[Field of the invention] The present invention is an embedded information storage device, in particular, a method applied to a general-purpose information storage device and controlling its operation through remote control: [Background of the Invention] Information processing is progressing rapidly in technology today Devices have been widely used in every field. With the continuous development of technology, the functions of information processing devices have become more and more diversified. However, in this era of information explosion, relative information processing devices require various different functions to provide The user manages the information, but also needs enough space to place huge information. From the above situation, we know that in order to cope with the era of mobile communication, portable information storage devices have become an indispensable equipment in information processing devices. Because of this, information storage devices have convenient portability, but their disadvantages are: The reason is that the capacity is too small to store a large amount of information. For example, the floppy disk (F10ppy ΜA) has already faced the dilemma of insufficient capacity and has been gradually eliminated by the market. For the above shortcomings, there are known technologies to develop miniature hard drives (Micro 1Ver) flash memory card (Memory St i ck; MS) ... etc.

j Continuing monitoring, unless the embedded 40 is used to remove the embedded type: 2: 1 and 10, and the external monitoring behavior also includes two other type 2 'query modes and data backup modes, and will enter step B separately. And # 着 through the management terminal 50 to detect whether an abnormal state occurs (step 1 Α, if no abnormal state occurs, continue to step 1 2 0, if there is an abnormal state, then the management terminal 50 to close the The function (step 13) of the embedded f-message storage device 10 at the user end 40, which is the meaning of disabling the embedded information storage device above (disab) e, disabling, , 凊 Refer to Figure 2 ~ b, after step 130, through the management terminal 50

Determine whether to restore the function of the user terminal 40 (step 14). If there is no recovery, the abnormal state has not been resolved, repeat step 1 40; if the function of the user terminal 40 is restored, then the user terminal 40 is normal Operate (step 150), and end this process. Please refer to FIG. 2-c, which is a flowchart of a client in the method for remotely managing an embedded information storage device according to the present invention. After explaining step A, the client can enable the embedded information storage device through a self-recovery mode. Methods. First, 'the client 40 detects whether a stop signal is received (step 20 0)' If the client 40 does not receive a stop signal, it returns to step 150 'if the client 40 receives a stop signal, then the use The on-demand information storage device 10 at the terminal 40 is suspended (step 210). After the operation is stopped, the user terminal 40 detects whether a response signal is received (step 220). This action is continuously detected. After receiving the reply signal, it returns to step 150; if it does not receive the reply signal, the user terminal 40 uses a secret
