Abstract
A computer-implemented method of coupling a user interface device (UID) with a system device. The UID and system device are coupled with heterogeneous UID switches. The method includes providing a switch command server (SCS), which is in electronic communication with UID switches. The method also includes receiving at the SCS a switch/location agnostic connectivity indication (SLACI), which indicates a desire to provide a complete data path between the UID and system device. The method further includes performing protocol negotiation, using the SCS and SLACI to ascertain at least one available data path between the UID and system device. The method additionally includes formulating switch commands, which instruct the UID switches to connect the UID and system device to form the complete data path. The method yet further includes transmitting switch commands from the SCS to the UID switches, thereby causing UID switches to connect the UID with the system device.
