Description

Method for Automatically Updating Computer Basic Input/Output System from Remote

technical field

The invention relates to a method for automatically updating a basic input/output system (BIOS) of a computer from a remote end.

Background technique

Nowadays, the use of computers is becoming more and more common, and relatively speaking, the competition is also becoming more and more fierce. Therefore, in order to seize the opportunity, the manufacturers often release the computers they manufacture even if there are still a few flaws that do not affect the operation of the computer. Moreover, when users get a new version of the computer's basic input/output system (BIOS), they do not know how to load the new version of the computer's basic input/output system (BIOS) into the computer they are using. In the process, the action of updating the basic input/output system (BIOS) of the computer is completed. Therefore, how to automatically update the basic input/output system (BIOS) of the computer on the user's computer has become a headache for all manufacturers.

Contents of the invention

In view of the above-mentioned defects, the present invention provides a method for automatically updating a basic input/output system (BIOS) of a computer from a remote location.

A method for automatically updating the basic input/output system (BIOS) of a computer from the far end of the present invention, the method mainly makes the main computer pass through the network, and detects whether one of the computer systems at the far end is in a wake-up state (Wake up on lan mode), and if so, transfer the new version of the BIOS to the computer system while starting the computer BIOS of the computer system without starting other devices of the computer system memory, and before closing the computer system, the new version of the basic input/output system (BIOS) of the computer is automatically executed, so that the purpose of automatically updating the basic input/output system (BIOS) of the computer system can be achieved.

If the main computer detects that the remote computer system is not in wake up onlan mode, it will end all actions.

Before updating the basic input/output system (BIOS) of the computer, the main computer will first check whether the serial number of the computer system in the online working state has been registered and stored in it. If not, the main computer will end all processing actions ; If so, then further check the setting state of the computer system, if the setting state is not to automatically update the computer basic input/output system (BIOS), then the main computer will end all processing actions; if it is to automatically update the computer basic input/output system If the status of the output system (BIOS) is output, the main computer will start to update the basic input/output system (BIOS) of the computer system.

When the main computer completes the check of the serial number and related status of the computer system connected to it, the main computer will store the version serial number (code) of the basic input/output system (BIOS) of the computer originally stored in the computer system, and the new Compare the version number (code) of the computer input/output system (BIOS) of the new version, if they are different, clear the computer basic input/output system (BIOS) originally stored in the memory, and then execute the new version of the computer basic input /Output System (BIOS).

Detailed ways

A kind of method of automatically updating basic input/output system (BIOS) of computer from the far end of the present invention, please refer to shown in Fig. 1, Fig. 2, this method is to order host computer (in this embodiment is the server of manufacturer) After controlling one of the remote computer systems through the network, it detects whether the system is in wake up on lan mode, and if not, ends all processing work, and if so, connects the computer system to it line, and in the state of starting the computer basic input/output system of the computer system, but not turning on other devices (such as the screen) of the computer system, check the serial number of the computer system and whether the registration has been completed. If the registration is not completed, then The main computer ends all processing actions; if it is a registered serial number, then continue to check the setting status of the computer system, if the setting status is not to automatically update the basic input and output system (BIOS) of the computer, then the main computer will end all If the processing action is to automatically update the status of the basic input/output system (BIOS) of the computer, the main computer will start to update the basic input/output system (BIOS) of the computer system;

When the main computer updates the computer basic input/output system (BIOS) of the computer system, it reads the version serial number (code) of the computer basic input/output system (BIOS) of the computer system, and writes the version serial number (code) Compare with the version number (code) of the basic input/output system (BIOS) of the computer to be transmitted, if the same, then the host computer will end all processing actions, if not, then further compare, the version number ( code) is less than the value of the version serial number (code) of the basic input/output system (BIOS) of the computer to be transmitted, if not, the host computer will end all processing actions, if yes, the computer will continue Check whether the related devices are in a normal state when processing with the basic input/output system (BIOS) of the computer. If not, the main computer will end all processing actions. If yes, the main computer will transfer the new version of the basic input/output of the computer The system (BIOS) is sent to the memory of the computer system to store the computer basic input/output system (BIOS), which is a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) in this embodiment, and at the same time, the original computer basic input stored in the memory is cleared. After /outputting the system (BIOS), execute the new version of the basic input/output system (BIOS) of the computer, and the main computer will shut down the computer system when the work of updating the basic input/output system (BIOS) of the computer is completed, And stop its control, in this way, the work of updating the basic input/output system (BIOS) of the computer can be automatically completed without the user's knowledge.

To sum up, the method of the present invention for automatically updating the basic input/output system (BIOS) of a computer from a remote location can not only improve various shortcomings of the conventional technology, but also improve efficiency in use and is practical.
