Centralized Input Device Sharing Configuration via Automatic File Distribution

The patent introduces a master device as an intermediary that centralizes the configuration process. Instead of manually configuring each device individually, the user configures sharing relationships on the master device, which then automatically distributes configuration files to slave devices. This mediator approach resolves the contradiction by improving operation convenience while maintaining configuration accuracy through centralized control.

The patent implements preliminary action by having the master device prepare and distribute configuration files to slave devices before actual sharing operations begin. The system proactively pushes configuration information to all participating devices, ensuring they are ready for immediate use. This eliminates the need for manual configuration on each device while ensuring configuration accuracy is maintained through automated distribution.

The patent incorporates feedback mechanisms where slave devices send device information back to the master device for verification. The master device analyzes received device information and confirms configuration details before finalizing the sharing setup. This feedback loop ensures that automatic configuration maintains reliability by verifying each step of the process rather than blindly executing automated actions.

The system implements self-service through automated configuration file generation and distribution. Once the user initiates the configuration process on the master device, the system automatically handles device discovery, information exchange, and configuration file deployment without requiring manual intervention on slave devices. This self-service approach maintains reliability through automated consistency checks while improving operation convenience.
