HID or human interface device is a computer device that directly interacts with humans, and usually takes input from or delivers output to them. HID is a term given by Mike Van Flandern from Microsoft to propose the creation of Human Input Device working group to the USB committee. The main purpose of HID research is to enable innovation of computer input devices and to simplify installation processes for these devices. HID-defined devices provide self-describing packages with several data types and formats. A single HID driver parses data and supports dynamic association of application functionality with data I/O that enables rapid development and innovation and the diversification of new HIDs.
