Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Systems and methods related to providing peripheral device functionality is described herein. In one embodiment, a method of operating a host computing device is described. The method includes communicatively coupling with a keyboard and querying the keyboard for a descriptor. Receiving the descriptor from the keyboard, wherein the descriptor includes data representative of a language, layout, and key mappings for the keyboard. Storing the data from the descriptor at the host and publishing strings for proper translation and interpretation of input received from the keyboard.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A method of operating a host computing device, the method comprising: communicatively coupling with a keyboard; receiving a descriptor from the keyboard, wherein the descriptor includes data representative of a language, a layout, and key mappings that describe one or more alternate functionalities of the keys, the descriptor enabling the keyboard to self-identify to the host computing device; in response to receiving the descriptor, automatically…
