Abstract
According to some embodiments, remote USB network device control is provided. In some embodiments, systems and methods may include identifying an input device and emulating the input device as a universal serial bus device on a universal serial bus host. The systems and methods may further include determining if mapping information is defined for the input device, wherein the mapping information is to associate an output of the input device with at least one network device coupled to the universal serial bus host.
Claims29
A method, comprising:
- identifying an input device;
- emulating the input device as a universal serial bus device on a universal serial bus host;
- and
- determining if mapping information is defined for the input device, wherein the mapping information is to associate an output of the input device with at least one network device coupled to the universal serial bus host.
A method, comprising:
- receiving, from a client device, an indication associated with an output from an emulated universal serial bus input device;
- identifying, based at least in part on the received indication, at least one network device associated with the output;
- determining information associated with the at least one network device;
- and
- providing the information associated with the at least one network device to the client device.
A system, comprising:
- an electronic device, comprising:
- an emulated universal serial bus input device;
- a first network device to receive, from a client device, an indication associated with an output from the emulated universal serial bus input device, and to send, to the client device, status information associated with at least one network device;
- and
- an encoding device to encode the information associated with the at least one network device.
A system, comprising:
- an electronic device, comprising:
- a network device to receive output from an input device and to send information indicative of the output to a remote universal serial bus host device;
- an emulation device to emulate the input device as a universal serial bus input device on the remote universal serial bus host device;
- a decoding device to decode network device information received from the remote universal serial bus host device;
- and
- an interface to map the output from the input device to at least one action associated with a network device coupled to the remote universal serial bus host device.
