The present invention relates to a method for designing a component software device using a multi-plug method and a computer-readable recording medium having recorded thereon a program for realizing the method. In particular, the component software is mounted on a standardized device by a plug method. The present invention relates to a component software device design method for designing and a computer readable recording medium having recorded thereon a program for realizing the method.

Typical plug-in hardware is a custom IC called ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit), replaceable game pack of game machine, Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) board of PC, Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) equipment, USB (Universal) Serial Bus (Connected Bus) equipment and the like, and functionally capable of operating these components include a PCI interface, a SCSI interface, and a USB port of a PC (Personal Computer) motherboard. Among them, PCI and SCSI technology can handle multiple devices multiplely. These can be parallelized, but sockets are installed in a fixed number or cabled.

Among the existing methods, ASIC is an independent device, which is directly mounted on the surface of a printed circuit board (PCB) board, which is difficult to exchange. As an on-demand semiconductor, external standards or interface standards are grouped according to characteristics.

Gamepack has the advantage of replacing the game pack by replacing the game pack in a modified way of the PCI board, but it does not process multiple. Therefore, PCI is a board that handles special functions in the computer such as graphics, sound, communication, etc., and has a fixed number for each computer. SCSI is used to connect backup and peripheral devices such as CD-ROMs, hard disk drives (HDDs), and tapes. It is useful for connecting multiple peripheral devices.

For reference, the method of driving the component software device will be described in detail as follows.

First, a method of providing a component using a plug-in (Korean Patent Application No. "10-2000-0061330", filed on October 18, 2000) with respect to a component software device driving method is as follows.

This patent uses a plug-in that allows you to run components on the web using the Automatic Plug-In feature to view the results, as well as to receive the results using a mobile terminal. The present invention relates to a method of providing a software, using a web browser, to download and execute the function through a plug-in, so that the purchase process can be processed when there is a purchase request.

Therefore, this patent is different from the present invention which consists of pure software only, and consists of component units of application programs in the form of software to manage component software by physical installation and removal.

In addition, with regard to the method for driving the component software device, a "packaging method of an electronic component" (Korean Patent Application No. "10-2000-0060384", filed October 13, 2000) is as follows.

This patent relates to the packaging of components such as surface acoustic wave (SAW) filters, radio frequency (RF) components, sensors, etc., which do not need to be occupied, and more specifically to this kind of packaging method. It is proposed to sheath the chip as a whole by a deformable plastic film that attaches to the substrate as well as to the back and side of the chip. This method has the advantage of boosting the mechanical strength of the chip on the substrate. The method also represents a structure that facilitates continuous mineraldeposition that completely seals the structure after the steps described herein for local removal of the membrane. As a result, when inorganic coating is selected as the metal, continuous electromagnetic shielding is made, which can be in direct contact with the electrical ground on the substrate. The deformable film that attaches to the back and side of the chip as well as the substrate between the chips forms a monolithic unit with high mechanical strength.

That is, the patent relates to a method for mounting and packaging a base including an hole and an electronic component for connecting an electrical contact and a connection pad, which is different from the present invention for connecting a plurality of component devices in multiple layers.

Therefore, in the current technical field, there is a need for a method of connecting a plurality of devices, such as PCI or SCSI, to a plurality of layers containing component software that perform independent functions such as an ASIC.

The present invention has been proposed in order to meet the above-described demands, and enables an operator to easily install and manage component application software, prevent a seller from illegally distributing software, and distribute it normally. It is an object of the present invention to provide a component software device design method for designing a dog in multiple layers so that space can be effectively used, and a computer-readable recording medium recording a program for realizing the method.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a component software device design method comprising: a first step of mounting component software on a plurality of standardized component devices; Implementing a hole having a predetermined size on a rear surface of a component device on which the component software is mounted, and implementing a pin corresponding to the number of the holes on a rear surface of the component device; Executing a component software mounted on the component device; And a fourth step of designing a multilayer by connecting holes and pins of the component devices.

In addition, the present invention provides a hardware system for designing a component software device having a processor, the function of mounting component software in a plurality of standardized component devices; A function of implementing a hole having a predetermined size on a rear surface of a component device on which the component software is mounted, and a pin corresponding to the number of holes on a rear surface of the component device; Executing component software mounted on the component device; And a computer-readable recording medium having recorded thereon a program for realizing a function of designing a multilayer by connecting holes and pins of the component devices.

