Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a system and method for enabling implementation of a secondary function of a universal serial bus (USB) device on a computer that the USB device is communicating with, wherein an operating system of the computer does not have a required driver which needs to be mapped to the USB device to enable implementation of the secondary function. The system involves a USB device which has the required driver for implementing the secondary function stored therein. The required driver can be supplied to the computer from the USB device using a control which selects the secondary function of the USB device.
