Abstract
A system and method that identifies and effectuates communication between a connectable client and a wireless human interface device. The wireless human interface device utilizes technologies to abstract the complexities of IP based wired and wireless networks to provide mechanisms to easily discover, associate, utilize and diagnose the wireless human interface device. Through the ensuing abstraction the wireless human interface device can be associated with an unlimited number of connectable networked clients or hosts thus eliminating the requirement of analog switch boxes to connect human interface devices to each connectable host or client, and further providing for the control of local and/or Internet based hosts or clients.
