驱动程序自动安装方法以及系统Driver automatic installation method and system

技术领域technical field

本发明是关于一种驱动程序自动安装方法以及系统，特别是关于一种可自动将驱动程序安装在计算机装置的系统以及方法。The invention relates to a driver program automatic installation method and system, in particular to a system and method capable of automatically installing a driver program on a computer device.

背景技术Background technique

驱动程序是计算机操作系统及应用控制与访问连接在计算机装置中各硬件的桥梁，针对一些具有统一标准的硬件，例如键盘、鼠标、硬盘以及软驱等，他们的驱动程序一般直接整合在操作系统中，因而可由操作系统自动识别并进行安装。然而针对现有绝大部份硬件，驱动程序并不由操作系统提供，他们是由生产厂商将其存放在光盘或软盘等记录媒体上，当使用者要安装驱动程序时，必需指明所要安装硬件对应的驱动程序所在位置，才能使操作系统在该指定位置中读取相应的驱动程序，完成该硬件的安装作业。然而由于硬件的种类繁多，且同一硬件针对不同操作系统的驱动程序也有不同，对于不熟悉计算机操作的使用者来说，一旦某一安装步骤发生问题，则会导致驱动程序的安装失败，从而造成硬件无法正常运转的状况，为使用者带来极大的困扰。因此现有技术的驱动安装方法对于使用者本身掌握的专业知识具有较高的要求，显然与计算机普及化的发展趋势相违背。The driver is a bridge for the computer operating system and application control and access to the hardware connected to the computer device. For some hardware with uniform standards, such as keyboards, mice, hard disks, and floppy drives, their drivers are generally directly integrated into the operating system. , so it can be automatically recognized and installed by the operating system. However, for most existing hardware, drivers are not provided by the operating system. They are stored by the manufacturer on recording media such as CDs or floppy disks. When users want to install drivers, they must indicate the corresponding hardware to be installed. Only when the location of the driver is located, the operating system can read the corresponding driver in the specified location to complete the installation of the hardware. However, due to the wide variety of hardware, and the same hardware has different drivers for different operating systems, for users who are not familiar with computer operations, once a problem occurs in a certain installation step, the installation of the driver will fail, resulting in The condition that the hardware cannot operate normally brings great troubles to the users. Therefore, the driver installation method in the prior art has higher requirements for the professional knowledge mastered by the user itself, which is obviously contrary to the development trend of computer popularization.

为改善上述问题，中国台湾专利公告第I228659号揭示了一种自动安装驱动程序的方法，该方法是在一电子产品连接到计算机设备时，该计算机设备即可从该电子产品中下载相应的驱动程序，并自动安装在该计算机的操作系统中。然而该方法缺点在于应用范围限制较大，也就是采用该方法的计算机操作系统必需支持PnP(Plug & Play；即插即用)硬件，否则，操作系统将无法自动识别不同类型以及不同品牌的硬件，只能由使用者采用现有技术用手动进行安装。In order to improve the above problems, China Taiwan Patent Publication No. I228659 discloses a method for automatically installing a driver program. When an electronic product is connected to a computer device, the computer device can download the corresponding driver from the electronic product. program and is automatically installed on that computer's operating system. However, the disadvantage of this method is that the scope of application is relatively limited, that is, the computer operating system using this method must support PnP (Plug &Play; plug and play) hardware, otherwise, the operating system will not be able to automatically recognize different types and different brands of hardware , can only be installed manually by the user using the prior art.

另外，中国台湾专利公告第444182号揭示了一种可自动将驱动程序安装到个人计算机中的方法，它是将相关硬件的驱动程序全部记录在一光盘中，并利用预先储存在该光盘中的自动安装程序，检测计算机的操作系统，将该硬件的驱动程序依照优先级别一一安装在该个人计算机中。该做法的缺点是计算机必需具备光驱，且针对单独安装的硬件，必需配备一相应的安装光盘，此举不仅浪费光盘容量，也会增加成本负担。In addition, Chinese Taiwan Patent Announcement No. 444182 discloses a method for automatically installing drivers into a personal computer. It is to record all relevant hardware drivers in a CD, and use the pre-stored The automatic installation program detects the operating system of the computer, and installs the drivers of the hardware in the personal computer one by one according to the priority. The disadvantage of this method is that the computer must have a CD-ROM drive, and a corresponding installation CD-ROM must be provided for separately installed hardware, which not only wastes the capacity of the CD-ROM, but also increases the cost burden.

