Description

The dynamic switching method of the MTP of portable multimedia device and MSC pattern and device
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of multimedia transfer protocol (Media TransferProtocol--MTP) and a large amount of dynamic switching method that stores classification (Mass Storage Class--MSC) pattern of portable multimedia device, particularly relate to a kind of method that can handle MTP and MSC interface protocol simultaneously.
Background technology
(USB-universal serial bus) is the portable electronic product of interface with USB (universal serial bus), carries easily and advantage that the storage area is big owing to have, and be universal day by day, for example dish, digital camera, MP3 player or the like with oneself.The portable multimedia player (media player) that tradition has USB (universal serial bus) (USB) interface adopts USB Mass Storage Class (MSC) communications protocol (protocol) and computing machine to carry out the transmission of digital content (digital content).Wherein, USB Mass Storage Class (MSC) communications protocol is the defined a kind of standard set-up interface protocol of Universal Serial Bus Implementers Forum (USB-IF), it includes three kinds of subseries (Sub-classes)-bulk-only, CBI (Control/Bulk/Interrupt) and CB.
In addition, Microsoft (Microsoft) has formulated a kind of digital copyright protection mechanism in order to protect digital content (digital content), and Janus DRM (Janus digital rightmanagement) by name is DRM-10 again.And if hope is in Microsoft Media Player 10; go to download have Janus DRM protection mechanism digital content to portable multimedia player, then this portable multimedia player (portable media player) need to be supported MTP (the Media Transfer Protocol) specification by Microsoft formulated.
MTP is that Microsoft is that transmission has a kind of media transmission protocol that the digital content of Janus DRM protection mechanism is formulated; this MTP interface is based on the host-host protocol (for example Bulk-Only transportprotocol) of MSC and formulates order group (command sets) under it, can need content transmitted to be considered as an object (Object) to handle with whole.
Portable multimedia player (portable media player) is not only a multimedia player on using, and can be used as carry-on dish (removable disk), the user can download any file and be sent to another computing machine from personal computer, in order to support the Janus DRM specification of Microsoft, this portable multimedia player must be supported the MTP specification.And, only there is Microsoft WindowsXP that the MTP of support specification is arranged at present, other does not support the MTP specification as Windows 2000/ME/98SE, therefore, when the user wants to transmit file between different operating system (Operation System), then this portable multimedia player must be supported MTP and MSC specification simultaneously.
Existing portable multimedia player is in order to support these two kinds of specifications of MTP and MSC simultaneously, then need comprise two groups of USB interface, one of them is the MSC device, another is then to be the MTP device, and each group USB port needs the hardware circuit of oneself, as USB end points (USB endpoint) and first in first out district (FIFO) or the like, its shortcoming is to cause the hardware circuit cost of this portable multimedia player to heighten.
Summary of the invention
Technical matters to be solved by this invention is to provide a kind of multimedia transfer protocol (MTP) and a large amount of dynamic switching method and device that stores classification (MSC) pattern of portable multimedia device, can support two kinds of specifications of MTP and MSC simultaneously, increase the convenience on using.
Another object of the present invention provides a kind of multimedia transfer protocol (MTP) and a large amount of dynamic switching method and device that stores classification (MSC) pattern of portable multimedia device, make this portable multimedia device can share identical USB hardware resource, comprise identical USB interface (USB port), end points (Endpoint), data first in first out district (FIFO), program internal memory (Program memory), data-carrier store (Data memory) and file system (file system) or the like, support two kinds of specifications of MTP and MSC simultaneously, and reduce cost.
Another object of the present invention provides a kind of multimedia transfer protocol (MTP) and a large amount of dynamic switching method and device that stores classification (MSC) pattern of portable multimedia device, can be by software or hardware mode, dynamic MTP and the MSC pattern switched, and support MTP and two kinds of specifications of MSC to increase the convenience on using.
To achieve these goals, the invention provides multimedia transfer protocol (MTP) and a large amount of dynamic switching method that stores classification (MSC) pattern of portable multimedia device, its step includes:
At first, whether be MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) pattern, be in MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) pattern or MSC (Mass Storage Class) pattern to confirm this portable multimedia device if detecting this portable multimedia device; If MSC pattern, then use ATAPI layer (ATAPIlayer) to handle the file layout of MSC device interface, use the storage area of entity storage drive layer (physicalstorage driver layer) again by this portable multimedia device of this document form access; If MTP pattern, then earlier the file layout of MTP interface is converted to the FAT file layout by a MTP layer (MTP layer), handle through a FAT file layout layer (FAT file system layer) again, pass through the storage area of entity storage drive layer (physical storage driver layer) this portable multimedia device of access afterwards.
The multimedia transfer protocol (MTP) of a kind of portable multimedia device of the present invention and a large amount of dynamic switched system that stores classification (MSC) pattern, include: a universal serial bus device layer (USB devicelayer), for the device that connects and handle personal computer end usb host (USB Host) is provided; One MTP layer (MTP layer) is connected in this universal serial bus device layer, and the file layout of MTP interface is converted to the FAT file layout; One FAT file layout layer (FAT file system layer) is connected in this MTP layer, handles the FAT file layout; And an entity storage drive layer (physical storage driverlayer), be connected in this FAT file layout layer, by a storage area of this portable multimedia device of this document form access.
