Method and apparatus for providing a graphical user interface for a distributed switch having multiple operators
First Claim
1. A method for providing to a user a graphical user interface for a distributed switch, used by a plurality of operators being longed into the distributed switch, the method, comprising:
- (a) receiving a plurality of operator identifiers associated with the plurality of operators and login information associated with each operator identifier, the plurality of operators including a human user and an automated system;
(b) displaying, through the graphical user interface, the plurality of operator identifiers and their associated login information;
(c) receiving, through the graphical user interface, a user response associated with a first operator identifier from the plurality of operator identifiers; and
(d) modifying a login state of a first operator from the plurality of operators, the first operator being associated with the first operator identifier from the plurality of operator identifiers based on the user response received in said step (c).

Abstract
A graphical user interface (GUI) for a distributed switch is provided to a user; a set of operators being logged into the distributed switch. The set of operators can include a human operator and an automated system. A set of operator identifiers associated with the set of operators and login information associated with each operator identifier is received. The set of operator identifiers and their associated login information is displayed through the graphical user interface. A user response associated with a first operator identifier from the set of operator identifiers is received through the graphical user interface. A login state of a first operator from the set of operators is modified; the first operator is associated with the first operator identifier from the set of operator identifiers based on the received user response.
