(driver update processing)
Fig. 2 is used for the precedence diagram that describes is handled in driver update.As carrying out established procedure of the present invention and making the order of device 100 work that this order is described according to its control.
After device 100 established procedures of the present invention in being installed on it are performed, when detecting regulation incident etc., are used for definite oneself execution environment of program execution enviroment and determine that the request of information sends to server 200 (S100) by network N comprising.As the regulation incident, have from indicating input, the arrival of the predefined moment etc. with the transmission of device 100 input medias that are connected.And, determine information as execution environment, be useful on the type name of determining device 100 information, be used to determine the information of the operating system of installation in device 100 etc.They both may be used alone, can also be used in combination.
The request (S101) that server 200 receives from device 100, and retrieval is determined the relevant information (S102) of installable driver (being equivalent to installation candidate of the present invention) under the definite program execution enviroment of information with execution environment contained in by this request from the specified data storehouse.Specified data storehouse internal memory contains the corresponding relation that execution environment is determined information (information that for example is used for determining the information of type name and is used for definite operating system) and the information (driver title etc.) relevant with driver.Therefore, server 200 can be retrieved (selection) and determine the relevant information of the corresponding driver of information (driver title etc.) with this execution environment by determining that from contained execution environment in the request of device 100 information and specified data storehouse contrast.This server 100 provides the existing server of the driver supervisor that can be retrieved by user self.In the present invention, server should be had now, the system of the driver supervisor renewal of the device 100 that utilizes network can be created at low cost by utilizing.
When retrieving the information relevant with driver, server 200 generates list of drivers, and sends it to the device 100 (S103) of request source.List of drivers is the tabulation that comprises the information relevant with installable driver under the program execution enviroment of device 100.As shown in Figure 2, as the information relevant with list of drivers, have: the driver title, the driver download URL (URL(uniform resource locator): Uniform Resource Locator), and the Read Me file download URL corresponding with this driver etc.In addition, driver is meant the program that is used for the extended operation system and can uses various peripherals etc.And Read Me file is meant the so-called text that various information such as the function relevant with its corresponding driver, applicable device, points for attention, correcting history are described with so-called text.
Consider to adopt the whole bag of tricks to judge whether the driver that should upgrade is arranged.With reference to Fig. 3 one example of this decision method is described.Fig. 3 is used for installing the process flow diagram that 100 determination processing describes.Fig. 4 and Fig. 3 content are roughly the same.
As a result, (S1043: "No"), this Read Me file was not regarded as upgating object (S1044) when the Read Me file of downloading was not new when being judged to be just now.On the other hand, (S1043: whether "Yes"), installing 100 own judgements has the Read Me file of handling (S1045) has been installed when to be judged as this ReadMe file be new.The result, when being judged to be (S1045: "Yes") when the Read Me file of handling is installed, device 100 this Read Me file and open day of the Read Me file of downloading just now (all be control code is decoded resulting) compare (S1046), and judge whether newly candidate's (Read Me file of Xia Zaiing just now) (S1047) be installed.
As a result, install when being judged to be that (S1047: "No"), this installation candidate was not regarded as upgating object (S1048) when the candidate was not newer.On the other hand, candidate when new is installed (S1047: "Yes"), device 100 judges carried out the control code that decoding obtains from the Read Me file of downloading just now whether customizing messages (fileinfo) is arranged (S1049) when being judged to be.As a result, if customizing messages (S1049: "Yes"), then install 100 and judge whether the information (S1050) identical with this customizing messages is arranged in set file is arranged.As a result, (S1050: "Yes"), then this installation candidate is not regarded as upgating object (S1051) if identical information is arranged.On the other hand, if there is not identical information (S1052), then this installation candidate is regarded as upgating object (S1052).Install 100 pairs of whole Read Me files of in S1040, downloading and carry out the processing of above-mentioned S1041～S1052.As mentioned above, whether decidable has the driver that should upgrade, and, can select the driver that should upgrade that is.
When having selected the driver that should upgrade, device 100 for example as shown in Figure 5 shows with this to be regarded as the relevant information (driver title etc.) of whole installation candidate drivers of upgating object (S106).Then, device 100 is waiting under the situation of pressing the renewing button shown in this figure (S107) by clicking, visit is installed candidate's driver download URL (being included in the control code of list of drivers or Read Me file) (S108), and download corresponding driving program (S109, S110).Then, device 100 is carried out the processing (S111) of the driver that (renewal) this download is installed.
As described above, in the present embodiment, server 200 is chosen in installable driver under the program execution enviroment of device 100, and sends to device 100 with the list of drivers form.Therefore, and do not carry out this selection, and the situation that whole drivers send to device 100 is compared, can reduce the traffic on the network.And, driver is installed realized robotization.
