Interconnection of peripheral devices on different electronic devices

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform:

• creating a generic virtual device object representing an image of a peripheral device attached to an electronic device and comprising properties of the peripheral device;
• assigning the generic virtual device object to a device class associated with the peripheral device;
• installing the generic virtual device object on a remote electronic device using existent setup information of the electronic device;
• receiving data at the electronic device from a remote peripheral device attached to the remote electronic device;
• generating a setup file via the electronic device responsive to determining the device class of the remote peripheral device attached to the remote electronic device is a same one as the device class of the peripheral device attached to the electronic device;
• installing a remote virtual device object at the remote peripheral device via the setup file;
• and
• emulating the remote peripheral device from the electronic device via an emulation driver loaded by the remote virtual device object;
• wherein the remote virtual device object is created for the emulation driver.

A system, comprising:

• a remote electronic device;
• a remote peripheral device;
• a peripheral device;
• and
• an electronic device including a processor configured to:
• create a generic virtual device object that represents an image of the peripheral device and comprising properties of the peripheral device;
• wherein the generic virtual device object is assigned to a device class associated with the peripheral device;
• install the generic virtual device object on the remote electronic device based on existent setup information of the electronic device;
• receive data at the electronic device from the remote peripheral device communicably coupled to the remote electronic device;
• generate a setup file via the electronic device responsive to a determination that the device class of the remote peripheral device attached to the remote electronic device is a same one as the device class of the peripheral device attached to the electronic device;
• install a remote virtual device object at the remote peripheral device via the setup file;
• and
• emulate the remote peripheral device from the electronic device via an emulation driver loaded by the remote virtual device object;
• wherein the remote virtual device object is created for the emulation driver.
