Abstract

PURPOSE:To simplify operation and to shorten loading time while enabling single loading by adding an operation system(OS) load function from a memory card. CONSTITUTION:An operator inputs an OS load source (a memory card or other devices) from an input part 6. In the case of loading from a memory card 8, a memory card writing means 4 loads an OS 9 by writing an OS 9 read out from the memory card 8 in a memory 7. In the case of loading from other devices, a reception means 3 receives an OS transmission device 10 transmitted by an OS transmission device 10, and the memory card writing means 4 writes it in the memory 7.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

The present invention relates to an OS loading system,
In particular, it relates to an OS loading method using a memory card.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In the conventional OS loading method, as shown in FIG. 2, when an OS is loaded on an information processing device 18, first, an OS sending device 22 having a sending means 23 and a reading means 24, Storage device 2 in which OS 26 is written
5 (for example, memory, floppy disk device, magnetic disk device, etc.) had to be connected via the data communication path 27. Next, the operator operates the OS transmitting device 22 and the information processing device 18 to start the OS loading process.

In this OS loading process, the reading means 24 of the OS transmitting device 22 is stored in the storage device 25. The OS 20 is read and the OS data is passed to the transmission means 23. The transmission means 23 sends this OS data to the data communication path 2
7 to the information processing device 18.

In the information processing device 18, the receiving means 19 is O
The S data is received and passed to the memory writing means 20. Then, the memory writing unit 20 transfers the OS data to the memory 2
Write to 1. In this way, by repeating the above operation, the OS 26 stored in the storage device 25 is loaded into the memory 21.

[0005]

The above-mentioned conventional OS loading method requires an OS transmitting device having an OS transmitting function, which limits the places where the OS can be loaded.

Further, it was necessary to learn how to operate the OS transmission device.

[0007]

The present invention relates to a method of loading OS data in an information processing apparatus, including receiving means for receiving OS data from an apparatus having an OS transmitting function via a data communication path, and receiving means. A memory card reading unit for reading the OS data previously written in the memory card is added to an information processing device having a memory writing unit for writing the OS data in the memory, and the memory writing unit is the memory card reading unit. It is characterized in that the read OS data is written in the memory.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an embodiment of the present invention.

The information processing apparatus 1 has an input means 2 for receiving an operator's input from an input section 6, a receiving means 3 for receiving OS data, a memory writing means 4 for writing OS data in a memory 7, and a memory card 8. And memory card reading means 5 for reading OS data from.

Further, the OS transmission device 10 includes an input unit 14
O from the input means 11 for receiving the operator's input from the transmission means 12, the transmission means 12 for transmitting the OS data, and the storage device 15.
The reading means 13 for reading S data is provided.

Next, the operation of this embodiment thus constructed will be described.

First, when the OS is loaded from the memory card, the operator operates the memory card 8 in which the OS 9 is stored.
Is set in the information processing apparatus 1, and then an OS load start command from the memory card is input from the input unit 6. The input unit 2 receives the command input by the operator and notifies the memory card reading unit 5 of the command. The memory card reading means 5 reads the OS 9 in the memory card 8
The S data is passed to the memory writing means, and the memory writing means 4 writes the OS data in the memory 7. Then, by repeating the above operation, the OS in the memory card 8
Load 9 into memory.

Next, when the OS is loaded from another device, the operator connects the information processing device 1 and the OS transmitting device 10 through the data communication path 17. Then, the information processing device 1
When a load start command and a communication condition (communication procedure, communication speed, etc.) from another device are input from the input unit 6 of the input unit 2,
Passes the communication condition to the receiving means 3. The receiving means 3 sets hardware conditions based on the communication conditions and waits for the reception of OS data. In addition, the operator uses the input unit 1 of the OS transmission device 10.
4 inputs an OS transmission command, communication conditions, and data of the storage device 15 in which the OS is stored. Input means 11
Passes the communication conditions to the transmission means 12 and the data of the storage device 15 to the reading means 13. The transmission means 12 sets the hardware conditions based on the communication conditions, and notifies the reading means 13 that the preparation for transmission has been completed. Then, the reading unit 13 reads the OS 16 in the storage device 15 designated by the data of the storage device 15, and passes it to the transmission unit 12 as OS data. The transmitting unit 12 transmits the OS data to the receiving unit 3 via the data communication path. The receiving means 3 passes the received OS data to the memory writing means 4. The memory writing unit 4 writes the OS data in the memory 7. Then, the above operation is repeated to load the OS 16 in the storage device 15 into the memory.

[0015]

As described above, according to the present invention, since the function of loading the independent OS from the memory card is added to the OS load from the conventional other device, the OS load from the place where the device for OS transmission is not set can be performed. It will be possible.

The OS load from the memory card is
This is simpler than the operation of the OS transmission device, and has the effect of shortening the load time.

Further, there is an effect that the OS loading can be simplified in terms of handling of the memory card and portability.
