DETECTION AND PROCESSING OF PRESELECTED IMAGE BLOCKS IN A KVM SYSTEM

摘要

A method, operable in a keyboard, video, mouse (KVM) system in which multiple target computers connected to a KVM switch are accessible via the KVM switch by a remote computer connected to the KVM switch, each of the target computers having a video output, and in which one or more preselected images are each associated with corresponding actions, the method includes monitoring the video output of at least some of the target computers connected to the KVM switch to search for one of the preselected images in the video output; and when one of the preselected images is detected in a video output of one of the target computers, taking the corresponding actions associated with that image.
