A system includes multiple KVM switches, multiple user consoles and a recording system connected via a network. Each KVM switch facilitates interactions between user consoles and selected servers connected its server ports. The KVM switch transmits keyboard, mouse and video data exchanged between user consoles and servers, and administrative data, to the recording system. The recording system records the keyboard, mouse, video and administrative data, and detects trigger events based on such data. Trigger events include predefined keywords, mouse operations, video images, user IDs and server IDs, or combinations thereof. When a trigger event is detected, the recording system automatically transmits monitoring information to an administrative console via the network. The monitoring information may include combined video data containing information about keyboard and mouse actions superimposed on desktop images. The administrative console may also request specific recorded data for review. The recording system may employ a master-slave configuration.

System and method for recording and monitoring user interactions with a server

Disclosed is a keyboard-video-mouse switch capable of detecting keyword input and recording video data from a computer and keyboard input data from a console and method thereof. The keyboard-video-mouse switch includes a keyword filter and a capture unit. The keyword filter detects whether a predetermined keyword is inputted from the console into the computer and the capture unit records video data if the predetermined keyword is detected. Moreover, the capture unit may record keyboard input data for a complete monitor. The keyboard-video-mouse switch of the present invention further includes an alarm and a keyword database. The alarm will alarm an administrator when the predetermined keyword is detected. The keyword database stores data of keystroke combinations, which is defined as predetermined keyword data for at least one input method.

KVM switch capable of detecting keyword input and method thereof

A keyboard-video-mouse (KVM) switch and switching method thereof are disclosed. A KVM switch for switching among a plurality of computers includes a movement detector, control unit, and a switch unit. The movement detector detects a movement of a mouse to generate a movement signal. The control unit receives the movement signal from the movement detector and generates a control signal according to the movement signal. The switch unit switches the computers based on the control signal. The KVM performs switch operation among a plurality of computers by a switching threshold value according to a movement distance of a mouse during a set time period.
