Unified Computing Device Interface for Choosing from a Plurality of Source Entities for Association with a Plurality of Destination Entities

摘要

Disclosed herein is a unified graphical user interface for computing devices, enabling configuration of multiple source entities and destination entities for purposes of signal routing, options selections, and variably-mixed combinations of options. Source entities may be signals such as audio, video, timing sources, voltages or other non-binary sources. Destinations may be any signal input port or channel, connection node, or a form of result of combinations of options, such as in vending or manufacturing. Icons representing one or more source entities, and one or more destination entities are associated by user actions in the interface to establish the association to be executed. Embodiments described include those suited to both cursor-controlled devices and touchscreen-controlled devices.