The present invention is to connect a plurality of devices, such as PCI or SCSI, to a plurality of devices embedded with component software that performs independent functions such as an ASIC. That is, the present invention proposes a multi-layered configuration of a plurality of component devices that perform several application functions with one interface.

Accordingly, the present invention is expanding in size as Objects, Class Libraries, Frameworks, Components, Architectures as the module development process of software is converted to object-oriented method. It is also evolving into plug-ins independently and in software. Although this type of software is pluggable, it can only be handled by skilled software engineers, thus providing a more convenient method of operation for the general public.

However, the present invention may be a problem that can not be quickly replaced according to the version and upgraded hardware implemented as a component device, but from the supplier's point of view, it is easy to sell and manage by managing the component software as a hardware package in the form of parts In addition, the user has an advantage that the component device can be easily replaced and operated without the help of an expert.

The above objects, features and advantages will become more apparent from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The multi-plug component device can connect many devices in a narrow space by installing software to be installed and operated in a computer hard disk in a standardized chip device, and stacking component devices and devices in a stacked form. , No extra cabling is involved.

Therefore, in order to mount the component software on a standardized component device, a device standard standardized to a capacity that can be stored is defined, and the component device 100 can be improved to store the component software.

1 is a structural diagram of a hardware system for designing a component software device to which the present invention is applied.

As shown in FIG. 1, the device pin hole 101 having a predetermined size is manufactured to a size into which the plug insertion portion 103 enters but the plug fixing portion 102 cannot enter. The component information display unit 104 displaying the information of each component device on the surface of the component device indicates the number of pins that can be interfaced and the capacity that can be stored. After the information is recorded, the component information display unit 104 displays the component information. In addition, a method of storing a security key that cannot be copied in addition to the component software in the component device is accompanied.

In order to implement the component device in a plug method, the plug device may be implemented, and the middle portions of the pins may be dualized in the thickness of the plug fixing part 102 and the plug inserting part 103 so that the shape of the holes and the pins may be easily inserted and removed. Insert it in the form of a plug.

2 is a structural diagram showing a socket for fixing a component device to which the present invention is applied and extending with a cable to connect to a computer.

As shown in FIG. 2, in order to initially install a component device and to connect with a computer, it may be through a socket 200 including a socket interface 203.

The socket 200 includes a socket hole 201 through which a component device can be inserted, an interface cable 202 and an external connection terminal 204 for connecting with a computer.

3 is a structural diagram of an apparatus configured as a docking station by mounting a component device to which the present invention is applied.

4 is a flowchart illustrating a process of executing software mounted on a component device in a component software device design method according to the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 4, in order to execute component software mounted on a component device, a control file (Configuration File) is read (401) while booting the computer (400) to determine whether there is component software information in the control file ( 402).

As a result, if there is no component software information, the system waits until the user requests it (403). If there is component software information, it is determined whether or not the component software set in the control file is checked for security by the corresponding component device (404). If checked, it is loaded into the memory (405), executed (406), and if not checked, it is held (407) until the user requests component software not set in the file.

On the other hand, since the device and the device are plugged into two layers and operated, each device must have a control flag for controlling each device, and each component device has a function of transmitting and receiving data in parallel since it is composed of multiple layers and shares pins. That is, since the device and the device are plugged into two layers and operated, the control signal for controlling each device has a control flag (delimiter) corresponding to the corresponding device.

The security key stored in the component device has a function to prevent duplication due to the fact that the security key exists in the hardware even if the software is copied. In order to use the software installed in each component device normally, it acts as an authentication key when reading each device information from the computer.

The method of the present invention as described above may be implemented as a program and stored in a computer-readable recording medium (CD-ROM, RAM, ROM, floppy disk, hard disk, magneto-optical disk, etc.).

It will be clear to those of ordinary knowledge.

According to the present invention as described above, by designing a device including the component software to physically install and remove the software, it is possible to facilitate the operation management even if the expert does not manage the software, by displaying the version control on the device surface There is an effect that can be facilitated.

In addition, the present invention, by installing in a separate rack through the interface inside or outside the computer main body to facilitate replacement, to connect the component device and the device in multiple layers to minimize the cable, in a small space There is an effect that can integrate many component devices.

In addition, the present invention allows component software manufacturers to physically prevent software duplication by installing a security key on a device, and standardizes data processing ports including common ports (power, ground) at each component device. It is different but has the effect of standardizing capacity and appearance.
