Best Mode for Carrying Out the Invention
Reference will now be made in detail to embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like reference numerals refer to the like elements throughout. The embodiments are described below in order to explain the present invention by referring to the figures. When detailed descriptions related to a well-known related function or configuration are determined to make the spirits of the present invention ambiguous, the detailed descriptions will be omitted herein. Also, terms used throughout the present specification are used to appropriately describe exemplary embodiments of the present invention, and thus may be different depending upon a user and an operator's intention, or practices of application fields of the present invention. Therefore, the terms must be defined based on descriptions made through the present invention.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating an internal configuration of an apparatus 100 for providing an online game service using multiple operating systems (OSs) according to an embodiment of the present invention. Hereinafter, operations of the apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 1.
As illustrated in FIG. 1, the apparatus 100 may include a first input unit 101, a management unit 102, an activation unit 103, an execution unit 104, and a first control unit 105. In this instance, the block diagram of FIG. 1 may be based on a module directly and/or indirectly related to the present invention, which may be similarly applicable to other figures. Block diagrams illustrated in the present specification may be designed into a module. The module may denote a single unit that functions to process a particular function or operation. The module may be embodied in hardware or software, and may also be embodied by combination of hardware and software.
The apparatus 100 may denote an apparatus for providing an online game service, for example, a personal computer (PC), a notebook, a mobile phone, a personal
digital assistant (PDA), a personal multimedia play (PMP), an electronic dictionary, and the like.
The first input 101 may receive a signal for switching from a first OS to a second OS while the first OS is being executed. In this instance, the OS may denote, for example, a program that controls hardware and software of a computer to enable a user to use the computer, and may be referred as the operating system. The OS may function as an interface between hardware and an application program and may also manage computer resources such as a central processing unit (CPU), a main memory device, an input/output (I/O) device, and the like. The switched signal may be automatically recognized or may be applied according to the intent of a user that desires to use the online game service.
When the signal is received for switching from the first OS to the second OS, the management unit 102 may deactivate the apparatus 100. For example, the management unit 102 may use a power-off scheme. In this instance, the deactivating operation may be a concept including at least one of shutdown, halt, sleep, hibernation, process stop, and process pause. The process may denote a unit execution program such as an application program of a host computer or a terminal, and may correspond to "a program being executed" depending on embodiments.
The activation unit 103 may again activate the apparatus 100. In this instance, the activating process may be a concept including rebooting the apparatus 100 and the like.
During the activating process, the execution unit 104 may execute a second OS in which only a limited mode exclusive for the online game service is activated. The second OS may denote an OS exclusive for the online game service, which is different from the first OS. Specifically, the second OS may denote, for example, an OS in which no unnecessary program is stored and any service operation unassociated with the online game service is cut off. Also, the second OS may denote, for example, an OS in a state where only a network service required for the online game service is activated and an inbound port is closed. In this instance, the network service required for the online game service may denote a network service required for, for example, a HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP), HTTP over Secure Sockets Layer (HTTPS), and encrypted communication.
The state where the inbound port is closed may denote a state where only some inbound ports are limitedly closed, or a state where all the inbound ports are closed.
Also, Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) communication may adopt a client/server scheme. A server side waits for an access request from a client and a client side attempts to access a server. In this instance, the client and the server may not correspond to each other by a one-to-one communication scheme, and instead may communicate with each other by a one-to-many communication scheme. When a plurality of entities exists, a port may be used to discern the plurality of entities.
A port via which the client side attempts to access the server side may be referred to as an outbound port. A port via which the server side allows the client side to access the server may be referred to as the inbound port.
While transmitting/receiving data between the client and the server after communication is initiated, two-way data may be exchanged and thus bi-directional communication may be performed. However, when a communication access is initially attempted, a uni-directional communication from the client to the server may be performed at all times.
A method of preventing a hacking attack against the inbound port and the output port from occurring while using the second OS in which hacking threat is eliminated will be described later in detail. The first control unit 105 may control the apparatus 100 to provide the online game service on the executed second OS. Specifically, a process of providing the online game service may include, for example, a process of accessing a website address to provide an online game service and the like.
When simultaneously processing a general program and an online game service on a conventional single OS, according to an embodiment of the present invention as shown in FIG. 1 , it is possible to solve a problem of being exposed to hacking threats as is such as malicious code entry, virus infection, and the like.
FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating an internal configuration of an apparatus 200 for providing an online game service using multiple OSs according to another embodiment of the present invention. Hereinafter, operations of the apparatus 200 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 2.
