Patent number: 9189298Abstract: A processing system and method for connecting to a remote USB device automatically. The processing system and method provide a user computer to be connected to or disconnected from a USB device via a network system and a USB server connected to the USB device. In the beginning, the user computer finds a USB device for the user computer from the USB server via the network system; when detecting that the user computer issues request messages, the USB server connects the user computer with the USB device, and the USB device executes corresponding services according to the request messages issued by the user computer; in the last, after detecting that the USB device has finished the corresponding services according to the request messages issued by the user computer, the USB server is enabled to disconnect the user computer from the USB device.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2010Date of Patent: November 17, 2015Assignee: KCODES CORPORATIONInventors: Tang-En Chiu, Ming-Huei Wu, Yao-Lu Tsai, Ze-Kai Hsiau

Patent number: 8959262Abstract: A method for accelerating signal transmission in a USB network protocol architecture having a USB server, a processing device and a peripheral device connected to the USB server. The method includes: intercepting request signals sent from the processing device according to the USB network protocol; sending, by the USB server, virtual request signals to the peripheral device so as to cause the peripheral device to generate control signals corresponding to the virtual request signals; receiving, by the USB server, the control signals from the peripheral device, and transmitting, by the USB server, the control signals to the processing device; and matching, by the processing device, the control signals and the intercepted request signals so as to perform operations corresponding to the control signals. Therefore, the present invention eliminates the need to wait for the arrival of request signals before making responses, thereby accelerating the speed of signal transmission.Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 2012Date of Patent: February 17, 2015Assignee: KCodes CorporationInventors: Tang-En Chiu, Yung-Ju Liang, Ze-Kai Hsiau
