多電腦切換器(Keyboard-Video-Mouse Switch;KVM Switch)係連接於用戶端中控裝置與多台被控電腦之間,使得使用者可以透過一組鍵盤、螢幕和滑鼠來控制多台的被控電腦。所謂的網路型多電腦切換器(Over-IP KVM)係一種具有網路介面之多電腦切換器,其經由網路將用戶端電腦耦接至一或多台被控電腦,讓使用者可由遠端遙控一或多台被控電腦。A keyboard-Video-Mouse Switch (KVM Switch) is connected between the central control device and the plurality of controlled computers, so that the user can control multiple devices through a set of keyboards, screens and mice. Charged computer. The so-called Over-IP KVM is a multi-computer switch with a network interface that couples the client computer to one or more controlled computers via the network, so that the user can Remotely control one or more controlled computers.

第1圖係為一習知網路型多電腦切換系統之示意圖。如第1圖所示,此系統包含一網路型多電腦切換器1及單體裝置(dongle)2。其中單體裝置又可稱為伺服器介面模組(server interface module)或電腦介面模組。網路型多電腦切換器1是一種具備網路介面之多電腦切換器,用戶端電腦3可藉其連接至與被控電腦4,使得用戶端電腦3之使用者可透過鍵盤和滑鼠等輸入設備來對多台被控電腦4進行控制,並從被控電腦4取得即時的影像與聲音。為延伸網路型多電腦切換器1與被控電腦4間之距離,並處理其間之鍵盤、滑鼠、影像及聲音訊號,必須在被控電腦4與網路型多電腦切換器1之間連接一個單體裝置2。此單體裝置2一端具有數個連接器,例如供被控電腦4之鍵盤滑鼠連接埠連接的PS/2連接器2a、供被控電腦4傳輸影像訊號之DB-15連接器2b及音頻信號端子(例如耳機插頭或RCA端)2c。單體裝置2之另一端具有RJ45介面2d,用以連接一條CAT-5纜線(未顯示)。在聲音訊號方面,此單體裝置2係用以對被控電腦4所輸出之類比聲音訊號作採樣並轉換為數位聲音訊號,而後再藉由網路型多電腦切換器1傳輸至用戶端電腦3。或者是,將用戶端電腦3傳來之數位訊號轉換為類比聲音訊號以輸入至該被控電腦4。Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a conventional network type multi-computer switching system. As shown in FIG. 1, the system includes a network type KVM switch 1 and a unitary device (dongle) 2. The single device can also be called a server interface module or a computer interface module. The network type KVM switch 1 is a multi-computer switcher with a network interface, and the client computer 3 can be connected to the controlled computer 4 so that the user of the user terminal 3 can pass through the keyboard and the mouse. The input device controls the plurality of controlled computers 4 and obtains instant images and sounds from the controlled computer 4. In order to extend the distance between the networked KVM switch 1 and the controlled computer 4, and handle the keyboard, mouse, video and audio signals between them, it must be between the controlled computer 4 and the networked KVM switch 1. Connect a single unit 2. The single device 2 has a plurality of connectors at one end, such as a PS/2 connector 2a for connecting the keyboard mouse of the controlled computer 4, a DB-15 connector 2b for transmitting video signals to the controlled computer 4, and audio. Signal terminal (such as headphone plug or RCA end) 2c. The other end of the unit device 2 has an RJ45 interface 2d for connecting a CAT-5 cable (not shown). In terms of the audio signal, the single device 2 is used to sample the analog audio signal output by the controlled computer 4 and convert it into a digital audio signal, and then transmit it to the user computer through the network type KVM switch 1. 3. Alternatively, the digital signal transmitted from the client computer 3 is converted into an analog audio signal for input to the controlled computer 4.

然而,在用戶端電腦3開啟有關聲音之裝置(例如揚聲器)後,即使該被控電腦4並未輸出類比聲音訊號,此單體裝置2仍會進行類比/數位之轉換及採樣以得到一數位聲音訊號,而網路型多電腦切換器1也就必須對單體裝置2傳來之數位聲音訊號進行處理,這樣的情況會對整個電腦切換系統造成無謂的負擔。並且,受限於單體裝置2之音頻信號端子2c的數量,頂多僅能對用戶端電腦3提供雙聲道之聲音訊號而無法提供例如5.1聲道等更高品質之聲音訊號。因此,實有對習知技術進行改良之必要。However, after the user computer 3 turns on the sound-related device (for example, a speaker), even if the controlled computer 4 does not output an analog sound signal, the single device 2 performs analog/digital conversion and sampling to obtain a digit. The voice signal, and the network type KVM switch 1 must also process the digital audio signal transmitted from the single device 2, which would impose a unnecessary burden on the entire computer switching system. Moreover, limited to the number of audio signal terminals 2c of the unit device 2, at most, only the two-channel audio signal can be supplied to the client computer 3, and a higher quality audio signal such as 5.1 channel cannot be provided. Therefore, there is a need to improve the conventional technology.

In addition, in the embodiment, the remote management device 12 first converts the first digital audio D 1 into a decoding and the like, and then converts it into a network packet via the processor 124 for output to the client computer 100.

