Systems and methods for a dynamic user interface proxy using physical keys

A system for dynamically directing user interface events comprising:

• a processor that determines a user;
• and capability information for a user device and at least one generic device;
• a physical key associated with the at least one generic device;
• wherein the processor determines a first authorization for the generic device to communicate user interface events associated with the user based on the physical key;
• and a second authorization for the generic device based on the user device;
• and wherein identified user interface events on the user device and the generic device are routed based on the physical key.

A carrier wave encoded to transmit a control program, useable to program a computer to dynamically direct user interface events, to a device for executing the program, the control program comprising:

• instructions for determining a user;
• instructions for determining capability information for a user device;
• instructions for determining capability information for at least one generic device;
• instructions for determining a physical key associated with the at least one generic device;
• instructions for determining a first authorization for the generic device to communicate user interface events associated with the user based on the physical key;
• instructions for determining a second authorization for the generic device based on the user device;
• instructions for determining user interface events on the user device and the generic device;
• and routing the user interface events based on the physical key.

Computer readable storage medium comprising:

• computer readable program code embodied on the computer readable storage medium, the computer readable program code usable to program a computer to dynamically direct user interface events comprising the steps of:
• determining a user;
• determining capability information for a user device;
• determining capability information for at least one generic device;
• determining a physical key associated with the at least one generic device;
• determining a first authorization for the generic device to communicate user interface events associated with the user based on the physical key;
• determining a second authorization for the generic device based on the user device;
• determining user interface events on the user device and the generic device;
• and
• routing the user interface events based on the physical key.

A physical key useable with a data system comprising:

• an identifier for retrieving previously specified associations between the physical key and at least one user device;
• and
• a connector for proposing a dynamic association with a generic device in which the proposed dynamic association is communicated over
• a communication channel that is associated with at least one of:
• the physical and the generic device.
