Abstract
A Universal Serial Bus (USB) hub for allowing communication between a host device and one or more peripheral devices. The USB hub is configured to allow the host device to communicate with the peripheral devices in at least two communication modes and to automatically switch between communication modes in response to the type of connection between the host device and the USB hub. In a first communication mode, the host device is wirelessly coupled to the USB hub and in a second communication mode, the host device is physically coupled (wired-connection) to the USB hub.
