  • Patent number: 11285381
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides for the dynamic mapping of functions within a content development application to a control surface including a plurality of distinct modular input consoles. The system includes a console controller that is configured to monitor usage of the content development application by the user and to dynamically control the mapping of functions to the control surface based on the contextual operation of the content development application. The console controller can determine the functions that are to be mapped to the control surface based on the context of the application and the functions that are prioritized for use by a user of the content development application.
