1 is a block diagram illustrating a product date storage apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. The product line storage device according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention may be installed or operated as a part of a computing device in which an operating system is installed and operated. A detailed description of a general configuration of a computing device will be omitted for the sake of simplicity and clarity of the product date storage device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, a product line storage device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a processor 110, a system memory 120, a storage 130, a PCH 140, and a nonvolatile memory 150.

The processor 110 performs operations according to a program stored on the system memory 120. [ The processor 110 may be a processor of a known type such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit). The processor 110 operates according to a program of the operating system stored in the system memory 120, and performs processes such as booting and termination of the product-date storage device. At this time, when an event for power supply termination occurs, the processor 110 transmits a command for requesting power shutdown to the PCH 140, detects a SMI (System Management Interrupt) generated from the PCH 140 can do. In addition, the processor 110 performs a process of storing a product date according to a program (bios) stored in the nonvolatile memory 150 connected via the PCH 140. [ Hereinafter, the process of storing the product date by the product date storage will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

The system memory 120 loads the programs stored in the storage 130 via the PCH 140 and the processor 110. [ The system memory 120 may be a volatile storage medium such as a random access memory (RAM).

The storage 130 may store a program constituting the operating system and the application, and may provide the program to the system memory 120. The storage 130 may be a non-volatile storage medium such as a hard disk.

The platform controller hub 140 transmits a power shutdown signal to the processor 110 and one or more hardware connected to the PCH 140 when receiving a command to request power shutdown from the processor 110. [

At this time, the serial number can be received and stored through the user interface provided from the firmware stored in the non-volatile memory 150.

A non-volatile memory 150 stores the product date. The non-volatile memory 150 also stores firmware necessary for operation of the product. For example, the non-volatile memory may be an EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) that stores firmware. At this time, the nonvolatile memory 150 may store a program for providing a display device such as a monitor with a user interface that displays a product date according to an input requesting an output of a product date (hereinafter, referred to as an output request input) . For example, the non-volatile memory 150 may store a program for providing a user interface for inputting a product number, and a user interface for outputting a product date. Accordingly, the product date storage device according to an embodiment of the present invention displays the product date through the user interface to the manufacturer so that the manufacturer can know when the product is defective, the product use period of the product, So that the life of the parts can be grasped. The non-volatile memory 150 may also store a program that provides a user interface capable of receiving an input for initializing a product date (hereinafter referred to as a product date initialization input). The product date initialization input can be received through a user interface such as a button, a menu, or a user interface receiving a shortcut key input of one or more key inputs. The nonvolatile memory 150 may also be configured to initialize (delete) one or more of the product dates stored in the nonvolatile memory 150 (e.g., product delivery date and product end date) You can save the program.

In addition, the system memory 120 temporarily stores the product number and the product date stored in the non-volatile memory 150 when the firmware stored in the non-volatile memory 150 is updated. The system memory 120 transfers the product number and the product date to the nonvolatile memory 150 when the updating of the firmware stored in the nonvolatile memory 150 is completed. Accordingly, the product date storage device can maintain the product number and the product date stored in the non-volatile memory 150 even when updating the firmware stored in the non-volatile memory 150. [

2 is a flowchart illustrating a process of storing a product date by the product date storage apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. Each process described below is performed through each function unit constituting the product date storage device, and the subject of each step is collectively referred to as the product date storage device. In addition, a detailed description of processes performed in a general computing device, such as a process of the processor 110 reading a program stored in the system memory 120 and the nonvolatile memory 150, will be omitted.

Referring to FIG. 2, in step 210, the product date storage device performs a boot according to an event of powering on the product date storage device. When booting has been performed, when receiving an output request input requesting output of the product date, the product date storage device can output the product date.

In step 220, the product-date storage device generates the SMI as an event of power-off of the product-date storage device occurs.

In step 230, the product date storage determines whether the SMI indicates a normal termination. In this case, the SMI indicating normal termination may be an SMI indicating a hibernation mode (S4 mode) or a shutdown mode (S5 mode). For example, in the case of windows 8, which is an operating system of Microsoft, and windows of later generations, the PCH 140 generates an SMI indicating a hibernation mode at the time of normal termination, and the PCH 140 indicates a termination mode You can create an SMI.

If the SMI indicates the hibernation mode or the termination mode in step 230, the product date storage device checks in step 240 if the product number is stored in the nonvolatile memory 150. [

If the product number is not stored in the nonvolatile memory 150 in step 240, the product date storage device ends the product date storage process. The product date storage device can receive and store a serial number from a manufacturer through a predetermined user interface. Therefore, the product date storage device does not store the product date even if the manufacturer does not input the product number, even if a normal termination occurs, so that the manufacturer can boot the product date storage device one time It is possible to prevent the product date from being stored.

If the product number is stored in the non-volatile memory 150 in step 240, the product date storage device checks in step 250 if the product manufacture date is stored in the non-volatile memory 150. [

If the product manufacture date is not stored in the non-volatile memory 150 at step 250, the product date storage stores the current date (month / day / year) and the time (hour / minute / second) And stores it in the volatile memory 150. Thereafter, the product date storage device performs step 290 to be described later.

If the product manufacture date is stored in the non-volatile memory 150 in step 250, the product date storage device checks in step 270 if the product delivery date is stored in the non-volatile memory 150. [

If the product delivery date is not stored in the nonvolatile memory 150 in step 270, the product date storage device stores the current date and time in the nonvolatile memory 150 as the product delivery date in step 280. Thereafter, the product date storage device performs step 290 to be described later.

If the product delivery date is stored in the non-volatile memory 150 at step 270, the product date storage at step 290 stores the current date and time in the non-volatile memory 150 as the product's last use date.

3 is a diagram illustrating a process of updating the firmware by the product line storage device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3, in step 310, the product date storage device backs up the product date to the system memory 120 according to a predetermined event requesting an update of the firmware.

In step 320, the product date storage performs firmware update. At this time, the process of updating the firmware may follow the process of updating the firmware of the known computing device.

In step 330, the product date storage stores the backed-up product date in the system memory 120 in the non-volatile memory 150. [

Accordingly, the product date storage apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention can maintain the product date on the nonvolatile memory 150 even if the firmware update is performed.

4 is a diagram illustrating a process of initializing a product date storage apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 4, in step 410, the product date storage device receives a product date initialization input from the user. For example, the product date storage device may receive a product date initialization input requesting initialization of the product date via a predetermined user interface such as a button, a menu, or a shortcut key.

In step 420, the product date storage initializes at least one of the product dates stored in the non-volatile memory. For example, the product date storage device can initialize the product delivery date and the end use date stored in the nonvolatile memory upon receipt of the product date initialization input.

At this time, the product date storage device may initialize at least one of the product dates stored in the nonvolatile memory 150 when the product date initialization input is received separately from the firmware updating process described above.

Therefore, the product date storage apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention can initialize the product date in a situation where any product date should be initialized.

It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made in the present invention without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims. It will be understood that the invention may be varied and varied without departing from the scope of the invention.
