Abstract:
A computer-implemented process for redirecting signals generated by a computer input device from one computing device in a computing space to another computing device in the space, said process comprising using a computer to perform, for each different type of input device whose signals are to be redirected, the following process actions:establishing a set of one or more initiating preconditions specifying the circumstances under which the signals generated by the type of input device under consideration are to be redirected from said one computing device to said other computing device in the computing space, said set of one or more initiating preconditions comprising a precondition that the input device must not be of a particular configuration whose signals are incompatible for input to said computing device; determining if the one or more initiating preconditions have been satisfied for any input device of the type under consideration; and whenever said one or more initiating preconditions are satisfied for an input device of the type under consideration, redirecting the signals generated by the input device from said one computing device to said other computing device.
