Detailed Description
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an image file creating apparatus according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. It should be understood that the example of fig. 1 is for convenience of illustration only and is not intended to limit the present invention.
Referring to fig. 1, the image file creating apparatus 100 includes a storage device 20 and a processor 10. The image document creation apparatus 100 may be a local or remote server that can communicate with the Internet. For example, the image file creation apparatus 100 may be a server platform such as a general desktop computer, a notebook computer, a tablet computer, and the like.
The storage device 20 may be any type of fixed or removable Random Access Memory (RAM), read-only memory (ROM), flash memory (flash memory), Solid State Drive (SSD), or the like, or any combination thereof. In the exemplary embodiment, the storage device 20 is used for storing an input module 22, a download module 24, an image file creating module 26 and a database 28.
The Processor 10 is coupled to the storage device 20, and the Processor 10 may be a Central Processing Unit (CPU) having a single core or multiple cores, or other programmable general purpose or special purpose Microprocessor (Microprocessor), Digital Signal Processor (DSP), programmable controller, Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC), or other similar devices or combinations thereof. In the present embodiment, the processor 10 is configured to access and execute the modules recorded in the storage device 20, so as to implement the image file making method according to the present embodiment.
In the present exemplary embodiment, an Original Equipment Manufacturing (OEM) end determines Software such as an operating system, a driver, and an application installed in an electronic Product according to a Software Content List (SLC) of the electronic Product provided by a Product Manager (Product Manager), and creates an image file (also referred to as a recovery CD, RCD) common to the plurality of electronic products and an image file (also referred to as a Software CD, SCD) corresponding to a difference between the plurality of electronic products by using the image file creating apparatus 100. After the OEM end completes the production of the image file, the OEM end may provide the image file to an Original Design Manufacturing (ODM) end or the ODM end may download the image file from the image file production apparatus 100. Here, the electronic product is various types of electronic devices such as a notebook computer, a desktop computer, a mobile device, a tablet computer, and a printer. Then, the ODM side decompresses the image file onto the corresponding electronic product to be sold for installation and configuration, thereby completing the production of the electronic product.
FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a method for creating an image file according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention. Referring to fig. 1 and fig. 2, the method of the present embodiment is applied to the image file creation apparatus 100, and the detailed process of the method of the present embodiment will be described below with reference to various elements of the image file creation apparatus 100 in fig. 1.
In step S201, the input module 22 of the image file generation apparatus 100 loads the package contents lists (also referred to as the first package contents list) of the plurality of electronic devices. Specifically, in the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the plurality of electronic devices belong to different product lines or different brands, and the first package manifest records an operating system, a plurality of drivers (also referred to as first drivers) and a plurality of software (also referred to as first software) commonly installed in the different product lines or the different brands of electronic devices.
Here, taking an operating system as an example, fig. 3A shows the number of versions of the operating system required for different models of electronic products in four different product lines. Fig. 3B shows a common number of versions of the operating system that are required to simplify different models of electronic products under four different product lines. Referring to fig. 3A and 3B, the model "Aspire" and the model "Predator" under the product line a each require the 6 th version of the operating system "W10 HML 64", the 3 rd version of the operating system "W10 HSL 64", and the 1 st version of the operating system "W10 HCN 64"; by analogy, the model "Veriton" and the model "extensosa" under the product line B each require the 6 th version of the operating system "W10 OR 64", the 6 th version of the operating system "W10 HML 64", the 3 rd version of the operating system "W10 HSL 64", and the 1 st version of the operating system "W10 HCN 64". As can be seen from FIG. 3A, all product lines A-D have duplicate OS content and duplicate required version numbers. In other words, if the image file is created in a conventional manner, a separate image file is generated for each product line a-D, and the same os content is established by more than several tens of versions. In view of this, the first package manifest in the exemplary embodiment of the present invention only records the os shared by the product lines a-D, and as shown in fig. 3B, the os shared by the product lines a-D only includes the os "W10 OR 64" version 6, the os "W10 HML 64" version 6, the os "W10 HSL 64" version 3, and the os "W10 HCN 64" version 1. In this way, the number of image files to be subsequently created and the number of operating systems included in the image files can be effectively reduced, i.e., the complexity of the image files is reduced and more controlled.
Referring to fig. 2 again, in step S203, the image file creating apparatus 100 creates a common Recovery Compact Disc (RCD) for the plurality of electronic devices, specifically, the downloading module 24 downloads an operating system, the first driver and the first software from a server according to the first package manifest, and the image file creating module 26 compresses the operating system, the first driver and the first software downloaded by the downloading module 24 into an image file (also referred to as a first image file). Here, the server is, for example, a cloud server, and records the latest version of content provided by each vendor that provides the operating system, the driver, and the application.
