Abstract: The present invention discloses Virtual Card Mobile App (VCMA) as a medium for replacing real world commercial wallet cards. VCMA furnishes a consumer with a UVC service, which enables a consumer to easily obtain, manage and use Vendor Virtual Cards (VVC) that are offered by vendors. VCMA allows users to carry unlimited number of virtual cards from unlimited number of vendors. VCMA makes it much easier and more secure for a user to sign up, carry, manage and use a card. It also enables user to perform many functions, such as checking balances, checking rewards, searching specials, checking product info, ordering products, and making payments. User can not perform these functions using traditional physical cards. In the present invention, VCMA and virtual card services are managed by a central card management system (CCMS). CCMS also provides virtual card operation services to vendors, so that vendors can issue virtual cards, provide card services, and administer card services.

Abstract: A KVM switch system having a touch screen for interacting with multiple computers is disclosed. The KVM switch processes coordinate data from the touch screen and transfers the processed data to the controlled computer either as absolute mouse coordinate data or as relative mouse coordinate data depending on the operating system (Windows, Mac OS, SUN, etc.) and mouse data interface (USB, PS/2, etc.) used by the computer. Thus, the touch screen can interact with all computers connected to the KVM switch, achieving a multi-platform and multi-interface application without requiring device drivers on the computers. The KVM switch stores necessary parameters for each computer so that when switching from one computer port to another, or when the display resolution of the computer changes, processing of the touch screen data is automatically adjusted accordingly. The touch screen also works within the OSD of the KVM switch.