As illustrated in FIG. 2, the apparatus 200 may include a first input unit 201, a
virtual machine (VM) processing unit 202, an execution unit 203, and a first processing unit 204. In this instance, the apparatus 200 may significantly improve a user convenience and reduce a required time using a virtual computer, which is different from the apparatus 100 of FIG. 1. The virtual computer may include all the generally discussed virtualization technologies. For example, the virtual computer may denote a VM, OS virtualization, and the like. The VM may denote another virtual computer that is created by software constructing an actually existing computer system.
While a first OS is being executed, the first input unit 201 may receive a signal for executing both the first OS and a second OS. The signal may be automatically recognized, or may also be applied according to the intent of a user that desires to use an online game service.
When the signal is received, the VM processing unit 201 may operate the virtual computer. The execution unit 203 may execute, on the operated virtual computer, a second OS in which only a limited mode exclusive for the online game service is activated. The second OS may denote an OS exclusive for the online game service, which is different from the first OS. Specifically, the second OS may denote, for example, an OS in which no unnecessary program is stored and any service operation unassociated with the online game service is cut off. Also, the second OS may denote, for example, an OS in a state where only a network service required for the online game service is activated and an inbound port is closed. Also, the state where the inbound port is closed may denote a state where only some inbound ports are limitedly closed, or a state where all the inbound ports are closed.
The first processing unit 204 may control the apparatus 200 to provide an online game service on the executed second OS. For example, a process of providing the online game service may include a process of accessing a website address to provide an online game service and the like.
In comparison to the apparatus 100 of FIG. 1, the apparatus 200 of FIG. 2 may embody multiple OSs, for example, dual OSs using the virtual computer and thus does not need to reactivate the apparatus 200, for example, reboot the apparatus 200. Therefore, the apparatus 200 may be advantageous in saving a required time. Also, since the apparatus 200 may use a portion of information of an existing OS, the
apparatus 200 may be advantageous in improving the convenience of a user that uses an online game service.
FIG. 3 illustrates a system layer according to the apparatus 200 shown in FIG. 2. Hereinafter, the system layer of the apparatus 200 will be briefly described with reference to FIG. 3.
According to an aspect of the present invention, it is possible to generate a layer of initially operating a first OS 301, operating a virtual computer 302 when a request signal for an OS exclusive for an online game service is received, executing a second OS 303 exclusive for the online game service on the virtual computer 302, and executing an online game service program 304 on the second OS 303.
FIG. 4 is a block diagram illustrating an internal configuration of an apparatus 400 for providing an online game service using multiple OSs according to still another embodiment of the present invention. Hereinafter, operations of the apparatus 400 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 4. As illustrated in FIG. 4, the apparatus 400 may include all the components included in a block 110 of FIG. 1 or a block 210 of FIG. 2, and may also additionally include a second input unit 401, a determination unit 402, and a second control unit 403. The first input unit 101 or 201, and the second input unit 401 may be designed as a single module, or may be designed as separate modules. The similar scheme may be applicable to the first control unit 105 and the second control unit 403.
The second input unit 401 may receive a website address where the online game service is provided. The determination unit 402 may determine whether the website address is an access-allowed website address. When the website address is determined as the access-allowed website address, the determination unit 403 may control the apparatus 400 to limitedly access the received website address. For example, when the apparatus 400 uses TCP/IP communication, the determination unit 402 may determine whether the received website address is the access-allowed website address based on a host name or an IP address. The access-allowed website address may be designed to be limited to, for example, a website address of a pre-set online game service provider or an authorized legal institution.
In this instance, TCP/IP is a communication protocol that is developed for communication between computers and may denote a combination scheme of TCP and
IP.
Accordingly, when an apparatus is designed as shown in FIG. 4, there is an additional advantage in that it is possible to basically eliminate a possibility of further hacking using an outbound port and the like. Specifically, it may be possible to prevent a hacking threat by a modulated website from occurring.

The output unit 501 may output, during a predetermined period of time, at least one of a message and a voice informing that a mode of switching from a first OS to a second OS is being executed. According to an aspect of the present invention, the predetermined period of time may be designed to be less than or equal to a switching time. Also, a message output time may be set to be different from a voice output time. Accordingly, a user may more readily accept the process of switching from the first OS to the second OS corresponding to an OS exclusive for an online game service. An example of outputting the message is shown in FIG. 6. FIG. 6 illustrates a display screen of an apparatus for providing an online game service using multiple OSs according to an embodiment of the present invention.
