- KVM switches were originally devised as a way to consolidate the number of keyboards, mice, and monitors required in computer server rooms. Such switches allowed a single operator console, consisting of a keyboard, monitor, and mouse, to control a plurality of servers. Because a KVM switch emulates an actual keyboard, monitor, and mouse connected to the computer, control of the computer is at a fundamental level. In this way, operation of the computer can be controlled even at times before an operating system is loaded. For example, using a KVM console, an operator can modify the basic input/output system ("BIOS”) of a computer. In recent years, KVM switches have been network-enabled such that the switch may be controlled across a network, for example Ethernet, connection.
- BIOS basic input/output system
- Such devices are generally dubbed KVM over IP switches or IP KVMS (although IP is an acronym for Internet Protocol, here it is used as a general descriptor of network-enabled devices and is not intended to limit devices to the Internet Protocol only).
- IP is an acronym for Internet Protocol, here it is used as a general descriptor of network-enabled devices and is not intended to limit devices to the Internet Protocol only.
- ⁇ KVMs do not adequately address the less-structured environment outside of a computer room (server room). For example, many— if not most— home computer users do not adequately back-up their data. So, whereas a server system administrator may simply choose to reload a malfunctioning operating system from scratch, a person repairing a home computer must make attempts to protect the data on that computer. Furthermore, a remote server operator needing to have a cable unplugged, or a hardware component replaced (e.g., replace a failed hard drive) can count on knowledgeable local support to make the needed changes. At home, however, most computer owners do not have the knowledge to effectuate such changes and could benefit from detailed instructions from the remote operator.
- the present invention meets the above-described needs by providing a device able to be connected to a computer for remote control of the connected computer.
- the device having a processor, an interconnect port in electronic communication with the processor, a communication port in electronic communication with the processor, and a storage unit in electronic communication with the processor.

By pre-loading the storage unit 24 of the remote device 10 with software tools, the remote operator will have local (in this context, "local" means near the controlled-computer) access to tools such that the tools do not need to be transferred across the slower wide-area network link.
- the storage unit 24 may be used to back up data from the computer 100. For example, when the remote operator determines that service needed on the computer 100 may jeopardize the data on the computer 100, the remote operator may initiate a backup of the data.
- the backup configured such that the data is copied to the storage unit 24 of the remote device 10.
- transfer speeds will likely be substantially faster than a backup performed over a non-local (e.g., wide-area) link.
- the backup may be performed using the interconnect port 12 for data transfer.
- the backup may be performed using a data port 26 for data transfer, where the data port 26 is separate from the interconnect port 12.
- the backup may be performed by transferring data over a network connection of the computer 100 to the communication port 22 of the remote device 10.
- the remote device 10 may present the storage unit 24 to the computer 100 as a new "drive.” For example, when the remote device 10 is connected to the computer via a USB connection (by way of the interconnect port 12 or the data port 26), the remote device 10 may cause the storage unit 24 to appear to the computer 100 to be an external USB hard drive commonly used in the art. In this way, the computer 100 may access the storage space of the storage unit 24 to read data (e.g., software tools for repairing the computer) and/or write data (e.g., backup information).

- the camera 28 may be a video camera such as, for example, a USB-connected webcam.
- the camera 28 may be attached to the remote device 10 by way of a cable. By using a cable, the camera 28 may be moved independently of the remote device 10 so that a person local to the computer 100 (e.g., the owner of the computer) can move the camera 28 to show the remote operator different parts of the computer 100.
