Abstract
A computing system and a human interface for the computing system. A first cable couples the computing system to a video monitor of the human interface, a second cable couples the video monitor to a keyboard of the human interface, a third cable couples the video monitor to a mouse of the human interface, a fourth cable couples the video monitor to a printer of the human interface, a fifth cable couples the video monitor to speakers of the human interface, a sixth cable couples the video monitor to a telephone of the human interface and a seventh cable couples the video monitor to a USB device of the human interface. The computing system propagates data for the various I/O device to the video monitor over the first cable and the video monitor propagates the data for the various I/O devices over respective ones of the second through seventh cables.
