Description of the invention () Background of the invention: The present invention relates to a method for setting and updating a data processing system, and more particularly to a method for determining a crash by self-detection when the system crashes or fails. The occurrence of the situation ', and in response to the crash situation, the method and data processing system for automatically connecting the data processing system with a remote service center to diagnose the data processing system; Data processing systems that can automatically detect system errors and use the network and remote for signal transmission when errors occur in the processing system itself, such as personal computer systems (PC), terminals (TERMINAL), etc. When the data processing system becomes popular, the operating systems or software packages supporting computer systems are becoming more and more diversified; and the peripheral products of the data processing system are more diverse, including additional cards such as MP_EG. Cards, VQ4 * cards, and other peripherals. Resources. And when these hardware and software cooperate with the use of the data processing system, the BIOS (BASIC INPUT OUTPUT SYSTEM) of the data processing system must be used for the _ disk. Whether these peripheral resources can smoothly function in the data processing system is often related to whether the settings in the BIOS are correct. Once the settings in the BIOS are wrong, the system often fails to operate normally. However, in terms of the popularity of data processing systems, users of data processing systems are mostly application-oriented, and it is difficult to deal with hardware or software-related problems. Similar errors in settings, although For professionals, only setting changes can correct errors and make the system run smoothly, but for users, problems with such settings are enough to cause the entire system to be ineffective, and also cause the popularity of data processing systems. Obstacles and unfriendlyness to users. For computer system operation and management, the most important points are the management and configuration of the file system (hardware settings, software and driver settings, and system peripheral resource settings). Once these management and settings have errors or conflicts, the most likely to happen is the occurrence of crashes. For other reasons that cause the computer system to crash, in addition to problems in setting and management, 'there are errors due to hardware-related factors, and this paper standard applies to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (public director) $ -AL ------- Install -------- ^ Order ------ if ·-· (Please read the notes on the back before filling this page) Printing 81 3.10,000 424178 蝤 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention (7) Disperse the daylight JI system. For example, the jumper setting of the add-in card is incorrect, or the power supply system is abnormal, or the cooling system has lost its function, causing the temperature of the central processing unit to exceed tolerance, unbalanced resource allocation, and making some of the bus data flow too large, causing slow operation Etc., are all the main reasons for errors. And the use of the Internet is becoming more and more popular. Whether it is a local network or the Internet, it provides data processing systems with the functions of information exchange, communication and resource sharing through network connections. The use of the Internet 'has also enabled the development of the Internet service industry. The popularity of Internet connection and the fast data transmission feature. 'Network services will be able to quickly transfer new data to each network's endpoint (NODE), and even further into the client's (CLIENT) data processing. The system performs data retrieval and modification; and on the client side, it is more able to access the resources of the network service at any time through the network connection, or when a problem occurs, the network is connected to the appropriate network Service center or other users for assistance. The two servers (servers) play the role of soul hub in the computer network. Their function is normal or not, which involves whether the entire network system can work normally. Once the server malfunctions > the loss of resources caused by it is difficult to count. The network system operates 24 hours a day. If there is no one to deal with it in time when a failure occurs, the loss caused by the delay is difficult to compensate. Economy_-Central Bureau of the Central Government Bureau of the People's Republic of China 2 Consumer Cooperative Printing Bags Nowadays, many computer systems are operating around the clock * such as e-mail servers, national defense computers, weather computers, etc., which will continue to operate after startup, in response to data input or output Data processing work, but its all-weather operation will also occur when no one is on duty. If this situation is not detected and resolved in a timely manner, it is likely to remain undetected, leading to the loss of data and work. The delay will cause losses to the unit or enterprise using the computer system, which is difficult to compensate. Therefore, develop a system that can automatically detect when the computer has an abnormal condition, and store related system operating parameters regularly, so as to provide a reference for diagnosis and judgment; at the same time, it can automatically further notify the network administrator or remote service The center performs timely repairs or on-site service, and troubleshoots early; on the other hand, the best way to deal with it is: when the computer system fails, it can automatically connect to the remote data processing system in real time.

