Description

{Refurbishing method of disuse computation equipment}

The present invention relates to a method of regenerating unused computer equipment, and more specifically, to calculate and record the carbon reduction amount of recycled computer equipment and issue a certificate related thereto, thereby contributing to the global trend of reducing carbon dioxide emissions. It relates to a method of regenerating disused computer equipment to measure .

As IT technology develops, various types of computer equipment are being used throughout society. For example, in companies or government offices, most employees use personal PCs, the PCs are connected through Ethernet equipment to form a network, and Internet service providers use service servers and databases on the Internet to provide services to an unspecified number of people. It is equipped with a service server and is connected to the Internet network through Internet equipment.

Because IT technology continues to develop, if the specifications of the computer equipment you have are insufficient, it will be replaced with new computer equipment. In other words, in organizations such as companies, when existing computer equipment is replaced with new computer equipment for reasons such as failure or low specifications, the existing computer equipment becomes unusable computer equipment.

Unused computer equipment is usually sold or disposed of. In the case of sale, the asset value cannot be properly evaluated, so it is sold at a loss, and in the case of disposal, disposal costs are incurred.

Recently, reducing carbon dioxide emissions has become an important topic to preserve and improve the global environment. Carbon dioxide is emitted when disposing of unused computer equipment, and when new computer equipment is purchased to replace unused computer equipment. Since carbon dioxide is emitted during the manufacturing of computer equipment, disposal of computer equipment to make it insoluble does not fit the global trend of reducing carbon dioxide emissions.

Therefore, it is advisable to regenerate and use reusable computer equipment from unused computer equipment, but its merit is that the regeneration rate of regenerating and using unused computer equipment is low.

Therefore, there is a need for a means to improve the regeneration rate of regenerating unused computer equipment.

According to a study conducted by a British university (The Impact of ICT Reuse on Carbon Emissions), the production of one PC generates 260KGCO2 of carbon emissions.

As a result, if you do not dispose of it after 4 years of use and reuse it for 2 more years, there is a saving effect of 43.3KG and an annual saving of about 21.7KGCO2. Considering the research results, it is recommended that companies and government offices recycle unused computer equipment that is discarded to extend the period of use. If you increase it, the amount of carbon saved will increase even more.

For reference, the prior art for calculating carbon emissions is registered patent 10-1419686 "carbon emissions calculation device", registered patent 10-1196414 "method of measuring the amount of power saved through a multi-PC solution system for obtaining carbon emissions rights", Publication patent 10-2013-0127721, “Method for processing and providing information related to carbon emissions using SVS,” etc. has been disclosed.

The present invention is an invention made to solve the problem of low recycling usage rate of unused computing equipment. The present invention calculates and records the amount of carbon saved by regenerating unused computing equipment, and issues a carbon reduction certificate to increase the recycling usage rate of unused computing equipment. The purpose is to provide a method of recycling disused computer equipment to measure carbon emissions reduction, which contributes to the global trend of increasing carbon dioxide emissions and reducing carbon dioxide emissions.

In addition, another purpose is to reduce carbon emissions and increase the reuse rate through reuse of storage media by permanently deleting the data without physically destroying the storage media of unused computing equipment. .

Here, unused computing equipment includes PCs, laptops, tablets, smartphones, servers, etc.

Incoming unused computer equipment is tested to delete data from the storage medium, extract specification information of the storage and drive media, and determine whether it is good or bad. Since testing computer equipment one at a time takes a lot of time, multiple pieces of computer equipment are tested. It is desirable to connect to the Ethernet network in the workroom so that tests on multiple computer equipment can be performed simultaneously.

Here, the storage medium is a medium that stores various information generated while using computer equipment, such as HDD and SDD, and the driving medium is a medium that drives the computer equipment, such as CPU, RAM, ODD, VGA, SOUND CART, and MAIN BOARD. There is.

The first test step (S10) extracts specification information of the storage medium and driving medium of the computing equipment connected to the Ethernet network and deletes the data stored in the storage medium.

Here, the specification information includes the storage medium's capacity, quantity, serial number, manufacturer, type, etc., and the model name, version, serial number, manufacturer, etc. of each drive medium.

If data from the storage medium is not deleted in the first test step (S10), the second test step (S20) is performed to determine the cause.

The reason why data in the storage medium is not deleted in the first test step (S10) is because the storage medium is defective or the drive medium is defective.

In the second test step (S20), the storage medium is separated from the computer equipment, and each of the separated storage medium and the non-separated drive medium is tested for defects.

In the third test step (S30), if the storage medium is determined to be good as a result of the second test, the data is deleted, and if it is determined to be defective, the information stored in the storage medium is permanently destroyed using the destruction device (1) to prevent information leakage. prevent.

In the deletion report creation step (S40), a deletion report containing information about whether the deletion of the information and data extracted through the first to third test steps (S10, S20, and S30) was successful is created.

In the step S50 of creating a good product list, a good product list and a defective product list are created for the computer equipment determined to be good product and defective product through the first to third test steps, respectively. In other words, storage media whose data has been deleted and driving media that are operating normally are listed along with specification information in the list of non-defective products, and storage media whose data has not been deleted and driving media that are not operating normally are listed as defective along with their specification information. Write it on the list.

In the reproduction and quotation list creation step (S60), a list of reproducible computer equipment among computer equipment and a quotation list for reproduction are created using the good product list and the defective product list.

The regeneration step (S-B) regenerates the computer equipment determined to be reproducible in the pass/fail decision step (S-A).

Referring to Figure 3, the playback step is a preparation step to check whether the computer equipment is the target for playback through the play list, check whether both the storage medium and the drive medium are loaded on the computer equipment, and whether data has been deleted from the storage medium. (S70), a dust removal step (S80) in which dust is removed by air cleaning the inside of the computer equipment, a detailed specification confirmation step (S90) in which detailed specifications for entering the BIOS of the computer equipment are checked through a PC, and a storage medium is set to Low. A storage media initialization step (S100) to format and initialize, an installation preparation and partition work step (S110) to fully reproduce the computer equipment, a Windows installation step (S120) to install Windows and check for any abnormalities, and a screen A version confirmation step (S130) to check the normal version and the versions of the existing Certificate of Authenticity (COA) and Reproduction Certificate of Authenticity (MAR), and an environment setup step (S140) to create an account, set network settings, select language, and configure environment settings. Wow, a desktop installation step (S150) to install the default desktop, an update step (S160) to update the OS after checking for problems with various drives, devices, sounds, ODDs, Internet, etc., and a computer equipment manufacturer (e.g.; A sticker attachment step (S170) of attaching a genuine MAR license sticker exclusively for refurbishment supplied by MICROSOFT to the computer equipment, an authentication step (S180) of sending a photo of the product with the sticker attached to the manufacturer to certify that it is a refurbished product, and It includes a finishing step (S190) of cleaning and washing the exterior.

Computer equipment that has completed regeneration through the regeneration step (S-B) is classified by product type (PC, laptop, server, etc.).

The carbon reduction amount recording step (S200) calculates and records the carbon reduction amount of computer equipment classified by product type.

To calculate the amount of carbon saved, the amount of carbon saved for one piece of regenerated computer equipment is calculated using a table that records the amount of carbon saved during regeneration by type and model of storage media and various drive media, and the amount of carbon saved for each piece of computer equipment entrusted to one company is calculated. Calculate .

In the certificate issuance step (S210), a carbon reduction amount certificate is issued based on the carbon reduction amount recorded in the carbon reduction amount recording step.
