Transmission control system and method thereof

The present invention relates to a transmission control technique, and more particularly to a system for use in a computer device for performing transmission control on a portable electronic device having a specific identification code plugged into the computer device And its method.

Most portable electronic devices, such as Global Positioning System (GPS) devices, personal digital assistants (PDAs), MP3 players, MP4 players, media input/output (MIO) units, external hard drives, Or mobile phones, etc., have a large storage capacity, can be connected with computer equipment to complete the transmission of data, making information transmission more convenient and fast.

The communication between the portable electronic device and the computer device is generally completed by a Mass Storage Class architecture with a high transmission speed. When the portable electronic device is plugged into the computer device, the computer device One or more new magnetic regions (for example, D zone, E zone, etc.) are created for the portable electronic device. At this time, the magnetic zone can be used to complete the connection between the computer device and the portable electronic device. Data transfer (such as file open, close, read, write, etc.) jobs.

However, with the above architecture, data sharing between the portable electronic device and the computer device can be realized, but the command cannot be sent to the computer device to directly control the portable electronic device to perform, for example, disconnection and restart. Waiting for the job. Taking the map in the GPS device as an example, when updating the map in the GPS device, the GPS device is first transmitted through a USB cable. A cable is connected to the USB interface of the computer device. At this time, a new magnetic zone corresponding to the GPS device appears in the computer device, and the general storage device communicates with the computer device, for example, The latest version of the map obtained by Internet download or CD copy is copied to the user-specified folder in the new zone. When the copy job is completed, the computer device will provide, for example, "Map update is completed, please remove the cable." After the user removes the USB connector of the USB cable (that is, disconnects the computer device from the GPS device), a prompt such as "Please restart the device" is provided on the GPS device, and then the user uses The GPS device needs to be restarted, but the map update operation of the GPS device can be completed. Therefore, in the whole process of the GPS device updating the map, the user must track and monitor the whole process, and timely perform corresponding operations on the computer equipment and the GPS device according to the prompts in order to successfully complete the update operation, due to such an update.