In response to the popularity of the Internet, computer networks have become more integrated with each other, becoming the biggest breakthrough in this century's lifestyle. In the network system, the server plays the role of a soul. Whether the server function is stable or not involves the use efficiency and reliability of the network. If the server frequently crashes and cannot be repaired, the losses caused by it cannot be estimated, and the benefits of using the network will be offset. Therefore, establishing a stable network environment is a very important requirement. But today, the most common situation when using the network is that when the network system fails, the service center is notified to start repair, which means that it is caught in an indefinite battle. Usually, the service center dispatches staff, diagnostics, waiting materials, assembly and other round-trip procedures and round-trip time. Not only is the maintenance cost extremely high, but during the delay period when the network is out of function, the unit using the entire system responds to The cost of crashing the system is staggering. From the standpoint of the maintainer, product users are located all over the world, especially in large countries, and not every repair center is set up. And sometimes for a simple setting problem, engineers often have to travel thousands of miles to carry out maintenance, which is inefficient, and it is not a problem; and for some more complex faults, maintenance engineers often do not prepare enough materials. The maintenance effect is not good; these are a waste of costs. From the standpoint of the administrator of the network, the server of a network system is open for operation for 24 hours, and the commute time of the personnel is fixed. If the server fails during the commute, the entire network communication Immediately lose functionality, and due to the trend of global division of labor, production cooperation between regions is becoming closer. Therefore, data is transmitted through the network for 24 hours. Once the server fails, it is only a failure during the off-hours. The loss of business opportunities and errors in data transmission caused irreparable losses.

Although it is extremely easy for professionals to troubleshoot, it is not suitable for non-related fields. · The excuse of the dumper is that the entire system is unavailable, and the situation is helpless. The use of dealers or repair stations for repairs is costly and time-consuming. It is time-consuming and not a good policy. Especially when the cause of the failure is just a simple setting change, such a repair. The cost of the method is too high, and it also has a bad impact on the image of the manufacturer. Therefore, if the computer system fails, At the same time, the computer itself automatically detects the occurrence of the error, and can automatically connect to the network in response to system errors *, and ask the remote service center for mercury assistance, and the remote service center understands the computer system through the network.

In the description of the concept according to the present invention, a computer system is used as an embodiment of the data processing system. In addition to computer systems, in addition to general personal computer systems, network servers can also be used in the framework of the present invention; of course, other similar data processing systems can also use the concept of the present invention to achieve the same functions. According to the framework of the present invention, a system monitoring device is installed in the data processing system. The system monitoring device includes a debugging software such as a debugging process driver and the like running under the operating system. The operating system will be compatible with each operating system, and its function is to detect the normal operation of the data processing system, and to contact the diagnostic control device.

Description of the invention (2) Better implementation In the example, the basic principle is to use a debug program linked to the operating system to achieve the detection function. Under the normal operating conditions of the data system, the system will periodically issue an interrupt signal to cause the central processing unit to periodically check whether the relevant counter settings of the system are established. As the time set by the counter expires, the central processing unit will execute the relevant And then return to the interruption point to continue the original program. The debug program can be set with a timer (COUNTER). The central processing unit responds to the count of the timer, and the execution command system sends a system status signal representing the normality of the system; the system can also use other related existing operating systems. The delay function (DELAY FUNCTION) is used to achieve a signal that represents the normal operation of the system at a certain interval. Conversely, when the system operates abnormally, the central processing unit may completely lose its ability to process data and stop operation 'or enter a wrong infinite loop, and the entire system will be inoperable. Corresponding to such a situation ', it is obvious that the counting or delay function of the counter loses its effect, and the system stops sending out the function representing the normal signal of the system during this interval. In response to the stop of this signal, it can be judged that the system has entered an abnormal operating state. Please refer to Figure 2 for the flowchart of the debugging function. Due to the same concept, there are still many embodiments to indicate the normal operation or abnormal operation of the system, which is well known in the industry and will not be repeated here. As for the basic input and output system (BIOS) of the computer system, it is necessary to add a related program 'to execute the debugging processing function. This section will be described in detail later. On the other hand, the data processing system is more capable of network connection. It has network connection devices such as modems, LAN cards, etc. The end points constitute a signal connection to form a data transmission path. The remote data processing system according to the concept also has related network connection devices, such as the modems or network cards mentioned above, and even wireless signal transceiving devices to establish signal paths and transmit data. The remote data processing system also has a communication protocol (PROTOCOL) that communicates with the data processing system for data exchange and communication with each other, and has related diagnostics and drivers to facilitate connection with the data processing system. At the time, the function of diagnosis and judgment is performed.

