Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a perspective view illustrating a general portable storage device connected to a host computer to support mobility of a user working environment according to the present invention.

In FIG. 1, when a user stores his work environment on the portable storage device 200, and then mounts it on any host computer 100, such as a notebook or a server, the user may recreate the work environment previously executed. In order to automatically set up the host computer 100 by the automatic configuration of the user working environment of the portable storage device 200 without having to manipulate the installation process or the user environment setting of the corresponding application.

2 is an internal configuration diagram of a portable storage device configured for mobility support of a working environment according to the present invention, and FIG. 3 is an internal configuration diagram of a host computer configured for mobility support of a user working environment.

In FIG. 2, for example, the portable storage device 200 using USB as an interface means includes an application execution file storage unit 210, a user environment setting data storage unit 220, and an application to support mobility of a user's working environment. It includes a user work environment automatic component 230 for supporting the mobility of the program and the mobility of the user preferences.

In addition, in FIG. 3, the host computer 100 includes a user interface 102, a user environment setting manager 104, an application manager 106, a registry manager 108, a data manager 110, and a device driving manager 112. And a user working environment mobility support unit 122 installed in the Windows kernel, a registry API 116, a registry 118, and a file system 120 in the kernel.

The user work environment automatic configuration unit 230 allows a user to configure an application or a user environment setting that supports mobility. Prior to the execution of the task, the user work environment automatic configuration unit 230 is equipped with the portable storage device 200 in the host computer 100 and at the same time by using the automatic execution of the USB memory, the user interface 102 and the user environment The setting manager 104, the application manager 106, the registry manager 108, the data manager 110, and the device driving manager 112 are configured in the user mode, and the user working environment mobility support unit 122 is in the kernel mode. Configure.

In the Windows kernel mode 110 to which the user working environment mobility support unit 122 belongs, a registry API 120, a registry 130, and a file system 120 are used.

The user interface 102 uses a function of configuring a portable storage device 200 to support mobility of a working environment and a portable storage device 200 that is actually pre-configured to the host computer 100. Make sure you're ready to continue working. For example, in order to configure the Hangul 2005, which is a word processor, in the portable storage device 200 to be used anywhere, a function such as adding an application program may be performed. A user may perform an operation of further removing an application, applying user preferences, and reconfiguring through the user interface 102.

The user preference manager 104 operates when the user interface 102 requests application or reconfiguration of user preferences. The user preference manager 104 corresponds to the registry manager 108 and the data manager 110 according to a registry 130 or a file request. Pass the request of work.

For example, when the user environment setting is applied, in order to apply the book mark of the web browser stored in the user environment setting data storage unit 220 of the portable storage device 200, the book mark of the Windows system may be changed to the portable storage device 200. When the registry value needs to be changed in order to convert to the corresponding position of the), a work request is made to the registry manager 108. On the other hand, when reconfiguring the user preferences, in order to store the current desktop picture in the user preference data storage 220 of the portable storage device 200, the data management part is needed to find the location of the picture and copy the file. The operation is requested at 110.

Here, the user environment setting has three meanings. The first is the setting of the application or the host computer. The user environment settings are changed by the user during the execution of the application, and the host computer such as the desktop, the Windows theme, and the screen saver. It means setting. The second means a bookmark or first page and a record of visited web pages for a user who visits various web sites through a web browser through internet setting and environment. Finally, as personal data, the data is stored in the data storage unit 240 of FIG. 2 and refers to files newly created using an application program. Such elements are referred to as user preferences, which are necessary information other than an application program used to support mobility of a real user working environment.

Tasks performed by the application management unit 106 can be divided into two broadly, the ability to install to support the mobility of the application on the portable storage device 200, and applications already stored in the portable storage device 200 Performs a function to support the smooth running of the program.

The application manager 106 requests a corresponding operation from the registry manager 108 and the data manager 110. When installing the portable storage device 200 to support mobility of an application, an installation file of an actual application is installed. While installing to the portable storage device 200 by using, to check the file stored in the registry 130 or the Windows system registered in the host computer 100 and stores it as a list.

Subsequently, when the installation of the application program is completed, a process of moving the files dependent on the registry value of the application program and the host computer 100 to the portable storage device 200 is performed by referring to the above list. When this process is completed, the application manager 106 stores a file required to execute an application to support the mobility of the corresponding application in the application execution file storage unit 300 of the portable storage device 200. .

On the other hand, the application management unit 106 requests a corresponding operation to the registry management unit 108 to register the registry to smoothly perform the execution of an application program already stored in the portable storage device 200. Subsequently, during the execution of the application program, when accessing the dependent file of the host computer 100, the data management unit 110 is configured to change the access to the host computer 100 to the portable storage device 200. ) Will be requested. In fact, the data manager 110 requests the kernel work mode mobility support unit 122 to perform such a task.

The registry manager 108 and the data manager 110 access the registry 118 using the registry API 116 in the Windows kernel to support the above-mentioned methods, or the host computer at the user workplace mobility support 122. File request of the application program dependent on (100) or directly access the file system 120 to perform the request of the desired file.

When the user uses the portable storage device 200 that supports the mobility of the user's working environment, and then removes the portable storage device 200 from the host computer 100, the device driving manager 112 may determine that the host computer 100 of the host computer 100 is connected. The operation of returning the state of the registry 130 and the file to the state before the use of the portable storage device 200 is performed. When the portable storage device 200 is detached from the Windows system, the Windows system sends a WM_DEVICECHANGE message to all the systems to inform the user that the state of the device has changed, and the device driving manager 112 receives the message to display the host computer 100. ) To the previous use state.

Meanwhile, the registry API 116 and the registry 118 and the file system 120 existing in the Windows kernel 110 are used to support mobility of a user's working environment. In the case of the registry API 120, the registry management unit ( In 108, the registry 130 may be modified, created, and deleted, and the registry 130 and the file system 120 are resources that are basically used to manage the system in the Windows operating system.

As described above, the user work environment mobility support unit 122 is devised to solve a problem that a file request dependent on the host computer 100 fails, and the solution proceeds as follows.

The user work environment mobility support unit 122 is a new filter driver registered between a hardware abstract layer (HAL) and an unillustrated NT I / O manager in a general Windows kernel. I / O Request Packet (IRP) is delivered to HAL for file request. IRP consists of IRP header and I / O stack location. IRP is collected in stack structure and delivered to HAL or each IRP is requested. It will have the same information as the file's location.

In addition, when the user's work environment mobility support unit 122 receives the IRP at an intermediate location and accesses the host computer 100, the user's work environment mobility support unit copies the IRP, stores the IRP, and stores the IRP in the I / O stack. The HAL receives the I / O stack, accesses the location of the file requested by each IRP, stores the success in a field inside the IRP header, and returns it back to the NT I / O manager.

At this time, if the request of the IRP that the user environment mobility support unit 122 re-engages and copies the I / O stack is successful, the file exists on the host computer 100, and thus the deleted IRP is deleted. Will be sent to.

 If the IRP request fails, the file exists in the portable storage device 200, but it appears when a request is made to the host computer 100. Therefore, the copied IRP is deleted and the target point of the original IRP is deleted. Change it to (200) and set the status information to reparse to have the NT I / O manager request the IRP again.

After performing the above operation, the user work environment mobility support unit 122 transmits the response of the IRP request to the NT I / O manager. In this process, the user work environment mobility support unit 122 supports the data management unit 110 in the user mode to perform the file as if the corresponding file exists in the host computer 100.

As described above, in a state in which the user work environment of the host computer 100 is configured in the portable storage device 200, mobility of the user work environment is supported.
