Hopefully this is the right place to get this type of help.
Here’s my issue. I have what can be described as a never ending amount of computers I need to go into the BIOS, change a few settings, then run a program off a USB drive. It’s a real simple task but given I have to do this to a never ending amount, it’s time consuming.
My idea for a solution would be a separate computer with a video capture card that hooks up to a KVM switch and runs a custom piece of software. That software would look at the screen and depending what was there, would issue certain keystrokes. Example: it would constantly press F10 until BIOS showed up, then it would arrow over and see if ‘secure boot’ was active. if it was, it would issue one set of commands, if not it would move to a different set.

I figure the easiest way for it to see would be taking screen shots and comparing them to ones stored in the program since there is only a few things to be considered. That’s just what I thought as a solution, im not a programmer so what do I know.
My main problem is that I don’t even know how to begin to find someone that can make my idea real. I know there’s people and companies that offer that as a service, but I don’t really know what kind of service im even looking for. Hopefully I made all that semi-clear. Can any one help point me in a direction?