In addition, in the present embodiment, be that driver is described to the candidate is installed, yet the invention is not restricted to this.For example, the candidate being installed also can be refresh routine (for example having made the application program of edition upgrading etc.).
(being transformed into the processing of not visible character string)
Below, with reference to accompanying drawing the processing that is transformed into not visible character string is described.
This processing becomes not visible character string to control code (being equivalent to provisioning information of the present invention) conversion (coding) and adds or be described in the Read Me file (being equivalent to regulation file of the present invention).
(conventional art)
In the past, in order to realize the steady operation of personal computer, behind the exploitation fixed software, login was in server was used in issue.Afterwards, client initiatively visits the server of having logined fixed software in order to confirm whether correction is arranged.If done login then, then after manually downloading, correction is installed in the system.
(problem that invention will solve)
Yet, modification method in the past is the method that makes client confirm fixed software and download this fixed software, thereby client must always be careful the maintenance of personal computer, and, must be suitable for the information accurately indication of personal computer of oneself and the choice of necessary fixed software to the issue of fixed software with server and select.Like this, client must have to a certain degree the knowledge relevant with personal computer, and for ordinary customer, it is difficult carrying out these operations.Therefore, be not utilized effectively, become client's the low reason of support quality and satisfaction at client's support information.
For fear of these problems, and in order to create the automatic download that realizes fixed software and the system of installation, must the different private server of newly developed and above-mentioned existing fixed software issue usefulness server, there is the very high problem of cost of development.And have following problem: along with the increase that the upkeep operation of the support side that must safeguard two systems (server) is born, maintenance cost also increases.And, in order to be distributed to client automatically, operation from client's user login etc. is necessary, as a result, have following problem: the support scope is restricted, and causes supporting that quality judge low and device sales company is low, in addition, if enclose order in client reads file, then client can see the symbol that the meaning is not clear, causes the reduction of client's confusion and support quality.
Herein, purpose is will be by control code (being equivalent to provisioning information of the present invention) conversion (coding) being become not visible character string and additional or be described in as client and read in the Read Me file (being equivalent to regulation file of the present invention) with document, makes read client with document of reading client cannot see the symbol failed to understand of looking like etc.
(being encoded into the processing of not visible character string)
Below, with reference to accompanying drawing the method that provisioning information is encoded into not visible character string is described.Fig. 6 is used for process flow diagram that the method that provisioning information is encoded into not visible character string is described.
This coding is by the regulation computing machine being read in and execution has control code (being equivalent to provisioning information of the present invention) is encoded into the function of not visible character string and control code is attached to client and reads and realize with the established procedure of the function in the document (being Read Me file) herein.
As shown in Figure 7, as control code, driver name, detailed description are arranged ... open day etc.When coding, the regulation computing machine is at first set the stem character string (S201) of (or output) control code.The stem character string is different along with object language.For example, if the cts character string then set in Japanese, if English, then set the character string (with reference to Fig. 7) of cts_eng.This stem character string is replaced (coding) and is become Tab (being equivalent to the of the present invention the 1st not visible character) and half-angle Space (empty every) (being equivalent to the of the present invention the 2nd not visible character), and by additional and be described in client for example and read and use assigned position in the document.
Herein, coding step is described.The regulation computing machine makes up resulting not visible character string to automatically issue with Tab and half-angle Space according to pre-defined rule with control code (being equivalent to provisioning information of the present invention) conversion (coding) one-tenth of order etc.For example, Shift JIS full-shape " A " is expressed as " 8260 " with 16 system numbers, is expressed as " 1,000 0,010 0,110 0000 " with binary number.Therefore, make Tab corresponding if be predetermined with " 1 " of binary number, and make half-angle Space corresponding with " 0 " of binary number, then can become not visible character string [Tab] [Space] [Space] [Space] [Space] [Space] [Tab] [Space] [Space] [Tab] [Tab] [Space] [Space] [Space] [Space] [Space] to Shift JIS full-shape " A " conversion (coding).
As mentioned above, the stem string encoding is become not visible character string, then, the regulation computing machine afterwards, as mentioned above, becomes not visible character to each character code in the additional identifier corresponding with it of the beginning of each control code.For example, added the identifier corresponding " DN: " (with reference to Fig. 6) afterwards, each character code has been become not visible character with it in the beginning of driver name, and additional or for example be described in that client reads with the back (S201) of the stem character string in the document.Repeat this coding, up to arriving last control code (being open day) herein (S203).
When the coding of last control code has been finished, the afterbody character string (S204) of regulation computer settings (output) control code.The afterbody character string is all identical to all language, sets for example " end: ".This afterbody character string is encoded by above-mentioned, and additional or for example be described in that client reads with the back of the last control code in the document (being open day) herein.
