Device and method for protecting computer operating system property right

Abstract

The invention provides a method for protecting the property right of a computer operating system, which comprises the following steps: whether an identifier exists in a desktop management interface of the computer is identified and judged; if the identifier exists in the desktop management interface, the operating system loaded by the computer is indicated to be a non-Windows system; if no identifier exists in the desktop management interface, the operating system loaded by the computer is indicated to be a Microsoft Windows system; when the operating system loaded by the computer is identified to be the Window system, a preinstalled software is uploaded to the computer. The method for protecting the property right of the computer operating system ensures that the function of the preinstalled software only appears in the Microsoft Windows system, thereby protecting the property right problem of the Microsoft.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a technology for protecting the property right of a computer operating system, in particular to a device and method for protecting the property right of a computer operating system. Background technique [0002] On the current Microsoft (Microsoft) Vista system, the functional software that needs to protect the intellectual property rights of the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacture) customer system is called pre-installation (SLP2.0, System LockPreinstall 2.0), and Microsoft only needs to display the SLP2.0 logo On your own Windows system, and restrict the logo of SLP2.0 to appear on non-Windows systems such as: Linux systems. Normally, Microsoft's direct OEM manufacturers will use SLP2.0 to pre-install the Windows system. SLP2.0 can provide OEM customers with legitimate product activation codes to protect Microsoft's Windows property rights. [0003] And the merchants of the basic input and output system (Basic Input / Output S...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] And the merchants of the basic input and output system (Basic Input / Output System, BIOS) developed at present all have the above-mentioned function that the logo of SLP2.0 appears on Microsoft Windows systems and restricts the logo of SLP2.0 from appearing on non-Windows systems

However, their usual practice is to divide the BIOS of the same motherboard project into two BIOS Binary files (BIOS binary files) to handle the functions of SLP2.0, that is, the binary files with SLP2. The binary file with .0 function is for non-Windows systems. The above method requires two binary files for this function for the same motherboard project, which causes unnecessary waste for both the testing department and the BIOS development and maintenance departments. For example, the testing department has to test two BIOSes for the same motherboard project at the same time, which increases manpower, material resources and financial resources.
