  • USB based virtualized media system
    Patent number: 9424215
    Abstract: In a virtualized desktop system an interfacing module is coupled to peripheral ports of a target device. The interfacing module is connected to a network. A digital user station is connected to the network. The digital user station is configured to be coupled to peripherals. The interfacing module and digital user station use respective hardware engines to communicate via said network.

  • Dynamic power cycling
    Patent number: 7689677
    Abstract: In a virtualized desktop system, a digital user station communicates with an interfacing module coupled to a target device via a network. The digital user station controls the power of the target device and the interfacing module by determining the power status of the interfacing module and sending a power control packet to the target device the interfacing module is coupled to.

  • Device and method for configuring a target device
    Patent number: 7555570
    Abstract: An interfacing module connected to a network. A target network device connected to the network. An interfacing module is associated with a target network device. An interfacing module is coupled to a peripheral port of a target network device. Interfacing module identification data is stored in a memory portion of the target network device. The network address of the target network device is determined. The network address of the interfacing module is determined. At a remote location the network address of the target network device is used to read the interfacing module identification data from the memory portion of the target device via the network.
