  • Patent number: 8539054
    Abstract: A remote interface apparatus comprises a network interface, a peripheral device interface, an interface-providing mechanism and a network address setting mechanism. The network interface is configured to communicate with a remote host. The peripheral device interface is configured to connect to a peripheral device. The interface-providing mechanism cooperates with the network interface to transfer the peripheral device interface into a remote peripheral device connection port of the host. The network address setting mechanism is configured to automatically obtain a network address upon a connection to the network, and to broadcast information of the peripheral device interface.

  • Publication number: 20100146104
    Abstract: A system for detecting a remote apparatus includes a host and a remote interface device connected to the host via a network. The remote interface device includes at least one serial port configured for connecting to a serial port apparatus. The remote interface device detects the connection status of the serial port using a filter rule provided by the host. When the connection status is changed, the remote interface device sends an event notification to the host. The host adds or removes virtual port objects, which are used by application software and are configured to control the remote apparatus, according to the received event notification. Using the mechanism described above, the host can have remote plug and play feature on a remote serial port apparatus.
