Method for determining bridging device identity

Abstract

This invention relates to a method for identifying the identity of a bridge-connector including the following steps: inputting a standard order in conformity with the criterion of a standard interface specification to a standard interface device, carrying out said standard order and generating a piece of output information containing multiple sets of no-available output parameters to a bridge connector, designing at least one no-available output parameter as an identifying parameter to judge if the identifying parameter is corresponding to the connector so as to identify it.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a confirmation method, and more particularly, to a method for confirming the identity of a bridge. The bridge can be confirmed by setting a no-available output parameter of output information as an identification parameter by the bridge. Background technique [0002] Since the invention of the computer (ie, computer) system, it has brought considerable convenience to the people in terms of work, thereby greatly improving the work efficiency of the people. In addition, the computer system can also provide users with a lot of functions in terms of leisure and entertainment, such as watching movies and listening to music, etc., so that the users can fully relieve their physical and mental stress after work. In order to improve the performance of today's computer systems to meet the needs of the users, the functions of the standard interface devices of the computer systems are becoming more and more powerful and comprehensi...

Problems solved by technology

However, the current standard interface specification only defines standard commands for identifying standard interface devices, but does not define standard commands for identifying bridges

For example, two standard interface specifications, Advanced Technology Attachment (ATA) and Advanced Technology Attachment Packet Interface (ATAPI), only define IDENTIFY DEVICE and IDENTIFY PACKET DEVICE) standard commands for identifying Advanced Technology Attachment (ATA) standard interface devices and Advanced Technology Attachment Packet Interface (ATAPI) standard interface devices respectively, however, there is no defined standard command for identifying The identity of the Advanced Technology Attachment (ATA) bridge and the Advanced Technology Attachment Packet Interface (ATAPI) bridge, so the software program cannot first confirm the identity of the bridge when it is executed, resulting in the failure to prevent unauthorized operators from using this software program
