US Patent 10542574 Wireless device connection handover

A system and method includes a first device (e.g., a primary wireless earbud) connected to a second device (e.g., a secondary wireless earbud) using a first wireless connection. The first device is also connected to a third device (e.g., a smartphone or smart watch) using a second wireless connection. If the second device determines that the first wireless connection has disconnected, and if re-connection data is not received from the first device, the second device and the third device establish a third wireless connection between them.
