Embodiment
The present invention discloses a kind of method of upgrading the portable equipment operating function by the plug and play storage device, please refer to shown in Figure 2, at first, portable equipment has an operating system, a current version application program and a plurality of object, this object comprises data file, icon file, audio files or video files, and provides an extended interface with compatible plug and play storage device.Step 200 when operating system detects a upgraded edition application of plug and play storage device, provides a user as carrying out the conflict selection of current version application program with the upgraded edition application; Step 210, when the user selected the upgraded edition application, operating system was carried out the upgraded edition application and is covered the current version application program; Step 220 when carrying out arbitrary version application program, provides user's selectivity to expand one of plug and play storage device and expands object to portable equipment.In addition, the method that the present invention carried also can independently be suitable for the application of upgating object, is not must carry out just can carrying out the renewal of object after the step of updating of application program.When operating system detects a renewal version objects of plug and play storage device, provide a user as the selection that conflicts of carrying out current version object and renewal version objects; And when the user selected to upgrade version objects, operating system was carried out and is upgraded version objects covering current version object to portable equipment, can also automatically perform the step of this renewal version objects by the setting of portable equipment system certainly.
Utilize method of the present invention, the user does not need to use by browsing the plug and play storage device, after the plug and play storage device inserts in the portable equipment, can activate the use picture of this plug and play storage device automatically; The content that the plug and play storage device is comprised (renewal version objects), the upgraded edition application can be checked with system, when being compatible with this operating system or this content, this upgraded edition application system is compatible with application program in the portable equipment, system can provide as the prompting of selecting (showing as picture), again according to user's demand, with in the plug and play storage device perhaps the upgraded edition application be updated in the system of portable equipment, certainly also can whether activate the mechanism of automatically performing by default, when using plug and play storage device content, because programmed bibliographic structure in advance, so need not specify putting position, system will be updated to specified directory location automatically.
The present invention proposes the feasibility of the disclosed method of preferred embodiment explanation, but it is non-in order to limit range of application of the present invention, when detecting the plug and play storage device, inserts portable equipment, and find on the plug and play storage device program of automatically performing and relevant supporting paper are arranged, then begin to check file, if compliance with system specification, activation automatically performs mechanism, owing to use the non-integrated system of device of plug and play storage device, so this preferred embodiment comprises (one) plug and play storage device content design and (two) operating system demand, (three) portable equipment also has particular application interface etc. three partly to support the compatibility of plug and play storage device:
Now illustrate respectively and be exemplified below with regard to this three part:
(1) content design of plug and play storage device comprises:
1. execute file (root directory):
Two kinds of forms are arranged:
A. Portable execute file, for example Java
B. docudrama, for example Macromedia Flash
2. supporting paper (root directory): plug and play storage device content is described, execute file version and system requirements, application programming interfaces demand and version.
3. data file: the data that execute file is required.
(2) the operating system demand of plug and play storage device:
At different plug and play storage device contents different environment need be arranged, for example
1. when carrying out Java plug and play storage device, must there be Java VM in system.
2. when carrying out Flash plug and play storage device, must there be Macromedia Flash in system.
(3) the basic operation application programming interfaces (operating system provides) of portable equipment: enumerate following several functions partly:
1. provide and automatically perform file polling and have or not the application programming interfaces of expansion to use.
2. the access of plug and play storage device file only is provided.
3. provide the renewal of system for content, for example tablecloth, figure, sound, film, ICON (icon) or the like.
4. provide the renewal of system firmware to select.
5. the interface of system resource is provided, comprises:
Input media: enter key, touch-screen, file
Output unit: display, sound, file
Communication network: communications and liaison pipeline
Event notice: the periphery plug is informed
Other resource: system time, other input/output device
6. the renewal of operation-interface.
The plug and play storage device that the present invention carried has been supported multiple on the market different memory card form at present, for example CF, MicroDrive (Type I, Type II), SM, MMC, SD, MS, MS Pro or the like, but non-in order to limit range of application of the present invention.
The above is preferred embodiment of the present invention only, is not to be used for limiting practical range of the present invention; Every according to equivalence variation and modification that the present invention did, all contained by claim of the present invention.
