Abstract
An intermediate device, including: (a) a wired USB communications component; (b) a wireless USB communications component; (c) a memory unit; (d) a processor, connected to the wired USB communications component, to the wireless USB communications component and to the memory unit, and (e) a USB class compliant driver emulator constructed in response to at least one characteristic of the USB device.
Claims26
A method for connecting a universal serial bus (USB) host and a USB device, the method comprises:
- initiating a first USB connection between an intermediate device and the USB device, in response to a USB class of the USB device, by using at least one USB class compliant driver emulator that is included in the intermediate device, wherein the USB class defines a USB protocol selected from multiple wireless USB protocols and multiple wired USB protocols;
- setting up a second USB connection between the intermediate device and the wireless host, wherein the second USB connection is selected between a wireless connection and a wired connection;
- processing input data received from a source device to provide output data;
- and
- sending the output data to a target device;
- wherein the target device and the source device are selected from the USB host and the USB device and wherein the sending is using the selected USB protocol.
