  • Patent number: 12592976
    Abstract: In an example in accordance with the present disclosure, a computing device is described. The computing device includes a processor and a memory communicatively coupled to the processor and storing executable instructions. The instructions, when executed cause the processor to run a connection broker module to assign a host device to a remote device for a remote desktop connection. The host device is assigned from a pool of host devices available to host the remote desktop connection. The instructions, when executed cause the processor to run a remote desktop module to establish the remote desktop connection between the host device and the remote device. The instructions, when executed cause the processor to establish a communication channel between the connection broker module and the remote desktop module to exchange messages associated with the remote desktop connection.

  • Patent number: 12265479
    Abstract: In some examples, an electronic device includes a network interface to connect to a computer network, a display port operating as a display input, an input/output port, memory having a plurality of profiles, and a processor coupled to the memory. In some examples, the processor is to change an operation of the input/output port based on a profile of the plurality of profiles. In some examples, the processor is to change the display port from the display input to a display output based on the profile of the plurality of profiles.

  • Patent number: 12204484
    Abstract: One example of an IP KVM device includes a USB port, a display port, a communication port, a network port, and a processor communicatively coupled to the USB port, display port, communication port, and network port. The USB port may be communicatively coupled to a host device to receive first USB signals from the host device. The display port may be communicatively coupled to the host device to receive first display signals from the host device. The communication port may be communicatively coupled to a secondary IP KVM device to receive second USB signals from the host device and second display signals from the host device. The network port may be communicatively coupled to a network. The processor is to aggregate the first and second USB signals and the first and second display signals and output the aggregated USB signals and display signals via the network port.

  • Patent number: 12147821
    Abstract: A host device has a hardware-based remote control mode and a softwarebased remote control mode. The availability of each of the hardware- and software-based remote control modes is monitored. Client device remote control of the host device is selectively switched between the hardware- and softwarebased remote control modes, based on the monitored availability of each remote control mode.

  • Patent number: 12032762
    Abstract: One example of an internet protocol (IP) keyboard, video, mouse (KVM) device includes a universal serial bus (USB) port, a display port, a network port, a Bluetooth transceiver, a processor, and a memory. The USB port is to be communicatively coupled to a host device. The display port is to be communicatively coupled to the host device. The network port is to be communicatively coupled to a network. The processor is communicatively coupled to the USB port, the display port, the network port, and the Bluetooth transceiver. The memory stores a unique identifier to be transmitted to a client device via Bluetooth in response to establishing a Bluetooth connection between the client device and the IP KVM device. The unique identifier is used by the client device to establish a remote connection to the IP KVM device.
