Abstract:
1. A system for providing wireless monitoring and control of remote devices, said system comprising: a plurality of first transceivers each having a first wireless communications device and each said first transceiver being coupled to a user station comprising a keyboard, a video monitor and a cursor control device for receiving signals from said keyboard and said cursor control device; and a plurality of second transceivers each having a second wireless communications device and each said second transceiver being coupled to at least one of said remote devices for receiving video data from said remote devices and for transmitting said video data to a respective first transceiver over a wireless network, wherein each of said first and second wireless communication devices is configured to condition keyboard-video-mouse signals to operate in a peer-to-peer network, thereby enabling ones of said user stations to monitor and control ones of said remote devices directly without using a central switch to control connection between any one of said first transceivers and said second transceivers; and wherein each of said second transceivers is configured to receive a connection request message over a broadcast channel from one of said first transceivers coupled to a first one of the user stations, and to transmit a denial message when the at least one remote device coupled to said second transceiver is under the control of another one of the user stations.