(decoding processing of not visible character string)
Below, with reference to accompanying drawing the method that the control code that is encoded into not visible character string is decoded into original control code is described.Fig. 8 is used for process flow diagram that the method that the control code that is encoded into not visible character string is decoded into original control code is described.
This decoding is to realize by an established procedure that for example makes device 100 read in and carry out to have the function that the control code that is encoded into not visible character string is decoded.
The device 100 stem character string (S300) that retrieval is encoded from regulation file (the Read Me file that for example, comprises the not visible character string (with visual character string) that generates by above-mentioned coding).If can not retrieve, end process (S300: "No") then.On the other hand, (S300: "Yes"), established procedure is extracted its next line out decode (S301) under the situation that can retrieve the stem character string.This decoding is to realize by carrying out the processing opposite with above-mentioned coding.Be under the situation of afterbody character string that (S301: "Yes"), thinking that decoding all finishes, established procedure finishes decoding processing at this decoded result.
On the other hand, not (S301: "No") under the situation of afterbody character string at decoded result, judge 3 characters of beginning whether be driver name identifier " DN: " (S302), if driver name identifier " DN: " (S302: "Yes"), then the character setting since the 4th character is become driver name (S303).Repeat this decoding, up to arriving last control code (being open day) (S304～S307) herein.Then, be under the situation of afterbody character string at decoded result, established procedure finishes decoding processing (S301: "Yes").
As described above, control code is transformed into Tab and half-angle Space is made up resulting not visible character string according to pre-defined rule (for example Tab is binary number " 1 ", and half-angle Space is binary number " 0 ").Then, comprise this not visible character string Read me file of (with visual character string) by this not visible character string being added or is described in the Read Me file, generating.
Therefore, can make read client with document of reading client cannot see symbol that the meaning fails to understand etc.That is, can use the visual former foundation structure of recognizing of user to provide provisioning information, and can provide and the diverse information of document to program user according to this information with the insensible form of user.And, be described owing to can be in a client reads with document visual character string and not visible character string be mixed, thereby for the provider of control code, only need be attached to client and read with in the document, just can be very easy to and provide simply control code.And, do not rely on client operating, can stably the client system be remained on last state.And, because the degree of stability of daily system improves, thereby can stop the hang-up or the deadlock of the system that client do not expect in advance, therefore, can prevent the disappearance of customer data in advance.And, since can feel all the time system sales manufacturer support just at one's side, thereby when using system, have relieved sense.
In addition, in the present embodiment, to provisioning information being decoded into invisible information and it is additional or be described in the regulation file and be described together with visual information, yet the invention is not restricted to this.For example, can provisioning information not decoded yet, and provisioning information is directly described (adding) with the state of visual information in the regulation file together with visual information.Like this,, only need be attached to client and read, provisioning information (control code etc.) just can be provided with in the document for the provider of provisioning information (control code etc.).
(visit dispersion treatment 1)
Below, the processing of the method that the load that the delivery cumulative rises that make because of device (personal computer) is applied to maintenance system with reference to accompanying drawing disperses describes.Fig. 9 and Figure 10 are used for process flow diagram that the processing that the visit that is used to make from multiple arrangement 100 disperses is described etc.
Each installs 100 and confirms maintenance history and judge whether be to go back right and wrong first (S400) for the first time.If right and wrong first (S400: non-first) were then calculated through number of days=system creation day (being equivalent to the Base day of the present invention)-utilization day, calculate through number of days (S401).On the other hand, if first (S400: first), then after the initialization of having carried out maintenance history (S402) with non-identical for the first time, calculates through number of days (S401).
Then, when surpassing predetermined threshold through number of days, device 100 is just the moment of (late come) is set the moment (S403～S411) that server 200 grades is carried out visit next time by network N for late than moment of last visit.Specifically, if through number of days＜first quarter moon (threshold value) (S403: "Yes"), then safeguarding that day (visit next time is constantly) set (S404) behind 3 orders for.And, if through (S405: "Yes"), then maintenance day (visit next time is constantly) is set for 1 all backs (S406) in number of days＜February (threshold value).And, if through (S407: "Yes"), then maintenance day (visit next time is constantly) is set for 2 all backs (S408) in number of days＜March (threshold value).And, if through number of days＜half a year (threshold value) (S409: "Yes"), then safeguard day (visit next time constantly) set 1 month for after (S410).And, if through number of days surpass 6 months (S409: "No"), then safeguard day (visit next time constantly) set 2 months for after (S411).Device 100 is at the above-mentioned moment access server 200 that sets (specific URL) etc., if existence such as driver, then with its automatic download.
As described above, according to above-mentioned visit dispersion treatment, when surpassing predetermined threshold, just the moment slower than the moment of last visit set for by network N server 200 grades are carried out the moment of visit next time, thereby can make visit decentralized through number of days.
