Abstract:
Various embodiments relate to systems and methods for simultaneously switching input image streams to output devices, while providing optional image processing functions on the image streams. Certain embodiments may enable multiple users/viewers to collaboratively control such systems and methods. Additionally, some embodiments may enable control by a set of computer input devices (e.g., keyboard and mouse) to switch between multiple computer systems, possibly by following the movement of a computer input device cursor, between virtual displays, as the cursor is controlled by the set of computer input devices.

Claim (Index 45):
A method for switching control between a plurality of computer systems, comprising:\n receiving a first image stream at a first image stream input interface configured to couple with a first computer system of the plurality of computer systems; using a switching matrix to map the first image stream from the first image stream input interface to a first virtual display being outputted through a central image stream output interface; receiving a second image stream at a second image stream input interface configured to couple with a second computer system of the plurality of computer systems; using the switching matrix to map the second image stream from the second image stream input interface to a second virtual display being outputted through the central image stream output interface; receiving input information from a central computer input device interface; and using the switching matrix to selectively map the control information from the central computer input device interface to a first computer input device interface or a second computer input device interface based on a location of an input cursor with respect to a first display region or a second display region, wherein the first display region and the second display region are being outputted through the central image stream output interface, wherein the first computer input device interface is configured to couple with the first computer and the second computer input device interface is configured to couple with the second computer system, wherein the first virtual display is in the first display region and the second virtual display is the second display region, and wherein the input cursor is controlled by way of the central computer input device interface.
