ABSTRACT:
A method of sharing user resources in a computer system through a universal serial bus (USB) interface. The method may involve, not necessarily in this order, associating at least one USB device with a first user and at least another USB device with a second user; assigning the first user to a first USB port; assigning the second user to a second USB port; permitting the first user to temporarily assume control of the computer system through the first USB port for operation of the at least one USB device; and blocking the second user from access to the computer system while the first user has temporary control of the computer system.
