Abstract

See full text

A method of multi-user computing comprises detecting, by processing structure of a host computing device running a first operating system, devices in communication with the host computing device for supporting an additional user. The devices comprise a multiseat connection device, and at least one peripheral input device and at least one peripheral display device. The devices are configured to enable a user to interact with the host operating system. The method further comprises generating, by the processing structure, an instance of a second operating system; assigning, by the processing structure, the multiseat connection device, and supporting devices housed therein to the second operating system; and configuring, by the processing structure, device drivers running within the second operating system for supporting any of the supporting devices and the peripheral devices in communication with the multiseat connection device, for enabling the additional user to use the second operating system.
