A method includes determining a physical location of each of a plurality of peripheral devices communicatively coupled to a host computing device, the each of the plurality of peripheral devices including a computer mouse; generating a lighting sequence configured to activate visual output elements on the each of the plurality of peripheral devices; and modifying the lighting sequence based on the physical location of the computer mouse relative to at least one of the other plurality of peripheral devices. In some aspects, the plurality of peripheral devices further includes a mouse pad, and modifying the lighting sequence for the computer mouse is based on the location of the computer mouse relative to its position on the mouse pad. In some cases, modifying the lighting sequence for the computer mouse is based on the location of the computer mouse relative to its position to the other plurality of peripheral devices.

Multi-peripheral position-based synchronous lighting

A method includes detecting an object in in proximity with the a peripheral device such that the object is located in a position indicative of light generated by one or more visual output elements of the peripheral device being obfuscated from a user; determining an obfuscation area defining a boundary of an area being obfuscated; determining a current output schema displayed on a set of visual output elements; determining a current visual output area defining a boundary of the current output schema; determining a location of the obfuscation area; determining a location of the current visual output area; determining an amount of overlap between the obfuscation area and the current visual output area based on their corresponding determined locations; and in response to the amount of overlap being greater than an overlap threshold value: reconfiguring the current output schema to be displayed on a different set of visual output elements.

Display adaptation on a peripheral device

A method can include intercepting a command generated by a computer peripheral device; determining a function corresponding to the command; generating a lighting output schema configured to be output on one or more visual output elements on the computer peripheral device based on the determined function; identifying, based on the determined function, whether a second software component can accept the command; and in response to determining that the second software component can accept the command, sending the intercepted command to the second software component. The method can further include requesting confirmation data from the second software component that indicates whether the second software component can perform the determined function; receiving the confirmation data; and in response to the confirmation data indicating that the second software component cannot perform the determined function, preventing the intercepted command from being sent to the second software component at the intended destination.

System and method for function-based lighting output schemas for peripheral devices

A method can include: determining a physical location of each of a plurality of peripheral devices communicatively coupled to a host computing device; generating a lighting sequence configured to activate visual output elements on the each of the plurality of peripheral devices, wherein the lighting sequence is a time based sequence that traverses the plurality of peripheral devices; and modifying a timing parameter of the lighting sequence based on the respective physical location of each of the plurality of peripheral devices. In some cases, modifying the lighting sequence can include: determining a distance between at least two of the plurality of peripheral devices and modifying the timing parameter of the sequential pattern based on the distance between the at least two of the plurality of peripheral devices.
