Automatic switching device operation determination based on received notifications

A switching device, comprising:

• a plurality of audio/video (AV) ports;
• a network interface;
• and
• a switch circuit that is operable to selectively connect any one of a plurality of source devices, each of which is connected to a corresponding one of the plurality of AV ports, to a sink device that is connected to another one of the plurality of AV ports, the switching device being configured to:
• process at least one of a notification received via the network interface or a notification generated by the switching device;
• determine one or more actions to be performed by the switching device in response to receiving the notification using a notification-to-action mapping that maps a plurality of different one or more notifications to a plurality of different one or more actions;
• and
• perform the one or more actions.

A system, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• a memory containing computer-readable instructions, which, when executed by the one or more processors, is configured to perform operations in a switching device comprising a plurality of audio/video (AV) ports and a switch circuit that is operable to connect any one of a plurality of source devices, each of which is connected to a corresponding one of the plurality of AV ports, to a sink device that is connected to another one of the plurality of AV ports, the operations comprising:
• processing at least one of a notification received via a network interface of the switching device or a notification generated by the switching device;
• determining one or more actions to be performed by the switching device in response to receiving the notification using a notification-to-action mapping that maps a plurality of different one or more notifications to a plurality of different one or more actions;
• and
• performing the one or more actions.
