Patent number: 8028108Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for implementing virtual keyboard video mouse (KVM) switching functionality using a processing device in communication with a memory device is provided. Keyboard, video, and mouse signals for a first computer are redirected to be carried over a standardized serial bus connecting the first computer to a second computer. Each of the keyboard, video, and mouse signals are carried at predetermined frequencies. The keyboard, video, and mouse signals on the second computer are identified and separated. The keyboard, video, and mouse signals are passed to an operating system on the second computer. The keyboard, video, and mouse signals are used by the operating system to manage the first computer.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2009Date of Patent: September 27, 2011Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Arun Batish, Phong Doan Ly, Jason Charles Myers, Paul Vu
