1. An electronic device, comprising:
a charging dock to charge a wireless peripheral device;
a sensor to determine when the wireless peripheral device is decoupled from the charging dock;
a wireless communication device to wirelessly communicate with the wireless peripheral device; and
a controller to, responsive to an output from the sensor indicating that the wireless peripheral device is decoupled from the charging dock, trigger the wireless communication device to pair with the wireless peripheral device, and responsive to a strength of a wireless connection signal between the electronic device and the wireless peripheral device being greater than a threshold, to connect the electronic device and the wireless peripheral device.
