PARTITIONING OF COMPOUND OR COMPOSITE USB DEVICES IN A REMOTE USB ENVIRONMENT

摘要

A system and method are provided for partitioning compound or composite USB devices in a remote USB environment. A first computer host has USB remoting logic and USB device partitioning logic. The USB remoting logic is configured to cause a USB device attached to the first computer host to be accessible to resources running on a second or third computer host. When a compound or composite USB device is connected to the first computer host, the USB device partitioning logic presents a first virtual USB device to the second computer host and a second virtual USB device to the third computer host. The first and second virtual USB devices each contain different parts from a partition of the set of USB functions that are present in the underlying compound or composite USB device.