在一較佳實施例中,此USB裝置控制器112還可依據通用序列匯流排協議對被控電腦200仿效出人機介面裝置(Human Interface Device;HID),使得被控電腦200亦將電腦介面模組11視為一USB人機介面裝置,而使用戶端電腦100可經由電腦介面模組11將鍵盤或滑鼠等輸入設備的控制訊號傳輸至被控電腦200而加以控制。被控電腦200與電腦介面模組11間之控制訊號的傳輸可藉由USB協定中之中斷(interrupt)傳輸方式來進行。In a preferred embodiment, the USB device controller 112 can also emulate a Human Interface Device (HID) on the controlled computer 200 according to the universal serial bus protocol, so that the controlled computer 200 also has a computer interface. The module 11 is regarded as a USB human interface device, and the client computer 100 can control the control signals of the input device such as a keyboard or a mouse to the controlled computer 200 via the computer interface module 11. The transmission of the control signal between the controlled computer 200 and the computer interface module 11 can be performed by an interrupt transmission method in the USB protocol.

在其他實施例中,此USB裝置控制器112還可以視需求依據通用序列匯流排協議對被控電腦200仿效出例如大量儲存裝置(Mass Storage Device)等其他裝置。當仿效出大量儲存裝置時,可以使得被控電腦200將電腦介面模組11視為一USB大量儲存裝置,而提供一虛擬媒體(virtual media)供其使用。此虛擬媒體係由用戶端電腦100之一實體硬碟機、光碟機或軟碟機等儲存裝置所映射(mapping)而成。使用者可在戶端電腦100上經由此虛擬媒體對被控電腦200進行例如開機或重灌軟體等工作。由遠端管理裝置12之製造商所提供之一應用程式會產生供用戶端電腦100之使用者操作此虛擬媒體之介面。In other embodiments, the USB device controller 112 can also emulate other devices such as a mass storage device (Mass Storage Device) on the controlled computer 200 according to the general sequence bus protocol. When a large number of storage devices are emulated, the controlled computer 200 can treat the computer interface module 11 as a USB mass storage device and provide a virtual media for its use. The virtual media is mapped by a storage device such as a physical hard disk drive, a CD player or a floppy disk drive of the client computer 100. The user can perform work such as booting or refilling the controlled computer 200 via the virtual media on the client computer 100. An application provided by the manufacturer of the remote management device 12 generates an interface for the user of the client computer 100 to operate the virtual media.

前述之USB音訊裝置、人機介面裝置及USB大量儲存裝置可由單一個USB裝置控制器所仿效,也可分別由數個不同的USB裝置控制器所仿效。例如可由某一USB裝置控制器仿效出USB音訊裝置;由另一USB裝置控制器仿效出人機介面裝置及/或大量儲存裝置。或者是,可由某一USB裝置控制器仿效出USB音訊裝置及人機介面裝置;由另一USB裝置控制器仿效出大量儲存裝置。或者是,可由某一(第一)USB裝置控制器仿效出USB音訊裝置;由另一(第二)USB裝置控制器仿效出人機介面裝置;由再一(第三)USB裝置控制器仿效出大量儲存裝置。本發明所屬技術領域中具有通常知識之人可由前述說明推導出其中所有可能的組合方式。當USB裝置控制器112之數量為複數個時,在電腦介面模組11的外觀上可看出前述USB連接器11a之數量也為複數個。The aforementioned USB audio device, human interface device and USB mass storage device can be emulated by a single USB device controller, or can be emulated by several different USB device controllers. For example, a USB device can be emulated by a USB device controller; another USB device controller emulates a human interface device and/or a large number of storage devices. Alternatively, a USB device can be emulated by a USB device controller and a human interface device; another USB device controller emulates a large number of storage devices. Alternatively, the USB audio device can be emulated by one (first) USB device controller; the human interface device can be emulated by another (second) USB device controller; and emulated by another (third) USB device controller A large number of storage devices are available. Those of ordinary skill in the art to which the invention pertains may derive from the foregoing description all possible combinations thereof. When the number of the USB device controllers 112 is plural, it can be seen from the appearance of the computer interface module 11 that the number of the aforementioned USB connectors 11a is also plural.

此外,在本實施例中,第一數位音訊D1 可為2聲道以上之聲音訊號,例如5.1聲道訊號,以配合高解析度(高傳真度)的音響設備;然而在其他實施例中,可以視需求採用其他類型的訊號。例如6.1或7.1或甚至更高的聲道訊號。本發明之遠端管理系統使用USB介面111作為聲音訊號之傳輸介面而直接自被控電腦200取得第一數位音訊D1 ,使得聲音訊號不必經過採樣與類比/數位轉換就能直接輸入遠端管理裝置12,且當被控電腦200不輸出數位音訊時,電腦介面模組11與遠端管理裝置12亦不會收到關於數位音訊之USB封包,降低了電腦介面模組11與遠端管理裝置12之負擔。另外亦可節省音頻信號端子之成本。In addition, in this embodiment, the first digital audio D 1 may be an audio signal of more than 2 channels, such as a 5.1 channel signal, to match a high resolution (high fax) audio device; however, in other embodiments Other types of signals can be used as needed. For example, 6.1 or 7.1 or even higher channel signals. The remote management system of the present invention directly uses the USB interface 111 as the transmission interface of the audio signal to obtain the first digital audio D 1 from the controlled computer 200, so that the audio signal can be directly input into the remote management without sampling and analog/digital conversion.
