Bluetooth enabled computing system and associated methods
First Claim
1. A bluetooth enabled computing system, comprising:
- a host device including a processor, a memory, and a peripheral device communication port, wherein the processor and the memory are defined to collectively execute a computer application, the host device defined to establish a communication channel for a datastream associated with the computer application as transmitted through the peripheral device communication port;
a control device connected to the peripheral device communication port, the control device defined to transmit input signals through the peripheral device communication port to the host device, wherein the datastream includes data associated with the computer application as communicated between the control device and the host device; and
a bluetooth host chip connected within the host device to enable bluetooth connection and communication with a bluetooth client chip in an external device outside the host device,wherein the communication channel for the datastream is established separate from the bluetooth connection between the bluetooth host chip and the bluetooth client chip, andwherein the host device is further defined to enable connection of the bluetooth client chip to the communication channel for the datastream such that the datastream can be monitored by the external device.

Abstract
A host device is provided to include a processor, a memory, and a peripheral device communication port. The processor and the memory are defined to collectively execute a computer application. The host device is defined to establish a communication channel for a datastream associated with the computer application as transmitted through the peripheral device communication port. A bluetooth host chip is connected within the host device to enable bluetooth communication with a bluetooth client chip in an external device outside the host device. The host device is further defined to enable connection of the bluetooth client chip to the communication channel for the datastream, such that the datastream can be monitored by the external device.
