Method for reappearing user configuration surroundings on computer by mobile memory device

Abstract

The invention relates to a method which utilizes a mobile memory device for recurrence of user configuration environment on a computer, wherein, configuration information related to user individuation configuration environment can be extracted and stored on the mobile memory device, and operation of the configuration information is redirected to the mobile memory device on a target computer, thereby the user individuation configuration environment is recurred. The technical proposal of the invention is that: system configuration information and environment variables are stored on the mobile memory device; moreover, resource access is intercepted and captured during the operating process through a system call package technology and redirected to the mobile memory device, and the user individuation configuration environment is recurred under the precondition that performance and reliability are almost not affected. The invention is compatible with existing window application software, and source codes of the invention are unnecessary to be modified.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of methods for reproducing a user's configuration environment on a computer, in particular to a method for reproducing a user's configuration environment on a computer by using a mobile storage device. Background technique [0002] With the decline of hardware prices and the increase of application software, computers have been popularized in people's work and life. At the same time, due to the increasing popularity of Internet access, users can not only connect to the Internet at home, companies, and Internet cafes, but also surf the Internet in coffee shops, trains, and airplanes; if the computer is equipped with a wireless network card, access to the Internet It's even more convenient. [0003] However, users are always accustomed to the desktop application environment configured by themselves, such as the location of "My Documents", the home page of "Internet Explorer", the icons displayed on the application tool...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] The method that usually solves this problem has: (1) adopt portable computer namely notebook computer, the portability of notebook computer can well solve the problem of the inconvenience of operation because environment change brings, but simultaneously notebook computer itself is in use aspect. There are many restrictions, such as carrying a few kilograms of things with you is still inconvenient after all, the battery life of the computer is limited, etc.

(2) Remote access. The advantage of this method is that you don’t need to carry anything with you. The disadvantage is that it depends too much on the network. It must be in a local area network or VPN (virtual private network) to have suitable performance.

(3) Using a virtual machine, installing the operating system on a virtual machine (VMware or VirtualPC), and then placing the virtual machine image on a mobile storage device to carry it with you can also solve this problem, but at the same time, the target machine must install virtual machine software , long start-up time, high requirements on machine performance, etc.
