In the present exemplary embodiment, the memory management circuit 202 of the memory controller 1〇4 is further configured to perform the current operation mode of the detection selection switch 108 and to present the current operation of the selection switch (10) according to the request of the host system 11GG. Red # transferred to the line secret 11GG. For the clock, the memory management circuit 202 detects the current mode of operation of the selection switch 1〇8 and 201203116 ------------- 34464twf.doc/n marks the above selection flag for recording Select the operating mode of switch 1〇8. In addition, the memory management circuit 2 会 2 will recognize an instruction from the host system i 1 用于 for requesting the selection flag (for example, a Vender Command) and the above selection flag or its corresponding The message is transmitted to the host system 1100 in response to this command. 4 is a flow diagram of an application system for automatically operating a host system stored in an external memory storage device according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention. Referring to FIG. 4, when the external memory storage device 1 is coupled to the host system 1100, the host system 11A actively requests the external memory storage device 100 to transmit the selection switch 1 in step S4〇i. The current mode of operation of 8. For example, the driver 1124 capable of transmitting the instruction for requesting the selection flag is previously operated in the operating system of the host system 11 and is coupled to the external memory storage device 1 by the user. When the host system 1100 is reached, the boot program 1124 issues an instruction to the external memory storage device 100 for requesting the selection flag. And, upon receiving an instruction to request the selection flag, the memory management circuit 202 of the memory controller 1〇4 transmits the stored selection flag to the vector 1124. For example, when the selection switch 1〇8 is in the first position, the memory management circuit 202 transmits the selection flag labeled as the first mode of operation to the pilot program 1124, and when the selection switch 1〇8 is in the second position. The memory controller 104 transmits a selection flag labeled as the second mode of operation to the vector 1124. After that, in step S403, the host system 1100 executes the stored application according to the current operation mode of the selection switch 4 201203116 r ^-^010-0007 34464twf.doc/n 108, for example, when the selection flag is reduced, The indexing function... The marking operation (10) (4) (4) 1G6HJ selection flag and other bows will be in the operating system 1122. Moreover, when the mark is received as the second operation, the guide program 1124 will continue to execute 1] 29 & large selection flag m. (4) The second application in the operation secret 1122 is worthwhile. The d24 will be the lion's fine memory. The device 100 polls the choice of the building, and whether it has been changed. You 丨 ‘—、, indicate the storage device that identifies the selection flag Η)〇. 4, the flag selection instruction is given to the memory. In addition, in another exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the memory storage device 100 is detected to be lightly re-applied: the body 1_set 100 to the host 24 is disconnected from the host system. Memory storage device = up to U to select the flag of the instruction to the V iH is 'when the state of the selection flag is changed, the derivative program will execute the corresponding application according to the state of the selection flag. The position of the selection switch _ is positioned when the first position storage device 100 is lightly connected to the host system, and b 1124 will transfer the received selection flag to the operating system 1122 201203116 *-------*0007 34464twf.doc/n running the first - application off. At this time, if the user sets the position of the selection switch 108 to the second position, since the flag of the selection flag has been changed to the second operation mode, the guide type (4) lm is in the operating system 1122 according to the received selection flag. The second application 184 is run. That is to say, in this example, both the first and second programs 182 and 184 are operated in the operating system 1122. In addition to the multiple applications that are older than the external memory storage 2 _, the implementation of the present invention is another example. The program 1124 can also be used to run only one application at the same time. For example, in another exemplary embodiment of the present invention, when the user sets the position of the selection switch (10) to the second position, the guidance of the field type ι 24 24 is corrected in the operating system 1122 before the second program m is operated. - Whether the application 182 has been run. Further, when the formula 2 has been operated, the pilot program 1124 terminates the operation of the f 182 and then operates the second application (8). On the other hand, when the user sets the position of the selection switch m to the first position, the guidance mode im determines whether the second application 184 has been operated in the operating system 1122 before running the first application in. And, when the second = program m has been run, the pilot program 1124 terminates the operation of the second application 184 and then runs the first application (8). . In the present exemplary embodiment, the pilot program 1124 pre-running on the host system 1100 is pre-stored in the built-in storage device 112A. However, this is not limited to this. For example, in another exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the guide type 1124 and the automatic execution of the guide program U24 for automatic operation 16 201203116 χ «χ ^ ^J10-0007 34464twf.doc/n file (for example, 'floor A description of the name "quoting "Automn.inf," will be stored in the partition 18 of the brotherly memory module 106, and the memory controller 104 will simulate the partition as a disc partition. That is, when the user couples the memory storage device 1 to the host system '1' and the host system 1 丨 (9) to the external memory storage device 1 to ask for its media characteristics, the memory The management circuit 202 will report the partition to the host system 1100 as a disc partition. Thereafter, the operating system • 1122 automatically operates the automatic execution file stored in the divided area 180, and the operated automatic execution target automatically runs the guidance program 1124 in the operating system 1122. Therefore, in this exemplary embodiment, the navigation program 1124 does not need to be stored in the built-in storage device 112A in advance. The host interface 204 is coupled to the memory management circuit 2〇2 and is configured to receive and identify the instructions and data transmitted by the host system 1100. That is to say, the instructions and data transmitted by the host system 1100 are transmitted to the 6 memory management circuit 202 through the host interface 204. In the present exemplary embodiment, the host interface 204 is the USB interface of the corresponding connector 102. However, it must be understood that the present invention is not limited thereto, and the host interface 2〇4 may be other suitable plug and play data transmission interfaces. The memory interface 206 is coupled to the memory management circuit 2〇2 and is used to access the _δ memory module 1〇6. That is, the data to be written to the memory module 106 is converted to a format acceptable to the memory module 106 via the memory interface 206. ☆ / In an exemplary embodiment of the invention, the memory controller 1〇4 further includes a buffer memory 252. The buffer memory 252 is connected to the memory management power 201203116 --------- 34 7 34464 twf.doc / n 202 and is used to temporarily store data and instructions from the host system 11 或 or Information from the memory module 106.
