  • Publication number: 20240330208
    Abstract: A method and a system for switching an input device are disclosed. The method is adapted to the system for switching the input device including a main control device and a slave device. The main control device is connected to an input device and detects input information of the input device. The main control device detects a transmission protocol between the main control device and the slave device. Whether a control target device of the input device is the slave device is determined by the main control device. When the control target device of the input device is the slave device, the main control device converts the input information into a transmission packet conforming to the transmission protocol. The transmission packet is transmitted from the main control device to the slave device. The slave device parses the transmission packet to obtain the input information to perform an input operation according to the input information.
