral formatted according to a second communication protocol and communicating the registration information to the host controller using the communication connection. The communication of the registration information to the host controller allows the host controller to recognize the peripheral.
