成するようにしたことを特徴とする。The peripheral device recognition method according to the present invention includes means for issuing a request to report the characteristics of the peripheral device control section in response to startup of the operating system, and means for recognizing the characteristics of the peripheral device control section in response to this request. and a means for issuing a request to report the connection status of the peripheral device, and a means for recognizing the connection status of the peripheral device and reporting the connection status information in response to the request. The present invention is characterized in that system configuration information necessary for the operating system is generated based on reports of peripheral device control unit characteristic information and peripheral device connection status information.
実施例 次に、本発明について図面を参照して説明する。Example Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

令の流れを夫々示している。Referring to the figure, one practical example of the present invention includes a configuration information activation means 1, a system generation means 2, a recognition means 3, a control section characteristic requesting means 4, a peripheral device characteristic requesting means 5, and a control section report. It consists of a means 6 and further a peripheral device reporting means 7. Note that the solid lines in the figure indicate the flow of information, and the broken lines indicate the flow of commands.

）。When the operating system is stored in the electrical computer system, control is first passed to the configuration information activation means 1,
The system generation means 2 is activated by the configuration information activation means 1 (command 12). The system generation means 2 activates the recognition means 3 to obtain system configuration information (command 23
).

(command 34). The control unit characteristic requesting means 4 issues a control unit report command 46 to each peripheral device control unit reporting means 6. In response to this command 46, the control unit reporting means 6 issues a report command 67 to the peripheral device reporting means 7, and in response, the peripheral device reporting means 7 receives information 76 on the number of peripheral devices, and sends its own information (types of connectable devices, interface methods, etc.) The control section report 64 is made by integrating the above.The control section characteristic requesting means 4 uses this report 64.
In response, the controller information 43 is passed to the recognition means 3.

5). The peripheral device characteristic requesting means 5 is connected to each peripheral device reporting means 7.
A peripheral device report command 57 is issued to the peripheral device report command 57. Upon receiving this, the peripheral device reporting means 7 notifies the device characteristic (model number) information 75 to the peripheral device characteristic requesting means 5. In response to this, the peripheral device characteristic requesting means 5 sends peripheral device information 53 to the recognition means 3.