It should be noted that the difference between the image file creating method according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention and the conventional image file creating method is that, in the present invention, after the downloading module 24 of the image file creating apparatus 100 downloads the os, the first driver and the first software indicated by the first package manifest, the image file creating module 26 directly compresses the os, the first driver and the first software into an image file without preparing a computer or actually installing the os, the application and the preload setting on the image file creating apparatus 100 as in the conventional manner. In addition, in the process of creating the image file by pre-installing the operating system and then acquiring the state of the electronic device, it not only takes a lot of time to perform the pre-installation procedure, but also the operating system is invoked on the hardware device for testing, so the operating system in the image file may already collect the hardware information and behavior of the hardware device for testing, and further the image file generated by the conventional method is easy to be compatible with the electronic product to be sold, and even the image of the electronic product to be sold is prone to be blacked and scattered, and various problems such as delay of sound and image are caused. The method for making the mapping file does not build the mapping file in a mode of pre-installing the operating system and acquiring the state after the operating system is installed and set with other software, thereby effectively reducing the making time and avoiding the problems derived from the hardware compatibility caused by the mapping file.
In more detail, in the step S203, the downloading module 24 is further configured to download a tool program (utility) file and an encapsulation policy file (APBundle policy. XML), where the encapsulation policy file is, for example, Extensible Markup Language (XML) and is used to record the storage path and the installation rule of each installation software, and the tool program file is used to read the encapsulation policy file to know the storage path and the installation rule of each installation software when the image file is installed at the ODM end. The image file creating module 26 is further configured to create a temporary data folder (e.g., Temp _ RCD) and mount an index of an installation information file (install in) of the corresponding operating system in the temporary data folder, where the installation information file is used to indicate the operating system information included in the image file. Then, the image file creating module 26 merges the tool program file, the package policy file, the operating system, the first drivers, and the first software files into the temporary storage folder, and compresses the contents of the temporary storage folder into the first image file after the installation information file is uninstalled. Fig. 4A to 4D are schematic diagrams illustrating recovery of an optical disc according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention. Referring to fig. 4A, an image file (i.e., a recovery disc) shared by a plurality of electronic products records an installation information file index 41a and operating system information 42a provided by an installation information file, and the recovery disc includes an operating system 43a shared by the electronic products, such as "Windows 10 Pro", and a first driver and a first software 44A that are required to be installed by the electronic products. Referring to fig. 4B, an image file (i.e., a recovery disc) shared by a plurality of electronic products records an installation information file index 41B and operating system information 42B provided by an installation information file, and the recovery disc includes an operating system 43B shared by the electronic products, such as "Windows 10Single Language", and a first driver and a first software 44B that are required to be installed by the electronic products. Referring to fig. 4C, an image file (i.e., a recovery disc) shared by a plurality of electronic products records an installation information file index 41C and operating system information 42C provided by an installation information file, and the recovery disc includes an operating system 43C shared by the electronic products, such as "Windows 10 Home", and a first driver and a first software 44C that are required to be installed by the electronic products. Referring to fig. 4D, an image file (i.e., a recovery disc) shared by a plurality of electronic products records an installation information file index 41D and operating system information 42D provided by an installation information file, and the recovery disc includes an operating system 43D shared by the electronic products, such as "Windows 10 China", and a first driver and a first software 44D that are required to be installed by the electronic products. Similarly, fig. 4B to 4D list the forms of recovery disks having different operating systems and commonly installed drivers and software, respectively. In summary, the method for creating a common image file across product lines and brands according to the exemplary embodiments of the present invention can reduce the creation time for OEM, increase the reuse rate of image files, and avoid the problems derived from the hardware compatibility of image files.
In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, it is assumed that the electronic products include at least one first electronic device and at least one second electronic device belonging to different product lines or brands, the at least one first electronic device and the at least one second electronic device can share the first mapping file, and drivers or software required for the unique functions of the at least one first electronic device and the at least one second electronic device are also configured by the mapping file generating apparatus 100 to generate corresponding mapping files (i.e., optical discs). Referring to fig. 2, in step S203, the image file creating device 100 creates a Software Compact Disc (SCD) of differences between the plurality of electronic devices for each of the plurality of electronic devices, for example, the image file creating module 24 creates a second image file and a third image file of each of at least one first electronic device and at least one second electronic device, respectively.
Specifically, the input module 22 loads a package content list (also referred to as a second package content list) of at least one first electronic device, the download module 24 downloads at least one driver (also referred to as a second driver) and at least one software (also referred to as a second software) according to the second package content list, and the image file creating module 26 compresses the at least one second driver and the at least one second software into a second image file. Similarly, the input module 22 loads a package content list (also referred to as a third package content list) of at least one second electronic device, the downloading module 24 downloads at least one driver (also referred to as a third driver) and at least one software (also referred to as a third software) according to the third package content list, and the image file creating module 26 compresses the at least one third driver and the at least one third software into a third image file. In this example, the at least one second driver is different from the at least one third driver, or the at least one second software is different from the at least one third software, in other words, the second package content list and the third package content list record the difference of the drivers or the software required to be installed between the at least one first electronic device and the at least one second electronic device, respectively. In addition, since each electronic device may have different usage profiles, these usage profiles are also included in the respective floppy disks of each electronic device.
