Problems solved by technology

[0003] At present, there are many ways to obtain computer equipment information, and the technology is very mature, and the implementation is not complicated, but these technologies often only have a single function, that is, they can only be applied to a single or special operating system, such as Windows and Linux. systems, the ways to obtain device information in their respective system environments are different, and different implementation methods need to be selected in a targeted manner
At the same time, these technologies are only data collection methods to obtain equipment information, and these functions are far from meeting actual needs in the management of computer equipment assets in enterprises
[0004] Most of the existing computer equipment information collection methods can only be applied to a single machine or system environment for equipment information collection and statistics, or even if the equipment information is obtained, it cannot be automatically summarized and counted, and manual work is required. Carry out classification statistics and analysis
Many kinds of data acquisition tools or acquisition methods for acquiring computer equipment information are provided in the known technology at present, including: directly acquiring computer equipment information from a device driver (Driver); utilizing the Windows Management Instrumentation (Windows Management Instrumentation, WMI) standard to acquire computer Device information; obtain computer device information through Intelligent Platform Management Interface (Intelligent Platform Management Interface, IPMI) standard; Tools or acquisition methods also have their own limitations when used:
[0009] In summary, the single computer equipment information collection method in the known technology cannot meet the actual needs of enterprises for data collection and effective management of computer equipment assets. Therefore, it is urgent to provide a method that can collect all information on various operating system platforms Method for data collection and effective management of computer equipment information

Embodiment 1

[0057] The year-end inventory of equipment assets is a task that every enterprise must implement, and each inventory will consume a lot of manpower and material resources of the enterprise. If the computer equipment information collection and management method of the present invention is used, the above work will be much easier to complete. The equipment administrator can carry out the following operations (precondition is that the computer equipment to be counted is all in the network, and is running the client server application program of the inventive method):

[0058] First, the server side sends a query command to the network, requiring all client server applications to send the current equipment list on the machine and the data of equipment changes in this year to the server side.

[0059] Then, when the client receives the query command, it immediately finds the information list of the current device from the database, as well as the data of the device change within th...

Embodiment 2

[0062] After the enterprise's computer equipment has been used for a period of time, the originally purchased internal memory capacity is not enough and needs to be increased. Therefore, the equipment manager needs to conduct statistics and analysis on the computer equipment to determine how to update the internal memory.

[0063] First, the management application program interface at the server side will send a request command to all client computer devices in the network to collect their internal storage information according to the requirements of the administrator.

[0064] Then, after each client computer device in the network receives the request command, it sends the device information of the internal memory in the machine to the server in the form of an extensible markup language (XML) data stream, and the device information includes a complete Internal storage information, including information about the computer where the internal storage is located, the number of int...

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for collecting and managing the information of a computer device, which carries through information collecting, analyzing and management on the device information of a multi-client computer that runs in a normal network through service terminal/client application program; wherein, the method includes the following steps: client service application program is installed on the multi-client computer to run and management application program of a server is installed at a the server terminal to run; after the system of the client computer is started, the corresponding data collecting mode is selected to carry through real time data collecting to the device information in the computer according to the operation system type of the computer; after being analyzed and gathered, the collected device information is classified and stored in sequence; the changing situation of the device information is monitored and recorded in real time; and the stored device information and the changing situation of the device information are transmitted to the server terminal to carry through statistical analysis and tracing management.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method for collecting computer equipment information, in particular to a method that can select a corresponding data collection mode according to the type of computer operating system for real-time data collection, analysis, storage and remote management of the equipment information in the computer. Background technique [0002] Nowadays, in this era of "information technology" changing with each passing day, various information technologies are developing rapidly, and the speed of updating information equipment is always accelerating. As far as computer products are concerned, there are countless kinds of hardware equipment, and new products are emerging in an endless stream. How to effectively manage these computer devices has become a problem that enterprises must face. Among them, the increase or decrease of computer devices is the most frequent asset change in the application of enterprise information. Real-time i...
