Claim Text:
1. A computer-implemented method for multiple users simultaneously sharing a thin client computing device, the method comprising: automatically grouping a plurality of input or output (I/O) devices locally connected to a thin client computing device into a plurality of I/O device groups based on an order of enumeration of the plurality of I/O devices, wherein a first I/O device group in the plurality of I/O device groups is associated with a first group of I/O devices locally connected to the thin client computing device, and wherein a second I/O device group in the plurality of I/O device groups is associated with a second group of I/O devices locally connected to the thin client computing device; launching first and second instances of an application on a remote server; associating the first instance of the application running on the remote server with the first I/O device group on the thin client computing device to allow a first user using the first I/O device group to create a first remote session with the remote server via the thin client computing device; and associating the second instance of the application running on the remote server with the second I/O device group on the thin client computing device to allow a second user using the second I/O device group to create a second remote session with the remote server via the thin client computing device, the second remote session created simultaneously with the first remote session.
