Estimating the term…
Devices, systems, and methods for selectively pairing an upstream facing USB port device (UFP device) and a downstream facing USB port device (DFP device) over a network are disclosed. A controller device sends pairing commands to a selected UFP device and a selected DFP device, which then establish a connection with each other over a network. The controller device may subsequently cause the UFP device and/or the DFP device to remove the existing pairing and to instead pair with a different UFP device or DFP device. A pairing between a UFP device and a DFP device allows a host device coupled to the UFP device and a USB device coupled to the DFP device to communicate via a USB-compatible protocol.
A computing device configured to control pairings between one or more upstream facing port devices (UFP devices) and one or more downstream facing port devices (DFP devices) on a network by:
A USB extension device communicatively coupled to a network and configured to:
The USB extension device of claim 17, wherein the user interface device is configured to present a graphical user interface to a user.
Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