此外，另有中国专利公开第1577252A号揭示了一种可自动安装设备驱动程序的方法，它是通过在计算机设备中内嵌一储存有该设备驱动程序的储存器，并利用计算机中一软件程序执行检测计算机设备、复制该设备驱动程序以及控制安装该设备驱动程序的作业，从而实现自动安装驱动程序。然而该专利公开案的缺点在于计算机操作系统需要能识别该硬件，并支持该自动安装功能，因而这种方式在实际应用过程中会受到诸多限制。In addition, Chinese Patent Publication No. 1577252A discloses a method for automatically installing a device driver by embedding a memory storing the device driver in a computer device and using a software program in the computer to Executes the job of detecting a computer device, copying the device driver, and controlling the installation of the device driver, thereby realizing the automatic installation of the driver. However, the disadvantage of this patent publication is that the computer operating system needs to be able to recognize the hardware and support the automatic installation function, so this method will be subject to many restrictions in the actual application process.

因此，如何提供一种自动安装驱动程序的方法，既可方便可靠的安装驱动，又无须考虑计算机操作系统是否支持程序的自动安装功能，且可减少实施成本，解决现有技术存在的缺点是目前需要解决的课题。Therefore, how to provide a method for automatically installing the driver program can install the driver conveniently and reliably without considering whether the computer operating system supports the automatic installation function of the program, and can reduce the implementation cost and solve the shortcomings of the prior art. Issues to be resolved.

在步骤S352中，使用者依据需求，在该设备信息表中择取一待安装的硬件10，接着进到步骤S353。In step S352, the user selects ahardware 10 to be installed in the device information list according to the requirement, and then proceeds to step S353.

在步骤S353中，依据使用者择取的硬件10，从该设备信息表中搜寻该对应驱动程序储存路径的信息，到该对应的储存路径中读取相应的驱动程序并将其储存在该本地硬盘201中一个指定位置上，接着进到步骤S354。In step S353, according to thehardware 10 selected by the user, the information of the storage path of the corresponding driver is searched from the device information table, and the corresponding driver is read from the corresponding storage path and stored locally. on a specified location in thehard disk 201, then proceed to step S354.

在步骤S354中，到该指定位置上读取相应的驱动程序，令该驱动安装模块执行自动安装作业。In step S354, the corresponding driver program is read from the specified location, so that the driver installation module executes automatic installation operation.

图4是本发明的驱动程序自动安装方法中更新硬件驱动程序的具体操作流程示意图。如图所示，首先进行步骤S410，获取待升级的驱动程序并储存在计算机装置20的本地硬盘201中，接着进到步骤S420。FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of a specific operation flow for updating a hardware driver in the automatic driver installation method of the present invention. As shown in the figure, first proceed to step S410, obtain the driver program to be upgraded and store it in the localhard disk 201 of thecomputer device 20, and then proceed to step S420.

在步骤S420中，执行中断指令，调用并显示该储存在本地硬盘201中的设备信息表，接着进到步骤S430。In step S420, an interrupt command is executed to call and display the device information table stored in the localhard disk 201, and then go to step S430.

在步骤S430中，在该设备信息表中选择一个待升级的硬件10，接着进到步骤S440。In step S430, select ahardware 10 to be upgraded in the device information table, and then proceed to step S440.

在步骤S440中，设置待升级硬件10驱动程序的读取路径，接着进到步骤S450。In step S440, set the reading path of the driver program of thehardware 10 to be upgraded, and then proceed to step S450.

在步骤S450中，判断该待升级硬件10的驱动程序与该硬件10是否匹配，若是，则进到步骤S460，若否，则结束操作。In step S450, it is determined whether the driver program of thehardware 10 to be upgraded matches thehardware 10, if yes, proceed to step S460, if not, end the operation.

在步骤S460中，读取该本地硬件201中待升级硬件10的驱动程序，并写入该硬件10的第二存储单元12中完成更新作业。In step S460, the driver program of thehardware 10 to be upgraded in thelocal hardware 201 is read, and written into the second storage unit 12 of thehardware 10 to complete the updating operation.

综上所述，本发明的驱动程序自动安装方法以及系统具有如下功能：In summary, the driver automatic installation method and system of the present invention have the following functions:

(1)本发明是在一自带驱动程序硬件连接到计算机装置上时，可提供该计算机装置的自动安装该驱动程序。(1) The present invention can provide the automatic installation of the driver for the computer device when a hardware with a driver is connected to the computer device.

(2)本发明在操作系统不支持自动安装功能时，可通过热键的方式激活该驱动安装模块，无需使用者手动安装，因此适用范围较广，且操作简单方便。(2) In the present invention, when the operating system does not support the automatic installation function, the driver installation module can be activated by means of a hotkey, without manual installation by the user, so the application range is wider and the operation is simple and convenient.

(3)本发明可确保计算机操作系统安装正确的驱动程序，避免硬件因驱动程序安装失败无法正常运转。(3) The present invention can ensure that the correct driver program is installed in the computer operating system, and prevent the hardware from being unable to operate normally due to driver program installation failure.