On the other hand, in the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the ODM side can download the completely manufactured recovery optical disc (e.g., the first image file) and the software optical disc (e.g., the second image file and the third image file) from the image file manufacturing apparatus 100 and install the same to the plurality of electronic devices. For example, as shown in step S207 in fig. 2, the ODM decompresses the recovery optical disc and the optical software disc to execute the common recovery optical disc and the respective optical software disc on each of the electronic devices, installs the operating system, at least one of the drivers, and at least one of the software in the recovery optical disc, and installs at least one driver and at least one software in the respective optical software disc. For example, the ODM decompresses the first image file, executes the first image file on each of the electronic devices, and installs at least one of the operating system, the first driver, and the first software; and decompressing the second mapping file and the third mapping file to execute the second mapping file on at least one first electronic device, and installing at least one second driver and at least one second software, and executing the third mapping file on at least one second electronic device, and installing at least one third driver and at least one third software.
In more detail, in the operation of executing the common optical disc recovery on each of the electronic devices in step S207, the processor of each of the electronic devices calls the first driver by using a utility file, determines at least one of the first drivers corresponding to each of the electronic devices according to an encapsulation policy file (xml), and determines at least one of the first software installed in each of the electronic devices according to the encapsulation policy file. Specifically, since the package policy file records the storage path and the installation rule of each installation software, the processor of each electronic device reads the package policy file through the tool program file, determines the software to be installed according to the installation rule of each installation software recorded in the package policy file, and obtains the software to be installed according to the storage path of each installation software. Similarly, the operation of executing the respective optical disc software on each of the electronic devices is similar to the above-mentioned operation of executing the common optical disc recovery on each of the electronic devices, and is not described herein again. In summary, according to the method for making the image file shared across product lines and brands in the exemplary embodiment of the invention, for the ODM end, since the ODM end does not need to store image files dedicated to different product lines and different brands, the required storage space is effectively saved and the storage cost is reduced. Moreover, because the mapping files of the cross-product line and the brand provide commonality and simplify the complexity of the mapping files, the ODM end is easier to manage and use the mapping files, and the ODM end does not need to download respective exclusive mapping files for different product lines or different brands, thereby improving the efficiency of downloading and installing the mapping files.
In addition, in the above steps S203 and S205, the input module 22 is further configured to establish a first identification number corresponding to the first package content list, and store the first package content list with the first identification number in the database 28; and respectively establishing a second identification number corresponding to the second suite content list and a third identification number corresponding to the third suite content list, and storing the second suite content list with the second identification number and the third suite content list with the third identification number in the database 28. In particular, the first identification number, the second identification number and the third identification number are different, that is, the recovery optical disc and the optical software disc have their respective specific identification numbers and are recorded in the database 28 of the image file creation apparatus 100, thereby facilitating the OEM to perform subsequent maintenance and management on all the image files created.
The method for making the mapping file according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention can make the operating system and the installation kit commonly required by the plurality of electronic devices and the installation kit required by each of the plurality of electronic devices into the recovery optical disc and the software optical disc separately, thereby improving the efficiency of making the mapping file and making the mapping file made according to the method more flexible in the application of the subsequent electronic product development process.
FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating a method for manufacturing a recovery disc according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention.
Referring to fig. 5, in step S501, the input module 22 of the image file generation apparatus 100 loads first package manifests of a plurality of electronic devices.
In step S503, the downloading module 24 of the image file generating apparatus 100 downloads the operating system, the first drivers and the first software from the server according to the first package manifest, and the image file creating module 26 compresses the operating system, the first drivers and the first software into a first image file.
Next, in step S505, each of the electronic devices obtains a decompressed first image file, and executes the first image file to install at least one of the operating system, the first driver, and the first software.
However, the steps in fig. 5 have been described in detail above, and are not described again here. It is noted that the steps in fig. 5 can be implemented as a plurality of program codes or circuits, and the invention is not limited thereto. In addition, the method of fig. 5 can be used with the above exemplary embodiments, or can be used alone, and the invention is not limited thereto.
In summary, the method and apparatus for creating an image file according to the embodiments of the present invention effectively solve the problem of hardware compatibility caused by the conventional method of creating an image file by pre-installing an operating system and obtaining the state of other software installed and set in the operating system, and further separately create a recovery optical disc and a soft optical disc by using the operating system and the installation kit commonly required by a plurality of electronic devices and the installation kits required by each of the plurality of electronic devices, thereby effectively enhancing the efficiency of creating an image file and increasing the reuse rate of the image file. On the other hand, the image file manufacturing method of the invention provides a common image file across product lines and brands for a plurality of electronic devices and simplifies the complexity of the image file, thereby facilitating the management and the use of the image file, effectively saving the storage space and reducing the storage cost.
Although the present invention has been described with reference to the above embodiments, it should be understood that the invention is not limited to the embodiments, and various changes and modifications can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
