Description

Remote booting system and remote booting unit and booting method thereof

The invention relates to a remote booting system and a remote booting unit and a booting method thereof, in particular to a remote booting system and a remote booting unit for opening a controlled terminal device through a wide area network, and a booting method using the remote booting unit and the remote booting system.

Background technique

In recent years, with the rapid development of computers and the ubiquitous application, it has become common for individuals to have several computers at the same time. Thus, the remote self-service of personal computers (users visit at home, office, school, and even during travel, business trips) Another personal computer in a different location) has been an urgent and practical need for many personal computer users. In addition, after the wireless network enters the 3G era, wireless smart terminals such as smart phones and netbooks will further promote and expand the application of personal computer remote autonomous services.

At present, the remote control software of the personal computer can be realized by the remote control software, but to use the remote control software, the computer must be in a working state, and the use cost is high and the resources are wasted.

In order to solve the above problems, it is necessary to use a remote booting technology. At present, the remote booting technology is mainly divided into two types: a network sending "magic package" booting and a phone booting. Among them, the network sends "magic package" boot only for the local area network, this boot method can not achieve remote booting outside the LAN, can not meet the user needs. In order to solve the above problems and meet the needs of users, Chinese Patent Application No. 200610128986.6 discloses a verification method based on WAN module remote booting or wake-up on March 12, 2008, which discloses a remote opening based on a mobile phone. The method of the computer, but the user who uses the method must have a telephone module that occupies a "dedicated line" of the mobile phone on the computer, and receives the power-on signal through the telephone module, which is costly; Similarly, Chinese invention patent No. 200610018795.4 in 2006 A remote boot control system and method based on telephone boot is disclosed on September 27, which discloses a remote boot control system in any place with a telephone and the Internet. The user connects to the starter by telephone, and the starter raises the second to sixth after the phone rings. The user enters the startup password or IP address and password. After the verification is passed, the computer sends a startup signal to start the computer or sends a MAC packet to the network card of the computer where the IP address is located. The computer is started, and the remote terminal is automatically loaded after the computer starts. Control software, when the remote host connects to the controlled computer in any network environment to realize remote control, file transfer and monitoring, and the remote boot system and method need to have voice module and telephone related circuit in the open machine, the cost Higher, and if the phone ringing is interrupted (if someone is connected to the phone), remote booting is not possible and inconvenient to use.

In order to solve the above problem, a router that can release the power-on command issued by the master terminal is currently used, but the router must have a public network IP address, otherwise the power-on command issued by the master terminal cannot reach the controlled terminal.

At the same time, with the modernization of household appliances, many home appliances can be remotely turned on by telephone, which greatly facilitates the user's use. However, like the above-mentioned telephone remotely turning on the computer, this kind of telephone is turned on remotely and must be occupied at the controlled boot terminal. A telephone resource has a higher cost.