V. Invention Description (1) The diagnostic control device according to the present invention is a system that operates independently of the data processing system. In a preferred embodiment, it Contains a firmware, an I / O interface, and a controller. The controller can use established controllers on the market, such as the 8 " 7C625 controller produced by PHILIPS or other similar function controllers. Chip design companies specifically design special-purpose chips (ASICs) to achieve, this method is also commonly used in the industry; and the I / O interface can be completed with TTL. The tough system is used to control the operation of the controller and the signal communication protocol between the controller and the data processing system and the communication protocol between the controller and other systems to control the transmission and reception of commands, data and signals; the input / output interface is Used as an input / output interface with this data processing system. All the firmware and software that control the operation of the controller are stored in the controller's read-only memory (r0m> R), so the diagnostic control device operates as an operating system (OS) independent of the data processing system The operation of the device is not affected by the operation status of the data processing system. Because the diagnostic control device is a system that operates independently of the data processing system, the work of the diagnostic control device can be used for the data processing In the case of abnormal operation of the system, the diagnostic control device will take relevant measures to solve the problem. In order to perform the functions related to communication and control with the diagnostic control device and debug, the data processing system must load the relevant driver program. The driver can be loaded as shown in the embodiment of the first figure. The process can be loaded by checking the presence or absence of the diagnostic control device during the boot process; otherwise, it can be left unloaded to avoid affecting the operating efficiency of the data processing system. In order to further ensure that the debugging processing function of the entire data processing system is more stable, a circuit independent of the data processing system can be used. An independent power source supplies power to the diagnostic control device. When the data processing system works normally, the diagnostic control device fixedly receives a system status signal from the data processing system to represent the working status of the data processing system. Once the system status signal is The content represents that the data processing system is in an abnormal working state, or even that the system status signal is not received at all, and the diagnostic control device accordingly triggers a related debugging process to diagnose or resolve a fault in the data processing system.

V. Description of the invention (In the state, the diagnostic control device will remain in the STANDBY state in response to the content of the system status signal. 'Continue to fix Receive the system status signal from the data processing system without affecting the operation of the data processing system. See the third figure for the operation procedure of the diagnostic control device according to an embodiment of the concept. The diagnostic control device responds to the received Representing the system status signal of normal system operation, that is, setting a counter, and at the same time, if the counter ends counting, "check whether the system status signal is received again. If the system status signal indicating the system is working normally is set again as shown Counter, otherwise enter the debugging processing procedure shown in step A. According to the debugging processing procedure of this concept, a preferred embodiment A and a preferred embodiment B are used as an illustration, and other similar processing methods are Familiar with the skill of the industry. As shown in the fourth figure, in Embodiment A, the diagnostic control device responds to the system operation. Abnormal, that is, a system's highest-level interrupt signal, such as SMI (system management interrupt), is sent to the system, by which the highest-level interrupt call is issued to interrupt the current operation of the system and enter the corresponding SMM (system management mode), the memory unit sets a flag representing that the system has entered an abnormal working state, and sends a restart command to control the data processing system to restart. In Embodiment B, the diagnostic control device is directly stored in a memory. The unit sets a flag representing that the system has entered an abnormal working state, and issues a restart command to control the data processing system to restart; the difference from the embodiment A is that the debug processing program will not involve system actions. In the above two embodiments, a flag is set in the memory unit. This flag must be viewed before the system is restarted without losing the mark when the data processing system is restarted. Therefore, the billion-unit can be located in the system. The CMOS or NVRAM on it can also be the area memory of the diagnostic control device itself, and its related The procedure depends on the control of the firmware of the diagnostic control device and the operation of the driver of the system to form coordination. The booting procedure of the data processing system is shown in Figure 5. After the data processing system is powered on, it will respond to the driver. Program control, check whether the corresponding memory unit sets the flag: (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) Θ Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 size (210X297 mm) for mounting and gland, 2 83 3. 10,000 424 1 78 A7 B7 Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Central Standards Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs 5. Description of the invention (丨 丨) If the flag is not set, the system will perform the normal boot process; otherwise, the system will respond to The flag tree is entered to perform a diagnostic pre-procedure. In this embodiment, the pre-diagnosis procedure is part of the system BIOS program. The system BIOS enters the pre-diagnosis procedure in response to the setting of the flag representing that the system is in an abnormal working state during the boot process. A general computer system wants to form a signal communication channel with a remote computer system through the network 'must be implemented by the execution of the relevant program after the operating system is loaded. However, when a system error or crash occurs, it is often the case that even the operating system programs cannot be executed, not to mention the connection via the network. Therefore, the idea is to add the related network connection program to the pre-diagnosis program by ingenuity, so that the computer system can complete the network connection after going through the relevant program during the startup phase. The function of the diagnostic pre-procedure is to enable the data processing system to form a connection with the remote computer system through the network during the booting phase of the BIOS, and to enable the remote computer system to perform the data processing system through the network. Control and input. Such functions are similar to REDIRECTION: remote input is used as the input of the data processing system, and the output of the data processing system is sent to the remote computer system through the network. In this way, the remote computer system can access the relevant data of the data processing system through the network, and obtain the relevant data to determine the fault situation of the data processing system and its repairable status. If only the related settings are wrong, it will be changed from the network to the correct parameters. On the other hand, if it is other errors and failure reasons, the relevant parameters of the data processing system can be judged, and the related dispatch can be known in advance. Work and preparation. By using a remote computer system to obtain the records stored in the system CMOS or NVRAM, or the local memory of the diagnostic control device (LOCAL MEMORY), the relevant data processing system before the crash is obtained by the remote computer system. As a parameter, the computer system of the remote service center will be able to make relevant diagnoses and judgments to achieve the function of improving maintenance efficiency. An example of the pre-diagnosis procedure is shown in Figure 6. First, after the relevant output port and network connection device are initialized, a connection signal is issued, that is, the relevant phone number and credit are in accordance with China National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 mm)!

