Configuring peripheral devices integrated in multiple monitors

A method of configuring peripheral devices integrated in multiple monitors communicatively coupled with an information handling system, the method comprising:

• receive an input indicating a configuration of the peripheral devices corresponding to a layout of the multiple monitors;
• generating a multimonitor device-enabling profile (MDEP) for the multiple monitors based on the input;
• and
• communicating the MDEP to each of the multiple monitors in response to an external event detected by the system;
• wherein the MDEP conveys instructions to the multiple monitors to cause one or more of the multiple monitors to configure at least one of the peripheral devices according to the configuration corresponding to the layout, wherein the configuration of the at least one of the peripheral devices includes the one or more of the multiple monitors to command a universal serial bus (USB) hub disable at least one USB peripheral device of the one or more of the multiple monitors.

An information handling system operatively coupled with multiple monitors in which one or more peripheral devices is integrated in each monitor, the information handling system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• a hardware-implemented memory configured to store executable instructions to cause the one or more processors to perform operations including:
• generating a multimonitor device-enabling profile (MDEP) corresponding to a layout of the multiple monitors;
• and
• communicating the MDEP to the multiple monitors in response to an external event;
• wherein the MDEP conveys instructions to the multiple monitors to cause one or more of the multiple monitors to configure at least one of the one or more peripheral devices, wherein the configuration of the at least one of the peripheral devices includes the one or more of the multiple monitors to command a universal serial bus (USB) hub disable at least one USB peripheral device of the one or more of the multiple monitors.
