Output Interface Switching for Synchronized Media and USB Routing

The patent combines video interface switching and USB device switching into a single integrated switching mechanism. When a user switches video sources, the system automatically switches both the video signal path and the USB interaction data path, merging two separate switching operations into one unified action. This reduces the complexity of device switching while maintaining the ability to connect to multiple electronic devices through different interfaces.

The output device is designed with multi-functional interfaces that can handle both video data transmission and USB interaction data transmission. The switching mechanism is universal, capable of routing both types of data through the same control logic, allowing a single switching operation to manage multiple functions simultaneously. This universal switching approach simplifies the overall device switching complexity.

The system merges video source switching and USB connection switching into a single unified operation. When the user selects a new video source, the system automatically performs both the video path switching and the USB interaction data path switching simultaneously. This eliminates the need for separate manual operations while maintaining precise control over data streams through automated routing logic.

The switching system performs self-service by automatically managing the USB interaction data path based on the selected video source. Once the user chooses a video input, the system autonomously configures the corresponding USB connection routing without requiring additional user input. This self-service mechanism improves ease of operation while maintaining precise control over data stream routing.