Description of the invention (〖7 ) Packet is sent out so as to form a connection with the network endpoint; then the input of the data processing system is converted to the input of the remote computer system, and the output is also sent to the remote according to the control of the remote computer system Finally, the remote computer system diagnoses by obtaining relevant parameters. After the diagnosis process is completed, the flag will be removed, and a restart command will be issued to control the data processing system to restart. — For another example, see Figure 7. In this embodiment, because the data processing system is in an abnormal working state, the diagnostic control device changes the connection path between the data processing system and the network connection device, so as to obtain a safe and reliable data transmission path and improve the system. Reliability of diagnosis and repair. In the embodiment according to the concept, the diagnostic control device inhibits the data processing system by integrating the input / output device (super 1 / 〇) and the input / output path fs. The system is enabled through the signal path of the diagnostic control device connected to the input / output port; and in the pre-diagnosis procedure, it controls the data processing system to perform input / output work through this path during the diagnosis process, to be diagnosed After completion, restore the original signal connection path. In an embodiment that does not depart from this concept, these two steps can also be integrated into the diagnostic pre-procedure and executed at once. After completing the diagnosis and removing the flag, the system is restarted by the command to restart. As shown in Figure 5, after the system is restarted, it will check whether the flag is set again. After being wiped out, the system immediately enters the normal startup procedure and successfully completes the diagnosis. Conversely, if the diagnosis cannot be completed directly by the remote end, the remote service center will be able to judge the system's failure status by operating parameters before the system crashes, and dispatch appropriate personnel and materials for maintenance, which is efficient. Achieve maintenance work. Another way of applying the concept is that the diagnostic control device responds to an abnormal working state of the data processing system by sending a pager number through the telephone network to notify the system administrator that the system has failed, so that it can be timely Complete the inspection and repair work. The data processing system constructed by applying this concept will leave the working environment in response to the end of the work in the data processing system. This will cause the diagnostic control device to judge that the system has entered a paper standard that is not applicable to the national standard (CNS) A4 specification.

When the data processing system (100) fails, the diagnostic control device (〇2〇) sends a diagnostic control signal and sets a flag on the CMOS (102) and sends an electrical boot command to control the data processing system (100) to restart and enter the BIOS ( The diagnostic pre-program of 106), through the input and output controller (110), connects from the input and output port (II2) through the modem (1M) to the modem (I42) of the remote computer system (M0), and Make a diagnosis. After the diagnosis is completed, the line is disconnected and the flag on the CMOS (I 02) is removed, and the machine is restarted to complete the diagnosis. The tenth figure of the drawing illustrates a second embodiment conceived according to the invention. In the tenth figure, there is a buffer device (115) controlled by the controller (124) of the diagnostic control device (U0). The buffer device can be a buffer such as 74LS244, which has a consistent control terminal for controlling. It acts like a switch, and the controller (I24) changes the signal path by controlling the control end. Therefore, through the control of the controller (124), the network connection path can be changed. Figure 11 shows a schematic diagram of the normal signal connection path. The diagnostic control device (120) is connected to the system through an input / output interface (122). When the system is in an abnormal working state, the controller (124) controls the buffer device (U5) to become the path shown in Figure 12. Through the diagnostic buffer; the device (126) is connected to the diagnostic control device (120) to complete a new signal connection path.
