| Abstract: |
A personal area network includes a plurality of peripheral devices attached to the network, at least one attaching peripheral device requesting to attach to the network, and a hub device connected to the network and communicating with the plurality of peripheral devices. The hub device receives the attachment request from the attaching peripheral device, provides the attaching peripheral device with attachment approval and a time-out interval, and detaches the attaching peripheral device when the attaching peripheral device fails to communicate with the hub device for a period of time equal to the time-out interval.
