Schematic diagram of the abnormal condition of the device and the current status information.

Referring to FIG. 2, the server state instant detection method is applied between a server 3 and a terminal device 4 for communicating through a wireless network, that is, the method comprises a server 3 and a terminal. A server state instant detection system of the device 4 is implemented. The server 3 of the present embodiment mainly includes at least one wireless network interface 30 and a baseboard management controller (BMC) 31. In the embodiment, the server 3 has three wireless networks. The interface 30 is an example, that is, a wireless network interface A (for example, a WiFi interface), a wireless network interface B (for example, a 3G interface), and a wireless network interface C (for example, a 4G interface), but This is limited to this.

And the server 3 itself has a first IP address to provide a network service, such as a website or a cloud hard disk, so that any user can connect to the wireless of the server 3 according to the first IP address. One of the network interfaces A~C to use the network service; and the BMC 31 is a microcontroller embedded in the motherboard (not shown) of the server 3, which mainly monitors the server 3, for example. System information such as temperature, power mode, cooling fan speed, operating system status, or status of other hardware-driven devices, and timely send a warning signal to notify a remote device (not shown).

Moreover, the BMC 31 has a second IP address and provides an embedded Web server (EWS) interface 32 for allowing a remote device, such as the terminal device 4 of the present embodiment, to pass through the network. The browser enters the second IP address and logs into the EWS interface 32, and views the system information of the server 3 through the EWS interface 32, such as the hardware and software status in the server 3, and monitors the server 3.

The terminal device 4 of this embodiment may be a mobile communication device, such as a smart phone, a tablet computer, an iPAD or a notebook computer, or a desktop computer located at a remote location, and includes a server 3 The wireless network interface 30 corresponds to at least one wireless network interface 40, and a server state instant detection module 41. Therefore, in this embodiment, the terminal device 4 is exemplified by three types of wireless network interfaces 40, namely, a wireless network interface A (ie, a WiFi interface), a wireless network interface B (ie, a 3G interface), and a wireless network. Interface C (ie, 4G interface), and the server state instant detection module 41 can be a preloaded terminal device 4 and can be centrally located by the terminal device 4. An application executed by a processor (not shown) or a firmware pre-programmed in the terminal device 4.

Moreover, in this embodiment, in order to be able to periodically monitor the operation status of the server 3, and when an abnormality occurs in the server 3, the manager of the server 3 can immediately obtain the system status information of the server 3 for immediate disposal, as shown in FIG. In step S1, the terminal device 4 of the embodiment is periodically connected to the server 3, that is, the server instant detection module 41 of the terminal device 4 is based on the first IP address of the server 3. The wireless network interface A~C is connected in turn to the wireless network interface A~C of the server 3 to test whether the network service provided by the server 3 is normal. As shown in step S2 of FIG. 3, if the network service provided by the server 3 is not abnormal, for example, the wireless network interfaces A~C of the terminal device 4 can be normal with the wireless network interface A~C of the server 3. When the connection is made, the terminal device 4 is disconnected from the server 3, and as shown in step S3 of FIG. 3, the terminal device 4 waits for a predetermined time, and then performs step S1 again, again taking the wireless network interface in turn. A~C is connected with the wireless network interface A~C of the server 3 to achieve the purpose of regularly monitoring the operation status of the server 3.

On the other hand, in step S2, when the server instant detection module 41 finds that one of the wireless network interfaces 40, for example, the wireless network interface B and the server 3, an abnormal condition occurs, such as a connection interruption or connection. If it is too long, as shown in step S4 of FIG. 3, the server instant detection module 41 of the terminal device 4 is connected to the BMC 31 according to the second IP address of the BMC 31 of the server 3, and issues an instruction, for example, through the BMC. 31 provided EWS interface 32 issued an IPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface, wisdom The smart platform management interface) commands the BMC 31 to request the BMC 31 to report a current status information of the server 3. Therefore, after the terminal device 4 receives the current status information of the BMC 31 back to the server 3, the server instant detection module 41 records the abnormal condition of the server 3 and the current status information, and displays it in real time. A display 42 of the terminal device 4 is shown, for example, in FIG.

Then, as shown in step S3 of FIG. 3, the terminal device 4 waits for a predetermined time, and then performs step S1 again, taking the wireless network interface A~C and the wireless network interface A~C of the server 3 in turn. Connect to continue to monitor the operation of the server 3 on a regular basis.

Therefore, the administrator of the server 3 can immediately display the status information of the server 3 by the terminal device 4, immediately perform the immediate treatment on the server 3, or judge the cause of the abnormality of the server 3. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, according to the abnormality information of the server 3 displayed by the terminal device 4 on 2014/7/1, if the manager can immediately handle the overheating problem of the central processing unit (CPU) of the server 3, the 3G may be solved. 4G and Wifi wireless network interruption problem, and according to the abnormal information of the server 3 displayed by the terminal device 4 in 2014/7/5, if the manager can immediately handle the system overload problem of the server 3, the 3G wireless may be solved. The network connection is too long, and according to the abnormality information of the server 3 displayed by the terminal device 4 at 2014/8/1, the administrator can judge the wireless network which may be the server 3 or the terminal device 4 where the problem occurs. The interface A is not mistaken for an abnormality inside the server 3, so that the source of the abnormality can be quickly and efficiently found and the problem can be solved.

In summary, the above embodiment uses the terminal device 4 to actively and periodically connect with the server 3 to test the operation status of the server 3. When it is found that the server 3 is in an abnormal state when the connection is made, the terminal device 4 actively requests the BMC 31 of the server 3 to provide the current status information of the server 3, so that the server manager has an abnormality in the server 3. The current situation of the server 3 can be timely and clearly understood, and corresponding measures or treatments can be immediately performed, thereby improving the management efficiency of the server 3, and indeed achieving the efficacy and purpose of the present invention.

The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto, that is, the simple equivalent changes and modifications made by the patent application scope and patent specification content of the present invention, All remain within the scope of the invention patent.
