Abstract
In one embodiment, a cloud client device receives an indication of a coupling with a client device. The cloud client device sends authentication data to a cloud services system and receives data for configuring the cloud client device from the cloud services system, the data including one or more software modules associated with a communication protocol. The cloud client device receives input from a user of the client device and transmits the input in accordance with the communication protocol.

A method comprising:
- by a cloud client device, receiving an indication of a coupling with a client device;
- by the cloud client device, sending authentication data to a cloud services system;
- by the cloud client device, receiving data for configuring the cloud client device from the cloud services system, the data comprising one or more software modules associated with a communication protocol;
- by the cloud client device, receiving input from a user of the client device;
- and
- by the cloud client device, transmitting the input in accordance with the communication protocol.
An information handling system comprising:
- a cloud client device, the cloud client device operable to:
- receive an indication of a coupling with a client device;
- send authentication data to a cloud services system;
- receive data for configuring the cloud client device from the cloud services system, the data comprising one or more software modules associated with a communication protocol;
- receive input from a user of the client device;
- and
- transmit the input in accordance with the communication protocol.
One or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media embodying software that is operable when executed to:
- receive an indication of a coupling with a client device;
- send authentication data to a cloud services system;