(visit dispersion treatment 2)
Below, the processing that is used to visit is disperseed is described.
This processing is used to make from multiple arrangement 100 decentralized in the automatic query requests (visit) that time proximity takes place.
(conventional art)
In recent years, monitor during certain and robotization that the system requirements status surveillance inquired about and state are kept.At this moment, produce object apparatus to by the request of the automatic Query Information of ISSUER (visit), and in the method for specifying particular day and special time, inquire about and concentrate on special time, produced very big difference when peak value and during non-peak value.For this reason, must make the inquiry (visit) that concentrates on special time decentralized, alleviate at special time and concentrate the load that applies.
Must during certain, obtain under the situation of information, when the user begins use device (perhaps in preassigned time specific date), under the situation of carrying out validation of information (visit), inquiry (visit) concentrates on particular day and time period, so between given period, be absorbed in extreme high load capacity, usually can not be stood the sharply load of increase by the ISSUER, and the system that is absorbed in stops., although the information that obtains during certain does not just need the information of instant emergency, yet owing to specified particular day and special time, thereby inquiry unnecessarily concentrates on particular day and special time.
Figure 11 and Figure 12 illustrate typically example in the past.To be installed in automonitor in the device 100 ' and backbone system as an example, basic point a point when the automonitor in being installed on device 100 ' begins, the program that is installed in the N table apparatus is all inquired about to the backbone system at a point equally together, the same high load capacity (response and instant processing the from the N platform are asked) that forms Request Processing at a point.
Therefore, even under the situation of the automatic inquiry that does not have instant emergency, also occur in the problem that particular day and special time (a point) are handled request immediately.And, take place at time proximity must be accepted this request simultaneously by the ISSUER under the situation of a large amount of automatic query requests.
Herein, as shown in figure 13, even case takes place at roughly the same time on date a point, b point in the N table apparatus, also not instant (a point, the b point) request inquiry, but passed through a ' point of stipulated time, b ' point carries out query requests (visit), purpose is to make query requests (visit) decentralized.
Below, with reference to accompanying drawing the processing that is used to visit is disperseed is described.Figure 14 is used for process flow diagram that the processing that is used to make visit to disperse is described.
When device 100 start in system (S500), be basic point with the time of origin of inquiring about case, the time of having passed through the stipulated time from basic point to asked (visit) by the ISSUER.Specifically, device 100 is obtained the time (the starting moment that is equivalent to program of the present invention) that automatic maintenance program is loaded, and be basic point with it, be scheduled to (setting) (S501) according to the request time that the time of confirming to maintenance system request up-to-date information is carried out obtaining after decentralized from this basic point time.Inquiry start time (having carried out decentralized request time) obtains by the computing following formula.
The basic point time the time+(second * coefficient 1 of the branch of basic point time+basic point time) divide+millisecond+shift time of (basic point time second+millisecond * coefficient 2 of basic point time) second+basic point time
According to this formula, for example, suppose the basic point time be 8: 40: 00 000 millisecond, coefficient 1 is 3, coefficient 2 is 0.18, shift time be 0: 0: 0 000 millisecond, then can be distributed to (decentralized degree) in about 3 hours to the request that in 1 minute, takes place.In addition, by adjusting coefficient 1, can adjust the decentralized time.Figure 15 and Figure 16 each basic point time is shown and according to the carrying out of this basic point time institute's computing the relation of decentralized request time.
Automatically maintenance program is waited for up to predetermined request time (S502), when arriving predetermined request time (S503), to maintenance system (during system) request maintenance information (S503).Maintenance system is according to request, to device 100 provide maintenance information (S504, S505).Device 100 is according to the processing (S506) that puts rules into practice from the response contents of this maintenance system.
As described above, for the device that monitors and inquire about during certain, can be distributed to the automatic query requests that status surveillance and state are kept from time proximity the scope of hope.Therefore, can suppress simultaneous request amount, can make peak volume decentralized, and can suppress foundation structure exploitation and the cost of keeping usefulness very low.
In addition, in the present embodiment, to being that basic point is illustrated, yet the invention is not restricted to this with system starting and time of loading automatic maintenance program.For example, can be basic point with the time of this time+α (for example 20 minutes), can with other times basic point also.
And, in relating to maintenance system can not the situation of download time section (for example the morning 3 is up at 5 o'clock in the morning) under, also can be with time that should the time period and originally predetermined request time addition.Like this, just can not visit maintenance system in the time period that can not download.
The present invention can adopt other various forms to implement under the situation that does not deviate from its spirit or principal character.Therefore, above-mentioned embodiment nothing but example, is not a limitation of the invention in all respects.
According to the present invention, can only download the installation candidate of the program execution enviroment that concerning certain computing machine, is suitable for oneself.
