  • Patent number: 9767049
    Abstract: The present invention presents apparatuses and systems for operating multiple computers from a single keyboard and a single mouse and view composite videos generated from video output of the multiple computers on a single display, while preventing any possible information leakage between the computers. Keyboard and mouse commands detected by a host controller are used to control a video processor and a peripheral switch. The peripheral switch directs keyboard and mouse signals to one selected host and at the same time, the video processor creates an active display window showing video information from the selected host. Physical unidirectional isolators in the video, keyboard and mouse channels prevent any potential data leakages between hosts.

  • Patent number: 9734358
    Abstract: Methods, devices and system for enhancing computer information security by physically blocking unused USB ports with self-locking devices, or by providing USB port self-locking device with internal circuitry that qualifies and secures user peripheral device attached to the computer, and by continuously communicating with a management software application that provides real-time monitoring and warnings when any USB self-locking device is being removed or tampered. The self-locking devices use a spring loaded teeth in the USB plug that lock into tab spaces in the USB jack. Visual indicator provides positive assurance when all ports are secure. Each self-locking devices include a security circuit which is uniquely paired with the protected port. Some self-locking devices include data filters that only enable connecting authorized peripheral devices.

  • Patent number: 9665525
    Abstract: A serial protocol based Docking device having a single set of user peripherals supports multiple removable host computers having different video output types and different operating systems. The device provides mouse tracking function that switches the keyboard and mouse to the different host computers when the cursor is moved by the user across the respective display boundary. The docking device provides file-sharing and cut-and-paste functions across the different docked host computers. Laptops, tabletops as well as Smartphones, tablets and other forms of portable platforms are supported. Dragging an item from a display designated to a first host computer to a display designated to a second host computer performs moving or copying the item from the first host to the second host.

  • Patent number: 9542006
    Abstract: A system enabling a computer user to securely share a single set of keyboard and mouse (KM) among multiple isolated computers. The system enables one set of peripheral devices to independently interact with multiple coupled isolated computers through mouse position analysis on a virtual display area corresponding to multiple physical user displays of the particular installation. The system may be used to enable computer user having multiple isolated computers each with one or more coupled display to automatically switch a single set of keyboard mouse and other peripheral devices between the different computers. As isolated computers may have different security levels, the method and apparatus of the present invention prevents and potential data leakages between computers and coupled networks.
